Three R Mine Will
 Build Concentrator

As result of the visit early this week to the Three K mine of J. w.. Bonnie, manager of the Shannon Cop per Company, of which the owner of the Three R, N. L. Amster, the Bos. ton inancier, is president and Impor- tant stockholder, 1t is announced the Threo R mine is going to put up a concentrator to treat the low grade ores. Patagonla's most famous mine, the Three !S, is the personal property of Mr. Amster and is not included in the Shannon Copper company holdings, but Mir. Bennie acts as general mana ger for the Amster interests in Ari- zona, and it is probably on his recOm- mendatlon the concsntrstor is going to be built
 The cOncentrator is to be of POO tons daily capacity, but it is not expected that more than 100 tons will be the regular daily output for the present. Work upon the new plant is to begin at once, or within a few weeks at most
 It is believed the conce ntraUor will be put up at the mine, although there is probability it may be constructed on this side of the Three R group, in the canyon where the road turns to the Flux, much nearer to Patagonia. This would be on the Three R ground. but would necessitate tramming the ore from the mine. Engineers are estimating the amount of water that can be developed at the mine, and if sufficient. no doubt the concentrator will be put up right at the works Another thing which seems to point to the mine being the place for the To- cation of the concentrator is the fact that water could be piped from the Sonolta grant at very small expense in case it was required. But it is not be- lieved this will be necessary, as water enough to run the plant will probably be developed at the mine.
 At the present time the Three R is shipping only about 50 tons of high grade copper orc day. while work of development is going down to the lO0O-foot level is in progress. When. ever it is desired to get out more ore this average is put up to loo tons day, usually when copper is selling at cent or so pound more than present prices. During the past several months the ore shipped has averaged about l2 per cent copper. In getting oul the high-grade for shipment to the smelter, enormous bodies of low grade copper ore have been opened up. Wher the concentrator is completed and working, shipments of the high. grade copper ore will continue as usual to the smelter, only the low-grade bodies being treated. It will require a much larger force than at present employed, and may result in doubling the number of men now employed at the Three R. It is estimated between 20O,O ,OO0 and 30O,OO tons of low grade copper ore are in sight, enough to keep the concentrator running for two years.-Santa Cruz Patagonian.

Russia's Recent Preparations.
(Army and Navy Journal)

NHihiy anu NdNy JOulndh'
 It would be too long a task to en- | ter into a detailed account of the measures taken by Russia to bring up l her land forces to what might be ex- pected of her. However, some salient features among these are worth not ing at this time. The new recruiting ! law of July, 1912, cut down greatly
 the number of exemptions from mili- tary service. Another law that went into effect last December was a re- sponse to the increase in the effectives of the other great powers. This in creased by three months the legal ser vice of the soldier and gave more of solidity to the army by virtue of the fact that the recruits which begin their term in the autumn finish their instruction on April 1, instead of January 1, as formerly. Without in any way modifying the law of 1912 it was decided also to increase the effi- ciency of the troops. Beginning with 1913 each year was to see 25,0OO more men called to the colors than form- erly, and when the result of this aug mentation would begin to be felt Rus sia could proceed to the creation of certain great military units. Hence it had recently been announced that Russia would soon form three new army corps.
 The instruction of the troops has been made the object of incessant study since the Japanese war All the
 drill regulations have been revised since the close of the Manchurian war, and some of them, otably those of the cavalry and the field service, are very recent. All are in- spired by the most modern military ideas. In all these regulations the dominant idea is that everything should be subordinated to preparation for war and the entire new Russian system tends to develop the desire for the offensive and the initiative, characteristics of Russian military activity that have not been conspicu- ous in previous campaigns. Russia has also gone in heavily in the inn provement of her war material The financial sacrifices which the country has made in the last few years prove the concentration of it's thought up- on one well-defined military object. The ordinary war budget of 1914 reached 00,000,000 francs, an in- crease of 12S, 100000 over the preced- ing year. The expenditures were de- signed to renew little by little the fire arms of the service, to give more pieces of modern caliber to the field artillery to increase the material of the fort artillery and of the engineers, to build forts along the western bord- CT and to create or to increase the technical

AUTOISTS NOT IDLE RICH.

