Rev. W. 4, Spinney has received a tier from one of t,,.o pastors in Fall River in which city the Chapman evangelists are laboring most suc q- fully at this time, saying that l district into which the city is divided thinks their evangelist and singer Is the best, all being equally good. Last Monday night the large Central Con- Igregational church was filled with three great congregations. As soon as one congregation was dismissed an- other entered until the three crowds were cared for There was a great 77eeting for men only in the opera house on Sunday afternoon The evan gelists are in great favor with the workers.

The Copper Situation

To arrive at a clear understanding of the present demoralzed condition
Of the copper trade it is necessary to go back for a long distance, an to-
begin with generalzahons of world wide scope.
The depression in the copper trade is merely a manifestation of a dis
ease from which the entire civilized world is suffering. The copper trade
is in bad shape because money is tight, not only in the United States but
in Europe as well, and money is tight throughout the world because there
has been a unusually large supply of money during the past ten years
BY reason of the wonderful stimulation of business caused by the in
ceasing gold supply, the amount of money for new enterprises, while
necessary from year to year, has grown too small for the demand.
In the past the iron trade vas called the barometer of business This
was due mainly to the fact that the railroads constituted n of the lag
est consuming interests in the iron and steel trades The advanced
ground in the field of transportationhas been taken by the trolley lines
There are about 10000 miles of trolley roads, including both urban and
interurban lines, in the United States and plans are under way for inereas
es aggegatng nearly 80 per cent of the exHing mileage. Owing to the
general tightness of money, the nw trolley lines have lot been able to
raise the cash required for thier construction, through bond issues, since
the beginning of 1907. Inability to find cash for building nw lines, sup

nearly total paralysis of the copper wire trade. This led to a great and
immediate curtaiment in the demandfor copper, the wire trade being me
of the largest consumers OF the American copper supply
This caused rapidly increasing stocks of the metal, and the situation was
aggravated by the unusually high price of copper early in 1907, for
which high price consumers, rather than producers, should shoulder the
trade, with decreased demands in other lines, supplemented by unduy

How Nevada has Enriched the World
From the Battle Mountain Herald.

The puerie efforts of such magazines as Golfers to divert capital from
investment in Nevada, by malicious Misrepresentation, would seem utterly
idotic to the informed if their purpose IA less evident. But their design
is toe fragrant. Therefore they are nor properly stigmatzed as mali
cnus, tina senseless. Certainly the articles which have appeared in that
periodical with such frequency and persisteney could prove only n of
two things, namely, ignorance OF the part Of the writer OF a wnfun dstor
tOn of the truth. But they are senselss in being miseonceived as a mea-
sure of prudence. They would muz1et he o that treadeth tut the corn.
Twice in the life Of the republic have the mines If Nevada saved the eoun-
try from financial shpwreek, and the era o dawning shows promise Of
becoming the most productive period in the states history.
If re but turn back the pages a fey years we will see that Nevada has n
rched the world by many millions IF dollars It should not be forgotten
that from the comstoek alone there vas extracted the colossal sum of
5000 100000; Eureka has contributed s25ooO0ooo; Phoebe s25OooOo0; Ar
sins5ooooyooo, and 50 IN Today qoldfeld alone is sending ut over a
million every month, innumerable other camps are producing in greater or
less proportion, and as yet the state is scarcely prospected and almost who'll
ly undeveloped
In trade N mn must lose in order that another may gain but wealth
taken from nature dsprives n . man, but ennches all men. For this reason
mining is the ideal business; it is the means OF increasing the worlds
wealth.
Every dollar Of eastern money invested in Nevada, like the talent of
the wise servant, has returned a hundred fold. We do 10 mean that every
investment in Nevada mines or mining stocks has been profitable; for not
al who invested here w invested wisely. Many have not displayed the
business acumen they would ordinarily exercise in other business matters
But for the total sum invested IN Nevada mines a far greater sum has
been returned
But the mines do lot constitute all If this states resources The large
cattle and sheep ranches of EIko, Lander, Humboldt and other counties of
central and northern Nevada, are assets not to be overlooked They are
factors that will figure in the future of the state in n % small measure. I-
rgation is transforming the arid lands into verduous pastures and fields
of growing grain. 1t has been demo nstrated that the desert wastes
make the most productive fields o earth when wateed by irrigation, and
lastly, here is no state in the Union where a man a make m honest
living more easily or acquire a fortune more quickly Here the main
chance is ever open to the thrifty and industrious.
Nevada has the call, and all the ealumnics viii not renrd her progress,
she win go forward through good report and evil report to the heritage
that is her own.

