Fate'S Heavy Hand

1t is with feeling of most pro-
found sorrow that we are called
upon to report the death this week
of Dorothy, little daughter of Roy
H. and Gertrude Hall of Wichita,
and granddaughter of ]. P. and
Mrs. Hall, and Judge C. w. and
Mrs. Ellis of this city. She was
taken sick about ten days ago with
pneumonia and from the beginning
DrS. Donovan and Gilbert who at
tended her, realized that the case
was critical, and from day to day
hope alternated with fear, until
Saturday morning, April 2nd, when
the spirit took flight unto the un'
known "bourne from whence no
traveller returns "
The child made a brave fight,
and the parents and grandparents
ministered to her comfort with all
the power and love endowed upon
a human soul but they were doom
ed to defeat, and when the end
finally came-when the sweet, pre-
cious little one bade all goodbye
the scene was so crushing and
yet so sublime that words fail to
portray what bleeding hearts felt
in that crisis.
The funeral was held at the Bap.
tist church on Monday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. c. ]. Spiers
and Rev. w. T. Van Horn, and the
body tenderly laid away in High
land cemetery. The funeral was
largely attended by very large
crowd of sympathizing friends.
Music was furnished by a select
ed choir and the floral offerings
were unusually beautiful and num-
erous.
Dorothy was born June 20, 1908;
died April 2, 1910, aged 6 years, 9
months and II days.
Death is always sad, but this
one is doubly so. She was the on
ly child and grandchild in three
families-the pride and JOY and
comfort of parents and grandpar-
ents alike, sweet and precious to
them and countless friends, bright,
witty and lovable and one of the
Creators purest gems. tbs one of
the unsolvable mysteries of life
and death why one so promising
should be taken away so, soon but
it is the way of the Omnipotent
one himself and those whose hearts
are SO sorely wounded have still
the consolat;on that there is no
speculation as to the future, and
we now think of little Dorothy as
one of natures rarest buds, still
dampened with the dew of the
morning transplanted Over There
to blossom and to bloom forever.
Those of us who have shared a
similar grief know how to feeling
ly sympathize with Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall in their exceeding sorrow,
and we would there were some
thing to offer to bring to their bur,
dened hearts healing balm.

Why the Fords Lead

w. @=ss.zssassss~ W.
There are two reasons why more
Ford cars are selling than all 9TH
er machines combined. One rea-
son is that the Ford people have
put the price down to a point with.
IN the reach of all and a Model T.
can be purchased for $3.50 to $500
less than inferior cars of like size
and capacity of other makes sell.
The other and more important
reason is that the Fords can be
operated more cheaply and are
better adapted to this country. C.
n. Marshall, who is handling the
Ford cars, has kept close account
OF the cost of maintaining and oper-
atlng every car he has sold in Bar
Der county and he finds the natural
expenses, barring accident caused
by reckless driving, average as fol-
lows:
Cost of operation, including
gasoline, oil, carbide and repairs,
one cent per mile.
Average cost per'month(o Ordinary
travel) $2.oo.
From observations thus far made
the different items constituting a
years expense of maintaining aud
operating car, ordinary use by
careful drivers, are in figures as
follows:
Sasollne...... ............$IS. 50
Oil......... ............... .....11.oc
Carbide and other expense IS 40
Iotal....................$34
Some are higher and some are
lower, of course, depending on the
miles. travelled and the ability oi
the owner to handle the car, but
this is a fair average.
No heavy car canshow sucha
good record for the simple reason
that the roads of this country
are too rough. Then there is the
additional weight which require:
more power and therefore more
gasoline and oil.
Join the procession-buy a Forc
from G.. N. Marshall today. Ht
has the car right here-you dom
have to wait 80, 90 or 90 day:
to have an order filled.

LAKE COPPER SELLS
 ABOVE A CENTS
EUROPE WANTS GREAT AMOUNT OF METAL DURING THE PRES. ENT YEAR.

BOSTON. Jan. 13.-A middle west ern manufacturer has booked a fair tonnage of Lake copper at 14l-s cent. a pound. This represents the high est level recently touched and brings the price to within a fraction of a cent of the price a year ago.
 Thirty-day eleetrolytic copper is ob. tainable at 13 7-S cents for delivery during the first quarter of the year. while cash payment would secure electrolytic at 13 34 cents. Actual sales of elecrolytic in volume at IA cents have not yet been recorded.
 Private advices just received from London indicate a banner year so far as copper consumption is Europe is concerned They state that England is the one country about which doubt is entertained regarding the future of copper consumption France and Germany are going forward as never before and both of these countries are expected to make new records. Italy and Austria which have been laggards in the procession of recovery are ex. pected to show a very material i'm provement in the consumptive de mands for copper. while from Rus sia also good orders are looked for. The eIecuifieation Of railroads. new tramways and the installation of cleo trical machinery are factors which contribute very heavily to the antici pated demand for copper.

 We are told that the ground in tho vicinity Of the Cole shaft has been yielding a lot of fine ore the past few months and that developments in that quarter are of highly gratifying character, all Of which one might ex- pect when the nature of the ground is taken into consideration.

VALUABLE GEM
 STONE EXISTS
 NEAR PHOENIX
Mining Man Declares He Has Found Kuntzite, but Refuses to Reveal the Location of Mine.

PHOENIX. Jan. I3.-Kuntzite, al valuable gem stone found only, one other place in the United States. has been discovered near Phoenix. accord ing to Frederick Web. a local mining man.
 Mir. Webb refuses to divulge the ex- act location of his find
 Recently Webb passed over this spot and noted thar the formation was one in which associated minerals might be expected to occur At the time. he could not make an examina- ton. Yesterday be returned with a companion, and in a few minutes he had discovered tourmaline and Kunt- zite.
 Webb had become familiar with the Kuntzite formations near San Diego. Cal. and when sis noticed that the rocks he picked up from wide ledge confined lithia mica. he remarked that the place was a good one to look for the new gem.
 In the next rock he examined he saw a tiny piece of kuntz.te. Turning the stone over he saw a large piece and several smaller one. The large one. he estimates. can be cut into 8 gem worth $50.
 He found no other kuntzite, but he Is certnin that it must be there in quantities. That seems reasonable, He started to look for kuntzite. be cause the formation led him to be lieve that it was there, he found it and therefore there should be more of it
 The California kuntzite fields are owned by a few men who absolutely control the market They cannot pro duce enough to supply the demand. The stone was discovered by Fred eric Kuntz. gem expert for Tiffany's the world-famous jewellers. It was after him that the stone was named.
 Kuntzite is the most brilliant stone known, excepting the diamond. It is more valuable than tourmalines. agua- marines or any of the semi-precious stones. The color of the kuntzite found by M-. Webb is something ike that of the amethyst, but deeper and more intense.
 Mir. Webb is not ready to say how soon he will disclose the location of his discovery. He says that the ledge runs along the top af ridge and he plans to put in a string of dynamite charges and blow the ridge to pieces. It is understood that a local jeweler has offered to form a partnership with Mir. Webb for the development and ex- ploitation of his kuntzite mine Mir Webb is well known throughou, Arizona. He formerly lived in Phoe- nix and three years ago was a can didate for the legislature on the re- publican ticket Soon after he went to San Diego, where he remained some time, and later studied mineral formations at the geological museum | in London.

North Butte showed loss due to the fact that the diyi0en,. will very likely be cut to 50 cents. Superior and Pittsburg sold of 1-4.
