year ago. while in Salt Lake, he an
nounced confidently and authoritauvely
that he would build a new Orpheum
theatre in Salt Lake in the near future,
and that he would convert the old
theatre into a musical comedy house.
The new theatre is still unbui,t. Some
people think John Cort beat him to it,
while others imagine that the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Beck was a neat little fairy
story he gave as an atonement for TAX
ing the salt Lake Orpheum out of To-
cal control.
Despite the apparent thrift Of the
theatrical magnate, there is a Cpsmo-
politan generosity in his nature which
appeals to everyone. His salaries-al-
ways less the . per Cent-are good, and
ne is ever ready to increase the sal
aries if the returns are good, and al
ways ready to help the unfortunate ac-
tor. He is always looking for the novel
in vaudeville, always avoiding the vul-
gar. There is no suggestive act on his
circuit. When the SaIome dance was
first introduced in America, Martin
Beck passed up certain enormous box
Office returns, because he stood only
for clean vaudeville
Martin Beck first introduced sketches
on the vaudeville stage. He saw the
possibilities of the sketch. He was
looking for something new and some
thing novel. The playlet caught him.
and the playlet has since been an es-
sential feature of the Orpheum stage.
He encouraged newspaper men and
others to write sketches and gave each
careful tryout. tt it pleased him, it

Ray Consolidated to Increase Capital.

At directors meeting on July 14th it was voted to call a special stock holders meeting, to be held on July 29th, at which stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposition to in- crease the capitalization by 100000 shares, the stock to be offered pro rata, and at price to be determined.
 This action was occasioned by the remarkably favorable and rapid de- velopment of the property, from which it is evident that operation on a larger scale will be called for than was at first contemplated.
 Since the official report, as of May 18th, showing 21,OOO,OOO tons of ore developed, there have been developed further reserves of 7,OOO,OOO tons, making a total of 2S,OOO,OOO tons. This, is believed the largest body of fully developed ore on this continent.
 It has therefore been decided to make the mill of 5000 tons daily capacity, instead of 5000. This would result in an annual production of 56,- 100000 pounds of copper, which-as- suming a cost of 9 cents a pound, yield, on 13-cent metal market, and on the new capitalization, profit of $2.25 per share.

Found RattIesnake in A Water Bucket

Were 1t not for the excellent re- putation that F. H. Simmons, of Tempe, bears, readers of the follow ing yarn might have reason to sus- pect that MT. Simmons had fallen from grace and had formed the habit of seeing things. It is snake story, of course, but MT. Simmons took the precaution to remove from the reptile, its rattles which he holds as proof of it's existence and death. MT. Sim mons went to the well to get a drink Of water. He pulled up the bucket as usual, but when it neared the top, he saw at a glance that the bucket contained something else beside water. A large sized rattler had taken temporary quarters in the bucket and was prepared to resent it's disturbance. MT. Simmons exercised considerable caution and removed hls snakeship from the bucket with a stick and forthwith proceeded to flatten it's head with a rock.

Douglas Has New Mexican Consul.

From a purely local standpoint, overdue several months, Luis G. Uli- barri has come from faraway Ama- pala, Honduras, to relieve Daniel Montes as consul for the republic of Mexico at Douglas. MT. Montes left for Nogales immediately where he will assume similar office to the one held here.
 Four or five months ago, the an- nouncement of MT. Montes' appoint ment to the Nogales consular office was made public, and his successor was momentarily expected. After a few months intermission, with no new consul, it was feared he had been sub merged in one of the revolutions which are of almost daily occurrence in Honduras, and it was doubted if he would ever get out of the revolu- tion belt to come to Douglas.
 But the tears of months have been dissipated and here is MT. Ulibarri, sitting right on top of the job and watching Senor Montes pack his dress suit case for Nogales. Moreover he is alleged to have the distinction of being a living image of Hartman and the 3406 Hartman doubles scat tered over the country.-Douglas h. ternational.

A Warning From Uncle Sam.

Santiago Hernandez, young Mexican boy of about eighteen, was found guilty of removing mail from the postoffice at SoIomonville, and opening and destroying a number of letters, in United States court last week at Globe.
 According to the testimony intro duced at the trial, Hernandez and Benito Bargas, the latter a mere boy, entered the Solomonville postoffice and after trying a number of lock boxes found one which was not fast ened.
 This box happened to be that of Nit Simms, county recorder, contain ing number of letters. Among other letters opened and destroyed were three containing two checks and a money order, aggregating S2.75.
 Hernandez forged the name of Nit Simms to the checks and cashed them. The money order was des- troyed but the pieces were after wards found. The identity of the looters of the mail was later dis covered.
 Bargas was not held on the charge. He appeared as a witness, however. and his testimony as to the affair had much to do with Hernandez being found guilty. He was sentenced to one year.

