The mayor of Terre Haute, Ind. writes: This city is Just taking up the matter and considering the question of establishing a muniei pal water plant
 The mayor of Wichita, Kan, writes: This city, like your city, is contemplating the municipal ownership of waterworks."
 The mayor of Wilmington, Del, writes: This city has owned the waterworks for a great number of years, and at the rates now being 1 charged, it nets the city profit Of l s75,O00 to $100,O00 per annum."
 The mayor of Kansas City, Mo-. writes: So far as Kansas City's experience with it's water plant is concerned it has been quite satis. factory. The plant is in first-rate shape, up to date, pipes extended as fast as needed in the building of new homes. We have a we'll. equipped station. We reduced rates 25 per cent since the time Kansas City took hold of the plant worth at least $5,0O0,OOO over and above it's bonded indebtedness. We nave saved the people at the re- duced rates something in the neighborhood of million dollars"
 The mayor of New Bedford, Mass, writes: "The advantages of municipal ownership are many. They are more apt to provide a liberal supply, lay large mains, pro- vide better fire protection, put more safeguards around the purity of the source of supply, for the reason they do not consider the scheme from dividend-making point of view"
 The mayor of Fort Wayne, Ind. writes: Fort Wayne owns and op- crates it's WaterwOrks system. The plant was established in 1S79-8O, and cost $30O,OOO and to meet the cost the city sold $27O,OOO worth of bonds. There has been no other bond issue for the waterworks, and the plant has not only been selt- sustaining for many years, but self extending as we'll. We now have about 100 miles of mains as against 25 miles in 1880, the pumping capacity is about 16,OOO,- 900 gallons per day, against B. OOO,OOO in 1880. The gross rev enue per year is about $90,OOO. The city do not contribute any thing for waterworks purposes. There are now about 200 fire hy- drants installed, for which the city pays nothing. All public buildings are supplied free. We consider our waterworks plant worth S2,OOO,- 900. The public water service is worth from $40,000 to $5O,OOO per year. and we are saving the private water consumers at least $1OO,OOO per year in rates, over what would be charged by private company. In conclusion. I would say that we consider municipal ownership and operation of waterworks in fort Wayne success in every sense of the word"
 The mayor of Richmond. Va. writes: We have owned our water works for more than half a century and l do not think .this community would consent for one moment to consider any proposition to part with them to a private interest. In this community we regard the ] ownership of the waterworks by { the people as an essential and in- alienable necessity

It is seldom, if ever, that the
public is given a chance to pur-
chase good hardware at a re-

denesee Farmer Goes Insane.

Edward Vail, a prosperous
young farmer living near Gene
see, is thought to have gone in
sane and drowned himself in the
Clearwater river. VAIL was in
Genesee Monday morning and
left for home but stopped his
team at a vacant building on his
farm. He then left a note to
his wife telling her how to take
care of the place and said the
Clearwater would take care of
him. When he could not be
found on the farm Mrs. Wahl
had Harry Draper and his blood
hounds brought from Spokane to
assist in the search. The dogs
took the scent at once and fol-
lowed the trail through fields of
grain and over the rough canyon
sides to a point about a mile
above the Spalding railroad
bridge where the trail ended at
the waters edge. The twisting
and turning of the trail made by
Wahl clearly showed him to have
been out of his head and it is
thought by many that he carried
out his intention of drowning
himself.
Vail was a young man %
years of age and was married
about year ago to Miss Williams
of Spalding. Their married life
was apparently very happy.
Vail was out of debt and had
1900 acres of Indian land under
lease near Genesee on which a
fine crop now stands.
What caused Wahl to go insane
is not known but as his father
left home in a similar way several
years ago and his skeleton was
afterward found in canyon
near the Clearwater together
with his gun it is thought by
many that insanity runs in the
family and young VAIL may
have inherited it. While his
body has not yet been found all
believe he lost his life in the
Clearwater.

Prominent UniOntOwn Citizen Dead

L. F. Darr, a prominent hard
ware merchant of Uniontown,
Wash, and we'll known by many
residents of this county, died
late Saturday evening at his
home from injuries received that
morning on the Lewiston hill.
1t seems he was driving to Lew
iston and in some unaccountable
manner was thrown off the grade.
He was picked up later by a
passing team and taken back to
Uniontown where he died that
night. He had his face bruised
beyond recognition and was also
injured internally.
The deceased was about 40
years of age and leaves a wife
and several children to mourn
his untimeIy death. He had
been a resident of Uniontown for
a number of years and was well
known and highly respected.
He first taught school there and
later engaged in the hardware
and implement business, build
ing up a large trade and acquir-
ing much property. He was
quite prominent in politics and a
strong factor in the affairs of the
town in which he lived and his
death will be sincerely mourned
by all who knew him.
The writer had the pleasure of
attending the school taught at
Uniontown by Mr.. Darr and ex-
tends heartfelt sympathy to his
bereaved family in their sad
affection.

