or RAILROADS.

In the confusion attendant upon the closing days of the last session of con gress, it has partly escaped notice thas a law was Elaced on the statute books lroyiding for a valuation of all rail ways by the interstate commerce com mission.
 According to the latest statistics available. the book cost of read and equipment of the railroads of the United States is over SlG,OO0,OOO, 900 and there are other investments which must be valued which will bring the total to over s21.oo0. .oOO,Oo
 How much this valuation will cost and how long it will take to make it are questions that cannot be ans wered of hand. We have just received large volume from the census bu- reaa giving the financial statistics of cities as of 1909 which Is now of course worthless, except as matter of record, How much a physical valu- ation of the railroads oi the United States Will be worth when completed under government supervision there fore is a question
 It will cost the government a vast sum of money and the railroads many millions in time and money to com rlete this task and vhen it is done, we venture the prediction that neither the public nor the railroads will be satisfied with it.
 The law iustructs the commission to ascertain the original cost to date, the cost of reproduction new and the cost of reproduction less depreciation, and to present in it's report and anal ysis of the methods by which these several costs are obtained and the reason for the difference between them if any.
 The commission is also to ascertain and report separately all other ele- ments O. value, il any. This would in- clude allowances for franchises, and going value, il the commission decides any such allowances should be in cIuded.
 It also contains a provision which Will permit a carrier in case of an appeal from the commission to the CoGr,s, 10 attack the valuation made by Che commission and to present evi- dence to the court to show that the commission has erred in not giving weight to elements of value which the carrier believes should be in. clpded.
 Should the court uphold the con tention Of the carrier. it wiH refer the matter back to the commission with instructions 60 revise it's valuation so as to include the omitted elements.
 No one who has studied the rail rosd situation believes that rates should be based solely upon physical valuation. Indeed il is difhcult to see how they can be if rates between com petitive points on two different roads must be the same.
 So long as the personal clement in railroading enters into the question. t win always be true that one rail road can make large profits on a rate which will permit it's competitor to earn just it's fixed charges. In such Q situation physical valuation can play no part
 l. IS easily conceivable thSt two railroads serving common points might have widely different valuations and that a rate vhioa was based on the physical valuation Of one would be ,so high as 10 give the other an opportuBity to make much larger profits.
 Rates are today based largely on the value Of the service rendered to the shipper and rates which migh be fair when based on physical yslua

AID ID GOOD ROADS
Federal Authorities Are Anx- ious to Help in the Cause - Ask Cooperation on Part of State in Plan.

Secretary Houston Of the depart. ment of agriculture says that the state and federal governments should work together for highway improve ment in order that a large proportion Of the money annually spent for road construction may not be wasted.
 In his own department the office of public roads has been demonstrating the value of proper road building Dy the construction of certain object-les- son roads, and the forest service is carrying out his idea of national and state cooperation in road building. The law requires that 10 per cent of the gross receipts from the national forests shall be spent in the states in which the forests are situated. This money is expended for road in- movement under direct control of the secretary of agriculture.
 The amount appropriated under this act, based on the receipts of the

Mike Foudy, well known citizen who is just back from a visit to the coast, has turned real estate booster for. Richmond Junction Heights, on San Francisco bay and his friends fear they are going to lose him from the mining country ranks.
 Mir. Anderson, who is representing Richmond Junction Heights here and has an office with Hogan & Seed ran across Mir. Foudy yesterday. with re- suit of mutual pleasure. MT. Foudy was on the Richmond Junction lands a few weeks ago and. he took advan- tage of his meeting with Mir. Ander- son to look over his plot and make purchase of two lots, with the like, lihood that he will invest still further.
 Richmond Junction Heights has all California lots distanced, in the opin- ion Of both MT. Anderson and Mir. Foudy. A great future is assured the locality and property purchased there now must increase greatly in value. Mir. Anderson has disposed Of a num- Der of the lots here during a visit with NJ J. Brophy and is confident the district will take many more of them.

