COPPER INDUSTRY
 HAS BRIGHT FUTURE.
N. 5. AmSter Of Boston Is In Globe Looking After His Interests
 There.

Globe, March 3O.-N. s. Amster of Boston, president of the Shannon Copper company and the Arizona Commercial company, arrived last night from Clifton, where he has been inspecting the properties of the Shannon company.
 With regard to the future of the copper industry, he expressed himself in optimistic terms. Speaking of the affairs of the National Mining and Exploration company, he said that the payment by that company of all or practically all of it's obligation had had tendency to clear up the situation and leave the Iron Cap com pany, which had taken over the pro- perties, tree field in which to push the work of developing them.
 He said he understood the Iron Cap company was made up of good men of ample means, and he understood work would begin at the mines within few weeks.
 Besides his mining interests MT. Amster has extensive real estate holdings in Globe, which include the Amster building at Broad and Oak streets. the Globe Electric Light and Power company and other properties, all of which will receive his attention before his return to his eastern home two weeks hence.

DEATH OF PIONEER.
Elisha E. Hubbard Passes Away At His
 Home In GiIa Valley.

Elisha F. Hubbard, aged "A years, one of Arizona's noble band of pio- neers, died at his home at Hubbard in the Gila Valley on Tuesday after noon of last week. MT. Hubbard had recently been on visit to Cochi, e county where ne became ill and was brought home by "a son Saturday night. He gradually sank until the end came Tuesday. The cause of death was an abscess of the stomach.
 MT. Hubbard came overland to Ari- zona with his family from Utah over thirty years ago and first settled in the San Carlos valley. Several years later he removed with his family to the Gila valley and located at what is now Hubbard, the town being nam- ed after him. He was a man of great energy and a natural pioneer who braved the dangers of the desert to build his home.

CLIFTON HOP JOINTS ARE
 RAIDED BY OFFICERS
Drag Net Thrown Out and Chinamen,
 Pipes and Opium Are Captured.

Wednesday night U. s. Customs Officer H. s. Creighton dropped into Clifton and registered at the Clifton hotel.
 Thursday morning he went quietly about his business. He interviewed Deputy Marshal Dick Franz and soon Sheriff English and his deputies were called into consultation. The result was that a raid was planned on the Chinese laundries of the city and at three o'clock in the afternoon In- spector Creighton, accompanied by the local officers, commenced a raid on every Chinese habtation on the east side. An officer was posted at the door of each store and laundry conducted by a Chiuaman end the in- mates confined therein while Creigh- ton, deputy sheriff Crawford and Sheriff English began search of the premises. The first place raided by the officers was the Chinese Joss House where two Clay outs" and a can of opium were taken. The next place entered was at the lower end of Main street where a. Chinese wo- man was arrested and four or five pires and two cans of opium were taken by the officers. Other places along Main street were raided also those on Chase creek. Six Chinamen and one Chinese woman were placed under arrest and will have their hear ing before court commissioner Kelly.
 After completing the raid in Cliff ton the officers went to Eorenci on similar mission. Although compara- lively little opium was confscated it is the belief of Inspector Creighton that there is more opium. concealed in Clifton than any other town in the territory.

PRES. FRANK MURPHY
 TALKS STATEHOOD
Says ArizOna'S Constitution Was A Disappointment To Eastern
 Political Friends.

Travelling on Southern Pacific trair No. ? in his own private car. Presi Frank M. Murphy, of the Develop ment Co.,, of America, passed through Tucson at 6.l5 Saturday morning. He was accompanied by R. S. Huse, vice president of the same company.
 MT Murphy and MT. Huse on Wed. nesday completeda a two days inspec- tion of the properties of the Imperial Copper Co.,, at Silver Bell and Sasco. It is stated oD good authority that the resumption of operations by the Imperial company may follow the visit of these two officials of the con- pany which controls the Imperial. Having completed the inspection at Silver Bell and Sasco, the officials went to Tombstone and will inspect the property of the Tombstone Con- solidated Company which the Dev- elopment Company of America also owns.
 Earl H. Parker, who was in charge of the Port LObos survey work, was also with the two officials and the Port Lobos road was also discussed. Information was given out that the company will begin construction on the Port LObos line as soon as condi- tions in Mexico are such that the work will not be interfered with.
 Several things have happened in Arizona since Mir. Murphy was last here. One of them is the proposed Constitution, concerning which MT. Murphy had something to say.
 q do not hesitate to say," remark ed MT Murphy. that if the people of Arizona had adopted a consefva- tive constitution as the east had ex- pee ed they would, millions of dol lars would have poured into the new state for investment in various enter prises. Millions would have come in- to the Salt River Valley Conditions throughout this country just now are not such as to encourage investment. The men who have money are pre- a waiting attitude and it will be some time before they will become reconciled to the new conditions great deal of money is going out of the country, to Russia. China and other foreign countries money whose owners would have pre- ferred it invested at home.
 "The record of Arizona for conser- vatism was in its favor. It was gen. orally believed that this record would be maintained in the formation of ArizOna's constitution.

