 Geo. C. Meese arrived from the U. s. Navy mining camp in Copper Basin yesterday and states that the new hoist and other machinery has been placed in position, and all thar remains to start pumping from the old workings and to begin develop ment is the installing of. oil tanks at Skull Valley, which will be finished during the coming week. The under taking will then assume active. eper- atiOn. The plant is pronounced one of the best that has ever been brought to this county, and has been erected in a substantial manner. The prop erty is regarded as very valuable in zine and lead ores, and regular ship ments to the east are being made. from the old dumps that contain thousands of tons of ore taken out by former operators, and which were not considered as, valuable at that time, many years ago, the mine being worked for gold and silver.

PIONEER VITALITY t-.....
 ADMITTED TO HOME
(FrOm Sundays Daily.)

(tTOm sunday Oally.)
 Although General Leonard Wood, yhief of staff of the United States Army is one of the most resOlute of uen, and is regarded as stern soldier, his gratitude in remem- bering the pioneer was beautifully exemplified yesterday when Major A. J. Doran, superintendent of the Pioneers Home in this city received the following autograph letter from this officer, in commenting the ae- ton taken a short time ago to admit A. D. Whaley to the institution. Gen eral Wood writes:
 "This pioneer carried dispatches for us from far down in Mexico dur ing the Geronimo campaign in 1885 and did a work which very few men would have undertaken, so great was the hazard and risk.''
 Mir. Whaley was admitted to the Pioneers Home last week, on the recommendation made by General Wood when he visited Prescott last month At that time soldier and civilian greeted each other by mere chance on the street, and immediately thereafter the application was made and MT. Whaley now occupies the place to which he is justly entitled for his splendid service.

BOUNDARY LINE IS
 CHANGED BY DITCH

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 25.-When Texas irrigation company sought to secure a flow of water from the Rio Grande by cutting an eighteen foot channel to supply it's Texas farms, it unwittingly changed the boundary of the United States and of Mexico. which today is the sub jeet of international litigation.
 In the litigation several Mexican land owners have combined with the United States government in filing the suit at Brownsville. The de fendant company admits that the course of the Rio Grande has been diverted from it's channel through one of the large bends This cut was made about forty miles upstream from Brownsville.
 As a result several wealthy Mex jean land owners find their former the United States. Although faith ful to MaderO and the Mexican flag, yet they are subject to the laws of the Uuited States and the taxes of Texas, Because the government sur vey says the Rio Grande shall be considered the lawful boundary line between the United States and Mex leo.
 In the suit the government prays that the original course of the Rio Grande be restored, while the irriga tion company favors expansion for the United States and would indem- nifty the Mexicans, who, in a night, found their ranches moved into the United States.

 In referring to the next speaker, Mitchell said that the man he was about to introduce was well known to every citizen of this county. Prob ably many of them were well aequaint- with him but would be greatly sur prised to learn that their acquaint- ance was on a false basis and that the next county treasurer although ehristened Charles F.

Apartment houses are not new home IN
situations for the city of Washington.
About fifteen years ago the eleven-story
Cairo apartment was built and 1t has been
one of the most successful buildings in
the city. Since then, especially during
the last few years, a large number or
apartment houses ranging in size from
the three-story, five-room, six-apartment
building to the great structures like the
Highlands. Dresden, Stoneleigh Court,
WELLINGTON and others Of this class, have
been built in different residence sections
of the city.
There are many reasons that make the
apartment house popular from the family
standpoint Two of the most important
are the high cost of living and the serv-
ant question, without taking into consld-
Grafton the compactness of home life and
many other conveniences to be found In
the average modern apartment.
The apartment house, as an institution,
has come to Washington to stay. Scores
of families each year dispose Of their
homes and move into apartments. This
especially applies to families where the
children are beyond the primary classes.
and to adult families. One servant in an
apartment will make as complete a home
Practically every human need is furnished
In these buildings for the complete and
comfortable housing of a family.
Little New Building Expected
Owing to the tightness of the money
market it is probable there will not be
very many new apartment houses built
during the year 1911. Conferences with
the builders who produce practically all
of the apartments have brought forth ex-
pressions of opinion that owing to the
high price of material and the tightness
of the money market that they will not
build apartments this year. This, of
course, will diminish the supply and Will
create a very much larger demand and
consequently add permanency to the
apartment house investment.
The test of any good investment seems
to be the ability of the purchaser to dis
pose of it and the ability of the second
and other purchasers to continue to make
disposals of it at g. satisfactory price or
at profit.
One Of the largest-perhaps the largest
builders OF homes in the city of Washing
ton made the statement yesterday that he
had built eighty-six apartments since
April 1906. ranging in size from the
standard three-story. fve-room apartment
building. worth $4,000 to $4,000, to the

seven stories, and ranging in value from

stated that all of these buildings had been
sold except four. and that a number Of
very attractive and f1attering offers have
been made to purchase these four re-
naming buildings. He further stated
that not one of the purchasers of his
buildings was dissatisfied. and that all the
apartments that had been transferred
for the second time had been resold on
satisfactory and profitable terms. In
other words, in an investment of prob
ably S1OOO0,OO0 all of the owners were
satisfied and all of them could resell their
properties at a profit.
Tenants Readily Secured.
This builder also made the statement
that practically none of these apartments
is vacant at the present time; that only
a few remain vacant in the four buildings
which he now owns, and one of these
buildings was finished only last month.
The same builder also stated that dur
ing the period since April, 1906, he had
constructed over ], 100 houses. every one
of which had been sold and is now occu-
pied.
Another builder of apartments said that
his syndicate had produced seventeen
apartment buildings in the year 1910, and
that there was not over one apartment
vacant in each building. notwithstanding
the fact that most of the buildings were
finished after the rental season was past
nus IWtiItS
prior to 1910. and sold all except one, and
it is believed any one of these buildings
could be sold again al profit.
During July last an occupant of one OF
the downtown high-clasS fireproof apart
ments desired to make a change because
the number of rooms he occupied at that
time was not sufficient to accommodate
his family. He made this startling dis
coyery-that there was q large waiting
list at each one of these buildings and
that instead of reducing the rent the
rentals had been very materially in
creased in six of these buildings which he

to ascertain If it We're difficult to rent

ing on which this experiment was tried is

In making a special effort to rent this
building eight apartments were rented in
ten days without any rebate reduction
in the rent or the granting of any spe-
cial favors
The fact is very well known that there
has been practically no reduction in the
rents of the apartment houses in the city
Of Washington. The prices have re-
