A SIGNIFICANT OPINION.

President Clark of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad is
responsible for the statement that
electricity will soon drive the locomo-
tive from the track to the scrap heap,
and Mr.. Clark probably knows rs we'll
a. any living man what the future mo-
tive power Of the transportation lines
is to be. That the locomotive, as the
steam motor is called. although the
name could ms well be applied to the
electric vehicle, will some day go the
way of oil antiquatcd inventions,
nobody doubts; the proximity Of
the change is what is worrying in
vestors.
The electric system is at present in
use on the elevated systems Of Chicago
and will probably soon be adopted in
New York. 1t answers all the require
ments of the road and is deemed far
superior to the steam appliances for
merly used. 1t is only recently that
the Consolidated began to use the troll
ley on some Of its small lines and met
with such snccess that there was imme-
diate talk OF extending the system. i
will probably not be many years before

longer be seen in the land is som.

nance that IL connected with the pon-
derous machine of speed and strength,
but it, like the virgin, forest, and the
sboriginies Of America, must lee before

ADJUD0ED NOT GUILTY.

The Board OF Aldermen reached .
proper decision last night after hearing
the testimony OF twenty or more wit
nesses of the arrest recently made by
Detective Haberlin, who, 1t is alleged
in the charges preferred, used unneees-
sary violence and acted in manner
unbecoming an officer in makiLg an
arrest. There were three specifica-
tions in the charges presented, and De-
tectivs Haberlin was adjudged not
guilty in each instance. The pre-
ponderance of evidence went to show
that the arrest was perfectly justifiable
under the circumstances. 1t was evil
dent from the testimony presented that
no more force than necessary was used
in making the arrest.
One fact was brought out most
prominently at the hearing, that being
that Detective Haberlin is conscien-
tious officer of the law and alert to the
duties of his position. It is true that
the man he arrested was not guilty OF
the crime that was suspected, hut how
many guilty persons would escape pun
ishment of their crimes il the course
suggested by some people was pursued
in experimenting wrong doins9
Still these are few of the dangerous
experiences that an officer meets in the
discharge of his duties. However,
there is no reason when an arrest is
necessary that an officer should subject
himself to bodily harm and torn clothes
in an encounter with prisoners who are
not responsible for their doings on the
impulse of the moment.
Instances have been numerous in
Pawtucket where an officers gratitude
toward prisoner was grossly mis-
placed, and there was no balm, finan-
cial or otherwise, for torn clothing and
bruises received while handling refrac-
tory prisoners.
or course it is always to be expected
that an officer shall use no more force
than is necessary in making an arrest,
but there are times when extreme meas
ures have to be adopted to produce the
desired result. An officer is supposed
to put up with certain unpleAsantries
in making an arrest, but the fact should
be borne in mind that the anatomy of
q limb OF the law is just as susceptible
of well directed kicks and knocks as
any other individual. There are in
stances where attempts on the part of
officers to handle refractory prisoners
With kid glove. methods have resulted

transcript of the report Of the grand
jury sitting recently in Mingo county,

various offences against the law. There
were Is indictments for murder, 96 for

COPPER IS KING.

The copper output of Arizona last year was 71,000,0O0 pounds, or 21 ,000,- 900 pounds more than in 1895. E11- rope is using more of this metal than ever before. Copper is now king in the "sun-kissed territory."-Los An geles Times
 This is quite likely an u7der esti- mate owing to the fact that many small mines throughout the territory are shipping their ores to smelters outside.
 The output of the Copper Qu;en, United Verde, Arizona Copper com Iary, Old Dominion and Detroit com panies, the principal mines Of the ter ritory, was 11,766,159 pounds, about 21,000,000 pounds greater than in 1895 This years product is bound greatly to exceed 71,O0O,O00 pounds and will go far toward pushing Arizona into the front rsrk of copper producing states.
 During the last year Aus tralia pro duced ,000 tons of copper, Germany 18,G00 tons, Japan 21 ,O00, Chilli g, ,OOO, Spain 53,000, and the United States 204,O00. With the exception of Spain among the foreign producers, and Montana, at home, Arizona gave to the world a larger quantity of copper than any country or state
 The total worlds production last year was 373,0O0 tons, and the four most productive copper mines were the Anaconda in Montana the Calumet & Hecla in the Lake Superior dis trict, which produced respectively 56,- GOO and 10000 tons, and the Rio Tinto and Tharsis mines in Spain, the for mer producing 32,0OO tons and the latter 22,00O.
 Germany, England and France are each using more of the metal than ever before, and local demand strong is an assured fact. An upper copper market may be expected and copper will be king.-Jerome Mining News.

THE DUNCAN MINE.

Ethan A. Gilbert, chief car inspect or of the S. P. with headquarters at Sacramento, is in Yuma on business connected with the Duncan Mining and Milling company, in which he is interested. MT. Gilbert superintemded the construction of a new style stamp mill built by the Joshua Hendy Ma chine works at San Francisco. The mill, which has the capacity of a reg ular twenty stamp mill, arrived We'd nesday and is being hauled out to the company's mine twelve miles up the Colorado river, says the Yuma Sentinel. The machine is quite a novelty and was examined by a num- Der of mining men who did not hesi- tate to pronounce it great invention. This is the first mill of the kind brought to this section of the coun- try and is the largest one ever built by the company. It consists of four batteries of two stamps each, the bat teries working independent of each other, thus allowing the mill doing custom work to handle ore from four different sources at one time. Its chief advantage, however, is in the discharge which is triple instead of single and increases the capacity per stamp to more than twice that of the regular mill. A single battery used in
 prospecting and development work is certainly great success, permit ting nine owners to develop their property at comparatively small out lay, and there is no reason why the machines will not work collectively to the same advantage. The Duncan company will soon demonstrate the capacity of the mill by adding matter ially to the single standard circulat- ing medium.
