Butte Miners Union has received

Butte Miners Union has received a communication from Thomas w. Law son warning them that the combina- tion of large Butte mining interests forebodes evil consequences to the min CTS of the district; that the next step to be taken by the copper trust will be a reduction of wages and consequently a shut down of the mines and smelters. The reply of the Butte miners to Mir. Lawson would indi- cate that they have not taken him ser ously. In fact they have resented his paternal interference and are unable to see anything but prosperity ahead of them in their relations with their em- ployers. As prophet MT. Lawson has not proved success in the past and perhaps this has something to do with the attitude of the Butte Miners Union.

Uses of electricity as motive pow CT in the Lake Superior copper mines is rapidly increasing. The Mining World says that within short time all of the rock houses at the Calumet & Hecla Mining company's Calumet conglomerate, Kearsarge and Osceola amygdaloid mines will be equipped with motors and electricity will supplant steam as motive power in the opera tion of machinery in these buildings. It will be number of years before the Calumet & Hecla company fully ac- complishes its ambitious scheme for electrifying it's workings. Eventually electrical power will be used for hoist ing at many of the shafts. Pumping by means of electricity is already be- ing done in some of the shafts, and will be expanded as the conditions per init. It is confidently believed that the changes in the motive power will effect a great saving in operating costs.

INCORPORATION

The question of incorporating Globe will again be brought before the board of supervisors at the adjourned.meetine next Monday at which time it is expect ed by those favOring the proposition that considerable number of addition al signatures to the petition vii have been secured.
 The need of incorporating the city, for several reasons, is obvious and we believe that more than two-thirds of the residents of the townsite paying a property tax are in favor of it as a general proposition. However, there are quite number of good citizens who, having in mind a former incor- poration fiasco, hesitate to sign the petition without some assurance being first given who are to constitute the council to be appointed by the su- pervisors, or, perhaps, more correctly speaking, that certain persons and in terests will not be able to dictate or control the councils actions.
 Globe is growing rapidly and gives promise of becoming within the next few years one of the largest cities in Arizona. It is right, therefore, that its prospective size and importance should be taken into account when con- sidering the question of incorporation, and the interests of the future city safe guarded. Franchises and special priv ileges which may become valuabl- should not be granted without provis- ion being made for the protection of the public from extortionate charges and without some valuable considera- tion to the municipality; and all such franchises should be submitted to vote of the people. The council should be independent of corporation inhuen- ces, and composed of intelligent and conservative men, in whom the com munity has confidence.
 If we are going to incorporate Globe let us avoid the mistakes so commonly made and which are the cause of so much contention and litigation in cities and towns all oyer the United States. Be sure you're right, then go ahead"

A short time afterward he was found hanging in his cell with a moose made from his bed blanket around his neck. He was discovered by Constable Planz and cut down. He was in a bad way when found and would have been dead in few moments more. Dr Bostwick was called and administered restora- tives. Later in the day Disbrow was brought before Judge Merwin and bound over to the Superior court un- der $500 bonds on the charge of at- tempting to commit suicide. He was taken to the Litchtield jail, Tuesday afternoon.
