CONNECTICUT SHAD BOTHER COMMISSIONERS A Poor Season Likely to Be Followed By Poorer
 Seasons. NO MATCHING EGGS. State Fails Miserable Last Year in Raising
 Fry.
NO MATCHING EGGS.

Hartford, June 1.-The shad situa- tion is causing the fish commissioners no little uneasiness, for not only is this season poor, but future seasons are likely to be poorer, as each de- bends on the success of its predecessor of five years before. The decrease in the run of shad in the Connecticut river in the last few years can be rightfully attributed, the commission CTS say, to the direct results of the de- crease in the number of shad fry available for planting.
 In 1906 about 100000 fry were let loose, all the state could raise. At this time last year the greater part of the eggs to produce those fry had been taken, but this year almost nothing has been accomplished. The commis sioners can't get many shad and out of those few there are only very few whose eggs are in condition for use. Between high water, muddy water cold weather and a general scarcity of shad anyway, the propagation industry is very much up aginst it. It is the poorest yet.
 In 1898, when shad could be got from the government, almost 10,000,O00 were released, and at the regulation period of five years later, 1903, there was a record catch. Since then the number q jet al Ioe fa 1ff on1 baS e the catch. Last year but about 2OOO,- | 900 were released and this year unless things change, the number will be very small At the first hauling, which was made last Friday, fifty shad were caught, but of these only two were in condition for use. The cold water had hindered the development of the eggs. The commissioners have leased the Mud Seine fishery on the Pennington river and have allowed no fishing at | it, although the season opened long ago, or there would have been less fish caught than were gathered in. On Saturday night few more eggs were secured, but since then the water has been too high and too cold. The tem- | p6IdLuIG at IuG uOtllll5 lhlCHcly dl Windsor on Wednesday was 50 de- | grees.
 The number that should be put in every year, Commissioner Mathewson said yesterday, should be from S,OOO0OO 1 to 10.0OO.OO0. He attributed part of the falling off in the number of fish to the thoroughness with which they were being caught out of the river In the Pennington there are sixty gill nets he said. The shad get no show at all. They are caught out also in Hamburg Cove, Salmon river and the Scantic river. The commissioners wanted fishing in al these tributaries stopped. This would give the fish a chance to propagate naturally, but the commissioners bill only got them ex- ceedingly disliked among the fisher men, A substitute reported cuts the open season down to the period from | May 10 to June 20. This will give some of the fish that run up early a chance to spawn and get away without being caught.

Statement Showing Assessed Valuation
Tax Levy and Cash in Treasury for
the Years 1898 to 1907.

The following is d statement tur'
nished the ERA by Ben r. Clark
treasurer of Graham county, cover
ing period of ten years. The re-
port shows what the county has
done in the way of advancement.
On May 10, 1898, the amount of cash
on hand was 1888 40 and for the
same date this year the amount of
cash on hand is 800, 1919. For the
years 1898 to 1903 the tax rate was
s4.O0 per 800 valuation and in 1904
the tax was reduced to So 80. In 1905
making 1915. and in 1906 it was re-
duced to $3.50. For the present year,
1907, the assessed valuation will be
greatly increased over the year 1906,
and there is sufficient reason to be-
lieve that greater reduction will be
made in the tax rate. This has been
brought about by the good work of
the assessor. Assessments have
been increased to some extent, max
ing much better showing for the
county. As a result the small tax
payers haye been greatly benefited
by the increase and as whole the
larger ones have suffered no great
inconvenience. During the next few
years Graham county will witness
even greater increase as the min
ing districts are becoming more de-
veloped.

METCALF BABIES.
Five Sets of Twins in Six Weeks is
Not Bad,

If you don't know that the stork,
on his late visits to Metcalf, has been
overworking himself, just wait until
[ get through telling you about it.
First Senor Chon Arrollo, the worthy
tailor, was compelled to neglect his
goose to assist at the reception of a
couple of young LADY visitors to whom
his spouse introduced him after the
visit of the stork; while Sonora An
chondo, not to be outdone, stiffened
the backbone of her husband bv pre-
s-nting him with a pair of bouncing
boys. This was followed by Sonora
Luis Acebeda presenting her lord and
master with a. pair of queens, dittoed
by Sonora Pedro Sira with a dainty
pair of little ladies, and the latest
gifts from the busy bird are pair of
girls at the home of Senor Guada-
lupe Aldaco. 1t Is now said that no
self-respecting lady of Metcalf would
think of stopping short of a pair.
If this record can be made by
Senor Anchondo, who is one-legged
man, Sira, who is crippled with a
stiff, crooked leg, Acebeda, who is
just scrap of a man anyhow, and a
bench legged tailor, when the work of
see-what-a-ine-hus -wife-has
able-bodied men begin to show up,
what will the harvest be?
By general concensus of opinion
from President Roosevelt down to
Judge Shirley, who is an admitted
on the subject, it is urged
that this is an "infant Industry
worthy and deserving of encourage
ment; and the COPPER ERA is author |
lied to offer a premium of $40 cash |
and d three-story cradle to any set

