COL. MOSBY'S GIFT

oner Saved Life by His
Quick Wit.

Col. John 8. Mosby, the famous
guerilla leader, who attended a G. a.
R. banquet In Boston a few nights
ago, was delighted with the cordially
and good will OF, his hosts. Whatever
doubt there was In my mind aboutthc

AT the banquet Itsat next TO a man
whom l had captured during the war.
When / first sat down l was rather
proud that l had captured him. We
had not been together q half hour be
fore l began to be sorry that l had
captured him. and before the last
speech was made was genuinely
sorry that he had not captured me"
Col. Mosby. who is now an assistant
attorney in the department of Justice,
has always been noted for his sense OF
humor. 1t went a long way once to.

and his men lay all night in ambush
nea a railroad waiting for 4 federal
supply train. 1t finally came along,
and was captured by the confederate,
who. however, lost two or three OF
their men. This did not please Col.
Mosby. and he showed It by some OF
the things he said 10 the federal pTis-
oners. "Ag for YOU he said to one
of these men, II am gong to hang
you the moment / sec the sun rise TO.

Il hope 1t will be a cloudy day"
said the Yankee. The reply so pleased
Col. 3Iosby that he did not hang the
man who made It or anybody else. In.
stead, the prisoners were confined and
later exchanged.
1t was about the same time in Col.
Mosby's career that he made his
famous gift to President Lincoln. His
headquarters were at Z Virginia farm.

the second day following.
He was as good as his word. He
presented himself promptly on time
and informed Col. Mosby that the pres.
ent and the compliment had both been
delivered.
And what did he say?" demanded
the guerilla leader.
"Oh," said the farmer, che just

GLOBE, April lS.-All stocks opened fairly strong and closed with an ad- vanced showing. Everything looks as though the market has an upward ten dency. While sentiment remains large ly bearish among commission houses and traders, there appears to be a feel ing that all good stocks will advance gradually.
 Old Dominion opened at $52.50 and closed at $53 bid and $53.50 asked. Globe Consolidated is held at $14 and looks strong. Among the best buys in the copper share market Utah Consoli. dated seems to us to head the list. It is a very good producer and makes a net profit of 1929 cents on the lS,- 533,974 pounds of copper which it pro ducod Inst year, average selling price per pound of copper being ls.e This shows the cost of production to be only 3.6l cents per pound.

MARKET LOOKS
 LITTLE BETTER
Amalgamated Declares Regular Divi- nd-Yesterday' Trading Conceded to Be the Dullest for Many Months -ZClose Somewhat Stronger.
(By l. N. Kinsey)


 GLOBE, April ls.-Hutton of New York says: Today's market was one of inactivity. Sales of stock was smallest seen for a long time. Room traders were tho only factors in the market and they held of from any extensive opera tions in view of fear of selling stock that could not be replaced with profit. Sentiment is generally bearish, notwith- standing that a good bank statement is looked for Saturday. Although rain has appeared in dry seasons of south west, commission business was practic- ally nothing. One can hardly expect anything but a good trading market until future is known of crop outlook and general business conditions. Stocks are buy on any fair recessions and profits should be taken on bulges.
 Paine of Boston says: Brokers gen orally conceded this to have been the dullest day for several months. In both markets business practically at stand still. Amalgamated declared regular quarterly dividend of $2, but this had absolutely no effect on the market. To- wards the close more encouraging news came from English money markets, which caused rally of about a point all through the list. Tomorrow is holi' day here, but New York and Chicago open as usual.

BENSON SHELTER
 HAS NEW OWNER
Long Idle Reduction Works Passes to Control of Boston & Montana Smelt- ing Company-will Soon Be in op- eration, Says Benson Paper.

That Benson will move forward with jump within the year, as contended by this paper for the past few months, is an assured fact, says the Cochise County Press. This paper has repeated ly held, in spite of all doubting Thom- ases, that movement looking toward the operation of the Benson smelter would be on foot in April. It is with a great deal of satisfaction that we an nounce the fact again.
 For some time past work of clearing all indebtedness on the shelter plant has been put forth with the result that today the property stands clear of any and all debts watevsr. The owners, the Southwestern Smelling company, have disposed of and turned over all the holdings with clear title to the Boston & Arizona Smelling company, and is matter of record. The people compos- ing the new company are among the wealthiest men of Boston and New York, men of wide business reputation. The company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, with a capital stock of s2,5OO,0OO, divided into 25,000 shares of the par value of sl0o. There is no preferred stock.
 Actual work of putting the smelter in shape- will commence very soon. This is given on good authority and is no idle talk. What 1t means for this district and Benson can be judged when it is known that some of the wealthiest men of the country have taken over the present plant and will put in operation and add what will be one of the biggest custom ore smelters of the southwest copper district.
 The men composing the Boston X Arizona Copper company recognize in Benson s location that it will be in the very heart of the richest copper belt ever discovered; that railroad facilities are unequaled by any point in the southwest, being on the main line of the Southern Pacific, the northern terminal of the Sonora railway and the western terminal of the E. P. & s. W. The Santa Fe, which is to enter Benson from down the river on the north, will be building to this point within the year. This will connect Benson with Phoenix, distance of 185 miles. It is also recognized that all hauls will be on down grade.
 After two months work, comprising changes and repairs, will be required before the smelter can be blown in.

It so chanced that five days later there was established in Phoenix sanitar. inn of the McKanna Three-Day Liquor Cure.
 The McKanna company offered to treat Acosta free of charge of Cover nor Kibbey would pardon him, the man having large family of destitute chil- dren. The governor agreed to do so if Justice Burnett would recommend 1t. The treatment was begun and three days later Judge Burnett made the rec eommendation and Governor Kibbey is. sued the pardon. This was more than six months ago and to this good hour Acosta has not taken another drink, but has been making an honest living for his family.
