auuouncing uie result, tne successful
making of briquets from lignite, some
valuable information on the cheap fuel
question is given. ,
What Ligulte Is.
Lignite Is a poor form of coal, brown !
in color, containing a great amount of
moisture, running generally between
SO and 40 percent. It occurs In vast
deposits In North and South Dakota
and in Texas, but its use has been
greatly restricted by Its tendency to
slack or turn to dust shortly atfer It
wa mined.
When the experiments started, two
great difficulties were faced. One was
the fact that pitch which in past .ef
forts had been ued as a binder, was too
expensive to allow the industry to
become a commercial success, and the
other was that on account of the great
amount of moisture -contained in the
lignite, it could not be used for fuel In
ordinary -boilers or in stoves.
FnrHHce Burns Lignite.
During a series of experiments at the
pumping plant of the reclamation ser
vice at Willlston, North Dakota, a fur
nace was developed that would burn
the lignite successfully, but there still
remained the problem of its"transpor
tatlon. Thar Is, of briquetlng it so It
could be handled and transported.
As this Industry has advanced much
fartner in Germany than In this coun

many and Imported to this country one
of the most powerful German briquetlng
machines. Experiments were conducted
with this until now it has been demon
strated that the lignite can be suc
cessfully briqueted at a cost that
makes it a commercial possibility.
The approximate cost of briquets of j
lignite loaded on "cars at the mines in
Texas Is said to be 2.51 a ton, S3.53 in
North Dakota and $5.24 in California.
This applies to briquetlng" run of mine
lignite to Improve its heat value and
weather resisting qualities.
It Is believed that briquets of- slack
and waste coal can be made at a cost
lpwer than the lignite, when the desir
ability of the coal is taken Into con
sideration. Highest Arizona Point.
The United States geological survey
has just issued a bulletin giving the re
sults of spirit leveling In Arizona from
1899 to 1909, inclusive.
The report should prove of value to
engineers and surveyors for each locali-
ty whose elevation has been accurately I
determined and affords a starting point j
for a survey of any kind that may be i
contemplated. More than 1600 points
in different parts of Arizona are listed,
giving the elevation and the location
of the bench mark in detail.
The highest point in Arizona marked
by the survey was in the Bradshaw
to Classify onPages 10 & U
f mountains, and -was marked as follows:
I "Mount Union, highest point, bronze
tablet marking primary triangulation
station stamped '7971 PRSCT'. 797S..
240 feet."
The marks 7971 PRSCT refer to the
elevation and the name Precott, desig
nates" the particular topographical map
on which Mount Union Is found.
Topographical maps of 41 different
quadrangles have been published, cov
ering the entire state, -with certain
J maps J extending over into California,

MAN IS OAPTURED
- AFTER A GUN DUEL
Hurley. N. M., July 15. Julian Pa
dilla, a Mexican residing about eight
miles from Hurley, has been captured
after sriving battle to officials. Pa-
dllla had celebrated by trying to shoot
up the town, firing promiscuously in
the air.
Deputy sheriff Luther Wright called
upon the disturber to turn over his
gun, but he refused to do so, and be
fore the deputy could take the neces-
sary sters to compel his compliance
the man's numerous male and female j
companions showed him Into a nearby

several miles from town. The officer
dismounted and demanded his surren

clump of .trees near the road and
opened fire with a 30-30 Winchester
The officer returned the fire, but with
out getting his man. A dozen or more
shots were exchanged, when the Mex

able to follow, as his horse became
frightened at the firing and ran away.
Returning to Hurley on foot, deputy
sheriff Wright secured another mount
and at daybreak continued in pursuit
of the Mexican and ran across him at
his home. He was covered with a
Winchester and surrendered without
further resistance. Padllla was tried In
the justice court on charges of resist
ing an officer and attempted murder,
and bound over to the grand jury.

UNCHRONICLED STORY
OF VOYAGE GIVEN
Paris, France, July 13. Gen. Por
firo Diaz has received many official
honors in Paris. Among the Latin
American residents of the capital his
presence has been the occasion of a
series of brilliant receptions and fetes.
Tho former preident of Mexico was
received by president Fallieres at the
Elysee and later the president paid a
return visit to the Mexican. Senora
jjiaz and Mme. Fallieres also
ex
changed visits.
Several hitherto tmchronlcled inci
dents of the long voyage on the Geiman
steamship Yplranga from Mexico, have
been told by fellow passengers as in
teresting sidelights on the aged sol
dier's personality Gen. Diaz mingled
freely with all and talked on a va
riety of subjects. Outspoken thoughts
of bitterness at his revolting fellow
! countrymen formed the least place In
j these talks so eagerly Indulged by fel-

