PORTER DIDN'T KNOW ONE MANS GRIPS FROM ANOTHER
With His Own and Another's Baggage.

Wilfred Kirk and T. c. Brown have been sharing a room at the Com mercial hotel for some time It was chance acquaintance which brought them together, yet that acquaintance quickly grew into friendship. But the time for parting came yesterday. Kirk had business which called him down into old Mexico and he decided to make the trip by easy stages, go- ing first to Tucson and later continu- ing on down into the DIaz republic.
 Preparatory to going Kirk visited about the greater part of the local thirst emporiums yesterday afternoon, with the result, it is said, that he really didn't mind whether he went to Tucson or any other place. But the train time finally came and the man hustled aboard the bus, while the porter was given instructions to get Kirks baggage from the room. Not realizing that there might be oth- CT baggage in the room. the porter gathered up everything in sight and saw that it was checked for Kirk.
 When Brown visited his room little later he found 1t swept of every thing, including suit case, serge coat and some other apparel which belonged to him. And that is why the chief of police at TLcson received a telephone c2ll from. Phoenix last evening asking that he watch out for Kirk and help him to sort out his (Kirl<'s) baggage from that which rightfully belongs to. Brown. Brown says he does not impute any criminal

Judge Dunn said, in giving the opinion, that the Constitution of Illinois guaranteed to all citizens the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, but that "one does not enjoy the free exercise of religious worship who is compelled to join in any form of religious worship"

The asperities of the season are somewhat softened by the Gazette's telegraph service. While The Re publican censor of this fake service is doing his best to persuade the Gazette In the interest of its own readers to suppress it, the censor hopes within his innermost self that his efforts will prove unsuccessful until Phoenix and vicinity is assured of something equal ly entertaining and amusing to take its place The suppression of the Gazettes telegraph" service would rob the world of much gayety.

 "Ordinary laborers are paid 85c. to $l00 gold per day, engineers $1.25 and foremen $l.50 for nine hours work. While the men are steady, faithful workers, their efficiency is said not to be equal to that of miners in the United States. However, American miners taken into this region are said to find it { ssiSff8fitu{tI z si tto work With the same brjskness that they do in the United States.
 "The graphite is hauled from the mine to La Colorado by mule teams composed of from ten to fourteen mules. The mules do not look much larger than St. Bernard dogs and actually do not weigh over five hundred to six hundred pounds each, but are extremely tough and hardy and can do much more work than would be supposed by one used to the larger animals of more temperate climes.
 "The securing of a sufficient sup ply of water for use of the mine, laborers and stock has been one of the difficulties to be overcome Wells have been sunk in granite at several points within half mile of the headquarters house and water is pumped to tank by gasoline engines. The miners families are allowed ten gallons per day for each family, and this is doled out each morning to the boys and wo- men who carry it away in five gal. lon kerosene cans.
 "The graphite from the Santa Maria mines is shipped to Saginaw Michigan, for treatment, where it is ground and separated by means of air Notation and betting. Some of the best pencils in the world

such as the Koh-i-noor made by Hardtmuths in Austria, and nearly, if not all, of the better American pencils are made from it. The pencil trade, however, while taking the very finest grades of amorphous graphite, does not use a great quantity The coating of gun powder takes other small quan- titles of good graphite. Much the larger use is in the manufacture of lubricants for which purpose the graphite must be very pure and free from grit, and the product of these mines has met with great success in this field. A larger ton mage is consumed also in the manu- facture of paint, foundry facing, stove polish, etc."

