De Raglan Mystery Has Been Solved.

The three-days' wonder growing out of the discovery that Nicalai De Raylan, for years a clerk to Baron Von Schlippenbach, the Russiad con- sul at Chicago, was woman, dis covery made only after his death in Phoenix, Arizona, was solved by the admission of two women with whom she lived as "husband. The motive of De Raylan's masquerade, which was kept up for fifteen years, is mixed. Part of it dates back to her early affair with a girl in Southern Russia, at the first period of her as- suming "manhood' an6 part explana- tion is found in her connection with revolutionary "bunds" in this coun- try and Russia.
 Mrs. Eugenia Bruchillis, De Ray lan's first wife,. and Mrs. Anna De Raylan, both unbosomed themselves in explaining the mystery. De Ray Ian was a woman of the common class in Southern Russia. The H. year-old boy, reported as being the child of the De Raglan woman, is really as Mrs. Anna De Raylan stated her own child. The boy is the son of Joseph Armstrong, former husband and the register of its birth is in the city hall. Armstrong appeared and claimed the fatherhood of his son. The reported Kidnapping" of the body is fiction.
 The idea of posing as man gradu- ally grew with De Raglan. Trouble with her parents over revolutionary secret drove her from home in Eliza beth-Grand when she was eighteen years old.
 She went to the new town of Kamnyets, and there, as a ''man," won the love of a young girl, Jenya Vassilovitch. Throughout all her life in America as a man this romance clung to her. There was diary which Mrs. Bruchilis revealed, telling all the details of this sad romance. It told how De Raylan lost the love of "Janya referred to as ''my angel girl" through an af- fair with a girl of the Neva quarter in St. Petersburg. During the years of her double life in New York, Chicago and the City of Mexico, let ters constantly went back and forth to Russia to the "angel girl" The girl wrote pitiful letters begging to be brought to this country, saying she would be good and true and at one period De Raglan tried to induce her friend, Francis Bruchilis, to marry her old sweetheart"
 De Raglan fled from Russia to es- cape the importunities of "Janya."
 In the City of Mexico De Raglan was aide to Adolph Devereschnitz, for years acting Russian Charge d'Affaires. After the death of Devereschnitz, it was discovered that The" was a woman. For q short time in that city De Raylan lived as a woman, but on leaving for New York. assumed the role and dress of man. In New York, in order to fur ther her deception she married her first ''wife," ;" and from there the story proceeds to Chicago.

Christmas was probably first cele- brated on the American continent in Arizona and New Mexico by the Spaniards who led the way into the great Southwest. In 1926 it is be- lieved that these early explorers were here to remember the joyous Yuletide. Forty years after the discovery of America by Columbus, Europeans had penetrated into what is now known as Arizona, for the Spaniards had found valley of the Gila, and thought it good. As early as 1925 Don Jose de Vasconcelios crossed the center of Arizona toward the Grand Canyon and the country was subsequently, visited by other Spanish explorers. These early Spaniards have mute witnesses to their occupation Tn the ruins ot houses and Notifications found in Arizona. They set up their peculiar civilization, tempered by concessions to the natives. and brought their priests from Spain. Here the cross was early raised, and the Christmas mass was said in the presence of the
 wondering natives.-ProspectOr.

Production of Copper.

One hundred years ago according to the Copper Handbook, the mines of the globe produced an average of about ten thousand tons of long cop per yearly-less than the present yearly output of either nickel or aluminum-while in 1906 production is at the rate of 5000 long tons per week, and there is much talk of a copper famine-to which color is given by the present price of the metal, which is higher than for twenty-five years past. According to the Copper Handbook, just issued by Horace J. Stevens, Ot Houghton, Michigan, in 1905 there were fifteen individual companies each of which produced more copper than all the mines of the globe combined pro- duced in 1895, and two mines, each of which made as much of the metal last year as all of the mines of the world made during the first five years of the nineteenth century, the two mines in question being the Calumet & Hecla, ot Michigan, and the Ana conda, of Montana.
 Of the fifteen mines of the globe that made twenty-five million or more pounds each of refined copper in 1905, ten are in the United States, while there are one each in Mexico, Spain, Germany and Japan, and one, the American Smelling & Refining Co.,, generally known as the Shelter trust, that draws it's copper ores from numerous small mines in Mex ico, Canada and the United States.
 In 1905 there were 1S3 properties credited with a production of one million or more pounds of fine cop per each. Of the one hundred lead ing producess, one, the shelter trust, drew ores from nearly all of North America, while the others were located as follows: United States, 46; Mexico, Il: Chile, 10: Japan, 6; Canada and Australia. each; Spain Russia and Cape Colony, 3 each: Germany, ?; Tasmania, Norway, Italy, Turkey and Newfoundland, l each. Ninety-four of these loo prop critics made more than 3,O00,000 pounds of fine copper each in 1905.