hip and fired the second shot, which went wild. The next two shots went off together, both men taking aim with deadly eject.
 The news of the double killing at Morenci reached Clifton early Friday morning. It was the sole topic of con- versation on the streets Friday and a number of citizens of Clifton secured horses and went to Morenci to learn the particulars. The story of the kill ing was to the same effect. It resulted from quarrel and that Johnson fired the first shot, There were two shots fired by each man, the second shots both taking effect.
 Johnny Patty. Billy Hart and All berto Munguia, who were at Metcalf awaiting for Scott to join them early Friday morning, upon hearing of the tragedy, left immediately for the Scott ranch to notify the wife Of the de- ceased and escort her to Morenci. At the time of going to press the funeral arrangements have not yet been made, awaiting advices from relatives in Texas
 Mir. Scott leaves wife. to whom he had been married only a few years. and father and other relatives who live at Carlsbad, N. M.
 MT. Scott had but recently bought the SIeiger ranch on Squaw creek, where he and Johnny Patty were partners and where Mrs. Scott was at the time of the killing. A messenger was sent to her at once bearing the sad news
 Len Scott was 8 native of Texas and came 10 Morenci about five years ago and by his energy and industry, good nature and kindness soon gath cred about him host of friends and opportunities A little over four years ago he was appointed deputy sheriff of Morenci by Sheriff Anderson, and filled the office until the. expiration of Anderson's two terms.
 There is a feeling of sadness and gloom cast over the whole district on account of his untimely death and in the prime of life, just as fortune appeared to begin smiling on him.
 Johnson was a man about 95 years old and had been reared in Graham county. He bore good reputation and was industrious and hardwork- ing. He has brother, Charles, and two sisters, Mrs Wgiht of Clifton and Mrs. Short of Guthrie

COURT MAKES FINAL
 AWARD OF $6S,OOO.
Arizona Supreme Tribunal DispOses of Long Standing GIeesOn
 Mine Suit.

Bisbee, April In a decision
 handed down Monday the supreme court of Arizona reaffirmed its former decision in the case of Ryan Brothers
 vs. Tevis and McKittrick in which damages to the extent of S68,0 were awarded the plaintiffs.
 This case which has been in the courts of the territory for several years grew out of what the Ryans claimed was a breach of contract on the part of Messrs. Tevis and McKit- trick in dealings in connection with the Turquois Mine and Shelter com pany at Gleeson. Some years ago all of the parties connected with the suit were stockholders in that company, the Ryans holding the controlling in- terest. The company became involved and its property was about to be disposed of by the sheriff's sale when to save it the Ryans turned the control over to Messrs. Tevis and McKittrick, with the understanding that they were to hold it for two years, during which time they were to follow a definite plan of improve ment or it was to revert to the RyaDs.
 At the end of the two years the Ryan brothers claimed that not only had the defendants failed to do the things agreed on, but had also reor- ganized the company in such a man. ner as to freeze them out entirely, and on this proposition they instituted suit for damages of sl0O. .OOO on breach of contract. The amount of damages claimed was later changed to S2O0, 1000. When the case came up for trial in the fall of 1908 change of venue was taken from Cocffise county to Maricopa county and it was tried in December of that year before Judge Kent and the jury awarded a verdict of Sl32, 900 to the Ryans.
 An appeal was taken and in April 1910 the supreme court affirmed the finding of the jury in the lower court, but reduced the amount of the judge ment to S64 ,0O0, claiming that as the Ryans had been stockholders of the mining company at all times the amount of damages allowed was excessive. Both parties to the suit immediately asked a rehearing of the case, and the decision just rendered is the result of this rehear- inp.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.
Chaotic Condition Faces National Law makers..-New York Tribune View
 of Statehood.
ESPECIAL TO THE COPPER ERA)

ESPECIAL TO THE COPPER ERA
 Washington, D C., April 3.-Con- gress opens with a condition admit tedly chaotic, and predictions regard ing it's course in the coming session are necessarily largely speculative. Present indications, however. seem to forecast protracted, tedious and unsatisfactory session, although it is assumed in most quarters that the principal object for which Congress has been reconvened-that of passing Canadian reciprocity, will be realized. The Democrats have designs on the tariff, and much of the debate in store will deal with that great question. Just how far tariff revision will be attempted cannot be foretold. When Canadian reciprocity was sprung on the people, and immediately follow ing the protests of lumbermen, there was issued a government bulletin covering the entire subject of lumber ing operations. In view of the fact that all critics of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, find their great cause of grievance in the woolen schedule, and as it is known that President Taft is not adverse to remOdeling this part of the present tariff law, it may be significant that on the day of the opening of Congress there appears preliminary report issued by the Census Bureau, on the condition of woolen and worsted goods. There are but few leading Democrats who go so far as to advocate general tariff revision, but most members of that party insist that there be some sort of legislation along this line, if for no other reason than to let the country know that they are sincere in their declarations for new schedules. Statehood for New Mexico and Ari- zona appears to have been digested by Members of Congress and by the press. The question has been given particular consideration in this cor respondence, and the efforts of Dele gates Cameron and Andrews, which at all times have been active and consistent with conditions, have been noted, and the warm approval of the work of these gentlemen which one hears in every part of the Capital has been chronicled. As this letter leaves Washington there is nothing new in the situation, but there may be before the correspondence comes to the eye of the readers. The New York Tribune has published the fol- lowing paragraph:
 "The Democratic leaders affirm their determination to secure early of the constitution of Ari- zona and New Mexico, and Senator Owen may be expected to support this proposition with vigor, if only with the hope of allaying the suspicion of his colleagues that his efforts in this direction and his flibuster against the sundry civil bill in the last session, were actuated by a de- termination to deprive the Depart ment of Justice of the funds needed defendant. Having so far com mitted in opposition to the Arizona as to resign from the there was stout string tied to the resigDation-Senato Bailey will unquestionably feel it in- cumbent on him to oppose his Oklahoma colleague, and a protracted debate on "the recall" as applied to the judiciary by the Arizona instru- ment seems inevitable.
