relation to the supply than to the demand. The present trouble is with the supply. No regulation has ever been found for this except low prices, expanding consumption and forcing it into new uses.
 The 'wisest heads in the copper field say that the copper mining industry is undermined every time prices are advanced, because copper is then cut out of architectural specifications and building plans and from many arts and manufactures, on the other hand, a decline in copper makes for an ulti- mately strong position, as it widens the consumption and strengthens the base of the whole copper mining fabric.

NACozARI MINES
 DISPLAYING ACTIVITY

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. u.-L. Coombs, the well known mining man, returned to Douglas yesterday from the south, where he has been for sew eral weeks. MT. Coombs is interest ed in mines in the Sahuaripa district. where he has been for six weeks. IIs is doing no work at present, but speaking of the mining industry sourh of Moctezuma, he said that there was much activity along the line of the new railroad which is coming north up the Yaqui river. Extensive work is going on at La Dura and at San Antonio. AS the railroad reaches far ther north other mining properties will be brought under development as a result of better transportation fa- eilities.
 Speaking of the Southern Pacific line which is going south of Naco- zri, MT. Coombs said that the work in the Nacozari canyon which has been going on for three years is near ing completion and he thinks that all the heavy work will be completed during the next three months at most, although there has been no re- cent indication of a desire to hurry this work. When the rock work in the canyon is completed the work will be light then on to Cumpas.
 Speaking of Moctezuma where he remained for some time, MT. Coombs said that the mines in that vicinity were more or less active, but flat there was nothing of special i'm portance to relate. George F. Wood ward is busy now with his harvest and is gathering record crops of corr, alfalfa, beans, etc. MT. Woodward eultivates about seven hundred acres of fertile land and recently has been giving much attention to his farms. This year he has been experimenting with different varieties of grass to demonstrate which is the most valu- able for pasture and hay.
 Moetezuma, it is believed, is des- tined to become one of the important cities of the state of Sonora when the railroad reaches that point

DEAL IS CONCLUDED
 FOR NORTH CAPITOL
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

Yesterday an important mining deal was closed in this city affecting the North Capitol mining claim located at Walker in which Messrs. H. P. Dyson and E. T. Taylor secure the same from N. J. Griffin. The consid- eration named was not given.
 For some weeks this property has been under development by MT. Grif, fin and in the work Mir. Dyson has figured prominently in it. He is a practical miner and is conversant with the conditions prevailing underground. Several runs have been made at the the mill of the Pine Mountain plant and the yield has been gratifying, several bars of bullion being received in this city.
 Messrs. Dyson and Taylor yesterday stated that it was their intention to go ahead on an extensive plan. A large force of miners will be placed at work and for the present develop ment will be the object. Later the yield will be treated. The product from this mine is mainly free and a heavy valuation in concentrates is shown. The North Capitol is among the oldest locations in that district and in years gone has been developed at several points.

PLEASING SHOWING IS
 MADE IN GLOBE

Globe, Ariz., Nov. 9.-At the Live Oak mine in the Miami district of the Globe quadrangle the development for the past week has continud to be very satisfactory to the company, which controls this property. All the drifts now being driven have ad- vanced in a good grade of concentrat- ing sulphide ore. The drift No. 206 which runs west from the shaft on the 200-foot level now measures 75 feet and the average samples from it run 2A per cent in copper. Drift No. 207 which is now being driven north from drift 2O6 is passing through an indeterminately large body of chaleo- cite specimens from which average better than 215 per cent in copper.
 On the third level of the Live Oak mine development has been attended by exceptionally fine results during the past week. Drift 306, which runs north from the vertical shaft is now 39S feet long and is continuing to develop sulphide ores running from two and a half to three per cent cop per. Drift No. sos running west from this is about 70 feet in length and this drift also is in ore of fine grade with copper of an average equal to that found in drift No. 306.
 The drifting that has been done in the Live Oak mine during the last week has extended considerably the boundaries of the big chaleocite ore body already developed in this mine and thus has added materially to the tonnages. None of the development work up to date has been in any sense and if the Live Oak De- velopment company continues to have the same kind of success in the fu- ture that it has had in the past the value of its property will increase to the point of equaling that of any mine in the Miami district within the next few months.

