HAS FOUND IDEAL"
 COPPER MINE AT LAST
Phoenix Newspaper Un- earthS the Pattern
 of Perfection

Tt affords me some degree of pleasure, on this occasion, to say, Il told you so."
 The speaker was l.. J. Bonsall, a well known mining engineer, who has made Phoenix his home for many years. Continuing, Mir. Bonsall said:
 Tn an interview with you seven CT eight years ago l said, Watch the Superior coutry. It will become as famous for its copper production as Silver King was for its silver produc. ton and now it is coming into its own"
 Mir. Bonsan had special reference to the old Silver Queen mine, now known as the Magns.t It is situated twenty. seven miles northeast Of Florence, in Pinal county, about sixty-flve miles east of Phoenix and two and a half miles south ot the old Silver King, at what is now known as the town of Superior. The Silver Queen was To. cated during the palmy days of the silver excitement in and around the Silver King. It was patented and lay dormant for twenty-five or thirty years, like many good Arizona properties The present owners finally got hold of 1t and eventually began development
 It sounds like big talk, but MT Bonsali IS authority for the statement that 1t is now demonstrated to be the biggest copper mine in the world. He says the owners are shipping in car load lots ore that goes 55 per cent cop per, over a hundred ounces in silver and seven 10 eight dollsrs in gold, per ton, He says there is vein on ths SO0-foot level that ranges from nfteen to twenty-seyen feet in width, that aV erages 20 per cent copper, 40 ounces silver and five dollars in gold per ton
 Where can you beat it?' says MT Bonsall. They have rich ore in the famous GUggenheim properties on Cop per river, Alaska, and larger bodies with more developing. but not as rich in average as the Magma. A fault fis' sure cuts the quartZite, limestone and diabase at a right angle, showing the fault with a throw or displacement Of the sedimentary rocks for over 300 feet, with basic accidic and organic formations, and miReralized porphyTy as the fault Assure. What could be more ideal for a mine?"
 Concluding Mir. Bonsall said: I'll you ever want to build mine get your specifications from the Magma.

 The trade reports do not state pre- cisely what the principal business of this town Is. but from what I have been able to observe while l have been about collecting impressions, it is the barbering business. Whenever anybody in Washington doesn't have anything in particular to do for few days he starts a barber shop. There are seventeen in one block on Penn sylvania Avenue, and it is a short block at that
 The barhers lere are great hands to make friends. They are scraping new acquaintances every day. In the base ment of the hotel which has the hon. or of entertaining me at the very reasonable expense of S7 a day, there is a cnearmed barber A one-armed barber, Can you beat that?

 don't know how he lost the other arm. He says a glass of chandelier fell and cut it off while he was shay ing Abraham Lincoln. Every barber in Washington has shaved Abraham Lincoln and U. s. Grant, and I struck one the other day who shaved Lin coin, Grant and Roosevelt all in one hour. He would also have shaved George Washington and Thomas Jef- ferson the same day, but they were out Of town. That was very unfortun- ate, as this barber was trying to make a record that particular day. The man who slaves himself loses a lot of fun here.

 RICHESOA Is INSANE
Alienists Are Likely to Be Called to Examine Con-
 demned Pastor

BOSTON, Feb, 21-There is no doubt that insanity will be the plea on which the counsel for Clarence V T. Richeson, who is now in the Char[ es street jail under sentence of death for the murder of Avis Linnell, will attempt to save his life.
 It is quite probable alienists will Joe called into the case to examine the minister, who is said to be sui fering from a severe nervous shock in prison If it could be proved to the satisfaction of the governor and the council that Richeson was insane. he would be sent to an insane hospital instead Of the electric chair.
 When Attorney William A. Morse, junior counsel for Richeson, confer red with the governor in regard to a petition soon to be presented, ask ing for communication of the sentence, the governor did not appear fayeraoly disposed Sheriff Quinn who was pre- sent. declared to the governor that Richeson was a mental wreck
 He doubted very much, he said ii the condemned minister's mind would bear up and survive under the terri. ble strain under which it was labor ing
 According to the latest reports re- ceived from the prison and through Attorney Morse, Richesons chief trouble is inability to sleep. He is pale and thu it is said, and as the light is kept in his cell all the time and the guards are changed eyery forty minutes, it is difficult for him to rest.
 While I cannot say Mir. Richeson is insane" said Morse, he is in a tough mental state. He is pale and thin and for a sensitive high-strung man of his nature, the strain under which he labors is likely to prove too much for him. He is Jagged, men tally and physically"
 MT. Morse branded as an absolute falsehOod" the statement that Cover nor Foss had notified him he would consider no petition for a commuta- ton of Richeson's sentence.

