The justice of the peace at Ash Fork recently sentenced a man to hard labor for six months for shoot ing-up the town. This is the kind ot medicine that should be prescribed for all gun toters and shooters. These disturbers of the peace are no benefit to any community. They should always receive the full bene- fit of the law. Arizona is now civ ilized country and the hard custom CTS and tough hOmbres must be taught to realize this fact.

Walkers weekly letter of Decem- Der l, is as follows: There is famine in copper Cash copper is selling around Is cents. Small lots have sold as high as 1S4 cents, and that price is asked. For delivery during the first three months of the year, lake is I'll to 174 cents, and electrolytic is IT. cents per pound. On this basis sales are being made for delivery as far ahead as March. Consumers are now generally satisfied with the legiti- macy of the abnormally high prices, and are showing a disposition to pro tect themselves against even higher prices after the first of the year by as can be learned there is no specu- lation going on in the metal. To sum the situation up briefly, con- sumption is greater than production, Edemand exceeds supply, all surplus stocks of copper have been exhaust ed, the needs of consumers have not been wholly taken care of, and when ever a small lot of copper makes it's appearance there are several buyers to bid up prices against one another. There is nothing in sight that promises relief from present Condi- tions. Consumption of copper is ap- parently increasing more rapidly than production, and, until business expansion lets up little, this will undoubtedly continue. The foreign situation is just as strong as the do- nestle, the prospect being that there will be relatively larger increase of consumption in Europe than in the United States next year. With all supplies exhausted and the business situation giving the future promise that it now is, it seems probable that the average price of copper for 1906 will be approximately 17 cents per pound. The days of Scent to 12- cent copper are past. It is very evi- dent to every student of the situa- tion that the average price of the metal will be higher in the coming decade than during the past thirty years. There is every possible basis for the belief that the bull market in the coppers is as yet only fairly under way. I believe that big profits will be made by buying almost any one of the better class of coppers at present prices.

Dispatches from Boston announce that November has been unquestion- ably the best month of the year in the volume of business done in cop per securities. An interesting feature of the situation has been the large shifting of business from the lake stocks to the Arizona, Utah and Montana stocks, the greatest activity and the largest gains having been scored in these. Amalgamated, Greene North Butte, Bingham, Bos- ton Consolidated, Old Dominion, Par rot, United States, Utah and United Copper, together, increased in mar ket value over twenty-nine and one half millions, while the lake proper ties only increased nominal S271 ,0O0.

Sheep Fund Pays So Cents

The Board of Supervisors of
Clarke County held an all-day ses-
sion Monday and settled a large
number of claims. When all of
the claims for sheep killed by dogs
were compiled, it was found that
the dog tax would only pay so
cents on the dollar of these claims.
The appOrtionment was made at
that rate.
MIR. Charles Mullikin appeared
before the Board and asked assist
ance from the Board in construct
ing piece Of public road for
which he and Mr.. u. fl. MAYO
have been collecting funds. He
stated that they had about 81 900
subscribed and had expended over
800. The Board replied to Mr..
Mullikin by referring him To the
road board of his district. as the
Supervisors have no control of
these matters.
DIR. Harris asked instruction
from the Board as to what he
should do i'm cases of contagious
diseases among people who were
unable to pay for medicines and
SerN ice. the question being directly
connected with the recent cases of
diphihcria. The Board instructed
him to submit the matter first to
the Chairman OF the Board of
Health of the County, Mr.. Barnett.
and let him Judge whether the
parties were able tu pay for pri-
waite service or should Toe treated

that druggists. a. a rule, refuse to

of lis extreme cost. The physician
must necessarily pay cash for the
anti-toXinc, and if the patient is
able To pay lac Is reimbursed. On
the other hand, if the patient is
unable To pay, the physician loses
the cost of the antitoNinc unless the
county Is willing To assume the
obligation from feeling of good

Fish Cannot Pass Dam.

\ correspondent asks the Charles
Town Advocate if any provision
has been made for fish to pass the
electric company's big dam at
Millville. and answers the CORES
pOndent as follows:
Acareful inquiry has been made
and it was found that nothing has
been planned by which fish can find
their way to the waters of the river
above the dam. Fishermen as well
as those who enjoy fresh fish on
their bill OF fare will deplore this
fact. An obstruction such a. the
proposed dam will be when finish
ed. will practically destroy the
sport of fishing for more than a
hundred miles along the river

power company that fish ladders
be placed at the dam so that fish
could move up or down at will.
Action, if any Is TO be taken.
should be taken at once. Delay.
and the dam will be completed be-
fore any thing can be done to save
the fishing industry"
The Winchester News-Item cor
respondent at Charles Town writes
to his paper a. follows:
Mr.. :. L. Hoover. general
manager of the Winchester and
Washington City Railroad Com
pany. stated that the reports pub
HShed in Charles Town paper To
the effect that building of the dam
across the Shenandoah River In
connection with the company,
power house at Millville. would
destroy the fishing industry along
that stream, IS wholly incorrcctand
evidently published without first
looking into the facts of the case.
Mr.. Hoover stated that the COM
pany had complied with all the re-
quirements of the laws of West
Virginia, and that the construction
of the company's dam would not
affect the fish in any way whatever.
He said the people could catch a.
many fish after the dam Is COM

AlimOny Claim Confirmed.

The United States Circuit Court
of Appeals at Richmond last Thurs
day gave its approval to an order
for a woman who had been divorc-
ed from her husband and allowed
