the value of copper will take place, the reason for this view being that at about that time the output of the rcGnerics will begin to show the curtailment at the mines in October and November. Also by that time the currency difficulty will doubtless have been overcome. There k no question that the ac- cumulation of stocks was greatly reduced by the heavy sales at the end of October, although since then the current production has in- creased them again to some extent.
 Journal-Miner: With the best of feeling prevailing. complete reorganization of the directorate of the Logan Copper Company was made at the annual meeting of the stockholders of that concern here Saturday. Arrangements were made to increase the force em- ployed at once and push the work of opening the property. A reduc- ton plant will be installed as soon as developments justify 1t. The affairs of the concern were found to have been admirably conducted during the past year, and the com pany is amply financed to carry on operations on a large scale for the ensuing year. The company's holdings are located in the Copper Basin district, four miles northeast of Skull valley station.
 Arizona Republican: Opera tions at the Gold Belt property continue at rapid rate, although copper shipments are being held back somewhat pending a rise in the price of the metal, which will no doubt take place shortly after the first of the new year The new gasoline hoist on the copper shaft will be money maker for the com pany. As a whole the Gold Belt is in as good shape as any small company in the district. The man. agement of the company has been in excellent hands since the organ ization of the company and the stockholders, who are more than we'll pleased with their services, could do no better than re-elect them for another year at the elec- ton which takes place in January.
 Paradise Record Machinery is to be installed in the near future at the Savage mine in the Paradise district and for its reception the work of grading is practically fin ished. Manager Reay Thursday confirmed the rumor current that such was the intention of the com panv, but he was unable to say just when the installation would take place, that being detail in connection upon which he had not yet been advised. After completion of this grading, which required several rounds of shots, force of men was put at work repairing and grading the road from the shaft to camp and from the camp to the stage road leading to Rodeo. A new road is also being built to con meet with the st. ge road near the Triangle ranch, thus shortening materially the distance between the Savage camp and Rodeo.

 Kingman Mineral Wealth: The mill treating the ore from the Idaho is running smoothly. This Is the first attempt in the county if not in the territory to operate magnetic separators, and they seem to be a perfect success. A clean zinc product is being made Drifts now being run from the bottom of the shaft in the Idaho are in solid ore body, and the outlook for ore appears to be permanent.
 Arizona Republican: The New England and Clifton company will probably ship several carloads of ore week. " to the Douglas smelters in addition to what they are ship ping to the Shannon. The com pany now has many tons of ore piled up in North Clifton which they have been unable to get treated. The ore came from the Copper King mine and is of good grade, and the management will not take chances on losing any of 1t in case of a flood.
 Journal Miner: In the aban- doned openings of a claim, worked d quarter of century ago by J. N. Maris, Dan B. Genung recently un- covered what appears to be one of the most important mineral dis coveries made in Yavapai county during the last two years. The pavstreak is from three to four feet in thickness where opened at a depth of forty feet. The ore re- sembles meteoric iron. It carries high grade values in gold, specks of the yellow metal being plainly visible to the naked eye.
 Arizona Republican: The South western Development company Is doing some excellent work on the Polaris property above Clifton. Reports by parties familiar with the property are to the effect that most encouraging results are being obtained. It is we'll known fact that in the Polaris district are located some of the best claims obtainable anywhere. If operated on large scale, together with the erection of gold mill, that will be one of the best paying properties in Arizona. Time will prove this statement.
 Journal Miner: Judgment for plaintiff was ordered yesterday by Judge Sloan after hearing the evi dence and arguments in the case of Howard W. Kemper vs. John w. Gerrit, ct al. The judgment ordered was in the amount of $500, and was entered against the de fendant. The suit was transferred here from Mohave county. Plaintiff sought to collect $1 ,000 and 25,000 shares of the capital stock of the Orc Plata company as commission for the sale of mining property. Gerrit's codefendants were elimi- mated from the suit and the judg- ment does not affect them.

PARK QUESTION DECIDED
Woman's Civic Club Selects q Site on
the River, at the Foot Of
Central Avenue.

