FAMINE IN SPOT COPPER NOW
 PREVAILS.

So far S spot copper is concerned, there is n famine. Lake and electro. iytic is selling nt 22 to g cents per pound. Sales of odd lots have been made at 23 cents, and round lots are known to have been sold at 22is.
 Metal brokers declare that they have found it impossible to meet the re-. auircmcnts of their customers, and as n result, believe tho price may go even higher. Twenty five cent copper is now no, only n possibility, but a prob ability.
 The lull in the market has resulted from the recent sharp advance in standard" in London to around flo3 per ton. and the subsequent sharp de- cline of about ft per ton. This has frightened consumers somewhat and has caused them to withhold from mak. ing further purchases for future de- livery.
 A careful review of the worlds op' erations in the metal leads one to be lcve that the 1906 production will no, show an increase of over 6 or pcI cent above that of last year. It is |, probable that the consumption is in creasing at the rate of l5 to 2j pei , cent annually.
 At the present time production i' curtailed in every district in the United states by a scarcity of labor, lack oi cars and inability to get fuel, timber machinery and other supplies delivered promptly. These hindranccs to expan son will probably cut into production considerably during the remainder oi the present year.
 A weakening, dragging tendency 1T the New York lis, has done much ts discourage speculation in copper share' and prices in most cases are lower thar they were two weeks ago. Some lead ing Republicans are known to believe that Hearst will be elected Governor of New York. If this should happcr it would undoubtedly cause a scntimen tai decline in prices Of stocks gener ally. This and the condition of th, money markc, seems to be the only ob staclcs to an immediate and far reach ing advance in copper share prices. Al the moment |, seems quite probabl tha, prices may go somewhat lower be tween now aud election.

HOSTING PLANT TO BE IN

With 250 feet of drifting and cross cutting done from the s5.foot level of the shaft in the Chronicle mine. the directorate of the Chronicle Mining company is so we'll pleased with the showing that a hoisting plant is to be installed at once and the sinking of the shaft ,o the 500 foot level resumed.
 All of the laterals run from the shaft are in ore of average values from si7 to s20 to the ton. some of IL assaying as high as 35 per cen, m copper and $lo in gold.
 The property is located m the lower Lynx Creek section, abou, four miles ease of this city, within n short dis. tance of the Four.M house. on the Prescott and Black Canyon stage road. The holdings of the company embrace six claims, covering a vein running in n northerly and southerly direction. the copper stained eroppings of which can be traced for the length of four locations. The ledge Is cut by a series of shallow gulehe-. which were very rich in placer gold in the early days of mining here, and which find an outle, in Lynx Creek, also long noted for its rich and extensive deposits of placer gold.
 One peculiar feature connected with the history of the place is the fac, that the ground has been crossed by innumerable miners and prospcetor. since the discovery of Lynx Creek, in the early sos, none of whom rceog ui1ed its worth, it remaining foI Joseph Englc 10 establish the fac, that copper in paying qualities exist ed on the vein. by sinking q shaft tc depth of 20 feet on one of the claim, now owned by the Chronicl. company

MADE ATTEMPT TO BRAIN W. w
 ROSS.
(from Saturdays Daily.)

Rags a quaint character Of un' kcmpt appearance, whose flowing locks fall in tangled disarray over his shoulders. and with a broad.brimmed hat of ancient lineage covering his cranium, was arrested yesterday after. noon by Under sheriff w. N. Neagle, and lodged in the county jail, after he had attempted to brain W. W. Ross, proprietor of drug store on Cortez street, with an empty champagne bot tie, because the latter would not pay him the second time for consignment of bottles which he had previously sold the druggist, and for which he had re. ceivcd payment.
 "Rags," whose proper name is shrouded in mystery, applied for a private room in the jail, after his in- earcesation, but owing to its crowded condition, could not have his luxuor. ious whim gratided. It was not stated whether or not he applied for n room with n bath.
 For the past year Rags" has been making his home near the Chinese ranch, north of the city, eking out n miserable existence by picking up rags, bottles and bits of scrap iron, for which he found market in the local business houses.
 Sullen and morose of manner, but picturesque in all, "Rags" has been a familiar figure on the city's streets for some time past, where he was al ways viewed with wonder by stranger, in the city, unacquainted with his his tory or occupation. He is thouht tt be of unsound mind.
 With the exception of the attempt to assault MT. Ross, yesterday, he ha' always been of quiet disposition, ana has never appeared dangerous at any time previous. It is thought he vii be discharged from custody unless hi' insanity should take n violent turn.

IMPORTANT STRIKE IN PRESCOTT
 MINE.
lFrom Satufday's Daily.)

What is believed to be an important colt mine. on the summit of Thumb Butte and Copper Rssin divide, "A few days ago. by z. II. Anderson, in hi. new shaft, ai depth of seventeen feet, where he uncovered n paystreak of ore over four feet in width, six inches of which samples over 100 ounces 10 the ton in silver, the re. mainder being second class ore of med. ium grade. Work Is being pushed on the shaft, and the ore body shows every indication of continuity for tue few feet opened.
 The claim Is developed by another shaft, which has been sunk on the ledge to depth of eighty feet, in which there is also an exeellcu, showing of ore, carrying good silver values. and from which several tons of shipping ore has been mined.
 There are four claims m the group which is located about six and one. half miles west of this city, n good wagon road leading from here to the camp The Last Chance mine, near the \. F P. & F. railroad, lies two mile. to th, north, while about the same distance south, along the summit of the range the Derby and Eldorado mines, bosi with well developed ore bodies, ar, located.