Rare Minerals Found in Mexico.

The mining development of Mexico has so far been largely confined to winning the common base minerals and precious metals. The xception to this is the production from early times of a large amount of quicksil- yer to meet the needs of the exten- sively used patio process. In fact the government definitely encour- aged the discovery and development of mines of this metal from colonial times, part of the time maintaining an absolute monopoly of it as con- trol on the silver mining industry. Quicksilver is still produced in many places in Mexico and although its imperative need in metallurgy is past it is used in the country greatly in excess of the production.
 The rare element vanadium was discovered in Zimapan, Mexico, in the early part of the last century and there has been a small output from this locality and from Charca-, San Luis Potosi, and Pozos, Guana. juato, in recent years. It is pro- duced incidental to mining for other ores and occurs in various forms. It is found with mimitite near Zlca- tecas.
 Tungsten is reported in sever.

AN INCREASE OF 2,35O PER CENT.
The Part the Rural Telephone Has Played in the Winning of the West.

Two thousand three hundred and fifty per cent. seems rather large figures to be dealing with, even when one is considering as broad subject as the increase in the use of rural telephones. Yet it is a fact that in the fve-year period ending Decem- Der 3I, 1907,- the number of phone stations in the rural districts of the western states did jump 2,350 per cent. In actual figures, the eleven states which constitute this group had 2,559 country telephones at the end of the year 1902; five years later they had 62,774.
 These figures are from the most striking part of the latest telephone census. Statistics placed side by side tor comparison always speak an in- teresting story. One may deduce some telling facts from the following table, showing just how many rural phones each western state had in 1902 and in 1907.

A Card For Clifton.

F. w. Sullinger returned from Bis bee where he played several games with the Bisbee ball team. He says that Clifton beyond all question, has the champion ball team of the terri tory. This team is explained by McTlyeen who voluntarily quit the New York Americans this spring to take position with one of the Cliff ton copper companies as a mining engineer, which is his profession. There are also two University of Pennsylvania players on the Clifton nine and each one earned his letter at college on the ball team. All of the players are bona-6de as they are pursuing their engineering work in Clifton.-Tucson Citizen.

Arizona's Wonderful Scenes.

Mammoth caves and caverns, large enough in which to place city office buildings and natural stone bridges, exceeding in beauty and grandeur those of Utah and Virginia, have been discovered to exist in northeast ern Arizona. This was officially an- nounced from Denver last week by Professor Edgar L. Hewitt, director of the branch school of American archaeology at Santa Fc, N. M. He had just returned from a trip in which he was guided by Indians. He used pack mules from Gallup, N. M. Another expedition will be made next spring. He claims to have found traces of cliff dwellers hitherto undiscovered.

Cooley Slated For Justice.

President Taft has appointed Will liam R. Harr, of the District of Columbia, assistant attorney general of the United State, to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of Afford w. Cooley to the Arizona supreme court bench.-From the July number Law Notes magazine of New port, N. Y"
 Edward Kent is to be succeeded as chief justice of the Arizona supreme bench by Afford w. Cooley, of Wash ington, D. c, if information which reached Phoenix indirectly from Washington is to be relied upon.
 Cooley is not yet appointed, but he is said to be slated for the Arizona bench. Chief Justice Kent already being in possession of the informa- tion that he must step down, so it is said.
 When Kent was admitted to prac- tice before the courts of Arizona at the last session of the supreme court there was much speculation as to his motive in the move. To many it looked as if there were more behind the move than mere sentiment.
 Kent was admitted at what is now believed to be the last session of the Arizona supreme bench at which he will sit as one of the presiding magis- trates. The next time he appears it will possibly be as pleader instead of judge. Evidently the Law Notes magazine has made what might be termed a "faux. pas," or Cooley has not yet been appointed by Presi. dent Taft to succeed Kent, for as soon as the appointment is made it will become public through trans. mission to the senate for confirmation which will probably be the December term ot congress.
 An explanation of the statement in Law Notes is that the Washington correspondent was confdentially in formed that Cooley was to succeed Kent. His magazine was not to ap- pCdI 1OI SCNCI al WGShS, anu SuDDOS ing that President Taft would make the appointment before the maga' zine appeared sent the information to his journal.
 Cooley is son of Judge Cooley for several years one of the learned professors at the Ann Arbor law school, and we'll known to judges and lawyers as an able writer on law sub' jects.
 Chief Justice Kent is now absent from Phoenix, leaving several weeks ago for California for the summer He is expected to return about Sep. tember 1.
 Republican politicians who were seen and would express an opinion were inclined to the opinion that Cooley is to succeed kent. Kent has made one of the ablest chief justices Arizona has ever had and his departure from the bench will probably meet with considerable local opposition.

