.BISBEE MINER
 REPLIES ID INSULT
Goes To TroBble of Writing Letter to Phoenix Paper
 .Refuting Statement.

A miner of Bisbee, giving his name as Walter Howell, has written com munication to the Arizona Republican at Phoenix asking that paper to re flute the statements made 10 a Phoe- nix paper several weeks ago by windy bill" Cleary. attorney for the defuncf Western Federation aggrega- tion of Bisbee. Mir. Howell has made the mistake of taking the insults of this socialist attorney seriously. He is the one big exception so Tar as we know. Mir. Howell writes as follows.
 Bisbee, Ariz., Dec. 25, To the Editor of The Republican,:
 l picked up the Bisbee Review the other day and read a long article copied from 8 Phoenix paper about the deplorabie conditions obtaining in Bisbee; the peonage of the miners of this district by the Copper Queen company as described by man named " B. Cleary
 Well, Mir Editor, have been work ing in the mines of Arizona for the last twenty years, most of the ume up around Prescott 1 came aere about six months ago and went to work in the Gardiner, Cooper Queen) mine and have been close observer of conditions. And, let me say, I never worked in 3 camp where miners were better paid, better treated than in Bisbee.
 A Few pinheaded agitators tried to run the camp and failed and now they feel sore. But if you had waIkeu through the streets, went into the churches and homes of Bisbee today and yesterday as I did you would know that the of that article about the peonage of the miners of Bisbee simply lied. A more happy, content ed and prosperous people would be hard to find.
 I've talked and discussed the labor question with hundreds of miners, men who have mined all over the world and all say the Copper Queen is the best, the squarest company they ever worked for. So this talk oF peonage is not only foolish, but an insult to the men of this district
 Hoping you can find room in nay old favorite, The Arizona Republican, | for this. I am. Yours truly. WALTER HOWELL.

Downward Swings,

It is true that in each of the four downward swings the decline in cop per prices was greater than that in other commodities, but that does not show weakness because the rises in copper were also much greater than the rises in other commodities. The significant thing is that each ureaK in copper prices was smaller than the preceding one. The second break was S.4a% smaller than the First, the third 1S.9qo smaller than the second, and the fourth 11.4R smaller than the third. Hence, according to the average, each break was 12.93% smaller than the preceding one.
 The break this year has been great CT than the preceding one, but that was owing largely to special condi- tions, the first of which was that there was not an open market for the metal. It is always a great mistake to interfere with the prices which would naturally result from the oper- ation of the law of supply and de- mand. Such interference always re- suits in a collapse. It is precisely the same thing as begging the price oF a stock. So long as the peg holds it looks all right, but it cannot be all right or no peg would be needed. Hence finally the peg breaks anu there is total collapse. That was the trouble with copper. the main diff ference being that it was begged by the sellers instead of the buyers.
 The situation in Q nutshell is that each decline, except the last one, for the past 5 years has been smaller ttsn the preceding decline, and each risa has been greater than the pre- cei5ne one. The first of the above tables shows that the average de cline was only 2.29 times srratel than the corresponding decline in commodity prices, but the seconu ta ble shows that the average rise in cepper prices was 4.01 times greater than that in commodity prices. Tnal is another way of saying that the strength q copper prices is to rnt strength of commodity prices as 4-Ol is to .2.29, or in other words that copper prices are 75%o stronger thar commodity prices as whole.
 These figures indicate that on the next upward movement the price oI copper will just about double. Th' second rise as shown by the above table was 27.2% greater than th' first. the third 46.T% greater than th' second, and the fourth 22-2qo greater than the third. On the average eaci rise was 3z% greater than the pre- ceding rise. Hence since the las rise was 14o.9gc from the lowest, th' next one should be 196qo from th' lowest. Tnat means that i6-cent COT per should come with the return o general prosperity and business ac tivity

COPPER PRICE MOVE N MENTS
 SHOW STRENGTH
Copper Stocks Are Due, For Quicker Recovery Than In- dustriaI Securities. Accord ing To Opinion of Experts.

Either there has been a radical change in the relative position of the copper industry and other industries or else the present recovery in cop per prices is going to continue. and continue at faster pace than the re- covery in comodity prices in general. Copper prices For many years have shoEn greater strength than the prices of other commodities. During psriods Of business depression the de- clines have been growing smaller, and during periods of prosperity the rises have been relatively greater, and growing greater still.
 Since 1871 both copper prices and other prices have had four great downward swings and four great up- ward swings. The movements in copper and Dun's and Bradstreet's index numbers were not exactly sim ultaneous, but the swings from high est to lowest and vice versa were as follows:

and cottonwood are used in much smaller amounts.
 New York alone consumes each year over a million and a quarter cords of wood in the manufacture of pulp or more than twice as much as Maine, which ranks next. Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Pennysfyania and Michigan follow in the order given. Sixty per cent of the wood used in New York was imported from else where, and even so the supply ap- pears to be waning, since the total consumption for the state shows a small decrease since 1905, whereas the other states named have all in creased their consumption, other states important in the production Of pulp are: Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio. Oregon, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.
 The average cost of pulp delivered at the mill was S721. The total value of the wood consumed in 1906 was S26. 100000. The chief item determin- ing the price of. paper is the cost Of pulp. An example of the increased price os paper is found in the case of a publisher of a daily in the middle west, who recently paid $1,200 for a carload of paper. The same quantlsy and grade of paper cost a year ago but $500.
 The chemical processes of paper making. which better preserve the wood fiber, are gaining over the me chanicaI process. In 1899, 65 per cent of the wood was reduced by the me chanical process; in 1906 less than 50 per cent
 All importations of wood for pulp are from Canada, and comprised, in 1906, 739,000 cords, nearly all of which was spruce. Four and a half million dollars worth of pulp was i'm ported in 1906, a slight falling of from 1905.
 Circular I20 of the forest service contains a discussion of pulpwood in 1906 based on statistics gathered by the bureau of the census and the for est service. The pamphlet can be had upon application to the forester, United States department of agricui- ture, Washington, D. c.

PROMINENT PYTHlAN
MADE SUPERINTENDENT.

7. H. Butler of Hanna, formerly
grand chancellor of the grand lodge
Of Wyoming, Knights of Pythias, has
been made superintendent of mines
at Hanna, assuming the position at the
beginning of the month yesterday.
Tom Hickson, the engineer, returned
from Hanna last night and says that
when he left there 1t was generally
understood that the mine in which the
explosions occurred on Saturday
would be sealed up and abandoned, a
monument being erected to mark it
as the resting place of the ffty-four or
fifty-fve victims of the explosions
whose bodies had not been recovered.
Mr.. Hickson says he could find no au-
thority for the adding of the name of
the sixtieth victim to the list of the
dead, the official list containing but
flfty-nine names. This is the result
of a ho~use-to-house anvas by a man
named Hughes, who is looking up the
families of the victims with a view
to giving relief wherever it is neces