MURDERED AND HAS HEART CUT
 OUT.
(from Thursdaye Daily.)

Passengers arriving here last oven raS from Globe state tha. as yet no sise has been obtained as Co the mur sersr or murdcrc~ of unfortunate tsseph Ludwig. n young miner, who pae time carly sunday morning vas dsne to death by as yet unknown as ~ssins. who, with a lust for blood, or ,s revenge. cut I.udwig's throat from ~ar to ear. and then, while life still ling. ered in tho mangled body. cut his heart sat as s trophy of their ghastly work.
 Ludwig's body was found in \ lonely canyon. about a mile from Globe, slowu almost in twain by n charge of giant powder, which the murdcrcrs had evidently set off in vain effort to dc Nroy the identity of their victim, but t has been positively established that Ladwig was not murdered in the can. yon, but in town, his body afterwards being carried to that spot by the as. ssssins, who left behind as evidence of their diabolical handiwork the manglcd remains and the knife hacked heart ly. ing near by.
 It has been established by tho invcs ugstion of tho coroncr's jury that Lud. viz was last seen alive on Friday after. noon. at which time colorcd woman declares she saw him pass her home, presumably coming from his lodging house, the International, whcrc hc oc. sepied Room IS.
 Nm. J. J. McInerny, who runs the place. testified that Friday afternoon. upon going to Room Is, sho found Lud. wigs bed saturated with blood and tho floor freshly stained with tho same fluid. The police werc not notified of this, nor have they been able to ac. count for Ludwig's time from Friday afternoon until Sunday, when his dead body was found
 A theory of suicide was advanced, some thinking that the miner had cut ais own throat, and failing to kill him. sslf, had repaired to the canyon to blow himself up with dynamite. The finding of his heart cut out, and the fact that a towel was wound around his gashed throat SO tightly aS to have choked him to death, disprovcs the suicide theory.
 He was known to have had at least ss6, which has not yet been accounted tor P!ie! 'q mceting his death is such . horrible manner. he had been employ. cd in the Little Johnny mine, at Globe.
 He was not ''lsdy's man." but 1t n hinted that possibly a woman, with whom he has been seen driving a mum. Der of times, may be at the bottom of the murder, and the cutting out of the victims heart lends an air of tragic romance to the affair. which. in the tong run, may he the cause of the mys. 'crious murder being cleared up.

TO BE ARRAIoNED SOON
(rrom Mondays Daiiy.)

Bcmoaning the fact that he acted unwisely while under the influence of an overdose of "rcd eye" James II. Nichols, would-be newspaper man, who on October 2i, after failing to nego. tiate n loan with the local newspaper fraternity, and number of the cap italists and bankers of the city, passed worthless check for sl5 in the We'll ington, and later secured the cash for a $20 bogus draft in the Palace, still languishcs in the county jail, awaiting arraignment on the charge of uttcring false check, which will take place in the early part of the week, as soon as the Sheriff's office secures further evi. denee of his guilt, as we'll as informa. tion concerning his conduct in other cities, previous to his arrival here.
 It will be remembered that Nichols made his escape from this city the morning following his questionable transactions at the Wellington and Palace, to be arrested two days later by the City Marshal in Phoenix, after he had secured another small amount in cash by n similar transaction from n Phoenix merchant, which he later made good.
 It also came to light within the past few days, that J. P. Dillon, proprietor of the Dillon cigar store, had also been victimized to the tune of S5 by Nichols, who represented to MT. Dillon that he was member of the Odd Eel. lows, and could be easily identified at the bank if he could make the ac. quaintance of some of the prominent members of the order here.
 Nichols represents that he is ac. quainted with all of the members of Congress in the United States, and claims his residence as Washington D. c.

INSTALL MILL ON INDEPENr
 ENCE GROUP.
(From Saturday's Daiiy.)

Good progress is being made m the installation of the ney Lane mill on the Independence group of mines in the Hassayampa district. according to the statement of J. A. Forbes, general manager of the mines, who was here yesterday on business.
 "within the next ten days we cx- pect to have the mill running steady on ore from the mine,' he said. "The mill has n capacity of about go tons daily, and there is enough ore already mined and on the dump to keep it in operation for several days. As soon as the mill is in running order a force of miners will be put to work in the mine, where there is q stope of over 100 feet in height, and almost 300 feet in length, blocked out and ready to be mined.
 "Tho mine is opened" he continued, "by two tunnels over 300 feet in length, following the vein, which are connected by winzc, that has been sunk in the lower level to depth of 70 feet, the paystreak in tho entire workings showing to be continuous and over three feet in thickness, six inches of which is shipping ore of high grade, the remainder being good mill ing ore. One ear load shipment made i from the mine ave returns of $l25 to the ton in gold; another gave re- turns of s60 while a third gave re. turns of over ss0, the principal value being gold"
 Tho Independence group of mines, consisting of four claims, is located about twelve miles south of this city, in the Jersey Lily neighborhood, with. in short distance of the Prescott and Jersey stage road. The gold values aro found in quartz paystreak, asso- ciated with porphyry vein filling which is also highly mineralized. Water for the mill and domestic purposes is piped from spring from n higher ele. vation on the mountain, about 5000 feet distant from the camp, and min. ing timbers can be secured at n nom. inal cost from the summit of the range, about one mile from the mine.
