FOR GREATER
GRADY CO.

Minco Minstrel:
Representative johnson is prepar-
ing to introduce a bin in the legis-
lature adding to Grady county The
townships west Of Minco that the
constitutional convention failed to at
taeh. The idea is finding consider
able favor with the people living in
these townships, who realize that it
would be far better for them tc be
attached to Grady county than to
have caddo county cut in two by a
line running east and west, with Hin
ton or Binger as the county seat Of
the new county, and as Caddo is a
very large county this may be attempt
ed. Grady~county is one Of the best
in the new state, rich in natural re-
sources, and with very large ann
cunt Of taxable property and it would
be far better for the people living in
the townships west Of Us to be at
tachel to this county than to a new
county or to remain in Caddo county.

STEAMER KAREN
 TWO DAYS LATE
Will Not Make Regular Trip to Little ROck-Arriyed Here This Morn. ing-Returns to Memphis
 Tuesday.

After running aground in the lower Arkansas and being delayed nearly two days on the "up trip the steam CT John N. Harbin, known familiarly to rivermen as "The One Arm John. because of it's one smokestack, arriv- ed here this morning at 1 o'clock with good sized cargo from Mem- phis. The steamer will not make its usual weekly trip to Little Rock be- cause of it's lateness, but will remain here until tomorrow morning, when she will return to Memphis. The out going trip will be a paying one.
 The Harbin is in charge of Captain Stanfield, with Captain Reese Downs at the wheel. The accident, which delayed the steamer on her way here, was due to the low water, which makes it almost impossible for the steamer to operate in the Arkansa river at all.
 The steamer A. D. Allen, which is in the regular trade between Little Rock and Pine Bluff, will soon begin regular trips. The Allen, which is in command of Captain Botsford, has been undergoing extensive repairs at Paducah, Ky.

GLOBE MAN FIGURES
 IN VALLEY LAWSUIT

A celebrated case in which Dan Sparks of Stafford was plaintiff and j.. s. Russell of Globe was defendant and involving the title to several thousand young onions was threshed out in Judge Fonda s court at Stafford We'd nesday. Attorney A. R. Lynch appear ed for the plaintiff and Attorney Wiley Jones for the defendant. The Guardian says that Mr. Jones made an address worthy of Bombastes Furioso himself in which he stated that there are no on ions in Arizona-they are "ingans;" furthermore, onions spring from bulbs, and bulbs cannot be sued and if those ingans are not strong enough to light their own ease the opposite party should be made to eat them. Judge Fonda di- vided the value of the onions and costs of court between the parties to the suit and all went their ways rejoicing.

UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION

The weakness of the copper market and heavy falling off in the demand for the metal is causing much apprehension among producers. The recent cut of three cents per pound made by the lead ing producers of copper and selling agencies failed of its purpose to bring the large consumers of copper into the market and prices have continued to sag. Lake copper is quoted in our mar ket report this morning at 20.50 to 21 cents and Electrolytic copper-the brand under which most of the Arizona product is classed after being refined is selling at 19.50 to 20 cents.
 These prices represent loss of five cents per pound to the producer, which means to company making 30,000,00C of copper year reduction of $l ,500, 900 annually in earnings. Small pro dueers, with insufficient capital to carry their copper through period of depres sion are forced to sell their coper foi what it will bring and the total of these offerings are large enough to supply tho immediate wants of consumers, who have adopted a hand to- mouth policy 1T making their purchases. The result i, an unstable market with the tendency to still lower prices.
 Copper producers are also confronted with the highest wage scale in the his tory of the industry and increased cos of supplies of all kinds-conditioni which make the outlook for copper min ing decidedly unsatisfactory. Should these discouraging conditions continu, for any length of time, hundreds oi small producers and development com panies would find it unprofitable t continue operations and their suspen sion would throw out of employmen thousands of wage workers, causing glut in the labor market and depression in general business at the mining cen ters.
 In view of the possibility of such situation obtaining spirit of conserva tism should assert itself among al classes. It would be the height of foll, for wage workers to make further dc mands upon the employing companie for increase of pay or reduction of hour of labor. The condition of labor wa never so satisfactory as it is at tn present time in the mining camps o the southwest and it behooves the work ingman to seriously consider these ma ters and act conservatively on all quei tions affecting the relations of labor { capital.

BETTER FREIGHT
 RATES 0N P. & [.
Saddle Mountain Company Gets Greatly Reduced Rate on Matte Shipments to Humboldt Shelter and Other Reduc- tions Are Promised District.

The rates on the Phoenix X Eastern since that road has been acquired by the Randolph system, which have been the cause of considerable complaint, are being bettered, according to the follow ing from the Florence Blade:
 Through the efforts of General Man ager F. II. Oxman of the Arizona Smelt- ing company at Humboldt, the Southern Pacific company has agreed to transport conner matte from Winkelinan to Phoe- nix over the F. X E. at rate of $3.So per ton and the Santa Fe company has agreed to handle it from Phoenix to the Humboldt smelter for $2 per ton, mak- ing total of $5.S5 per ton as compared with the rate of $l2.70 charged since the Southern Pacific came into posses sion of the P & F. some time ago. Out of the old rate the P. X F.. management got $7 and the Santa Fe $5.7O.
 The new rate was made expressly for the Saddle Mountain Mining company at Christmas, but when other smelters in Pinal county get under way they will, of course, get the same rate. Tie Christmas shelter ships all its copper matte to Humboldt to be worked over and at the high freight rate there was some talk of closing down this plant, but with this rate reduction we are now assured of a continuance of operations at the shelter.
 General Agent M. O. Bickncll of the Randolph lines has stated that he world do all in his power to assist in encoTr- aging the development Of Pinal county by lower freight rates.
 The rumor that has been .'irculatet to the effect that the Saddle Mountain Mining company hal shut down, was not true, although the company may have had that intention pending the arranging of lower rate of transpor- tation on its product. Their railroad from Winkelman to the mine at Christ mas. distance of about five miles has been completed.
 The Countess group of eight claims, situated on the line of the P. F. rail road three miles west of Kelvin, was |
 sold this week to Los Angeles and San Diego capitalists for s35,000, several thousand of which were paid down This property was located by Geo. Sar' rick and has been held by him for q number of years. MT. Sarrick has been in Arizona thirty years and on the iron tier ffty-two years. He will leave this week for the east to visit his old home and win take with him his daughter Miss Ethel, and his son, Lloyd. He will leave the latter in school in the east He expects to return inside of a montf and will then become superintendent of the Countess group, and as he knows the ground and has had many years oi experience in mines he should mako success of the work.
 The Blade is always glad to see thu fold -timers' win out and congratulate George upon his good fortune.
 The contract for working or devel opment shaft on the Countess group wa let this week, but active work will no be commenced till a month later.
 The second payment of s6,000 vii be made in six months from date an, the balance in one year from date.

ATTEMPT TO GET ARTESIAN
 WATER IN VALLEY FAILS

The big well of the railroad company being sunk under contract by King Uptain and George Campbell just south of Thatcher, was completed so far as the contract was concerned last Wednes- day. The well is down 800 feet and in the absence of any of the railroad officials the contractors ceased to work, says the Guardian. While small flow of artesian water was encountered, the enterprise has proven disappointment, although it is believed that with further depth good flow of water will be en- countered. At the S00-foot depth the flow was apparently the same as when first encountered at depth of 240 feet It is believed that the company will go farther into the ground.
