Belligerent Baker Is Convicted of Jaw
 Breaking
Jury of Six Men Find Burns Guilty As
 Charged
(From Satus6ay's Daily.)

With his face swathed in bandagcs extending around his neck and over the top of his head, and with the frank. ness and courage of one who had nev. CT knowingly committed any wrong, James Grant appeared yesterday in the justices court and related in gra. phic language to the judge and jury, how C. J. Burns, the belligercnt bak- CT, had, the day before, without any provocation, with one fell blow brok. en his jaw.
 The jury after few moments con. sideration, found Burns guilty of as. sault as charged in the complaint, the justice later sentencing him to 90 days confinement in the county jail.
 Burns was represented in court by attorney Leroy Anderson. After look. ing at the judge in n scrutinizing way for few moments, Burns suggested to his attorney his preference for a jury trial, which was granted by the court, and six jurymen were promptly sum. moned and impanclcd.
 The testimony of the complaining witness, which was in part corrobor. atcd by the surgeon who reduced the fracture of the jaw, and an attorney who was an eyewitness of the assault, as we'll as by John Nichols, n late ar. rival from Globe, who, on cross.exam- ination, stated that he did not live any where, showed that Burns walked up to Grant while conversing with n friend in the alley back of the Yelling. ton, and without any provocation what. ever. struck him from behind a vio. lent blow in the lower side of the left cheek, breaking his jaw bone, and knocking him sensclcss to thc ground. At late hour last evening Burns was serving out his sentence in the county jail, and had made no effort nt sccur ing his release by the payment of q fine.

SANTA # MAY DOUBLE TRACK ENTIRE
 LINE

A dispatch from San Francisco says large increases in the business of the Santa Fc railway have resulted in the decision to double track the entire main system to San Francisco. Already there are many miles of double track between the wheat fields and the Chi cago terminal, and the main line east of the Mississippi also is doublc.track. cd. Plans have been approved for the extra track as far west as Albu. querque, but there remains 200 miles between there aud San Francisco. double-tracking for which probably will be authorized by the board of directors in few days. In addition to these i'm. provemcnts it is believed that the Santa Fc is about to obtain another shipping outlet by connecting with Galveston from Albuquerque. It was reported several days ago that the sys. tenn had obtained control of the Gulf and Midland lines, and this corrobor. ates the rumor.

No Fear Now That The Price Will Go
 Down
Production Curtailed By Recent Labor
 Troubles

There have been further purchases of copper this week for October and November delivery at Isia to 1sX cents per pound for lake, and electro. lytic respectively. Producers are now satisfied that these prices will be main tained for several months to come and the situation is devoid of even shade of weakness. Many consumers openly declare that the consumption of copper is still exceeding production, and freely express the belief that they will have to pay approximately present prices during the greater part of next year, says Geo. l.. Walker in the Bos- ton Commercial.
 It Is now practically certain that there will be no further increase in tho production of copper this year. The re. cent labor troubles at the Greene Con solidatcd, in the Lake Superior dis tfict, and, in n lesser degree, in Butte and Bingham, have cut down produc- tion several million pounds during the past two months. Further labor trou- bles are expected. There Is scarcity of labor in all of the leading copper producing ccntcrs
 Business conditions continue remark ably strong. There is SO far little or no indication of n trade reaction. Un-
 
 iii business conditions decline 1t is expected that the price of copper win remain at approximately its present level.
 Coppers have acted decidedly we'll this week. there having been substan- tial advances in several of the better class of stocks. Feeling is sufficiently confident, and prices low enough to make strong financial interests feel warranted in buying the best of tho present and coming dividend psyess for investment. Favorable develop. mcnts have led to n renewal of strong buying demand in Old Dominion, Utah, Greene. Allouez, North Butte, Butte Coalition. Amalgamated and Anaconda. Unless there is m carly decline of considerable proportion in the New York list, substantial advan. ccs may be expected in such stocks ss Utah Consolidated, Copper Range. Nc,th Butte, Butte Coalition, Greene, Granby, old Dominion, Boston Con.
 
 solidatcd, Utah Copper, and Bingham. These stocks are all selling low. and are attractive purchases on every re. action both for speculation and invest mcnt.
 Amalgamnted's strength is surpvis. ing to those who regularly follow the stock market. In view of the fact that the price was forced to below 93 just before the dividend was declared. the traders are astonished to And thst 1t can easily he maintained above tlO0 with no increase in the dividend

f1erk Robinson Rules
 That Two Are Not Necessary
Statehood Proposition At Foot of The
 Ticket
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Clerk of the board of supervisors l,bn H. Robinson was busily engaged ,lmo,, ibc entire office hours of yes ,erlay in sending notices of the pri. mary election call to the several jus ,ec. of thc peace and postmastcrs in ,bc county, as provided in the primary election law passed by the last legisla 'ofe
 This law adds much labor to the du. tc. of the clerk of the board, who, by yir,uc of his office, is also the officer who complies the official ballot used in ,onn,y and territorial elections and ,upcryscs the printing of the ballots and ,hc advertising required by sta. 'utc
 As the question of whether one ofn. cial ballot or two would bc used at ,he coming election on account of the statehood question, has been the sub
 ect of much discussion of late, tho matter was referred to him by Jour, nal miner man with view of securing an official opinion on the subject.
 In the course of the conversation hc said. "I understand, although not from any official source, that New Mexico will use two separate ballots at the coming election, one for territorial and county officers and one for the vote on ,he joint statehood question. Not be- ing familiar with the New Mexico laws, I do not know that this is the case, bui know of no reason why two off cial ballots should be used in this ter. ri,ory."
 While our statute does not specific ally provide for a statehood ballot, it does provide for other issues of sim liar character, and it is my intention a, this time to make one official bal lot according to the provisions of par aeraph 2330, chapter c, title % of the revised statutes of this territory, 1901 the ballot to include the regular nomi nee' of the different political parties for territorial and county offices, with a separate place on the bottom for the statehood vote, and the seven delegates 'o the constitutional convention.
