COPPER MINING

The production of copper for the first half of the current year, as re- ported by Secretary Stanton to the Copper Producers Association, does not fulfill the expectation of an increased output by the mines in the United States. In fact the figures show n de. crease of l, lS3 tons from the produc- tion for the first six months of 1900. In explanation of this falling off it is stated that some of the larger mines have probably curtailed their output. At any rate the assertion is disproved that the high price of copper would so stimulate production as to demoralize the market for copper and result in q much lower level of prices. The price of copper remains steady at seventeen cents for Lake, despite the heavy fall ing of in exports, which have been of set by the increased demand for home consumption.
 It looks like safe prediction that of the three great copper producing dis tricts Arizona will be the only one to show an increased production for the year 1901. Arizona's advance will be sure but not rapid She has far greater copper bearing area than either

Official Paper of Gila County
FIRE PROTECTION AND IN
 SURANCE.

In an editorial on the subject of fire insurance published in the Nogales Oasis, Major w. II. Bonsall of Los Angeles, who represents two com panies in the Pacific Insurance Union, is thus quoted;
 "Major Bonsal informed The Oasis that the recent disastrous fires at Globe, Williams and elsewhere in Ari- zona, have made the Insurance Union very conservative and they have de cided to cancel all insurance in all towns in the territory except whore there is the most adequate fire protec tion. For that reason all insurance in Globe has been cancelled--the recent disincorporation of the town and con sequent diminution of fire fighting facilities having made the town too risky for insurance. For sufficient reasons of the same nature all in- surance in the towns in the Gila val ey-Solomonville, Stafford, Thatcher and Pima-has been cancelled
 The major is not go we'll informed us ought to be expected of man in his position. He Is mistaken in the statement thar ''all insurance in Globe has been cancelled" The facts are that twenty five policies in one or two companies were cancelled after the late fire, but were immediately rewritten in other companies. The Phoenix of Hartford, is the only company that has recently withdrawn from Globe. Neither Is there any semblance of truth ln the assertion that there has been dlminution of the fire fighting facilities in Globe. On the contrary they have been materially strengthened. New water mains have been laid, the number of fire plugs is to be increased and we have reservoir containing l35, 900 gallons to draw upon, with a good pressure, in case of a recurrence of fire. Globe also has one of the best volunteer fire companies in the terri tory, always prompt to respond to an alarm, and who have on several oc- casions saved the town from disastrous confagrations. Their handling of the last fire could not have been better, as they held the flames in check, facing the clustering heat, and prevented the destruction of the business portion of town which was seriously menaced. Pioneer Hose company deserve all the credit that can be bestownd upon them. Their efficiency will be further in creased by the purchase of new apparatus, for which the business men of Globe have subscribed.
 The SILVER BELT believes that there Is one thing more needful to safeguard the town against general fire and that Is a chemical engine, which has been proven in other places more effective than water in fighting fire. and we hope that the business men and prop erty owners of Globe will see the ne- cessity for it, and subscribe to fund for the purchase of an engine. The possession of such a machine would effect n reduction of insurance rates that would soon cover it's cost.

Montana or Michigan, but the copper industry Is comparatively in its infancy III this territory. and it will require several years to elapse before the re- suits of the immense amount of capital now being invested in copper mining in Arizona and the extensive develop ment work following it, becomes strik- ingly apparent. Then Arizona will go to the front with bound and will con tinue to hold first place in the produc- ton of the red metal.

The international Monthly.

We doubt If many people in the state
of Vermont are fully aware of the fact
that one of the best. most scholarly and
most comprehensive of the monthly re-
views is owned, edited and published in
their own state. We refer to 1.-The In
ternational Monthly a Magazine of Con-
temporary Thought" which is the ad-
mirably conducted enterprise of Fred
erick A Richardson of Burlington. The
International Monthly is now in its
fourth volume It's contributors are lead
ing thinkers, not only in this country,
but in England, in France, Germany, and
Italy. For illustration we quote the con-
tents of the current (November) issue:
Ernest Renan and the Soul of the Celt,
by L. Marillier; American Democracy
(concluded) by Hugo Munsterberg: A
Political Survey of Francesca Crispi by
Salvatore Cortesi; Strikes and the Phil
osophy of the Strikers. by Frank X.
Foster; Industrial Combinations in
Europe, by jeremiah w. jerks; the
Future of the Gold Supply, by H. S,
Shaler; Christian and Infdel in the Holy
Land, by Dana Carleton Munro. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that The Inter-
national Monthly is not a popular mag
azine, but a magazine for thinkers. An
article of unusual value was printed in
the October number on 1.-THE American
System of Supreme Courts" comparing
in an Illuminating way our judicial pro-
cedure in this respect with that of Euro
pean countries.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(BenSOns Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tices or Plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent; 1t is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neural ia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people OF every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
Gfty.fge highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any 4mber ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

Successful Work of Evangelist Who is
Coming to BrattIeboro.