localities in San Luis Fotosi and in Sonora, but the only production so far has been from Sonora. Molynum occurs in many places as the sulphide and as wulfenite, but it is not of commercial quantity. Some wulfen- ite was offered from a Chihuahua locality recently and molybenite from near Hermosillo, Sonora. Wm. Niven has reported uranium in rare form from Guerrero, but it is found in limited quantities.
 Radium is frequently reported in the secular press, but scientific de- monstration of it's existence in Mexico is yet to come. Probably lumines- cent zinc blende was mistaken for the rare element, as this mineralogical freak is found in several Mexican localities. A fine specimen from Saltilio was recently presented to President Diaz. Strontium is found in several localities. but is not ex- plotted.
 Bismuth is a common vein mineral in Mexico, large quantity having been shipped from the Belen mine in Sonora and some from a mine in Rosario, Sinaloa, which produced some several years ago. The Bis muth King mine in Sinaloa is report ed to be a very extensive deposit of bismuth ore running about 2 per cent with other metals. An American company has been endeavoring to treat this ore by mating to save the bismuth. Bismuth of high grade is found near Ojo Caliento, Chihuahua, and is reported from other localities. As yet the product of this valuable mineral is negligible.
 Nickel and cobalt have been found in Chihuahua and in Topic. Several tons were shipped from Topic some years ago, but the deposit was not found to be extensive enough to war rant development. Mica is found in Oaxaca and some shipments have been made recently. It is not likely to develop on a large scale, as the individual deposits are small aud oc- cur in the limestone fault Assures in the much broken region about Oax- aca. Some deposits in the granite from this section are reported.
 Asbestos is found in Oaxaca also, but the quality is poor. Barium min erals exist in several localities, but so far have not been exploited. An alum deposit in Chihuahua is now being investigated for the needs of the local trade.
 Graphite is found in Oaxaca of good quality, but iu small deposits. The most important deposit of this material in Mexico if not in North America, is in Sonora. It is owned by an American company and is ex- tensiyely shipped to Michigan for preparation.
 Tin and sulphur are treated in other articles. Manganese is found in several places in sufficient amounts to justify exploitation if the price was better. It is found in Durango and near Mexico City and Zacatecas. A small amount is used locally for fuxing. Magnesite is found in Lower California. Fluorspar is exploited at Chalchusites, Zacatecas, and abounds in Coahualo. Vast areas of phos- phate rocks are found in northern Mexico.
 Of the hydrocarbons, asphalt abounds along the gulf coast and also grahamite and one deposit of golso- nite is established. The asphalt is used extensively locally for paving.
 The Mexican field is but slightly in- vestigated for these rare and special mineral products.

 It must be remembered that the telephone was nothing new in 1902. It dates back to 1876, but its marvel ous popularity is of more recent origin in fact, is within the memory of all. Where once the telephone was the luxury of the rich man, now it is utilized by thousands of plain American farmers, who find it their greatest convenience and business aid. That is the story told by the telephone census and there are many other statistics of more than pass ing interest.
 In the United States in 1902 there were 266,966 rural phone stations. Five years later the census recorded l ,464. 733, an increase of 449 per cent. The number of farms in the country is given as 5,535, ,611.. Ia 1902 but PAS per cent. of these farms were equip ped with facilities for communication over the telephone wire. Five years later the percentage was 26.5
 The state of Iowa on December 31, 1907, showed 78.9 per cent. of it's farms using the telephone. Today unofficial figures place the percent age at 85. For the increase in the number of farm tele- phones has gone on even more stead fly since the latest census figures were published. According to the statement of the Western Electric company, which manufactures all the telephones and apparatus used in this country by the Bell system, it alone has sold over eighty thousand rural telephones within the past six months.
 An up-to-date farmer once said that he would as soon think of now ing his hay with an old fashioned scythe as of trying to conduct his farm successfully without a tele- phone. These are the days when agricultural America is retaining so-called waste land; is buying farm implements that reduce toll and in crease productiveness and the tele- phone is the instrument that is going hand-in-hand with all these improve ments in the rural communities.
 The farmer or ranchman who sells his products or stock keeps we'll i'm formed on the fluctuations of the market by means of tle telephone. He sells at top price and calls his 'phone a real money-saver. If there is sickness in the house he can locate the doctor even if he has to phone across the county. He can get in quick communication with the veteri- nary surgeon if some one of his precious animals becomes suddenly indisposed. For his wife and children there is a means of enlivening the long day by conversation and ex- changes of visits with neighbors. Neighbors on western farms are often many miles apart but they can be brought nearer than next door with the aid of the telephone.
 These are some of the many req sors why rural phones jumped 449 per cent. in the United States and 2,350 per cent. in the tar west in five years. It can truly be said that the country telephone has had its part in the winning of the west.
