1t was one Of the miscalculations

Kills Man and Then Punctures His
Photo on the Wall.
When John Lepley. a farmer living
near Union, put bullet through his
head he not only shot himself but also
picture of himself in the room. The
bullet that Lepley fired into his head
went with such terrific force that 1t
passed through from side to SIDE
Not far away on the wall hung a
group picture in which Lepley was
taken with number of other people.
After it had dealt death to Lepley the
bullet took its course with unerring
accuracy straight towards the likeness
on the wall and punctured it squarely.
Lepley had been acting queerly for
some time and it is believed that his
mind was unbalanced. He had wife
and several children.

REASONS GIVEN F0R BOND ISSUE
COMMERCIAL REQUIRES MONEY TO BUILD SHELTER AND COMPLETE DEVELOPMENTS IN PROGRESS NOW.

Tn offering stockholders of the Ari- zona Commercial Copper company $50o,- 900 of per cent convertible bonds at par, President N. l.. Amster says in part in a special letter accompanying the offer:
 This issue has been decided upon only after the most careful deliberation. Af- ter thorough consideration of the re ports on the recent developments of the property, the directors deemed it highly advisable to immediately provide the company with sufficient working capital to complete the developments now in progress and to pay for the erec- tion of smelting plant. It is the opinion of the management that the money received from the bonds will be more than sufficient to pay for all the contemplated developments, pay for the installation of the smelling plant and put the property on dividend. earning basis.
 The company has been engaged for ScNtidl gcaiS III Ndiiyi ph t"' N~ tensive development of its property, and in this development and the build ing of it's railroad, it has expended up wards of $l,0O0,OOO in cash, in a2di- ton to the original purchase price of the property. This development has disclosed large and valuable ore bodies. 8
 Plans and specifications are now be- ing drawn for q plant which will have a capacity of 300 tons per day, and it will be so constructed that with very little additional outlay it can be in creased to 300 tons per day. Later whel the mine developments are further ad' vanced, it may be- increased to 1000 tons per day with no very la-ge ad- ditional cost.
 There should be no difficulty in sup plying 3O0-ton plant for severai years from the ore already developed and with the 600 and 700.foo levels orebod up, the ore supply should be aoubied or trebled. The 9th level should be reached by Septemper l5 and the 7tO. foot level by November l5.

ARGENT COPPER
 IS ESTABLISHED
That Price Now Being Paid for Best Brands of Lake-Can Price
 Be Maintained?

This has been great week for cop per. the metal, says the Boston Finan- eial News. Again we have a l4-cent metal market, which we understand un- officially was established by the sale of l,O0O,OOO pounds by the Calumet & Hecla people.
 The last l4cent copper market lasted from the middle of January to the middle of February of this year. Al that time the whole country showed signs of recovering from the panic, and prices of all raw materials were ad- vanced. But the prices were rushed mp too quickly, manufacturers had no or ders which justified their taking on heavy stocks, and they refused to buy.
 This week s market has a much bet ter foundation. Consumer s orders are coming in. and there are more tangible signs of speedy recovery to normal business conditions
 A copper manufacturer told 2 Bos- ton Financial News representative yes terday that he had been buying heavil" at 1872 cents because he felt justified by actual business conditions. He said that while he was buying in excess of the requirements of actual orders on hand, he felt that this was the time to make up stock orders. Prices of materials were low, money could bc borrowed easily and at low rates, anG most important of all, his laborers eou.d be made to earn their pay.
 The important question now IS; Can the present advance in the metal be maintainedl Added to the genuine Je- mand of the consumers is speculative demand created for the metal in the in- terests of the stocks. If this metal can be resold without disturbing the mar ket, or if the spectators are strong enough to hold up the price till the genuine demand catches up, this l4- cent market will be maintained, and we will move on l5-eent basis. While this advance is bound to come in the immediate future, there is a serious question as to the advisability of ad- vancing prices too rapidly at this stage.

While no one-can seriously doubt that industry will revive sooner or later, says the New York Commercial, this is not tantamount to declaring that stocks must inevitably keep pace with business improvement, for is it not a fact that many issues have already discounted boom times? Amalgamated, for in stance, is paying per cent and is sell ing in the neighborhood of 80, whereas it sold below that figure when it was paying twice as much. Reading, like wise, yields the investor less than 3la per cent, so that here also there has been generous anticipating of a bright. CT future. Wall street believes in talk ing time by the forelock, hence the re- markabe advance of the last six weeks. When business conditions revive to an extent justifying the stock market rise the uninitiated will wonder why Wall street has ceased to indulge in pyro- technics

 PROVED PUzzL|NG
LIQUIDATION WAS MODERATE, BUT NO PREcIPITANcY SHOWN
 IN UNLOADING - SUGGESTION OF INFLUENTIAL LEADERSHIP.

NEW YORK. August l3.-The man ner in which the market acted today proved very puzzling The amount of liquidation induced by the recession of prices proved moderate and there was nothing like preeipitaney in unloading, with which so prolonged an advance as has occurred usually eliminates. Late in the day weakness of the Rock Island group gave suggestion of more infu- ential leadership for bear turn in the market, and the attack on prices became more aggressive with a weak closing at the lowest prices of the day.
 Bonds were irregular.
