The Kind They Nominate.

1t is reported that D. w. Wicker
sham, of Stafford, has been elected to
the legislature from Graham county.
"Wick" as he is Familiarity known to
his many friends in Graham and Co.
chise counties, is one of the pioneers
of the territory. He taught the
first school ever taught in the ella
valley and that was before the county
of Graham had been created in 1881.
For many years he lived at lewiston
in this county. He is the senior
member of the firm of Solomon &
Wickersham, now doing business at
lewiston, Stafford and Globe. In the
whole territory of Arizona there is
not more reliable man and if re.
publican had to be elected from the
democratic stronghold everybody who
knowe D. w. Wickersham will agree
that no better republican could have
| been chosen.-Review.

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

The metal market continues quiet
and prices are unchanged. Lake and
electrolytic are selling, according to
dates and quantities, all the way
from % cents to % cents per pound.
The violent fluctuations in the Lon
don market recently have brought
consuming interests to their senses
and the wild scramble to buy for dis
tant future deliveries seems to be
over for the present at least. There
is no sign of a decrease in the con-
sumption, however, and it is not i'm
probable that another rush to buy
and resultant higher prices may be
witnessed in the near future. The
Calumet & Hecla company has just
made a sale OF 100000 pounds of
copper at 223- cents per pound. De-
liveries on this contract extend up to
next March.
AS the year draws nearer its close
it becomes more and more apparent
that the increase in copper produc-
tion for the year 1906 will fall far
short of early expectations. For in
stance, the Lake Superior district
will probably send less copper to
market this year than it did last,
and the increase in the Butte dis
trict will not exceed per cent. to )
per cent. There will be d slight in
crease from Utah and California, and
the Bisbee and Globe districts in
Arizona will show quite notable in
creases. Taken altogether it is
probable that the increase in the
worlds production will not exceed 5
per cent In view of the fact that
the consumption demand has in
creased at least 20 per cent. this
year it is not difficult to understand
and appropriate the sensational con-
ditions ruling in the metal market.
Leading Lake Superior. producers
ing more copper if they could hire
more men. The scarcity of labor in
that district is most acute. Produc-
ton is being curtailed in other dis
tricts by similar conditions. A
strike in the Crows Nest coal dis
trict has made it necessary for the
CRANKY company to close two of its
furnaces temporarily. The extern
sive development work planned in
the Bingham district, and at Ely,
Nevada, is dragging because of the
shortage in the labor supply 1t
would seem now that the anticipated
increase next year III the production
of several districts must fail of real
ization. There will, indeed, be cause
for much rejoicing if the worlds out
put increases another per cent. to
I per cent. in 1907. There is GER
tainly no reason now to anticipate
any decline in copper prices for sew
eral months to come, at least.

From present indications there
will be a spirited contest before the
new board of supervisors for the ap-
pointment of county clerk. George
Carlton is an applicant to succeed
himself, and Miss Shirley, of Met
calf, will also most likely be an appli-
cant for the honor. And then there
are others. George Carlton has
served for the past two years, and is
a competent man in the place, but
unfortunately for him, he belongs
to one of the "wings" of the party,
and whether his reappointment will
meet with the encouragement of the
other swing" is a. question that can
not be answered at the present time.
The supervisors have not lost any
sleep over the matter yet, but it is a
question that is bothering them not
a little. Carlton if from the "ban-
ner democratic precinct" at least it
formerly claimed that distinction,
and as the precinct got what the
little boy shot at in the last conven-
ton, the democrats of that section
naturally feel that something is due
them for past favors, if nothing else.
The board will be democratic, hence
the responsibility is not worrying the
republicans to any very appreciable
extent

DOES IT MEAN THE
EXTENSION OF S. p?
Large Number of LabOrers Now Camped
at Guthrie.

For several days past laborers have
been arriving and going into camp
near Guthrie on the ella river, until
at the present time there are from
sixty to seventy-fve, men in the
camp. The men are noncommital as
to their purpose, but when the great
scarcity of labor in this section is
considered, it must be recognized
that this grouping of labor is not
mere accident.
1t is the general superstition that
the men are in the employment of
the Southern Pacific railroad, and
that the work of extending
the road from Stafford up the
ella river, and will be pushed with
vigor through the box Canyon~of the
river. The main line of the ella
Valley & Globe road has now been
practically rebuilt, and there have
the effect that it would be extended
up the river to Clifton and Morenci.
The survey was made for this line
several years ago. The plan of the
S. P. to run its main line from
Yuma up the ella river, so as to
avoid the many heavy grades of the
old line, was announced several years
ago, and with that end in view the
company have been doing an immense
amount of work in the country be-
tween Florence and Globe.
In connection with the arrival of
the men at Guthrie, it is rumored
that work train with supplies and
material will arrive there this week,
after which the work will be COM
menced.
The work of constructing a rail-
road grade through the box canyon
from the mouth of the Frisco to San
Jose, where the lower valley COM
mences will require a large force of
men for probably eighteen months or
two years. The greater portion~ of
the work will be in solid rock, and
will cost lot of money, but it will
give the company ''water grade
of about ! of 1 per cent, which will
be great saving of expense.
