 al weeks to the effect that the Hum-
 holdt smelter, located at Humboldt. Yavapai county, is about to close
 down, seem to he confirmed by the
 positive statement that such ac-
 ton will be ta ken within short
 time This will he severe blow
 to Yavapai interests in more ways than one. It. will seriously affect
 the copper mining business in that county and it will be grave matter
 for the families Of the 100 employees of the concern.
 The last time the Humboldt was started was within a year, and it was said at that time that a long and steady run was in prospect.
 For time things seemed going we'll but lately there have been ru- mors of difficulties and the report from what is bslieved to he an ab. solutely reliable source that work at the plant will cease within a short time.
 The Humboldt is an indepent-
 en, concern and is one of the most important industries of Yavapai County.

ORIGIN Of Common phrase.

We owe the word "catchpenny" to
publisher of the name Of Catchpin
After a celebrated murder trial in
1924, when the assassin had been exc
cuted for the murder Of Weare. this
man hit upon the bright idea ofIissu.
ing a penny ballad entitled Eve Are
Alive Again" People Jumped to the
conclusion that the title was "Weare
Alive Again and as it sold like Wild
fire to the extent Of two and half
million copies; hence a "Catchpin'' or
''catchpenny" affair came to signify
hoax of that kind. Incidentally 1t
may be remarked that the ingenious
Catchpin succeeded In catching two
and half million pennies!
