n MING, one of the greatest fac
MI tors in FL Paso's commercial
success, has advanced stea Oily in
the region known as the Great South
west and including the mining districts
of Arizona, New Mexico, northern Mex
leo (including Sonora) and west Texas.
Much development work has been done
IN all Of these fields except the west
Texas district, where the Texas mining
laws prevent, and some has been done
even in west Texas. The copper camps
have continued active during the en-
tire year, new districts have been open
ed, and the expected sharp increase in
the price of this commodity is expected
to reestablish the copper camps Of the
southwest on the basis they had before
the Slump Of 1907.
In 1910 Arizona for the second time
produced more copper than any other
American state or foreign country.
Of greatest Importance to southwest
ern mining interests is the addition TO
the Ell Paso smelteF of reverberatory
furnaces for smelling copper concen-
trates This will make the big smelter
a greater factor than ever in the devel-
opment Of the copper fields Of the
southwest A total of $500, 900 to $780,
600 is to be expended in the work and
concentrates from the New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and Mexico fields will be handled
in this smelter.
Around Globe.
The rapid development Of the Miami
field in the Globe district has attracted
the attention OF the mining world to
this camp. A mill with a capacity of
1000 tons per day will handle the out
put from the rich copper mines Of the
recently opened district. Just now,
Globe is one of the most active camps
in the southwest and is destined to be
8 second Butte.
The Ray Consolidated, at Kelvin,
Ariz-, will increase its production as
soon as the FL Paso smelter is in posi-
ton to handle its concentrates. The
company has established a large con-
contractor at the mines and will begin
shipping to FL Paso as soon as the new
furnaces are completed Clifton and
Morenci have continued to produce
heavily throughout the year and are
two of the most substantial camps OF
the Arizona mining district Mining
development has been brisk around
Tucson
The Warren District.
Douglas and Bisbee, one producing !
and the other smelling the red metal
from the Warren district mines, have
been among the greatest wealth pro-
ducers in the district. The smaller
camps in Arizona have likewise been
active and much development and pros
pecting work done.
Tombstone, at one tipe the peer of |
any Arizona mining camp, is gradually |
resuming its former position and is |
much valuable ore from its |
deep mines. The handling of the water |
IN these mines continues a problem, but !
the high power pumps are caring for |
this menace and are permitting the |
rich gold, silver and lead ores to be /
taken from the properties in the dis |
trict- This camp is attracting more at /
tention at the present time than at any

Schwartzchild, Su1zberger company, an
other of the large combines, has been
looking over FL PaSO for a packing
house site. Swift, Armour and other
big packers all have cold storage
houses here.
That the next year will probably wit
ness an even greater activity in the
importation of cattle, is the belief of
those engaged in this industry and the
building of a packery will mean a great
source of profit 20 Ell Paso.
Cattle are now worth about $17.75
per head in Ell PasO. duty paid. which
would make the Imports during the
past year worth approximately 1852
600, which is a remarkable showing
for one industry.

PURELY VEGETABLE
The One SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
1cal kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
IN every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., a blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barkS, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral IN any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to- use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofu1a, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It is
perfectly reliable and safe for children:
and little ones who have been weak
ened with Scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

ords in the extent of the work being
done and the richness of its ores The
advent of the American Smelling and
Refining company into this field,
through the medium of long time con-
tract of the FL Paso smelter to smeIt
the ore from the Chino Copper compa-
ny, has given the district added life. A
large concentrating plant will prepare
the copper ore for the FL Paso smelter,
where it is to be converted into blister
copper for the eastern refineries.

SPARGO'S RANCH HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Yesterday afternon about o'clock
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Spargo
until recently residents Of Durango
located on a ranch about two miles
from Mancos was burned to the
ground.
Mrs. Spargo, her three small chill
dren, and her mother, Mrs. Saunders
were alone in the house at the time
The fire caught around the stove pipe
and as q high wind was blowing at
the time it spread SO rapidly that
not only could nothing be done to
check its ravages but they could neith-
er save nothing, and barely got out
themselves, before their home was a
heap of smoking ruins.
The house was beautifully furnish
Ell and fitted up, SO the loss is very
heavy. We are not informed as to
the amount of loss, or in regard to
Insurance.
While getting the children out of
the house Mrs. Spargo was slightly
burned, but not injured seriously. Mrs.
Saunders is prostrated by the shock
and fright, and is said to be in a
serious condition.

