counted among the little fellows,
this district, is proportionately in
line for the good things now on the
way. Primarily, we have one of the
biggest copper camps in the world,
with the absolute assurance of it
growing still bigger in the way OF
production. We make the lowest cost
copper of any camp in the world;
and while We have the banner pro-
duction of the state, we have also
the largest payroll in the state.
The pay roll of a mining camp is
the financial backbone of a camp;
the bigger the pay roll, the greater
the business. The pay roll at Nc
Gill and Copper Flat each has been
increased during the month and there
will be a further increase at the be-
ginning of next month. They are
putting more men on the pay roll at
the Giroux, and will continue to add
10 the list as the work of develop
ment increases. More men have
been put on at Ely Consolidated. and
still more will be needed when they
start to sink to the 600-foot level.
in the Zack shaft. The same argu-
ment obtains with regard to the Bos-
ton Ely.
Within a short time the property
of the Ely Revenue will be started
up; meaning more men at work in
the district. The reorganization of
Ely Central is progressing in faster
shape than it was imagined could be
accomplished two months ago; and
il looks as if that property would be
operated again shortly after the first
of the month.
Then the big thing for which the
district has been waiting for a long !
time cannot be delayed much longer.
In a short time now, the Giroux Con-
solidated Mines company nus make
with regard to its reduction plant.
We must know whether a smelter
and concentrator, one or both. is 60
ing to be put up in the district, and
where they are going to be located.
There is no doubt about the coneen-
traitor; il is only a matter of location.
As TO the rest it will be either a
smelter or a railroad; and either will
do to precipitate a boom in the dis
trict, for the Giroux has the ore. both
in the porphyry and in the limestone.
Without a doubt there will be anoth-
er railroad through the district;
there will be one which will put us
on a transcontinental line. This, to
be sure, will be a matter of some
time; but when the dirt begins TO
fly for its construction we will see
things humming throughout the
country, and more especially in the
mountains and valleys of the Robin
son district.
This district is all right,

The commission plan for govern
ing towns and cities which has been
adopted in Utah is now on trial in
twenty-six states and in the main
seems to work advantageously. II
is in process of experiment in Ia
cities with apparently satisfactory
result. As a rule the operation of
the plan has brought better and
cleaner government, with great
economy of administration. The fact
that the people in the more densely
cities of the country have been slow
to give the new system a trial may
be in part explained by the hesitation
of the leaders of political parties to
abandon a plan they understand for
one which they do not. There is
also doubt whether the plan would
stand the strain of trial in a big city

an asylum to the oppressed; and be-
| cause liberty is the keynote of the
constitution o. the United States.
Ireland had been fighting the bat
tie for freedom long before the col

British yoke; and the fighting sons
of the Emerald Isle crossed the ocean
to help the Americans sever the
shackles of England; while their or
ators and statesmen made the cause
of the revolutionists in the halls of
parliament. The names of ~illustri-
Gus Irishmen adorn the Declaration
of Independence; many sons of Ire
land filled unnamed graves on the
battlefelds of the revolution. The
Irish race was a strong factor in the
upbuilding of the country. proving
what they might have accomplished
at home had they been given the OPP
p%ortunity. Small wonder that the
music. the poetry, the sentiments
and legends on the old sod find
warm places in the American heart;
that there is ever a green spot for
ireland in the land of the free and
the home of the brave.

doubt as to whether he was of En-
glish or French origin. He was
captured in a raid of the warlike
Scots on the Britons and sold into
slavery 10 the Picts on the Irish
coast. He remained in slavery for
six years in the county Antrim, and
then made his escape. finding his
way back TO his kinsmen. His was

studied for the priesthood and was
sent to the country of his slavery

the minds of the barbaric and fight

spreading the seeds of cultivation.

America in more var than one; and
the progressive and combatiye spirit
of the Irish has aided in the upbuild-

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THIS DISTRICT?


The spring has dawned bringing
with it a feeling of gladness and
good cheer. and the entire country
is about to awaken to the fulflment
of the promises OF the greater pros
perity we have ever known. The
"grouches'' of pessimism. the apos-
ties of hard luck, the fossils of way
back and the bears of Wall street
will wake up some fine morning to
the realization of the healthy con-
dition of the United States; and the
fact that opportunity has passed
their door. The Wall street pre-
texts for keeping down the market
are discounted by the people before
they are advanced; they are getting
too thin to hold water. for the great
American people is beginning to do
its own thinking.
Wall street has been full of bluffs
which have not been made good. In
every movement of public life the
street has affected to see danger to
the sacred institutions of finance.
They have been depressing the mark
ct for two years with the bugaboo
of the United States supreme court
decision on the oil trust and the
tobacco trust. In the meantime the
question of increasing the profits of
the railroads came up before the in
terstate commerce commission; and
the paid claque of Wall street Shrek
ed their heads off as to the awful out
come in the event of the railroads
being turned down. But in spite of
the yells and the snarls and attempts
to jam public opinion into the bal
anee, the interstate commerce com
mission did just what every think
ing man in the country, the railroad
men included, thought it would do.
1t refused TO make the railroad pre-
creditors in the matter of get
ting the peoples money; and de-
MED the asked for increase in rates.
This was a more important decis-
ion than that on the oil and tobacco
trusts; it was the most important of
all alleged impending dangers TO
financial interests, yet it passed by

