ARIZONA THE EXCEPTION.
General Decline in Mining Business Throughout Country Except
 Arizona.

l According to the Engineering and Mining Journal there has been a gen. eraI decline in the mining business throughout the country and Mexico, with the exception of Arizona. This state shows an increase in the out put of its precious metals, both in copper and gold particularly. In the production of copper Arizona is in the lead, with a good prospect of keeping in that position for years to come. The Journal attributes the decline to economic and information al factors and gives three of them as follows:
 ''First-The sitution in Mexico which has seriously reduced the mark ct for mining supplies, the employ ment of mining engineers, and the return on capital invested there.
 "Second-The exhaustion of easily discovered, easily developed ore re- sources of the prospector and of the mining operator of small means. This is not a sudden change, but is one khat has been progressive through many years. Ore discoveries were many and frequent in the '60s and '7Os, fewer and less frequent in the sos, and still more so in the sos.
 Third state of the worlds finances Never since the crisis of 1907 has there been anything a well sustained boom in business in the United States. After the recovery from the slump in 1908 and 1909 there were fitfu1 periods of activity and speculation, but nothing of long duration or of character to produce a substantial overflow into specula- tion in mining.
 The chief reason for the so- called dullness in mining are of this order, we believe" says the Journal, "and the troubles are not of a kind for which any remedy is to be found in congress, or in legislation by any body. In the meantime the affairs of the producing mines are not dull or pressed and they are employing more men and using more material than the average of recent years.

WHAT A RIVER CAN DO.

Notwithstanding that railways
new skirt both banks, from source to
mouth, the Ohio still floats an annual
commerce of 100000 tons, and 80
FER cent of the commerce that goes
down the Mississippi to New Orleans
comes out Of the Ohio. This results
from the large shipments of coal from
Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
which are made in barges towed by
powerful sternwheel steamboats,, OF
which the Sprague is the largest.
The banner trip of this steamer,
made from Louisville to New Orleans,
was $500 tons. 1t is not unusual
for steamers to bring into the Gin
c.nnati market upon a freshet 4
quarter of million tons of coal and
finished steel products within week
To move this quantity by rail would
require $500 cars of as tons each
r,ade up into 146 trains Of 80 cars
esch, drawn by as many locomotives
No railroad, however well equipped
could perform this service inside O.
sixty days without excluding its reg
ular traffic, to say nothing of its in
ability to assembly such quantity
of traffic at either end of it's terminal

REAL FRIENDS.

Most of those whom we call friends
are not friends. They are to the hu-
man life what the barnacle is to the
boat. How many of the men who are
smiling on you today could you count
on tomorrow if adversely suddenly
struck you and calumny pointed her
yillianous finger at you? You would
find to your great disappointment
that the majority of these who arc
fawning over you today in your sue
cess are no asset to your happiness;
they are liabilities so heavy that
many a human soul would be bank
rupt in trying to carry them.
1t is also very certain that many
times those whom we have least
counted our friends are the real
friends. There still live friendships
Of the Damon and Pythias type but
they are scarce. The friend who is
true to you in your absence, VINO
plans for your bctterment without
your knowledge is the true friend
who would come to your relief dur
ing the most dreadful hours Of hui
man existance, and too often we dt
rot recognize these friends when W.
are basking in the cheating smiles o.
fair-weather friends.
Little children select friends witt
greater wisdom than do grown PEG
pie. They more often detect shan
than their elders, and more often ar
cble to separate the gold from tn
dross.
How we admire the unselfish frien'
the friend who does not value u
for what he can get out OF us, bu
him upon whose friendship we ma
make oyerdrafts in the darkest hour
of life.
There are some such, both in busl
ncss ard in society, but they are Ia
mentally scarce.-Orlando Sentinel

CHARACTER IN BUILDING.

The type of building, both resi-
dence and business, that has been
going on for the past two or three
years in Lakeland, shows steady ami
decided improvement. This tendency
towards better building shows In
creasing confidence in the growth OF
this city and proves that men OF
Judgment and good business ability
for only that kind, as rule, ever
get into a position where it is pos
sible for them to build-are not
afraid to stake their money upon
Lakeland's future.
Every man who builds should put
up the best building he can afford
and that is warranted by the pur-
poses it is to be used for. 1t may be
that an ordinary shed-like affair.
which could be cheaply constructed,
might serve present requirements, il
viewed strictly from utilitarlan
standpoint and in selfish light; but
The builder owes something to the
city which has given him sufficient
business to justify building, ara
he should contribute something to
the architectural beauty OF the COM
munity, and to the forward move
nlent that every crcditable new
building accelerates. In this con-
nec,ion the Sarasota Sun makes thu
following timely comment:
"The,e is no time man is at his

PERMANENT SOIL FERTILITY.

The iron that is required for plant
life is abundant in most all soils, es-
pecially SO in Florida, but is often
locked up in the form Of fanatics and
humus that are not readily liberated
without oxidation, hence the neces-
sity Of blowing and stirring well to
firing in contact with the air. Where
thing is properly done and the water
drawn off the air enters and does its
work. This is more or less true OF
all other mineral matter entering
into plant life.
We have spoken of the work of soil
tactaria, in our other articles. But l
went to call your attention to some
of the known conditions of their
glowth, functions, etc.
1t is now we'll known that the
Garth is occupied by myriads of these
organisms, which arc alive and per-

If he only knew it, and works for
his benefit as much as do the rains

Hence, our aim should be to study
we'll the conditions favorable to their
propagation and growth.
They seem to thrive best where
there is present plenty of humus,
phosphorus, potash and lime. The
humus seems to be the propogatins

food.

Eighth avenue, from an errand. she
found the house filed with 20 of her
girl friends, who had come to give
her farewell party before her de-
parture for her new home in Kanka-

promptu program, in Which each one
either recited, sang or played or gave
some stunt, and which proved most
amusing. They were served with re,
freshments, and the delightful evening
came to close only too soon. The
hostess was presented with a book

Williams, until her parents are settled
