 ON GOLD MINING
Published september 27. 1so,

Published September 27, 1908.
 ''The production of the precious metals, especially of gold, has been greatly stimulated by the business depression of the past year. There are now about 4000 mines in the United States that are producing gold as their principal product, over 400 of which rate well as pro- ducers. As a proof of the pro- gressive activity in this industry, it is stated that there are now out standing thrilled contracts for gold mining machinery aggregating $9,- 000,000. North America is now pro- ducing almost one-third of the worlds gold, and 80 per cent of it's silver. The worlds gold produc- ton is now running above S410,- 000,000 a year, having more than doubled in the past decade This increase is due mainly to inven- tions and improvements that have made practicable and profitable the working of ores once consid- cred too low in values for profit able development. Statlsticians fig- ure that more gold has been pro- duced since 1900 than the aggregate production for the previous 40 years. Under modern methods it is possible to get dollars worth of gold for about half the expendi- ture of energy and money neces- sary for it's production a few years ago.
 This tells the story of what is go- ing on in the mining world today. The enormous increase in gold pro- duction being the result of recent Improvements in mining machinery, the development of cheap electric power and the economies effected by operating on large scale.
 In line with these latest tenden- cies in mining practice the Cali. fornia Consolidated Mines Co. has effected the merger of a number of the most extensive and produc- tive gold mines in California, and is financing the enterprise by the sale of 10-year 6 per cent gold bonds. These bonds, amounting to $1, 1,250,000, are secured by gold now in sight in the company's holdings, and which can be extracted at profit exceeding s9,000,000. With the bonds investors receive a stock bonus equal to the face of the bonds purchased, and participate in every dollar of profit realized
 The International Trust Co. of Boston, Mass, capital $5,00O,000, is trustee for bondholders, so that their interests are most carefully protected.
 It will pay you to investigate this propositio nwithout delay as I have but limited amount of bonds to offer to the public, and the stock bonus will soon be cut to 50 per cent.

 Welcome to the President.

| The mass meeting of citizens Tues
 day evening at the opera house for
 the purpose of planning for the en- tertainment of President Taft upon his vlsit here next Wednesday was well attended and a pleasing interest was
 manifested in all the proceedings of the meeting.
 Mayor Dimes called the meeting to
 order and J. O. Mullen was elected
 secretary President A. J. Matthews
 Of. the, Normal was the first speaker.
 He dwett upon the honor that would
 be conferred upon Tempe by the visit
 of the president, for Tempe was. one
 of the few towns of it's size on the
 presidents itinerary that would be
 thusly favored. He urged that every
 thing possible be done to make MT
 Taft feel that his short visit was be-
 ing appreciated.
 Getting down to the business of
 planning for the day. Prof F. NJ. Irish
 of the Normal was appointed marshal of the day. He was empowered to choose such assistants as the circum- stances and conditions might demand.
 A committee was appointed to pro- vide decorations, banners. flags, etc, for the students assembled. The mem bers thereof are the following named: Prof Matthews. Supt Scudder, Prof. Sullivan. pr. Bolton,- and Frank Dykes. the last named being the principal of the Alma school, for it is intended that the ont of town schools shall also participate in the welcoming of the president
 ! The secretary was instructed Co ex- tend 10 the schools of Mesa an in- to >be present here on that day in body and join with the Tempe It is expected that the in will be accepted and if it is. 1t can safely be predicted that there will be 150e students lined up at the depot when Mir. Taft arrives. Just how 1t will be arranged so that all may see and hear the president is left to the able management of Prof | Irish. In addition to the students of tbe Mesa and Tempe schools the pu- pills of the various rural schools are urged to be present. This gathering l of students, together with the people | of Tempe and Mesa, who will no doubt | be present. will swell the total up into | the thousands. There will be no school in the afternoon and 1t is pre- sumed the business houses will be l closed during the time MT. Taft is | at the depot.
 At just what time Mir. Taft will | arrive here will have to be announced | at a later date. It is thought. though. | that the president will make a few | to the gathered throng, but | aside from, that there will be no sci | program. It will of course be impos sible for any one to shake hands with | the president.

With the close of February the open
season for killing rabbits, squirrels,
fisher, martin or mink came to an

time came the closed season for catch
ing bass of any variety, pike, pickerel,
muskallonge, sturgeon or game fish OF

except whitefish or lake trout, during
the closed season, even if they be
caught in another state. is subject to a

keeper who shall serve to his guests
any such fish is liable to like fine.
The open season for catching brook
trout will begin April 10 Ind ED Sept
/. The open season for other game
fish begins May 25.
Last spring several of our meat mar
kets sold game fish after March /, not
with the intention of violating the law.
but rather through ignorance of the law
The local game warden, learning the
conditions, did not feel like prosecuting
them, and as soon as he called their at
tention to the law no more such fish
was sold by them.

A ROMANCE.

A story bordering on the romance
order comes from Allentown, Pa, re-
garding man employed by the Wau-
sau Paper Mills Co. The man is Uriah
Eichelberger He was once prosper
Gus business man of Allentown, but
through a combination of circumstances
is reduced to the laboring class. 10
the year 1865, Eichelberger was elected
sea.er of weights and measures in Allen
town, city of about 40, 900 0people. He
served two years and at the same time
conducted prosperous business. Two
years later he was candidate for re-
election, but was defeated. His defeat
shows what the game of politics does
with some men. Worrying over his
loss of office he suddenly disappeared
from home There were circumstances
connected with his disappearance which
tended to show that he was dead, and
he was legally declared dead by the
probate court.
After leaving home he squandered
what little money he had and not feel
ing like drawing on the income from his
business, ne soon found himself in want
and was forced to drift back into man
uai labor. He sought the paper mills
of Wisconsin and about seven years
ago he found employment with the
Wausau Paper mills Co. in Brokaw,
He has worked with that company ever
since.
Mr.. Eichelberger came to this country
in the sos and when the civil war broke
out be enlisted in Pennsylvania regi-
ment. Recently his wife applied for a
pension, believing him, as he had been
declared, dead When the papers
reached Washington, the pension bur-
eau informed her that her husband was
at present located in Drokaw and was
drawing pension.
He left home nearly twelve years ago
and was declared dead. His resurrec-

WANT STREET OPENED.

A petition is being circulated for
names asking the city council to extend
Garfield street south to cemetery. The
petition says, "We understand that the
owners of property, through which said
proposed extension of said street would
run, are willing to give the city the
right-of-way, if necessary. We call the
attention of the council to the fact that
in view Of the heavy traffic on Grand
Ave-, taken in connection with the car
line, it is necessary and advisable that
this street be extended so as to relieve
travel on Grand Ave"
During the last city administration
land was purchased and Canal street
was opened northward to connect with
Mcintosh. The e. & n. w. Ry. Co.
was notified to build bridge across its
cut near where Single Ave. crosses and
agreed to do so, but up to the present
the bridge has never been built for
some reason. If the bridge were built,
funeral professions could now reach
the cemetery by that route, instead of
travelling Grand Ave. 1t is route that
must be opened sooner or later, and it
should be done before some accident
occurs on Grand Ave.
We understand that residents living
in the vicinity of Wausau Jet. and the
cemetery desire to get roadway out
to Grand Ave, leading along the north
side of the cemetery. The road at pres
ent extends from the railway track to
within one block of the avenue. These
residents, we learn, will make an en-
deavor to have it extended.
