COPPER MARKET !, HAS HEALTHY
 TONE
Prof. James Douglas Gives Reason for the Present Ad- vanced Price of MetaI-ls On Trip of Inspection.

Professor James Douglas arrived in the city yesterday morning on the pri- vate car Nacozari from Morenci, and spent the day in conference with Gen eral Manager Walter Douglas of the Copper Queen company. Accompany ing Professor Douglas are his son. James s. Douglas, general manager of the Phelps-Dodge properties at Naco- zari, Stephen A. Langdon, chief en- gineer of the mechanical department, and Chas. Mills, superintendent of the Phelps-Dodge holdings at Clifton and Morenci.
 Professor Douglas is now on one of his regular trips of inspection to the different properties, and will probably return to the city before go- ing back cast.
 When seen by a Review reporter yesterday and asked for his opinion on the copper situation, the Profes- sor said "Of course, from the stand point of producers, the copper situa- 1 ton was never better, and I believe that the present high price of copper is healthy and legitimate mark for the metal When taken in compari- sen with pig iron, during last year, the production of copper as compared with the production of pig iron was in the proportion of 1 to 76. During the present year the production of pig iron has increased 3S per cent, and the increased production of cop per is only 10 per cent.
 There has been an enormous in crease in the demand for copper, and with the comparatively small in crease in production. consider 1t but natural that the price of the metal should advance. The inevitable rule of supply and demand governs the price, and as long as the demand so far exceeds the production, the pres ent price of copper will be sustained. ! If. on the other hand. the demand should still farther exceed the supply, I believe that there will De still ao. other increase in the price Of the mot 1 al"
 The Professor with his party left the city for Fl Paso last evening.

ACCIDENT AT THE GARDINER
 SHAFT
c. M. Puts, a Pipe Filter Is Seriously Injured In Some Manner Which Is Not Clear at the Present Time.

One of the strangest accidents that has happened al any of the shafts in long while, was that in which c. M. Butts, pipe filter at the Gardiner, was hurt on Sunday afternoon.
 Butts went on shift in the after. roon. and was told by the foreman to go to the 1000 level and repair some pipe which had become defective. He gathered up the necessary tools and some pipe and boarded one os the cages. Whether Puts signa,ed 10 lower to the 100 or not will neve- be clear. but as, matter nf fact the en- gineer lowered him to the 800 and then held the cage. while he waited for the ring which would tell him that the cage was clear. Instead of the signal he expected, the engineer received a signal to lower another 100 feet, and obeved it When the 1000 was reached there was consider able delay before any ring was giv- en, and after that came a signal to hcist to the surface.
 When the surface was reached sey- eral miners had in their arms the limp body of Puts, whom they had
 
 when they approached the shaft. A call was immediately sent to the hos. pital. and when the wounded man ar. rived there it was found that his jaw was broken on both sides, besides several severe scalp wounds and a gash under the left eye.
 The hospital authorities stated last evening that Puts was under the in, fluence of opiates, and that since he had arrived in the hospital he had not been in a condition at any time when 1t was advisable to ask him questions, so that 1t will be a few days before it is learned just how the man was wounded. The doctors state that he will recover.
 The theory which seems most plaus ible is that Puts, when he found that he was not at the level he wanted signaled to be lowered. and that he was leaning over the front of the cage, looking down, when the engin. eer dropped the cage, and Puts face was dashed against the timbers in the flooring of the station
 Putts is twenty-four years of age, and has been employed in the camp for year or two.

MAD WITH GOLD FEVER, MEN
 FIGHT
Thousands of Miners and
 Prospectors Rush on Walk CT ReseNation-BIood Has Been Reported Already.

Thorne, Nevada, Oct. 29.-With the firing of a mighty blast of dynamite from the top of Grant Peak, the high est point in the adjacent mountains, Walker Lake Indian Reservation was opened at noon today.
 At the given signal, hundreds of searchers for gold hurried, helter- skelter, over the boundary lines of plain and mountain, and before the great cloud of smoke which rose into the air from the dynamite explosion had drifted away, a spectacular race of automobiles, race horses and vehi- cles of every description was on. So great was the rush across the desert from the line nearest Flaw thorne, that a number of persons mar rowly escaped being trampled on, and in numerous instances injuries were reported.
 Horses were ridden until they drop ped and men recounted their i'll for tune when their automobiles became
 stalled in the deep sands. Jaded and overcome by thirst, numbers of pros- pectors barely summoned enough
 strength to make their locations. Those who had waited for the : signal from the top of Grant Peak
 before the rushing into the reserya- tion, found that almost all of the
 valuable claims in the vicinity of the rich Dutchman, Cottonwood and nu-
 merous other creeks emptying into
 the southwestern section of Walker
 Lake, had been taken by men who
 had rushed in the night before, com | pIafelv overwhelming the Indian DO ] lice. of whom there were but fourteen
 to guard seventy-five miles of terri tory.
 | Reports have reached here of nu
 merous shooting affrays in the vicin 1 ity of the old Arastra gold mine
 which was the objective point for hundreds of fortune seekers who had arrived only to find that the land had
 already been taken up. They then
 attempted to get small sections with
 the result that blood was shed in
 numerous insances, although no ia ltalities have been reported.
