$3OO,OOO Addition to Shelter.

Work has started at the Fl Paso shelter for the installation of two reVerberatory furnaces for the smelt- ing of copper concentrates, which will make the Fl Paso shelter one of the biggest copper smelters in the country. The Improvements to the shelter will cost $500, 900 and will in crease the output of the plant by 800 tons of blister copper per day. A force of 50 men will be employed in the construction of the new furnaces and installing the necessary mach inery for their operation. When completed, the extension to the shelter will employ from 50 to 100 additional men.
 The enlargement of the Fl Paso shelter, which is one of the proper ties of the American Smelling and Refining company, was made possible by the closing of contracts for smelt ing the concentrates of a. number of large copper producing mines in Ari- zona and New Mexico. These are said to be the Ray Consolidated of Arizona and the Chino Copper com pany of New Mexico. The American Smelling company has closed long term contracts with. these mining companies for smelling their concen- trates, and it was necessary to en- large the Fl Paso plant to handle the increased business.

Wilson Makes Report for Year

Nothing short of omniscience can grasp the value of the farm products of this year, is the statement of the Secretary of Agriculture in his an- nual report for 1910. At no time in the worlds history has a country produced farm products within one year with a value reaching S8, ,926, ,OOO,- 900, which is the value of the agricul- tural products of this country for 1910. The value of farm products from 1899 to the present year has been progressive without interrup- tion. If the value of the products of 1899 is placed at 100, the value of this year is 189, or almost double the value for the census year eleven years ago.
 The corn crop of 3,121, ,38l ,000 bush els exceeds that of the record year 1906 and is greater than the average crop of the preceding five years by 14 per cent. While the value of this 1908, its amount belongs to stories of magic. It can hardly be reckone5 as less than S1, 800, ,OOO,O 900, a sum suffi- cient to cancel the interest bearing debt of the United States, by all of the gold and silver mined in all of the countries ot the earth in 1909, and still leave the farmers a little pocket money.
 of he 1S together worth only three-fourths as much as that crop. The great allied iron and steel industries had, in the latest census year for which results have been published, 1904. a produc- tion worth only 60 per cent of the value of this years corn crop.
 The cotton crop of this year may be worth in lint and seed a round S9OO, 100000 at the farm, or more than the corn crop was worth in any year prior to 1901. This value is Is per cent. above the five-year average of the preceding five years.
 Fortunately the wheat crop is di- vided into two sowings, autumn and spring, so that the two crops are sub- ject to different climatic accidents, as was the case this year. The pro- duction of spring and winter wheat is 691, 767 ,OOO bushels, or substantially the average of the preceding five years, whereas the value is about S625, ,OOO,O 1000, or per cent. above the fve-y ear average.

ROBBERY AT GURHRIE JUNCTION
 H. C. DAYS STORE HELD UP
RObber Enters Store al 6 O'clock Tues day and Demands and
 Gets Cash

Shortly after the A. X N. M. pas senger had left Guthrie Junction, II miles below Clifton, and darkness and quiet had settled over the little sta tion, man walked into the saloon and store of H. c. Day, and present. ing pistol at the head of the pro- prietor and told him to hand over all the money in the house and be quick about it. MT. Day hesitated, where upon the highwayman remarked that he would blow his brains out and take it anyway, as he kne0 where it was He marched MT. Day about the store and made him gather up the money from different hiding places.
 After receiving a large amount, some say as much as $500, he then made MT. Day march down the steps 1 of the store and across the tracks, where two horses were tied and where an accomplice was in waiting, armed to the teeth. The two men mounted their horses and rode away in. the moonlight at rapid pace.
 MT. Day hurried to the station, calling to MT. Brown, operator and station agent, to notify Clifton. The ; operator worked the keys, but there was no answer to his hurry-up call. He then grabbed the telephone re- ceiver and swung the spindle with all his might, but still no answer. He then jumped to hls telegraph inst tru- ment and struck the alarm signal on the Duncan end, but not a click of dot or dash could he get off that end of the wire. Morenci was then called with the same result, and then it was apparent the station was com pletely cut off from neighboring towns, the robbers having cut all the wires leading out.
 Horses were secured and word sent to Duncan, but Clifton didn't get any word until 10 o'clock Wednesday. By this time it was possible for the thieves to be fifty miles away in a sparsely settled, wild mountain coun- try.
 These hold-ups are becoming rather numerous hereab bouts this winter and the most strenuous efforts should be made to ferret out and capture this gang of outlaws.
 The telephone company was out of commission nearly the whole day as to outside communication, which caused much inconvenience to busi- ness and individuals. A big reward should be offered at once and a stop put to these depredations.

Easily the fifth crop in point of value is oats, the value of which this year is s3SO, ,OOO,O or 12 per cent. above the average of the five preced- ing years. In quantity the oats crop this year is magnificent. For the second time in the history of this country the crop exceeds l, 1000, ,OOO, 900 bushels, the precise stimate standing at .096, ,396,OO bushels, or ? per cent. greater than the average of the five preceding years.

narrative is doubly absorbing. Goth

His Election,

CHICAGO, Sept 22.-The investi-
cation of William Lorimer's election

day. before the senate committee, with
Senators BulkeIy and Frazier still
missing. Nothing definite has been
heard from Senator Frazier, who was
In Nashville. Tenn, when last heard
from. Senator Bulkely will not get
here until Sunday.
Chairman Burrows read the senate
resolution calling for the investiga-
ton. He said the action was taken
because of charges filed by the Legis
lative Voters league, of Chicago, and
as Clifford Barnes, president OF that
organization and Senator Lorimer
were both present, he would be glad
for any suggestions they might offer
Barnes said that his organization
brought the charges on evidence and
testimony gathered by the Chicago
Tribune and that he believed that the
Tribune, through its attorney, should
present the case.
Barnes declared in answer to Bur
rows suggestion that the Legislative
league itself be represented by coun-
sci, that IL did not desire this, as the
organization itself had no evidence to
present.
Attorney Elbridge Hanecy, repre-
senting Lorimer, asked that the in
Quiry be postponed. He said Lorimer
wanted to call as witnesses Lee
O'Neil Browne, charged with having
bribed Democratic members to vote
for Lorimer. State Senator Frederick
and other members of the legislature
now under indictment in connection
with the charges the committee was
to investigate He said that he
thought it would be impossible to get
these men to testify before their trial
in criminal charges. as their counsel
- had advised them not to do So He
wanted the inquiry postponed until
after those cases were settled.
