Waking Up.

The St. Francois County papers
are waking up to the fact that the
liquor traffic in that county is not
unmixed with effects which can
best be dispensed with in any COM
munity. For instance, the Lead
Belt News is inspired by the fire.
quent killings which take place in
that county, to say that ''killings
are becoming entirely too numerous
in St. Francois county. The whole
sale carrying of murderous wea-
pons by the element that has no re-
gard for law and order must be
stopped. Give some men a revol-
ver and pint of rotgut whiskey
and they are ready for the commits
sion of any crime, however helm :
ous. And too often their friends
aud money work an undue infu-
with the courts and they get off
with trivial punishment or 60 scott
Free"
The Fafmington News demands
the enforcement Of the Sunday law
and calls upon the officers to do
their duty in the following tone:
''Ihings begin to look bad. Peo-
pie are talking and it looks as
though they had right to talk.
Just look at the circuit court pro-
ceedings. Twenty-Five dismissals
for one trial and conviction. We
all have faith in the ability of our
officers and are willing to back
them to the utternlost. Quit fool
ing and get down to bushes. Il

suit against them. But If they ar
guilty do your whole duty regard

Such of our citizens as are op-
posed to the illegal appropriation
of the funds of the county to aid
Crawford eoInty in BUILDING a

should begin the institution of leg

of the warrant already drawn and
presented to tho county treasurer,
but upon which payment has been
deferred for want Of funds. L ia
only question 81 time whom funds
will be provided to meet the war

thi', raid upon our county road
fund for the benefit of Crawford

Graft! graft! graft! everywhere
we hear of grating going on in

ing evidently, and we notice in
last weeks Independent hint that
even in our own county we are
suffering from tho affliction. Still
in the event that there is truth in
the allegation it would not appear
strange in view of tho fact that the
voter gratis from the candidate all
he can while the latter is running

THE TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.
Notes of Interest from Arizona's Most
Famous Camp.

Col. w. l.. Johnson and Walter
Wakefield have returned to Tombstone
after making an eastern trip SAYS the
Tucson citizen. Colonel johnson, speak
ing of the Tombstone district said that
Johnny Rainey had given 9, bond for
sixty days on three claims to Charles
Bowman. a former Tucson attorney,
the agreed price being $40, 900. Bowman
represents an eastern company. Rainey
has other properties near those bond
ed and it is expected that he will give
an option on these in a few days.
At the 100 foot level of the Tomb
stone Consolidated new pumps are be-
ing installed. By December. it is
thought, the pumps will be in opera
ton. The Tombstone Consolidated is
shipping carload of ore daily to FL
Paso. The Comet and other mines are
shippers Of ores.
Douglas Gray who has visited Tue
son several times on business for the
FL PasO smelter. has concluded terms
with the Tombstone Consolidated.
whereby the FL Paso Smelling COM
pany comes into possession of the
Lucky Cuss dumps. to the amount of
10000 tons. The ore from this dump
is going out now.
Colonel Johnson, who represents the
Nessalrodes Mining company of New
York, said that his company will very
likely take up the bond, in the sum of
$50, 900, on the mines the colonel has
been developing on Ajax Hill. a few

THE PRICE OF COPPER
Explanation Of Difference Between
New York and London Quotations

The question has been asked why
there is difference between the move
ments of the copper prices in London
and in New York. 1t had been observed
that the New York quotations have
been practically unchanged for the
last three weeks notwithstanding there
has been a great deal of fiuctuation in
the London market. Within that
time the price of copper has advanced
from CSC per ton to ESQ 6s on Thursday.
the advance beginning on the announce
ment of the closing down of the mines
and smelters of the Amalgamated Cop
per company.
The explanation is perhaps given in a
statement by General r. Allyn Lewis
VINO is as familiar with the copper
situation as anybody. The fact is
that the New York market quota tons
do not signify very much and they
are always below the market price.
Transactions in copper are made gen.
orally through the United Metals Sell
Ing company and not through the
quoted market. In London ii is differ
snt. The market there is made up
from actual transactions.
Regarding the future of copper. Gen.
Lewis said he believed that the price
would advance steadily to fourteen o..
fifteen cents and remain in that neigh
borhood. That is a natural price for
copper fixed by the demand. The
shutting down of the mines and smelt-
frs Of Montana he did not think would
greatly advance prices at the present
time. The products of the work If
they had remained in operation would
net have been placed upon the market
Tor long time YET anyhow so that
the visible supply will not be affected
at present.
The Increase in the price will come
about through healthier causes.

WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS.
The Party Last Night a Pleasant At.
fair and Well Attended.

The party last night given by tie
ladies of the reading room was sue
cess throughout. not only socially, but
financially. The hall was appropriately
decorated for the occasion with palm
leaves and pepper boughs. The cleo
trio lights were covered with paper to
represent jack olanterns and placed
about the room were genuine jack
o'lanterns made from the real and only
thing for that purpose, pumpkins.
The music was furnished by the Tue
son orchestra and was excellent. But
the most notable feature of the even
ing was the Paul Jones'"
At the commencement of this dance
the couples two-stepped a tune, then
forming in large circle did a grand
right and left, then more two-stepping
with whoever you happened to have
hold Of. By this time couples We're
hopelessly mixed. and when the call
came TO find partners there was a
scramble almost equa! TO 4 college
rush.
