The Northwestern
Policy

A life insurance policy in the
Northwestern cannot take the place
of a husband, but it can preserve
the family from want; it can light
en- their load OF care; it can build a
barrier to the a%lmshouse or against
adversely; it can lay the foundation
OF home and independence, it can
certify to a mans affectionate re-
gard for his family; it can place his
WIDOW above the need Of marrying
for a home. it can add to a mans
years by freeing him from anxiety
about the future of his family; and
it can heighten the esteem in which
his wife and children hold him.

FIytrap Patent is Sold For $4,000.

Bisbee, Aria fly tray which will
catch flies and hundreds of them al
that, and holding them safely, is the
invention which has netted Joseph
Kress, a well known miner of Bisbee,
the neat sum of s25, 1000, .eastern in.
terests, understood to be connected
with the New York Life insurance
company, being the purchasers. The
trap is protected by United States
lnd several foreign patents.
Mr. Kress, who is an inventive
genius, has been working upon the
trap for several years, and obtained
the patent papers for it in this coun-
try several years since. He then
went about patenting it abroad in
order to protect himself. He also
took up negotiations with several
different capitalists which resulted
finally in his interesting the pros
pective buyers to such extent that
the deal was closed, according to re-
port.
The trap, which is rather a large
affair, has been thoroughly tested in
this hy-ridden city and proved an en-
tire success. The contrivance is
about three feet long, rising from
solid wooden base, in the shape of
very narrow inverted V. The frame
work is covered with screen netting
of the same grade as that used in
covering doors and windows. The
secret of the trap consists of the
puzzling nature of the entrance to
the flies, thousands of which are
caught in a few hours
1t is understood that the traps are
to be manufactured in large numbers
in the east and exploited all over
the country. 1t is understood, how
ever, that he has sold his patent out

extensively explore and develop the
property before the question of re-

came into prominence rece ntly when

into.
The Eleanor Placer company at

this county, has completed the con-
struction of a large dam and the
reservoir is rapidly filling with water.
Operations will probably be started

started on others. At the United
Verde Extension the body of ore
opened up in drift at the 800-foot
level continues as one solid ore body,
getting better with each shot. In
the west drift the hanging wall has
been followed for a distance of 100
feet, the work being in ore the entire
distance. The extent of this ore
body is unknown.
The work of unwatering the shafts
and drifts of the Jerome-Verde mine
is continued with p small pump pend

which will be installed in few days.
When this is done the shaft will be
sunk to a much greater depth.
Work has been resumed at the

LOrdsbure has two Murders.

The murder of two men in most
primitive fashions in Lordsburg is re-
ported by Fred Dollarhide, freight
brakeman on the east end, who has
just arrived in the city from his run.
Both crimes occurred on Wednesday
within a few hours of each other.
In fight between two Mexicans,
one threw a stone at the other, strik-
ing him in the middle of the forehead
and killing him instantly. A heavy
conclusion of the brain resulted from
the blow.
Two others engaged in a battle in
which fists were first used. Suddenly
one drew a miners candlestick, stab
bed his opponent to the heart with
the sharp point, withdrew it, and
stabbed him again as deeply and with.
in half an inch of the original wound,
before the injured man had time to

100, 100000 Pounds of Copper Sold to
London.

For some time past the price OF
copper has been considerably less
than l3 cents. per pound, and at this
price some of the producers and
dealers sold; but no very large de-
livery contracts have been made for
some time. Not long ago the 10 ndon
preventative of the United Metals
Selling company was in New York in
consultation with John D. Ryan of
the Amalgamated Copper company,
when the London man stated that his
company was in the market for 100,-
100000 pounds of copper. Mr.. Ryan
stated that the price would be
straight 19 cents. There was no deal.
U. H. Broughtou, the head of the
United Metals Selling company,
reached London a week ago. John
D. Ryan left this city in time 10 reach
London on the 18th inst. The best
information to hand is that the
Amalgamaled expects Mr.. Ryan to
close the sale at 13 cents. 1t is be-
lieved that the recent low price of
copper in London was made for Mr..
Ryan's benefit. But his company has
held firm for the 13 cents.
If, as is now believed, this sale is
made on basis of 13 cents. the cop
per industry would at once be remark
ably stimulated. AS the order for
this large amount of the metal was
from q ruro har Of continental firms
it is believed that the price of l3
cents per pound will be obtained; in
which event it is anticipated that the
price will maintain at that figure for
some time aud then will slowly go up
to the neighborhood of 10 cents.

The Fight Pictures Contracted For In
Advance.

San Francisco.-Jack Johnson has
sold his share in the motion pictures
in his coming fight with James j.
Jefries for $4,000, the purchaser of
the pictures was the Vitagraph COM
pany.
Tex Richard and Jack Gleason,
promoters of the fight, agreed to sell
their share for $4,000 as soon as
Jeffries signs the agreement to let
his third go for the same amount.
Jefries had signi6ed his willingness a
week ago, but Sam Berger declined
and spared for time, Johnson al
ready has received payment in con-
sideration of the sale.
The pictures will be rushed east on
a special train following the fight
and will be developed en- route on a
specially arranged car. They will be
produced in New York for the first
time on the Monday following the
fight.
