In a Sensational Speech Moody Attacks
Great Trusts.

In political speeches at Beverly
and Salem Attorney General Moody
said he was Investigating great and
powerful coal and oil combinations
and that if he found evidence of
illegitimate combinations he would
proceed to drastic measures without
regard to personal or political con-
sequences.
"We are in the midst of the great
est industrial activities and prosper
ity,'' he continued, land great
evils are arising ous of these condi-
tions. President Roosevelt is deter
mined to find a remedy for certain
evils, if a. remedy can be found.
Great industries are no longer con-
Quoted by individuals, but by organ
lied wealth. The organization of
labor and capital is here to stay but
we have a right to ask both that
they shall obey the laws of the land
When a combination of wealth
obtains great power, as it will, it
destroys individual initiative, dis

and sometimes even the government
itself. 1 have seen written on a
sheet of paper the price of killing off
competition.
Moody said he was not sure but
Bryan was right in saying that trusts
are the paramount issue. "The
tariff, however, is not the mother OF
trusts, but railroad rebates are"

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

The metal market is quieter, with
prices at the highest point so far
touched. Lake and electrolytic may
be quoted % cents to % cents per
pound. Sales of odd lots have been
made at the higher price, and round
lots are known to have been sold at
224 cents. Metal brokers declare
that they have found it impossible to
meet the requirements of their Gus
toners. So far as spot copper is
concerned, there is practically a
famine.
The lull in the market has resulted
from the recent sharp advance in
Standard" or sc. NJ. B." in London
to around s103 per ton and the sub
sequent sharp decline of about s4
per ton. This has frightened con-
suming. interests somewhat, and has
caused them to withhold from max
ing further purchases for distant ad-
vance deliveries.
A careful review of the world s
operations leads me to believe that
the 1906 production will not show an
increase of more than 5 per cent. to
per cent. over that of last year.
1t is probable that the consumption
demand is increasing at the rate of
Is per cent. to 25 per cent. annually.
At the present time production is
curtailed in every district in the
United States by scarcity of labor,
lack of cars and inability to get fuel,
timber, machinery and other supplies
delivered promptly. These hinder
ances to expansion will probably cut
into production considerably during
the remainder of the present year.

Biliousness and Constipation.

Clifton High School Journal.
CLIFTON, ARIZONA.

lMURIEL EMERSON.
There have been some valuable
gifts presented to the High School.
Some of these are, Encyclopedia
Britannica a globe and a map pre-
sented by Mr.. w. A. Leonard, and
The History of Our Country by Mr..
Henry Hill. These gifts are very
useful to the students as reference
books.
The high school students were
given day for studying geology by
observation and went on an excur-
sion on thursday last up Limestone
canyon. They brought back many
specimens. The students think this
a much more pleasant way of study
ing science than from books.
The attendance in all the schools
l seems to have been very good for the
oast month. The high school and
Miss Anderson's room in North Cliff
ton being a tie, 80 per cent.
The following are the names of the
high school students who have neither
been absent nor tardy during the
month.
Freshmen-Jennie Magruder, Geo.
johnson, Walter Millert, Christina
Cromb, Grace Hartwell, Emelian
Apodaca, Thomas Quinn, Maude Ter
rell, Nettie Yonng, Muriel Emerson,
Rytha Backstein.
Juniors-Mary Terrell, Frank
I'd Ct1llar
Emerson, Mollie Lilies.
On last Friday two teams chosen
from the two classes of the high
school debated the following ques-
tion.
RESOLVED: "That Graham County
Should be Divided, That The County
Seat of the Upper Part Should Be
Clifton, and of the Lower Part Solo
monville'
The teams were as follows:
AEFIRMATIvE:-Ett Martin, Mary
Terrell, Clyde Prettyman, Christina
Cromb.
NEGATIvE:-Jennie Magruder, Et-
tie Young, Tom Quinn, Walter Mil
lert.
The judges decided in favor of the
affirmative, but they said that the
only reason that they decided in
their favor was because they had
more points, but the negative side
presented their points in a better
manner.
The next week of the society will
be mock trial at which the students
anticipate jolly time.
The seventh and eighth grades of
lied a club under the name of
Swatiska with Charles Quinn as
president, and Lena Miller secretary.
Last Friday some of the members of
this club gave a debate under the
following title:
RESOLVED: 'That Clifton Should
be Incorporated"
AFFIRMATIvE:-Hu Terrence,
Willie Evans, Maggie Kelly.
NEGATIvE:-Walter Tappin, May
Kilsby, Willie Damron.
The Judges decided in favor of the
affirmative but it is said that the
negative gave the best argument.
On account OF the election being
held in the North Clifton school
house there was no school, SO the
Swatiska club gave picnic up the
Frisco. They returned home tired,
but congratulating themselves upon
their good time.
During the past week all the pupils
have been copying class work tor the
fair and many good specimens were
produced.

