 SUIT FOR TOMBSTONE
pGIeeson-CosteIIo Litigation; Asks Transfer to Federal Court
 for Hearings

TOMBSTONE, April 12.-The first legal tilt in the famous million dollar case involved in the Gleeson vs. Cos tello mining suit was had this morning when a petition was presented by Attorney Joseph Scott of Los Angeles and Ben Goodrich, formerly of Tomb stone, on behalf of the Costello estate. asking for transfer of the case to the federal court. The transfer is asked on the ground that the judiciary act passed by congress provides for possi- ble transfer of pending territorial cases, involving $5000 or over, to the federal court. The contention is op- posed by Attorney Neale for the plain tiff that no federal question is involved in the suit and the act primarily con templates federal matters only
 Judge Sutter being disqualified in the case announced he would endeay- or to have Judge Cooper of Tucson come here on Friday to pass upon the petition
 In the Cunningham heirs case $525, 900 also embracing mining liti- gation, a deposition was taken and testimony of James Letson, the Bis bee pioneer, was heard, Attorneys Neale and Morfoot appearing for the Cunningham heirs while Attorney Jos.

Copper Share Market

The coppers have been more irreg,,- lar in their price movements and q few of them have sold off somewhat. It would seem that a reaction must be due after the. big rise of the past few months; but the greatly increased earnings and dividend advances may bring in enough buying to carry prices much higher immediately. Coppers look high <, when compared with the quotations of a few months ago. Viewed from the standpoint. of earu- ings and future prospects, however, most of them still appear ridiculously low. There is hardly a producing company in the list that can't earn considerably more than 10 per cent on the market price of it's stock with cop per selling at 16 cents.
 If copper goes on advancing and the price averages between 16 and 20 cents a pound during the coming three or four years, it will lead to the great est speculative market in copper shares that has ever occurred. Even the smallest and highest cost produc- CTS will be able to pay dividends. To illustrate, I figure that four years of 20 cent copper would enable such companies as Shannon and Greene Cananea to earn and disburSe in divid- ends as much as their capital stocks are now selling for in the market. should buy more coppers on any slight reaction.

any time in five years; that is the ar gument on which the metals advance mas been based.
 On February l the metal was a fraction below 14 cents; from that time until March 20 there was a steady but quiet improvement to 15 cents. In the interval from March 20 to April 2-less than two weeks the advance became rapid, and an other full cent was added to the price. At the moment the indications are that it will score another advance.
 England, Germany, and France are consuming copper in unprecedented quantities.; in the first three months of 1912 this country's exports of the metal to Europe were 92, 400 tons, as compared 72,300 in the first quarter of last year, and 53,9OO in the same peri cd of 1909. Yet despite these large shipments, Europes visible. supply de- clined in the interval 6400 tons, as practically no decrease last year.
 The March statement showed a fall ing off of 572, ,431 pounds in the Ameri can surplus. It also showed that d record amount of copper went into domestic deliveries in March.

RAY CONSOLIDATED.

President Sherwood Aldrich of the Ray. Consolidated Copper Company, who has just returned from a trip to the property says: The company is now making in excess of $1 per share and by October earnings should equal at least $2 per share.
 "A total of 10S,700 tons of ore was produced by the Ray Consolidated during March and put through it's con- centrating plant. The net copper out put was a little over 2,400,000 pounds and the operations for the month upon the basis of current metal quotations resulted in a profit of approximately $157,O0O.

PHELPS-DODGE
Large Increase in Production of Cop
 per So Far This Year

From it's own mines the Phelps Dodge corporation produced more cop per during the first quarter of 1912- 32,050,S40 pounds-than in any cores .)onding period since 1909.
 On the other hand custom ores handled at it's Douglas smelter were the smallest for a first quarter since 1909, amounting to 2,0O5,300 poun Is, against 3,4S9,603 pounds in 1911, D. 564, sos pounds two years ago and buc 1,973,742 pounds three years ago.
 The Phelps-Dodge properties this year should show a substantial in- crease in production. Of the gain, the Moctezuma mine in Mexico will contribute a good share.
 Last year the Moctezuma made d record output of 25,511,5S2 pounds. This was gain of almost 200 per cent. in. five years, for the 1907 out put was but 9,64O,390 pounds. Ores from this mine have been shipped for the past few years to the Copper Queen for treatment.

MINERS NARROW ESCAPE

Prescott, April 15.-Harry Stratton, miner, had a most miraculous escape from death today. He was thawing one hundred and eighty giant powder caps in pan of water on a stove, when they exploded. Each cap con- tained five hundred pounds pressure to the square inch. The side and end of the building were blown to atoms, and a part of the stove was picked up a quarter of mile away. Stratton's skin on his entire body was perforated by hundreds of copper par ticles from the casing of the caps.
 He will lose one eye, but from pres ent indications, will recover. The accident occurred in the camp of the Champion Gold Mining company, twelve miles south of here.

BIG BULLION BAR
 SENT TO MINT
Monthly Cleanup Amounts to $7o,-
 GOO from Tom Reed Mine

KINGMAN, Ariz., April 16-Last Tuesday the Tom Reed shipped it's regular monthly bar of bullion to the mint and the bar weighed 5,705 20 ounces gold, and was valued at $70,- 0OO This is about the ordinary clean up for the mill for each month and will give some idea of the output Of the property.
 The Tom Reed has been proven to the 800 foot level, far below the con tact with the older andesite, which was thought to be the line of demar- cation between the value bearing rock and the nonvalue bearing. The best values are now to be. found in the rock generally understood to be non mineral in character.