 Broker,

BISBEE, Ariz., Jan. 21, 1907.-The market in coppers recovered much of it's lost strength during the day. Trading was quite brisk, and prices advanced in several of the stocks, especially Superor & Pittsburg, East Butte and North Butte. Greene and Cananea-Central also quickened, and there was considerable trading in them. Dem still kept to the S7C mark. Stock was offered at so and SIP, but there was no buye4s at that price, although s6s was offered freely; {; that failed to bring any out. The cor railing of the stock has made ihe traders worry. Wolverine was the most active stock localIys the price has stiffened dp considerably. and s35O failed to bring any out this even- ing. Several are taking interest in the Brooks Consolidated, and certainly it has better promise as an invest ment than most on the board, though not as quick as some others.

NORTH BUTTE PUzzLIAG
 10 STOCK BUYERS
This Stock Should Easily Earn S25,00 Per Share During
 the Present Year.

zs sBoston.-The market action of North Butte has been puzzling. In spite of the many good things that have happened to the company there has been absolutely no effort on the paSt of those that usually take a sharp interest in its market course to make it keep pace with the market.
 In fact there has been quite the re- verse action taken on the property which has fluctuated up and down in almost perfect unison with Amalgam. ated.
 During the present year North Butte should be easily able to earn se5 per share and when the property gets able to handle 2,000 tons of ore a day, its earnings will go above that figure on a copper market that is anything like the dimensions of the present one.
 On the basis of 2.o00 tons of ore . day, and allowing that the company win make 320 working days during 1907 out of possible S65, North Butte should produce GAG, ,o0s tons or ore This will be largely first-clsss ore which will average the company about ' per cent refined copper.
 This will indicate an annual pro. duction of copper Of 44,S00 tons. or Ss, 600, 900 pounds of copper.
 If the company succeeds in produc- ing this copper at 10 cents 8 pound it will make<gross net profit, grant ing that the average price of copper for 1907 is 22 cents a pound, of s10,- 652, ,000 which on the 400, 900 shares of the company will be profit of s26.50 per share.
 These estimates are extremely lib- eral Owing to the gold and silver values in the ore the price of produc- tion of the North Butte copper should be nearer cents a pound than 10; so that much higher profits are in prospect that have been estimated above.
 As each cent of profit would mean a considerable sum to the sharehold- CTS of North Butte, 1t can easily be seen that the chances of the property to reach an even higher sum per share are more than ordinarily good.

W.C. GREENE Is AFIELD
 AFTER PROPERTIES An Army of ProSpectorS Are Hunting After the Red
 Metal In His Interest.

There is no doubt whatever about the activity of Colonel w. c. Greene. He made the Cananea and he will yet make other mines. Now he has the cash and just as many friends and probably more than he ever had. He is the kind of 6 man to attract to him men who know the lay of the land and who know where ore bodies exist. At the present time he Is op- erating in Patagonia, Santa Cruz coun- ty. There is copper and other mineral there and Col. Greene Is after them. His prospectors are sharp, clear headed men who know their business from 6 to lizard, and he pays them well; he can afford to for it Is by and through them that he comes in touch with mines and minerals. Dair Moi. fatt of Denver gained his immense wealth by keeping prospectors at work for him. His grub staksd" men have made him millions.
 In the Patagonia country he has purchased ths three Re formerly owned by R. R. Richardson. Thi1 is the mias that displayed sheets oS na- tive copper tn the ancient town of Tucson. IL is mighty good mine and Greene has got 1t. This isn't all he has got by any means in Patagonia His experts and prospectors are at work as we'll as Greene himself, and ae knows what a good prospect is just as well as the best man he has in his employ; and he has a host of them scattered throughout the coun- try. He talks and advises with them and they have orders to find the stuff if it exists. He is working quietly and secretly and before long the world will hear from Bill Greene again-pos- sibly with another Cananea. The astute Cole may yet have another min ing proposition to buy and wear a double crown through the explorations of the doughty colonel.
 Greene is not dead, neither is he asleep. He is at work day and night and he has an army of the best men afield to aid him and they will do 1t, for he has never dropped one of them either in diversity or prosperity. He has always been true to his friends and they all know it. Look out for Bill Greene for he is "a mine hunter and he is hunting now with a fist full of money.
