Nothing has stirred up Phoebe
quite as much in several weeks
as the strike made recently
on the Colfax group in the High
land district, and within the
shadow of the mountain through
which the lodges of the great
Mendha mine make their way.
1t was not until early in jan

one Of the best known and influ-
ential mining men of this dis
trict, became cognizant Of the
existancein Highland Of a man
ganese fissure equally as persis-
tent as the one which has fed
the rich Mendha beds and Of
about equal width.
Subsequent investigation has
proved the continuity Of this
manganese fissure for a distance
approximating $4,000 feet. and
for nearly 5000 feet across ter
ritory which has been acquired
by Mr.. Prudential within the
past few weeks. Openings made
along the course Of the fissure at

impressed than ever about the
permanency of this camp. | am
satisfied that it has a wonderful
future; that the next year
will record some splendid devel-
opments, and that there
will be a steady increase in the
payroll, which, Of course, means
a greater population.
Phoebe is destined to become
a great bonanza camp. In anum-

large ore bodies blocked out and
in shape to produce heavily, as
we'll as a number Of other mines
yet in the early stages of develop
ment, but which give promise Of
responding in a manner which
will be very gratifying to the
owners.

ROOSEVELT ON SOCIALISM

b J
Theodore Roosevelt slops over
when he talks about socialism. He
has no idea what socialism is and
he goes outside his province when
he speaks or writes on the subject"
is the declaration Of Prof. Albion
w. Small of the University OF
Chicago.
Prof. Small's criticism refers
directly to the article by Mr..
Roosevelt on Socialism published
in last weeks issue Of the Outlook.
Roosevelt declares that social
lists put no value on any but the
material side Of life, continues the
professor. THAT reminds me Of
Mrs. Hetty Green calling Jane
Adams a materialist. l am not Q
socialist myself, but think it is a
mistake for those who are not
socialists to misrepresent the so
cialistic doctrines, because it gives
those of that faith the idea that
their opponents are not sincere

American women will soon have
the right to vote a. freely as Amer

morning a sack of cocoanuts ad-
dressed to a Chinaman at San Anto-

The sack of cocoanuts arrived by ex-

been called for.

The express messenger was lying with
his head upon the sack and was the
most difficult of the three to awaken.
When it was found that they were
not drunk examination of the contents
of the sack was made and it was
found that one of the ocoanut was
