Ore Assays S50,OOO a Ton.

With six small boxes of the richest gold specimens that ever came to Phoenix, H. J. Degenar, secretary treasurer of the New YOrk-Arizona Gold and Copper company, arrived in the city to place on exhibition at the
 fair grounds lis rich specimens. As
 says of the ore run as high as 0O,OOO to the ton.
 J.F. Cleaveland, Graham County's
 brilliant young member of the last
 territorial council, is president of the company, and he vouches for all
 the claims that are made by the com
 pany.
 The samples Degenar brings are securely locked in small boxes, cov- cred with glass. h each of the boxes
 are loo or more samples, and each of
 them shows the gold in abundance. The samples alone are worth several
 hundred dollars.
 The rich strike was made on the company's property near Morenci i last October, and has attracted wide
 attention, the surrounding country l for severnl miles being staked out in claims as soon as the discovery by the New York-Arizona company became known.
 Speaking of what the company has Secretary Degenar said: "The property of the company is | located two miles wese of MOrenci,
 where the Detroit company has ex-
 tensive works in operation for the
 reduction of copper ores, and at
 which place the metal has been pro,
 duced with profit for over twenty
 years.
 "The claims are short distance from railroad facilities. The Mo reuci Southern railroad having it;
 terminus in the town of Morenci . Eeuce there are no long distances tC , be trayeled in marketing the product: , of the company's mines: a matter O. great importance, as costs of trans . nortation often consume the bulk o. - profit.
 "The mineral formation covering | the claims of the company is identi ' cal with that of Copper Mountain - one mile away, upon which the bes n producing mines of the Arizona ant t Detroit Copper companies are locate'
 and from which the two companie : have drawn their chief supplies o t ore for the last twenty years or more e "The property owned by the con g pany consists of twenty-five minin : claims, covering 300 acres of minera 6 land, located in the heart of regiO II famous for it's wealth of gold, silve II and copper.
 e ''Adioiuing the property of thi
 company are the claims of the De
 troit Copper company, owned by tn
 city, and also the claims of the Ar
 zona Copper company; Scotch col $ poratiOn. one of the largest produC t CTS in the territory, the origina Il stock of which had d par value of $ per share and was quoted lately a d 92SS per share. it was once sold a 7. low as D cents per share.

CLARK SAYS IT WAS
 OVER PRODUCTION.
United Verde Man Gives Interesting Views
 on Cause Of Present Slump.

Charles w. Clark, general manager of the United Verde Copper company, at Jerome, who returned there last week, after an extensive tour ot Europe, speaking of the copper mar ket conditions past and present, said:
 s'The meteoric fall in the price of copper was due. primarily. to an over production, which was stimulated by the very high price of the metal, reaching, as it did, about ? cents, but there has been another reason which I will touch upon later.
 "It was not until six weeks ago that it was ascertained by the gen. eral public that there was an enor- nous stock of copper on hand in the United States. This, at the present neighborhood of 22j, 100000 pounds. That this enormous accumulation could have taken place without it be- ing generally known is not remark able, in view of the fact that the production of copper on a large scale is limited to about half dozen large companies in the United States, and the disposal or sale of the metal is in the hands of three or four concerns, but that the public did not k2Ow the condition of the copper market, and, in fact, that some insiders did not know it, is shown by the fact that not later than last August MT. San ton, of New York, who should be in a position to understand the copper market, thoroughly, stated that there were practically no copper -stocks on hand, and that John Gillie, one of the active managers of the Amalgamated property, in Butte, practically 50 stated in an interview which he issued some ten weeks ago, on his return from the east. Why the Amalgamated company, which has undoubtedly from one-third to one-half of this large supply of cop per kept this fact a general secret, it is hard to tell of course, it was but natural that when it became gener- ally known the price of copper should fall, as the consumers would natur- ally be in position to dictate the price.
 Smother reason, however, as stated before, for the material reduction in the price for the metal, is due to the fact that the enormous developments projected in the last year for electric railroad systems throughout the United States and Europe, which, of course, supplies one of the largest uses.of copper, had to be abandoned on account of the general stringency in the money market, and the fact that in the last six months, and more particularly in the last two months, it has been impossible to borrow any money whatsoever to conduct these operations of new building and inn provements."

THANKSGIVING DAY.
A Proclamation by the Governor.
TO The People of Arizona:

To the People of Arizona:
 Of all our national holidays, that one which is the most peculiarly American is near at hand. It seems eminently right that Thanksgiving Day should be enc of our greatest holidays, for it is a national belief that our beloved favored country is in the especial keeping of Divine Providence
 lowed, in all places where Americans are to be found, by our own custom of family reunions for it's celebration It is thus a holiday of happy thanks giving, holiday of joyous meetings, and holiday in which memories of the past have a sacred part.
 And because most of us have left homes elsewhere in order to establish homes in Arizona, there is, perhaps, no other section of the Union in which the day is more generally well comed or its significance more appre- ciated.
 The president of the United States has designated Thursday, the twenty eighth day of this month as Thanks giving Day for this year.
 Now therefore, I, Joseph H. Kibbey, governor of Arizona, do hereby desig- nate Thursday, November 2S, 1907, as Thanksgiving Day in this territory, and I recommend to the people that they observe the day in a proper spirit and manner, in accordance with their own sense of obligation and of wholesome pleasure.
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the Territory to the territory to be affixed. Done at the City of Phoenix, the Capitol, this eleventh day of November, nineteen hundred and seven.

METCALF NEWS.

A fire at the Shannon mine between Il and F o'clock Tuesday ot last week destroyed the Mexican board ing house and another building and also several tents.
 Faustine Garcia, the supply clerk at the Metcalf mine of the Arizona Copper company, died very suddenly last Friday morning. He was on duty the day before, and was not complaining.
 Juan Lapeta, a miner at the Coro- nado mine. was instantly killed by fall of rock last week. He was com pletely buried by the debris and it required several hours work of force of men to recover the body.

