TRANSVAAL WORKS
 Oh THROUGH TALK
 OF WAR TROUBLES
Property Near Cumpas Is Employing Eeventy
 in ltS Mines
ONLY WAITS RAILROAD

II. '. Beauchamp, manager of the Transyaal mines in the Cumpas dis trict, who arrived here two days ago on business will return to Cumpas today. He says that up to the time he left there everything was peace full and quiet, with nothing to dis turb anyone save the reports that came down from the border about the activity of the bandits around Cananea and later at the Mababi ranch. He said that there has been little laWlessness in the Cumpas country recently and that there is apparent general satisfaction with present conditions says the Douglas International.
 The working force of the Trans vaal mines now amounts to seventy men and work has been continuous during all the depression of the last three years. The increase in the price of copper looks mighty good 10 the owners of the Transvaal and production would come at once with the building of the railroad from Nacozari to Cumpas. which has been expected to be undertaken in the near future Mir Beauchamp fears that the recent revolutionary out break in Mexico will delay this work. The Southern Pacific has discontinued all construction work in Mexico and it's resumption will no doubt depend on the conditions of the country.
 Recently the Southern Pacific sent one of their engineers to the Cumpas country and he made a close examination of the country for the purpose of gathering reliable data as to what might be expected in the way of tonnage for the rail road when it reached Cumpas. This engineer was MT. Cummings, and he was in the Cumpas country for ter days, visiting all the mining camps in the sectisn.

 We have not had a doctor in the house during all the , years that we have been using Grape-NUts food. Before we began. however, we had ''the doctor habit and scarcely a week went by without call on our physician.
 When our youngest boy arrived, , years ago, I was very much run down and nervous, suffering from in- digestion and almost continuous head aches. l was not able to attend to my ordinary domestic duties and was so nervous that I could scarcely con- trol myself. Under advice I took to Grape-Nuts.

Passing of Pocket Miner
Mining and Engineering Wo rld.

Joaquin Miller, the poet Of the Sierras,' once said 'The genuine pocket hunter. like the other men of the old west. is part of d story that has been told He nas struck his last trace, and banned his last color" The pocket hunters coyote diggin's. " route to richer fields. They pointed The way 10 ledge-ribbed hills, from which millions are now being extract ed
 Pocket hunting in the early days was followed as a business. and the pocket hunter was proud of being Q professional man. He was no ordin- ary quartz hunter Of placer digger. He cared naught but for the free gold. His was an art learned only by years ui hard experience. He was not a capitalist. His stock in trade was his faithful pack animal. his grub kit, shovel and pan. Pocket hunting was most absorbing pursuit. as any Gid veteran of the trail will afirm Many died rich at the game. many others died poor; and a great number labor ed assiduously for years without strik. ing trace: but they lived and worked and passed the seasons in golden hope.
 Pockets were found in California and southern oregon during the palmy days that yielded from Sl ,O00 to SlO0. 000 each. The Devil pocket ot So nora. Cal. contained $500. 600 and was emptied in five weeks The Gold Hill pocket Of southern OresOn. gave up S4jO.OOO.

The method of operation followed ly the pocket hunter was very simple When he found favorable ground he halted and struck camp. usually near a stream. He followed the stream and ranned the dirt. washing each pan down carefully, and eagerly scanning the residue for cOlOrs. If a little string of yellow followed closely at the heels of the black sand, across the bottom Of tine pan, h;s griZZled features frightened with a smile. That little string of yellow was colors >of gold and the black sand to which it closely chung. its inseparable com paniOn. II the pocket hunter struck good colors he banned again and again near about and if the colors grew better with each pan he knew he was on trace. which if he followed unerringly. would lead him to a pock- ct
 Once on a trace there was no stop ping him. Here was where the real Knowledge Of the profession manifest ed itself Tracing was hard work. and it had to be done systematically and intelligently. No two pockets were alike. Each one present problems peculiar to itself, and which had to be solved entirely independent of all previous ones. Such things as prece- dents were not part of the pocket hunting game.

FIRE IN
 WEST YANKEE MINE
 MORENCI REPORTED
Blaze in Lower Levels Burns Timbering
 and GallowS
CARS FALL TO DEPTHS

MORENCI. Feb. 27:-One of the most serious fires that ever visited MOrenci vas discovered in the West
 Yankee mine shaft at S:30 Monday night. by night watchman Pat Deylin
 who noticed smoke issuing from the mouth of the shaft. The blaze orig mated in one of the lower levels. The lire department responded to the a. larm in quick time and mp to the-time of it's appearance on the scene no flames were visible, only a dense vol tune Of smoke issued from the shaft collar
 About the time the hose was coup led and ready for the attack on the fire, flames broke out Of the collar of the shaft and it soon became evident that the entire timbering from the collar 10 a considerable depth as well as the gallows frame was doomed to destruction
 The gallows frame fell in a few minutes after the flames reached the well-seasoned structure that burned like kindling wood. The cages and gears of the hoist went down with a
 rush to the depths.
 The blaze was communicated to the assay office and ore chutes but the flames were eXtinguished after con siderable damage had been done. The electric feed wires were burned, cut ting off the power from the concen-
 ratOr for three hours.
 Failing to gain headway against the fire from the top. hose was brought into the lower levels through the tunnels and a large force of men were put at work bulkheadiDg the entrance 10 the various stOpes. The heat was so intense and the fumes so noXicus that the men had to work short shifts frequently relieved Al noon Thurs day it was believed that the bulk heading had confined the fire to the
 immediate vicinity of the West Yan- kee shaft, and one or two stopes nearest the shaft. The fire is still
 smoldering and the full extent Of the damage can not now be determined.
 Air was admitted to the lower lev els as an experiment on Thursday, but the smolderiug timbers quickly burst into flames and the vents were again closed. A track was then laid 1cross the shaft mouth and carloads of tailings and dirt were dumped into the shaft to choke it and smother the
 ire below.
 When the fire is conquered the shaft will be retimbered and put gain in commission.

