Of the words by which we signify the
qualities of duty, of mercy, of devo.
tion to the right, of lofty disinterest-
edness in battling for the good of
others There have been other men
as great and other men as good: but
in all the history Of mankind there
are no other two great men as great.
Widely though the problems of to-
day differ from the problems set for
solution to Washington when he
| founded this nation, to Lincoln when
he saved it and freed the slave, yet
the qualities they showed in meeting
these problems are exactly the same
as those we should show in dong our
work today.
Lincoln saw into the future with
the prophetic imagination usually
youchsafed only to the poet and the
seer. He had in him all the lift to-
ward greatness of the visionary, with
out any of the yisionary's fanaticism
or egotism, without any of the vision
arys narrow jealousy Of the practical
man and inability to strive in practi-
cal fashion for the realization of an
ideal. He had the practical mans
hard common sense and willingness
to adapt means to ends but there
was in him none of that morbid
growth of mind and soul which binds
so many practical men to the higher
things of life No more practical man
ever lived than this homely back
woods idealist; but he had nothing
in common with those practical men
whose consciences are warped until
they fail to distinguish between good
and evil. fail to understand that
strength, ability. shrewdness. whether
in the world of business or of politics,
only serve to make their possessor a
more noxious, more evil member Of
the community, if they are not guild
ed and controlled by fine and high
moral sense
We of this day must try to solve
many social and industrial problems,
requiring to an especial degree the
combination of indomitable resolution
with cool-headed sanity. We can pro
fit by the way in which Lincoln used
both these traits as he strove for re-
form. We can learn much of value
from the cry attacks which following
that course brought upon his head,
attacks alike by the extremists of
revolution and by the extremists of
reaction. He never wavered in de-
votion to his principles, in his love
for the Union, and in his obhorrence
of slavery. Timid and lukewarm peo-
pie were always denouncing him be-
cause he was too extreme; but as
matter of fact he never went to ex-
tremes. he worked step by step; and
because of this the extremists hated
and denounced him with a fevor
which now seems to us fantastic in
its dedication of the unreal and the
impossible At the very time when
one side was holding him up as the
apostle Of social revolution because
he was against slavery, the leading
abolitionist denounced him as the
slave hound of Illinois," When he
was the second time candidate for
President. the majority of his oppo-
nents attacked him because of what
they termed his extreme radicalism,
while a minority threatened to bolt
his nomination because he was not

POWER HOUSE IS
 TO BE STARTED
Shelter Engineers Decide to Unwater The Blue Bell Mine Tn Order to De- termine the Character of the Ore Bodies In That Property.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

That the power house at the Hum bOldt shelter will be started in a few days, in order to generate power SC that the Blue Bell mine may be un. watered, is the encouraging statement given out last night by A. S. Dwight, consulting engineer of the Arizona Smelling company, who arrived here in company with F. N. Flynn, the engin- eer-in-eharge.
 "The question of resuming smeltin g operations at Humboldt has received my careful study during the month that l have been on the ground" said MT. Dwight.
 ''I regret that cannot yet give any assurances that it will positively be started. The situation is exceedingly complicated, and many prelimlna.ies yet remain to be arranged before it would be possible 10 resume. HOwev- CT, a great deal of satisfactory progress has been made toward a solution. The ore supply has been carefully looked into, and the prospect IS somewhat bet ter than first appeared.
 1.-The only piece of news can give you now is that the Blue Bell mine vii; be unwatered preparatory to an exam ination, and if conditions are found to be favorable, development work will probably be commenced. This will be effective as soon as we ear furnish the Blue Bell with electricity from the power house at the smelte~, and with this object in view the power house will be started up as soon as the prop- CT arrangements can be made.

MARBLE PROSPECTS
 IN THE CHIRICAHUAs

The United States Geological Sur vey service has sent out the following report on marble in Arizona:
 The marble prospects in the Chiriea- hua mountains, Arizona, were investi- gated by Sidney Paige, of the United States Geological Survey, in 1908, at the request of the Supervising Arehi- tect of the Treasury. The two groups of deposits examined are in COchise county, Arizona, and are accessible from Bowie. Ariz., and RodeO, \. Mex. The rock is practically a nearly pure carbonate of lime, a medium grained crystalline granular structure, and is white. with Pinkish tones. It is prob ably available for exterior building and for interior decorative use. Tests of the marble were made at the Geo logical Surveys struetural-material lab oratory at St. Louis.
 A report on the investigation ap- pears in the Surveys Bulletin 3S0-I; which may be had on application to the director at Washington.

I of the stacks at Humboldt before very long. My only regret is that it is nos smoke from the smehing furnaces, but let us hope that day may soon come.
 CT am starting for New York, and cannot say just when I shall be able to be back again There is a great deal to do at that end of the line also. Meanwhile my assistant, Mir. F. N Flynn, will continue the york jero ss engineer in charge"
 Mir. Flynn stated that upcn his re- turn to Humboldt tomorrow he would immediately make an inspector of the, power plant with the purpose of nak ing the necessary repairs preliminary to starting up the plant. While MT. Flynn has been here q couple of months, his part of the work has teen confined principally to making exami- nations of mines in this county and in the A. & c. country, and his duties along those lines have not yet been completed. The chief object in unwat- ering the Blue Bell is to ascertain if the ores there are suitable fuxing ma terial, and to what extent the bodies exist. So far it has been impossible to make an inspection below the second level, and it will be about three weeks before the mine can be fully 9nWat- cred.