M lday morning dawned wet and foggy, and having completely lost their bearings they wandered around through the mountains until In the afternoon they eventually struck a trail that faithfully followed brought them into civilization. There seems to be some confusion in their minds as to the country covered by them on the expedition, as they report having gained a view from a high mountain peak of a large body of water, but were not sure whether it was Great Salt Lake or the SaltOn Sea: but as they admit they are not positive that they crossed the Colorado river con6dentially what they saw was d fog-bank in Eagle river valley. Much uneasiness was felt by their friends and they were just beginning to think about starting to get ready to make preparations to organize search and relief party, when a wire less rumor began circulating that a team of long-faced. wild-eyed, wet Wllies had been sighted heading down a trail from the west. On in vestigation of the report located them at the boardinghouse, where they had held up the Chinese cook and had him on the jump executing quick orders for breakfast, dinner anl supper.

Within the past year or fifteen months there has been a number of changes effected in the agencies through which some of the leading copper producers of this country dis nose ot their metal. The most inn Dortant of these are the transfer ot the Baltic output now included in Copper Range from the Americam Metal company to the United Metals Selling company, shifting to w. A. Clark Montana product from the Vogelstein agency to the American Metal company and the acquisition by the Vogelsteins from the United Metals of the Bingham Consolidated. The product of the United Verde, formerly handled by L. Vogelstein x Co.,, is now sold by w. A. Clark through his manufacturing concern in New Jersey, the Waclark Wire company. While the American Smelling & Refining company sells about 6O,OOO pounds through the United Metals, the Guggenheims sell annually through the American Smelling Securities company ap proximately 3O,OOO,oOO pounds. Thi: includes Tacoma Copper company formerly sold through L. Vogelstelr & Co.-Boston News Bureau.

ROAD DRAINAGE.
Importance Which It Sustalns to the
Durability of Macadam Con-
struction.

Water should never be permitted
to remain under macadam road. 1t
softens the foundation so that the
broken stones are forced down into
It by the wheels of vehicles, thus
causing ruts to develop in the
machadam. In freezing it expands
and "heaves" the broken stone, de-
stroying the bond between the stones
and causing the larger stones to rise
to the surface. AS result the ma
terial in the subgrade is forced up
into the interstices between the
stones, and in the spring the macadam
will be found to be rough, irregular In
shape, and weakened. There are sew
eral ways of removing the difficulties
with subsurface water, at least in part.

BETTER FEED, BETTER MEAT.
A Very Close Relationship Exists Be-
tween Feed and Flavor in Pork.

But few farmers think of the in
fiuence of feeding on the quality of
the bacon or pork. 1t is we'll
known fact that mast" makes soft,
oily bacon, as do peanuts and other
light feeds. Corn is not always best
for an exclusive diet, but if a pig has
been kept growing and has had plenty
of good pasture till it is six months
old and weighs say $50 to 200 pounds.
1t will be well to feed 1t on corn alto
gether till another 100 pounds is
gained. After pig is fat it is best
to finish off by feeding mixed ration
of skim milk and oats or barley for
a few weeks before butchering. Skim
milk has a tendency to make the pork
more firm, as has likewise both oats
and barley. Pigs that have not had
proper pasturage while growing will
not make as good bacon as those that
have been properly cared for, declares
Farmers Voice. Before the subject
of curing bacon is touched 1t is well
to look so far ahead as the growing
of the pig.

WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE.
Practically Unobtainable During Period
Of Mlssouri's History. i

However scarce money may be at
times at the present" said an old Mis-
sourian, "the oldest inhabitants will
recall when 1t was almost unobtain-
able and other commodities had to be
used as media Of exchange. The
VOLTS scalp was worth dollar be-
cause it was a state bounty upon the
death of wolf, and venison hams
and deer skins also had purchasing
value. Skins of the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable. When
the first sheriff of Audrain county, in
1887, went to Jefferson City to deliver
the county revenue, he met an old
friend on the way who, needing
money, wanted to borrow the actual
coin part of the county's revenue. The
good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and
went on to the capital and delivered
only the scalps. BY the time of the
next settlement the loan was repaid
and the sheriff made his next settle
ment complete. No note or other OBJ
legation than the mere word was
given. Columbia Herald.

Sometimes IL the grade is raised IN
wet places the trouble will be less
ened, particularly If porous materials
are used.
Side drains may be constructed in
the cuts on each side of the road. just
outside of the limits of the macadam
These drains consist of narrow
trenches, filled with broken stones or
small gravel stones, with a pipe five
or six inches in diameter near the
bottom. The pipe is laid with open
points, true to grade, and is carried to
a proper outlet. Sometimes the pipe
is omitted and the entire trench filed
with stones, in which case it is
called blind drain. Such drains serve
to cut off the subsurface water before
1t can get under the macadam.
A trench of a width identical with
the width of the macadam may be
excavated for depth of from II to 1S
inches in the center and to a depth
of from six to eight inches on the
sides, shaped on the bottom like a
fattened letter v. This trench is
filled with field or any sort of stones,
varying in size from the smallest OBJ
tainable to such as are eight or ten
inches in diameter, the largest stones
being placed at the bottom. The
stones need not be placed with special
care, but yet so as to permit their
consolidation by roller. The bot
tom of the trench should be tolerably
true to grade, and "cut-off'' lateral
trenches filled with stones are neces.
sary to carry the water to proper out
lets. Such drain is usually effective,
and ordinarily costs less than two
side or blind drains.

Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window of farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
Of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
The house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession of
their house.-Country Life.
