Prepare For Ten Stamp Mill.

Development work on the Lost Gulch mine is soon to be resumed perma- nently, according to statement made by President J. T. Harrington of the Lost Gulch United Mines company.
 At present, there is only a foreman and a few men at work on the prop erty, engaged principally in clearing out the old workings and overhauling the old mill, which is to be moved 60 d more advantageous spot, but the company is preparing to put in a ten stamp mill of modern design and begin work in earnest as soon as possible.
 This is the only gold-mining pro- position being worked in the district, but MT. Harrington, in conversation expressed himself as delighted with the prospects. He showed specimens of ore from various depths, the values of which ran from SlJ ton to 5000. and declared that he was confident that there was much to be done in gold inning in Globe district.-Silver Belt

Spectacular Burning Wells.

No effort whatever is being made to control these wells. The oil men have a tanciful belief that after the gas has blown off the production of oil will be improved, but there is no justification for this beliet, for the rapid escape of gas rather injures the oil chances of the field by per hitting an influx of salt water as the gas pressure is removed. The real reasons for this prohigate waste, ap- parently, are the facts that there is no immediate use for Ibe gas beyond that now supplied to Shreveport and Texarkana, and that the sensational spectacle of this burning gas at night will advertise the field to those passing through it on trains.
 An investigation of this oil field in cooperation with the GeoloicalS Survey of Louisiara is now in pro- gress by the United States Geological Survey, and additional information concerning it will soon he available.

Another Shipment of 50 Per Cent Ore.

Ordinarily, when charges incident to mining copper orc run the total cost to an amount in excess of S35 ton one does not hear of more than one shipment, but in the case of a property in the Ajo mountains which is being operated by the Renal Ore Reduction company of Boston, A. D. Lee, manager, it is altogether differ ent for the ore has a value of Sl0S a ton. MT. Lee is in Douglas with a carload of the ore which is being reduced tthe Copper Queen smelter. Thisis only one of several shipments made recently.
 The ore is bornite and comes from the mines operated in the old days of the territory by Col Bean. It is necessary to freight the ore forty eight miles from the mines in Pima county. These mines were perha ps the first mined in the territory. The ore Mir. Lee has been shipping runs around fifty per cent in copper.
 Mir. Lee has of late given good deal of time towards perfecting the patenting of devices to be used in the mining and smelting industries and he and Superintendent Lee of the Copper Queen shelter have been going over the drawings together. One of his inventions is a powdered coal burner and another is a new sort of oil burner for furnace.-Lnterna-' tio7al

Couatland, new mining camp that has recently come to the front, is located about twenty miles north east of tombstone and near the town of Gleason. The C. x A. and the Copper Queen mining companies ot Bisbee have made large invest ments there and as a result perhaps 150 miners are now at work. There are two other large companies oper- ating there, the Great Western and the Leadville Mining company. It is predicted that the Courtland min ing camp will be a second Bisbee in the production of copper and that the town of Courtland in twelve months will have population oI 2000 people. IL now has three stage lines, one from Pearce, one from Tomb stone and one from Douglas. There is rush of people to the new camp and wheu the new railroad from Douglas to Courtland is the town will be of phe- growth.

 At the convention of the Arizona Federation of Women's clubs, held in Yuma recently, d paper by Mrs. Nora B. Kibbey was read, advocating a girls industrial school. At present wayward girls are committed to the reform school at Benson, to which Mrs. Kibbey objects, saying: "A moments reflection will show you how improper that is, owing to the expense and the constant sex-menace to which such proximity exposes them" The Federation is asked to urge upon the legislature the neces- sity of establishing d reform school for girls.
 At meeting of the Farmers and Business Mems association held in Stafford, George L. Freestone, Will liam Ellsworth, L. P. Mattice and s. E. Allen reports of their experience with dairy COWS.

The should give the farmers of the valley encouragement to go into the dairy business on a large scale. J. M. Foster reported that all the first and second crops of hay would be needed to supply the dema nd now being made for the hay from the different min ing camps.

Phosphate Rock Produced and Exported.

