A PEEP AT THE WORLD AFTER
AN IMPRISONMENT FOR
THIRTY YEARS

The progress the world has made
in the past thirty years is vividly CIV
en- by man who has been. behind
prison bars in close confinement for
that period of time.
The man was imprisoned for MUIR
der and his innocence has just been
clearly established.
Though living In big city and was
a printer, he had never seen Mer-
genthaler linotype machine.
He had never seen perfecting
press.
He had never seen an automobile.
He had never seen a moving pic
ture.
He had never seen trolley car.
He had never seen a flying ma
chine.
Here are some of the comments
of this man who has been dead to
the world for three decades. They
are taken from the Philadelphia
Times:
Last Thursday, by the will of Gov
ernor Foss of Massachusetts, and his
council, the doors of Charlestown
prison let Abbott into the sunshine
and an automobile.
Past trolley cars, under elevated
trestles, over which rumbled trains,
propelled by electricity through the
medium of the third rail; past great
navy yard in which were many battle
ships of steel, which Abbott had heard
great scientist decry in the early
days; over great steel draw bridges,
between canons of sky scrapers sped
this wonderful automobile, carrying
Abbott through and into Wonderland.
How would you, a full grown man,
who has let these things come and go
as a matter of course, feel if your
knowledge of this wonderful world
had been a matter of books. were you
suddenly allowed to look and feel
yourself part of it for the first time?
These are some of the comments
Stearns K. Abbott made during his
first trip through Wonderland:
Marvellous, His Comment
"These tall buildings, sky scrapers
believe you call them, are almost
too much for my understanding. Why.
they look as if one could hide in one
of them and never be found.
"And that's a trolley car, is it?
Marvellous. OF course 1 have read
about them, but there were times dur
ing my confinement that I never ex-
pected to see them.
And what is that hole in the
ground? A tunnel through which cars,
run? Gracious. is it possible? But,
of course it is. Mans ingenuity is
equal to almost anything now. Well,
some day hope to ride through one"
1t occurred to Abbott that while he
had been by the world forgotten he
had not forgotten the world, for he
next expressed desire to see an air
ship. He knew of the possibilities,
having read all he could about them,
but he could not imagine just how
they looked in reality nor how they
worked. a
.'All this is like fairy tale to me-"
he commented. Everything is new;
everything wonderful

Arizona Mining News.

A. Y. Smith, the owner of the famous Commonwealth mine, at Pearce, says that much of the machin- cry required to replace the burned mill is now at Pearce and the new mill will be ready for operation dur ing 1911.
 The Old Dominion property at Globe made s45O.OOO on a copper pro- duct of S,OOO,OOO pounds last year, or about Tets per pound profit on its out put. It's yearly production was about 1000, ,OOO pounds less than for 1909.
 That the Tombstone district is still enjoying it's usual prosperity in local mining cirles, regardless of the tenn porary shutdown of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Company's prop critics, is evidenced by the number of chloriders now at work in the sur rounding hills of this district.
 Phoenix is likely to secure the 1912 convention of the American Mining Congress and to become headquarters for an Arizona chapter of that or ganization.

Rich Strike in the StareO Mine.

For nearly three years. The Camp bell Bros, and Will Keppler have been working the Stargo mine, about one mile southeast of Morenci, and shipping ore to the Douglas smelters amounting to a carload per day. Last week the workings broke into a vein of remarkably rich gold ore, running way up into the hundreds of dollars per ton. "Dutch" Keppler, an old experienced miner who knows a mine when he sees it, says it is the biggest gold strike ever made in the great Clifton-Morenci district or any where else for that matter. This mine has been a paying proposition from the start and the energy and perseverance of the boys deserve the fullest reward.

Special Correspondence
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27.-l Rather an original objection to the admission of Arizona has been filed at the Executive offices, coming from a modest resident of the territory, who gives the explanation of his identity after his signature, as ia Lincoln voter" Nevertheless the document contains the charge that the constitutional convention was ruled by partisan spirit, with an idea of making it impossible to elect other than Democratic United States Senators. A list showing the differ ent counties of the Territory, is sub- mitted, and accompanied by table showing the population, representa- tion by Senators and Representa- tives, and the proportion of popula- tion which each member of the two houses of Legislature will represent. The statement then goes on to say: "There are five republican counties in the territory, viz: Santa Cruz, Coconino, Pima, Apache and Navajo; the remaining being Democratic, ex- cepting Maricopa, which is doubtful. The republican counties have a population 58,411, and are allowed six Senators and seven representatives, while the counties of Mohave, Yuma, Yavapai and Graham are democratic having a population of only 36,052, and are allowed five Senators and nine representatives, or total of fourteen members. The population of the democratic counties is p, ,359 less than the five republican counties, still they are allowed one more mem- Der in the legislative department than are the republican counties. In support of the statement the "Lin- coin yoter," says that "the discrimi- nation against t h e republican counties is so great that tkey are not
 allowed sufficient representation in
 the legislative department to even
 constitute an efficient minority, and
 as the first Legislature elects two United States senators, this discrimi
 nation becomes a question of nation
 al importance, and of itself is suffici
 ent cause for the disa pproval of Arizona s constitution.

AN ARIZONA BUILDER.

The local stockholders of the Ari- zona Copper company residing in Clf- ton have sent memorial to the board of directorsof that company at Edinburgh, Scotland, asking that James Colquhoun, formerly president of the company, be again chosen as head of the directorate, to succeed Hon. John Gill, Edinburgh, now deceased.
 It is not surprising that the local shareholders who watched the match Hess success of MT. Colquhoun during the entire time that MT. Colquhoun was in Clifton should desire to see his master mind and hand again at the helm. He arrived at Clifton when a young man, taking position as assayer. Later he was put in charge of the shelter and meta lurgical department. His ability at tracted attention from the very day he began work for the company and in the year 1888 he was made general superintendent of the entire prop erty, including the Arizona & New Mexico railroad. At that time the company was in the grasp of debt which was daily accommodating; pay days were uncertain and profits were unknown. But, within a few years after MT. Colquhoun assumed full control the clouds which had hoyered over this enterprise began to break with the installation of Q perfect system of operation ard new methods of ore treatment, including teaching plant and the bessemer converters. Those who watched the operations of MT. COlquhoun saw a great future for the old debt-ridden company and began to buy up stock which had been very low and great profits were realized from these trans actions.
 The secret of success in industrial enterprises is loyalty of those engaged in them and no man ever directed an industry in Arizona who held a higher esteem of those under his direction, from the lowest paid to the highest.
 Since leaving Clifton MT. Colqu- houn has further equipped himself with knowledge in the science of min ing and reduction of copper. He has visited nearly every great copper district in the world and studied the formations and the methods of re- ductiop; two years ago he was in Douglas, Cananea, Bisbee and Naco zari for a month on this business.
 In Clifton it was customary years ago when MT. COlquhuon would re turn after his annual visit to the home office of the company in Scot land to prepare a banquet to whlct were invited all the heads of the de partmeuts, foremen, bosses, etc., to gether with prominent citizens Of CIlt ton and Morenci. On these occasions there was manifest the strong organization in charge of the Arizona Copper company. Should MT.
