THE STRENGTH OF THE
TREADWELL.

A leading copper producer has Just reported that
9* cents pound. This is probably about the
minimum cost of producing copper outside Of the
Verde Copper Belt in Yavapai county, Arizona.
. The George A. Treadwell Mining Company owns
the richest-unless 1t may be that its near neigh
por the United Verde, is equally rich-and certain
~ the most extensive property on the Verde Belt,
ara 1t IL 30 situated that 1t produce copper
cneaply as 1t can be produced anywhere In this
great and rich district.
It Is not a question of experiment. but a proved
ana demonstrated fact, that the cost Of producing
copper on the Verde Copper Belt and laying It
down in New York Is only 81 cents pound.
With copper at II cents there is a profit Of 81
cents a pound for the Treadwell. against 27s
cents for producers outside this district. With
copper at 10 cents a pound there is profit Of
zoo per cent for us, while outside producers have
margin altogether too narrow for safety. With
copper at 8 cents a pound there is bankruptcy for
them, but handsome dividends for US.

Kaiping Occupied.

Che FOO, July 3, 11:55 p. ma small
Japanese force occupied Kaiping on
June % and found the Russians had
fallen back to Tai Tche Kiao. The Jap
anese expect that q big battle will be
fought at Tai Tche Kiao, but in other
quarters it is believed that the Rus
slams probably will retreat to Liao
Yang, as otherwise they would be cut
off at Hal Cheng by the Takushan
division of the Japanese army. 1t is
possible that this already has occurred,
as the Takushan division was within
striking distance of Hal Cheng week
ago.
With the exception that the Japan
ese navy assisted the army in captur-
ing some heights near ort Arthur ON
June 2S, no additional details of the
recent activity around the Russian
stronghold have been received here.
The Chinese government is adopting
stringent measures to prevent the ship
ping of contrabrand of of war from
this port. Two Russians were arrest
ed as they were leaving junk loaded
wit hproyisions for Port Arthur.

RUSSIANS GOT AWAY.
vladiyostok Squadron Again Eludes
vice Admiral Kamimura.

Toxic, July 80 a. m.--The Vladi-
vostok squadron eluded Vice Admiral
Kamimura's squadron eastward Of the
island of. Tsu Friday in the darkness.
A drizzling rain and fog favored the
Russian vessels. The two squadrons
met early in the evening, the Russians
being north of Xxi island and the Jap
anese south of Tsu island. They were
ten miles apart The Russians bolted
to the northeast when they were dis
covered by Vice Admiral Kamimura.
The latter chased them at full speed.
The Japanese torpedo boats steamed
ahead and eneered within the range of
the Russian guns. The Russian vessels
vigorously shelled the Japanee torpedo
boat. This firing explains the cannon
aiding heard at Tsu island and gave rise
to the belief that a general engagement
was in progress Vice Admiral Kami-
mura gained on Russian ships and was
only five miles in the rear when sud
denly at 8 p. m. all the Russian vessels
extinguished their lights and disappear
ed in the darkness. At that time the
Japanese torpedo boats were pressing
the Russians who had been using their
searchlights. The torpedo boats failed
to get close enough to the Russian
squadron to discharge torpedoes.

MURDER AND ARSON CASE.
MAN ARRESTED ON DOUBLE
CHARGE IN BRIDGEPORT

william Briclkford, Coachman, Be
lieved to Have Set Fire to His Form-
er Employers Barn and to Have
Burned to Death the Man Who Took
His PIace-TeIl-taIe Remark.
Bridgeport, July S.--As the result of
the burning Of the barn Of Jonathan
O'Brien at 2141 North avenue and Of
the finding of the charred skeleton of
Thomas Keefe, William Brickford, the
coachman at the O'Brien place, is held
by the police here on the charge Of ar
son and murder, pending an irlvestiga-
tion. The circumstances in connection
with the finding this morning Of the
bones of. Keefe are perplexing to the
police. 1t is known that Keefe, who
was formerly the coachInan at Mr..
O'Brien's, and Brickford went to the
barn last night about II O'Clock and
that both men had been drinking. OF
this the police are certain. About 2
O'Clock the barn was seen to be on fire
and the fire department was called inn
mediately. The fire was a fierce one
and when it was at its height Brick
ford approached Chief Mooney and said
that he believed that his friend Keefe
was ''in there somewhere. On ac-
count Of the headway that the fire had
gained the f1remen were obliged to wait
until it had almost burned out before
they could investigate. IA search OF
the premises was finally made and the
charred bones Of Keefe was found in
that part Of the barn used as the hay
loft. Brickford was Immediately placed
under arrest, and as the circumstances
were made known to the police he was
held on the double charge as stated
above.
CHIEF Birmingham of the police de-
partment stated tonight Keefe had
made known his intentions of trying to
secure his old position, the one held by
Brickford, ana that the statement given
by the latter tonight would not be
made known at this time.
Chief Mooney of the fire department
said that had Brickford told him sooner
that he believed Keefe was in the barn
it would have been an easy matter ia
have made a rescue.
