MC(CdAls April -.

In the issue Of April Is, the FL Paso

among practical mining men here. The
paper says: The incline is in first

Grant, a former employe, has returned
to the shannon TO operate the incline,
excellent records have been made in
tonnage. Upon several occasions a rec
ord of 135, 900 tons for the IL hours
has been made, but the general average
is in the neighborhood OF 100000 tons.
The ore cars weigh three tons and car

Your correspondent made a special
trip to the mines here for the purpose
of ascertaining if 1T was possible for
copper mine to produce the enormous
amount of ore that Is said to go down
the shannon incline at the present
time and has learned that $4,000 tons
OF ore would require about Is cars per
minute, and as it is about 1000 feet TO
the top OF the incline, and only one car
is said TO be used, ii would be neces-
sary for each car to run about $4,000

Although the Shannon Is producing a
large amount Of ore and is by its ju-
dicious management a great mine. Yet
the fact OF the matter is that three
trains per day carry their ore to the

TR AIGHT TALKS

Causes Of Financial Dishonor
BY DIR. MADISON c. ]

Bank after bank, trust fund after
trust fund, men after men. shipwrecked
by officers, directors and clerks Mil
lions of cash and securities stolen, de-
positors stripped, stockholders ruined,
estates rifled, widows and orphans de-
frarded, hard laboring men and women
robbed OF their earnings, are so COM
mon occurrences that the daily chron-
icles no longer startle u.s. What does
it all mean? Are We the most dishonest
people on the face of the earth? Is our
society hopelessly corrupt? Is there TO
be no end to such disclosures of dis
honor? These awful financial crimes
eand what crimes, are worse, save pos
sibly murder and treason?) force upon
society the consideration of the most
serious questions
How Defaulters Are Made.
How are defaulters made?
First-There is the romance of fraud.
The most skilled in swallowing trust
funds and moneyed institutions are
looked upon as heroes and our Young
men are dazzled by their brilliant ex-
ploits. Steal a loaf of bread and you
go to jail, but swallow trust funds. loot
the widow and the orphan, and you will
astonish the world with your magnifi-
cent entertainments.
The Difference.
Steal dollar and the world will kick
you; go down for a million and the
world will feel honored by being kicked
by you.
1t is nearly always a safe thing to
be bank president or bank burglar.
1t is high time that we look upon en-
bezzlers, irregularities, defalcatfons.
and short accounts ali high treason
against public property and public
morality. and society should demand
speedy and effective execution of
justice.
Unbusinesslike Methods
Second-Careless and unbusinesslike
methods. Scores OF directors In mon
eyed institutions are used as decov
ducks to draw in the unsuspecting. II
goes without saying that directors
should direct. but 1T Is a well known
fact that many prominent men know
absolutely nothing about the institu-
lions OF which they are directors.
Guilty of negligence, directors are as
guilty as the acknowledged thieves.

An Ancient Industry.

It would be difficult to say where exactly and at what date the manufac- ture of cotton fabrics began. In com paratively modern times. says Country Life, it has become an industry of im- portance in Europe. but it has four ished in the east from period too re- mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials. for fragments of such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civi- lization. and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture. In China. too. and India the same kinds of material have been the com. mon wear of the people from time }m memorial. ln fact, everywhere through out the ear cotton fabrics were pro- duced and used long before the primi- tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the graces of civilization or in. deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad savages.
