ton. Tn one year the increase in the value of the mineral products of the state was from s1,O0O.OO0 to S90OO,. 900, yet how insignificant this seems when compared with our present an nual production of about s7O,OO0,0O0
 From the time of the coming of the railroad until the present time, the in. crease in population has been steady and constant The increase in the copper production has been meteoric; the increase m wages paid has follow cd the copper production, and the in. crease in farming production, although not rapid has been steady.

 With the exception of grazing and stock raizing, the industries of the state are to a very great extent inter dependent upon each other, with min. ing as the branch to which they all owe their present advanced state.
 Agriculture. While it was early recognized that the agricultural possibilities of the State of Arizona were large, it was

 There were no connections between the farming lands and the mining camps, and the products of the farms could not be sold Although the mines desired timber there was no way of getting it. The greatest step in the industrial developm of tho state was made when the Southern Pacific railroad opened in the early 7O'a.

 Perhaps of least importance in tho making of a good mining college isl its buildings, but Arizona has nothing Co tc cahemcd Of in this respect. Ap- proruati0n has been made and plans a.e oa .ae way for the building of a largo plant for the College of Mines r E1ri1ecring which will give amplo er-rtars and which will be as well equipped as is necessary considering oar advantageous location
 Any School of Mines is judged to
 -eat extent by its alumni While the Arizona College of Mines is but goung school and has not yet a large number of alumni scattered over the country, those that have been gradu- ...d have made good in every way, and the demand for our graduates has far exceeded the supply, simply because they are men trained in the mining atmosphere While the aver age percentage of men from other schools that are still in their chosen profession five years hence is about fifty per cent the number of gradu- ates of the Arizona Colleee of Mines that remain in the mining business is near ninety per cent. This speaks for itself
 Many of our men have reached high positions. positions of considerable responsibility and commanding good salaries. and while they are we'll seat tered over the country they are not yet in sufficient numbers to prove the real value of our graduates.

 There are some who think, how ever, that the faithful coach is so chagrined over his failure, that he will voluntarily retire from further participation in football affairs at Yale and decline another years sal ary. if if ordered to him. u is al ready common knowledge that a com mittee has been appointed to look situation and among those considered are Foster Sanford Al Sharpe and Dr. Williams of Minnesota.
 It is felt by many that no personal blame should be attached to Frank Hinkey for his failure. He did his best but circumstances were pitted against him: in trying to build up an efficient gridiron aggregation, he had to fight against a powerful enemy, the common frailties of human na- ture.
 It takes and exceptional strong executive to overcome the petty dis sension and, unworthy society politics that are bound to arise from time to time in college athletics. A man who can lift the men away from themselves and work single mindedly for the cause of Yale Is needed. It is up to the committee to find such a man before next year.

HANS WAGNER CAPTAIN.
Manager Callahan Makes Early Alp.
 Pointment for Pittsburgh Club.

Manager James J. Callahan of the Pittsburgh Nationals has appointed sHans Wagner captain of his club. Says Callahan: There are a great many things on which that old boy can give me and all the rest of us pointers. He Is a living encyclopedia of baseball knowledge. and what he doesn't know about the game hasn't been discovered yet. The great stars of the diamond may come and go, but Wagner will stand out forever as the greatest of them all. There never has been an
 other like him, and I doubt if there
 ever will be.
 'I intend to rely upon Wagner in many things in the operation of our team next year. One of the matters l wish to take up with him early is the question of a training camp for next | spring. We have not yet decided to abandon Hot Springs, but possibly we may do so if we can settle upon an- other place offering greater advan- | tages. I shall be guided largely by l Wagner's views on the matter"

