HERE TO MINE COPPER
Steve Logan Buys Property Known to Bear Copper and is Prepared
 to Work It.

Out in the Heath valley, l6 miles east of Mena, Steve Logan, who recently came here from Idaho, has purchased from Gen. eral Heath and Mrs. Nj. F. Aber- crombie a tract of land on which is located an old copper mine. It is not one of the mythical kind worked by Spaniards or Mexicans, hundreds of years ago, of which there is nothing left but fabulous stories and suuken spot in the ground. On the other hand, this property was worked as late as five years ago, and Mir. Logan was one of the parties who worked in it then. They reported finding good copper, but were without means to properly de- velop 1t.
 After failing to interest capital tc open up the mine Logan went to Idaho and went to work in the copper mines there. In the past five years he has learned much about copper mining, and for tune has favored him until he states now that he has sufficient means and is here to develop this mine. Mir. Logan has the ueces- sary machinery ordered and as soon as 1t arrives will begin ac tive operations.

CONVICTED UNDER
 TONEY WAGE LAW
Collector Who Sent Claims From Pine Bluff to Kansas City Pays Fine Before the Prosecutor
 Acts.

Pine Bluff, Aug. 5.-The new law, protecting the wages of employees. fathered by State Senator H. K. Toney of this county, and passed by the recent legislature, recorded it's first victim in this city yesterday, when s. H. Williams, of the collect ing agency of Williams < Biggadike, of this city. paid the minimum fine of $10 in each of two cases which were pending in Magistrate J. P. Knox's court. Williams paid the. fines before Deputy Prosecuting At torney Creed Caldwell had a chance to prosecute him, pleading guilty before the magistrate and settling the court costs.
 Information was filed in the local court before Prosecutor Caldwell after that official learned that the collecting agency had sent two claims to Kansas City firm of col lectors and had sued and garnisheed two local employees of the Cotton Belt railroad. It was the object of Senator Toney's bill to give the rail- road men especially an opportunity to make defense in cases of this character and when their pay checks were withheld in the two cases re- corded recently, judgments were taken in the East St. Louis court and the railroad company was served with an attachment. The pay checks of the local railroad men did not arrive and they complained to the prosecutor, Creed Caldwell. for an enforcement of the law. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Caldwell was preparing to file information against Williams .& Biggadike, when Will Hams learned of it, hurried to the magistrate court and raid the fine. The conviction of the local collect ing company is the first recorded in
 Arkansas since the passage of the law.

MENA CLIMATE WINNING.
W. H. Garrigan, a Wealthy Retired
 Farmer. Here With Family.

w. H. Garrigan with wife and four children arrived last week from Union City. Tenn, expecting to make their home in Mena. They are at present stopping at the new home of Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Rob- ert, who are friends of many years.
 MT. Garrigan is a retired farmer, and having reached that desirable state where he can look more to the comforts and pleasures of life than to money making, he says that he proposes to live where he can rear his four children to manhood and womanhood in health, free from the malaria, ill health and discomforts of the low land country. He was here month ago and what he found caused him to decide to bring his family.
 In this connection, 1t is interesting to know that Joseph Robert was brought here by small advertise ment inserted in a Tennessee farm paper by Father Gallagher. What he found caused him to interest Mir. A. Martiny, who now is building a fine home on Tenth street, and later Mir. Garrigan.
 And these undoubtedly will bring others.
