express on the New York Central railroad
was quoted today as saying that he be-
lieved he carried Horace Marvin the miss

night last. Conductor Holes was quoted a
saying that as he was standing at the gate

three little boys to the gate and asked Mr.

the youngest about three and or.e-half
years, Mr.. HOLES said. On the way to Buff
falo, Mr.. HOLES was quoted as saying the
two older children ignored the youngest,
who was constantly crying. The loneliness
of the little chap aroused the conductors
sympathy and he asked the older boys if
the other was their brother. They replied
that he was.
At Buffalo, according 70 Mr. Holes the
three boys were met ~ two women one of
whom took the two older boys, while the
other took the youngest child in her GUS
tody. After raturnin~ to this city Mr. HOLES

"I am going back to New York to see what the speculators are trying to do with copper,' said Prof. George A. Treadwcll to n Journal Miner man, as he stepped on the afternoon north bound train, yesterday.
 "I am of the opinion that the big concerns will try to place large con. tracts while the price Is down to Ii cents. but do not believe tac pro. ducers will let go st that pirce.

 When asked if he thought that the slump in copper would prove very det- rimcnial to the mining interests of this Territory. he said "Arizona will po, suffer as muca as other copper pro- ducing states by the slump in prices, for the reason that n great many of the copper mines are also gold producers. i This makes tine Arizona copper pro ducor much more independent than the others and also causes worry to the combinations thu, are trying to force inc price of copper down.

SURPLUS or COPPER SAYS DR

'rrom Wednesdays Dailyp

There 's q surplus of copper in ih.s country. at th" present time. variously estimated at from a00,O00,OO to 25O. ooo,00o pounds.
 The only effective emsdy for tlis 'ongostcd condition is the curisilment of production, step that has already been taken by the companies at Butte Mont, Blsbe., Ariz., and by few producers elsewhere.
 '" Already the accumulation of con. per has been checked and consumption 's now probably slightly In excess Q, production.
 How long time win be required 'o use up the surplus stocks of coppe, m this country, accumulated since las, spring, is problematical, but l should say, taking into consideration the goo, crops raised and the sound busines, conditions prevailing in the Unite, states. that the accumulation of con per above he stocks ordinarily car red should disappear by midwinter and recovery in prices of the meta follow early in 1908.
 "A readjustmept of wages is to b expected in the copper camps and i, all probability the initiative win h, taken by the companies at Butte, i, conformity with the agreement mad by the Amalgamated Copper co,npsn, and its employees, when the prcsen wage scale was established.
