By authority of the Arizona Teach CTS Association, F. D. Smith, B. R. Dennis and J. B. Jolly, the committee has Iuade a selection of two books to be used for reading by Arizona teach CTS during 1910
 These are Chamberlain's Stand ards in Education" and Aliens 'Civics and Health" The first named is admirably adapted to Reading Circle work, each chapter having an excel lent synopsis and suggestive list of topics. It cannot fail to arouse thought and provoke discussion in any teachers meeting where it is consider ed. The second book is a most remark able work. Already it has been adoLt- e hy eleven State Reading Circles. It treats of sub e Of vital impo. t. ace, and it's treatment is such as o make its teaching immediately ap- plicable in both school and home.

 The compilation is work of even authors and comprises 3l4 page Comparisons are made with the pro- duction of 1907 by States, and the statistics include the production by counties and districts. Record is made of mining conditions and new devel- opments at many places.

A Big Dividend.

A special dispatch received by Pol lock & Co.,, of Salt Lake, Wednesday last, said a rumor is circulating in Boston to the effect that the Inter- national Smelling & Refining company will pay dividend of s per cent on its stock next month.
 This shows the company on an ex- cellent basis in spite of the large amount of work that is being done. The dividend will mean the diSburse- ment of SOO,OOOS. The International k incorporated for 50,000.O but only 10,0O0, ,000S of the stock has been issued. Wuh the excellent showing that the company has been making since it purchased the Raritan refinery it looks most probable that the work now being done is only the beginning of the enormous plans the Cole-Ryan pPnple have in view.-Salt Lake Mining Review.

planned, with four properties using the tunnel, not less than 10000 tons per day of ore could be readily handled.
 The ore bins at the tunnel level, in the Ohio, are 165 it. long and have 64 gates. Their capacity is 4OO0 tons. The tunnel aC the bins is double track ed. Everything is arranged for the rapid loading of cars, and while the loaded train is on its way to the mill, a train of empties having been pre- viously set, is being loaded.
 In the continuation of the tunnel t' its proposed terminus, near Tooele City, the great depth attained as il passes through the well-knOwn prop critics will be noted. It is interesting to contemplate what might be shown at these depths. At the present depth attained in the Ohio by the tunnel, ore is shown, for in the face of the tunnel, which is in the porphyry, ore carrying l.6 per cent. copper is dis closed.-W. s.

The Buno's Usefulness to the Mine
 in Mexico

The transportation facilities in many parts of Mexico are still very costly and the methods, in many places, are very crude. In some parts, the trans portation of merchandise and machu- cry IS carried CD by the Use of OK ,aIts although in western Mexico, where [, e mining industry is extensive, the Mexican burro is a most importan factor and is preferred because of it's being a swIfter carrier and safer car rier and safer in the dangerous moun- tain passes.
 Thus the traffic between the rai'- road stations and the interior poin' S is largely handled by burro transp, = tation. These little animals are worln from I2.5OS to 20S each, United States currency. They average about , q pounds in weight. and will car weights up to 300 pounds, travelins from 20 to 40 miles a day, according tu the condition of the country.
 The class of machinery used in these mining countries is often specially built to suit the mode of tranSporta- tiOn, and in order to transport by sin gle burros must be designed and butt to allow for dismanIling, so as to form load of moderate weight for these animals to carry.
 Certain types of American mine pumps, for instance, have been devel- oped to meet the requirements ofcrude transportation, over the mountain pas ses and terraced ranges of our own country and old Mexico, Colum bia, Peru and Chilli, as well as into other mining regions of Central and South America.
 These types of mine pumps are SD c ially constructed for the heavy work and rough service they are usually subjected to in mining work. They are built in sections, the parts being 50 designed and proportional that the pumps can be taken apart at the bolted joints and packed for shipment.
 The majority of pieces weigh less than l50 pounds, while the maximum weight, 300 pounds, is rarely found in fact, only in the large sizes. The parts are so arranged and marked that they can be assembled rapidly and the pump set up without the aid of a skill led mechanic; and every pump before it leaves the works is thoroughly test ed to a degree far in excess of its rated capacity.
 Shipments destined for long jour neys are arranged for convenient han ding and strongly and securely boxed, because of the numerous transfers of freight in steamship and railroad traf- fic before they reach their ultimate destination. The arrangements for mule back transportation must usually be made at some convenient station, on the line of railroad or other car rier, the cost of transporting the ma terial by burro train varying in pro- portion to the distance to be tra- v-rsed, scarcity of animals, and the character and conditions of the coun- try.
 Where the mountain passes to be traversed are narrow and dangerous the loads are lighted as much as pos i sible; oftentimes the boxes may be miscarried and the machinery fastened | on the back of the mule or carried in | bags. It is sometimes necessary, when ]

 But subsequent developments justi- fled Mir.