MASON ADDITION IS
 ATTRACTING INTEREST

Some easement of the need of toe district for more opportunity for in dividual building enterprise has been brought by the sale underway of lots in the Mason Addition in Tombstone canyon by the Bisbee-Naco Water Go.
 Since these lots came on the mar ket a few weeks ago there have been a number of sales. Nearly all pur. chasers will build homes. Some have already started in.
 Mason Addition is in reality one of the choicest investment spots in the district. It is on the street car line and in the natural center of what in a few years vii! be the choice resi-, dence district.
 Property improvements in Tomb stone canyon the last two years have been most marked. There are many beautiful homes there now and many in the way of making.

national forests for the fiscal year ending June 90. 1913. Is s234. 4.G2SGS. From the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent road item, there is an ad. ditional $134.S3l1O which is still available.
 In administering the ten per cent road fund, forest officers charged with the actual plans and expendi- lures in the nelghborhood of their forests have. in almost all cases s. cured an equal or larger cooperative fand from state authorities for the building of certain pieces of road.
 With the money thus expended many important roads are being built or put in repair. One on the Wyom- ing national forest. six miles long makes accessible to farmers a large body of timber and opens up a re- zion of great scenic beauty. Tn northwestern Arizona, part of tho fund will Do used in connection with the Bright Angel road. in- portant because it makes accessible to tourists the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In one place the ocean to-ocean highway crosses the Apache national forest, Arizona, and OF this project the forest service and the local authorities co-operated enthusi- astically. On the Florida national forest in western Florida steel bridges and graded roads have. under the stimulus of this fund, taken the place Of corduroy. bog and sand.
 This federal road fund is now avail able in all national forest states o: the west. Just as fast as returns come in, the forestry officials say, similar fund will become available a states in which eastern natiopel for ests are being secured.

 reasoning that these should be direct. ly proportionate.
 upon careful thought, it will be seen that while a rise in the price cf the metal has a direct bearing upon the advance to which copper stocks are entitled, it is not directly proportional to the latter. The re- verse method of reasoning. however. is not uncommon amongst copper in. vestors. but if due consideration ia given the subject, the fallacy of this is evident. For example, the recent rise in copper metal from IA to 163 cents per pound represents an ad, vance of approximately 1S9t. Based on the reasoning of direct proportion, and assuming that copper stocks were selling on & 14-cent basis. shares would be entitled to an 1sT- advance in quotations. This method is obviously incorrect, and the rise ,e which stocks would be entitled would in reality be far greater thal the corresponding advance.
 The real basis of comparison De tween the price of copper metal and stocks should be the cost of pro ducing copper per pound. Take. for example, a mine producing 10000,00O pounds of copper at a net cost ot 10 cents per pound. With the n'e'al selling at 14c. there would be profit of 1 cents per pound. or total earn ings of siOO 900 per annum.
 Let us see what takes place with an advance in the metal. With cop per selling at 1s4c., the profit per pound would become 63 cents, and annual earnings would be S650.o00 In other words. while the price of cop, per advanced 1SGo the earnings of this particular mine increased 62ec.
 From the above example it will be seen that even a slight advance in the price of copper metal from q giy' en quotation may result in a very large increase in the company's earn, ing power. It is obvious that the higher the cost of production Is per pound of copper-provided that sh!s figure is below the selling price oi the metal-the greater will be the in crease in earnings for any given ad vance in copper.
 Computations which we have madl on the cost of producing copper q thirty-seven of the largest copper properties of the United States, Can ada and Mexico for last year, say Thompson. Towle & O., indicate that the average cost of producing this copper was approximately s.5c. pei pound. Based on this cost of pro duction, the rise of 2Iac., from price of l4c. per pound, has resulted in in creasing the earnings Of the average copper property 55Tc. From a retro spective view of the market action in both copper stocks and the meta during the last several months, | would seem that the rise in copper metal has not been fully reflected IT the advance in copper stocks.