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

Confidence in the copper situation
seems to have been restored. Lake
copper is still held by producers al
PSI to 26 cents, and electrolytic al
25! cents per pound. A great many
consuming interests are making in.
quiries and preparing to buy their
July supply of copper. 1t is reported
that some considerable sales of lake
have been made at 26 cents, and cleo
trolytic at 254 cents this week, but
confirmation is so far lacking. There
are some moderate lots of cash cop
/ per in the hands of small producers,
and they report that they are re-
ceiving no bids. This reflects the
| absolute stagnation which prevails.
As soon as one or two of the large
consumers make contracts, hSHeEer,
a great deal of businessSwilI be done.
There is now no prospect that the
price of copper will be reduced.
Should consumers decide not to pur-
chase for any farther advance de-
livery than July, producers will still
not be offered down until there is an
actual surplus of metal in existence,
and there is no prospect that a real
surplus will accumulate for several
months to come.
While it is quite probable that the
price of copper will settle down to a
somewhat lower level toward the end
of this year or the first of next, there
is no possibility that copper will de-
cline in a decade to the low prices of
a few years ago. Electrical develop
ment will be too rapid and too ex-
tended to permit copper surplus to
accumulate.
Twenty years ago an amount equal
to % to 40 per cent. of the current
annual copper production was al
ways piled up in smelter yards and
storehouses, in transit and in specu-
lative hands. At present it is esti-
mated that not more than per cent
of years output of refined, ready
to-use copper exists outside of con-
sumers bins. In 1901, when copper
declined to 10l cents, there was a
total surplus of over 100000, 900
pounds, or nearly half years
worlds output. Notwithstanding
this surplus and the subsequent tre-
mendous increase in production, all
the available copper has been alb
sorbed and the price has advanced to
26 cents. Of course, a direct re-
versal of these conditions is utterly |
mpossible.-Boston Commercial.

Some time ago the residents of the
Artesian Belt began work on the
matter of securing rural free de-
livery for that region. They have
now secured the signature of almost
every citizen of the district to a
petition asking that a free delivery
be installed from Stafford. 1t is be-
lieved there is ample population to
justify such service and that all
other conditions are fayorable
Nothing should therefore stand in
the way of the route being establish
ed. The petition will now be for
warded to ngton.-Guardian

The Liberal recently mentioned
that Stanford Robinson, who has had
charge of the affairs of the Steeple
Rock Development company for some
time, intended to leave, on account
of his health. The Liberal has been
shown letter received by Mr.. Rob
inson from the company, which ex-
presses in the strongest terms its ap-
probation for his past services, and
regrets that the serious condition of
his health compels what it hopes will
be but a temporary severance of
their relations. The letter, which is
very complimentary in its terms, SAYS
that if the company should open up
its property in the future it would
offer him managing position, either
in the United States or Europe. Not
the least satisfactory part, to Mr.
Robinson, of the letter, was the an
nouncement that he would receive a
substantial present in the shape of
several months advance pay. The
Liberal regrets that Mr.. Robinson's
health compels him to leave. He
has been prominent in this section of
the county for several years. He is
the kind of citizen the county
needs, being a good republican, of
which there are not enough in this
county. He has been nominated for
superintendent of schools, and last
fall was candidate on the republi-
can ticket for a member OF the con-
stitutional convention that never
met. He has been justice of the
peace without opposition for several
years, and postmaster at Steeple |
Rock since he first went there. The |
L beral as well as Mr.. Robinson's |
many friends, hope that after re-
ceiving proper surgical attention, he
will be able to return to this section |
of the country.-Liberal.

H. c. E. Spence has taken lease
on the Ldura mine at Steeple Rock,
from the owner, Max Wasserman, of
Paris, ard has entered into some ar
rangement with the Steeple Rock
Development company whereby.
while he Is carrying on the operations
on Laura, he undertakes the charge
of the company'ss property, in place
of Sanford Robinson, who leaves for
Los Angeles to undergo a surgical
operation, and will not return for the
present. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Spence will be able to demonstrate
the value of the mining property in
the Steeple Rock district, matter
which has been in dispute for several
years, SO that the company may be
induced to once more put this former
ly valuable property on a producing
basis. If he can do this, and we un-
derstand he strongly believes in the
possibilities of the district, he will
do much for this part of Grant coun-
ty. 1t is also understood that Mr..
Spence intends to open the Pennsyl-
vania mine, on which it's Silver City
owners have been doing assessment
work for many years, but have never
been able to work regularly. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Spence will be able
to open up the camp Liberal.
