THE Globe SILVER Belt, on Thursday
of last week passed under the man
agement of the Silver Belt Publish
ing company, composed of "A. Cohn,
H. c.. Holdsworth and II. H. Hiener.
The Belt, under the management of
Joe Hamill for many years, has al
ways been recognized as one OF the
leading newspapers of Arizona. Mr..
Hamill retires from the business with
an excellent reputation as a news
paper man and under his jurisdiction
the Belt has always devoted its space
to the upbuilding of Globe and the
betterment of ella county. The new
proprietors have been connected
with the paper for some time and as
they are all well known to the Globe
people and also thoroughly acquainted
with the newspaper, the good repu-
tation of the Belt will be maintain
ed. The new management has an
nounced to the public that 1t will
continue in the same channels as in
the past. The ERA wishes the new
proprietors much success, but hates
to see Brother Joe drop out of the
newspaper business.

Death of GEORGE Hardy.

George Hardy, well known in Cliff
ton, and whose acquaintance extends
all over the territory, crossed the di-
vide last Friday morning, after an
extended illness. Deceased was fifty
four years of age and had many old
time friends in Clifton who attended
him during his illness and did every
thing in their power to comfort him
in his suffering. His death was not a
surprise, however, as he had been a
sufferer from asthma for years. About
two months ago he was attacked with
dropsy and his condition gradually
grew worse, finally resulting in death.
He was a member of the Tombstone
Tribe of Red Men, at which place he
resided some time before moving to
Clifton. Mr.. Hardy has been a resi-
dent of the Clifton district at various
times during the past ten years, and
usually followed the saloon business.
The funeral occurred from PasCoe's
undertaking parlors Friday afternoon
and was attended by number of his
friends and acquaintance.

THE present outlook for Clifton in
a financial way does not appear to be
generally encouraging, although
there is no cause for alarm, as a con-
siderable amount of cash is in circu-
lation, which, with the clearing
house certificate system, makes it
possible to do business without any
great Inconvenience. The novelty
of the clearing house certificates has
worn off, as the people have become
acquainted with them. The two
local banks report increases in de-
posits, which is pretty good evidence
that the people generally have ut
most confidence in them. Money is now
loosening up in the east and various
shipments are being made to outside
banks, which would indicate that the
situation is improving. There seems
to be much speculation as to the
manner in which the big companies
will pay off this month, and it is
probable that the men will be paid
off in cash, provided, of course, the
companies can secure the cash. The
Shannon and A. G. companies are re-
ported to have each received d little
cash, which will do some good. From
present indications, it would seem
that the clearing house certificate
plan will be abandoned by December
LIST. Should this be fact the holiday
trade at the business houses will not
be effected to any considerable ex-
tent. During the first few days of
the excitement business in all chan
nels came to a standstill, but since
then there has been no great COM
plant. Collections generally have
been good, which is pretty good evil
dence that Clifton will come out on
top. Such instances as the present
one will only demonstrate to the
''knocker' that in reality Clifton is
not so "dead" as they would like to
see it. Neither is it on the down
ward grade. Temporary reverses
are the crown of life, happiness and
prosperity. Clifton Will prosper in
spite of all of them.

OLD DOMINION COMPANY.
Plant and Supplies Actually Represent
$I4 Per SNare.

In common with all the Phelps
Dodge properties, the Old Dominion
company is restricting production,
but this restriction is largely in Gus
tom ores.
1t is now operating three of its five
furnaces and producing at the rate
of 100000 to 100000 pounds per
month, but this production is obtained
from Old Dominion ores that average
10 per cent. copper. 1t is claimed
that this output is obtained at j cost
of not above u cents per pound.
The September production was in
the neighborhood of 3,75O,OOO pounds,
a record figure. Old Dominion ores
treated last month averaged IL per
cent. copper, and the restriction or
ders were not put in force until the
latter part of the month.
OF the average monthly production
of the Old Dominion of about $780,
900 pounds, less than 100000 pounds
has been from its own ores, the bal
ance being custom ore, including the
production of the United Globe
mines.
The Old Dominion surface plant,
admittedly the finest in Arizona,
represents a cost of about So, 00O,000
three-quarters of which has been
paid for out of the mine. This repre-
sents a value of SO per share for the
stock. In addition, the company has
81 ,2OO,O of supplies on hand in coke,
lumber, fuel, etc, and this represents
an expenditure equal to 81 a share.
Deducting the above total of Sl4 a
share from the present selling price
of 1913 per share would leave but 81.

A Grand Sale at Duncan.

Frank Billingsley, the pioneer mer-
chant of Duncan, has made arrange
ments with the Elliott Bros. Salvage
company, whereby the people of
Duncan and vicinity will be offered
the greatest list of bargains ever
presented in Arizona. Every article,
from farming implements to a pair
of hose, including groceries, will be
marked down at this great sale, re-
gardlesss of cost. More room is
needed and Mr.. Billingsley will
sacrifice his entire stock to obtain
this result. The store will be closed
Saturday night, November 10th, in
order to make preparations for the
sale and at o'clock on November
goth, the great safe will commence,
| lasting for fifteen days. This will be
an excellent opportunity for the
farmers and cattlemen of Graham
county and a portion of New Mexico
to buy a supply of provisions and
clothing at prices never before
heard of in Arizona. Elliott Bros.