There is no greater mistake than to conclude that the automObilists oI the country represent "the idle rich" Automobiles can be bought at any price from $500 to $1O,O00 apiece and the quality and style of the machine is the only trustworthy indication of the financial ability of the owners, not of any class in particular.-Norwich Bulletin.
 It may be said that people have gone daffy on the automobile ques- tion. The great desire Is to own a car of some kind. They can be pur- chased cheap nowadays and people who are ordinarily economical have been known to make financial sac rifices in order to buy a machine. The punctures and blowouts have a but when the repairs are made and the car is again gotten into motion the causes of the delay are forgotten. A very large sum or money is in- vested in automobiles in Connecticut, the state receives a large revenue from them in the form of license fees and the towns from them as property placed on grand lists. In the early days of the motor the price was high and only the wealthy could afford to purchase one, but there has been so much. competition in the business since and there have been so many of the early clements of the cost elimi- mated that a car is now within the reach of the man of ordinary means who cares to invest few hundred dollars in one of the various makes of machines.
 The automobile is more common on the highways on Sunday than even the horse and carriage, which were once regarded as the only means of transportation for pleasure on that day. People are deriving great deal of pleasure from the use of the auto, especially on the Sabbath, and the owners are far from being the idle rich. -' vel.

THE PAPER PEST.

Did you ever have some paper Come with something from the
 store Which then had served it's purpose So you wanted it no more? Did you cast it idly from you And never care a jam That your rubbish was not wanted By any other man? Too many don't care men and boys Are passing ev'ry day A'toting paper ev'rywhere And throwing it away. And many who burn cigarettes Or smoke a burning pipe, Their packing cases never burn They strew them left and right. Sometimes we call the city clean But know it is lie, For rubbish filters ev'ry street And nasty papers fly. Some people cannot be content To foul a single spot, And tear paper into bits
 A larger field to blot. 'Tis easier by far to place
 All paper in control, Than 'tis to put it out of sight When started on a stroll. Now blame no more the Public Works, The most that they can do Is to remove unsightly stuff That pesky persons strew. Our city never will be clean With papers loosely thrown Tn yards and streets and passage ways Forever to be blown. If all would take little pains To place their rubbish where It never would be seen again Our city might be fair. Bla me on the thoughtless scatterers Whose selfish filthy plan Puts all the care of keeping clean Upon some other man. o. Ish X. Bibb1e write them up, Ish K Bibb1e dandy, Strike right and left through all the And with your pen be handy.

Egg Farming Rules. Philadelphia Ledger.

The egg farmer must be honest.
 Upon his honesty depends his suc- cess.
 Buyers of eggs must have faith, and this faith must not be shaken
 One bad egg in the lot will not only be the loss of faith, but the loss of a valuable customer.
 Eggs should be marketed at least once week. Twice a week would be far better.
 The honest egg farmer is not afraid to date his eggs.
 The man with the reputa tion of selling only strictly fresh eggs has no trouble to find customers. They come after him.
 The wise egg farmer grades his eggs according to color and size, and he gets a little more for his trouble
 The man who by means of a pickle or some preservative, puts away his summer eggs to sell in winter at advance prices, is dishonest, and his customers quickly detect his trick
 Food f1avors the egg, and the wise pou1terer knowing this feeds nothing but the purest of grains, meats and vegeta bles. Nothing is allowed the hens that will taint the flavor.
 "Guaranteed eggs'' are those laid by fowls judiciously fed on the pur- est of food, kept in the cleanest of houses and always put on the market in a fresh condition
 Store eggs" are lottery You may get a prize, but it is more likely that you will draw blanks
 The farmer, otherwise honest, is often tempted to put the contents of a hidden nest in the fresh egg basket and his religious views are doubted.
 Massachusetts each year pays $20,- OO0,000 for eggs and poultry raised outside. of the state, in addition to s4,00O,0OO more for that raised in the state.

