4 meeting of the shareholders of the
Arizona Copper company, limited, was
held in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the
4th inst. to hear a statement from Supt.
Colquhoun. The chairman said the
promise made some time ago that
they should have an opportunity of
meeting Supt. Colquhoun while he was
in that country. Supt. Colquhoun and
other employees of the company at
Clifton had purchased largely of the
shares of the company, but were sur
prised that while they were success
fully working and making lots of
money for the shareholders, the latter
ton, which they in Arizona did not see
was to be of any profit. After describ'
ing in detail the various mines ard
works at Clifton, Supt. Colquhoun said
that during the past four years the de,
velopment and increase of plant had
revolutionized their business methods
He had solved the problem of making
low grade ores a valuable asset, and
they had found they could make money
from them. Their plant had been
strained to the utmost, and had gone
more and more out of date. During
the present half year they had not
been doing nearly as we'll as six months
ago, aud they did not do as we'll sis
months ago as the previous six months
They had been suffering from a ire
mendous congestion of business, but
they had relieved the situation con
siderably. They should have to bear
on the problem the best appliance,
that now could be had. The i'm portant
thing was not now what it would cost
but could they make copper when cop
per went back in price to its old value
They had no right to expect that they
copper men alone, should benefit by
the prosperity which everyone enjoyed
all over the world at the present time
Could they, when these hard time,
came again, from these per cent ores

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county Of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of ard | adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper i Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,0000 000 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000,001, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under its em. ploy for years, that the Queen mins now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that i the property of the Cochise company is l fully as valuable, when it is wiIhin such close proximity to such won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention. The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity. who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise success in every respect. The board ol directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for a term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and Him. ited number of shares are offered at twenty five C. per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 HVely CoHI IScelFeu lIOn uHe Sdl6 oi stock will be expended toward the de- velopment of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and al! ether necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives.

QHICIQ| PQpeT Of COClISe Co.
ON THE TRAIL OF TRUSTS.

The Texas Democratic delegation al
 the national capital is very active in ths
 formulation of legislation in opposition
 to the trusts. Some of the Republicani from other states have introduced sew eral antitrust bills, but the Democrati of Texas claim precedence. They have introduced a greater number of bills O
 this character than the Republicans o many states combined, and their pro posed methods are more drastic. q,
 One of the Texas bills provides fol absolute free trade in all articles now ol the dutiable list and controlled by g , trust. Another proposes to deprive trusts of the use of the mails for the purpose of obtaining business. The hopeful inventor of that plan thinks the trusts could be driven out of business in that way just as the Louisiana lottery : was. Another Texas bill prohibits steamboats and railroads engaged in in :, terstate commerce from transporting trust articles between the states, and still anotheree to make g trust doing business in states citizen of that state, depriving iteof the benefit of federal courts in suits or prosecutions.
 One of the most interesting of the Texas measures provides that in cases where the governor or executive officer of any state or territory makes requi- sitlon upon the governor or executive officer of another state or territory for, the surrender of fugitive from justice against whom an indictment has been found in the courts of the state making the requisition, the said indictment shall be accepted by the state upon which requisition is made as conclusive and indisputable proof that the person wanted is a fugitive from justice, and that such requisition shall be honored. It is the design of the framer of the last mentioned measure to give Texas and other states having severe antitrust laws the power to capture offending trust magnates wherever they may be found. Under the operation of such law Texas could soon accumulate large colony. of millionaires and the Texas penitentiary would have very distin- guished population.-El Paso Herald.

Indian Repartee.

An Indian agent who was militia
colonel desired to impress the Indians
with the magnitude of his dignity.
He dressed himself in full uniform,
with his sword by his side and rising
in the council told them that one rea-
son why the great father had had so
much trouble with his red children
was that he had sent civilians to
them.
"You are warriors" he said, "and
when the great father saw me he said,
4 will send this man, who Is a great
warrior, to my red children, who are
warriors, and they will hear his
words.'"
An old chief arose and. surveying
the speaker from head to foot, said
calmly; "SInce | was small boy l

one. l have looked upon one, and
now | am ready to die."-"Remlnis-

Their costumes are in many instances
elegant and expensive. They have to
take good care of them and of their

stage they have their fixed positions

When one of the Mansfield supers
was asked the other day whether
supers ever felt nervous, he was en-
phatic in declaring that they did.