AUTOS HAVE PERPETUAL MOTION2

 piles that will go without gasoline oI
 electricity, without noise and practi
 caiiy without expense, will be an ae eomplishment of the near future If
 the apparently weli-founded claim made by ugust c. Rutzen. of Milwau. kee, a machinist and inventor. for his automatic motor prove true. The invention, it is claimed. is the nearest approach to perpetual motion ever achieved, Mir. Rutzen declaring that to all intents and purposes it is practically perpetual motion, though not quite.
 The machine might run months ii might run years, and then again it might be only days said the invent. or. Tt all depends on the durability oI the springs that prOyide the power We have run the model thirty-six hours at stretch and there was nothing to hinder it's continuing if We had felt inclined to keep on wth the experiment"
 The power of the Rutzen spring motor which Mir. Rutzen has just per lected after experiments covering a period or nine years. is not to be coniined to automobiles though per maps there is no other macnlna 10 which it will mean more.
 So simple is the device that a mere child can control it, and so compact IS II that the inventor claims that Wenty-iour-horse power may easily De provided within a box twenty-four inches square. i

SAN FRANCISCO. May 21.-Uniess
 the present intentions of the prcsecu-
 tion are changed an elisor will not
 have part in the selection of a jury
 to try Schmitz on the five charges of eNtorting money from French restau-
 rants. This determination was ex- pressed in ruling by Judge Dunne today when he discharged from ser wee all the talesmen remaining from the late Ruef venires. and gave into the hands of Sheriff O'Neil the sum- moning of a new yenire of fifty re- turnable tomorrow. Whether it is the intention of the prosecution to ask the court to order Schmitz into custody pending trial is not known. Heney stated to the court it is not the pres- enC intention. but it may be done later
 Judge Dunne today denied the mo uon or the defense for a substitution or the trial judge, which motion was supported by affidavits charging Judge Dunne with bias and prejudice against Schmitz. and that Rudolph Spreckles and those associated with nm as financial gnarantors of the Drlbery-graft investigation are carry- Ing out conspiracy to dethrone the present municipal administration. in | order themselves to assume the gov. ernment and secure valuable railway and water franchises.

 Schwartz Bros.-I think that we should have some sort of a guarantee that they would go up the canyon. then we should certainly give them the franchise. think there should be joint meeting of the several Bisbee Organizations and take some action. If it is a good thing for Bis bee let's work for it.
 Carl Behn-The Warren people are going to build street car line into Bisbee; the City Council is satisfied they should build it. The people ut Bisbee must see now that they get line which will benefit all secIoLs Of the city as neariy ag possible, and I think the road ought to go up TomC- stone Canyon, because there are many people living there now, and many more will build there if the fine eoes up that way.

 The Review man continued the task
 yesterday of interviewing citizens on
 me subject of the proposed franchise TOT the Warren Company to operate dh electric railroad. The result of the work is presented herewith. In the opinion of the Review, MT. Hart states the situation just as it exists. and based upon the terms of the franchise. He is right in saving that the City Council has a cinch. and can dictate to the Warren Company by simply complying with the terms of the franchise:
 c. c. Hart-AIl that is necessary~to secure the electric railway is for the forty-foot road to be put through. The city council cinched the electric rail way 50 that they can not get out of II, and surely there ought to be enough enterprise and spirit in the people of Bisbee to put through the highWay. which in itself would be q DE improvement. If the franchise IS voted down it will mean that the Warren company will carry out their original idea and build their line ont side of the city limits to the Copper Queen Store. This will be a fine thing for the Warren Company. and 1 will result in property up Tombstone i canyon depreciating twenty-five per cent. On the other hand, if the road is built and the electric line ran up the canyon every man who has 70 | pay dollar toward the road improve ment wiii have his property enhanced ten dollars for every one he puts in. By all means let's put through the highway, and secure the electric rail- way. 1
 T. Wofford-Why, they tell me that the road up Tombstone canyon has cost the city now s60.G00, and they haven't as much of road as when they started. Sure, We are all with them Tor good roads, and the car nne t1 Will go up. Citizens, get busy. It Is up to the people The Warren people are all right. II