The Woman's Civic club held busi-
ness meeting, followed by social session,
at the home Of Mrs. Fred Sprague, last
Friday night, Mrs. Sprague and Mrs. J.
Duncan entertained the club.
: The most important business to come
before the club at the meeting was the
selection Of a park site, and q full attcn-
dance was present to take part in the
proceedings. Four different sites were
under consideration by the club, one Of
them being located east of town, on
ground owned by A. Il. MeKeen; an
other WAS offered by the Riverside Inn
provemcnt Co., south Of town and across
the river; one from the Whitefish Town
site Co., west Of town, across the river,
and another, lying between Central and
Lupfcr avenues, on the east side Of the
river, and which was offered jointly by
the Whitefish Townsite Co. and the
Riverside improvement Co.
The ballotting resulted in the selcc-
ton Of the latter place, by vote of ls
to A.
The land selected is well adapted TO,
park purposes, especially in view of the
fact tllat it will soon be located practical
ly upon Whihhsh lake, through thu
building Of the new dam, and will be n
excellent location for boat houses, docks
and launch headquarters for those who

FIRE DOES DAMAGE
J. A. Robinson's Jewelry Store and
Cut Bank Clothing Store Suffer
from Flames.

The business part of town was again
saved from destruction by fire Tuesday
night of this week through the new water
works system and the prompt action Of
the fire department.
The fire broke out about 1890 o'clock
in the building occupied by the Cut Bank
Mercantile Co. 3 clothing department and
J. A. Robinson's jewelry storc. The
building is owned by Mr.. Robinson, and
il the second fire nc has had to contend
with since the installation of the water
works system.
Just how the fire started is mystery.
There are some who profess to believe
that it was of incendiary origin, but there
is no proof Of this. However it is pos
sible that the fire was started in that
manner.
The clothing and jewelry stocks were
both badly damaged by fire, smoke and
water. The loss in this respect is much
larger than that from the damage to TIN
building. The fire had good star

alarm bell. Quite q number Of them did
not hear any alarm, having retired fol
the night.
Mr.. Robinson carried only $500 Of in
surance upon his building, and none up
on his stock. The Cut Bank Mercantil,

one-half of the damage to the stock o

The Making of a Saint.

To those who love the wonderful char
acter and the still more wonderful life
OF Jeane dArc-and is there one who
doesn't?-the statement from the Bishop
of Orleans, that she may soon be granted
Qualification by the Catholic church,
will be a theme of great interest.
Ever since 1894, when her candidature
was brought up before the Roman tri-
bunal, Catholics have been looking for
ward to the day when her beatification
would be announced. 1t must be proved
that Joan displayed the heroic degree of
the cardinal virtues of fortitude justice
temperance, with the adjuncts of humility
and chastity. Empire volumes have been
filled with the reports pro and con and
canonization of a saint may be considered
a long and careful task.
In this connection 1t is also of interest
to know that the foundation of the
prison of Joan of Arc has just been
brought to light at Rouen. 1t was
tower, the diameter of which is 10 meters,
and there the Maid of Orleans was con-
fined from December %, 143O, until she
was taken to the stake in the May fol-
lowing. The tower was partially demol-
inshed in 1889, and completely RACED in
1909 to give place to some out houses
belonging to the Ursuline convent. 1t
has not yet been decided what will be
done in regard to the discovery, but the
authorities have for the present suspended
all further excavation. Another tower is
shown at Rouen as the Maids prison,
but it seems that her confinement in
the Tour du Donjou was at the most

Seven Women Ate rs Pounds
of Candy.

Mrs. William Ellis Corey, who was
Mabelle Gilman the noted comic opera
star, is always an interesting person and
the recent hunting party which she and
Mr.. Corey gave out in Michigan has at
tracted a large amount OF comment.
Upon their return to New York Mrs.
Corey was most enthusiastic about the
party and among other things said:
1--WE had a perfectly delightful time
and one of the most remarkable things
about the party was that seven wom-
en- ate 10 pounds of candy in two weeks
and not one of us was i'll.
II have been much annoyed by the.
many silly stories published about the
trip" continued Mrs. Corey but | must
admit some Of them We're really clever
and amusing. 1t was said that brass
band followed us over the shooting pre-
serves and that a blare or trumpets was
used to flush the game. The only excuse
for this was that we took along a five
piece orchestra to furnish music for the
party evenings.
"Anoeher funny story was that my