A little over a year ago a Detroit
man, aged 45, traveller for q New York
hat manufacturer, made application
to Cleveland office speciality selling
organization for a road position. His
excuse for giving up his then present
position was that, by reason Of the
seasonable character of the hat line
he was able to travel but four months
in the year; he had been making $4,-
900 in commissions and he had in
mind that if he could travel more he
could make more. fr,

A JUDGES GOOD ADVICE.

Judge Goodnow of the Municipal
Court, in patching up domestic dis
pute the other day, made some re-
marks that were worthy of Solomon.
A woman had caused the arrest of
her husband who was charged with
having treated her cruelty. When her
testimony was given it appeared that
the man had been more sinned against
than SHINING. Having discharged the
prisoner, the judge turned to the COM
plainant and said:
Madame, go home and take your
husband with you. And in future try
to do less talking"
1t is probable that if all domestic
squabbles could be thoroughly inves-
tigated it would be found that many
or majority of them were due to
excessive talking on one side or the
other. Let it not be supposed that
we share the long standing belief
that women do all the scolding. There
arc many male scolds and Judge Good
now will, in his capacity of general
pncifier, find plenty of opportunity
for patching up quarrels by giving
To- men the same advice that he gave
to the woman.
When husbands and wives can over
come the habit of letting one word
lead to another there will be few di-
vorces, and grave judges will seldom
find it necessary to devote their val
liable time to the business of ending
quarrels which have grown out of triv-
ial Misunderstanding We are tempt
ed to suggest as companion piece
for the "God- Bless Our Home" mot
to the philosophical phrase: Don't
Scold."

PUEBLO PRESBYTERY.

The meeting of the Pueblo presby-
terry held this week in the Presbyte-
rian church was one that was crafty
ing to those interested. The attend
ance was larger than could scarcely
be hoped in view of the distance of
Durango from most of the churches.
The presbytery was opened Tues
day evening with sermon by the
retiring moderator, Rev. R. E. Chand-
Ter of Florence. After the sermon
Rev. Geo. S. barley of Alamosa was
elected moderator of this meeting.
Wednesday forenoon reports were
made of the organization Of four
Presbyterian churches in the dry farm
ing section east of Colorado Springs,
at Brandon, Rush, Arapahoe and
Wayne. A petition, signed by thirty
one residents of Cortez, asking for
the organization of a Presbyterian
church at that place was granted,
and committee appointed to organ
ize the church April Is.
The chapel at Animas City IL prob
ably the first church building erected
in southern Colorado, and was the
home of the first Presbyterian congre-
cation in this region. The presbytery
met in the chapel for q session Of an
hour on Wednesday evening. The
scenes Of early days were brought
back by number of historical remin-
iscences. It is an interesting coin
cidence that the moderator Of this

the Nashville Students gave show

We found Kansas in exactly the
same geographical location as we left
il some few months ago, local condi-
tions had changed a little with the
dust storms which have shifted to a
slight degree the topography of the
landscape, but the boundary lines had
not changed. The country was bad
ly in need Of rain and it got 1t while
we were there for, as soon as we saw
what was needed, we Immediately re-
tired to secluded spot and prayed for
rain and the fact that we got caught
out in the drenching shower, which
quickly followed our prayers, proved
that prayers, like explosives, are dan
Rerous in the hands of those not ac-
customed to their use.
There is very little wheat to be seen
in all that wheat belt, the dry weather
of the fall of 10 and the fearful dirt
storms Of this spring, have combined
to put the western Kansas wheat crop
on the bum. There is, however, still
time for a bumper crop to be har-
vested for the Kansas wheat never
does any good at all until it has been
killed few times.
The political situation in Kansas
appears to be quite a little better
than it is here. 1t is true that the
Kansas legislature failed to do any
thing of much consequence but it is
also true that they had sense enough
to adjourn and go home when the
proper time came. Of course Kan
sas has better chance than our own
dear Colorado has to do these wise
acts for they have governor who
runs the whole thing anyway. if there
is no law covering any point he wants
to reach he just sits down and makes
law with all the solemnity of a
Buff Cochin hen laying an egg and
then cackles just about as loudly, pro-
portionately, as the hen does. This
thing of having governor who will
admit, if crowded to it, that he knows
more than God Almighty and Theo-
dore Roosevelt combined is not with
out its advantages, we see.
The season is considerably more
backward in the land past Cumbres
than here, our spring appears to be
fully two. weeks in advance of the
season in and around the Denver and
northern Kansas regions. We saw no
green prairies or verdant fields from
the time we left Durango until we
returned and we were reasonably So
ber all the time.
