SHANNON AWAITING
 IMPROVED PRICES
Graham County Producer !S ,rl Condition to Increase 0u.-
 put at Any Time.

CLIFTON, March 9.-The Shannon output for the month of February was 750 tons of Bessemer copper. The company is in position to produce a much larger output than the above, but at the present price of copper. there Is no encouragement to draw on ores bodies to any great extent. The plant is in excellent running order mad as soon as the price of the metal ad- waEces 70 a reasonable figure the shannon will make some runs that will most assuredly open the eyes of the other copper producing institutions.
 P. U. sBeauchamp, general manag- CT of the old Belt company, operating Morenci, was in this week and reports some new developments at the gold and copper shafts. The copper snafr Is now down. 8, depth of 325 feet, from which point drift will be run 10 rap the copper vein In order to run the shaft straight it was necessary to leave the vein and it is expected that It will re quire only few feet of drift. ing to reveal an excellent ore body. At the gold shaft a considerabl amount of drifting Is being done. In one of the stopes an excellent new body Of gold rock has been encountered. which demonstrates the fact that the ground is well impregna;ed with the golden metal. Plans for the new mill are progressing nicely and it will not be many months before the construction work will be commenced.

TAFT SEEMS ID BE
 CHOICE IN OMAHA
LaFollette Boom Falls Through and That of Secretary
 Profits By Result.

OMAHA, Neb., March 10.-The ad- vance guard of delegates has put fin an appearance in readiness for the republican state convention which is to assemble here tomorrow to choose delegates to the republican national convention. A small sized boom start ed some time ago in the interest of La Toilette seems to have collapsed, leaving Secretary Taft virtually the unanimous choice of Nebraska repub- lieans for the presidential nomina- tion. The boom for the secretary of war was given good start early in January when the state committee adopted a resolution indorsing Taft for president Since then a majority of the county primaries have resulted in the passing of similar resolutions, while the uninstructed delegates to the state convention are popularly supposed to lean toward Taft Tne most notable exceptions are the defe- gates from Lancaster county. the home of William J. Bryan, who have been Instructed for Roosevelt. This is not expected to interfere. however, with the plan of the party leaders to have the state convention pass strong resolutions indorsing Taft

MARK SMITH WILL CARRY
 OFF HON0RS
Well Known Resident of North Says There Is No Doubt of
 His Nomination = Ashurst
 Would Come Second in Race

In the city at the present time Is
 T. E. Pullim, deputy sheriff of Coco. nino county, with headquarters at
 Flagstaff. He is here on matters of official business, part of which is to summon a number of witnesses whose
 presence is required at the coming term of the district court in the northern county.
 Pullim is an old time resident of
 the territory, and Ia well acquainted
 through all of the northern and cen tral counties. During this trip tS
 Bisbee he had an opportunity at va
 rious places to aeq@aint himself wit
 the feeling in various communities A:i regard to the coming race for the nom
 nation for delegate to congress on
 the Democratic ticket, and wnen a.
 ed for his opinion by a Review IT
 last night said:
 "Of course Coconino has it's favor ! ite son as well as other counties, anG we believe that District Attorney Henry Ashurst will eventually reprs- sent the territory in the halls of congress, although in the coming cleo ton his support and that of ms friends will be for Mark Smith, who has made a noble fight against joint statehood, and will make just as strong an effort for single statehood,
 we hope with equal success. I do not think from all I could learn there is any doubt that Mark Smith will be ! the nominee by big odds.
 Tn referring to Ashurst as a favor i ite son of Coconino I might give the l impression that his home county was ! tae only one strongly in his favor. !; This would not be true, because in i almost every quarter which l have ! visited have heard his chances char acterized as being second only u | those of Smith. He is man of sterl- | ing worth as everyone who ever met
 him knows, is brilliant and able l lawyer and has the advantage of being | young so that when the time comes | for Mark to retire he will be the logical candidate, but not this time. '

TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST
 ENTIRELY lNExCUSABLE
So Says Coroner In Regard To
 D. CoIIingWood Fire.

CLEVELAND, March 10.-'The loss of the lives of little children in the Col linwood school fire was absolutely in excusable," Coroner Bunke declared today after making a thorough inVes- tigatioH.
 "The poor little children were caught in a veritable trap and held untfl burned to death. Some one who is responsible for this should be held. I am not prepared to say upon whom the blame should be placed, but l find the steam pipes caused the fire by be- ing placed too close to the wood work. There is no dougt in my mind that oyerheatsd pipes caused the fire.
 Another body was recovered from the ruins today, making total of 176.

 V. w Partch, of the United States immigration service, was in the city today, coming after Mexican named Monyose, who has been held here in the county jail for number of months. He was examined as to his sanity, and it was discovered that he had been in the United States but short time and was therefore subject to deportation. He is the Mexican who was mixed up in the killing of two others by Conductor Roller on the Southern Pacific few months ago. Partch also took the Mexican boy Cor tez to Tucson, where he will be held for a few days and then taken to Naco For deportation. Cortez has been deported four times already. but con tinues to cross back into the United States and then into the county jail.
