Relief Measures

Washington, April S--Red Cross funds are not needed at present for relief work
 in the flood zone. but may be used to
 advantage later for medicine and sanita-
 tion purposes which will become a serious
 question according to a telegram from
 Ernest F. Bickneii of New Madrid, Mo,
 the Red Cross agent who was dispatched
 to the flood regions to investigate.
 The agent reports the army is in the better position to take charge of relief measures.
 Approximately 25D0 refugees at Hicls- man, Ky, must be fed, according to an estimate telegraphed to the war depart ment by Captain Logan of the quarter masters department. He says about haif of this number are being fed by the city. Twenty thousand rations are due tlBere bv night. The principal trouble at Tip tonv,lle. Tenn, according to repor! 1 from Major Normoyie, is the lack Of for | age.
 He requests 100000 pounds of hay and eoo0 hounds of corn. There are about 1 1000 head of stock to be fed. The depart ment has sent to Columbus. Ky. lJ,0' rations with 30.Oo0 pounds of corn and 1 5000 pounds of hay; to New Madrid, Mo i 20.0o0 rations and to Charlottesville, Mo- 2000 rations.
 In addition there were sent ,args amounts of lime and crude oil and
 number of army field ranges.

Roosevelt Fights Hard

Lafayette, Ind April s.--Al day long Colonel Roosevelt fought as hard as he could fight for victory in tomorrow presidential primary in illinois, In his opinion, as he expressed it today, the re- suit of the fight will be of first import ance In determining the outcome of his whole campaign When it was a}i over ahe 5dlorrs Ssas tcsAgl 10 hoeftiI his strgfs, to oaAs ont of tne state, he saiA
 My hat is in the ring, and it Is going 10 stay in the ring"
 Tn one of his speeches today he said.
 We look to Illinois to set the keynote of this campaign. Illinois stands in the most important position of any state in this fight"
 Charges Unfair Tactics
 In some other states he said his sup porters had been defeated by unfair tac- ties of federal officeholders and by other methods which he characterized as im- proper. Referring to the presidential pri- mary in Illinois, he said:
 "lf you are against me fin fair vote I shall have nothing to say, but if you arc for me and the bosses record you as against me, I shall have a great deal to say
 Colonel Roosevelt handled his oppon- ents without gloves. He assailed Con- gressman Mckinley campaign manager for President Taft. in a speech in Mir. McKlnley's own district, and put himself on record as opposed to President Taft in regard to reciprocity. He repeated his broadside against Senator Lorimer. and paid his respects once more to the country's multl-millionalres and the heads of great corporations. saying 1t would he for their own good to follow the policies he advocated
 The colonel made nearly dozen fight ing speeches. The days run took him not only through the district of Congress- man Mckinley. but also that of former Speaker Cannon. and he delivered a speech few blocks from MT. Cannon's dwelling in Danvile
 After leaving the state he made several speeches in Indiana.

0LO MINES PASS INTO NEW
 HANDS
Bonanza and Golden Eagle In Harqua Hala Diitrict to
 Boom Again

Parker-One of the most important
 mining deals consummated in this
 held recently was that announced
 Thursday, as having been closed dur
 ing the early part of the week by
 Il. Wm. Stevens, w. J. Martin and associates in taking over the we'll
 known producers of early days, the Bonanza and Golden Eagle groups of mines, situated in the Haruua Hala mountains, nine miles southeast of Salome, on the A. & c. railroad.
 Fourteen claims have been acquir- ed, ten of which are patented. The rev1v1ng of this famous producer of early days, recalls it's heavy produc- t1on, when it was under the owner ship of Hubbard & Bowers, both of whom passed away several years ago. During their administration the Bonanza mine alone yielded over $4,- OOO,OOO within a vertical depth of 21O feet from the surface.
 This property is equipped with a 4O-stamp mill, new shaft, air com pressor, hoist and other mechanical facilities, while on the Golden Eagle IS hoist, cable tram from the col lar of the shaft to the Bonanza mill. making in all desirable mechanical combination for the immediate prose- cution of development and early pro- auction. While considerable of the equipment was installed when the was producing, additions have been made in recent times and with the rebuilding and remodeling of the old apparatus the operating fa- ;ilities are all that could be desired rom mechanical standpoint Messrs stevens and Martin are said to have secured this famous group under most favorable conditions and it is exported that quite few of the most | prominent and conservative business | nen of Prescott have taken advan- age of the opportunity to become in- crested with them.

coPPER's EXCELLENT POSITION
Consumption Exceeds Current Output
 and Draws on Depleted Reserves

Domestic buying of copper was
 rather light during the week, but
 most of the agencies are sold into
 such comfortable position that they
 can sit tight until the users of the
 metal are forced to come into the
 market again. Meanwhile the for
 eign demand keeps up. For the first
 14 days of this month the foreign vis-
 ible supply shows a decrease of over
 5,G00,000 pounds which is more than
 for the entire month of January
 The consumers of the United States are still placing too much importance on the condition or their own busi- ness for while the consumption in this country has not been increasing metal have been reduced because of theh eavier demand abroad. It is the unanimous testimony of returning travellers that Europe has been and is prosperous, and that there is a con- stant development of new enterpris- es requiring the red metal. Consump- tion in this country may show a mark ed increase any time. The Pennsyl- vania road is getting ready for cleo trifcation of it's lines running into Philadelphia and the New Haven is it's electrical zone. Other roads .wll follow suit as soon as bus mess expansion takes the place of It would seem therefore 1 hat the time for hand-to-mouth buy ng of copper has come to an end, and l m attempt to stock up will undoubt- | sdly cause a sharp advance in prices | Commercial.