Received by L. J. oyerlock)

BOSTON, Oct. lS.-The small ral- ly of yesterday was followed by a further advance today. The buying was in good volume and losses were easily recovered The local coppers showed a better demand without much change in prices. Advices on copper are bullish and another heavy buying movement seems near at hand. The whole market is extreme Iy narrow and shows no definite trend either way and there is noth- ing to encourage speculation at pres ent. We recommend investment buying of either the coppers or the railroads around the present level. Total sales New York 177.500. Mon ey SIP. Metal 16 5-S to 3-4.

The Palace.

There is little or no doubt but what
the Palace is showing today one of
the finest picture programs ever seen
in this city. The offering is made up
of variety that bids fair to meet
with the approval of all classes.
Pretty Mabel Normand surrounded by
the ever popular Keystone company
of funmakers. is seen in two of those
we'll known keystone comedies that
are in distinct class by themselves.
The Professors Girl and "A
Tangled Affair" are the titles of these
two features. When the Light
Fades" is an American drama consid-
cred by critics to be the most preten-
tious offering ever released by this
we'll known firm. Another new and
impressive subject is Girl Artist and
Dog" a Majestic picture of consider
able note. All in all the program is
unusually attractive and no doubt will
attract the usual capacity business
that has been in vogue at this theatre
since Mutual films have been installed

Kramer is one of the most active and
insistant T. P. As in Richmond. He
is either working at T. P. Assn. or
buying timber all the time. He is
president of the c. & W.. Kramer Co,
very successful firm of wide inter

National convention and is the only
man on the ticket up to date that has
not asked for the honor before. Here's

tween the north and the south 1t is
said the story is of war, yet only as
la background for a smaller drama
within its grim setting.
The scenes are laid in Virginia, a
few miles south of Richmond, at a
period when the northern army was
slowly but surely closing in on the
southern capital; when Dixie al
ready doomed to defeat and failure,
fought only upon the courage of her
men and the loyalty and love of simple
humanity, which, in spite of a bitter,
bloody conflict, existed on both sides
of a divided country. The authors
design, it has been announced, has
been to show no prejudice or partiality
to either the blue or gray.
In the supporting cast are names
well known to the theatre going
public Helen Scott is the leading
lady; Hughe Jeffrey plays the Federal
general; Judson Langell will be seen
in the role of Lieut.. Col. Morrison,
which was played last year by Dustin
Farnum. The title role will be por-
trayed by little Viola Savoy, who is
said to be one of the cleverest child
actresses on the American stage.

1.-THE Bohemian Girl"

The Aborn Opera company's extra
ordinary production Of The Bohemian
Girl will be seen at the Gennett
Theater tonight This organization is
said to have a remarkable cast of prin-
cipals, immense chorus, and corps de
ballet, in all numbering upwards of
one hundred people. besides which the
Messrs. Aborn promise an elaborate
and massive scenic environment
which, while built from the same
models as last seasons productions,
are entirely new. The "bigness" of
this organization may best be realized
when it is learned that it requires
two cars TO transport the company
scenery and accessories. Occasional
difficulty was experienced last season
with local orchestras, because of the
fewness of rehearsals, to get satisfac.
tory orchestral support. This season
as the special orchestra is q part of
the Aborn company this fault is rem
dered impossible.

The Murray.

The Murray.
One of the best singing acts that
the Murray has had this season is
that on the bill this week. The young
woman, who sings ballads and old
fashioned songs so charmingly has a
lyric soprano of unusual range and
purity of tone and is warmly received
upon each appearance. The cutting
short of the appearance OF the little
girl act put the management in straits
as it was almost impossible to find
another act to takes it's place on such
short notice. The balancing act which
is now on, however, is an excellent
one. 1t was the only one that could
be found in the booking agencies of
Chicago that was free to come on
such short notice and the management
of the Murray took it although it was
somewhat of the character of an aero
batic act with which the bill started
out. The Murray did the best it could
to make good under the embarrassing
circumstances.