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 23.-The Chicago Nationals and the St. Louis Ameri- cans are exempt until the year 1917 from that provision under which or ganized baseball now is working, linn iting the number of players of each team on the 20th of May of each year.
 This is part of the baseball peace agreement that was signed here last night, according to August Hrrmann, chairman of the national commission. Mr. Hermann made this announce ment tonight when told that Harry Sinclair, one of the Federal league peace conferees, had stated that there would be no player limit in baseball next year.
 In the National league the number of players limited to a team is 21 while in the American league the linn it is fixed at 25.
 amaIgamation of two clupbs in the Federal league to a club in the Ma tional and one in the American league we considered 1t unjust to ask the clubs to dispose of what would nat uraIly be considered a large number of players" said MT. Hermann.
 Clubs Have 50 Players.
 T cannot say accurately, but I es- timate that with the Chicago Cubs absorbing the Chicago Federals and the St Louis Browns taking in the St. Louis Federals each of these clubs will have close to 50 players at the present time.
 Tt would be unjust to ask them to dispose of such a large number as would be necessary in order to cut down to the limit under which organ ized baseball is now working. There fore we gave them until 1917 to dis pose of the surplus players" Other Majors Not Exempt. When asked if any or all clubs 1T the major leagues would be exempt from the limit, or the rule would be abrogated until 1917, MT. Hermann said:
 Absolutely mo- The other fourteer 1 teams of the major leagues will ob. | serve the limit. In so far as I know | there is no movement on foot to dC away with the limit rule.

Apart from a Broader Inquiry for

New York, Dec. 23.-Apart from a broader inquiry for leading railway shares, which was sufficiently insistent to suggest investment demand, today s market developed no new features Of especial interest.

 U. s. Steel showed marked strength after an early period of VacCilation, making an extreme gain of 7-S at S6 7-S, its best price in over a week on extensive trading which embraced one block of 5,000 shares. Bethlehem Steel was more lethargic than usual, falling 5 to 465, but closing at 472.
 Most of the automobile issues were lower General Motors making an eX- treme decline of 43 to 456, but retriev-

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 23.-'1 have the disposition of the Kansas City, Buff falo and Newark Federal league play CTS and I hold the contracts of Benny Kauff, Lee Magee and George Ander- son, all of the Brooklyn Federals.' This statement was made tonight by Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate of Tul- sa, Okla, and retiring baseball pro- moter.
 You can say" said Sinclair. that the owner of the Cincinnati Nationals yesterday offered me 5000 for Pitcher Moseley of Newark and that the own CT of another National league club of fered me $15,OO0 for Magee. Moseley will go to Cincinnati is soon as I get the s5,000. Magee, however, is worth much more money than 15,00O in my estimation and he will not go for that figure. These two offers are in an swer to published statements that the National league owners have agreed not to take any Federal league play CTS"
 MT. Sinclair declined to go into de- tails as to how he acquired Kauff, Magee and Anderson or how he hap pened to have the Kansas City, New ark and Buffalo players on his hands. He denied, however, that he was the | liquidating agent of the Federal league.

COACH FRANK HINKEY
 TALKS FOOTBALL
Looks Upon His Engagement as Head Coach as Purely Business Proposi- ton.


 Frank A. Hinkey, the head coach of Yale's lamentable football teams of the last two seasons has denied the report that he had left the city for short trip stating that he has been in New Haven ever since the football season, and intends to remain until after the holidays. Just what he in tends to do after that appears uncer- tain.
 When qeustioned regarding the football situation MT. Hinkey'S atti- tude was that of man who having been engaged to put through a busi- mess proposition, accomplished the purpose to the best of his ability, and although having his personal opinion as to the cuases of the eleven's fail ure to make good, refuses to lay the blame on the shoulders of anybody.
 If he feels dissatisfied with the part played by any of his colleagues, MT Hinkey is too wise a man to put himself in the way of false accusa- tiOns by making uncomplimentary statements.
 The politics and partialities in re- gard to Yale football have never in | terested me in the least" declared the coach, T have kept my hands out | of them entirely. AS to what the policy is of those who control Yale football I am not informed. I don't even know that they have any. All I know is that I was engaged at a | fixed salary just like you or anyone else. l look at the matter purely as a business proposition"
 1 MT. Hinkey seemed to doubt that he could ever be rightly considered as at the head of the football situa- 1 tion, intimating that he was subject
 to the will of those who engaged him When asked whether he expected tc | return next year and fulfil his con-
 tract, which has another year to run i MT. Hinkey declared that it was not 2
 question for him to decide. It is 2 l business agreement, and if those be hind the screens of Yale football