There were 2,265, 900 tons of phos- phate rock produced in the United States in 1907, and ot this amount 9JO,O0O tons, or about 10 per cent, was exported. The phosphate rock of South Carolina is nearly exhausted, !, the Florida deposits have reached their maximum production, and al though the output of the Tennessee deposits is growing, these deposits, if the increase in the rate of production shown during the last decade con- tinues, will last only about eleven years. There Is some phosphate in Arkansas, but it is of low grade. At the present rate of mining the known available supply of high-grade phos- phate rock in the United States will last only fiftyfOur years, and if the increase in production shown during the last decade continues the supply will be exhausted in tweuty-hveyears
 1t is therefore evident that the large deposits of the public-land States must be depended on to replen;sh the fertility of the farms of the United States, ard the only available method of preventing the acquisition Ot these phosphate deposits by foreign con- panies for shipment abroad and of insuring their use on our own lands is apparently to retain the title in the Government and lease the lands under provisions that sill prevent eXPOrta- IiOn.

In statement the interstate com merce commission elucidates the pro- vision of the law which authorizes the issue of free transportation or re- duced rates to ministers of religion. The commission says: "A clergyman does not lose his ministerial standing by reason of the fact that he leaves the pastorate for some other field of religious activity. A minister who becomes editor of d church paper, instructor in d theological seminary, financial agent for church or other religious institution, or who engages in other work which may fairly be regarded as religious in character, and who does not abandon his minis terial work, may legally be accorded special transportation privileges"

Phelps Dodge And The SOu:hweCt.

The lpS-Dodge interests are not losing any time in getting down to business on that Douglas to Courtland extension, observes the Fl Paso Her aid.
 These people are active, energetic, hard working individuals, imbued with the true spirit of the west, such peo- pie as have made and are making the west the greatest place on earth. They are at the front in every move- ment for building up the section, con- servative, yet not afraid to risk venture that looks as if it might pay, if that venture is going to do the en- tire section any good.
 They do not conline thei. work to railroad development and mining Op- erations, either, but they believe in developing other enterprises that fol- low the opening of mines and the building of railroads: and they circu- late their money freely and help every community they enter.
 Fl Paso, says the Herald, owes much to the Phelps Dodge interests and their money: the benefits are ap- parent every day and are increasing as the Phelps Dodge interests increase and Fl PasO becomes more and more commercial metropolis.
 This big corporation put many of the liveliest of southwest towns on the map and it is making them great CT each year and putting others into the great galaxy of active southwest ern communities.

While students are admitted for special work at all times, they will find it greatly to their advantage to enter as near the beginning of a term as possible. New classes are then or ganized in several subjects and the adjustment of q course can be more satisfactorily made. Teachers who complete a term of teaching during the winter months frequently find it desirable to enter the Normal to pre- pare themselves for the June eXamina- tion, or for the purpose of pursuing studies along pedagogical lines for professional provement.

SUBSCRlPT!ON.--S5.O0 PER ANNUM
DoG.PoIsoNER IS A DIsPIcABLE BEING.

One of the most dispicable of
human beings is the cowardly per-
son oman or woman) who will put
out poison promisciously about a
crowded city or village for the pur-
pose of discriminating dogs. I'm
prisonment is altogether too easy
punishment for anyone convicted of
such a distardly deed-a horsewhip
in the hands of skilled user or a
big brawney fist with a good, deter
mined man back of it, would be
a much better REWARD"
Some cowardly cuss has been
putting out poison around the city
of Bemidji and on Monday night
caused the death of several valuable
dogs in this city.
Much indignation is felt at the
action of the dog-poisoner and it is
pretty certain if his identity is dis
covered, he will be given a deserving
chastisement without waiting for the
formality of a trial in the municipal
court.
While Bemidji may have surplus
of no-good CANNES, still there are
several valuable dogs in the city, the
owners of which have purchased duly
licensed tags and are entitled to the
protection gained thereby.
The police have been making
away with unlicensed CANNES, and
there is no good reason for distribu-
ting the poison for the purpose of
exterminating dogs.
