Orchestra Renditions Creditable-
 The several recitals of the Bistolfi orchestra, the membership of which is
 composed of Italians, under the aus pices of the local Elk lodge, were
 thoroughly enjoyable, each of their three performances being liberally ap- plauded On the evenings of Monday and Tuesday, this organization gave a concert at the Princess theatre, the Elks having charge of the entire performance, including the motion pictures, and, on the evening of Tues day, at the dance which followed the pictures. A large number were pres ent to enjoy the dance, which was unusually enjoyable because of the excellent music supplied by this or chestra, especially notable in skill be- ing the young violinist, Enrico Fur mani, his command with the instru- ment being unusual considering his; youthful age. On the evening of the preceding Saturday, this orchestra, which is lately of the Orpheum cir cult, played for the Elks at the lodge room of the latter, their entertain ment being highly appreciated by the lodge members and number of friends.

HIS WATCH CAME BACK.

Charles Craig Westerbrook is to- day the proud CD possessor of a much battered watch, still goir g, but of doubtful use, and through no fault of his own. He did his best to throw it away on a Southern Pacific train, but, like the proverbal cat, it came back, thanks. to the vigilance of sig nal maintainer and the railroads lost and found bureau.
 When Westerbrook bought the watch it was perfectly good timepiece. Something happened last week and it started to lose an hour or so every day, no matter how well he wound it or how carefully he reset 1t. Westerbrook is a patient man. But there is a limit in all things, Wednes- day, all out of breath, he ran into the San Mateo depot and jumped on what he thought was the $40 train to San Francisco. The conductor informed him that it was the 9:30 express.
 A brakeman in the vestibule saw him gasp and fume, and saw the watch go flying out between the cars. He heard Westerbrook say, there goes watch" and other words not reported 'Hey, he yelled to sig nal maintainer, J. A. Bunds, who was standing along the track. Get that watch. A fellow here just dropped it."
 And SO it came back. One hand was missing, and the crystal and works gathered up some twenty feet apart, were recovered. It was turned in to the division superintendent and sent to Westerbrook by express.
 Westerbrook has expressed his gratitude in the following letter: MT. T. Ahern,
 Division Supt., s. P. Co.
 q got the watch. Thanks. It IS running, though I believe not so badly as before You surely have a system when a man can't even throw any thing away without your recovering it for him. Reminds me of the suicide law. Can't kill yourself and cant throw your property away. Next time want to get rid of that wacth, I'll fry some other road and watch for a desert and a dark night.
 Very truly yours, Charles Craig Westerbrook P. S. Tell the signal maintaine1 he is a brick and so is the brakeman

through the main business portion of the street.
 Other Improvements Ordered by the
 Commission.
 The Commission has also ordered that the company increase the facili- ties at the pumping station few miles above Clifton, the changes there to be the installation of a fifty horse power gas engine, trip1ex deep well pump, with a capacity of eight hun dred gallons per minute.
 Changes Desired by the Company
 The changes in diameter of pipe lines as ordered by the Commission, desired by the company, in line with the needs of the property along the various lines affected, are as follows:
 An increase in the diameter of the three thousand feet line through Chase Creek from four to six inches, for distance of two thousand feet from the beginning near the Frisco bridge.
 The addition of seven hundred feet to the line to be run from the rail- way crossing in Hills Addition to the properties of the Standard Oil con- pany, the Commission evidently mak- ing a mistake concerning the dis tance between these two points, which is one thousand feet.
 An increase from four to six inches in the line crossing the Frisco bridge into East Clifton.

to use. I think these same engines will burn the Oklahoma crude oil just as it comes out of the ground, but they will not burn the crude Califor- mia oil. A conservative basis for es- timating the cost of engines is IT c per acre irrigated for each foot that the water has to be lifted. Thus for 100 acre tract where the lift is 50 feet the cost of engine will be $S5O
 In many instances where the farmers have not been well supplied with cash but have used good judgment with re- gard to their wells and pumping plants, they have succeeded in mak- ing a very small capital go a long way In general, however, it is desir- able to develop an ample water sup ply, to install good machinery, and to build a good engine house over it.

RECORD BREAKING
 MINERAL PRODUCTION
Output of the United States for 1912 was two and a Quarter Billion Dol Iars-Six Times the Value of the Production of Generation Ago.