COPPER METAL SITUATION
 SHOWS MARKED IMPROVEMENT

One prominent in copper affairs in forms us that certain of the Selling Agencies. who have been disposing of copper recently at under fl l-2c., have now raised their price to practically that level which indicates tbat the metal has again been placed firmly on a 14 1-2c. basis.
 Heavy sales of copper metal have been made. both abroad and in the United States, at IA 1-2c. by the Unit cd Metals and Phelps-Dodge compan- les.
 We understand that one of the prominent Selling Agencies recently turned down an offer from London for 5.000,000 lbs of copper, March deliv- cry. at IA lie. Judging from the pres ent demand, it is apparent that anoth- CT heavy buying movement of copper has set in, and it would not be at all surprising if the metal would be car. ried to a new high level.
 The Copper Producers statement for January which was issued last week was a most satisfactory one In nearly every respect did the state ment excell the most optimistic pre- dictions. Stocks on hand in the Unit ed States decreased 23,174,052 lbs, re- ducing the surplus to 66,2S0.643 lbs. i; production and domestic deliveries each decreased more than 100000 lbs, while export deliveries increased nearly 100000 lbs.

Clifford Pinchot should look into this matter along with the forests, for in some cases the house is badly in need of the con- servation of hair. The other bald spots that we noticed range from the 10-cent size up to dollar and a half size. Congressman Mccall strikes a happy average with one that is about the size of a teacup.

KANSAS WHEAT CONDITION

1t is reasonably certain that this
fall wheat acreage is below normal
and considerably below the sowing Of
last fall. The smaller acreage is no
doubt principally due, in the western
one-third of Kansas, to the scarcity
o. horse flesh; in the central and
eastern thirds dry weather during the
early blowing season, together with
the presence and fear of chinch bugs,
is no doubt responsible for the reduc-
ed acreage.
The condition of growing wheat,
however, has probably never been bet
ter on November 10 than it was this
year. The early and general fall
rains, together with the heavy down.
pours in the eastern part, are respon.
sible for the good condition. ..
Earlv sown fields are now giving
good wheat pasture. The pasturing
Of wheat has been generally discontin-
ued in Kansas. 1t is our judgment
that early sown fields will be bene-
fitted by moderate fall pasturing pro-
vided the condition of the ground is
such as will not result in injury to
the plant. In years past the pastur-
ing of wheat was much more general
than during the last ten years. Wheat
pasture has in times past been a ire
mepdous boon to live stock farming
and dairying. There is no good rea-
son why, with the tendency toward
the early sowing of wheat and the
better preparation of the seed bed,
the wheat fields should not be depend
ed upon each year for a month or si1
weeks of good pasture.-Kansas

THE FARMERS STRONG POINT

If the prices of food stuffs continue
it will not be many years until the
city dweller will be confronted with
a serious problem-that of living
cheaper. While the cost of labor has
advanced and the city workman is re-
ceiving more money now than ten
years ago, the prices of food stuffs
have advanced to a greater extent
than his wages and the rank and file
of town workers are now only max
ing living. A small percentage of
increase in the cost of living will put
the city worker in the position of not
playing even unless he reduces his
expenses.
This cost CT living is a thing that
families contemplating moving to
town cannot investigate too fully be.
fore they leave the farm. In the cas-
of the town man, he must buy every.
thing he eats and wears. He is de
pendent upon his boss for his wages
and his job. He must pay house rem
whether he works or not. and mus
eat whether he has a job or not: The
town man is susceptible to the fluctu
alton of business up and down, ant
every fluctuation has its effect direct
ly on him. When times in the coun
try are good, when the farmer hai
stuff to sell and has money in his
pocket and is buying the things othel
people have to sell, there is work fol
the town man, and so long as he hal
work he can live. However, when tn,
farmer grows nothing and is spending
no money. the town man has a hart
time of it..
Depressed times do not Cypress tn,
farmer to the same extent as the cit,
dweller. The farmer can, il he will
live largely from his COWS, his hogs
poultry, garden and orchard. H.h,
cannot buy the things he had hope,
to buy this year. he can wait, all o
which indicates that in the rough an
tumble life the farmer has eonsid
cradle advantage over the fellow VIII,

clothes and who apparently has al
easier time.-Kansas Farmer.

down the hills would be terrific.

Mr.. Eldridge further says: when
once a road is made, it is essential
that it should be dragged after every
rain Of consequence. The only way to
do this satisfactorily is to have a SUI
pervisor for each township or county,
whose duty it is to get out men with
drags. No man should have more than
three miles of road to take care Of.
After each storm, then the supervisor
can call upon the men to get to work
at the right time. The man in charge
must know when the time comes to
do the dragging On this we re-
mark that the county is too large a
district. There is frequently a two.
inch rain in one part Of the county,
dragging, and a mere sprinkle over
the rest Of it, and there is never any
good done in dragging a dry road.
Mr.. Eldridge next answers the Ques
ton as to what kind of road could
be made under this system, as fol
lows: with the right kind Of worl
a solid roadbed can be made from
the soil in this state. It should b.
rounded, and the traffic should be il
the center and not one road on eacl
side of a ride, that will soak up tn,
water.i'
"He then adds: Good roads vii
come when the farmer realizes tn
benefits that will accrue to his lam
from having them. With good road
the farmer can raise products tina
will pay better profits than those h
, now raises. 1t costs more now t
transport grain from a farm min
, miles from a railroad than It does t
transport the same grain from Me-
, York to Liverpool" All of which
undoubtedly true.

f trines we have preached for goo
