OR A LAKELAND WIFE!

If you are a married woman, and
were asked to tell just what you

Land, what figure would you name ?
The question is not fanciful one
by any means, but has been a sub

1t was this way: The wife of an
Iowa farmer bought gallon of what
Eurported to be Kerosene, but which
was afterward shown to be u

used some of lit to start fire with,
the stuff exploded. and she was
burned to death and her three chill
dren were seriously injured. The
womans husband sued the dealers
for damages, and the jury awarded
him $25 for the loss of his wife and
$2?9.7l per child on account of in.

that a woman was not worth So. for

PUBLIC GAMBLING WILL NOT BE PERMITTED

The attempt this week to run open gambling games in the Town of Cliff ton, a fragrant violation of the law, came to the usual end. The violators were placed under arrest and fined. If the practice is persisted in not on ly the proprietors of the games and the dealers will be summarily dealt with, but the District Attorney has made the announcement that the play CTS also will be included in the arrests which are sure to follow. Proprietors of saloons, or buildings where gamb- ling is carried on, are equally gull ty and can be brought within the law It would be well for all con- cerned to bear in mind that the laws of Arizona, as written in our statutes, will be enforced regardless of the der eliction of duty of any local officers. Disregard of the law in the manner attempted this week will not be tol- erated There are no exemptions from violation of the law. It applies to all and there can be no exceptions.

COPPER

lead ores, is equal in value to that of lead or zinc. Owing largely to the prosperity of the gold, copper, and lead mining industries there was an output of silver in 1911 estimated at 57,796,117 fine ounces, which is 2,1S2,- 997 ounces more than the average an. nual output of 55,613,12 ounces of the preceding decade and 65S,217 oun- ces more than the output of 1910.
 Aside from the important production from the milling of the silver-gold ores of the mines at Tonopah, Nevada, the bulk of the silver output is de- rived from the smelting of crude cop per, lead and mixed ores and con centrates, chiefly from Montana, Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Arizona and Cal ifornia According to the Mint figures the production increased from all these States except Montana, Arizona, and Colorado. In Colorado the pro- duction of all metals except zinc de creased. Increased copper production in Alaska added notably to the silver output of that Territory. Final fig ures will probably show increased pro- duction of silver from Arizona instead of a decrease and possibly little change in California
 Preliminary figures compiled by the Director of the Mint indicate total domestic production of silver of ST., 796, ,117 fine ounces in 1911, valued at $31, ,7S7,S66. The production in 1910- was 57,137,900 fine ounces of com mercial value of $3O,S54,5 ,5OO.
 The average price of silver in 1911 was 53 cents per fine ounce, a de- crease of 1 cent from that of 1910. The year began with silver near 54 cents, but the price declined to 52 cents in February and f1uctuated between 52 and 54 cents until November, when it rose sharply to about 56 cents, declin- ing to an average of 55 cents for the closing month of the year. Specu- lation, chiefly in the Indian and Chin csc markets, was the cause of the rise, and with the present disturbed conditions in the Far East the market may remain uncertain for some time.
 According to estimates made by the Bureau of Statistics the imports of silver in 1911 were valued at $27,450,-
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-01-19

900 in foreign ore, $12,s50,O0O in for eign bullion, s2,15O,0O0 in United States coin-a total of $43, ,S0O,O ,O0O. The exports of silver during the same year were valued at s135,0OO, in do- mestic ore, ..65, ,0OO; foreign ore, s59,- 0O0,000 in domestic bullion, $4,75O, ,OOO in foreign bullion, $10O,OOO in United States coin, and $6OO,OOO in foreign coin, total of s64,65O,OOO or $2O,s5O,- 900 in excess of the value of the im- ports.
 In 1910, the value of the excess of exports over imports of silver was S11, ,4S2,SO5; in 1909 It was $11, ,4O4 ,6O7 and in 1908 it was $9,613,541. Previ- ous to 1908 it had not been below $15,OO0,OOO for several years
 The imports of silver in 1911 were as usual, chiefly in ore and bullion and came mainly from Mexico and Canada. The exports were almost wholly in ore and bullion and went, as usual, chiefly to the United Kingdom and in smaller amounts to Hong Kong and France.

THE DIsTRicT ATTORNEY AND THE BOARD

The course adopted by the Board of Supervisors at it's fast session, in disregarding the legal opinion of the District Attorney in his official capac- ity as legal adviser of the Board of Supervisors as to their official acts, is one calculated to plunge the Coun- ty ana s'ae individual members of the Board into a litigation. On two occas- ions the Board swept the District At torney to one side and arbitrarily fol lowed course in opposition to. his opinion as to the legality of their ac- -tion.
 While there is no law compelling the Board of Supervisors to follow the advice of the District Attorney, where questions of law are concerned, still it is the general supposition that the District Attorney is better quail fled to advise the Board as to the le- gality of their actions than any mem- Der of the Board.
 In the event that suits are institut- ed against the county by reason of the arbitrary action of the Board, the District Attorney is, to say the least, placed in an embarrassing position, by reason of having previously deliv- cred an opinion contrary to the ac- ton of the Board.
 The term of the present board is now of short duration, but the respon- sibility of the County and the respon- sibility of the individual members of the Board does not cease with the ex- piration of their present tenure of office.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-01-19
CONTROVERSY CROPS OUT AGAIN

The controversy between the Board of Supervisors on the one hand and F. A. Sanders, Auditor in the employ of the three large mining companies in Greenlee county on the other, again cropped out at the last meeting in the form of a resolution instructing the District Attorney to use legal methods to prevent the Auditor from examin- ing the county records on the ground that he had defaced said records and was not a fit person to be permitted to examine same. This is simply an other chapter in what the public has come to look upon as ''child's play. By the resolution adopted at the last meeting the Board says: You can't play in our back yard no more" The next scene in this unwarranted con- er's court on Jany. 25th, when MT. Sanders will appear to answer to the silly charge of defacing and altering public records. It all has the appear ance of ''tit for tat'' and at present Sanders is IT but according to all re- ports the last inning has not yet been played. Because MT. Sanders has been accused in Justice Court of defacing and altering public records is no sign that he is guilty within the meaning of the statutes. These changes were made at the time he was acting as County Auditor employed by the Board of Supervisors and one con- plaint covers the correction of an er- roneous total on the blotter in the of fee of the County Recorder. The Era was in hopes that this senseless, per sonal controversy would be stopped. There is too much of the spirit of ''get even. manifested before any wrong doing has been established,