The value of all minerals produced in the United States in 1912, accord ing to figures just compiled by Ed ward w. Parker, statistician of the United States Geological Survey, reached the record-breaking total of $2, ,243, ,630 1926. This is more than six times the value of the production in 1882, 30 years ago. During that pc rior the population has not quite dou- bled, but the per capita output of the mines has increased from ST. .27 to $23.47
 During these three decades the value of the output of some minerals has made a striking increase. The value of the pig-iron product, for in stance has increased from 106 to APO million dollars; copper from 16 to 205 million dollars; gold from 12 to 93 million dollars; cad from 12 to 37 million dollars; zinc from 146 to 695 million dollars; petroleum from "A to 163 million dollars; natural gas from 215 thousand to S4 million dollars; cement from $3,6OO,0O0 to 69,OOO, ,O0O.
 Still more striking illustrations of the growth of the mineral industry in the United States are the figures show ing that, while in 1880 the total min eral production in the United States was valued at $364,000,000, in 1912 the value of the pig iron alone was S420, 100000, while the value of the coal production for 1912 was nearly double the total mineral output of 30 years ago. In 1880 the value of the products was approXim ately S1 100000 a day; in 1912 it was oves $6,000.000 a day.

COST OF AN IRRIeATINe PLANE

Agricultural Experiment Station. Tucson, Arizona, Nov. 29, 1913.
 An inquiry has just been received from J. W. W. of Kansas in regard to the cost of installing irrigating plants on both small and large farms, Prof. G. E. P. Smith, Irrigating En- gineer of the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, answers as fol- lows: T am pleased to furnish you the following suggestions based on Arizona practice. The cost of wells is exceedingly variable on account of the element Of chance involved, for in some localities the good water bear ing material lies at shallow depths; at other times it is found very deep. Sometimes the good gravels are in Streaks or lenses, representing old water ways; sometimes the material is like a sheet, so that whenever one puts down a well he is quite sure to get good water supply In some in stances excellent wells have been de- veloped at cost of not over $200, while at other places $2,0oo has been spent on a well without obtaining good water supply. always recommend for localities where the good gravels are shallow, that the well curb be built of reinforced concrete and sunk as an open caisson, while if the wa ter gravels are very deep the well should be drilled. The cost of pumps and piping may be estimated on a basis of S3 per acre (afalfa) irrigated Cheaper pumps can be purchased, but it is false economy to buy them. It is of greater importance to have well built pump than to have a fine engine to drive the pump. I should recommend the California pump man. ufacturers since they have had great experience along pump irrigation lines. Engines cannot be estimated on an acreage basis, but depend on the pumping lift also. Gasoline en- zines are not being purchased any more for pump irrigation in Arizona, for the new types of oil burning en- zines which utilize low gravity resi- dual distillates are coming rapidly in-

ing plants at a cost of over $5.OOO each. The Santan wells on the Gila river Indian Reservation cost S4.OOO apiece for the wells alone, but each well yields a water supply sufficient for a thousand acres of land. The cost of pumping is even harder to es- innate than the cost of the wells, and installation, for the pumping cost de bends not alone on the quantity of water and the lift, but also upon the character and efficiency of the ma chinery, and upon the fuel or other power that is used. I have figured above on a fuel cost of 5c a gallon. However, I feel free to assert that with a good yielding we'll and a good plant one can afford to pump water for alfalfa where the lift is 75 feet, and to even greater heights for vegetables, orchards, and other high priced crops.

TEAMS OF CLIFTON AND MORECI ID PLAY ASSOCIATION
 FOOT BALL
Interesting Game is Promised for Christmas Day Between Natives of Britain Residing in Clifton
 and M0renci

The Association foot ball teams re- siding in Clifton and Morenci have concluded arrangements for the play ing of game on Christmas Day, prob ably at Morenci, though the place has not yet been definitely decided.
 For several years the teams of the two towns have been organized, and have played several games according to the rules of the Old Country that were very interesting. Some weeks since Clifton and Morenci matched game that was played on the Clifton grounds, the result being a tie of three scores. Because of the many residents of this section, who through British nativity, take keen interest in the Association game, the coming game promises to be well attended.

FIVE GREATEST MINERAL
 STATES.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and West Virginia are credited with over 40 per cent of the total mineral pro- duction of the United States. Penn sylvania outranks all other States producing nearly 25 per cent of the total, West Virginia comes second, Illinois third, and Ohio fourth Cali fornia, with no standing as a producer of pig iron, iron ore, or coal, stands fifth in rank among the States, owing to it's heavy production of gold and petroleum

First Sncw of the Season Falls This section of the state this week has seen the first snow fall of the season. While the fall has been very light in Clifton, yet at Morenci it was much heavier and at points in the high mountain ranges above Clifton, the fall is very heavy, in places averaging many inches. At Morenci the fall was about three inches. The winter season has be- gun earlier than usual this year, and indications are that the whole of the season will be colder than normally.