TOO MUCH COPPER PRO
 DUCED, SAYS AUTHORITY

BOSTON, Mass, Nov IO.-Evidenee is pretty conclusive that Boston has nothing to do with the present cop. per movement. Some people who were formerly considerable advertisers in respect to "coppers" are trying to make out that they have yet some. thing to do with copper stocks, but as a matter of fact, it is only traeeable to their interest in dispos. ing of their privately held copper shares.
 The situation in regard to the metal is admirable so far as its con- sumption is concerned. Consumption is almost up to 1906 and 1907, but production has been greatly increased and continues to increase. The trou- ble is wholly with production. The Phelps-DOdge people, the Calumet 6 Heela people and the AmaIgamated people have been in conference over the production situation, and there is a general willingness among the large producers to cooperate in any feasible plan of curtailment, but, of course, Calumet 6 Hecla will enter into no combination in restraint of trade or in violation of federal laws.
 It is generally recognized, however, that the situation is bad and requiring srong and possible drastic treatment. Very large interests in banking and manufacturing identified with the United States Steel corporation are at work upon the situation, and these interests have been large buyers of Amalgamated and other copper shares.
 It is, of course, possible that what Serretan failed to do, what the Stand ard Oil interests have unsuccessfuIly tried to do, may yet be accomplished bv the United States Steel corpora- tion.
 The influence of the house of Nor gan & Co. may have brought about a better understanding in respect to forcing copper sales between Amalga- mated and the Guggenheim interests, hut you can't beat it out of the heads of men who have made millions in United States Steel common that the price of copper has very little reIa- tion to the price of steel.
 Zinc and lead have pretty direct relation to steel consumption, but the price of copper has always had more

HAPPY HUNTING GROUND
 CALLS PIONEERS FRIEND
Veteran Chief of Pimas, Who Was Ally of "Pale-Faces," Summoned
 By Great Reaper.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Azul Anton, chief of the Pimss, known all over Arizona, is dead. The white-haired old patriarch who pre- sided over the destinies of his tribe for half a century or more has been laid in his grave.
 The death of AZul occurred several weeks ago at Sacaton, but the news of the event has just come out. The older members of the tribe make frequent journeys to that corner of the graveyard in which lie the bones of their departed leader, and weep over his grave.
 No man knows just how old AZul was. But it is surmised that he was somewhere near the century mark. His life was one of usefulness to his tribe and to the whites in the early days, when the Indians had not be- come resigned to the rule of the white man, Azul ever eounseled against extreme measures when the hotheads demanded war. No one will ever know how many rebellions he prevented or how many lives he thus saved.
 Many a story is centered around Azul, most of them being to his credit and none to his discredit. It is related that at one time, nearly a quarter of a century ago, he pre- vented a widespread Indian uprising and massacre of the whites in Ari- zona.
 Azul was taken to Washington to talk with the Great White Father on matters of interest to his tribe As he journeyed eastward he was amazed to find how the palefaees had overrun the land. He saw vast

