THE HIGH WATER MARK
Copper goes Sailing and Higher Prices
Predicted.

Copper yesterday on the New York
exchange quotations reached the high
est figure in the history of the red
metal-25A cents.
Various reasons were given for the
Increased price obtainable, but in the
main it was held that the laying off
OF 1000 men at Butte, Which would
mean the restricting Of the output of
the great Montana mines, had much
to do with it, as we'll as the recent
discharge of 1000 men at Bisbee. On
the other hand, it was contended that
the rise in copper began months be-
fore there was the slightest sugges-
ton of labor troubles in Montana.
1t is the general opinion that the
demand for copper has gone far be-
yond the supply and that the price
will reach so cents before the end of
the year.

SOMETHING WRONG
inGians Making Their Drunkness a
Profitable Undertaking..

There is evidently something radio
ally wrong with the action of law in
dealing in whiskey to Indians. or
regulating the punishment of those
more plainly speaking in dealing with
the Indians who drink the liquor.
Twice year the U. S. district court
in this city puts in a week or more
sentencing men to terms in the peni-
tentiary for the petty offense of sell
ing whiskey to the Indians. This
present term there is thirty or more
cases on hand, and the men, or most
OF them are now under sentence for
this crime.
Another striking feature concerning
the cases is the fact that the same In
dian witnesses come to this city every
term Of court and swear away the lib
erty Of the white men. There is never
any punishment meted out to the In
ANS who get drunk.
With every cOnvening Of the court
this city is filled with the Indian
witnesses. They loaf around, draw
their money, drink more liquor and
make a gambling carnival of the
affair, In fact many of the witnesses
are now in the business OF enticing
white men into the snare Of Uncle
Sam and twice q year they come 20
this town TO go on the witness stand
and prove a case against some man,
whose morals are worse than The In
dians.
There should be some state or county
law TO remedy this state OF affairs
1t seems that the white man bears The
burden of the crime and the Indian
escapes with a fee for his drunkenness.
II i is not too late the state legisla-
ture should remedy this in a measure.
The remedy was pointed out TWO
years ago, but there was no attention
given it. Let the Indian suffer pun
ishment for inJoxication. Every In
dian who becomes drunk should be
given al least thirty days on the
chain gang. Hitch hundred pound
ball onto him, set him to work on the
street. and there will be a heap less
irunkness and fewer cases TO come
before the [. s. Court.

SPAIN is ANXIOUS.

Court circles of Spain are agitated
because it is hinted that the Queen

clares that the first born of twins is
the older and therefore has the right

older law, which declares that the old
er child in the case of twins is the

One of the most enjoyable evenings
spent by the people of this city in

RAILROAD BUILDING BOOM
Nevada Will Soon be Laced With
New Tracks

! The talk about the cessation Of rail-
road building and development be-
cause of the Boyd rate bill is the
merest boldadasn.
1t will make a great state of Ne
vada and stimplate railroad building.
New lines will come in and fight

will simply lose business which will
