.EIKNER STILL IN
SHERIFF'S CUSTODY

Judge Averill, of Tonopah, held court
here on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of this week, the three days being
taken up mainly with the Eikner habeas
corpus case. The contention of Eikner S
attorneys is that there was not enough
evidence before the grand jury to war
rant an indictment for murder in the
first degree, which the jury rendered.
The crime of murder in the first degree
is not balable and Eikner desires the
charge reduced so that he can furnish
bail and get out of Jail. There was moth
ing sensational in the case this week,
the testimony being about the same as
at the coroner's inquest and the former
hearing. The witnesses for the State
were ]. B. Eckert, J. II. Durbin and c.
A. Porter, and those for the defense,
Henry Mortesen, V. S. Grafam, J. F.
SHUTTER, A. S. Phipps, Mrs. Bracken-
bush, H. B. Leach, Roxy Moore and
G.. T.. Leavitt, A number of the latter
were also used as witnesses for the
plaintiff Mr. Eikner also testified in
his own behalf At the conclusion of
the argument of the attorneys Judge
Averill very promptly gave his decision
dismissing the writ and remanding
Eikner to the custody of the Sheriff
without bail. The trial of Eikner will
probably come up very soon, as it is un-
derstood that he is anxious to have the
matter disposed of.
Mrs. S. A. Gillespie, of Tonopah.
acted as stenographer and court reporter
and the testimony is all to be transcribed
by her for future use, at the expense Of

the soft woods will come from the
Feather River section and the gypsum

plant has been enlarged over the original
plans to accommodate the orders that

Piling for Ditch Headgate

The Spragg and Woodcock Ditch Co.
is now making some substantial repairs
at the head of its ditch. At the point
where the ditch is taken from the river
there are two channels, with an island
between. AT high water the east chan
mel has heretofore run so full that it
damaged the head of the ditch by flood
ing it, and sent flood of water down
through the town that the ditch was not
able to handle. A row of 25-foot piles
is now being driven to cut off the east
channel in the river and keep the water
i'll the west channel, its original course.
A new headgate will be put in the ditch
and there will then be no more trouble
with high water in this ditch.

good commercial value has been, so far,
opened up, and the ore also carries good

this property to the railroad point of

CONTRA COSTA A
HUGE FERRY BOAT

The Southern Pacific company's steam
er Solano, which has ferried thousands
of trains every year since 1879 across the
Carquinez Straits between Port Costa
and Benicia, California, and which has
been known all of these years as the
largest ferry-boat in the world, is to lose
its famous appellation. It's successor to
the title will be the ferry steamer Contra
Costa, now being constructed in the
Oakland shipyards of the Southern Pa
cihc. The building of the old Central
Pacific railroad across the great west
and the steamer Solano are today two of
the favorite topics of the California po-
neers.
The, Solano is not to be retired from
service, however Both the old and the
new boats will carry the transcontinental
trains across the narrow straits that sep
arate Carquinez and San Pablo bays.
The Contra Costa, while the general
dimensions do not vary materially from
those of the Solano, will be slightly
larger. 1t is being constructed of Ore
gon pine and will be placed in placed in
service Immediately upon its completion
The length over all will be 433 feet,
inches, and the width ll6 feet. It's ton-
mage will be $500 tons The most rad
ical difference between this new steamer
and the Solano will be the location of
the engines. Instead of being propelled
by one engine, located in the center of
the boat there will be two independent
engines of $500 horsepower each, To-
Gated below the main deck, one engine
for each paddle-wheel. Steam will be
supplied from eight dryback Scotch
boilers.
There will be four parallel tracks IL
foot centers, on the Contra Costa. These
tracks will be absolutely straight OH the
deck of the boat, there being no deck
houses i'll the center of the steamer to
require curve, as on the Soano. Its
capacity will be SO freight cars and two
locomotives, or "a passenger coaches
and two locomotives. The present
/ aprons and slips of both Benicia and
4 Port Costa terminals will remain as they
now are, the guard-lines of the new
steamer being identical with those of the
Solano. The Contra Costa will be pro-
vided with cafe and bar on the main
deck, also a waiting room for local pas
sengers.

CHEERING OUTLOOK
FOR THE RED METAL

The mines of the world will produce
about l,925, 100000 pounds of copper
this year. an increase of approximately
20, 900, 600 ponnds over 1910, and the
world will consume approximately 2, ,225.
005, 900 pounds more than comes out of
the ground. OF this 300, 900, 900 pounds
excess consumption a little less than
100, 900, 600 pounds will be absorbed
from the surplus supplies and about
200, 900, 600 pounds will represent the
old copper which will return to the
market and be remelted.
Since 1906, when the scarcity of cop
per caused an abnormal advance in
prices, the worlds daily total output has
increased only about $50, 00O, 900 pounds
the average gain having been under so, =
600, 900 pounds, or less than per cent
annually. From 1901 to 1906 there was
an increase of 440, 600, 600 pounds, or
about per cent annually. 1t is plain,
therefore, that a rapid growth of output
does not put the price of copper down
nor does a slowing up of the production
increase cause the price of the metal to
advance.
Two factors control the price of copper,
as of all other commodities, and that is
production and consumption. The
former is not subject to as great fuctua-
tions as the latter.
Consumption lags when general bust
ness is dull. and usually year or two
later, with the resumption of world wide
industrial development, the demand for
copper suddenly assumes such tremend-
Gus proportions that it absorbs all exist
ing supplies and new production and
forces prices up to an almost prohibitive
level
Whatever increases in production there
NAV be from established mines will be
more than offset by decreases in the out
put of others. The world is facing an
era of copper scarcity-unless there is to
be universal business prostration. New
mines are not being developed and
equipped fast enough now to provide for
the normal future growth of consump-
ton.
a decade or two ago it was figured
that consumption would readily absorb a
10 per cent yearly increase of production.
To provide this 10 per cent now we must
be prepared to give the world new Cal
umet and Hecla, Nevada Consolidated
and United Verde every year and with
in few years new Lake Superior or a
Butte district annually-Boston Tran
script.

We are SO positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish the medicine at our ex-
pense should it fail to produce satisfac-
tory results
1t is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
LaXatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction rritate and
weaken the bowels and tend to make
constipation more chronic Besides,
their use becomes a habit that is dan
gerous.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect permanent relief YOU must therefore
tone up and strengthen these organs
and restore them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderies
on our recommendation. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten
like candy, and are ideal for children,
delicate persons and old folks, as well a;
for the robust. They act directly on th
nerves and mus-l of the bowels. The,
apparently have neutral action on othel
associate organs or glands. They do
not purge, cause excessive looseness,
nor create any inconvenience whatever.
They may be taken at any time, day or
night. They will positively relieve
chronic or habitual constipation, if not
of surgical variety, and the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic ailments,
if taken with regularity for a reasonable
length of time. II tablets, 10 cents; SO
