The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1906-06-21
fRe Use Of COPPER,

The federal bureau of commerce
and labor in a recent publication
gives some facts about copper that
will explain why copper stocks have
been strong of late, and why numer-
Gus copper producing companies
have been enabled to increase their
dividends.
The price of the metal has recently
attained the highest level since the
Secretan cornef III 1883; and this
time the increase is wholly due to
the extra ordinary demand for copper
particularly for use in electrical
work. Efforts to find a substitute
for copper in electrical work have
met with little success. Aluminium
is the only medium thus far discov-
cred, but its price and limited output
threaten no competition with copper.
AS many railroads are arranging for
the electrifcation of suburban di-
visions, this will add another element
of consumption, so there is little
likelihood of an early decrease in the
price.
The worlds product is now said to
be 100000 tons. The production in
1905 was 100000 tons greater than
the average for the last five years
while the latest quotation of about
$418.51 per ton compares with an av-
erage of $3O172 for the last five
years. Despite these almost SEN
sational figures there are no excess
i've stocks in any place. While there
has been an average yearly increase
in production of 748 per cent. for the
last five years practically all of the
important gains have been supplied
by this continent and more than half
of the total increase occurred in the
United States.
The output of the United States
last year was $4,000 tons. Spain
and Portugal produced $4,000 tons,
and Mexico $4,000 tons, but there
was an actual decrease in Spain and
Portugal compared with 1904, while
the Mexican production has more
than doubled since 1900. 1t is stated
by experts, that taking the average
increase during the last five years,
$4,000 tons of copper will be neces-
sary to meet the demand for the
metal by 1910, and unless some sub
stitute is found the requirement will
reach 100000 tons in 1920. The ex-
ports of copper from the United
States are expected to increase
enormously during the next few
years.
The exports of copper in March
aggregated 3S,462,661 pounds, with
an average of 17.6 cents a pound as
compared with 41,597,725 pounds,
valued at 15.5 cents in the CORE
spending month of last year. The
greatest falling off in the March
exports Nwere in those to China,
where only $4,000 pounds were sent
as compared with 6,973,871 pounds
in March, 1905.
Judging from these figures and esti-
mates the price OF copper is in no
danger of a marked falling off with
out a very decided curtailment of
business.

CHANcELLoR DAY insists on staying.
in the lime light a little while longer.

TT is hinteo that Senator La Toilette
is about ready to tie a can to his man
Lenroot and get into the Davidson
bandwagon. It is said that the de-
lection Of Geo. Bryant and other
dyed IN the wool La Toilette follow
ers has shaken the senator's conf
dence IN his ability to pull Lenroot
through, and that he does not fancy
losing prestige by heading a losing
fight. People who have watched La
Folette's career will wait to hear from
him, however, before taking much
stock in these rumors. Whatever may
be said of him 20 one can call him a
gutter. A fight is meat and drink to
him, and he is more likely to come
home and run the Lenroot campaign,
Notwithstanding his we'll known alb
horrence Of the interference of fed
eral office holders in state politics, =
than he is to drop his man. In case
he should, though, those members of
the legislature who signed the Len
root "ca11" will be left in an interest
ing predicament.

CITIZENSHIP FEES LARGER
After the First of October il viii Cost
the Foreigners Seven Dollars to Sc
cure the Rights of Citizen-In-
crease is a Large One

A great deal of dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed among the foreign people of
Kenosha on account of 1.-THE new law
which is to go into effect about the
first of October. The law is in re-
gard to the issue of citizenship pa
pers to foreigners, and 1T makes a
large increase in the fee to be paid
into the courts for these pa pers.s In
the past the foreigners1of sthe nation
have been natura1ized for the small
fee of 81, but after the new Flaw goes
into effect the cost of this service will
be raised to So.
In speaking of the effect of the law
this morning, Clerk of the Circuit
Court Frank Waldo stated that while
he had not as yet received his in
strnctions under the new law, he was
aware of it's provisions, and that it
was his opinion that the operation Of
the law would have the effect Of put
ting an end to naturalization Of for
eigners in Kenosha. Many Of the for
eign citizens are now seeking to- Sc
cure their second papers in order to
come in under the low fee, but as it is
necessary for the papers to be issued
by the judge of the circuit court,
there will be only one more chance
for Kenosha foreigners, and that will
be at the coming September term Of
the court. There has been rush for
papers in the last two weeks, and
when Judge Be1den could not be
found the applicants were sent to
Milwaukee to secure the issue of pa
pers by judges in that county. Dur
ing the past twelve months the num-
Der of citizens natura1ized in this
county was about thirty and the year
was considered an average year. It is
thought that with the increase in the
cost of citizenship papers few Of the
foreigners in Kenosha will be willing
to pay the fees, as some Of them have
protested against the payment of the
smaller fee.
Officials of this county seem 90 con-
slider the new law an abomination, as
it does not in any way do away with
the voting of foreigners. The
foreigner is allowed to vote just as
soon as he has secured his first papers
and the fee for the issuance of this
paper is but Is cents. The cost is
usually paid by the political parties
interested in securing the foreign
vote.
It is safe to say that no political
party managers in Kenosha will be
willing 70 put up the 81 that will be
required for the issue of second
papers and if any foreigners desire
citizenship they will have to pay the
fee themselves.

