COPPER QUEEN ENTERS
 WESTERN PORTIONS OF TEXAS
Big Corporations Move Creates Much Interest, Promising Import ant Development of County's
 Resources.

The Copper Queen company, Of Bisbee, Ariz., has invaded the copper region of eastern Fl PaSo and western Cu1berson counties, Texas.
 MT. Beckwith, who has for twenty years been mechanical engineer for that company, has gone to Allamore for the purpose of installing pump ing plant on what is known as the Black Shaft copper mine, situated about five miles northeast of Ala moore. He has already four car loads of machinery and material on hand and is arranging to have them hauled out to the mine.
 The Black Shaft mine is situated on lands belonging to the assignees of the Texas & Pacific Railroad com pany, from whom favorable options for purchase have been obtained.
 The mine is situated about two miles southwesterly from the famous Hazel silver mine, and was discovered over 25 years ago, and at various times has been worked by various small lessees, who, owing to lack or capital and want of mining eXper1- ence. were unable to put it on a profitable basis. Though the property runs a sure lode, traceable for distance of half mile, and having a general easterly and western course. At the surface it was about four feet wide, but at depth of 15O feet the main work shaft and cross cuts showed the vein to have widen ed to over 20 feet between the walls.
 The ore consists of black oxides and copper glance disseminated through a silicious calc-spar gangue. The atten- tion of the company was called to this property by William Linder- bergh, who has had an option on it for over a year, and after an examin- ation by Dr. Grebe, of Bisbee, the expert, the Copper Queen people took the mine over, together with several other mining lands. - ~
 The advent of this company has created great interest, and it is be- lieved that this will mark the begin ming of important mining develop ment in the mining districts of east ern Fl Paso county ty.-Times.

MEXICAN REVOLUTION EVOLVES
 NEW RAILWAY TRAFFIC DESIGNS
Flyer Between Fuerte and San Bias Makes 60 Miles an Hour; Danger
 of Stones on the Track

NOGALES,Jan 31.-Lack of loco motives on the Southern Pacific of Mexico and other roads of the west coast has forced the constitutional lstS to arrange for transportation be- tween various points in Sonora as best they may. The. latest wrinkle in forwarding mail, passengers and freight between Fuerte and San Bias on the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient railroad, is an automobile train. All the motive power of the road is out of commission, the large number of engines, lying along the right of way from the results of wrecks and their plunging through bridges
 The auto train consists of a newly confiscated Hudson Six-4O car with two push handcars attached. The car was placed in storage by it's owner who to make it possible as he thought to be{used by any other per son, had removed the wheels
 The car was seized and in place of the regular wheels, those were fit ted to the gauge of the road The train now plies between the two points making the best time ever re- corded on the road and never fail ing to arrive on schedule, Passen- gers who have travelled by this strange train report an average speed of 50 to 60 miles an hour, the only danger being small stones placed on the rails by the Indians through the country traversed.
 The only accident yet reported was on it's maiden trip when the wheels were put on the car with the Hangers reversed, which resulted in the car the rails at the first curve encountered and ramming an en- bankment. Reversal of the wheels fixed this difficulty and the little craft with a flag flying from it's en- zine reading in Spanish, Train of the State of Sonora" continued it's daily trips between the two points.

However considered, the act of Wilson is not violation of any precedent, and his motives put in practice only after very due deliberation. Should this decision bring peace to Mexico, 1t alone will stamp the present administration as of the greatest in wisdom. It is far preferable that the Mexicans endure civil war than that American soldiers be sacrificed for the gaining of peace. This action of Wilson is at least along lines of greater activity than has formerly been shown, and will suffice to convince the people that the Presidents earnest attention is devoted to the frightful condition that has so long devastated Mexico.

1t is difficult to get at the truth
about the military movements and
encounters between the European
nations now engaged in deadly com.
bat. war which promises to be
one of the bloodiest in history. One
fact must be borne in mind and
that is that but few continental
wires remain open to the use of
war correspondents and that some
of the many reports which are sent
across the ocean by cable lack veri-
fication.
London and New York papers
have found it impossible to "cover"
the war as former wars were COW
cred. The war censor is "on his
job" at all times, and in conse-
quence much of the news is not
only delayed, but not allowed to be
made public. Americans must de-
pend mostly upon reports sent out
by a London bureau. established
by the British government.
1t is impossible for weekly
newspaper to give detailed reports
OF the war on account of space linn
itations. In consequence The Trib-
une makes no pretense of furnish
ing its readers with anything but
a general review of the most i'm
portant events.

Small Blaze at Cannery.

A fire alarm was turned in at
nine O'Clock Tuesday evening from
hydrant No. 81, and the volunteer
firemen responded promptly. both
companies leaving the station in
double quick time. 1t was found that
a small blaze had started in the
boiler room of the cannery in the
east end of town. If the blaze had
not been discovered and promptly
checked, it might have resulted in
a serious grafton. There is
now housed in the cannery store
rooms some $4,000 worth of can
ned goods, and the plant is equip
ped with over $4,000 worth of ma
chinery. The fire was first noticed
by Mr.. Rinehart. who sent in the

After being in session until two

council on Friday awarded the con-
tract for paving Front and Third
streets to the Washington Paving
Company of Tacoma The material
selected is to be asphalt and the
price $120 a yard. Cement side
walks. 5 feet in width are also to
be laid on both sides of Third street
from Front street to the depot.
The people of Lynden can con-
slider themselves very fortunate in
securing the lowest price on paw
ing its streets that has ever been
made anywhere in the West. Had
the contract been awarded a day
later, it is likely that higher price
would have been paid, as cement on
last Friday afternoon went up 40
cents a barrel.
We are also fortunate in that a
responsible firm has been given
the contract The successful bid
der Is now doing the paving OF
streets at Anacortes. Olympia and
Tenino. Three out of every four
contracts recently let have been
awarded these paving contractors.
In addition to the $1.20 a yard
for laying the pavement. the con-
tractors are to receive 500 per
year for the first five years for
maintenance, for keeping the pave
ment in repair.
