The sad news was received this week of the death of Sir William John Minzes, chairman of the Ari- zona Copper Company, Limited, who passed to his long rest at his home in Scotland Sunday last. He had been chairman of the company for many years and had been director of the company almost since its beginning. It was largely through his tenacity of purpose. and his great faith in the Clifton-Morenci district, that the company was brought from an insol- vent condition to one of the greatest and most profitable concerns in the world. Sir William was knighted by the late and lamented Queen Victoria some years ago as recognition for the many acts of charity which he had performed, and for other reasons. He often visited the company's prop erty here, and was quite well known by many citizens. and highly respect ed by all. His death will be sincerely mourned by many in Arizona. as well as in Scotland. Peace to his ashes.

Theodore Shirley was called to Stafford last week on some business before referee in bankruptcy, Editor Castecl, who it seems is something of a humorist. After giving in his testimony in the case, he asked the referee for the expenses of the trip. MT. Casteel replied that there were no funds in his possession at that time but that he had plenty of new goods on hand, and if MT. Shirley desired to ''take it out in trade" he would show him the stock. Mir. Shirley concluded that it would be better to trade it out than to re- turn home without his fee. so he con sented to do business as suggested. The referee then took him down into the dingy basement of an old builds ing and showed him a pile of collins and was told to make his selection from the lot, but the man from Cliff ton concluded that he did not need anything in that line at that particu- lar time

Hayden & Stones last circular letter contains some very sensible suggestions to the prospective buyers of copper shares, as follows: The
 present active copper share market has been characterized by the usual rush of the public to buy the low
 priced coppers, simply because they are ''cheap," although in many cases these are the dearest stocks on the list. The advance in copper has added enormously to the profits of producing mines, as the cost of pro- duction has not been increased, ex- cept to very limited extent. Pres ent conditions give ample justifca- tion, not only for the advances al ready recorded in the cheaper stocks, but for much higher prices. The selling price of copper has abso- lutely no bearing on the value of the stock of a company that is not pro- ducing copper, or has no prospect of producing copper, yet among the local copper stocks that have been active and have made substantial gains will be found several repre- senting properties of which no work has been done for years, on which nothing of value ever was found, and which would not be opened for pro- duction again if copper should sell permanently several cents above its present level. The advances in these hangers-on of the market have been due solely to sympathy with the rest of the list, and to that gen. eral idea that there is more money in buying a stock selling at a few dol lars than in buying the high-priced issues. For d time there may be a good market for these stocks and sales may not be difficult. The de- mand will vanish very quickly, how ever, and those who have bought this class of stocks will be forced to hold them indefinitely or to sell at great sacrifice. The stocks of the produc- ing companies, or of those that promise to become producers shortly, offer decided attractions at the pres ent market level. Their strength s based on legitimate value, and pur- chasers can carry them over night without cause for worry.

Early last week the board of super visors extended the lines of school district No. B so as to include all of school district No. 3. This was done under the advice of the district at torney and the county superin- tendent. This seemed to be the only reasonable settlement of d ques- tion which had been vexing the people for some months past. The action of the supervisors meets with the hearty approval of large ma iority of the people of the town. As an illustration of the feeling engen- der>~i in the matter, it is only neces- sary to state that there are now two schools running up Chase creek both within the lines of district 3S. This is not only waste of money appro- priated for the education of children. out it also increases the friction al ready existing. The people of Clifton cannot afford to fight over school matters, and now that the difficult ties have been removed by merging the two districts into one, there is apparently no longer q reason why they should not join hands and work a one man for the up-building of the public schools.

Thompson Convicted.

The case of the territory vs. George Thompson, charged with the murder of his brother in-law, which occurred on the Blue some weeks ago, was tried at Solomonville last week, and resulted in verdict of murder in the second degree.
 Nearly all of the residents of the Blue river country were present, either as witnesses or interested spectators. The verdict of the jury seems to have been a surprise to most people, as it was the general opinion that Thompson was either guilty of murder in the first degree or he was innocent. The verdict, doubtless was d compromise on the part of the jury. After the verdict has been rendered the judge an- nounced himself as greatly dis pleased with the verdict, and in fact set it aside, on the ground that it was not in accord with the evidence. The prisoner then plead guilty to manslaughter, and was sentenced to fifteen months in the penitentiary, which, with his allowance for good behavior, will make his time of con- tinement less than eleven months.
 Edwards and Laine, who represent ed the defendant, made good fight, and were generally congratulated upon their success by their many friends.

