death of two girls, and the arrest OF
two young men, the announce
ment from Chicago that bootleggers

An examination OF the stomachs or
the two girl victims showed that death
had been caused by coal gas. but IL
they had not been SO Supplied by the
liquor they had drunk. they might
perhaps have thrown off the effects
of the gas.
Three other men were arrested,

Propose Navy Treaty
To Last Until 1897

Washington, Jan. 9.-The draft of
the treaty prepared by naval and legal
experts covering the five power con-
tract for reduction and limitation of
naval armament was in the hands of
five delegations tonight, a jealousy
guarded secret as to its text.
The various national groups are
understood to have been informed by
Secretary Hughes that both text and
substance of the proposed pact were
looked upon as highly confidential by
the state department.
Yet enough information leaked
through the barriers of silence thus
imposed to show that numerous Who'll
ly new features are included in the
draft copy.
Among these, it is understood, is
a proposal that the duration of the
pact be until 1887. Another new item
is the proposal to limit the size of
guns used on merchant ships to six
incl calibre as compared to the eight
inch weapons authorized for naval
auxiliary craft. Still another is au-
thority for the construction of war
ships On foreign account with the jur-
lSdlctlon OF the five powers provided
the size limitations on such ships laid
down for the five nations in the treaty
are not exceeded in building for an
outside power.
The treaty begins with a lengthy
preamble setting forth the purpose
of the covenant, the limitation of
naval power to the end that the bur
dens of taxation on the people of the
five countries may be relieved in the
preamble.
Then follow the articles of the
treaty, 20 in number and a mass of
appended matter to which specific ref
erence is made in the various articles
in order to present in detail the agree
ment covered in each general state
ment of the treaty proper.

THE MAN AND THE FOUNDATION

Doing things is the great establish
er. II matters not what one does.
Action hafdehs one, gives one char
acter, makes one positive. He who
has the habit Of action Is hard to
shake. He is down on the ground as
IL were. He knows thihgA, he has ex-
experience. And more than that It
builds a foundation for IN to stand
upon. So one is, clear through, the
architect Of his own fortunes" One
stands on whatever kind of a founda-
ton he lays for himself,
II you put into action whatever
knowledge you have you are establish
ing yourself in that knowledge. You
know 1t more thoroughly IL you teach
it and you stand upon it with assur-
ance. The same is true as to your
belief. If you are sincere you will
act according to that belief. IL you
don't act cut that belief it is not only
an uncertain thing but Il is a dieing
dead thing also. Belief In action be-
comes conviction. and conviction Is the
thing that carries one with a swing
and a momentum. 1t is the thing that
one takes his stand upon. The one
with strong conviction Is solid, unmov-
able. The one who does not act out
his beliefs is like the wave OF the sea,
ever swinging to and fro and never
going anywhere.
But do not let anyone tell you that
you have to engage in just a certain
kind of action. Action should be just
one thing-an expression OF self.
Well, what Is the use of saying that
For all action is that. You can't act
without expressing self, no matter
how big a hypocrit one may be. Thu
great thing in life is to recognize tha'
fact and strive to express ones self
! One may do 1t in physician works and
another in mental exertion. Success
lies in this. The Hebrew people o.

Local Firm Installs
Heating Plant Gam Valley

Gam Valley Chief.-W. l.. Schroed-
err of the Miller Hardware Co. finished
today the installation Of a hot water
heating plant in the Chief building
and we are ready to say that it is a
fine job. OF course, 1t isn't quite cold
enough just now to test IL to capa-
city. but it guaranteed by the Ameri-
can Radiator Co. to heat every part
OF the building to 20 degrees when it
is 80 below outside and that ought to
be enough. But we do know that the
work OF installation has been especial
ly we'll done and believe it is a fine
advertisement for the firm inasmuch
as it is their first work down in Buff

COLEMAN GLAD
Of FACT He IS
HARD HEADED
Pioneer Ranger and Rancher
Visits Bisbee; Old Battle
With Bandits Recalled

There was a man in Bisbee yester-
day who is hard headed and who is
proud of the fact, for it saved his life.
The man was Sam Coleman. pioneer
cattleman and prospector.
During 4 Mexico revolution few
years ago Sam was in the state OF
Sonora on a cattle deal when he was
overtaken by a band OF three Mexican
outlaws. They held him up and rob-
bed him of his outfit and then started
to take what money he had. Sam
started to resist when one OF the BAN
dts pulled a revolver and shot sam
in the head. Sam fell The bandits
then went through his clothes, took
his money and left him for dead.
Sam refused to stay dead. After
some time he regained consciousness
and found that the bullet from the
bandits revolver had struck him In
the head and had followed along the
side of his skull, causing only
slight wound The force of the bullet
had stunned him and the sight of the
blood flowing had led the bandits to
think he had been killed.
He made his way to a mining camp
had his wound dressed and was soon
able To mako Douglas, where he re-
NAMED for some time before return
ing 10 Mexico. He has been in Mex
leo for the past two years ranching.
Coleman came TO the county in the
early SOS and was engaged in hauling
lumber into Bisbee from the Chirica-
hua mountains in the early days of
the camp. He was at one time a mem
Der of the Arizona and Cochise coun-
ty rangers. He one time had a large
ranch in the Sulphur Spring valley.
He will remain here for a few davs
before returning to Mexico.

Increasing Orders For Copper
Shingles Indicate Large Amount
Of Red Metal Will Be Necessary

The following article from the En-
cheering and Mining Journal. writ
ten by A. b. Keith, gives an indica-
ton of the demand that will be shawn
for copper when it fully RECEIVERS its
place in the industrial world:
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany has recently received its first
order for copper shingles and from
the number of inquiries being made
enthusiasm is running high as to the
outlook for this venture of the COM
pany. John Gillie. manager of Ana
conda's mines, in an address to the
board of directors of the Butte Cham
Der of Commerce, said that If the mar
ket for these shingles measured up to
what they expected, half of the cop
per production of the whole country
would be utilized in their manufac-
ture. Formal announcement was made
that the Anaconda now is in the mar
ket and is ready to supply the trade
with either copper or zinc shingles.
Harold Blake, superintendent of the
foundry department of the Washoe
shelters, in the course of an address
to the chamber, submitted interesting
figures pertaining to this latest pro-
duct OF the Anaconda, stating that the
initial cost of copper shingles over
wooden was only about twice that for
the wooden article, but when it was.
taken into consideration that the life
of the wooden shingle averaged only
about ten years while that of the cop
per was 100 years. or really as long
as the foundation of the building en-
dured, the material advantage in ia
vor of the metal shingle was obvious.
Again Mr.. Blake pointed out that in
case of a fire there was no salvage
value whatever to wooden Single
whereas it was so per cent for the
copper shingle. represented by the
value of the metal In the case OF
slate, asbestor or tile, the copper
single had a material advantage in
he first cost. he said. and further.
laying of copper shingles required no
particular skill and twice the area
could be covered in a day than with
the wooden single. Against this the
service of skilled artisan was re-
CURED when roofing of slate, asbes-
tos or tile was to be laid.
