ROCKEFELLER SAYS
 TRADE BOON IS HERE

NEW YORK, May 19.-William Rockefeller, accompanied by Mrs. Rockefeller and their daughter-in-law, Mrs. W. G. Rockefeller. have arrived home after four weeks absence abroad. Mir. Rockefeller asked con corning the money situation here, the state legislature and other local af fairs and then declared his earnest belief that the country had undoubt- edly started in on season of great prosperity. He said that there was every indication that stocks would boom this year as never before, and he pointed to the fact that there are thousands of aliens booked for the United States as basis for his be- lief that there would be great re- vival of trade and general business within the next few months.
 We went away because I was suf- fering severely from influenza said MT. Rockefeller. My son-in-law re mained in France, while we came home after a brief holiday. the first we had taken abroad in some years. Paris found considerably upset by the labor troubles in France, but England seems to be going along nicely. and with a gradual upward tendency in the general business of the country.
 Al over Europe, from personal observation and what I heard while abroad. they look to the United States to furnish the lead in an un- precedented prosperity.
 "The United States has settled down to serious business. and there is an atmosphere of confidence and quiet about the country which speaks well for the general conditions.
 q saw but one newspaper since l have been away. and I was pleased to read today the optimistic views of Franklin MacVeagh. am an opti- mist myself. and I have great conf dence in the stability of business on this side of the Atlantic"

ARIZONA ROUSE IS
 BREAKING RECORDS
General Manager Tells of the Good Work that is Being
 Accomplished,

That the rapidity with which the Arizona Rouse Copper company has developed their recently acquired property at Rouse establishes a new record in speed is the statement of Charles r Smurthwaite. an officer of the coTpany, who is in Bisbee for the purpose of interesting business men of this city in the holdings of the North ern Arizona company.
 Speaking 0, tac woT1 accomplished. Mir. .h@aiIc. who is also general manager of the Grand Travers and Arizona mine. iu Mar;copa county. said when seen ty reporter for the Re ylew yesterday:
 lean safely say that the work of development of the Arizona Bouse Copper company has been carried on n a record-breakiEg manner since the property was acquired during the lat ter part of December. 1909. It was February 1st before We were able to actually begin work, and since that time the shaft, which was but twenty feet deeD. has been sun 200 feet in a little over three months. There are stations at the JO-ToUt. l15-foot and 20O-foot levels, and considerable drift ing and cross cutting has been done on each of these levels.
 Up to the time the property was taken over by us but four carloads of ere had been taken out In the three and one-half months that we have had the mine six cars of ore have been taken out and we feel that We are now in a position to take ont six cars each month, and possibly a greater amount later on. Tn core av. erages about SEQ car. bringing about ss ton in gold and g per cent cop per.
 One of the greatest advantages we nave is the close proximity to the railroads. We have only to haul a little more than four miles before We come to the railroad running through Bouse. It is our intention to build a spur leading U the property in the near future"

SHANNON COPPER COMPANY Will Issue $500, ,000 in Bonds to Finance Railroad
 to Mines.
BONDS CONVERTIBLE
 INTO REGULAR STOCK

BOSTON, May 19-The directors of the Shanncn Copper Co. have voted to finance the construction of the shannon & Arizona R. K. to connect the mines with the smelter. The rail road company proposes to issue $500. 000 per cent bonds. guaranteed prin- c.pal and interest by the shannon Cop per Co. the holders of these bonds having the optional right to exchange them within three years from date or issue for Shannon stock at S20 per share. The railroad company will have s6oo.000 stock. all of which is to be held in the treasury of the Shan non Copper Co.
 The construction of this road is brought about in part by the failure of the Coronado railroad. controlled by the Arizona Copper Co, to make an equitable rate on ores and supplies. It is figured that hereafter the Shan non Co. will save 20 cents per ton on $50. 900 tons of ore. or s70.000 per an mum. and between s25,00O and s3O.- % on other traffic.
 There is also good reason to believe that as soon as completed, ether com pantes will be shipping over this road. which will serve the Morenci district. including the Detroit Copper Co. Con struction work will begin immediately and it is hoped to have the line com pleted this year
 President Amster says: When th
 new road Is serving us there will never be any shutdown of the Shan. non mines or smelter by reason of washouts and floods such as We nave experienced in the past five or six years. The Coronado railroad runs along the bottom of Chase creek and
 every good-sized freshet puts the road out of commission The roadbed of the new high" line will be consider, i, ably above high-water mark" A meeting of the Shannon stock,
 holders will be held shortly to vote on the issue of 30.000 shares of new , stock to be placed in the treasury to provide for the conversion of the rail road bonds. Shannon stockholders
 will be offered the right to subscribe , to these bonds at par on the basis of 5000 bond fer every 800 shares oi stock
 Payments for the bonds will be spread over period of four months or more. 25 per cent to be paid al
 the time of subscription and the bal
 ance in three or four installments. At the present time Shannon has outstanding $l7S,0O0 out of an origina issue of s600,005 per cent bonds
 and sT0.000 more will be paid off thi: year. Against this small indebted
 ness the company has sS00,000 in net
 quick assets including merchandise i supplies, cash and copper.
 The new bonds will call for an in i terest charge of only s36.0OO per an nun, a sum which the road itself
 should more than earn.
 The new issue has been underwrit 1; ten at a commission of per cent.

TOM STRIKER
IS A PUzzLER

Tom Stryker, native, confined in the
federal Jail since September on a
charge of insanity, is proving a trou-
blesome case.
He was arrested at Halls Rapids,
near Anvik, by Deputy Marshal F. w.
Wright, of Nulato. The United States
commissioner at Nulato having escaped
to parts unknown, the deputy brought
the suspected lunatic on to Tanana,
some 500 miles from his longtime fish,
ing grounds. Stryker is of tribe with
different tongue to natives in the re-
gion of Tanana; so an interpreter was
brought along-himself understanding
the accused mans conversation but i'm
perfectly.
No witnesses are accessible here.
The suspect does not himself seem to
know whether he is of unsound mind
or not. Through the interpreter he
mentions spells he has had in the past
when there would develop sensations
similar to fishwheel revolving in his
head, followed by pain. On these oc-
casions he would 60 to sleep and would
be all right on awaking.
The post medical officer has had the
case under observation; but he has
