WILCOX CoLLAPsEs AS REsULr T
 OF VERDICT.
(From Fridays Daily.)

In the district court yesterday morn ing, Judge Sloan pronounced sentence on T. J. Wilcox, found guilty of i'm. personating a post office inspector. He was given one year in the county jail the date of sentence beginning from last February. Wilcox has been in the county jail in Prescott since last April, and by this lenient considera- tion from Judge Sloan in allowing him time service while awaiting trial, Wilcox has but sixty days more to serve for the crime committed.
 Up to the time of his conviction ny the jury Wilcox was always of the most jovial disposition and agreeable fellowship to his fellow prisoners. But after the trial was begun and after the verdict of the jury was announced, his demeanor changed, and he became sU shattered physically that it was feared for a time that the reaction might prove serious to him.
 He was the most dejeeted specimen of humanity ever confined in the county jail and up to last night had not fully recovered from the sting Of the verdict, although he showed signs of regaining his former self will anI genial personality. But the crime will never be effaeed from him is the belief of those who know him well, and even when he is liberated, the blow he sustains will be carried by him for a long time.
 He expected to be proved innocent of the crime, and it is probably due to this belief that when the verdict of guilt was rendered, his physical con dition was of tension as not to sup port a reverse of that hope.
 Judge Sloan is to be commended in his conception of this case, and it is hoped that Wilcox will experience nc i'll effects from his long incarceration

RETURN OF MIR. JoSLN.
Has a Successful Trip to Chicago OH
 Mining Matters.
From Saturdays Daily.)

c. T. Joslin, superintendent of the Model Mining company, operating the well known McCabe mine, in the Chaparral country, arrived ip Prescott yesterday on the southbound freight from Ash Fork. He was called to the east nearly two months ago, on min ing matters affecting the future of the McCabe, and in connection with his long visit he says that it terminated satisfactorily, and he returns well pleas ed with the future prospects of th-s magnificent piece of ground, and that he was successful in his mission.
 Asked as to whether the property would resume active operations at once, MT. Joslin was non-committal, but the supposition is that it will in a short time again assume its former life as a steady and profitable producer.
 It is to be regretted that in the past or at a time in the earlier opera tion of this property or previous to the time that MT. Joslin assumed the management of the eompany's af; fairs at McCabe, this enterprise was permitted to become handicapped through evils that are always necessar- ilv fatal, and that the practical consid- oration due it from men of a practical treining were not extended it.
 Those in a position to speak advised r. of the McCabe mine are very pro rounced in stating that it is an attrac five proposition, and that when it i: operated along the lines of practica and conscientious effort, it will exec itself in the past records of production made.

SOME PROVISIONS IN THE STATE
 HOOD BILL.
Cfrom Fridays Daily.)


 There have been many inquiries re- garding the course of action which will follow the passage of the joint statehood bill on the part of the terri tories. It is hoped that the bill will fail, as it has in the past, but in the event of such calamity, there will be onl y one hope for Arizona and those New Mexieans who are opposed to join ture, and that is to vote down the con- stitution which will be prepared at the constitutional convention, provi,l- ed for in the measure, to be held at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Before this an election will be held in the two terri tories.
 This election is for the purpose or electing 110 delegates, sixty-six from New Mexico and forty-four from Ari, zona.
 The 110 delegates thus elected will meet in Santa Fe within three or four weeks after they have been elected. The bill also provides for minority repre- sentation of both territories on the election boards.
 The convention is to meet in Santa Fe and stay there not to exceed four or five months. It is to frame a con stitution that must be republican in form. The main constitution must then be submitted to vote of the peo- pie at a called election. But other se- parate provisions can be submitted, and if receiving a majority of the votes can be made part of the constitution.
 The capital is to remain at Santa Fc until 1910, when it will be changed or not, according to the wishes of the people as expressed by their votes.
 The bill gives something like 24,OO0, 900 acres of land, including what the territories have already received, tp the new state for the support of public institutions and public schools, and in to this it gives $5,00O,000 in cash out of the national treasury as an inviolable common school fund. It also appropriates $15O,O0O to pay tho costs of the two elections involved Tn the transaction.
 It gives to the state two United States senators and two members of the house of representatives. One re- presentative is elected from the dis trict composed of the present New Mexico and one from the district com posed of the present Arizona.

Cash Deliveries Made As High As
 19 1-2
Increased Consumption Due To Electric
 Enterprises

1He prdcIlcdl Iamlne Tn cash copper continues. Usually reliable sources report sales of copper for immediate delivery at as high as 1912 cents per pound. If this is accurate it is the highest quotation reached since 1882, period of 2S years. The writer has positive information of sales for de- livery this month at 1888 cents. Leading selling interests state that it would be impossible to obtain as much as half a million pounds of copper for de- livery in December. They also declare that the price of cash copper is what ever anyone who has it for sale cares to ask, says George l.. Walker in tine Boston Commercial.
 For February and March delivery, lake is selling for IS cents and electro lytic for 17A cents per pound, and even at this price the demand seems greater than the supply. It is stated in the trade that most large consum- CTS bought their copper ahead to the end of the year, when it was selling at 15 to 16 cents per pound. Since their purchases were made, however, new business has come to them in such un- expected volume that they have been forced to re-enter the market and bid up the price of the metal against one another. No better evidence of the tremendous growth of copper eonsump- tion can be found than is expressed in the large increases in the working capital of the large electric companies It may be said that every manufactur- CT who turns raw copper into electrical or other equipment has come to tho point of increasing the capacity of his plant. The best authorities in tke trade declare that there is no evidence that consumption is being curtailed in the least by the current high prices. They express the confidence that there will be no material decli-e in the price of copper until somethirg like failing, crops or alarming political develop ments start a general retrenchment in all lines of business.
 Exports of copper showed a consid- erable falling off in November. This brought the total shipments of the first II months of the year down slightly below the record made in the corresponding period of a year ago. The explanation is that consumption is increasing more rapidly in this coun- try than in Europe, and some lots sold early in the year for shipment last month were repurchased at prices which showed the foreigners big pro fits
 The statement published recently that there will be an increase of 25 per cent in the Butte production of cop per this year was in error. It will amount to about 10 per cent more than in 1904, when it slightly exceeded 3OO, ,OOO,O ,OO0 pounds. A careful review of conditions at the various camps leads to the conclusion that the total increase in the output of the mines of the United States, Canada and Mexico this year will amount to approximate ly 12O, 100000 pounds. This enlarged output has gone into consumption on rising market. At the present time it seems impossible that the production increase of this year can be duplicated in 1906

A Runaway.

Michael Burns, an expressman, call
ed at a house on Robinson street to
transact business, shortly before 4
o'clock, yesterday afternoon. He left
his horse and wagon standing by the
curb. and it Is supposed that the horse
became frightened at some object. At
any rate, the beast hiked down the
street, which is on the incline. and
VIXEN the outfit reached the junction OF
Water street there were things doing.
The horse reclined gracefully upon the
sidewalk without troubling himself to
look after his charge-the wagon. This
vehicle piled up in the street.
Wien the tumble was untangled. the
horse was found to be suffering from
cuts and gashes about the body, and
it's wounds bled rather freely. although
a later examination showed that the
beast was not seriously injured. The
only damage sustained by the wagon
was a broken shaft. The incident occa-
stoned considerable excitement.