 After being raised to the sur face the graphite is spread out in the hot sun to dry, which it does in a short time, and then is thrown up in piles to await shipment.
 "The north shaft is stated is about seven hundred feet northeast of the headquarters house. It is at the base of the hill upon which the house is built and is sunk at an angle about seventy-two degrees to the northwest. The shaft is one hundred and forty-two feet deep with levels fifty feet apart on which drifts are run to the northeast and southwest to cut on the graphite beds each side of the shaft. An air shaft gives the work ings better ventilation than those of the west shaft, so the mine is much cooler.
 "The country rock is the same in the west shaft, but in the rock are developed many more small andalusite crystals than were noted in the west workings, though this may be only apparent. The pres ence of the andalusite shows that the metamorphosed rock contains a considerable amount of alumina and was therefore clayey. On the northeast side of the shaft the first graphite bed cut was about twenty feet, the second one hundred and thirty feet from the shaft. On the southwest side of the shaft the beds are cut at distance of twenty, sixty. five and two hundred and forty feet from the shaft. The best of the six is the second on the northeast. This produces excellent graphite and reaches five feet in thickness but is in most places thinner. It is being actively mined. The first bed is also of good quality but reaches only about eighteen inches in thickness and is in most places much thinner. The third bed on the north is from two to four feet wide. The graphite is not as pure as the second vein or that mined in the west shaft, and material taken from il is kept separate. It is we'll adapted for the cOarser uses of graphite. On the west side of the shaft the veins are two feet, one foot, and eighteen inches respectively, in thickness. The last-that is the third from the shaft-is of very good quality.
 The veins are all more nearly vertical than the ones mined at the west shaft and are approximately parallel. Their strike is a little west of north. It is probable that none of them are the same vein al that being worked in the west shaft NO definite opinion can be given or tnls as the limited time at my dis poSal did not permit sufficient ex animation to work out details 0 structure.

or to later impregnation of the beds. In other places the wall rock has been bleached until so white as to contrast strongly with the black graphite of the bed. Such an occurrence is in the third bed northeast of the north shaft.
 "No graphite beds similar to those of New York, Canada or Cey lon have been noted.
 "The first work done uppn tbe i property was at the bottom of the hill about four hundred feet directly east of the headquarters house. Here an outcrop of graphite was worked by both an incline and drifts. The workings caved badly during a period in which the mines were not worked, and it was not found feasible to open them again so new workings have been started. Excellent graphite was obtained from this bed and the company ex- poets to work itagain. An effort was made to run drift from the north shaft to connect with the old work ing but it was found unsafe owing to the shattered condition of the sandstone.

 It seems probable that the graph ite deposits in various parts of the world have been formed in a mum. Der of different ways and the de- rivation of some of them is not clear. At the Santa Maria deposits however, the origin appears to be perfectly plain. The bedding of the deposits with altered sandstone and shale in an approximately parallel series of seven graphite members; the lenticular inclusions of sandy material common in coal beds; the finely parallel structure like bedding planes in some pieces of graphite; the large area over which the same or similar beds are found; and the different phases of graphite, anthracite, coke and coal found at various localities in what seem to be parts of the same beds, leave no doubt that the deposits
 have been formed from coal beds. The unlikeness in quality and thickness of the various beds is a common characteristic in parallel coal seams.
 "The cause of the change from coal to graphite was evidently the granite which is intruded into both the sandstones and graphite beds, l and forms the country rock over a , considerable area. In places it is { the wall rock and granite dykes cut through the beds of graphite {, At the time of the intrusion of the , granite the rocks were necessarily F greatly deformed.

THE GREAT TAX INCREASE.

Complaints are made in the western part of the state that the action of the state board of equalization only adds to the injustice of our present tax sys- tenn instead of making it any more equitable, and that these large addi- tions made after the taxes have been levied for the year not only add per manently to the towns expenses but will force upon quite a number of towns a floating debt. Were the work of tax equalization in Bridgeport fully completed" says The Farmer, the increased burden would be equita- bly distributed but it is not Homes and mercantile business are still listed at full value, while some other classes Of taxable property are not Each in crease in the tax rate, to meet the state tax, augments the injustice to the full-valHe assessments: these tax payers are compelled to shoulder more than their fair share of the burden.
 Tax equalization should be pushed to an early completion in order to end this obvious injustice If there must be inequalities of assessment they should favor. instead of operating against, the owners of homes'
 The Stamford Advocate says with reference to the seven and a half millions added to that city:
 As to the effect of the increase. two things may be pertinently said One or them is that blanket increase is necessarily an added injustice to the taxpayer whose property is listed at larger proportion of it's actual value than that of others. The majority of the taxpayers, meaning, for the most part, owners of dwellings. are again subjected to unfairness. The other point which is in mind just now is that the announcement of a revision or the grand lists of the various towns of the state comes after every one of them has determined it's tax rate for this year, including in the budget. as appropriations for state and county taxes, an amount based upon the grand list as returned by the assessors and boards of relief. No provision has been made whereby a larger sum can be paid to the state out of the ordi- nary income, and the selectmen will probably have to make addition to the Heating debt of the town''

