Uprising Against Diaz is Expected.

The frontier territory of Mexico is
in a ferment over the wholesale ar
rests of alleged enemies of the Mexi-
can government and the rapidly
spreading report that President Diaz
has issued an order for the Deportation
of Francisco 1. Madero, the liberal
presidential candidate, now held in
the penitentiary at Monterey. The
jails in every town on the Mexican
side of the border are everAowing
with prisoners, 1t is claimed that
followers of Madero have been in
famed to the point of an uprising by
literature which has been distributed
by agitatOrs from the United States.
The Madero followers, it is said, were
being urged to attack and kill the
government authorities in the differ
ent towns if they were denied the right
to vote for Madero at the polls last
Sunday.
The situation at Cananea, Naco and
a dozen other border towns is acute.
Large stores of ammunition and arms,
Struggled into the country, have been
recovered by the government, and
troops are held in readiness to start
to any point where n uprising appears
likely. Serious trouble at the cleo
tious was expected.
Cananea, Mexico, June 2l.-This
town. made famous by the bonanza
mines of the Green company, was
placed under martial law, following
the arrest of four alleged revolution
lists and the seizure of 1000 rounds OF
ammunition and a quantity of arms.
Col. Emilio Kosterlitzky and his
rurales are stationed at four entrances
to the city. Seizure was made after
several anti-Diaz meetings were re-
ported to have been held in Ell Paso,
Tex. Sixty-fve men were arrested
several days previously for their sup
port of a candidate opposing Diaz for
the presidency.
The trouble arises with the young
element, which is strong for political
liberty" The idol of many is Senior
Madero, candidate for president, who,
by reason of having caused crowds to
form, has been placed in Jail at Mon
terey. Arms and ammunition have
been seized in several other towns.
The principal industry of Cananea is
mining. Col. Green controls the ma
jority of the concessions, and main
tains large stamp mill.

Plans For Biz Exposition.

Denver, Colo, June %. The great
est attempt at an Exposition which
has ever been made in the Western
States is well under way by the Inter-
State Fair aud Exposition Associa-
ton, which has arranged two weeks
show this fall instead of the regular
one week exhibition. The grounds
at Overland Park are being remodeled
and refurnished and made to present
the aspect of a Worlds Fair. The
new grandstand is fast approaching
completion and it is predicted by
everyone familiar with the prepare
ton and the amount of money being
expended that the show will be the
best ever offered West of the Missis-
sippi River. The Horse Show will be
an attractive adjunct. The premium
list with prizes aggregating $40, 900 90
will be issued about July 10 and copies
of same may be obtained by address
ing Secretary G G. Fuller, Denver.

and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires d constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors

Annual Report of the Greene COnSOIi.
daIed Is Issued.

New York City.-The reports of
the Greene Consolidated Copper COM
pany and the Cananea Consolidated
Copper company for the year 1909
have been made public. The latter
company, whose stock is owned by
the former, shows a slight increase
in the cost of producing copper last
year as compared with that of The
previous year. The cost of mining
was 81 ton, as against S2.13 for
the previous year and S4.28 a ton for
the fifteec months ended October 81,
1907. Of this sum of S22.22 nine and
one-half cents per ton consists of i'm
provements and equipments installed
charged during the year. This is
most satisfactory, the report says,
for the reason that extra money
spent in development has amounted
to at least 20 cents per ton over the
same cost the year previous, and for
the reason that there has been a
greater proportion of smelling ore
mined in the new mines, where cost
is necessarily higher.

SURPRISING Revolution In Mexico.

In the same north and northwest
ern provinces of Mexico where two
years ago groups of revolutionists, or
bandits, as the Mexican government
called them, received stern treat
ment, being dispatched by bullet or
rope, and their sympathizers sent to
the salt mines, the Mexican govern
ment is now making arrests by the
hundred, and searching for Struggled
arms. according to dispatches of the
18th and Goth, the latter from Can
anea, the chief center of the former
uprising. Martial law had been pro-
claimed in Cananea and other border
towns. The dispatch says that the
evolutionary movement originated
among the young element of north
ern Mexico, followers of General
Bernardo Reyes, now in Europe, and
of Senior Madero, candidate for
president, now under arrest in Monte
reg on the cearge of causing crowds
to form. The disconnected faction
demands political liberty, free
speech and the Fright to vote. 8"
They announce they will go to the
polls on election day prepared to
fight if denied their constitutional
rights. That such uprisings were to
be expected during this election year
and that as far as possible they would
be put by the Mexican government
in the bandit class, was predicted
last year.

Theodore Roosevelt.

Most of the laity among progress
i've republicans imagine that Mr..
Roosevelt will place himself at their
head and lead the charge against the
react;onaries. After that, they
think, sit will all be over but the
shouting;" that the reactionaries will
take to the woods, and that progress
will be enthroned in The republican
organizati 1t is doubtful if their
leaders at Washington share their
hope as to Mr.. Roosevelt's future
course, or agree with them that his
Identification with insurgency is es-
sential to that movements success,
but there is no question as to the
hope and confidence of the rank and
file.
A close study of Mr.. Rooseyelt's
career will fail to disclose anything
in it upon which to base the hope
that he will become an Insurgent.
In his later years he has been chief
among the apostles of party regular
ity, and insurgency is essentially
irregular. Mr.. Roosevelt has never
done or said anything to show that
he sympathizes with Insurgency's
aims or purposes. In fact many peo-
pie who acclaim most loudly their
belief in the Roosevelt policies
have mo clear conception of what
those policies are, nor of the char
acter of the man for whom they are
named. They have judged Mr..
Roosevelt by his words and not by his
deeds, and the result is an amazing
popular misconception of the real
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt's strength in fact,
has come largely through his ability
to convince the people of his devotion
to the public welfare, while in an
emergency he has never failed to en-
list in behalf of himself or his cause
the support of 1.-THE malefactors of
greath wealth" Certainly his poll
cies have never included any extern
sion OF democratic government,
which, after all, is the inspiring
| principle of this Insurgent movement
If Mr.. Roosevelt's future is to be
judged by his past, he will be found
allied with the Standpat element OF
his party, although he will probably
avoid committing himself publicly tc
the Standpat faction. He is the
most adroit politician of his time
| and he wants To he President AGAIN
He has no hope that he can attain
that place against the combined OPP
position of the concentrated wealth
of the country-a wealth which de
spite his pretense to the contrary, be
has always cultivated and courted
At the same time he will avoid, il
possible, doing aught that will alien
ate to any serious degree the support
of the rank and file.

