few years must be met from the pres ent known sources of copper supply, and with the prospect of active and eX- banding trade in copper consuming circles the industries using this mntal are deeply interest d in the close race between productiC and consumption. The developments in the past dozen years may be batter aDprc ciatsd when the fact is considered that although the worlds production of copper has in creased about 222, ,090 tons since 1888, the foreign visible suT olies of copper have decrc cased since ttat year from 104,O91 tons on Dec. 31, 1888, to 2s,9SO tons on Dee. 15, 1900. At the present. time Eu- ropCan consumers are said to be very bare of stock. anl buy from hand to mouth as they ned, while those in close t-uch with the trade abroad re- port a scarcity of Che higher quality of copper for electrical purposes. With such facts in evidence, ha question Of Q sufficient copper itpUt for the worlds needs is apparent. While the total copper production of the world dur ing the nineteenth century is estimated at about lwerty billion pounds it is a remarkable fact that the process of absorption has left but a comparative ly small proportion Of this vast quan- tity available in it's original state

BURT'S BAD BREAK
Tried to Get Away From the Officers
 at Yuma

Matt Burts, the convlcted train roh-< Der, made a G5old break fer liberty Thursday evening in the Southern Pa cific hotel lunch room at Yuma. With other convicts, he was en route to the territorial prison under the charge of Cochise county officials. The Yuma Sun thus describes the occurrence:
 Deputy Shcriffs John White and A. V. Lewis-the latter the sheriff-elect of Cochise county-had arrived from Tombstone on the morning train in charge of six convicts for the penften- tiary, including Matt Burts, the train r-bber, and Sid Page, a twenty-year man convicted of murder. The depu- ties were accompanied by J. c. Page and William Richey as guards. The two convicts named, fastened together by the left arm of the first and the right arm of the latter, were seated at the counter when Burts made his sen sational break for liberty. Guard Richey, who was stationed at the door leaiing from the lunch room into the barroom, guarding the convio.s, called to Burts to get down and allow room for the other men to eat. Burts, who was not far from the officer, took a desperado's chance, and pulling his companion with him, made for Richey and attempted to secure possession of the latter's gun. A scuffie ensued, in which Burts was pushed backward. when he turned and tried to grab the firearm worn by Deputy White, who was advancing to the fray from the other end of the counter, where he had been eating. In the meantime Deputy Lewis, who is an exceedingly tall and powerful man, had grabbed Burts' frne arm instead of shooting the man as most officers would have done, and dragged both hin. and his companion, who, however, was willing enough to go, into the barroom. Burts very quickly decided that he was outclassed and gave up the contest.
 Ut was an exceedingly sensational occurrence and if the desperado had succeeded in getting hold of a gun there would have been plenty of blood shed ito satisfy the most excitement loving cnlookrr. Deputy Lewis action is pronounced as having been very courageous. Those who witnessed the affray think Cochise has chosen a first class officer for the coming two years"

Pekin, Dec. 30.-Chinese nlenipoten- tiaries have been unexpectedly or dered to sign the preliminary joint note and have notified the foreign envoys to that effect. The Chinese officials themselves were greatly astonished at receiving the imperial instructions. Neither Ii Hung Chang 1ior Prince Ching had expected success in per suading the court under ten days. The empe=or's instructions are to agree fully to the note, but to endelvcr to get the best terms possible particular ly in the matter of limiting the num- Der of legation guards and also as to the places whsre there are to be b. cated. The plenipotentiaries are in structed to cndeaYor to limit the num- Der of army posts along the line of railway to as few 2s possible, and finally to request the powers net to destroy the forts, but merely to dis arm them.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 30.-John Smith. an empioye of the Scheiderwind Broom factory, has positively identified Pat Grove as the man who rented the Sch neiderwihd house in which Eddie Cud- ahy was held by his kidnapers. This is the first positive reorganization of any of the bandits.
 When shown a picture of Grove Smith said: You need not show me any pictures. I know that man. It was Pat Grove. I was busy at the broom machine when Grove called to rent the house, and paid no attention to hi-n during his talk with Mrs. Schneider wind. Then I thought I recognized his voice and stopped the machine long enough to get a good look at him. l saw at a glance that the man was none other than Grove, the man whom had known for ten years. I am as positive as to the identity of Grove as I would be of my own brother"
 Detectives today verified Smiths story and are now satisfied beyond doubt of Groves connection with the abduction. Smith has lived in Omaha for twelve years and has known Grove for much of that time.

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 3O.-Small- poX is raging in the lumber camps of Northern Minnesota. having been brought in from Michigan, and the greatCst alarm prevails. Several thou sand woodsmen have already fled from the camps, in an endeavor to escape the dread disease. and the indications are that unless stringent measures are aopted at once, there will not be a man left in the pineries with the end- in gof the present week.
 Many of the camps, especially those in the Deer river country, are under quarantine, and Q desperate effort is being made by the authorities to pre- vent a further spread of the disease. But the men are thoroughly frightened and at the present tilr.e have absolute ly TO regard for tha mandates OF the health officers. They are breaking away from the camps in droyes, and making for this and other large citie,; where it is feared they will spread ths plague.
 Thus far nonn of the patients afTlict- ed wftt smallpox have died, as the disease appears to be of an unusually mild type but 1t Is sufficient t- keep the sick persons confined to their beds iu rough, uncomfortable log shanties, wher" the nursing facilities are poor.

 Just how much richer Vardon is from the American appreciation of his mag rificent golf is problem that many have attempted solve, but Vardon's manager, Charles s. Cox, has consis- tently maintained a spflinx-like silence on the subject. Vardon's personal profits probably amounted to $1O.OOO.

 The doctor made his way back to the city hall and reached it in time to prevent a part of the crowd from mak- ing rush upstairs where the suspect was guarded by a handful of officers.

KALEIDOSCOPE OF SURPRISE
Through Which Two Visitors to Phoe-
 nix Were Given a Look

Dr. D. B. LeForce of Ottumwa, Ia, and his son. Dr. w. E. LaForce, ar rived in the city yesterday morning on their way to California. They. were attracted to Phoenix by the presence of MT. J. NJ. Duffield and his son, Dr.. Wm Duffield. The elder Dr. LaForce and MT. DufIield were schoolboys to- gether q half century ago and served tOgethtr through the civil war. The younger Dr. LaForce and pr. Duffield were classmates for seven years, four in collegiate course and three in a medical college.
 The visitors were shown about the town and the adjacent country as far out as the orange groves northeast of the city. They were. very much inter- ested in the irrigation system of the valley. Dr. LaForce said that his ride furnished him a panorama of sur prises. He had not known before that there was a valley here. He had heard of the Salt River valley and Phoenix, but had supposed that it was only a health resort, set down in a narrow cleft between two mountain ranges.
 The elder Dr. LaForce has been a conspicuous figure in Iowa politics and was for long period a member of the state legislature. He was also mayor of Ottumwa for several years.
 There is one incident of his official career which will always finger with him. A man charged with an out rageous asauslt upon little girl had been captured and a lynching was all most certain. The passions of a quickly formed mob were abnormally excited by the circumstance that shortly before a man morally proven guilty in court of a particularly brutal murder had been acquitted by the jury.
