Last night, at the Vendomt

meeting of the Laughlin supporters
in this campaign. 1t was truly a
climax | was a surprise to all
except the Laughlln leaders The
auditorium was to" small 10y once
again to accommodate the crowds.
The capacity of the building was
taxed to its limits, yet hundreds
were unable to gain admittance.
For these reasons an owe, flow
meeting was necessary.
State Representative. r f.
DeroHen, called the meeting to
order at a few minutes after eight
O'Clock. The candidates on the
Laughlin ticket were invited to
seats upon the stage.
MIR. a j. Cammack was then
introduced Ills address carried
his AUDITORS 10y storm, In clear,
concise language he exposed the
short comings and blunders of the
pre.ent administration and warned
the people that 1t was now the
time to change the course of the
public affairs 10y a change of the
administrators. He threw the
scarchlight upon the High License
Transactions of the Mayor and City
Attorney and called attention to
peculiar business methods.
Just after Mr.. Cammack started
his address Congressman Brous
sard in response to the wishes of
his friends and the Laughlinites,
addressed the overflow crowd at
the corner of Main and Julia
streets. Hundreds of enthusiastic
cheering men heard hlm in his
denunciatiOns of the methods EN-

Bisbee daily review., 1905-02-12

There has been a great deal of talf about aluminium superceding copper as wire making material and the de crease in the demand for copper which would result. This question has arisen from the use of aluminium wire by telephone and electric power com panies and their apparent success as conductors.
 Every invention or new application of material has to serve what may be called an apprenticeship before its practical value can be determined. In other words, it has to be practically tested for a considerable period of time, or until it has been subjected to all the conditions which it is likely to meet. In no field of industry is this so true as in that in which electricity IS an agent.
 Aluminium electric wire has been serving this apprenticeship for some time, and the disadvantages of it's use are beginning to be apparent. In a paper recently read before the Cana dian Electrical Association, Roderick J. Parke, an electrical expert, stated that, compared with copper, the cost of transportation and erection Of aluminium conductors was less, the durability greater and the cost of maintenance less; but these advant- ages were counterbalanced by diff culty in making joints, great sag due to large coefficient of expansion, and insufficient strength of the wires in sizes ordinarily used for teleghaph and telephone lines.
 He also said that the soldering of joints on an aluminium line was so difficult that in most cases unsoldered joints were preferable. In joining small aluminium wires, the two ends are placed in a flattened tube and the tube is given 2.5 twists. Large wires are joined by a dovetail splice or by placing the ends in cast sleeve and compressing the latter.
 The conductivity of electric mes is much impaired by oxidation at the points. The only complete rZnedy for this trouble has been the soldering

Word has just reached here from the Sahuaripa district, Sonora, con corning the mining property of the Cadena de Cobre Mining Co. It will be remembered that the property own ed by the company consists of the Monterey, Candena de Cobre and So- nora, comprising in all seventy-nine pertenencias (195) acres. Supt. John Fitzgerald, in charge, reports so far as development work has progressed, which is tunneIing. he has opened up large showings of copper ore. Sam pIes of the ore give as high as forty- three per cent copper with py-pro- duct of gold and silver. It twill he gratifying to the stockholders to know that the Candena de Cobre people have had the able mining man, Jas. P. Harvey, recently make examination of the property, following the report made by John Fitzgerald Mir liar vey, after a thorough examination, pronounces that the future develop ment work, which is now under way, will result in the opening of great copper mine. He further states that there is more ore on the surface than he has seen in any other proper ty. There is much excitement in the district, owing to the opening up of the property, and many mining men in the section have looked the property over with her great copper and coal mines are now being built, will afford prop CT transportation facilities and will
 bring Sahuaripa district to the front with her great copper andcoal mines Local people are the heavy stockhold CTS in the Candena de Cobre mines.

TO EXTRACT MILLIONS FROM THE SEA

London. Feb. Il. -Nn IT, :l.~ wi doubtless recall claims that were made several years ago of the dis covery of a method of extracting gold from sea water, and the derision with which the idea was laughed out of court. London folk now have an op- portunity to invest their money in such an undertaking, for which it is Averred that an unlimited supply of the precious metal can be obtained from the sea water at a cost of about $50 for every s500 extracted.

 The syndicate has the modest capi- tai of s15,0O0 in s5 shares.
 The inventor of the process by which it is hoped to corner the worlds gold is H. J. Shell.
 Sir William Ramsey has made ex. periments, of which he says in for nal report, that there is no doubt Shell has proved that gold can be profitably be obtained from sea wa,er on a large scale, and the amount of the gold obtained is so large that whether the cost for the treatment is s20 a ton or even the outside figure of $40 ton, which it could not exceed,

ALUMINIUM AS IT STANDS WITH COPPER

of the joints, which protects them
 from the action Of the elements that
 induce oxidation. The joining of
 aluminium wires without soldering,
 therefore. leaves an opening for oxi- dation that might cause considerable trouble
 Several electric companies having headquarters in Boston have been using aluminium wire for a few years, but the officials of none of them who have been interviewed would make any statement which would be con- strued into an admission that alumin- um joints were not affected by oxida- tion. The only decisive statement that was made was by an official of electric lighting company, who said that his company had ordered alum mum wire with which to build a new power transmission line. None of entirely displace copper as a wire making material.
 During 1904 the production of alum mum amounted to 100000 pounds. or an increase of ? 2-3 percent as compared with the previous year. Owing to the difference in conduc- tivity, it requires 1.56 pounds of alum mum to furnish a conducting capacity equal to that of one pound of copper. These figures indicate that aluminium is not displacing copper in the cleo tric field to any appreciable extent.

it would not make very much differ
 ence."
 F. D. Littleield, an assistant oi Sir William, goes further than his chief, and in a report to the share holders is quoted as saying:
 As far as I can see, it only remains for you to say how much gold you want a day and it can be produced. wonld not advise you to put down enormous works in one place, because think it might get out of hand and think it may be best for you to split the works up into units. The cost will not exceed 10 per cent on gold extracted, including interest on capi- tai, management, etc.
 "On the basis of practical tests we made, supposing you are dealing with eight acres every twenty-four hours, or, say, 300 days a year you would produce $72.00O gold.
 "Supposing you deal with AGO acres. 1t would result in more than $35, ,000,- 900 per annum. These are enormous figures and l noticed that one or two of you smiled when I mentioned that ! ou could have as much gold as you wanted. IL is quite practical. You cannot help having with 400 acres sS5 100000 worth of gold per annum. 1t is onl va question of putting down so many sets of works to increase your output up to what you want
 Two engineers connected with the syndicate have been travelling around the coasts of England and Ireland, se- lecting suitable sites for an extension of the works and have located three in the south of Ireland.
