EFT EGO IN ARCADIA.

Where are the loves of yesterday?
Sad and sweet Is the old refrain:
Horace sang il half in play;
Villon. in measures that throb with
pain:
Life at the best is tangled skein,
We are the tools OF time and chance.
Yet once on a time we lived in Spain,
And every heart has its old romance.
Where are the loves of yesterday?
All, for an hour of youth again
Youth that was short as a month OF
May.
Youth with its Dulsing blood and
brain:
Too soon came autumn with mist
and rain,
Too brief the dream, too short the
dance;
Yet once on a time we lived in Spain,
And every heart has its old romance.
Where are the loves of yesterday?
Here is a note with a yellow stain,
And here in q book a withered spray
OF sweet aslyssum for years has lain
But why regret? All things must
wane,
Life's sweetest note, loves fondest
glance
Yet once on time we lived in Spain
And every heart has its old romance

Biela's comet was never particu-

circulate between Mars and Jupiter

the final disaster. At the reappear-

formed part of the trail of the lost

This Years Mining Dividends.

The Engineering and Mining World
| (Chicago) of Saturday last, published
gratifying review of the dividend
record made by American mines dur
| ing the ten months ended November
Il. From the advance sheets of this
| report. it appears that there has been
no period of equal length in the his
tory of the mining industry so pro-
life of dividend disbursements as has
the period mentioned.
Declarations of dividends by 142
mines and metallurgical works dur
ing the ten months show disburse-
ments to the amount of s71,711,74s.
Not included in this showing are
the dividends paid by eight securi-
ties holding corporations. which dur
ing the first ten months of 1911
amounted to s11,92s,951.
The dividends paid by the 142 mines
mentioned since the beginning Of
their operation aggregate s234,26O,451.
The eight securities holding cor
porations have paid, in all, dividends
of s12s,6S2,14s.
The % copper companies operat-
ing properties in the United States
during the ten months divided
among shareholders s27,593,7 76>
Since their incorporation these same
companies have disbursed in divi-
dends a total of 1890. ,076.
The showing for the ten months
seems remarkable, in view of the
fact that the year so far has been
generally acknowledged as a period of
general depression.
The dividends paid in the month
of October by copper companies
operating in Arizona were: Arizona
Copper. s5,777; Calumet and Arizo-
ma, s62s,512; Old Dominion. s146,622;
Old Dominion Mining and Smelling
sl62, 900; United Verde. s225,OOO.
The Tom Reed gold mine (Mohave
county, disbursed 100000 in divi-
dends in October, which was about
the average monthly disbursements.
The October dividends of the copper
companies mentioned comprised, of
course, their profits for their re-
spective dividend periods, and not for
single month.
Notwithstanding the depression
caused by the relatively low price
OF copper, it appears that the present
year will be one of very satisfactory
profits for the industry.

Our Inadequate Navy.

The assembling of the Atlantic
fleet in New York harbor and the
Pacific fleet in Los Angeles harbor
the other day, made an imposing
showing Of American sea power-for
superficial observers. Any deduc-
tons from the mere number of bat
tleships, cruisers and other vessels
that passed before President Taft at
New York, and from the number
that figured in the news accounts
from Los Angeles would be mis-
leading. however.
The president reviewed "a formid-
able looking battleships and war craft
to a total of one hundred, to be sure.
But only six of them We're dread
nOughts. In the Pacific fleet there
is hut one battleship-the old Ore
gon, newly overhauled. The Oregon
commanded by Dewey, Sampson, and
Schley in the war of thirteen years
ago are obsolete today; and the
great advance in naval designing
within the last five years has made
practically obsolete the newer ships
that We're constructed Immediately
before the beginning of the dread
nought era. In other words, with
the exception OF our six dreadnought..
our other battleships would be of
little avail in battle except against
ships of their class-and ships of
their class are being sent into re-
tirement by the other powers.
By the end of the coming year we
shall have total OF II dread
noughts in commission-the only
class of battleships really worth con-
sidering in these times. Twelve
strictly modern battleships will make
respectable fighting force, but
owing to the criminal carelessness OF
congress in failing to provide an
adequate and modern auxiliary fleet.
these great fighting ships could not
be sent to sea prepared for a long
campaign They would have to de-
pend on the coal within their own
bunkers. for we are substantially
without coal carrying ships. and in
time of war the combatants cannot
obtain coal in neutral ports. We also
lack repair ships, ammunition and
general supply ships. and hospital
ships The navy is particularly de-
ficient in modern cruisers. torpedo
boats and destroyers-the swift scout
ships which must screen the fighting
force and bring news of the where
abouts of the enemy.
But perhaps congress will awake,
by and by. The personnel Of the
navy. at any rate, is superb. Our
marksmen are the most accurate
shooters on the sea

ECONOMICS is A FAvoRITE.
The Students at Harvard Seem to
Center Upon This Course.

From the Boston Transcript.
The first report of the results of the
new grouping of studies" system at
Harvard is now at hand. Under this
system every student must take at least
six of his courses in some one depart
ment and six more courses must be dis
tributed among the three general
groups in which his chief work does not
lie. AS to the five remaining courses
necessary for a degree, free election
prevails. OF the present sophomore
class-a total of 1873 are concentrating
their work in economics. fifty-five in
engineering and forty-five in romance
languages. English history and chemis-
try follow in the order named. Econo-
mics has long been a popular subject
with college men. principally because it
is supposed to bear a rather close re-
lation to the life work of the ordinary

The Big Fair.

Given sunny skies, the territorial
fair which opens today will excel in
size and attractions all the fairs here
tofore held under territorial auth
ority.
The weather man has been efficient
heretofore. Rain has fallen just be-
fore or just after each of the six
previous fairs, but during fair week
the weather has always been per-
feet. Let us hope our good luck will
continue.
Visitors do not need to be told that
they are most welcome. The fair is
their own, made so by law; it is
an institution in which every citizen
has a proprietary interest. And it
is the desire of every resident of
Phoenix that the visitors shall be
made to feel at home.
The city in the business district,
is not so attractive as We should like
10 have it. We. are in the midst of
a big job of street paving. and some
sections are unsightly. The numer-
GUS buildings under construction also
add to the appearance of confusion.
But when a city is growing as rapidly
as Phoenix is just now there is bound
to be some evidence of untidiness.
But these incidental features will
not in the least mar the fairs many
attractions.
So let us have a week of enjoy
ment.