A Year of Blood.

The year 1908 will long be remem-
bered in the home of F. N. Tacket,
of Alliance, KY, as year of blood,
which flowed so copiously from Mr..

very near. He writes: "Severe
bleeding from the lungs and fright

To Double Capacity.

The important note of the week
was the receipt by Manager Cole of d
request from the directors of Greene
Consolidated for plans and estimates
of cost of doubling the present
capacity of the concentrator. Mr..
Cole said last week that he would be
prepared in a few days to forward
the desired information to New York.
In large part the plans of the pres
ent concentration, generally conceded
to be the best arranged and equipped
in the southwest, will be used in the
making of estimates. In fact, Mr..
Cole stated the only feature involv-
ing new study of important extent is
with regard to making the contem-
plated additional unit fit the ground
available. The location will be
across the gulch from the present
plant. If the new plant is erected,
as the request for plans indicates
the Greene concentrator will be able
to handle between 1000 and $500 tons
of ore daily, exceeding in capacity
that of any other concentration in
the west outside of the Amalga-
mated plants. With the caving sys-
tenn in operation no difficulty will be
encountered in securing the larger
amount of concentrating ore neces-
sary at comparatively small increase
in total cost over past mining
charges. The high desirability of
the increase in the concentra tor
capacity doubtless suggested to the
board of directors by President
Greene through his knowledge of the
Cananea situation, is therefore
readily apparent.
At the smelter operations continue
with entire smoothness. Daily bull
lion production is running well
Seven furnaces are now operating
steadily. All improvement work is
progressing as rapidly and satisfac-
torily as possible. No. 8 furnace is
being entirely overhauled, the jack
cts renovated and a new stack and
down take provided. The extension
to converter room is nearly COM
pleted.-Cananea Herald.
The worlds record for the amount
of ore taken from a mine in a speci-
fed time was broken in Bisbee when
l,l87 cars were hoisted from the
Spray shaft in seven hours. The
enormity of this performance can,
of course, best be appreciated by
men familiar with mining conditions,
but the fact that it has meyer been
equaled is evidence enough that it
was remarkable. During one thirty
minutes 103 cars were hOisted and
during the following fifteen minutes
fifty-three more were brought to the
surface, making a total of 156 cars in
forty-five minutes. The average for
the seven hours was 169 Al cars per
hour.-Bisbee Miner.
Old Dominion is the best lllustra.
ton we have in this country of what
is meant by good mine management.
Up to some three years ago the prop
erty was classed among the unknown
quantities; it was under the control
of men who used it for stock-jobbing:
set up the price of it one day to
knock it down the next. Then
Phelps, Dodge 81 Co. appeared or
the scence. Professor Douglas
president of their Copper Queer
company, visited the property, looked
it over, then took it over. Today il
is copper mine, one of the best in
Arizona, and its stock is worth $50 a

DISCUSS VIEW BUILDING,
MoreiGirls Coming to Hardin Thar

Room is Necessary.

The Hardin College board met Tues.
DAY morning at the Southern Bank
and besides the regular routine bust.
ness the subject of a new building was
introduced and obtained a lengthy dis
cussion.
More contracts have been signed
IMAM there are Accommodations for and
arrangements are now under way to
place the surplus students in some of
the neighboring residences. II the
school had more space little trouble
would be experienced in filling it, thus
The problem is a momentous me-.
There are many young women at.
tending Hardin who desire suits of
rooms including individual baths. II
The movement for a new structure
materealizes such opportunities will
be one OF its features. President
Million In his address at the Alumni
Banquet this spring touched upon
this subject and spoke Of 1t as one
tnat required immediate attention II
the school intended continuing upon
Its march with the times.
One Of the board has suggested that
The citizens should come forward and
assist In the erection Of such a build.
Ing. While the citizens of Mexico are
fully In sympathy with the school and
accord 1t their heartlest support the
time Is not propitious, we fear, fol-
such a suggestion. The electric line
holds the spot light Of public atten-
tion but when it has been disposed OF,
then the good Of Hardin should receive
our attention.
