MINES SHOW
 IMPROVEMENT
Editor of Iron Ore, Here With Capt. Greenway; Finds Industry is Making Great Progress in the Southwest

Captain John C. Greenway, general manager of the Calumet {2 Arizona in terests and George A. Hewitt, editor of Iron Ore, published at Ishpeming, Mich, arrived yesterday afternoon from Ray where they had been to inspect the mines and mining conditions of that section. They will remain in Phoenix for a short visit before returning to Bisbee.
 Iron Ore, of which MT. Hewitt is the editor and publisher, is not only pa per of general news but in mining mat ters, especially copper mines and the mines of northern Michigan, it is an authority. MT Hewitt comes to Ari zona from time to time to familiariZe himself with the mining industry here and the changing conditions and it is on such a vicit that he is now here He expects to remain for some six weeks longer which will make his stay about two months.
 MT. Hewitt states that he sees vast improvement in the mines and mining conditions as he has found them at this time in comparison with the past. Methods have been improved, econo- mics put in practice and far better re- suits than formerly are being obtained. Especially did he find labor conditions here better than in the north where, before he left, the strike and it's at tendant disorders were in progress. In Arizona he finds relations between the mine owners and miners friendly and production greater than ever before in commended the mining conditions here and expressed satisfaction at the prog ress he found being made in all the sections that he had so far visited
 Mir. Hewitt stated that he did not go out to the scene of the new gold strike near Ray but that he did see some of the ore. He pronounced it fine looking quartz, not bonanza but good, and merely qualified his remarks by ad- ding that it was. of course, surface indications that they were judging by thus far.
 Captain GreenWay states that the completion and putting into commits sion of the new smelter of his con- pany at Douglas, the complete success of the plant, had made it possible to largely increase the output therefrom, and that such increase was in evidence last month. The company is thus en- abled to increase the output from it's Warren district mines and to handle customs ores besides.
 Captain Greenway expressed himself as we'll satisfied with mining condi- tions in the Warren district and stated

 William Gibbs McAdoo walked up to the hotel desk. An interviewer followed close upon his heels with pen and tablet ready.
 Let me introduce m'self. Rep resent the Arizona Gablank. What dye think of our police system. Any suggestions to make on how to run police department in small town? Whatre your greatest problems in conduct your office. Have much trouble with buns? ?--?"
 And so on. McAdoo stared in amazement. His well known count enance was fairly arched with sur prise. He tried to believe he was hearing alright and that his inter- viewer was sane. But the problem vas too much for him. He asked, Just what do you think?"
 "Why aren't you the New York commissioner of pOlice?'
 No. I am Subway McAdoo."
 Cold type gives this state much more of boast than was contained in the words. The reporter was get ting fused, so he said. But who IS Subway McAdoo?" Subway then called his brotherinla J. H. Fleming over to explain who Sub way McAdoo happened to be.

 But the climax was reached when the third cOlored gemman was called to the stand. His name was Roy Anderson-which is strange when you consider the fact that the sec ond counsel for the defense was Le- roy Anderson

ANOTHER INTERVIEW

A tired, weary. worn-out reporter, stumbled into the room in which Judge Lindley, the minelaw man, was preparing to retire. He, too, was Jagged, having just concluded a long railroad journey. The subject of the interview, which followed was one that had to deal with lots of fi- gures. Twas tiresome work, getting it all straight. The reporters voice seemed to come from a long way off. Lindley listened like a long dis tance call from Roosevelt when the line is humming drearily Drowsy, droWsy. d-r-O-w-s-y dro-o-o-wsy grew the twain. Sleep, that knits the rav- eled sleeve of care sneaked quietly in and took possession with hands so gentle and forceful and easy oozy-oo that neither knew it. Then both slumbered.
 The reporters mind was not easy. He stirred and woke.
 HORRORS, He realized what he had done, and jumped up to make abject apologies, expecting to see Mir. Lindley regarding him with se- verity if not with broomstick in his hand.
 Lindley, too, slept.
