Into this shaft fits exactly an ironwood head, some six inches long. and on this again the barbed point is fastened. The steel head of the arrow, and the ironwOod top piece, for two inches or more, is smeared with the much dreaded poi

 The same interests are vigorously developing the ore body on their Miami property. there now being more than l4,000.000 tons of ore blocked out averaging about 2A per cent copper. If 70 per cent of this copper content is saved it will mean a recovery of about thirty pounds of copper to the ton. The first unit of the concentrator to be erected is planned to treat 2,000 tons daily. which would mean a pro- duction of 27.360.OOO pounds annually for period of thirty-five years. The full capacity of this mill when final ly completed will be 1000 tons daily, which would mean an output of ever 1000. 900 pounds each year.

 Since January 1 there have been nine transactions in Arizona Of such mag nitude that a brief resume should pro~e of interest as indicating in some degree the vast amount of new cap ital that has been attracted to the ter ritory during the past year.

BAREFOOTED BISHOP FROM MALABAR
 VISITING HERE

New York, May 15.-In honor of two brothers, each of whom has achieved
 distinction in his field, Archbishop
 Farley gave a dinner yesterday. The
 men are A1ois Benziger, Bishop of
 Malabar, British India, and his broth
 CT; A. Benziger, portrait painter, who
 has studios in this city, Paris and
 Switzerland. At the dinner was Mich olas Benziger, a cousin of the broth CTS and head of the publishing firm of Benziger Brothers.
 Bishop Benziger has been in this city almost week, and until yesterday ev- erybody he met addressed him as
 MT" Benziger. Before he came to visit his brother he asked that the cret as he had no desire, he said, to be made much of in church circles.
 He is one of the youngest bishops in the Catholic Church. Twice before he was thirty years old the Pope non1in- ated him Bishop, but each time the he was too young. Ten years ago he accepted the appointment and has since labored as barefooted member of the Carmelite order in Malabar. His family is one of wealth and sta tion in Switzerland, and when Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Farley were abroad last summer they visited the place of the Benzigers in Swift zerland.
 The Archbishop yesterday invited to meet the Benziger brothers Mgr. La velle, Mgr. Mooney, Father Lewis and other clergymen. For the first time since his arrival in this country Bish- op Benziger wore his episcopal robes. He will remain in tIais country several weeks. Before leaving he will call on Cardinal Gibbons and other membe CTS of the Catholic hierarchy whom he has met in other countries.

The Right Sort of Boss,

what I want every American citizen to do

trust those that are giving up their
strength and energy and enterprise to put
that great work through When you
have agents who are doing your work
you stand behind them If you don't, you
cannot get your work done. The men

Elective Officers Not Barred.

In its discussion of the Knox eligibility
problem in Saturdays issue The Star
sought to point out some absurdities
which might result from strict and
technical construction of the Constitution
such as that which denied that Senator
Knox could be qualified for its Secretary
ship of State by repeal of the salary in
crease provision. With other suggestions
of the possible effect Of salary-increase
legislation upon political fortunes it pro-
pounded the proposition that Mr.. Bryan
might have been rendered ineligible for
the presidency in 1901 if he had been
elected a senator in 1897 or 1899 and a
law had been enacted increasing the sal
airy of the President. This was an error
of statement, as The Star has been ad-
vised since from several quarters. The
constitutional prohibition is against ap-
pointments TO offices the emoluments of
which have been increased. 1t is not eff
fectve as against elections to office.
Doubtless the Constitution makers rea-
soned that within certain limitations, such
as age and place of birth, the American
voters were at liberty to choose for Office
any man they preferred, regardless of his
legislative record or the possibility that
he had participated in a salary-increase
enactment, while il was unsafe to intrust
the President with the right to appoint
whomsoever he saw fit, if the man of his
choice CHANGED to be a member of a sal
ary-increasing Congress. Omitting the
case of Mr.. Bryan from the list of pos
sible horrible examples. there remains
ample foundation in the other results sug-
gested for The Stars claim that such
technical constructions as that which
would undoubtedly dsqualify Senator
Knox breed absurdities when carried to
their logical end.