CAMERON REVIEWS
 STATEHOOD SITUATION

Ralph H. Cameron, Arizona's dele gate to congress, has written & letter for the Holbrook Argus giving his views on the matter of statehood for Arizona The article follows:
 "Statehood for Arizona at the next session of congress, in my opinion, is an assured fact. Not only have the assurance to the effect of both the Republican and Democratic lead CTS of the senate and house of repre- sentatives, but Of President Taft him. self.
 "Feeling that it would be benefi- eial to our cause to have the presI- dent receive the most favorable im- pression of Arizona possible under tine circumstances, was determined to have him see something of the south ern part of the territory as well as the north, while on his tour through this section. It was after earnest solicitation and the valued assistance of Postmaster General Hitchcock that I succeeded in having the president s itinerary changed so as to include 8 portion of the southern part of iSe territory. However, felt amply rt- paid for my efforts when at the Grand Canyon the president came to me and stated that from what he had seen of the territory and it's high class of citizenship we were undoubtedly entitled to admission, and that he would be with us, heart and soul, to gain that end at the next session of congress.
 "In addition to the president $ declaration I am more than gratifiel at my success in enlisting another and powerful recruit in our fight for ad mission, Postmaster General Hitch cock. Having had MT. Hitchcock in the territory as my guest on a pre- vious occasion, and knowing his kin,- ly feeling toward Arizonans in gen, eral, succeeded in inducing him to spare the. time from his many official duties and join me on a hunting trip in the White mountains and a general tour of the territory, from which we have just returned. I must confess that a considerable portion of the time on the hunting trip was devoted to statehood talk, but I considered that more humane than the slaughter of defenseless animals. MT. Hitch cock, as a member of the president s cabinet, is a powerful factor in the machinery of the government and he has pledged himself absolutely and completely to support Arizona next winter and at any and all times in the future.
 CT shall be in Washington at the eOnvening of congress in December and on the first day shall resume my efforts and plead for the speedy Gd- mission of our territory, and I sin eerely believe and predict that at this time next year Arizona will be a full-fledged state"

cities teeming with people and knew that his men were outnumbered not two to one nor ten to one, but thousands to one.
 Shortly after his return he was visited by emissaries from the Walla- pals and Apaches. They proposed to him that the Pimas join those tribes in exterminating the whites. A care ful plan was outlined for a sudden and concerted uprising and the ruth less massacre of every pale face man, woman and child.
 Azul Anton, after hearing their words, heaped up three little piles of sand. One, he said, was to repre- sent the Wallapais, one of the Apaches and the third the Pimas. Then he scooped up big handfuls of sand and made an immense pile. He worked for some minutes, his visit ors looking on in amazement. Then he said:
 "f might work here for many moons and still not make a pile of sand that would show you how great ly the pale face outnumber us. They have thousands of warriors to our one and are certain to whip us. We can never kill them all. Before we have killed a fraction of them they will have wiped us out. .'
 His refusal to join broke up a plot for an Indian uprising that would probably have been the most bloody in Arizona history.
 It is yet uncertain who will sue eeed Azul as head chief of the Pimas but it will probably be his son, a middle-aged man who has many of the characteristics of his father.

He loved mental honesty, a virtue fatal to
any church. He knew the risk he was in
curing, for men were daily tortured to
death for treason against God.
The motto Of the Church of Rome was:

Quoted the praying and singing with one

Rome to attend the burning of Bruno, and
thus show their loyalty to the true religion.
There they sat, dressed in purple, wearing
the holy cross, the symbol of meekness,
while their hearts were filed with venom

there be a treason against God it is to burn

was born at Nola, Italy, in the year 1913,
OF poor parents. He was like his native
soil, volcanic in temperament. His LIES
work wrought destruction To much Of the
so-called learning of the church of Rome.
Wonderful truths and wisdom poured
forth from his intellectual crater like
streams Of lava from volcano.
He was brought up N the church of
Rome. He early realized the corruption,
pervertion and deterioration of that organi-
cation and his contempt for clerical and
political tyranny soon famed itself into
longing for mental freedom.
We find him at seventeen in the convent
of DOmenico MaggiOre, in Naples, whence
he had gone, there being but three oppor-
tunities for ambitious young man in his
days, namely: The law, the army, and the
church In 1875 we find him a full fledged
priest. He soon became monk but as one
OF the chief qualities of monk is mental
submission he resigned, preferring to re-
main honest with the world. With the
great Shelly he might have said:
"FrOm that hour did | with earnest
thought
Heap knowledge from forbidden mines
Of lore,
Yet nothing that my tyrants knew or
thought
L cared to learn, but from that secret
store
Wrought linked armor for my soul, before,
1t might walk forth to war among man
kind"
The doctrines Of the church of Rome had
become obnoxious to Bruno and he never
hesitated to give his opinions to the world.