WALKERS WEEKLY COPPER
 LETTER

Geo. l.. Walker, writing in the Boston Commercial under date of April 13, says:
 The Metal Market
 Copper continues very strong. Lake is 16 to 16A cents and electrolytic 16 to 161s cents a pound. Sales of electrolytic' have been made recently at 161s cents for June delivery. Do- mestic consumers are evidently satis- fled at last that the advance in prices is based upon legitimate trade condi- tions, as they have been making quite heavy purchases for delivery as far ahead as June and July.
 The Copper Producers association report showed a further decrease Of 572,431 pounds during March. Pro- ductiOn and imports increased 9,65S.- 792 pounds as compared with February Domectic deliveries increased 1,259.- 09S pounds and exports decreased 4,36S,530 pounds. Including the re- duction in the foreign visible supply there was a total shrinkage of 3,55s.- III pounds in March, and the world $ surplus now stands at 174, ,759, ,551 pounds, being the smallest reported since the Copper Producers associa- tion was organized.
 While it is wholly possible that there may be a temporary reaction
  ment in metal prices, there is every reason for the belief that copper will sell very much higher between now and the end of next year. The price is high enough, and there are very few producers who desire a further ad- vance. Output will be increased wherever it is consistent with econ omy, therefore, and vigorous attempt made to hold the price of the metal down to it's present level.
 As I stated after my inspection of the mines last year, however, there is no surplus of, copper ore available for im:r ediate treatment. The curtail- 9nent talk of a year ago was a good deal of a joke. Only three or four districts have increased their produc- tion since then, and these to no ap- preciable extent. The world wants more copper than the mines are able to supply. Consequently consumers will continue to bid against one an other and the effect of this eventually will be abnormally high prices for cop per.

GOING FULL BLAST.

DOUGLAS, April 13.-Present ac- tivities at the c. & A. smelter site have never been equalled in the his tory of that company, and it is doub t- ful if elsewhere in Arizona may pc found a parallel. The old smelter is operated at full capacity, that great earning capacity which has enrich >G the stockholders and provided a sur plus fund more than enough to create new and greater plant, and by rs side is growing the splendid new structure that will not only work greAI economies in production cost but in crease the capacity by 50 per cent.

WAFFLE SEASONS HERE
Iron 201 Years Old Resumes
Service Next Week.

Election Day isn't the only important
event that IS scheduled FOR next week.
There will also be a birthday party at
the New York Exchange for Woman's
Work at Madison avenue and I3d street
That will take place Monday and II Is
the 2Olst birthday anniversary OF a waffie
iron
This grandmother OF all waffle irons has
been the pride OF the Woman's Exchange
kitchen for some years. and the patrons
OF the exchange lunchroom all declare that
never were such waffes eaten as are
made with this iron. The annual birth
day, when the first waffies OF the season
are served, brings lovers OF good things
docking from far and near. Last year
Christine, the Swedish cook, who presides
over the waffle irons, served l26 hungry
women and a few men.
The goodness OF these waffies Is eN-
planned partly by the fact that they are
made according TO a recipe Mrs. Russell
Sage gave the exchange a particularly
good recipe But the age Of the waffle
iron is, Christine said, the great reason.
IL seems that the older waffle iron IL
the better wafr1es it makes.
The age OF this waffle iron Is known be-
yond doubt. for Mrs. c. X. Agnew, who
gave IT TO the exchange-she is one OF tho
vice presidents OF the organization-had
IL from her grandmother, who had II from
her mother who had II from her mother.
1t is, It Will be perceived. a very aristo-
crat among waffle irons, whose family
record none can doubt.
Persons wishing TO make the acquaint-
ance OF Grandmother Waffle Iron and to
taste the waffies on Monday are requested
TO come early to avoid the rush.

TO DEPORT WILLIAM MUTT
immigration Officials Tack a
"Y" on Actors Name.

William Mutt, actor, OF the Theatre
ROYAL. Drury Lane. London, stood look

bars.
"Wot a blimeing baIly country" said
william.

William was ordered depOrted.
Ernest d'Auban, manager Of the The

American theatrical manager. and Morris
Gest all went over to the island to tell
the immigration people that Mutt was per
factlv normal and only fresh, but they
could not make themselves understood
and unless Washington intervenes VIII
lam Mutt will go back TO England and the
Strand.
But William Mutt says that the ques-
t,ons they put to him 10 test his mind
were of the worst order Of "swank.'

Monticello Feb. 21st 1925.
on the Fourth Of July, 1926, John

noisy rejoicing, already universal over
every recurrence OF the day. IN final
effort to make himself understood by
the family, this old and fervid friend
and opponent whispered: THOMAS
Jefferson still lives" They were his
last words, and they were prophetic.
That strange medley Of Inconsistency.
eXtravsg ance, enthusiasm and fervid
patriotic devotion had In fact passed
away q few hours earlier. But the
author OF the statute for religious lib
erty in Virginia and of the Declaration
of independence, the founder Of the
University of Virginia, and the pur-
chaser of Louisiana still lives in the
respectful memory OF the world and in
the affection of the people OF the con-
tinent he served. And so, gentlemen
Of the first University College or

of your great American Welshman, and
