 The work of paying the awards made by the government eleven months ago tO the Mcdowell settlers is now going on. There is about $5O,000 here for that purpose. A few of the settlers were dissatisfied with the award and are refusing to accept the sums allowed them. Their claims will have to be ad- justed later. IL appears that the A pa. ches are not making as good use of the reservation as the Squatters did and in some quarters it is thought that a mis- take has been made in ousting lot of home makers for the benefit of the h. dians. The Indians are rapidly recon verting the settlement into the desert. The settlers all had houses aud some of them were very good ones. When the Indians took possession they did not occupy the houses but erected thelr wickiups about them and began tear ing down the houses for firewood. The fence posts and and all other lumber improvements which the government is paying the settlers for are going the same way. Republican.

Our Copper Production.

MT. Horace J. Stevens, in his an nual review of the American copper trade, estimates that Arizona pro- duced 15O, 100000 pounds of copper last year. This is heavy increase over former years. Thus, the ac- tual production in 1902 was 119,- 944, ,944 pounds, and in 1901 it was 13O,77S,611 pounds.
 The production of the principal mines in this territory for the year is estimated by Mir. Stevens as fol- lows:
 Copper Queen 37 ,5Oo,Oco pounds; Arizona Copper company, 3O,OOO,- GOO; United Verde, 3O,O0O.O O.OOO; Calumet & Arizona, 25,OOO,O00; De- troit Copper company, 20,OO0,OOO; Shannon Copper company, II ,OOO,- GOO; Old Dominion. 9,O0O,O00. It will be seen that this estimate az gregates 162, 100000 pounds or 12,- 5OO,OOO pounds more than the esti- mated total for the entire territory.
 Mir. Stevens points out that Ari- zona "is the scene of the most pro- nounced activity in copper mining developments in any part of the United States"
