FREIGHT CHARGES
 ARE NOT A LIEN
JUDGE SLOAN IN DISTRICT COURT OF YAVAPAI COUNTY MAKES NOVEL DECISION IN SUSTAIN ING DEMURRER.

Judge Sloan, in sustaining the special demurrer interposed by J. Kearney Rice, trustee in bankruptcy of the Afi- zona Smelling company, to the cross complaint filed by the $. F., r. & P. Railroad company in the lien foreclos- ure suit of Cecil c. Fennell, the Bank of Arizona, the St. Louis, Rocky Noun tain and Pacific company, and other lien claimants versus the Arizona Smelt- ing company, yesterday decided that the railroad company is not entitled to lien on the property of the smelting company for the amount due for unpaid freight charges.
 In giving the decision the court ex. pressed the opinion that the statute al. lowing liens to those performing labor and furnishing supplies for the opera tion of any mill or reduction works was not broad enough to include within its purview the service of transportation furnished by the railroad company. Par ticularly so, in view of the fact that after surrendering its common law lien under which it is entitled to hold goods transported until the transportation charges are paid, it cannot then assert lien which is purely statutory and which it requires broad construction of the law to allow.
 The company gave notice in open court of an appeal to the supreme court of the territory. The general opinion among attorneys is that the matter will not be finally adjudicated until passed upon by the supreme court of the United States.
 The exact amount of the railroad s claim for transportation charge is not determined, but is known to be sufii- ciently large to entitle the case to the consideration of the supreme court of tho United States.

KISSING AND ENcoREs.
Origin of These Two Customs of the
 Playhouse.


 Kissing in playhouses had Its origin in Paris in 16S0 on the occasion of the presentation of Fontenelle's tragedy. 'Aspar." Prior to that time suffering audiences were wont to yawn audibly and fall asleep when the apathy of the actors and performances justified that course. But on this occasion the indig- nant audience. driven to desperation by the platltudes of Aspar. voiced their anger by hisses, which drove the ac- tors into temporary retirement. accord ing to the testimony of the poet Roi. who alludes to the incident in his "Brevet de la Calotte" Kissing there after became fashionable.
 The first encore noted in the annals of the stage was accorded to Livius Andronicus, a Roman actor. He was popular with the masses and was called back so often to repeat his speeches that he in self defense broughta boy to declaim for him while he himself applied the gestures. While encores became the rage in subsequent ages, it is known that Andronicus' plan of hallng an understudy before him be- fore the audience to share his honors has not generally been adopted by Thespians.-Show World.

A PICTURE ROMANCE.
The Frasse That Startled DeIacroix Ia
 the Paris Salon.


 Eugene Delacroix. founder of the French romantic school of art, was very poor in his youth. His first pic ture of note was his Dante and Vir- sil," painted when he was only twenty years old. It was extremely large, con taining several figures the size of life, and to buy the canvas and colors took all the money Delacroix had. A frame was out of the question, but good na- tured carpenter gave the young artist four strips of lath, of which Delacroix made rude framework for his mas- tcrpiece, which he then sent to the salon. But he had hardly hope that his picture would be accepted.
 On opening day Delacroix went to the salon, but failed to find his paint ing. He was wandering disconsolately about, when he noticed great crowd before a picture. He drew near. It was his Dante and virgil.' But 1t was in magnificent, richly gilded frame, as fine product Of the picture mounter's art as could be found in Paris. Aston ished. he sought Baron Gros, head of the examining committee. As soon as young Delacroix introduced himself Gros seized his hand and congratulated him with true Gallic enthusiasm But" stammered Delacroix, "how about that splendid frame? I had no money to frame 1t. and"-
 Make your mind easy" said the baron. Your lath frame fell to pieces, but the committee was determined that such chef-d'oeuvre as you have paint cd should be placed on exhibition, and we framed your Dante at our own ex- pense. "-Exchange.

k0FA COMING RAPIDLY
 ID FRONT IN MINING

kofa, the spelling of which is di- vided into "K. of A." meaning King of Arizona, is fast coming to the front. It promises to outshine Nevada's rich est camps. Outside of the King mine, there is but little machinery installed, as everything else is lately discovered Col. Epes Randolph and Hon. E. S. Ives are interested in the King of Arizona
 The King has been a steady dividend payer for the past twelve years and is still in its prime. The North Star mine, now called the Golden Star, comes next. They have had small mill installed for the past three months and are shipping about $200,000 per month, with ex. penses about $l0,000. New machinery is arriving that will double the eapa- city inside of thirty days. This mine is the one that Ed Rogers and MT. Hyman of Aspen, Colo, and Mir. Hamburger of Salt Lake City bought little over a year ago for the Arizona record price of s35O,O00, with only fifty-foot hole down, but they could not resist $2 per pound rock.
 The America strike, which lays be- tween the Ready Money group and the King, struck the main ledge last Friday at the fifty-foot level. It shows rich values. Some of the rock is alive with gold. Their best assay was s23,000 per ton. This was exceptional, the general run being from s6 to $l35 per ton. This property was sold for SlO0,OO0 when there was only $20 worth of work done.

American Success.

The reason of the enormous success of the Americans. the reason of their growing wealth and power on the con tinent of Europe. is their willingness to take risks. They are brave and are prepared to shoXlder responsibility. When merchant fails in business, banks are found to advance him mon- ey to put him on his feet again. Not so In England. A bankrupt is a pariah; the banks will not give him the least help. His failure creates terrible fuss.--F'renchman in Pail Mall Gazette.

COPPER PRODUCERS
 WILL ORGANIZE
NEW ORGANIZATION TO BE PURE LY sTATISTICAI.-NINErY PER CENT or AMERICAN PRoDUC- TON REPRESENTED.

At the meeting last week in New
 York, at the offices of Phelps, Dodge Co.,, there was a very large representa- ton of the prominent copper produc CTS of this country called together tc consider ways and means of rehabili tating the Copper Producers Associa ton and to expand if possible, the scope and influence of the old organization says the Boston News Bureau.
 There was present at the meeting representatives of producing and sell ing interests who, in the aggregate control at least 90 per cent of the to. tai output of the country. It was the unanimous vote of those present that it would be advisable to organize an association patterned after the old as sociation of which the late John Stan. ton was secretary. So far as yet de- veloped, however, the ideas of those present was that the organization should be purely statistical in character, those having membership furnishing to some one individual the figures of monthly output, these figures to be sub-divided into groups and made public every 30 days.
 For the present, however, it appears that membership in the association will be confined purely to producing inter, ests.
 Among those present at last week $ meeting were representatives of the United Metals Selling Co.,, The Amer ican Metal Co.,, Calumet & Hecla, l.. Vogelstein & Co.,, Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, the stanton group of mines, the Quincy Mining Co.,, and, in fact, all concerns conspicuous in the copper.producing in- dustry.
 The impression has gone out that the new association would seek to regu. late in some manner teh price of cop per. Such an inference, however, has no basis ill fact, the desire of the or ganization being primarily to prevent and speculative advances and declines in the metal. These fuc- tuations have done much during the past few years seriously to upset the  calculations of manufacturing interests, who object, not so much to stable l5 or l6 cent price, as to market sub jcet to quick and radical changes and upon which it is difficult to base spec iications.
 IL is needless to say the Calumet & Hecla interests and others well known to the copper trade, would not for moment tolerate any suggestion of price control
 The suggestion at last weeks meet iug was that revival of the old cop per producers association would be in the interest of helpful publicity, and it met with the most cordial assent by al lthose present.
 Committees were appointed to de. wise ways and means to carry on the or ganization and these committees will report at a meeting to be held early in January.