STATE WILL SOON BEGIN BUILDING
 OF HIGHWAY
Will be Portion of CIifton-Duncan Road-Three Miles of Best Con-
 struction-Future Extension.

Contracts will soon be let by the Greenlee County Board of Supervisors on behalf of the state, for the build ing of three miles of State highway,
 beginning at the foot of Wards can- yon, in the southern SurburbS of Clifton, and passing by the new smell
 ter of the Arizona Copper company,
 and ending at point of connection with the present road from Clifton to Duncan.
 This construction will obviate the use of about three miles of the pres ent Clifton-Duncan road in favor of the three miles to be constructed. The new road will be built under the direction of the states engineer ing corps, with funds provided by the state, which funds came from the gen. eral road fund collected by the state from each of it's counties. The state flaw concerning the question of the states general road fund is that each county shall pay into the fund an amount in proportion to it's taxable value, and that the money shall be expended in like proportion, thus giv- ing to each county, for state roads to be constructed within the countyfs borders, an equitable distribution. Under these provisions, Greenlee County has large fund to it's credit, and the building of the three miles of state highway will be paid from this fund.
 The road will be of the best con- struction, with a width of full six teen feet, graded and with bridges placed at all necessary points, mak- ing this road, as are other state high ways, a model in road construction.
 Bids will be received by the Super visors in January and the contract will be let within a short while from that date, making the beginning of construction early in the new year. It S estimated that probably between fifty and one hundred men will be employed in the construction.
 Possible Future Extension.
 It is regarded as entirely probable that this line of highway is only the beginning of a line that will finally be built from Clifton to Solomonvi1le, passing by way of the Gillard Hot Springs, the expectation being that as future funds, from the same source become available, the state will util- ize them in this connecting road be- tween the county seat towns of Cliff ton and Solomonville, such being the policy of the office of the state engin- eer.

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-01-18
AS OTHERS SEE US
WHAT CHURCH IS THIS?

Having read an article in The Cath
olic Bulletin recently on "The Revival
of Vespers" and also notice in the
Saturday Dispatch that there would
be Vespers and Benediction in a GER
tain Catholic church in st. Paul last
Sunday afternoon a stranger wendell
his way to the church indicated, reach
ing it at the hour designated. About a
dozen persons were scattered through
the church. At first the stranger
thought he might have made a mis-
take; possibly the service was over
A glance at the choir loft where the
organist was pacing impatiently to and
fro caused him to wait. At five min
utes past the hour, an altar boy came
out and removed the altar cards and
cloth. He was followed by a priest who
brought out the Ostensorium. No
candles were lighted and the stranger
was unable to decide whether the peo-
pie were waiting for the clergy or the
clergy for the people. At ten minutes
past the hour, the electric lights
were turned on in the sanctuary. the
organ began to play, and several
acolytes and two priests took their
places in the sanctuary. The five
psalms were then sung according to
the correct Gregorian tones, the verses
being chanted alternately by one male
and two female voices in the organ
loft, the antiphons being recited be-
fore each psalm on a monotone by the
celebrant. All the responses were
sung correctly except the one after the
"Benedicamus;" in which, however,
the chanters merely followed the ex-
ample of the celebrant The proper
hymn was sung and the Magnificat
was correctly chanted, each verse be-
ing separately intoned and the mono
syllables and foreign words lest and
S1on) were sung on the rising inflec-
ton instead of the falling one at the
madiant. Then followed the Ave
Maris Stella, the prayers and com
memorations, the entire Vespers occu-
plying just twenty-seven minutes.
The pastor then preached an admir-
able sermon on the wondrous gift of
faith, which lasted just fifteen min
utes. The altar candles were then
lighted and Benediction followed. The
20 Salutaris" and "Tantum Ergo
were sung in Gregorian as recently
prescribed by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop and several voices, both male
and female scattered through the con-
gregation, which had increased by this
time to about sixty persons, joined
rather feebly in the singing. The en-
tire service occupied fifty-five min
utes, including the singing of the
''Laudate" at the end, sung to the
sixth Gregorian tone.
