In 1906 lightning killed only l69 peo-
pie i'll this whole country, Ones chances

liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly
greater, but not il Electric Btters be

LYONS CLAIM
AGAINST STOREY

AT IFS last regular me ng the Lyon
County Board of County Commits
sioners had the Clerk and Recorder
look up the amount of money due Lyon
county by Storey on the tax suit case
which was recently decided in favor OF
Lyon by the Supreme Court of the State.
The total amount of the bill presented to
Storey is S2, ,69l .09. The original amount
of the judgment is 81 ,S54 SIS, and the in
terest from March IS, 1905, to Novem.
Der 8, 1911, at the rate of per cent is
1886. a.
According to the Virginia Chronicle,
the Storey county people are not certain
about this amount and have asked Lyon
county to make an itemized bill of the
account.
While the amount of the bill was sup
posed to be larger by Lyon county, il
appears that the Storey people think ii
is too large, and are going to ask for a
detailed statement of the whole indebt.
edness
Lyon county will ask for no more than
is Justly due her, but that she is surely
entitled to. If the costs have been
heavy i'll this case Storey is the only one
to blame i'll the matter, as it was she
who kept the case in the courts for five
or six years.

COPPER REPORT
A REAL PIPPIN

The monthly report of the Copper
Producers Association, which was sub
mtted on the 10th of this month is a
real pippin. 1t showed that the total
reserve supply of copper on hand now
amounts to Ill ,7S5, 900 pounds, as COM
pared to reserve of l34, 997 900 pounds
held in hand on November 1st.
This represents the smallest reserve
supply reported in this country for over
three years, and proves conclusively that
all of the favorable statements which
have been made about the present con-
dition of the copper business have been
under rather than over r-estimated.
The figures for the month of Novem-
Der show a production of i'll, 900, coo
ton amounted to 6S, 900, 600 pounds, for
eign consumption, 81 600 600 pounds,
making total of 135, ,0S9, 600 pounds OF
copper which were delivered The re-
port goes long way to substantiate the
sales which were reported as having oc-
CURED during the month.
Figures show that there is now on
hand less than a months supply of cop
per metal.
One of the leading selling agencies OF
copper metal amounts that copper is not
only being held firm at 154c, but they
have none to offer at that price. He
says: The outlook for the metal is
very favorable, and believe that it will
not be long until prices will be quoted
at l33c per pound. -

CITY NAY SELL SHORT NOTES.
Chamberlain Hyde Points Out . Lone
standing Waste Of Money

City Chamberlain Hyde wrote yesterday
to Mayor Gaynor. pointing out the anoma-
lous condition which prevails whereby
the city. although it has many millions
Of idle capital in the banks. is obliged to
borrow money in anticipation Of taxation
for current expenses This money is
raised by issuing revenue bonds and the
interest paid on The - bonds ranges be-
tween "a and a.. per cent. while the
interest the banks pay on the city's de-
posits is only per cent
The reason why the city cannot draw
upon its deposits in the banks for emer-
gency purposes is that the deposits are
the proceeds OF sales OF corporate stock
issued for specific purposes and can he
used for those purposes only.
The Mayor sent Mr.. Hyde's letter to
Comptroller Prendergast and after read
ing it MIR. Prendergast drafted bill TO
he presented to the Legislature permit
ting the Finance Department to issue
short notes in anticipation Of sales OF
corporate stock. These notes will run
for not more than a year and their re-
demption will he provided for from the
proceeds Of the next succeeding sale Of
stock after the issue Of the notes
Mr. Prendergast said yesterday that
should the measure he passed it would
permit the city To borrow short time
money at lower rate Of interest than il
Is now paying and would also avoid the
necessity Of carrying so large balances
in the banks
