WATER FAMINE IN
 MINING REGION Drouth Has Become Serious In Part of Pennsylvania COMPANIES HAUL WATER One Mining Concern Is Paying Out About $1,ooo Day For Hauling
 Water and For Use of the
 Tank Cars.

Pittsburg, December 11-(Speciai J. Lack of rainfall in the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania is costing the coal companies thousands of dollars day. The drouth has become so se- rious that many of the operators are reduced to the necessity of using the sulphurous mine water in their boilers a step they would never take except in the last extremity. It is the oollieries in the Lehish and Schuylkill fields that are suffering most. the Wyoming fields to the north having the SusQuehanna river to fall back upon in such an emer- gency.
 This is the second drouth within lft- with the operation of the coilieries. and 1t has proved even more costly than the one in the fall of 1908.
 s. D. warriner, vice president and general manager of the Lehigh Valley Coal company. said today:
 Probably few outsiders understand how serious a condition confronts the anthracite mining companies on account of the scarcity of water and the condi- ton is becoming more serious every day the drouth lasts. Our company Is haul ing on railroad cars million gallons of water . day to It's various collieries in the Lehigh region. Besides paytng for the water and the transportation of 1t we have to pay . dollar a Jay for every tank car we borrow from tho oil companies.
 'T should say $1000 day is con- servative estimate of what tho drouth is costing our company alone, and this company is only one O. the sufferers There are others that are having still harder time.'
 The Susquehanna and its allied com panies are treating the mine water with chemicals to counteraot the deadly riop- critics of the sulphuric acid and arc us- ing 1t In their boilers. Despite ths treat nent however, this water Is necessarily injurious to the iron How much the damage will amount to cannot be told until the drouth 10 past and the com- panies have made thorough examin- ation of their equipment
 The Philadelphia and Reading, in the Schuylldl region to the south, Is per haps suffering more from the water fam inc than any other company. It h Laul- ing millions of gallons of water day. up and down mountains, in order to sup ply it's collieries and keep its employees at work It Is also laying pipe lines many miles in leus-h in tho endesvor to establish a ,wator supply system that will save 1t from the great soss which every drouth brings about.

PROPER ADDRESSES
 FACILITATE SERVICE
Greater Efficiency in Delivery of Mail May Be Easily Secured.

For those who desire prompt deliv- cry of their mail it is now more than ever necessary that the addresses should be complete with street and number. even if one be an old and well known citizen.
 As heretofore explained, most of the mail from the south is sorted for city distribution by the postal clerk between Maricopa and Phoenix, so it is ready to turn over to the carrier as soon as it arrives in town. Formerly the sort ing was nearly all done by the dis tribution clerk in the office, who is always on duty, and knows everybody, or as near it as one person can. He could distribute half the mail without any address except the name.
 But with the railway service it is different. The postal clerks are chang ed frequently, and there are three of them who alternate on the run, liable anytime to be sent anywhere. It is easy to comprehend that a new clerk or even an old one with lot to do be- sides studying the names of people, cannot know everybody and just where he lives. He has a schedule of the NAbg NlNli NhlNll ilt IS ldllliiidi anu dli letters bearing street and number are thrown accordingly. He also throws the mail of well known firms and in dividuals he may happen to know. The rest is dumped into the office for dis tribution and consequent delay. The service is better now than ever be- fore, but its efficiency can be still i'm proved if the incoming letters are fully and accurately directed. Only mail for the transients and new people will then be turned in for local distribution, and much time can be saved.

LET US SEE THAT SCENERY.
 A correspondent of the Globe Silver Belt writes that along a section of the proposed extension of the Phoe- nix X Eastern to San Carlos the seen cry is so grand and wild that it riv- is probably true, but whether it is or not, we hope that the Southern Pa cific will give us an opportunity to see it soon. We are interested in scenery somewhat but the people of this valley are much more intensely interested in the early completion of that road, for other than scenic req sons.
 Though there is, we understand, lit tie impressive scenery between Parker and Bengal We are also interested in the early construction of that link in the route by which Phoenix is to be promoted to the position of a main line point. We are encouraged though to believe that that link will be sup piled shortly; that construction of the A X C. extension will be begun early next fall.
 But for main line purposes that link would not be at all effective un- less we should have that other link connecting the present end of the P. & F. track with San Carlos.
 When this is accomplished the most of our grievances will have been met

In view of the fact that Judge Snider is a defendant in a federal action at Kansas City, the Bisbee Miner thinks it was fortunate thing that he was defeated last fall for as semblyman from Pinal county. Talk ing no notice of the fact that Judge Snider is not yet a proved offender, we may say it was a good thing to defeat every democratic candidate, in which respect taking things by and large, Arizona was not very fortunate on election day.
