Arizona Mine, Believed Worthless by Former Owners, Brings S600,000 to Two St. Louis Business Men
MANY NOW SCRAMBLE TO PURCHASE STOCK
George H. Valentine and John R. Boddie Credited With Being Heavy Win ners Because of Opera tions in~Venture

Half a dozen St. Louis men stand 10 make fortunes through their invest ment in an Arizona. mine that Tor years was derided as "a worthless nose in the ground" At the moment one is s10O 900 to the good, while another holds stock of a present market value of $500. .OOO It is the biggest success ful mining coup since the brilliant olc days of the Granite Mountain mine.
 Several years ago several St. Louis business men were induced to oay stocl, in the Cornelia Copper company a St.. Louis corporation, which owheo "a location" at Ajo, Arizona.
 Some two years ago, just about the time that the European war was get ting under headway, the St. Louis lumbermen told how the stockholders had disposed of their controlling ,a- terest to the Calumet and Arizona Min ing companv for the sum Of SS2s,ooe. GOT HALF PAR VALUE
 The various stockholders believed that they were making klilins at disposing of their stock at s2.5o share, or one-half of the par value. Many had previous to this sale charged their investment in this mine up to profit and loss.
 few held on. When the stock touched $S and $9 they, too. let go. feeling that they were cashing in at the very top of the advance. But tne stock did not stop there but began to climb steadily.
 The original St. Louis stockholders included John R. Boddie, the mining man: Dr. Charles F. Neely, president of tha South Arkansas Lumber company Charles A. Bowman. secretary Of the same company Frank C. Brewer, pres- ident of the A. P. Brewer company, and George H. Augustine, vice presi-' dent of the Carleton Dry Goods com pany.
 STOCK GOES TO s215o
 When the stock reached $10 and SIP. there was a mad scramble to get back with the good thing Stock that had been disposed of for s2.50 was repur- chased an advance of 400 per cent to 300 per cent.
 Friday the stock was quoted on the Boston market at s21.5o. The predic- ton is that it. will go much higher. This is based upon the fact that as soon as new mill is in operation 50Oo tons of copper ore a day can be treated Ajo is now bustling. thriv- ing mining town of 1000 inhabitants. According to Charles A. Stoneman x Co of New York. the stock has a pres ent book value of s75 share. George II. Valentine. vice president of the Carleton Dry Goods company, was one of the stockholders 'who came back strong" He and members of his family now own more than 26.- 900 shares of value of $500.000, based on the present market valuation of the stock. John R. Boddie, who induced the St. Louisans to make their original investments, is credited with a "clean up- of more than $100.000 for his faith in that Arizona hole in the ground. Adv.

Philadelphia, February 1.-Tlght skirts worn by women passengers have upset schedules on the rail- roads.
 The Pennsylvania railroad, with scientific accuracy, has found that since women have begun wearing tight skirts the average stopping time of train at station is now TT seconds longer than it was when the skirts were short and roomy around the bottom.

WEST AFRICANS
 HOARD SILVER
By Associated Press

London. January 1.-The hoarding habit ,f the natives of West Africa is caus- ng much difficulty among interests trad- ng in that country. As soon as supply sf silver is let loose it disappears. Paper money has been introduced in one pound. Q shilling to two shilling notes but the native is not keen for these and much prefers silver. Now the experiment is being tried of issuing one shilling notes which will be legal tender and if the native takes to them the problem will be argely solved.
 In the meantime the West African cur 'ency board is buying as much silver as possible and shipping it by every steam IT to West Africa.

THE ScHooLBOY'S MISTAKE.
Value Of n Superior Education Not
Measured by Wages Alone.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: "A

son superior education" 10 It the

ness and the welfare OF society would be-
enhanced thereby or hanlSering' after

rate much higher than the truck drivers

ply and demand and not the walking

courage his son TO acquire all the "su-

that he may embrace a professional
career necessarily, but as the best of all
projections against his fellow man. who

perior wages will carry on the good work

Brocklyn's Surrogate.

In Brooklyn the time has come
when the people may put an end to
the maintenance Of a political head
quarters In judicial Office. For a long
time the leader Of the Democratic
party In Kings county has occupied
the place Of chief clerk In the Surro-
gates Office. Last spring. to insure
his continuance In that position, Nc
CooEY executed political hocus-
pocus. Knowing that Surrogate
KrroHAM was about to be disquali-
fed by reason of the age limit, Nc
CooEY had him appointed to the su-
preme Court bench and had the va
cancy thus created filled by the ap-
pointment Of General WINaATE as
Surrogate This may have been a
shrewd turn on the part Of McCooEY
to save his job, but II does not justify
his candidates campaign slogan Con
tinue Surrogate WINaATE." Under
the circumstances this appeal for
votes seems plain humbug.
The Republican candidate for Kings
county IL Colonel JAMES CRooKE Nc
LEER, an experienced lawyer of abil-
ity and integrity, whose temperament
and character give assurance that If
elected he will perform the duties of
that Office with credit to himself and
impartial justice to the public.
Colonel MoLEER Is the son of Gen
eral JAMES McLEER,' veteran of the
civil war. who was severely wounded
In the service. Colonel NcLEER en-

ScOTCH-IRISH.
The Expeditions Of Englishmen and
Scots to Ulster.


To THE EDITOR OF THE suN--sir: Mr..
Hatton's letter gives an erroneous i'm
preston regarding the term Scotch
drish." In the e~rly part of the seven
teenth century the population of Ulster
consisted OF the following groups: -,-,
~ One Thousand EngiisiImen brought
over by the London Companies and set
tied by them in County Coleraine, now
Londonderry.
(2) Eight thousand three hundred
Lowland Scotchmen brought over by the
Scotch Undertakers and settled by them
in certain sections of the remaining ave
confiscated counties.
(3) Aboriginal Irish who 'conformed
to the religion OF his Majesty's flames
Isl laws" In order TO retain their
lands -.
(4) Aboriginal Irish who did not con-
form but were assigned various lands.
The population OF Ulster at that time
was about 100000, so that the new
corners formed about one-fftieth part
Of the population. Moreover the latter
married native women.
The term Scots-Irish has been applied
by DR.. Petrie and other tc the Gaelic
race, that Ia TO say, to the inhabitants
OF both Scotland and ireland.
