w. L. Gansert, the Rock Island
indy manufacturer, is contemplate
lg an addition to the plant he is now
occupying. The increase of Mr.. Gan

he past few years that his quarters
ave been outgrown. The limit has
ZEN reached, and it will be neces-

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Get the hop
For the Christmas shop,
And don't stop
Till you've got your crop
OF Christmas things all in,
And your tin,
To the last cent,
Is spent
On the sentiment
That's good all through,
But which makes you swear
If you stand it off
Till the very air
Is filled with rush
And the jam and crush
And the pull and the haul
And the punch and the maui
And the run and the jump
And the shove and the thum
OF a million buyers
Who wait and wait,
Then all crowd in
So they won't be late;
A million buyers
Who swear and sweat,
Who squeeze and reach,
Who fume and fret;
A million buyers crowding through
a million others
Just like you.
Say,
That's no way
To get a hop
For the Christmas shop.

PLENTY OF BILLS IN SIGHT
Those introduced Opening Day Tues

the Solons Busy.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-The primary law
is to be the first proposition taken UP
by the extra session of the Illinois
legislature. Word went around yes
terday that all hands want to get it
settled before business begins upon
the rest of the propositions enumera-
ted in Governor Deneen's call
There will be enough bills at the
opening of the sessions next Tuesday
to furnish the legislators with all the
work they are likely to want.
For State Wide Law.
The democratic side. evidently, is to
stand pat for straight-away direct
primary law which will be exactly
what it says it wants to be, direct
in many convention pronunciamentoes
for the simon pure variety, and the
leaders believe they will play good
politics by sticking out for a blanket
law, practically the old Oglesby law.
Representative Lee O'Neil Browne
of La Sale county is formulating the
bill, which will bear the support of
most of the democratic side. He says
it will be ready for introduction into
the house on Tuesday.
A flock of downstate legislators are
due to arrive in Chicago tomorrow for
a preliminary roundup of the forces.
Most of these who will get into town
will make their way to the Office of
Speaker Shurtleff and there have a
heart to heart talk with the man with

DEATH OF MINER
 EXTREMELY PuzzlIMG
Piece of Radium Ore Causes Slight
 Wound That Proves Fatal.

London, August 1S-The death of a radium miner named Osborne. at St. Austell. Cornwall. has puzzled four doctors to certify the cause of death.
 While Osborne was working in the mine a piece of rock containing uran- ium fell on the back of his hand, graz ing the skin and causing wound about half an inch in diameter. The man at the time was working knee deep in the, mineral water which flows from the rocks. Since last December he has been i'll. and he has just sue. cumbed to the mysterious malady which defied the efforts of the doctors to verify.
 The jury returned a verdict of blood poisoning. but post-mortem was af terward made, to satisfy the rela tiyes. and an analysis also is to be made.

The feAure of the New York list was the heavy selling in Union Pacific, selling from 21l I.2 to 2ee 1-2 In the copper shares there was heavy selling in kmalgamated, North Butte sold down to 56, Copper Range to ST L2. Sup erior and Pitsburg and Greene Can anea were inclined to be weak, but would advise buying Superior and

GOVERNMENT EXAMINES INTO

Special to Review)

Tombstone. Aug. l9.--The United States government evidently intends to put a stop to the practice of mining claim owners. subdiy:ding their clainls into town lots and disposing of them before they have obtained a patent for them
 Applications of a number of claim owners in the Courtland and and Tur- cuoise districts have been held up pending an examination by the oii.- cials of the law department
 On claims where there have been lots leased or disposed of the goyerL- ment is making a most thorough ir- restigation of the matters The for est reserve rangers of the Dragoon reserve have made report on those claims that lie within the forest re serve which takes in the larger DOT tion of the Torquoise and Courtland districts and besides this two or three different officials of the land depart NiNAb navy bttti tuk ONtt tAlt var sst7t claims and made a number of reports on the findings. The matter does not stop there but officials have been sent to this city to make a thorough search over the records and copies of every transfer, lease, etc. in any way affecting the claims will be to- warded the department. The investi gstion not only goes to claims on which an application has been made but to claims where the final receip; has been issued and even the patent granted. The government has the right, according to jaw, to bring suit to cancel the patent where any eyi- dence of fraud is found within six years after it has been granted.
 Officials investigate.
 The government had number of officials making investigations of the claims that were included in the War ren townsite' just after that townslte was thrown on the market and for number of months had agents going

NOW SHIPS ORE
 ] ALLY

Courtiand. Aug. ie-The first ship ment of copper ore was sent to out O. Courtland over the Mexico and Colo rado railroad to Douglas, and thence over the Fl Paso and Southeastern to Fl Paso. leaving here Tuesday. Tn first shipment included two car loads and two were made the next day anG two the next and there is call for this amQnt from now on from the Mary. whence the first shipment was made.
 As stated iR the Times last week, 1t was expected that the first ship ment would be made from the Hum
 bolt shaft of the Great Western Cop per company. but the company was not in a position to ship from the ore dump. The switch leading in from the Leadville spur of the M. and c. in the meantime was completed, and two steel cars was placed there and as stated the first two care went out of the camp to the El Paso shelter on Tuesday.
 The six cars shipped were all loaded from the dump al the Mary mine of the Great Western, but prepara- tions have been making underground to continue the shipments by stop ing.
 The Germania shaft of the Calu- ment and Arizona was closed down during the week while the heavy re- pairs and installing of oil burning boiler and another pump is going on. The Germania has fine body of ore blocked out adjoining the boundary lines of the Mary shaft, and can ship as soon as a switch is laid in.
 Three shifts of miners are now em- ployed at all the mines where devel- opment operations are going on, the shifts working three hours each. The call for ore at Fl Paso. where the Courtland carbonates are in demand for fiuxing purposes, makes 1t certain that the population of the camp will be largely increased during the next three months, and the need for homes for the miners and other employees is bound to grow daily.
 George A. Arnold, manager of the Calumet and Arizona mines. was out of the camp on business for the com pany during part of last week. This company Is devoting its energies to- wards the installation of machinery at the plants.