Quoting special sales all over the

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

The following is copy of Walkers
latest copper letter published in the
Boston Commercial of last Saturday.
Since the publication of the letter,
however, the price of copper has de-
creased about one cent per pound.
Mr.. Walkers opinion on copper and
copper stocks are recognized gener-
ally throughout the United States as
being reasonably correct:
Copper is less active, but the mar
ket continues firm. Lake is Ia to Is
cents per pound, and electrolytic is
IA to la cents. A large amount of
lake copper has been sold at Is cents;
L know of 100000 pounds in one lot.
Electrolytic has sold as high as 14.93
cents, and possibly higher. At the
present moment domestic consumers
are keeping in very close touch with
the market, and producing interests
feel very confident that things have
turned for the better permanently.
One leading producer says he thinks
consumers are ready to purchase
more copper now than can be sup
piled from stocks in hand He ex-
poets to get 16 cents for the next lot
he sells, and believes copper will go
back to 20 cents per pound. All of
the producers seen this week report
that the market has firm tone.
In view of the continued curtail-
ment of production in Butte and
other points, the price of copper is
practically sure to be maintained at
its present level, at least, through
out the remainder of the year. AS
soon as the stress of the monetary
situation is relieved there will be a
decided increase in the consumption
of copper, and it would seem that
the combined production of all the
mines, operating to their full
capacity, will easily be consumed on
a lucent market.
Coppers have continued to lead the
stock market in the recovery from
the low prices made during the
panic. Unfortunately Amalgamated
is laggard, the natural result of it's
heavy curtailment of operations, and
its weakness has prevented an even
more rapid advance in the copper
stocks. The money situation is bet
ter in Boston than it is in New York,
and there are no pools in copper
stocks to be sold out and no large
amounts of coppers in banks as col
lateral.
The coppers are cheaper than the
railroad stocks, for the reason that
the copper mining companies are
lenders of money rather than Dor
rowers. Their managers are not
looking forward anxiously to easier
financial conditions in order that
they may borrow money to pay for
new equipment and extensions. Cop
per mining companies usually pay for
these things out of earnings. AT
present prices there is an average
profit of about 5 cents per pound, OF
80 per cent. over Gust, on the worlds
copper, and if this profit can be
maintained the copper producing
companies will not suffer more thar
they have already from the current
financial stringency.
1 believe that the best of the cop
pers should be bought every time
they decline. Before there is another
considerable decline, prices should &C
from to Is points higher.

DEFENSE OF THAWs SANITY
His Lawyers, Doctors and Himself

New York, March 25.-The attorneys
for Harry *. Thaw have filed answer
to the suggestion made by District At
torney Jerome to Justice Fitzgerald
that Thaw Is mentally incapable of I'M
Outstanding the nature Of the proceed
ings against him. and is a subject for
4 commission in lunacy rather than for
a jury, which holds only the power of
liberty or death.
Supplementing their own unanimous
opinion that Thaw does understand the
nature OF the proceedings against him
and daily advises intelngently, with his
counsel, the lawyers have filed affida-
Wits from the medical experts en-
ployed by the defense and a further
affidavit by Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother of the defendant, who takes
advantage of the opportunity to deny
that there has been any insanity or
epilepsy in the Thaw family for four
generations, including the generation
of the defendant. Numerous letters
frcm Thaw to his counsel are present
ed to prove his mental status.
incidentally the letters set at rest
the question as to who Is the counsel
in charge of his case, and make 1t clear
that Delmas holds that position.

past two months, suffering from COM
plication of ailments and extreme old
age, but his death was due immediate
~ to Inflammation Of the lungs, con-
dacted a fortnight ago.
He retained all his mental faculties
until half an hour before his death,
and died In his faith as a man VINO
did not believe in anything new In the
science of government. He opposed
any change in the Russian govern
ment; believed in the divine right Of
the czar and opposed the education Of
the peasants and every measure for an
extension of their liberties. He had
been described as the most hated man
in Russian, being especially hated by
the reyolutionists, who tried five times
to assagsinate him, but he came out
unscathed each time.

An American physician now comes
forward with the astounding informa-
ton, that the soul has a given weight,
ranging from one to one and one-half
ounces and may be weighed on the
scales the same as any material or
merchandise. No sooner had this an
nouncement found its way into print
than the famous French astronomer
and physicist took up the discussion,
substantiating in part the doctors dis
covery and further adds that 'souls
may have influence on souls" In
other words; the soul may have inf1u-
ence on another soul at great distance,
in such a manner as to actually direct
the receiving souls movements. This
is classified as a psychic message
The above Is splendid food for

my senses only when slumber partial

should I support any such theories,
much less advocate them?
To support, believe in or follow the