FEDERAL PRISON IS
 BEING INSPECTED Many RumOrs Follow Resig-
 nation of Priest IS VERY SECRETIVE Every Department of Atlanta Jail Is Being Investigated and Sensa-
 ton May Develop at
 Any Time

Atlanta, April 1S.-(Special)- )-In spite Of denials from Washington, or attempts on the part of officials to turn off questions by making it appear that the matter is regular and of no importance, it is learned that there is deep and systematic inves- tigation going on at the federal prison near Atlanta.
 It is being conducted by Inspector Biel- eski of the department of justice, and has been going on for the last week.
 According to a telegram from Wash ington, when he was asked about the inquiry, Superintendent of Prisons Ladow replied that the department had a num- ber of inspectors who made regular rounds of the prisons, and that this was probably one of the periodic inspections without other or important significance.
 But it has become well known here that there is more to 1t than this. though officials at the prison refuse to talk. and it is practically impossible to learn anything about the details. It is understood, however, that prac- tically every department of the prison Is included and that the hours, habits and other characteristics of the various off, ficials and employees are being inquired into.
 About the only charge which has come out in the gossip about the investigation is that some of the guards are alleged to have smuggled whisky into the prison, though it is said it was for their per- sonal use and was not given to the pris- oners. But this is said to be of a minor consideration compared to some of the directions which the investigation Is talk ing.
 Mixed up with 1t all. It is said, are the circumstances which led to the resigna- ton of Father Morrow as one of the chaplains at the prison, the circumstances of which have never been made public and which, in fact, are confined still to gos- sip and rumor. But enough has come out to make it apparent that there was a religious dispute of some sort in the prison which caused Father Morrow f1n- ally to leave after two years service, all though Bishop Kelley, it is stated, urged him to stay.
 When asked about 1t the prison officials laugh and declare there is nothing to it. and yet it comes pretty straight that this dispute or misunderstanding, what ever the nature of it, is figuring in the official inquiry.
 It is said the Investigation has grown cut of continual reports and complaints made by discharged prisoners. the con cusion being, of course, that they had some grudge to serve. Anyhow, a num- Der of former prisoners, as well as pris- oners now In the institution, 1t Is learned, are being examined in detail by the in- spectors, and it is said guards and of flcials will probably also be called on to give testimony on certain points.
 Considerable curiosity has been aroused as result of the somewhat mysterious | injury. and the reports of the inspectors | will be awaited with no small amount of | interest

SELMA HEARS RAILROAD RUM0RS Believed That Work Will Soon Begin By the
 l.. & N.

Selma, April 1S-(SpeciaL l. )-Selmians who, during the past few days, have visited Birmingham bring back to this city the rumor that 1t is currently re- Iorted there the Louisville and Nash vile railroad will soon begin the work of constructing the road from Selma Up the Cahaba valley to the Birming- ham district
 Whether there is any truth to the rumor is not known in this city. The report brought to Selma is that at lecent meeting of the board of di- ectors of the Louisville and Nashville, l.eld in New York, an appropriation of s3,000,00O was made to begin the work of building this road. It is generally believed here that the Louisville and Nashville will eventually build this oad and Selmians would like to see the work of construction start at once.
 The building of the proposed rail- road from Selma to the Birmingham district up the Cahaba valley survey would give the Louisville and Nashville practically a double track from the mineral district of the state to deep water and an outlet to the entire world for the heavy tonnage of that district. By the building of a gap of about 40 miles connected the Myrt,ewood branch of that system to Meridian the Louis ville and Nashville would get connec- tions to the cities of the west.
 It is believed here there is some ground for the report that the Louis- vile and Nashville will soon begin the work of building this road. It is even thought that work upon the road will be started before the end of the present year.
 Adjt Gen. Joseph B. Sculy of the Alabama National Guard and First Lieut. Henry Gibbens of the Ninth United States cavalry, inspected Troop C of the cavalry squadron of the Ala bama National Guard in their armory at the city building tonight.

This Book Has Vital Qual
 The
 Prodigal \ Judge By Vaughan Hester The Great American Novel Price 1.25

Most lovable of prodigal heroes; eloquent at every bar Falstaffian in capacity of appetite and intellect, the judge in this story is to be reck oned with. In him the ridiculous strugglesfor mas tery with the sublime. The reader laughs over him, and loves him, and in the end rises to point of de- lighted admiration for the vagabond who still re- tains the high minded great hearted gentleman. He is the most striking charaster in story of many striking characters; romance rich in incident hearty in humor, fullflowing in broad current of
 life and events Love and hate and private fued true friendship and evil ambition, the mysterious and unexpected all have their place in the plot of this American novel. And the very core and focus of interest is the unforgetabe, magnificent figure of the prodiga judge.
 'sClosng the volume, the reader is touched by that rare feeling that he has left company whom he has known intimately and for the most part loved "-N Y. Herald.