Interested In Europe.
The great topic of Interest to Gen.
Diaz was the old world, whose shores
he was approaching for tho first time
in his life. He wanted to know all
about the nations of Europe, and espec
ially of France and of Paris. He re
counted often his experiences with the
troops of Napoleon IK. to. help the
Maximilian campaign when he was
made prisoner by the French officers,
who treated him, however, with the
greatest courtesy, more. Indeed, as a
friend.
He was greatly affected by the
demonstrations of welcome at the Span
ish ports. Unlike the times later when
he was officially greeted in England
and France, he was more at home
there for those about spoke his own
Spanish tongue. At Santander boat
loads of enthusiastic visitors brought
him masses of beautiful flowers. The
president was literally buried under
floral pieces, made up from the finest
beds of Spanish gardens. Somebody es
timated these flowers as worth at least

The day after leaving Santander Gen.
Diaz sa-w the purser. "Purser," he
said, "I think we'd better throw those
flowers overboard now. It was very
nice to have given them to me, but
I have no use for them. On the way
back to his cabin he said to a friend:
"After all, flow,ers are all humbug. It
would have been better to have spent
the money on the poor."
At Havre as he was about to land
Gen. Diaz said:
"I am going Into a vast country,
whose languages I do not know. Alas,
I fear I am too old to learn." Then,
with a gleam In his eyes and a
straightening of his shoulders, be i
added: "But Europe has much to In
terest me; I am sureI shall be happy
here."
Financiers in Rivalry.
The financiers of New York and Ber
lin are in active rivalry, for opportuni
ties to invest French savings which
amount to more than $1,000,000,000
yearly. German diplomacy has sought
for 10 years to list government bonds
on the Paris exchange, but the French
government has steadfastly refused
their admission. French three peccents
sell at 96 while Imperial German
three percents are usually at about
S5. The German government desires
to avail Itself of the French market
for an enormous number of municipal,
state and imperial issues, thus re
leasing German savings for invest
ment in industrial and commerical
undertakings.
Berlin bankers have been borrowing
great sums from Paris regularly
through Swiss houses,, but up to the
present the French government will not
allow German securities of any sort to
i n
be openly listed on the Paris Bourse.
ew York has been able this year to
make its first official entry on the
floor of the Paris stock exchange,
where three different American stocks
are now admitted. The probability is
that some 20 other -companies will re
ceive within the next 12 months offi
cial recognition.
9 The Aviation Meet.
The great International aviation
contest just ended probably will bo
the last for this year, as the public has
been shocked by the recent fatalities.
These deaths have caused much discus
sion, not only in parliament, but in
technical quarters regarding the im
propriety of offering prizes of from
$40,000 to $50;000, and thys attracting
daring experimenters, who are Inade
quately trained and using machines
which have been subject to no author
itative test or examination.
The effort to reduce weight by light
ly constructed motois was the probable
cause of the burning to death, of
Princeteau and Bandron by bursting
gasoline tanks Monsieur Ernest Arch
deacon of the Aero club of France, ad
vocates an official examination of aero
plane motors as the only means of pre
venting too light construction.
NEWSBOY GRAFTER
SEEKS EASY MARKS
Did you ever ride on the train?
Well, you remembev the sponc news
boy who came through a-lth Ms daily
papers and the latest joke books, and
gave everybody a sample o fthe latest
teanut candy. That same unpreten
tious lad has a neat little graft all
his own. It seems a shame to disclose
the poor rascal? but he has worked his
little game long enough, so here goes.
When he approaches you With a guilty
wink, and tells you confidentiially
that he has just swiped a solid gold
watch in the women's dressing room, be
not fooled, he is not quite so rash, and
If you bite, forever hold your roeace,
for it will be your" own fault. He
will put up a hard luck story, and will
tell you quietly that the mild sum of
about ten bones will be a drawing
card for the treasure, but take heed.
The beautiful l"dialmoi.i rings" and
the gold rimmed speotavles are sold
ties way, too, so take I?ce.l once again.
A local man, .vno iIojw that his
name be not used, because of the fact
people might think he w.is quite soft,
was leaving the city for New Orleans
one bright summer day, and he took a
seat In the smoking car and was quiet
ly reading when the news butcher
spotted him, and tlppipg him a sly
wink, asked him to coroo over to the
trunk. Here, after a little booked
spiel, he drew from the dark recesses
o fthe trunk a brignt, shiny pair of
"solid gold" rimmed spectacles. He said
he had stolen them, and asked what the
party would pay for them. The easy
one looked them over with his eagle
eyes, and planked down $2 and put
his finger to his mouth, and gave the
"mum" sign. The lad bore a straight
face and went on about his blzz.
The happy man was taken down a
few pegs when he was told by the
jewelers the next day that the same
glasses could be bought for the sum
of about two bits per dozen. However,
this is only one of the every day oc
currences In which the sporty newsboy

