The advance statement of the u. s.
Geological Survey has been issued.
showing the production of copper in
the United States for the year 1907.
Ii is explained that a more compre-
hensiye report IS in preparation to be
issued later, this being given to sup
ply the demand for official figures at
the earliest possible moment. There
has been no attempt to furnish here
the figures on the secondary supply en-
tering the trade during the year, such
as scrap, dresses, etc, and these fig
ures are merely returns from every
smelter and refinery in the country
save one, though which one is not an
nounced The figures are not ex-
pected to correspond accurately with
mine production though the variance
should not be great This report MAJ
be obtained by addressing the direc-
tor of the o. S. Geological Survey.
Only few facts taken from it will be
given here.
The production of copper in the
United States in 1907 was S6S,996, 491
pounds From the record figures of
1906 this is a decrease of 4S,S09, l9l
pounds. or Sc per cent, the largest ae-
tual decrease ever recorded and the
largest relative decrease since the
American copper industry became inn
portant. This is the first time since
1901 that the annual production has
been smaller than that of the pre-
ceding year and the first time since

next few days to arrange for the start

Creek district on a smelter, that when
completed viii be large enough to
handle the output of twenty promis-
ing mining properties in Maricopa
county.
Campbell is president of the Rogers
Springs Mining company in the Cave
Creek district, and on several visits
here has been convinced that all the
district needs is to send it forward is
the assurance that the ores mined can
be smelted.
To keep pace with the development
of the mines in Maricopa county, the
smelter will be built in units Of 100
tons, additions being made as fast as
prospects become producers. The ini'
tial capacity OF the plant will be Jog
tons capacity as needed.
Claim owners in the Cave Greek
section have long complained that the
development of the district has beer
retarded because of the lack of smelt
ing plant within reasonable distance
Many of the mines there would pay
for their own development it it were
possible TO have the ore taken out In
sinking shafts and running tunnels
smelted on the ground.
Douglas and FL Paso are now tbs
nearest points for smelling. To hau
the ore by wagon thirty miles to Phoe
nix and then ship 1t over the railroad
means an expense that it would take
fabulously rich mine to stand.

the assault was so sudden and IL was

as they bound Martz, who could offer
but a very feeble resistance, being a
very old man. started into rummage
the camp. While the robbers were
busy Martz managed to work ais
hands loose and then removed the
blindfold and ropes around his feet
and started out for help: the robbers
discovered his flight and started to
pursue him, Martz being barefooted
did not make much Roadway and after
running into a lot of cactus, etc,

A BAD DAY
FOR STOCKS
IN GENERAL
During the Last Few Hours of
Trading There Was Disas-
trous Liquidation Which Had
Appearance of Small Panic.
(By Frank ]. Graft

This was a disastrous day for stocks
in general The market was inclined
to show a little strength during the
day but in the last few hours there
was liquidation and it looked as if
a small panic had hit in. The New
York market railroads were principal
sufferers and declines from two to
four points was not uncommon. Nat
urally the eoppers followed and all
the active stocks declined sharply.
Amalgamated. North Butte. Copper
Range saw lower prices than they
have for some time. The entire list
Of the Bostons closed weak and We
would not be surprised to see further
liquidation at the opening tomorrow.
Curbs, however, were not affected a
great deal but the market is very mar
row and trading is difficult. Superior

RUSSIAN PLAY HAS
 WON PARIS PRAISE

Paris, June GA Russian historical musc-drama forms a refreshing varla- ton from the old standard works at the Paris opera house, and shows how Rus sian operatic methods differ from the conventional style of western Europe. Boris Godunoff, by Mussgorsky,s Is played by a splendidly efficient company from St. Petersburg and Moscow, who not only sing but act superbly.
 Founded on the narrative of Pushkin, the play deals with a romantic incident in Russian history, in the reign of the usurpng Czar Boris in the sixteenth century. Before ascending the throne Boris has instigated the murder of Dmi- tri, second son of Ivan the Terrible.
 It occurs to Grigori Otrepieff, an ambi- tious acolyte at Moscow monastery to impersonate the murdered Dmitri, and so work on the conscience of Boris, who at his coronation is already feeling the first bangs of remorse.
 The false Dmitri Is betrothed to Marina, daughter of the Voyvode M'Nichek. The pretender has formed a strong revolu tionary party among the Polish nobility. But he begins to show indifference as to the success of his plot, and is spurred to action by the taunts of his betrothed.
 When news of the revolt is brought to Boris by his friend and accomplice, Gnu isky the Czar is seized with terrible fit of rage, panic and superstition, which results in an illness. While councillors in the Granite hall of the Kremlin are deliberating on the fitting punishment for the pretender, Boris appears, haggard and wild, and still haunted by the fear that Dmitri is still alive.
 An ancient priest, Father Pimen, comes with the news that Dmitri is really dead, and that miracles are already being per formed over his tomb. The news sends Boris into another fit, and the curtain falls on a touching final scene between the young Czarevitch Feodor and his father, who thinks his end is near.

