A Lost Trade Secret.

It has frequently happened that val
liable trade secrets have been lost be-
yond recovery. For instance, the best
watch oil, it appears, cannot be OBJ
tanned today because the secret proc
ess of mixing it persisted with the In
ventor. 1t Is said that the last quart
Of this famous fluid was sold for $500,
and that was thirty-five years ago.
Since then every effort has been made
to analyze the product in an attempt
to reproduce the oil, but without sue
cess. The man who made 1t and who
alone knew its composition died, and,
it further appears, not even his name
or the place of his burial Is known. He
never revealed to any one the details
Of his process, and it was not until
after his death that the real value Of
the oil was appreciated-Los Angeles

SANTAFE HAS
 HEAVY BUSINESS

Several minor changes in the time table of the Santa F'e Prescott X Phoe- nix railroad went into effect yesterday. Train No. l, formerly arriving here at $50 a. m., now reaches here at 3 o'clock, while No. 8, formerly arriving in Phoenix at 9:55 D. m., now reaches here at 10 o'clock No. l leaves Ash Fork each morning at l 90 o'clock, five minutes earlier than under the previous schedule. No. leaves Phoenix at 7:45 a. m., the same as previously but reaches Ash Fork at 4:25 p. m., which is fifteen minutes later than under the previous running time.
 The Santa Fe IS experiencing eXcep- tional activity at this time There is unusually heavy passenger traffic and the freight business is the heaviest in the history of the road. There is a heavier movement of ore than the road has previously been called upon to handle. From the Clarkdale and Jerome district there are being shipped from eight to ten cars of ore daily. while even heavier shipments of supplies are being handled to these points.
 Last week over 100 cars of sheep were brought down from the main line to Congress Junction, Beardsley ana the Salt River valley. Twenty cars of beef cattle were shipped out of here on Thursday for Kansas City,
 Since the heavy rains of the past few days, the feed in Central Arizona has been coming on until the desert and the feeding ranges are in excellent shape. It means that there will continue to be shipments of livestock into the section for feeding purposes for some time to come.

NOTED BIOLOGIST
 HERE ON MISSION

Dr. Frank c. Schrader. geologist of the United States geological survey for the last twenty years though connect ed with the government much longer than that, is in the city. He has come for the purpose of Investigating min eral conditions on the Indian reserva- ton south of the city. Dr. Schrader has not been in Arizona until now for nearly ten years. His last visit was for the purpose of studying the min eral desposits of the Cerbat Range in Mohave county, the Black Mountains and Grand Wash Cliffs. A compre- hensive bulletin of more than 200 pages on his discoveries was issued in 1909
 Until his visit comparatively little was known of that county, for as the bulletin states: "Prooably no other region in the United States of equal importance in respect to mineral re- sources has received so little attention as western Arizona.
 His report not only brought atten- tion to the region, but encouraged the miners and prospectors already in the field with the result that there was a development that would not have taken place. It is said that his opinion Of the now famous Tom Reed prevented
