both grades would be inextricably mixed.
 "The shipper was not within reach but I took it upon myself to labor with the loader and try to induce him to load the two grades of ore in sep arate lots, so that they could be sam pied separately at the shelter. l pointed out to him that if the analy- sis made on each of the lots showed that more favorable price would be received if these ores were mixed, this mixing could be as we'll done on pa- per by the calculation of the metallic contents of the two lots as if both were mixed physically, according to his orders, and sampled as one lot. On the other hand if the analysis, of the two lots showed that the bonus payment on the high-grade ore more than offset the penalty on the low grade then it would manifestly be more profitable to ship and sell the ore as two distinct lots. By loading them in the two ends of the car this separation would be complete and the better sale price would be received, where as, if both lots were physically mingled, as under the instructions from the shipper this sale at the higher price would not be possible"

ERRORS MADE IN LOAD
 |NCCOST SHIPPER MUCH

Errors in loading ore and in con- signing shipments of mineral to smelting points are costing miners considerable money each year, accord ing to smelter reports. In regard to errors made in shipping ore to smelt- ing points, shelter official gives the following information which will prove of interest to local leasers.
 "There is a widespread and often erroneous impression in the minds f ore shippers that high-grade ore must necessarily be mixed at the time of shipment with a low-grade ore in order to mako an average grade of ore that will pay to ship. The miner does not appreciate that the mixture of the ore can be- as we'll made on paper as actually in the railroad cars. Recently I was the unwilling witness of metallurgical crime of this char acter, and in order to prevent other shippers from wasting time and money I propose to set out the de- tails.
 "In the case in point the shipper had two grades of ore. One was high grade silver-lead ore, assaying not less than 60 per cent lead, and wholly free from zinc; the other was a low grade lead-zinc ore, carrying about 30 per cent lead and 15 per cent zinc. It was obvious to the most casual in spection that the smelter would pay a handsome bonus for the first men, tioned ore, and exact a penalty both in treatment and charges and in zinc penalty for the second grade ore. In order to produce an average grade of product to- lessen this penalty the shipper gave orders to his loader to spread the high-grade ore over the floor on the railroad car and then spread the poorer ore over it in a layer, so that on reaching destination

ARIZONA THIRD
 IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The state of Montana has the best all-round public school system in the United States according to the re- suits of comparative study of state school systems made public today by the Russell Sage foundation. The re- port assigns second place to the schools of California, third place to those of Arizona, fourth to New Jer- sey, and fifth to the state of Wash ington.
 These findings are contained in a report by the department of educa- ton of the foundation. The volume is entitled "An Index Number for State Schol Systems" and the author is Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, director of the foundations department of edu- cation.
 Other findings of the report are that the school system of the United States as a whole has doubled in eff ficiency during the last fifty years, having an index number or rating of 26 in 1870 and one of 52 at the pres ent time. Since these index numbers are figured on the basis of 100, the school system of the country has now an effectiveness or efficiency of only 52 per cent, according to the report.
 The figures for the individual stat es as given by the foundation show that during the last thirty years the West has been coming up education ally while the East has been going down. During this time the greatest increase amng all the states has been made by Utah, while the state to which is attributed the greatest fall ing off in relative standing is Mary land. In the East the only state that has gained instead of losing is New Jersey. In the West the state that has the best and most consistently high record is California.
 The standing of the forty-eight states, the District of Columbia and the three territorial possessions IS shown in the following table:

TAKES POLITICAL TRAIL

It may surprise the friends of Dan Angius in this county to know that he was nominated by the democrats of Cochise county as member of the senate. Dan made a run for the same
 office in Mohave County some years ago but suffered defeat. There is lit tie doubt of his election in "Dear old Cochise", as that county is over whelmingly democratic.

LATEST MARKETS
GRAIN.

Minneapolis, Oct. There was no
change in the character Of news to-
day. and the sentiment of traders re-
NAMED bearish. Wheat futures con-
tinued to sag off and almost reached
the lower previous levels before any
support a shown. Corn futures
opened easy and again were under
pressure during the early trading, but
the fact that the September future
was out of the way seemed to clear
atmosphere and short covering
started before the session was half
over. Oats futures were very stun-
born. Trading was light and feature
less. Rye futures were in demand
from shorts and the market was
stronger than wheat. Cash wheat
was in fair demand at the opening
and some fancy dark northern was
worked at IS cents over December.
but before the market was half over
the best quality Of dark northern
was quoted at rs cents over. Corn
market was weak in tone with the
demand limited and offerings were
more than plentiful. Oats discounts
were quoted unchanged. Rye de-
mand, the same. Barley demand fair
to slow, according to quality. Bids
were down about l to 2 cents at the
opening and the general tone was
sluggish. Flax demand started off
better than it ended, but most of the
offerings were taken at firm pre-
miums.