Instead of Being Washed
Away, Islands Are In
creasing in Size.
LORD COLEBROOKE
GETS GOOD BERTH
London, England," July 15. Fears as
to the ravages of the sea and the coasts
of Britain have been allayed by the
report of the royal commission on
coast erosion which shows that instead
of gradually disappearing beneath the
water, the British Islands are annual
ly increasing in area.
"On the whole," say the the commis
sioners in their report, "we think that,
while some -localities have suffered se
riously from the encroachment of the
sea, from a national point of view the
extent of erosion need not be consid
ered alarming."
. Actual figures prove that in the past
35 years no less than 48,000 acres have
beerv added to the 'national area, while
during the same period no more than
6640 acres have been washed away.
The places which have suffered most
have been the east coasts of England
and Ireland, but measures have bee,n
adopted which will prevent the loss in
those localities from being so great in
the future.
England's New Stamps.
The blurred and inartistic appear
ance of the new postage stamps issued
on the occasion of the coronation of
king George has given rise to very
heated discussion. Both among the
public and In artistic circles dissatis
faction Is expressed at the1 complete
lack of resemblance In the portrait of
his majesty printed on the stamps.
It has been suggested that a fresh is
sue should be designed with a new por
trait of the king, and the subject is to
be debated In the house of commons.
Meantime, the stamps are being with-
held from circulation until the stock
of old issues become exhausted.
Colebrook Lands Nicely.
Lord Colebrook has just been ap
pointed to one of those many snug
billets in the king's household that
are reserved exclusively for peers. He
has been made captain of his majesty's
honorable corps of gentlemen-at-arms
at a salary of $5000 a year. He will
have a very easy time of it earning
his pay. The corps, which was found
ed in 1509, Is mustered only on great
ceremonial occasions when men In
gorgeous uniforms are needed to pro
vide picturesque effects at big func
tions. It was lontr asro relieved of all
responsibility for the safekeeping of
his majesty's sacred person which was
the principal purpose for which It
was created. Scotland Yard detectives,
who never appear in gorgeous uniforms
and seek above all things to render
themselves inconspicuous, now look
after that.
The members of the corps are all
army officers of good family who have
done -something to distinguish thera-
Belves,
But by one of those singular i
Real Estate andTooLate
anomalies which seem to govern the
bestowal of exalted ornamental jobs
in England, It Is not deemed essential
that the, commander of the corps
should even ever have been a soldier.
He need know nothing about military
drill and discipline. The two essential
qualifications are that he should be
a peer and of the same political per
suasion as the party in power. For
all the best paying soft snaps In the
king's household Are regarded as part
of the spoils of victory at the polls and
are at the disposal of th prime min
ister. The king simply aproves of tha
appointments.
According to the official announce
ments by which the public are made
acquainted with the-e appointments
he is always "pleased to-approve," but,
as a matter of fact, he must approve,
whether' he is pleased or not. And
when there is a change of government
all the high salaried heads of depart
ments in the king's household are given
the sack and have to clear out of
Buckingham palace to make way for
cnother batch of peers who are political
adherents of the new prime minister.
But these high salaried appointees
have very little to do with the running
of things at Buckingham palace. That
is done 'by permanent members of the
palace staff who have no chance what
ever of being promoted to the best
paying posts. For the most part, those
who fill the latter are simply required
to put In an appearance on state oc
casions, don gorgeouSj raiment, and
look as solemn and Imposing as they
know how.
Lord Colebrook was only made a
peer in 1906, when a baronv was be
stowed UDon him. But being a Liberal,
and the Liberals being In power, his
elevation to the peerage nut him In
the running for a court billete. and he
was soon afterwards appointed a lord-
In-waiting, a position which he held
until his promotion to the better pay
ing office which lord Denman vacated
to become the governor general of the
Australian commonwealth. There are
seven lords-in-waitine. Thev are nald
J $3500 a year each. But only one has
to be on duty at a time. Each of them
In turn "waits" for a fortnight, and
then is allowed 12 weeks off.
But, although it seems extremely
probable that the political powers of
the peers will be greatly curtailed ere
long, there is no indication of the ex
istence cf any "widespread desire to de
prive. them of those exalted, exceed
inglv well paid, and for the most part,
purely ceremonial offices of which they
now enjoy a monopoly. It apears to
be generally recognized that when, it
comes to filling an ornamental role a
peer Is likely to do It better than any
body else.
