future as they are doing today. He
urged statehood for the territory, en-
phasizing the fact that Arizona pro-
duced more mineral than any other
state. 1--WE should therefore have a
star in the flag" he said.
E. H. Benjamin of San Francisco, re-
spending for California, said that 1t
was due to the miners of the early
days in California that mining was
permitted to advance throughout the
nation and the world. He held that
mining had reached its present state
of excellent development through the
good work started by the California
pioneers. Mr.. Benjamin made a
strong point of the fact that the Cali
fornia mining engineers had paved
the way after the miner Of early
days, for the vast development Of the
great mineral resources of the world,
Including the mines of South Africa.
David Ross of Illinois told of the
wonderful resources of the coal region
of his state, advancing the theory of
INSTRUMENTATION. He said that it
took both strength, honesty and cor
ruption in Illinois to bring the state
to the present stage Of development.
"The states of the west are talking
about how big they will be some day"
said Mr. Ross. IT wish to say for my
state that Illinois has arrived, L am
an intelligent conservationist. and ]
feel sure we are in no danger of
starvation. We should utilize our re-
sources by development and not bottle
them up" aAIzliaI
NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
In speaking of the Illinois coal re-
gion Mr. Ross said the Illinois mines
boo AA
there were in the ground at the be-
ginning of mining in Illinois about
200, 900 900 tons, of which only about
1888, 600 900 tons had been mined. He
said there had been to date about
s, 900, 500, 900 tons consumed in the Unit
ed States and that there was enough
left in Illinois alone to supply the ma
tion's needs for 999 years. Therefore,
in Mr.. Ross opinion, there is no cause
for worry on the part of those advance
ing policies of conservation. Mr.. Ross
Judging from his remarks, would leave
many to believe that he had never
heard of California oil, for he said the
nation could not get along without
this coal. The California oil men say
they can supply the nation with fuel
for many years to come from their oil
wells.
]. M. Malcomson of Missouri spoke
of the production IN the state Wnere

the production from their low grade
lead and zinc mines had greatly in
creased of late years and that Mis-
souri, led the world in the production

eighth of mile in 20 years.

then a small boy, found a tortoise on
the farm of his father in Ohio town

back. He turned it loose and the in
cident was forgotten. A few days ago
Everett Sprague, a local school teach
er and a brother of the man who
carved the tortoise, was walking
about the farm, when he ran across
the tortoise and examined its back.
The initials were as plain as the day

origin of Tommy Atkins.

1t is a popular notion that the name
Tommy Atkins as the sobriquet Of
the British soldier is peculiarly the
idea of Rudyard Kipling, than which
nothing could be farther from the
truth, although 1t is not to be denied
that Mr.. Kipling, more than anybody
else, has made the nickname famous.
AS a matter of fact, the name orig
mattel with the British war Office is
suing pocket manuals, in which the
soldiers name, age, date of enlist
ment, term of service and other de-
tails were entered. The method of fill
ing in the form was explained by the
employment of fictitious name, and
instead of the legal John Doe" or
"Sichard Roe" the combination
Thomas Atkins" was adopted. From
this circumstance the name came to
be applied to the soldier as a type,
very much as during our Civil war the
Confederates were commonly ad-
dressed by their Union opponents as
johnnie Reb."