Insomnia and
 Nervousness
Charles H. James The Eminent Scientist
 Makes a Wonderful Discovery.
IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

Charles B. James, the eminent scien- tist, whose reputation is intefhallohal, has made a wonderful discovery. " orus cannot describe the happiness It Wui bring to those unfortunates who dur- ing the night toss, twist ana turn IT their beds, and have restless, sIeepless nights, for insomnia is sapplns lhem or their vitality and wrecking their nery- ous system. for even if they doze off 1t is only for a short period of restless sleep and then they arise Tn the morn ing more worn than when they retired, until at last the bed seems to them a hideous place of torture
 This scientific discovery costs you nothing, and it changes restless night into restful health giving slumber. Through scientific researches, James has perfected harmless compound of celery, hops and lettuce which brings about the desired results, for they are scientifically blended-no narcotics therefore create no habit, and are ab- solutely harmless. The after effects, instead of being harmful, are bene- fcial to the entire systemi for it pro duces energy, vigor and force. While 1t calms, it also tones the nervous sys- tenn, and it is surprising how quickly 1t produces restful, soothing, refresh ing slumber.
 James, in his generosity and wish to place this wonderful compound of his in the hands of all suffering from in somnia and nervousness, will immedi ately, upon your request, send you bottle absolutely free. James stands at the head of the James Sanatorium of Memphis, Tenn, the gretest Sana- torium of it's kind in the world, and his reputation for the curing of the Drug and Drink habit is second to none. He thinks so highly of this particular dis covery of his that he has given it his own name, calling 1t James Mixture for Nervousness and Ins0mnia," and those who know the high standing of Charles B. James, and the pride he takes in his scientific discoveries know that any remedy that he stands spon- BOT for, and permits to bear his name, must be all it claims.
 In his Sanatorium, James discovered that thousands of cases of drunkenness and inc drug habit owed their origin to insomnia, and also confirmed the well known theory that nervousness causes sleeplessness, indigestion, constipation, headaches, stomach troubles, and loss Of appetite. He hopes, through this com pound. to keep thousands from the drug and drink habit, who otherwise would become addicts besides effectively dis many who otherwise would not only have a wrecked constitution, but a shattered mind as well.
 You need not suffer another day-no further need to be nervous, and no cause to have nights of terrible torture, and days of nervousness and what is termed as the "blues." For relief is in sight. All that is necessary Is to send your name and address in confidence to Charles B. James, James Sanatorium, 102 Poplar avenue, Memphis, Tenn and you will receive, with out cost or delay, this wonderful compound.

 But there's where it is," continues the Supper Man; "to home-cooking Why cont you go homer" he asks, addressing a group of women who have foregatherad az one company.
 Why don't you?" asks one of them. sharply.
 And so it continues until the speakers finish.
 There are many fake paintings in ex- istence, but probably not as many as the newspaper stories in regard to New Vork's recent art scandal would lead one to believe. The scandal was started by the suit of a collector against a dealer who had represented his paintings to be what they were not. Following this the discussion as to the genuneness of two Gilbert Stuart portraits in the possession If the Metropolitan Museum of Art was renewed. The authorities at the museum have always admitted that they were not sure that Stuart painted the portraits.
 There will be fake pictures as long people who know nothing about art go out seeking art. The experience of a well-known dealer of thls city is proof of this assertion. He said:
 There was gentleman in a city be- tween here and New Orleans-the city has affiliations with O1l-a gentleman who has since died and left a hundred millions or so behind him. 1 went to see his collec- ton. He showed me proudly a certain picture He told me 1t was by-I shall say Smith.
 "'Whats it worth?' says he
 "A picture like that by Smith is worth s25 ,OO0'
 "I paid ss5OO for it.
 However did you manage it?'
 Oh, the man who had it was hard pressed for money. He set the price of sacrifice at 5000. I offered $350O, and he to ok it.
 "Of course" added the dealer, "the pie ture was not by Smith. It was not worth s2G0."
 Very like was the case of certain col lector. This collector bought miniature a. auction from a well-known auctioneer. t was said in the catalogue to be the work of an American miniaturist of ex- ceIlent reputation some years dead. The collector showed his treasure to another collector, who was wiser in such matters
 You say this is by Blank ?'
 Yes
 And it's painted on ivory?'
 ''Yes. I can show you the description in the catalogue
 Would you mind my opening the oack?"
 Not at all.'
 He opened the thing. It was not painted on ivory. It was painted on paper, and the style of the paper proved that u must have been executed since the famous min iaturist's death.