Rev. Mr.. Davidson, who will have
charge of the evangelistic services
which will begin in Brattleboro Dec.
20, is now at work in Clyde. N. Y, and
the Clyde Times of Oct. 31st said, in
part: "The evangelistic meetings now
in progress are increasing in interest,
as indicated by the fact that over so
have already signified their desire to
become Christians, and there seems
to be deepening impression through
out the community. Mr.. Davidson
has been preaching some very search
ing sermons, cutting to the quick and
causing some to think more seriously
of their peril. The sermon Sunday
evening was perhaps one of the most
pointed and practical ever preached
in Clyde, from the text, "The wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord" 1t cannot but help bear fruit
in the future On Monday evening he
preached an earnest and eloquent ser
mon to young men on the subject "The
Successful Young Man" taking for
the text What is your life?"
After reviewing other sermons
preached by Mr.. Davidson the Times
said: Mr.. Davidson is an evangelist of
rare wisdom and skill, always faith
full and fearless in the presentation of
truth, but he does this with such low
ing earnestness that none can take Of
tense, though they are not won. That
he is perhaps the most popular evan
gelist of the day is evident from the
fact that he is receiving three and four
invitations every day to hold evangel-
istic services; he could easily dupli-
cate himself ten fold and then have no
time to spare. The churches of Clyde
are most fortunate in securing him for
this favorable season.

DowNED HEAVY KEENE TEAM.
Brattleboro High School Boys Played
in Luck and Won Out 6 to S.

In a fierce, driving game Brattleboro
High school won from Keene High school
on the home gridiron Wednesday, 6 to 5.
Keene looked a winner in the second half,
with the ball on Brattleboros five yard
line after a series of steady gains, but on
the next pass, Johnson, the flaxen-haired
centre. shot through the Keene line,
knocked the ball from the half back, and
fell upon IT before anybody else fully
realized what had happened There was
only time for Brattleboro to take the
ball back eight yards before time was
called
Keene kicked off. Brattleboro was slow
in handling the ball, but retained 1t on
the ten yard line. The local players then
began a swift. hard, bucking game car
rying the ball by gains of two to six
yards through the line on each plunge.
Barber and Frost were called upon for a
large share of the plunging. Games made
ten yards around right end, once nearly
got a clear field Keene made a desper-
ate rally inside the ten yard line, but
Frost finally tore through for the re-
quisite distance. and Averill kicked a
goal.
On the next kickoff Richardson FUN
bled the ball but fell upon II. Brattleboro
repeated the line buckng tactics, but
lost the ball near the centre of the field
on tumble. Keene, after being weak on
ueleuSes now started n WnlrlWlnu OHenSe,
and took the ball quickly to the - yard
line before time was called.
In the second half Keene repeated Brat
tleboros performance in the first, ham
mering the line for steady gains. using
principally the tackle through tackle and
guard through guard plays. for good
gains Keenes failure to kick goal after
Holiness touchdown left the score to 5.
On the next kick-off Keene started of
even swifter than before, seeming to car
ry the Brattleboro boys Off their. feet.
1t looked dark for Brattleboro, and every
body was saying nothing but a tumble
can save them now when Johnson's SEN
sational play saved the day
Barber and Frost as usual distinguish
ed themselves by consistent ground gain
ing and shared with Carleton the honors
in tackling. The Keene eleven averag-
Ing much heavier than Brattleboro gave
fine exhibition of banging team work
when carrying the ball, but this was not
their lucky day.

The Audubon Society Monday Niche


About thirty persons were present
at the regular monthly meeting of the
Audubon society Monday night. Two
new members were received. Mrs.
Elizabeth B. Davenport and Mrs. Anna
B. Phelps were elected delegates to
the second annual conference of the

is in connection with the Congress of
the American Ornithologist union at
the Museum of Natural History.
Mrs. Davenport read reports of the
work of different state Audubon soci-
cites, speaking of educational work in
the Eastern states. In Florida and
along the coast the work has been not
only educational but legislative, with
the object of preserving our native
birds Many states furnish circulat-
ing libraries on nature work to be
placed in schools in outlying districts.
The president, Mrs. Horton, gave an
informal talk on the subject of bird
migration in general. Miss Emma
Gregg read an interesting account of
VIM. Brewster's observations at PIT,
Lepreaux, Bay Of Fundy, and facts and
theories concerning the general sub
ject of bird migration. Miss Selleck
spoke of birds seen in Cleveland, Ohio,
and Mrs. Stockwell told of an interest
ing experience with vireo at Sunset
