Just found out that the changes in

George L. Walker. one of the best
of eastern authorities on the copper
situation throughout the entire world
who left here on Thursday last after
an inspection of the mines and the
reduction plant at McGill, said this:
1.-The metal situation has turned
for the BETTER said Mr.. Walker.
The market exchange prices relate
to the lower grades of copper, Stand
ard copper while the Lake and Elec-
trolytic are naturally higher because
they are the higher grades which are
used in any manufacturing or cleo
trio purpose. The recent improve
ment in the statistical situation of
copper is due TO the steady increased
consumption"
All of which is sufficient to es-
tablish the uttermost confidence in
the Robinson district, for the reason
that whatever affects while deliveries
are becoming more confined is good
news for any copper district. II
means to a copper producer that
better times are right ahead. and TO
this district IL means that the days of
worry are over. and that the time has
arrived when We can look forward
to the immediate future for, the full
flment of the glorious promise of the
boom time of four years ago.

UNWARRANTED, UNFAIR AND
UNTRUE.

A woman of the under world
came to the district a few week ago
to recover her property which had
been taken oyer by the county, be-
cause nobody could be found who
was foolish enough to buy it in. The
woman was Belle London, notorious
in Salt Lakes tenderloin, and the
property was the Alamo rooming
house. The property had been Of
fered for sale for the delinquent
axes. and because nobody would
buy it the county had TO take it in
for the moun of the taxes The
method OF assessment was found to
be illegal, the advertisement was IL
legal, and the attorneys of the dis
trict who looked over the proffering
would have nothing TO do with 1t for
the reason that they knew that the
county could not give a title to it.
When the woman arrived here she
had a poser for the commissioners.
The county had absolutely no title to
the property it WIS holding. The
district attorney so instructed the
commission, and there We're several
sessions, but Mrs. Topham, or Belle
London, proffered the amount of
money due for taxes with cost of
advertising and interest. OF course
the board wasted no time in useless
discussion; they assented to her
proposition, and il must be emphasiz-
ed that the mistake of assessment
and advertising was not that of the
board. 1t seems hat there was a
meeting in the room of the woman,
and the Exposition. in an editorial on
Thursday night would make II appear
that the chairman of the commits
sion went alone to the room of Belle
London, and that because of what
occurred there, a concession was
made to the owner of the Alamo.
The facts are that the concession
was made by the woman; and the
concession Injured to the benefit of
the county. But the further facts
are that Chairman Wheeler went to
the room of Mrs. Topham accompani-
ed by two other men, one of whom
was the district attorney. 1t was
purely a business meeting. The ed
itorial of the Expositor was written
evidently with a desire TO besmirch
the character of Mr.. Wheeler, for the
reason, perhaps, that the political
views of Mr.. Wheeler do not meet

THE COPPER SITUATION.

Three copper authorities IN the
United States, all of whom are so
we'll known that their statements
cannot be impugned, are forward
with the assurance that the copper
situation has improved. and their
u%tterances are grist in the mill OF
this district. Wiggin and Elwell,
the well known brokers of Boston
have the following to say in regard
TO the metal situation
Copper prices continue to hold
very strong. 1t is the opinion of
one of the largest sellers of manufac-
tured copper that the present dull
ness has a great deal to do with the
fact that smelters have bought nearly
all of their copper for August and
September deliveries. In the mean
time all the selling agencies of the
country are apparently in perfect
harmony and there has been no pres
sure from any quarter to sell copper
in large amounts. The feature OF
the situation this week was the Pro-
ducers' statement which was very
satisfactory at first sight. showing a
decrease of 19,695,30 pounds in
visible supply. Domestic de-
liveries were not very satisfactory
but the large exports more than OFF
set this deficiency. The statement
showed the refinery output in July
to be at a daily average rate of less
than any month since the statements
were commenced with the exception
of January 1909. We know that
the statements were begun, there
fore, it is quite reasonable to expect
an unusually 'arge production in
August, but we are inclined TO be-
lieye that deliveries will Offset this
and that there will be a still further
decrease in the surplus for the month
of August The features for the
past year have been our shipments
of copper to Germany and Holland,
nearly all of which is for German
consumption. 1t is not generally
realized hat we have shipped no.
900 900 pounds more to these two
countries the past twelve months
than We did in 1910; nor is 1t realiz-
ed that we have shipped 100000
pounds more to France. 1t Is quite
probable that a possible war between
these two countries has had some
thing to do with these tremendous
exports and also caused the large
Withdrawals of copper from the visi-
Bile supply in those countries for
legitimate purposes"
Goodwin's Weekly has this to say
of the situation:
For two successive months copper
production has disminished and de-
l~iveries have exceeded output. The
curtailment. policy seems to be in
full force and effect and the stock of
unsold metal is gorwing beautifully
less. But the same wires that
brought the copper producers state
ment for July bore the intelligence
that the first lot of copper to be ex-
ported from the Alaskan mines of the
G~uggenheims was being loaded at
Seattle for Europe. Locally it was
asserted that the Utah Copper COM
pany is preparing to increase by two
million pounds its production for the
next quarter of the year. The Alas
kan shipment was no childish prank;
Ii consisted of 1000 tons. two mill
lion pounds, worth about s25O,00O
That Is precisely the amount the
Utah Copper is expected to raise its
ante in July, August and September.

a great compliment to be thought of
or mentioned in that high connection
by my fellow citizens.
The victory Of last November was
won on the fight that was made by the
House democrats against Cannonism,
the rules and the Payne tariff bill. That
was great victory; we not only elect

to office with us half a dozen democra-

result or 1t, the party placed me In the
most responsible position It had to give
MY duty is here helping the House tc
make good, and l am going to stay
here as long as there is anything for
me to do. In other words, am not GO
ing to neglect the work here in order
to run around the country after anoth-
er office. l regard the record we are
making in our democratic House as
superb. We are busy carrying out our
promises to the people and we will
continue on that line.
L thank you for the kind things you
say about me and am glad TO observe
that you are pleased with the way the
democrats are demonstrating their ca
pacity to run the House. They can run
all branches Of the government just as
successfully If given the opportunity

OoRE MURDERED FOR MONEY
NOBODY KNOWS Bv WHOM

Mitchell, $. d., July 1.-THE body Of
Jonn Dore, who was murdered I'm a Sc
GUIDED part of the city a week ago, was
shipped back to Lyndon Station, Wis.
A brother, Daniel Dore, arrived and ac-
companied the remains. DIR. Dore stated
that his brother left Lyndon Station on
July 2. and evidently came direct to
TINS city. He stated that before leav-
ing he had disposed OF property which
brought him $500, OF which $500 was in
cash. Mr. Dore cannot throw any light
on the mystery as to who committed
the murder. The name OF Dan Finne-
gan, appearing in the book found on
Dore's body. is absolved from all pos
sible connection with the incident, as
he had not been in the company OF the
dead man for four years, and is now
living In Michigan. Dore was here q
day before he was murdered. Two
saloonkeepers testified at the coroner's
inquest that they saw him In their
places on Tuesday. and the supposltien
is that he was killed in the early part
of the evening OF the Fourth OF July.

farming. A part OF the tract was well

side of the strip was fall plowed, that
on the other side was spring plowed.
