Wednesday. November 27, 1901.

A most diabolical crime was COM
Iaitted in Anderson county on the
afternoon of November 23rd. A negro
called at the door of Mr.. Perry Craft,
who lives about eight miles from the
City CT Anderson, and asked for some
thing to eat Mrs. Craft, who was
alone in the house, told him that there
was nothing in the house but some
cold potatoes. The negro then re-
quested to purchase 5 cents worth
but when he saw the potatoes he
seemed to get insulted and exclaimed:
Damn you, I believe I'llN kill you"
Mrs. Craft became very much
alarmed and turned to flee, and on
reaching the door on the opposite
side of the room, the negro fred
once, the ball taking effect in Mrs.
Crafts back, near the spine. Her
husband and father, who were at
work in near by field, heard the
shots and started for the house i'm
mediately. After the shooting the ne
gro fed, was pursued and captured.
The news of the shooting quickly
spread and the whole country was
aroused and after the capture Of the
negro, who turned out to be an ex-
convict from Newberry county, he
was taken before his victim and was
identified by her he was then
taken about half mile from the
scene of his crime and strung to a
limb after making a confession. The
lynching, it is said, was participated
in by many leading citizens and some
negroes. The physicians are Of the
opinion that Mrs Craft cannot live.
Such are the facts, condensed from
the report published in the News
and Courier.
From the evidence in this case it
appears that the lynchins of the ne
gro was wholly uDjustifable and
without the semblance of excuse.
The negro, though demented and an
ex-convict, which he unquestionably
was should have been given fair
and impartial trial in the lawfully
constituted courts of the State. As
unprovoked and atrocious as his
crime was, his lynching was more so
because participated in by intelligent
and leading citizens, whose influence
should have been exerted in the
preservation of law and order, rather
than aiding and assisting in their
violation

Copper Gossip of Interest to Arizona.

The recent decline in the price of copper to e69 (335.7S) per ton in the con- trolling market of England, with the fact that the total European imports of that metal averaged only 1S,091 tons per month during January, February and March, 1901, against g, 600 tons per month from April l to December 31, 1900, have been widely discussed as indications of the restricted activity which now prevails in electrical and certain other branches of manufacture throughout Great Britain, France and Germany. That this Hull is but tempo rary and due largely to the paralysis of export trade incident to the wars in South Africa and Asia, is generally be- lieved- Meanwhile the slight decline in the price of copper brings that met al into closer harmony with the current values Of steel and iron, and has al- ready acted as a stimulant to consum- CTS, who are counting on the steadily increasing production of North Ameri- ca to maintain the future price of cop per at or even below its present value. The present situation is one of unusual interest.
 Although complete statistics for the year 1900 are not yet at hand, the Los Angeles Herald says that 1t is closely estimated that out of the worlds pro- duct of about 40, ,SS6 tons, North America yielded 26s, 7s7 tons, England 520 tons, Austria-Hungary 113O tons, Russia 5000 Chile 9, 100 tons, Germany 31, ,e50 tons and Japan 2, 7,500 tons-the remainder coming mainly from Aus tralia, Tasmania and Spain. Accord ing to these figures, which are expert estimates by high commercial author ities, the production of Russia declined 800 tons and that of Germany 5126 tons, as compared with those of the last preceding year.-Ex.

United States Court.

The United States Court-Judge Doan, presiding-which was in session at Florence adjourned last week. The grand jury brought in eleven indict- ments, as follows: Selling liquor to Indians, 8; larceney on military reser- vation, ?; counterfeiting money, 4; pre- senting fraudulent voucher, l; adul- tery, l.
 Those indicted for counterfeiting were from Graham county. They were Mauro Leisering, Augustin Moncaro, Alfonso Romero and Ygnacio Acosta, had their cases put off till the Novem- Der term. The court fixed bond at $500 each, but accused are still in jail.
 Jesus Navarro, of Casa Grande, where he is known as Black Jack, was convict ed of selling liquor to Indians, and was sentenced to pay a fine Of $l0O and serve one year in the Yuma prison.
 AlonZo Esquerra and Manuel Balles- tro, indicted for larceny on a reserva- tion, was sentenced to one year in Yuma and the latter to pay fine of S200 in addition.

The copper era., 1901-05-23

IN California electrical power is transmitted distance of l40 miles from the point at which it is generated by water power. The Blue, on the San Francisco river offers many favorable locations for damsites for the storage of water which could be used for cleo trical purposes and transferred to Cliff ton and Morenci by cable, where it could be used in the plants or mines of the various companies. This would do away with the vast amount Of coal and coke now used here and which is quite expensive. No doubt the feasibil- ity of such a scheme will be thoroughly investigated during the next few years, and if found practicable, u plant will be erected. The field is certainly most promising one for the investment of capital.
The copper era., 1901-05-23

| THE people Of the lower Glla valley have received a serious blow by the
 arbitrary tariff ruling of the Southern
 Pacific Company. The s. P. manage
 ment, it seems, is sore at the Bisbee
 people because they are building road Of their own from Bisbee to Fl Paso, and in order to raise the rates on
 freight into Bisbee they found it
 necessary to raise the rate not only on
 the s. P. but on all of its branches in
 Arizona. This effects the Gila Valley,
 Globe and northern railroad. The
 new tariff on that line practically bot
 ties up the lower Gila Valley, and un-
 less relief of some kind can be secured it
 will prove most serious blow to every
 industry in that section. The new rate is raise of about 8 per ton on alfalfa
 from points in the valley to Bisbee, and is also considerable raise to Globe and all points along the Gila Valley
 road. This cuts the very life out of the
 farmer as it effects all produce of the valley in like ratio with the rate on al-
 falfa. The people of the valley have
 been holding meetings for the past two
 weeks in order to devise ways and
 means of having the old rate restored.
 The Bulletin, in commenting on the last meeting said:
 An enthusiastic body of men met at the Court house to choose d committee to meet with a similar body from each of the four adjacent towns. The sub ject was the unjust discrimination that the railroads hauling goods between here and Bisbee have made in rates. It means death to the valley if this in- justice is allowed to go unchallenged. That it will not go unchallenged, and that injustice will be met by retaliating measures if necessary, is evident from the temper of Wednesday nights meet ing. A committee of three will repre- sent this place at the Stafford meeting on Thursday. This was composed of Chas. F. Solomon. Frank Dysart and Thomas Smith. They went uninstruct- ed but as matter Of record and as a hint of line to be pursued it was re- solved that failing an amicable adjust ment, retaliatorY measures @ -M2pttfH4 M}I2&tpIstf4 that not one pound of freight will be hauled by either the Southern dSllC Oi bllC 'Illd dllCys 1lOOC S Northern, for either of the four towns represeL ted. That the merchant will suffer loss in teaming the goods from an Atchison point rather than submit to such eXtortion.
 This arbitrary ruling on the part of the s. P. only proves the helplessness of the situation of the people. Itis foolish to talk about freighting goods from the Santa Fe. It is impracticable. If the people of the Gila valley are thorough ly aroused they should go to work | to secure an extension of the San ta Fe from Silver City down the Gila via Clifton, Globe and on to Phoenix. There would be business in | such line and with a proper showing | it is likely that the bonds of such | road could be placed or, possibly under written by the Santa Fe, and thus a new outlet secured for central Arizona. It takes money 70 build railroads, but much preliminary work can first be done by the people. The Santa Fe and | s. P. are not in harmony and it is quite possible that the former could be in- duced to take hold of new enterprise as outlined above.
