BUSINESS HAS GROWN SOME
Carpet Bags Carried the First consign- ments Trusted to the Original
 Express Companies.

The express companies, employing thousands of men, and whose physical properties are worth many millions, came into being because Boston tick ct agent took vacation. In 1889 William F. Harnden, the ticket agent, took short Hay off," and went to New York to see James w. Hale, an em. ployee of the New York News con- ,pany. On the way down he noted various persons carrying bundles, and some were of sort that manlfestly were not for the carriers. On reach Ing New York he suggested to Hale that they establish an "errand" line-that Is the two of them advertise in Boston and New York papers that they would. for a consideration, do errands in each town for those who had business of this sort to attend to, but not time to do 1t in.
 The idea was put into effect, and for several months two carpet bags carried the express business of the world. Public confidence was established by this time, and two messengers were added. After that the business grew by leaps and bounds, and a year later Alvin Adams, who had opened rival line, consolidated the two under the ti- tie of "The Adams Express company"

FOUR INDEPENDENT MINES IN , COLORADO TO REDUCE WAGES

WALSENBURG, Co!o., Dec. g. Interest in the coal miners strike in Hlerfano county shifted today to the so-called independent mines not own ced by: the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, following posting of notices of wage reduction at four of these mines yesterday.
 Nine operators said here tonight 15 other independent mines must reduce the wages of miners in order to allow them to compete with the Colorado Fuel and Iron company which this week cut it's prices on certain grades of nut and lump ocal one dollar ton, ifollo&inga reduction in wages of 30 ner cent. This wage reduction by the Colorado Fuel and Iron company re- suited in a strike in the mines of the company in southern Colorado and the closing down of eight company prop critics in other parts of the state.
 Miners employed at the four inde- pendent properties will not accept the reductions put into effect yesterday without a strike, Robert Foster, in ternational organizer for the United Mine Workers of America, announced tonight.
 He predicted a general strike of coal mine workers in Colorado ii posting of notices of reductions con- tinue.

three feet under the ground. IhlS recipe has been tried and the fruit Is delicious, flavor rich and color good. Another year the same proc ess was used, the jars kept in the ice chest until cold weather, then transferred to a cold fruit closet, with results as good. The fruit jars should be sterile and cold when the fruit is packed. Sterilize the fruit jars by putting them into a deep pan of cold water after they have been thoroughly washed; bring to the boil ing point both jars and tops. Dip the rubbers, before adjustment, into boiling water, put on the tops and set out to cool.
 Canned Raspberries.-Wash and drain the berries, add an equal weight of sugar to the berries after every berry has been crushed. Allow to stand over night, or A hours in cool place, stirring occasionally to be sure that the sugar is all dissolved. Seal in sterilized jars that have been well chilled and keep in a cool, dark place. Strawberries and raspberries canned in this manner are excellent for shOrtcake, sauces for puddings or ice cream. Ripe currants are deli cious canned this way, but it is vital that every currant Is crushed, other wise fermentation sets in and the whole jar is spoiled.
 Preserved Grapes. - Wash the punches carefully, removing any bruised fruit. Lay, after draining, in carefully sterilized jars, sprinkle a thick layer of sugar over the layer of grapes, then repeat, using plenty of sugar. Cover carefully, sealing the top of the jar with paraffin. Set in a cool place and in the winter one may revel in these punches of delicious ness.

CH|NA'S PAPER MONEY
 PANIC RESULTS IN A DEMAND FOR SILVER

The report that MeXlco would prop ably decide on "fixed" price for sil- yer produced and used in that coun- try is not entirely new since it has been under consideration for several years, but it may be highly signifi- cant as regards future world silver prices. Of the silver produced last year amounting to around 168,000,000 ozs., about 66,O0O,OO0 ozs. represent ed the contribution of Mexico. This country produced more than 55,000,- 900 ozs., so that both countries are responsible for more than two-thirds of entire world output. It is estimat- ed that this years production from other than Mexican and United States sources will be even smaller than last year.
 This would mean less than 40,000,- 900 ozs. for general consumption from new ores and at less than the liked" price providing Mexico proceeds with it's present intentions.
 According to the Mexican Finan- cier", of Mexico City, the Mexican Government will establish pool con- sistig of all the silver producers of this country for the purpose of fore ing an increase in price as it did ! shortly after the world war"
 Some authorities in New York this week doubted the financial ability of the Mexican Government to carry out this plan, but others pointed to the apparent ability of the mining com panies there to achieve this result if they would agree to withhold their output from the market for period of 3 months.
 According to Washington sources the Federal Administration does not contemplate any arbitrary fixing of exchange money rates, but is working on a stabilizing plan. This involves "bimetallism by international agree ment", and the Government, it is said, is now making a careful study of the silver situation.
 China recovered from it's paper money panic this week with compar- atively slight impairment of it's chief monetary medium, silver.
 The failure some time ago of the French-C h-Chinese Bank, the Banque lndustrielle de Chine, and the default on the bank notes issued by that in stitution failed to convert the Chinese to the paper money standard and the run 'on the Government bank, that of the Bank of China, is but another symptomof this refusal to deal in I. O. us" somewhat erroneously la belled as real money.
 London bullion brokers were quite keen to take advantage of these de- velopments and quoted silver at 68 Is cents bid on the 22nd inst, and at 67 3-4 as the New York equivalent.
 The actual bid at Shanghai, how ever, was 70 cents, and represented only one-cent drop from the Thigh" of the previous day.
 It is expected that the somewhat favorable developments at Washing ton will have a generally good effect on Chinese conditions.

About the funniest joke on white mans avarice that ever happened is the wealth of the present day Ameri- can Indian tribes. No one ever intend- ed that they should be wealthy. Far from 1t.
 They were dispOssessed of their rich lands In Iowa and Illinois and other states and sent out to what was then believed to be godfOrsaken desert, where no white man would ever or could ever live. No white American wanting 1t, that was the proper place for the red American.
 As result of this high-minded and far-seeing policy the Indians are to- day, as a number of tribes, the rich est people on earth.

STATE GETS CHECK FOR s146,O00
 FOR FEDERAL AID

PHOENIX, Dec. 3.-A government check for $146,966.O7 was received by Raymond Earhart, state treasurer yesterday, as portion of the three quarters of million due the state in federal aid.
 The check, it is believed, will be fol- lowed by others in larger amounts, itbeing the opinion of Thomas Mad dock, state engineer, that between four and five millions will be receiv- ed by the tsate in federal aid before the first of the year.