H. M. Flagler is quoted in the Sunday Globe; ''I went to work first in country store for S5 month and board. Later I made $50, ,OO0 in the grain business in Bellevue, O., doing much business with J. D. Rockefeller as Cleaveland commission merchant. but lost all I had in trying to man. ufacture salt at Saginaw. I returned to the grain business in Cleavland. and relatives backed me for S10O.0O in a partnership with John D. and William Rockefeller and Samuel An drews, who had started two oil refin- cries. We worked night and day, making good oil as cheaply as pos sible and selling it for all we could get. A good many able business men were doubtful of our success, and some whose refneries we bought wanted cash instead of Standard stock. Mir. Rockefeller is charged with inventing the rebate, but it was I, not he, who was in charge of trans portatiOn. I was in great delight at our first rebate, but a year later found others were given like favors. Prest. Thomas Scott of the Penn sylvania. introduced the rebate sys- tenn, and at first made each refiner believe that he alone enjoyed the privilege. Jay Gould was one of the squarest railroad men I ever knew. MT. Rockefeller fully realizes his responsibilities as rich man. Young men have more opportunities now than ever, although competition and the massing of capital make it harder to get into and develop large enterprises. The extravaganza of this age is startling: improvidence stands in the way of the average American. I carried a lunch in my pocket till was a rich man. Money spent only for personal uses is a curse: wealth brings obligations, moral and governmental, and has but one legitimate efunctiOn-employment for the welfare of the nation. He who builds factory or digs mine serves his country

Old Hermit Was Starving in Lonely
 Mining Camp.

After living tor the greater part of five weeks without any food, with the exception of few quail and jaybirds that he shot and consumed raw, his lips green from chewing brush and foliage of different kinds, his raiment in a tattered condition and himself almost a physical and mental wreck, w. w. Bryson was found in his min ing camp, in the Black Canyon dis trict, by w. P. Murphy, and brought to the Prescott hospital by Deputy Sheriff John Merritt, suffering greatly from malnutrition.
 Bryson is over seventy-five years of age, and has been a resident of Yavapai county for the past thirty years, living the greater portion of the time in the immediate vicinity of his present camp, where he was found in such deplorable condition. When found, he informed MT. Mur- phy that he had lived for the past five weeks on few quail and jay birds, and had been without any of the common necessaries of life dur ing the entire time.
 An examination of his cabin showed the absence of any flour, beans or bacon, not even trace of food being left.
 Some years ago Bryson sold the mine near where he was found, re- ceiving a large amount for it. After spending this money, Bryson failed to receive the final payment, and the property reverted to him.

One Illustration of the Folly of the
 Present Jury System.

It took from September IS to No vember 30 to impanel the jury that tried Shea, the president of the Teamsters' union at Chicago. To get the twelve jurymen 6,SOO venire- men were called at an expense of $20,4OO. The judges salary amounted to S2,50O; the stenographer's fees S1 800; the prosecuting attorney drew S1, 300; the hotel bills were S1,SOO; the bailiff's fees S48O, and the un- lucky twelve got Thanksgiving din- ner that cost SIS. The total expense at the day the trial began was S2S,- 49S.
 It is the most expensive jury ever impaneled in any country, and illus trates the absolute folly of our sys- tenn of jury drawing. It takes for granted that any mans prejudices will outweigh his oath, and so puts premium on bad citizenship. It takes for granted that an intelligent man reads the papers and has opinions on public matters is too pig-headed to be just or honest. It gives the advan- tage in citizenship to ignorance and an everyday disregard of our coun- try's well being,
 There should be no reason why any honest, intelligent citizen, who com prehends the value of an oath and loves his country better than his own immediate, selfish interests should not sit as a member of any jury. And all who can claim to be good citizens must fill that description in letter and spirit.

 The Grant county witnesses, who were over at Socorro last week, were badly scared by the earthquakes. There were nine shocks while they were there, and one of them nearly scared the jury out of the court house. The associated press neglect ed to give any account of the shocks.

 An interesting mining camp store case was decided at Socorro last week. George l.. Turner & Son had a store at Santa Rita, and the Santa Rita mining company also had a Stors~ there. Nearly everybody in camp worked for the mining con- pany, and it required it's employees to do all their purchasing at the con- pany store, and if any of them bought anything at the Turner store they were fired. Turner S Son sued the mining company fer damages, because of the violation of the re- straint of trade law, and the jury assessed the damages at S25, ,OOO. Notice of motion for a new trial was given.
 The firemen on the Southern Pacific east of Fl Paso are on a strike, and from all accounts it is a pectiii2=-strike- railroad ruled that men running a switch engine were engineers, and took their date | of seniority from their service there. The firemen claimed they were fire men, and should stand on the fire mems seniority. It is to enforce this that the firemen are striking As the engines are all oil burners, in- stead of coal burners, it is not neces- sary to have man with a strong back to fire, and most any intelligent man, under the eye of the engineer, can do the work, and the road is having no trouble to get such men, and all trains are reported running as nearly on time as it is possible for a Southern Pacific train to run this time of the year. Even with two strikes, that of the fremen and the clerks in the office, to bother, the road seems to be able to do fairly good service to its customers Liberal.