 The hoist house, engine and boil CTS were not injured and cOmpara- lively little damage was done above ground.
 The loss to the company will be but the accident will not affect the copper output or number of men employed but little, if any.
 The origin of the fire is not known, but generally attributed to a lighted candle carelessly placed by some em- p!oye. No lives were lost and no per son seriously injured, though many of the workmen were rendered un- conscious through the smoke and fumes.

Claim the Oldest Language.

It Is asserted by the Basques that their language. which bears a strong resemblance to certain North Ameri- can dialects, is the oldest one In the world. and was spoken by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. They also boast that it is the most difficult of all languages to learn. According to a native legend. the devil lived among the Basques for seven years, and dur Ing that time learned only two words of their tongue. bal" and "ez," "yes" and mo-" and these two words he for got within an hour of leaving the country.

Sun-Worn Curtains.

In cases where a pair of curtains must do for another season and they are too sun-worn in the middle to serve, cut away the sun-worn portions and sew across, then where sewn use a cord or ribbon, and. if neither of these are at hand, make a couple of straps of old linen, and use them to tie the curtains back at the place they are spiieed. Old linen bows, well starched. are neat.

ALL BOOSTERS FUR DISTRICT
 ARE WANTED AT THE MEETING
Formation of Club to Foster Local Interests Is Object Planned for Accomplishment al City Hall This Even ing and All Are Urged O Attend

Boosters from Bisbee. boosters from Lowell. boosters from Warren will gather in the city hall tonight. All who have the best interests of the Warren District at heart. whether they be business men or property holders and no matter whether their holdings be great or small are invit- ed and urged to attend this mass meeting which is called for the pur- pose of forming a club that will boost and boost and then boost some more for the great Warren District. urge its advantages home to the outside world, give it the attention which it deserves and make it still better and greater than it is today Every man with anything of the booster instinct should attend this meeting at the city hall tonight.
 Opportunities Are At Hand
 There is every opportunity for a club such as is proposed to do good work" said one of those who has been prominent in the present agita- tion for such an association yester- day. This district has been satis- fled for the past few years to hold its own and this it has done, but the time has now come to go ahead, to resume the upward trend and to no longer be satisfied 10 remain as we are. The time for progress has come. With metal down there were discour- agements that had to be met but now conditions are all encouraging. There are good metal prices and the promise Of better, there are more men employ ed and there is the promise of still further increases in pay rolls. Be sides this there is much 10 be done, that needs doing and has no one to push its accomplishment Bes3des this we have now statehood As a territory We were kept back, state hood has attracted the attention Of the whole nation to AritOna. it re- mains but to focus some part of that gaze upon the Warren District. There is much that We can do without pub licity and there is much more that We can do with publicity. If there were nothing else just at this time the matter of the transcontinental highway along the border would be enough. There is something that is waiting for us to turn our hands to- not to mention number of c1her matters that are all important to the district

the islands with only such disturb anees as might be expected in any community. and having no other than purely local significance. Railroads
 Railroad construction has progress ed steadily during the year. The main lines in the islands Of Panay and Cebu are in full operation and only short branch lines remain to be laid
 In Luzon the work on the north ern lines is nearly complete and the construction on the lines south of Manila is being rapidly pushed All portions in operation have proved un- eXpeCtediy productive from the start The opening of these lines had an almost magical effect in stimulating industry and fostering production. The territory trayersed. which had been abandoned. has experienced an agricultural awakening. The province or Batangas shipped 10000 tons Of oranges the first year.
 Health
 Health conditions have been better than ever before. Cholera has been a lesser menace than during any prev ious year since it's first appearance after American occupation and no other dangerous epidemic has gained headway in the islands. Extended in yestigations have resulted in discov- cries which have enabled the health officials successfully 10 combat with a number of dread diseases, notably beriberi. which has wholly disappear ed in government institutions. The number of lepers is steadily decreas- ing in response to preventive meas. ures and treatment.
 The general hospital. which is now in successful operation, is said 10 be the best arranged and best equipped hospital in the Orient. Free dispen- saries and free medical, obstetrical, and surgical service for the poor are beginning to play an important part in improving health conditions at Manila
 Education
 The increase in school attendance has been very satisfactory, the av- craze attendance being over 50 per cent of the 600 900 children enrolled. The public school system. establish ed and conducted on the lines of that in the states has met with great pub lie favor with the people. They also appreciate the work of the university oi the Philippines as shown by the fact that 57 per cent of the high school graduates have entered this university which is twice as great as the proportion of high school graduates in the United States who enter col lege.
 Special emphasis is now placed on practical agricultural and industrial training in order to meet the needs of the people and improve the eco homie conditions now existing.
 Postal Savings Bank
 The growth of the postal savings bank since it's creation has been steady and healthy. At the close Of the fiscal year 1911. the gain in Fili- pino depositOrs was more than IT per cent over the previous year. and more than so per cent of all open &C., counts were held by Filipinos, as com pared with 65 per cent on June 30, 1910. There was an increase of 97 per cent in the number of deposits made during the year and 26 per cent in the amount of the same. In number the withdrawals increased 36 per cent and in amount 20 per cent