FAVOR BRYAN
kenosha Democrats Will Urge the
Endorsement of the Nebraskan
at the State Convention

The endorsement of William Jen-
nings Bryan as the Democratic candi-
date for president by the Wisconsin
State convention is now attracting
considerable attention among the
Democrats of Kenosha and there can
be no doubt but that the leaders in
Kenosha are in favor of Bryan. In
every campaign the Kenosha men
have been loyal to the Nebraskan,
with the exception of few of the
real conservative Democrats, who
have been connected with various
campaigns of an independent nature.
Calvin Stewart, who is the acting
chairman of the county committee is
in favor of the nomination of Hearst,
but it is not thought that the opinion
of Stewart will find many supporters.
Stewart was one Of the original
Hearst men in Kenosha.
Col. George W. Caruth, who is the
only Democrat ia Aenosla who has
held an Office under the national gov
eminent is not as yet ready to talk,
but he states that he is in no way OPP
posed to Bryan. He was seen on Tues
day evening and when asked for an
expression in regard to the Bryan
spirit now being shown, he insisted
that it was little early to talk.
However, Col. Caruth paid a high
tribute to the personal character of
Mr.. Bryan and stated that he was one
of the perfectly clean men in politics.
From the conversation of Col.
Caruth there is little doubt but that
he will be in line for the Nebraskan
by the time the state convention meets
two weeks later. Col. Caruth, how
ever, was firm in his statement that
he could mot stomach a combination
of Bryan and Hearst, and other Demo
Gratis in the city whoshave been taking
leading part in the councils Of the
party are equally opposed to having
Hearst connected with any regular
Democratic ticket.
It is probable that the resolutions at
the coming Kenosha county conven-
ton will bring out the real fig ht of
the convention.

EASY FOR BENNETT
George shrosbree Of Chicago,
Knocked Out After Two Minutes
Of Fighting by Jack Bennett
HERTZ GETS A KNOCKOUT


Jack Bennett added another scalp
to his list of trophies Monday night,
when he knocked out George Shros-
bree of Chicago, in the first round of
what was to have been a six round
battle to a decision. The superiority
of Bennett was clearly demonstrated,
for Shrosbree was put to sleep so
effectua11y that he did not recover
from the blow for several minutes and
he was dazed an hour after the fight.
The Bennett-Shrosbree fight was of
the whirlwind order and the Kenosha
man followed his old tactics and
rushed the battle and as is usual with
Bennett, landed his man in the first
round. Bennett was some fifteen
pounds heavier than Shrosbree, but
this did not prevent the Chicago man
taking a try at him. Shrosbree was
in fine condition and he showed up
fairly we'll for the first minute of the
battle, but after this he was at the
mercy of Bennett. Bennett landed a
terrific right on Shrosbree's jaw and
sent him down for the count, but the
Chicago man got up and attempted to
stave off the inevitable, but he was
already out and push from Bennett
put aim into the clear.
The managers of Fred Cooley and
Young Mahoney we're both at the
ring side to challenge Bennett and
Bennett accepted the Mahoney cha1-
lenge. It is expected that the fight
will be pulled off in the next month.
Bennett certainly has shown that he
has a great punch and Mahoney will
have to go some to defeat him.
The pre1inainaries to the big fight
we're decidedly tame. Young Moore
and Kid Sorrensen, both of Kenosha,
struggled about the ring for four
rounds to secure draw, and Young
Burg and Volley johnson went the
pace for six rounds, the referee de-
c1aring the bout draw. Johnson.
was the favorite of the crowd and the
decision was decidedly unpopular.
Kid Hertz got his customary knock
out, the victim being Jimmie Connors,
the fighting soldier of Ft. Sheridan.
Connors went out at the end of the
second round. He claimed that he
was under weight. Mike Stanton
was to have put the finishing touch
on Max Mentze1 of Waukegan, but
Mentze1 failed to appear at the ring
side and Stanton claimed, and got the
the purse by default. After the big
fight Irish Landers and Frank
Connolly went on and exchanged love
taps for four rounds when the match
was declared a draw.
A fair crowd witnessed the show
and the club broke even,

Where He Belonged.

The Rev. w. II. Morrison of Brock
ton, Mass, formerly of Manchester,
n. H., where he enjoyed a long and
successful passionate, is q bit OF a
humorist and enjoys joke whether
ON himself or another. His manner
and sympathetic characteristics make
him in much request at funerals, and
it is related that on one occasion it
so happened that the hacks allotted to
the mourners were all flied, so the
minister rode to the cemetery ON a
hearse with the driver.
On returning from the grave he was
driven to his home on the same un-
conventional conveyance. His wife
met him at the door, and, somewhat
indignant at the apparently unusual
proceedings, and not noticing that 1t
was hearse the clergyman was riding
on, exclaimed: "William, what did
you ride up there for? Why didn't
you get inside, where you belong?"

THE police have been very lenient
with conductors who blocked cross
ings lately in hopes that the com

would do away with this nuisance.
But the railroad men do not appear to
appreciate their forbearance, and the
recent particularly aggravating case
of the blockade of four crossings for
twenty-five minutes by one train is
going to make it hard for any con-
ductor who offends in the future.