HAMILToN,s EXPERIENCES.

Charles K Hamilton did not get to be great aviator without facing peril many times. This Napoleon of the air only weighs no pounds and in his experiments with the gliding box which preceded the aeroplane he fell no less than 63 times, and although a man of many midair mishaps he has never been seriously hurt once. He had a drop at Paterson, N. J., of nearly TWO miles in a burst balloon, and had not the torn and emptied gasbag taken have been dashed to pieces The eel eorated glide by which he now startles spectators was discovered by the break ing of the motor shaft of his aeroplane one day when he was at a perilous height. He realized immediately that al soon as he lost momentum he must drop. With that almost sixth sensS seemingly possessed by men who nav igate the air, he instantly deflected his forward planes and shot toward the earth at a sharp angle, gaining in- stead of losing momentum as he went. Near the earth he threw the forward planes up again, rose gracefully and then settled to earth without a jar. He had discovered the glide.
 He is always cool and masterful and has never failed to do the right thing in moments of peril. A less resource ful man would have been killed, but he promises to live to yet perform skill ful feats in the way of air travelling.

MILLIONS IN ciRcusEs.

Millions have been made and mil lions lost in circuses. F. T. Barnum was the great pioneer in this field. Long after he entered the show busi- ness he belonged to the dinner pail brigade, but at the end of busy life he teft $3,000,000. His partners, James A. Bailey and James L. Hutchinson, each left more than million Adam Forepaugh died very rich. The Sells Brothers built up a fortune of several millions and left large estates. But there is record in modern circus annals, which can equal that of the RingIings. Thirty years ago, these five brothers had a few horses, a few dens of animals, and furnished the music themselves. Today they own the three greatest circuses the one which bears their name, the Barnum & Bai- ley show and the Sells -Forepaugh cir GUS, and dominate the business. These three eircuses represent a total in- vestment of approximately $S,0O0, 900.
 The Newburyport News is right when it says that we all enjoy the circus; that we stand and gape at the lions and tigers. we are amused at the monkeys, and we try our luck in throwing peanuts at the elephants. The clowns have a perennial fascina- ton, as do also the chariot races and the sensational performances on the trapeze. It isn't necessary at all for a man or woman to apologize for go- ing, and. to say that it is on account of the children. We all understand the situation and~ smile with approval even on the best Sdeacon of them all There is nothing to take the place of the circus, and he who has missed it has missed a part of his life''

Quite likely the day might have been a hard one any way but if we had been a little more thoughtful, provident and faithful would the remissness of other peo- have always noticed that the things things in which I myself am most days my tendency is to be especially self. But if by chance, after honest self examination, we find the trouble is chiefly outside of ourselves, then let us summon up our reserves of pa tience and fortitude and refuse to be thrown off our balance even by a criss-cross day. Let us try to say with the poet Henley:
 Out of the night that covers me
 Dark as the pit from pole to pole thank whatever God there be
 For my unconquera bie soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance
 I have not winced nor cried aloud, Under the bludgeonings of chance
 My head is bloody, yet unbowed.
 This is admirable organism. but we ought to go one step further. The Christian religion is given us as a solace and inspiration for criss-cross days. Give it, then, chance to re- strain and refresh you.