Eats S. Bill He Changed For Friend.

st. Louis. -Somewhere in the
anatomy of John Henry of Upper
Alton there is a So bill that he
chewed up and swallowed while eat
ing a cheese sandwich. While
munching placidly on the sandwich
W. w. Lowe asked Mr.. Henry to
change So.
Holding the bill between his teeth,
Henry began to "frisk' himself with
one hand for the change while with
the other he continued to carry the
slowly disappearing sandwich to his
mouth. By the time the change had
been counted out and laid on the
counter the last of the sandwich had
been eaten and Henry asked where
the bill was.
Last 1 saw of it," said Mr.. Lowe,
"you were holding it in your teeth"
"That's So" said Henry. 81 did
stick the corner of that bill in my
mouth to hold it and clean forgot it.
[ remember now that the sandwich
tasted kind of peculiar aud 1 thought
you had put a leaf of lettuce into it
like they do in those club sandwiches
they serve in the city for two bits"
Meanwhile the s. in change had
been given Lowe, and when Henry
began to figure out where he came in
on the transaction the best he got
was an assurance from all present
that he undoubtedly had the money
and that there was no chance of his
spending it.
Henry has been trying to figure
how he can be "money in" and
money out" at the same time.

Never Voted for President.

Charles R. Hawley, one of the pion-
GERS of this place, is 10 years of age,
has taken the keenest possible inter-
est in politics all his life, and has
never voted for president. He is now
quoted as saying that he will do all
he can to hasten formal statehood for
Arizona so that he may cast at least
one ballot for some one for that high
office.
81 am a Republican" he says, "but
that is going to cut no figure with
this, my first vote for president.
shall organize a first voters club of
the young men here and at Tempe,
and we first voters are going to cut
quite figure in the local campaign.
OF course, shall not seek to dictate
to the other first voters, but as for
me, give me The winning man or no
vote. This vote of mine is not going
to be wasted. 1 want to know who is
going to win, and then 1 shall march
up and cast my maiden vote for presi-
dent for that individual"
The secret of the thing is that Haw-
ley has lived in territories ever since
his majority, or failing that, has lived
in one or the other OF them at the
time presidential election was being
held.
He has never been out of the United
States, yet has been unable to vote,
although he was we'll into voting age
when Lincoln was running for presi-
dent the first time. 1t is no wonder
he wants bis first vote to count.

The Literary Magazine calls atteu-
ton to ten important considerations
which seem to have been generally
overlooked in the discussion of the
cost of living. They are as follows:
l. Automobile tires are now two
inches larger than they we're FIVE
years ago and cost more when they
burst.
?. The price of theatre seats for
good attractions has gone up to 81.
3. Whenever anyone has a nickel
left down town the moving picture
show gets it.
4. Railroad fares have gone down
So per cent, which enables US to
travel four times as much as we
formerly did.
5. Ten years ago a piano cost S400
and we didn't haYe any. Now it
costs 81 per week and we are paying
for two,-the present one and the
one which we wore out last year.
6. Taxicabs have gotten so cheap
that it costs so cents to ride home
after midnight instead of 10 cents by
owl car.
I. Talking machines are now a
necessity, whereas 10 years ago they
we're luxury.
s. Food is now put up in such
handsome packages that we buy
each year more than $25 worth of
labels, which are not in any way
nourishing.
9. Tailor-made clothes are now so
cheap that we spend $40 for a made
to-order suit instead of picking out
hand-me- down for SIC.
10. Most of US have larger families
than we had 10 years ago, anyway

The Copper Situation.

Statements have lately been made
that the porphyry copper would next
year be able to produce 400, 100000
pounds of copper at 81 cents. What
this means to the southwest cannot
be grasped, though all recognize its
significance when it is added that the
principal part of this great output is
expected from the Ray Consolidated,
Miami, Inspiration ARIZONA mines),
and the Chino (near Silver City, N.
M There is some fear of instabil-
ity of the copper market, and that
this may largely be brought about by
just such estimates as the above,
which, while actual fact, is possibly
ill-advised. In this regard Judge
Gary, of the Steel corpor alton, re-
Gently stated to the Boston Market
Reporter 1.-THE steel business is
bound to expand, but there is too
much system among manufacturers
to allow for an expansion that would
tend to create decentralization. The
copper interests of the country seem
to be living in a FOOLS paradise.
They are turning out more copper
than the world Can take care of, and
the Nevada and Utah mine owners
are giving out optimistic interviews
as to the hundreds of millions more
pc luds of copper they will produce
two or three years hence. When our
steel production exceeds the demand,
we curtail and prevent price de-
moralization. If we continued to
produce up to capacity and talked of
still further increase in output a
year or two hence, consumers would
not buy our product for any price
greatly above cost of production.
