Through the night his cry of alarm

The guarded expressions in the note, Nj
Benjamin says, are due TO the troublous
lines, when Hancock might expect to
have his mail seized and did not want to
have his correspondence betray more in
formation than was absolutely necessary.
His position is that this letter proves that
by 9 O'Clock the committee Of safety was
well acquainted with the British plans
and had sent troops TO Concord to b.
ready. Therefore il the patriots were fully
prepared at 3 o'clock, why make the mid
night ride TO carry news which they had
already had for some time?

The music lovers and all others, will soon have the opportunity of lis tening to the youngest violinist ever presented to a Phoenix audience. What is more, this young pradigy is a Phoenician. She will appear in a concert at the Elk's opera house on Friday evening November 13, with four other great artists. These other artists are Mrs. w. N. Tiffany, the beautiful soprano, who will make her farewell appearance in Arizona oil that night; Mrs. Rose E. Harley, a dramatic reader of the highest class; Miss Alice Redewill, also a young musician and already regarded as onv of the leading pianists of the west, and Prof. Karl G. Heinrich, the popular baritone and violinist
 The program will consist of vocal solos and duets, dramatic readings, recitations with descriptive music, facial expressions Chighly artistic), with descriptive music; also violin solos. This concert will mark the opening of the musical season in Phoenix. Moreover, it will not be an amateur performance, as every one mentioned to appear on the program is a recognized artist, who has won an enviable reputation in his or her particular branch of the profession.

KEVLIN ALL RIGHT.

A newspaper correspondent writing from Kelvin, says:
 The mining business in this section is as bright and prosperous looking as ever
 The district appears to be growing daily. After election has passed into oblivion, big things to be done in this locality will assume definite shape. There are numerous large mining companies here such as the Ray Con solidated Copper company. the Kelvin Calumet company, the Sultana- Arizo- na compnay, the Eagle Nj. 6 Copper company, the Arizona Hercules com pany, all having immense valuable properties waiting for the word to go ahead
 The Ray Copper company has at the present time six large drills pros pecting its big property and five more drills are expected daily. Two ot these drills are Keystone and the bal ance are Star drills The Star drills are conceded to bo the best. They drill faster, work smoother and will penetrate the earth to a greater depth. At the present time there are several hundred drill holes, ay- eragtng 400 feet in depth and several holes 500 feet apart Ore has been struck, with few exceptions, in every hole. The ore lies in blankets ana Is thus easy to determine about the amount of ore they have. Everyone knows by this time that the Ray prop erty is one of the largest and most valuable in the country and that 1t will be only a short time before op- erations will be commenced on a huge scale, and then all who have stuck to Kelvin and Ray will be amply repaid.

GERMANY LEADS IN COPPER EXPANSION Has Made More Progress Dur ing Year Than Any
 Other Nation.

BOSTON, Nov. 12.-Germany has made greater strides during this year In the construction of copper and brass working plants than any other nation. Her export trade in copper wire, rolled, spun and cast copper ans brass products also will exceed the tonnage of the previous year. German metal workers are fast driving the British and French workers in cop per and brass goods from a number of channels of trade in Africa, China. and South America.
 Along the new line of railway in Africa, opened by Lord Cromer a few
 months ago, which serves a country with a population of 60,0O0, 900 people. German makers of wire in copper and brass are busting British manufactur- CTS from field where copper and brass wire have been for more than a century an important factor in barter, and the principal material for arm lets and leglets worn by the natives. The German factors in Africa are building up among the natives a lu- cratfye trade in copper and brass or naments, spun, stamped and cast, that Is calling for the consumption of an increasing tonnage of American cop per.
 A former local manufacturer of copper and brass goods in large way, who now has one of the largest copper consuming manufactures in Berlin, writes to copper-producing interest here that Germany also is developing a great deal of new business in cop per and brass goods in Russia, where German factors are getting the cream of the pobbing trade, supplying the middlemen who in turn sell to the hundreds of thousands of peddlers in the Russian Empire the copper cook ing utensils. brass tea urns, without which no Russian house is complete, and copper and brass trinkets, brass candlesticks and picture frames. To build up this line of trade two Berlin houses have doubled their consump- tion of American copper within IS months. They expect to quadruple the volume of their Russian business with in two years
 To strengthen their position with re- gard to getting adequate supplies oI copper when the next congestion- of the American copper comes, nearly all the important copper workers in nortn- ern Germany have increased their holdings of American copper stocks, and seek opportunities to get into some of the new North American mines. Cologne, Frankfort, Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden capitalists own slares in American copper, gold, lead, zinc and iron ore mines to the amount of SIPS, 100000.