Mayor QuigIey.
(Hartford Times

Mayor Quigley of New Britain made a suggestion this week to a branch of the progressive municipality of
 which he is the head that was worthy the attention of the people of the city. The suggestion was that the members of the fire department should be re- Quired to observe the conditions of buildings and their surroundings with the view of preventing risks or of re- during them to a minimum. Refer ence was made to the time which fire
 men spend in their engine houses un-
 occupied, and it was said that some
 ol this time could be, with advantage to the city, spent in making the ob- servations suggested by the mayor
 The necessity of reducing the fire risks by every possible manner is to be desired. But would the manner suggested by Mayor Quigley be the best? It is better to have the men on hand to go to a fire when the alarm sounds than to have them de- layed in reaching the scene of a fire by the other duty of observing the fire risks of buildings. Every moment is precious from the time the alarm is tolled to the time when firemen have a stream of water playing on the IlFe. The extent or COnHaSratlOn often depends on the speed with which the firemen reach the fire
 There is a great deal in the suggestion of Mayor Quigley that is worthy of attention and the consideration of it may lead to something being done in the way of bringing the conditions of buildings and their surroundings more closely under the notice of the city authorities. It would be a mis- take to dismiss the mayors sug- gestion without giving it the serious attention which it deserves. From it may be evolved some plan which will make for the reduction of the fire risks of the city. We all remember the attention which the former chief of the Hartford fire department. the venerable but agile Henry F. Eaton. gave to buildings and how he used to visit them periodically to familiarize himself with the plan of construction, with the view of being prepared to fight a fire in case one occurred.
 Many a disastrous fire was prevented in the business section of the city by the knowledge which Chief Eaton had of the construction of the buildings.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office.
Taking a Name in Vain. Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

Men who have enjoyed, at a table circled with bubbling good fellow ship, the astronomical delights of baked 'possum with d side offering of corn bread and sweet potatoes which have absorbed the rich flavor of the 'possum, will join in protest against the night riders of Kentucky taking the naime of "'possum hunters If groups of hill citizens, in that state of troubles and political com plications, feel they must ride at night in strange attire to frighten or abuse their neighbors, they create a situation that interests merely the local civil authorities.
 But their right to drag into such unseemly nocturnal diversion the name of "'possum hunters will bring resentmen at once, from every man who has taken part in 'possum hunt, or later partaken of the plea sures that follow a successful chase
 The real "'possum hunter' is good fellow. In his soul, while the chase is on dwells no trace of enmity His only warlike ambition is directed toward the animal sought, and that to the end that good fellowship may be increased. He would feed and pro- tect, nor frighten and abuse his fel- bowman.
 And around the table where the fat 'possum. baked to a crisp brown, Is displayed and men gather for the feast. who could utter a discordant note? Men grow in girth and in ap- preciation of others as they pass the hours disposing of generous portions Those who know the joys of 'possum hunting, and those who have mingled with the goodly souls that gather at the feast will resent the i'm propriety of appropriating any part of such a name for the rude and un- feeling night riders

of his fellow pacifists. Speaking no longer as cosmopolitan, but as a Scotchman, he asserts that Britain was right in going into the war. He has so far fallen from the faith as to place national honor above peace He affirms that Germany having de- clined Britain's peace conference and having asked Britain to agree to her march through Belgium, Britain was bound to decline and to declare that she would protect Belgium by land and by sea.
 After such an utterance the laird may fairly be expected to summon his retainers of Skibo and march at their head into Belgium.
 We don't know what Carnegie's fel- low pacifists may think of him for this slip back into the world of things as they are, but the generality of men will have higher opinion of his com- mon sense than they had while he was daily prophesying the dawn of an era of sweet, universal peace. We begin to like Andrew. He is so diff ferent from MT. Bryan.