Consulting Engineer Burger, of
 the New England and Clifton Copper company, arrived this week, and is
 putting in a few days at the mine
 It was announced last spring that the company would begin shipping ore from its dumps as soon as ore bins could be built, but nothing has since been heard of the matter. However. the company is now in good fnan- cial circumstances, hence it is likely that something will soon be doing. If the company intends to turn its ore piles into money the present is a good time to begin. while copper is high. The company has vast ton mage of ore on its dumps and in its StOpes which will average better than twenty per cent, and by turn ing this into money the mine will be enabled to develop itself, without parting with any more treasury stock. At least it ought to be able to do so at the present price of cop per.

The richest shipment of copper ore ever made in the Clifton district, of which there is a record, was re- gently made from the Fl Paso mine, owned by the Shannon Copper com= pany. The shipment averaged bet ter than 5 per cent. The Standard has probably shipped more high grade ore than any one mine in the the territory, but it's best record by car lots was 52 per cent. It has made many shipments ranging from 45 to 50 per cent. Nearly all of the best mines of the district had high grade ore near the surface, that is ore that would average from 30 to 50 per cent.

THE DAYS GONE ~.

o the days gone by! o the days gone BY!
The apples in the orchard, and the path
way through the rye;
The chrrup Of the robin, and tho whistle
of the quail
As he piped across the meadows sweet
as any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover, and
the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over-in
the days gone by.
In the days gtne by, when my naked
feet were tripped
BY the honeysuckle tangles where the
water lilies dipped,
And the ripples of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink.
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed
cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of
the tiuant's Maynard cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer, in the
days gone by.
o the days gone by! o the days gone by!
The music Of the laughing lip, the luster
of the eye;
The childish faith in fairies, and Alad-
din's magic ring
The simple, soul-reposing. glad belief In
everything,
For life was like a story, holding neither
sob nor sigh,
In the golden, elden glory of the days
gone by.

JAPAN'S USEFUL PAPERS.

House Walls, Rain coats, Grain Sacks
and Tobacco Pouches.
From the bark Of trees and shrubs
tho Japanese make scores Of papers,
which are far ahead Of ours.
The walls of the Japanese houses
are wooden frames covered with thin
paper. which keeps out the wind but
let's in the light, and when one COM
pares these paper-walled doll houses"
with the gloomy bamboo cabins of the
Inhabitants of the island of Java or the
small-windowed huts of our forefa-
theirs, one realizes that, without glass
and in a rainy climate, these ingenious
people have solved in a remarkable
way the problem of lighting their
dwellings, and. at least in q measure.
Of keeping out the cold.
As cover for his load Of tea, when
a rainstorm overtakes him, the jap
anese farmer spreads over it tough,
pliable cover Of oiled paper, which is
almost as impervious as tarpaulin and
as light as gossamer. He has doubt
less carried this cover for years neat
ly packed away somewhere about his
cart.
The "rikisha" coolies In the large
cities wear rain nantes of this oiled
paper, which cost less than IS cents,
and lasts for year or more with con-
slant use. An oiled tissue paper, which
is as tough as writing paper, can be
had at the stationers for wrapping up
delicate articles.
Grain and meal sacks are almost
always made of bark paper in Japan,
for it is not easily penetrated by
weevils and other insects.
But perhaps the most remarkable Of
all the papers which find a common
use in the Japanese household are the
leather papers of which the tobacco
pouches and pipe cases are made.
They are almost as tough as French
kid, so translucent that one can nearly
see through them. and as pliable and
soft as calfskin- The material Of
which they are made is as thick az
cardboard, but as flexible as kd.-Na,

DANCING DOOMED IN LONDON

NAME Interest in the Ball Room Said
to Be Declining.
The matrons Of Belgravia and May
fair are said to be deeply concerned
ut the decline Of interest In dancing
among young men. 1t Is even rumored
that they are driven to the dire neces-
sity of engaging professional dancers
presentable men from "Blankney's" or
some other universal provider, who
will help at ball and go meeklH
home with the hired plants in the
morning.
The war In South Africa undoubted-
u led to a decline in the graceful art,
for the men were away fighting and
the women stayed at home to think
and weep. 1t is not inconceivable that
with the return Of peace men who
bad been accustomed to an active
stirring life on the 'illimitable veldt'
were dsinclined for the easy dalliance
of the ballroom. That is the sugges-

dismal prophecies of decadence were