SMITH WILL HAVE
 STATEHOOD BILL Says He Will Introduce Meas ure As Soon As Con-
 greSS Meets.

| TUCSON, Nov 11.-"On the first day of the session of congress I will again introduce the single statehood bill for Arizona and every day of the session will urge iis passage. am certain that every democratic mem Der of congress win give the single statehood bill for Arizona their hearty support in this session of congress, as they have in the pas,."
 Thus spoke Mark Smith to a group of democratic friends in the old Pueblo club on Sunday afternoon, when the subject of statehood legis- lation in the next congress was preached.
 While 1t is true that much de bends on the attitude of Joe Cannon, speaker of the house, and those re publicans who constitute the republi- can machine, have hopes of secur- ing the passage of the bill"
 If anybody thinks that the defeat of Mark Smith forI delegate weighs heavily upon his shoulders, they are badly mistaken. Well, Mark, what do you think of the election?" was a salutation which greeted Arizona's popular delegate the other day. What do I think?" echoed Mark, q know they beat us and did a good job of it. and the big Arizona dele gates face lit up with a smile, But this isn't the last election Arizona will have by any means. The boys all did the best they could this time. There is no complaint to make. I was surprised; that's all.'
 Mark Smith left for Phoenix Mon- day morning as the guest of MT. and Mrs W. s. Brophy of Bisbee, in their big touring auto. After visiting the fair during the week. NIT. Smith will return to Tucson and will leave short ly for Washington to be in readiness for the opening session of congress.

(Phoenix Democrat.)

iPhoenix Democrat.)
 With thousands of people, who had some of them waited three hours to see the finish. lining Adams street from Second street west to the city limits. the White steamer, sBlack Bess." driven by Colonel F. c. Fen her. reached Phoenix yesterday even ing at 6:331z o'clock, winning the los Angeles Phoenix auto race fin a cloud of dust.
 Amid the cheers of the big crowd. many of whom for the first time saw their first real auto race. Fenner drove his machine down Adams street and to what auto enthusiasts look upon as the biggest victory evel scored by an auto owner in the south. west.
 At 3 o'clock the people expected the first machine to arrive, and from that on until the White steamer act ually did reach the city. the immense crowd kept growing larger until il was with much difficulty that Mar shal Moore and his large corps or aides kept the street clear.
 After Fenner had won, the crowd still waited for the other three cars to reach the city. and until the last had come tearing into the city and crossed the finish line at Second street but few deserted their view points along the sidewalks of Adams street.
 At S:45is o'clock, Kisselkar, "Tobas- co l. reached the city, with Andy smith driving like mad, and though he had been preceded into Phoenix an hour by the Elmore Bulldog" which finished at TAI o'clock. with Bert Latham driving. Smiths Kissel- kar got second place. The Franklin Greyhound" did not reach the city until 9:50 o'clock
 Each of the machines met with hardships on the trip, the Franklin losing nine hours west of Ehrenber. as the result of being lost on the wrong road on the desert The Kis- selkar broke an axle twice, the FL more knocked hole in it's radiator while crossing the Colorado river, and the White met with its share of draw backs.
 At the Colorado. each car was held up several hours. waiting for daylight to cross the river. The White was delayed by this cause II hours and minutes, the Elmore hours and 56 minutes. the Kisselkar hours and the FraRklin hours.
 In placing the winners, regardless of the manner in which they finished in Phoenix, consideration must be I given to the order in which the cars left Los Angeles Sunday morning. Their time of departure was as fol lows: Midnight, Kisselkar; l a. m., White steamer; a. m.. Elmore; a. -n.. Franklin.
 By finishing ahead of the KisseI- kar, more than one hour ahead of thu Elmore and more than two ahead of tue Franklin, the White steamer won by a safe margin, and in actual run ming time easily beat the others.
 Though the Kisselkar finished over an hour ahead of the Elmore. it left Los Angeles two hours earlier tha.. its rival, and when penalized the hand leap it had, falls back of the Elmore and enters into competition with the Franklin.
 As the Kisselkar let Los Angeles three hours ahead of the Franklin, and finished but a little over two hours before the. Franklin, the latte, car gets third place in the official

NEW MEXICO BOf
 \ GR|D|ROA HERD PiShon, Dartmouth's Famous Quarterback, Was Born
 in Las Vegas.
Albuquerque Journal1

The hundreds of college men in New Mexico who follow college foot ball with interest and who have been reading of the exploits of Sturgis P1shon, the small quarterback of the Dartmouth team, whose work in the Princeton game in New York Satur. day has made him the hero of the football season, will be interested to know that Pishon Is native of New Mexico. He was born in Las Vegas. where his father was we'll known. The elder Pishon was in business in Las Vegas for some time, was a close treiend of A. A. Keen, of Albuuueruue and is well known to the older resi- denes of Las Vegas.
 The Boston Journal of recent date says of Pishon:
 Sturgis Pishon, the diminutfye quar terback who is the sensation of Dart mouth football this season. Is one of the smallest team generals who ever graced gridiron. "Spud," as he is better known to his friends, is 5 fee, , inches in height, and weights 12, pounds, but during his five years o, football has always managed to es- SeNPC AAJu ss dllnOuSn generally IOunQ in the thick of battle.
 Pishon first came into prominence while at English Hign, where his re- markable playing at quarter earned him a place on the aIlinterschoIasti team of Greater Boston. As forme. English High star once said: "Pishon would get more work out of an Eng fish High team than any quarter the eleven ever had."/ It is this abil ty to drive his teammates that gained him the recognition of Coach Jack Connor, of Dartmouth, in his searcn through the college for a fast quarter, and the youngster will get his first real test Saturday, when he directs the Green in it's game with Amherst. If he shows the goods, he may be seen at the Stadium in two weeks. where his lodging ability and clever hand ling of punts in the back field is sure to gain the admiration of the spec tators.
