ADVANCE IN "COPPER"
ASSURED

There is every indication that
the selling price of copper will
reach the I5-cent notch by the
first of the year. Producers seem
to have sold freely, and few con
tracts are now being made, as an
other advance is expected. For
eign consumers have been heavy
buyers for some time past, taking
about 10000 tons monthly. The
Turkish government has placed
an order with buyers for 10000, 900
pounds of copper to be used IN
the manufacture of ammunition.
The copper share market ex-
perienced a reactionary movement
following the rapid advance i'm
mediately after election but IS al
ready recovering again, and is now
due to long and steady advance

CHANGING The GAUGE

Word has been received at Sparks that
the Southern Pacific is at work changing
the narrow gauge railroad running north
of Keller to standard gauge, using IS
pound rails and rushing the work as fast
as possible. Grading has been com
pleted for distance of ten miles from
Keller.
Mojave is headquarters for the firm
which has the safeguarding contract.
Information comes from this company
that in all probability this standardizing
of the old c. & c. railroad through the
valley will be completed within year.
and the connection with the broad gauge
road at Nina be made soon after.
Again, it is rumored that spur will
be run out of Laws into Bishop just as
soon as the gauge of the main track has
been widened Bishop will thus be
placed in very advantageous position
as regards shipping. Carson Appeal.

MAY Be CHANGED into
STATE REFORM
SCHOOL

Attorney General Stoddard is in the
CITY for a few DAYS and this morning
stated to Gazette man that he believes
the state government will secure control
of the buildings and grounds OF the
Stewart Indian Institutes near Carson
after the session of the legislature IN
! January. He states that with Governor
DiCkerson, State Engineer Nicholas and
a special government agent he visited
the place few days ago and that the
state has great need for just such
place as an asylum for the criminal in
sane and the place of confinement for
unmanagable youths.
His plan is to have the legislature pass
a bill appropTiating small sum tor the
purI of keeping up the building and
grounds and maintaining a reform school
and asylum for the criminal insane
and to have congress pass bill pro-
viding for the leasing of the buildings
and grounds to the state for their care
and maintenance.
There are often times convicts i'll the
Nevada penitentiary who are either in
sane or suffering with dangerous diseases
and as the state has no right to send
these convicts to the Nevada asylum and
there is no place i'll the prison for their
care, l maintain that it would be a good
plan to use some of the buildings at the. !
Stewart Institute for state hospital and
asylum for the criminal insane A re-
form school is also badly needed in this
state and a portion of the Indian school
could be used for the care of boys and
girls who violate the law, but who are
too Young to be sent to prison.
AttorneyGeneral Stoddard suggested
this at the special session of the Nevada |
hut at that time no action /,
was taken. At the coming session OF
the Legislature Governor Dickerson and
Stoddard will both |
recommend the passage of an act to take
over the Indian institute for the purposes

room today at IS Bridge street.
Mrs. Mary Tallman. who conducts u
furnished room house at that address,
said that Haskin had not been seen

COLBY OUGHT TO
/. FORM own PARTY,
SAYS RAYMOND
Believes Senator Has No Right
to Seek Nomination from
Republicans.
HAS LEFT THE PARTY
WHICH ELECTED HIM
Raymond Doesn't Want Pri-
maries Closed Because Col
by Is Running.

Thomas L. Raymond last night in
his speech at Kemper's Hall in South
Fourteenth street inquired before a
big audience Of Republicans. presided
over by Frank =. Davenport, why Sem
ator Everett Colby, instead of seeking
denomination as the candidate of the
Republican party, did not form his
own separate party as he had declared
In East Orange last Wednesday night
that he was an Independent, though
with Republican tendencies. Mr.. Ray
mond evidently doubted the right of
Mr., Colby TO be considered Republi-
can.
Mr.. Davenport told how he had be-
come a New idea man three years ago,
but said that In his opinion the objects
for which the contest had then been
made had since been attained and that
this year the party ought to be united.
"Attempt to Disrupt."
'The continuance of the fight against
the party organization" he said, "be-
comes what appears to me an attempt
to disrupt the Republican party"
In his speech MT. Raymond reterreo
to the declaration by Senator Colby
that he was an Independent. Mr.. Ray
mond said in this respect:
''I believe III home rule for the Re
publican party, and not in rule by In
dependents from without"
II am opposed to closing the direct
primaries because Senator Colby de-
clared himself a candidate" Mr.. Ray
mond also said he was opposed to mo-
nopoly in office. and to putting a mort
gage in the senatorship. He said he
doubted the existence of a righteous
ness trust and doubted the doctrine
ahat Colby can do no wrong. He de-
ciared himself in favor of distribution
of Offices.
No Right to Party Nominstfoz.
In his speech Mr.. Raymond showed
the development OF party organization
and the growth OF 1t right from the
time the Constitution was adopted.
For years, he said. a lot of inde-
pendents had stood for the abolition Of
slavery In the United States, but it
was not until abolition was adopted as