Keep Fish Two Years.
(Evening Wisconsin,

Scientists of the Biochemical laborA atory of Columbus university have made an exhaustive investigation of the preservative effects of cold stor- age on fish, and reports that the re- suits of their studies convince them that fresh fish, similar in general character to founders, may be pre- served frozen, by the best cold stor- age processes, for at least two years without undergoing any important chemical alterations and without ma ter!ally depreciating in nutritive value" To avoid misunderstanding they explain:
 We do not suggest that our find ings would apply in any degree to fish that were not strictly fresh and un- spoiled before they were put in cold storage. It is obvious, also, that these results have no bearing on the condition of fish which have been re- moved from cold storage and kept a week or more in a shop, exposed, un- til sold, to public inspection during the market hours, and iced or kept in common refrigerator over night. It is equally obvious that these data have no material bearing on the cold storage of anything except fish"

paris. Aug. II. Via. London.-It
 ,,,as officially announced last night ,h.t France hSs broken off diplomatic ,eIations with Austria Hungary. The trench ambassador at Vienna has left inc Austrian capital and the Austro- Hungarian ambassador at Paris has asked for his passports.
 In announcing the breaking off of relations with Austria, the French foreign office made the following statement:
 Contrary to assurances given by Austria to the French minister or foreign affairs that no Austrian troops were taking part in the Franco-Ger- man war, the French government has ascertained beyond any possible doubt that certain Austrian troops are at pi esent in Germany, outside the Aus tran frontier.
 These troops which have set free German troops destined to be em- ployed in fighting the French, ought indubitably. de facto and Jure. to be considered as acting against France. In these circumstances the French 8 m bassador was ordered to leave Vienna.

FAT DETERMINES VALUE.
MT. Thompson Opposes Mir. Morris Statement About Ice Cream.

H. l.. Thompson, secretary of Davenport and Keeler, Inc, the local chemists, referring to the interview with the president of the New Haven Dairy Co.,, published in the Herald Saturday concerning the standard of value of ice cream, expresses himself as highly amused at MT. Norris state Blent.
 MT. Norris he says, claims that the amount of butter fat in ice cream is of little importance in judging its value. But according to all govern nent standards, federal, state and local, a certain percentage of butter fat is the fundamental requirement. According to the United States stan dard, ice cream is a frozen product made from cream and sugar and con- taining not less than fourteen per cent. of butter fat
 If one denies this he might as we'll deny that butter fat is the proper standard by which to judge milk, and say that, if it is wholesome, skim milk is of as much value as the richest milk from Jersey COWS"
 MT. Thompson is in a position to speak with authority in such a matter as this. since he spent three years in government laboratories in Washing ten in the examination of food pro- ducts.

New Yorks policemen have been given an unenviable reputation during the past two or three years by the publicity given to the Becker case and the over-emphasis laid on what wickedness there was among them, but that they are not all bad and that most of the force of the finest are hu- mane and honest Christian men is gradually being brought to light again. Recently an interesting investigation was conducted. by the charities de- partment of the city and it's results in dicated that the safest thing for any one in New York, be he native or stranger visiting in the big city, to do when he got into trouble, is to conf1de in a policeman Waterbury Repub- lican.

The Speculator 11 Starvation.
(New York G1obe.)


 For the creature who speculates in the bare necessities of life it is diff ficult for any normal human being to have any toleration. The average man. rooted as he frequently is in the strange tradition of eating, has a feeling toward the food speculator for which contempt and hatred are mild terms. The food speculator is an individual who tries to make money by causing or aggravating famine. There may be, and probably are, viler and more disgusting per sons. But at the moment it is diff cult to remember what they are. The mlddleman is at present a necessary evil under the existing system of distributing produce. But when ne tries to take advantage of crises that bring starvation and disease, he be- comes a pestiferous parasite that it is necessary to extirpate by the strong est measures. The miserable huck- ster who stores up food in order to create a famine puts himself beyond the bounds of human toleration
 But what is ever done to discour- age this depravity? What happened to the noble contractors who poisoned American soldiers with putrid meat in the Spanish war?

Horses Noses.

 I think if I were a horse I should dislike to have strangers stroke my nose.
 Every now and then we see some man walking along the sidewalk stop to stroke the nose of a horse stand Ing by the curb. This may be kindly enough done, but there are, I fancy. few men with a natural affection for the horse; and this from a stranger the horse would instinctive1y resent Is most horses do, in some measure. You rarely see a horse rude enough to raise his delicate, sensitive nose abruptly away, but you may often sec him sway his nose to one side or the other out of the strangers touch, to intimate as delicately as possible that he would like it if this strange person would pass along on his way,