SALE OF MINING CLAIMS IN
 BOX CANYON

George w Phillips has recently sold nine claims in the Apache Box Canyon to John w. Kniffen for $50,- 900. Previous sales of properties in the canyon have been negotiated, the amount involved being S2OO,000. The gold excitement in Duncan an Shel- don is at fever heat on account of this encouragement to prospectorS who were the pioneers in the Apache Box discoveries.
 The Mount Vernon mine owners have leased the property to w. P. Craig who recently sold his claims in the Apache Box mine. A large force will be put to work at once on this prospect which shows splendid symp- toms of becoming a good producer

saw are that it is one of the most interesting gold mining properties l ever saw. Its vastness and magni- tude seem almost incredible. One is led to believe it will prove to be an other gold mine to be classed with the famous Treadwen mine on Doug las Island or with the great Home stake mine in South Dakota.
 The owners have recently run an open cut about nine or ten feet wide into the side of the canyon from which they made shipments of two carloads to a shelter. The first load they claim ran a little over $9 in gold per ton, and the second ran over $10 per ton. I asked them if they as sorted the ore. They replied that it was impossible to do so. This to my mind was the most convincing evi- dence of this vast ore deposit.
 The property is now controlled by w. Franklin Burnham of Boston, Mass, president of the American Ex- ploration and Mining company and John kniffen, a metallurgical engin- eer.

WALKERS WEEKLY COPPER
 LETTER
OPTIMISTIC TONE.

Speaking of the metal market last
 week, MT. Walker says:
 Copper is firm and a very good vol
 ume of business is being transacted.
 Lake IS IA 3-S to 14 1-2 cents and eI- ectrolytii is IA 1-2 to 14 5-S cents a pound. Domestic consumption ap-
 pears to be increasing slowly but steadily. The foreign demand contin- ues very heavy and as yet there is no sign of any recession Exports promise to be fully as large in Febru- ary as they were in January Dur ing the first half of this month, the foreign visible supply of copper de- creased 5,447,6S0 pounds While it is hardly to be expected that the world S existing copper surplus will contin- ue to decrease at the rate of 15,OOO,- 900 to 3O,O00,000 pounds a month, as 1t has for some time past, it is cer- tain that consumption, now consider ably exceeds production and that the metal is in very strong position sta tistically.
 After I completed my circuit of the mining districts of the Southwest last summer I stated positively that if there were any curtailment of pro- duction I had failed to find it. Since then the demand for copper has great ly increased, the price has advanced two cents pound and there certain " has been no curtailment agree ment. While every possible encour- aSement to increase production has existed the output of those districts remains almost precisely what it was six or eight months ago, except for new operations as Ray, Miami and Chino. Utah Copper has increased it's production 15 or 20 per cent, as anticipated, and the Phelps-Dodge mines, also, have made a slight gain Those who expect a very much great CT volume of output from the older mines this year, however, are doomed to disappointment.
 The worlds copper surplus, which stood at 401, ,139,697 pounds on July 1910, has been reduced to 19O,757,- 44S pounds, a decrease of 210, 1882, ,254 pounds in 19 months. During this period, therefore, consumption has exceeded production at the average rate of 11,546,434 pounds month
 Seven months ago, July 1, 1911, the l worlds surplus was 314,619,444 pounds. Since then it has decreased l l23, ,S62,OO1 pounds, which is an aver | age of 17,694,572 pounds monthly l This means that the consumptive de | copper produced and calling for more | at the rate 212,334,S6 pounds annu- l ally.
 Six months ago the trade was l worried for fear that the increased l production of 1912, estimated at 150,- l 100000 to 1S0,O00,0OO pounds, would l swamp the market and cause copper l to sell at II cents a pound Now it | becomes plain that consumption has outgrown already the anticipated in- crease in production. If the demand continues to grow at the present rate the coming shortage in the copper supply will be felt most acutely be- fore the end of this year, and the metal may sell between 16 and 20 cents before Christmas-Commer

RICH SILVER ORE

Rich ore has been discovered in the Norton silver mine, in the Mohawk Mountains, by Captain c R. Rose and his partner, J. R. Brown of San Diego, who have the property under bond
 Two years ago Senator George w
 Norton shipped car load of silver ore from the mine that netted $1,OOOi Believing that the find was a pocket. and all the good ore was gone, he bonded the property. Rose and Brown have been working in a desultory way for months, and their lease had all most expired when they made the strike. Their work has proved that the ore was not a pocket at all, but well defined lead.

LIVE OAK PROGRESS

The enlargement of No. ? shaft at the Live Oak from two, to three com partments has been started.
 Jack McIvor has the contract for the work and has hired some of the best miners of the district. The shaft is BPS feet deep and will be enlarged by raising from four or five different points. It is expected that the work will be finished in about two and a half months. In the meantime a doub- le-drum hoist and two 15O hp boilers will be erected and development of the ore body from this shaft will be resumed as soon as the shaft work is finished

FREE PASTEUR TREATMENT FOR
THE NEEDY.
Legislature Provides for State to Pay
Expenses.

In the last legislature an act was
passed authorizing the State Board Of
Health to provide for the treatment
of INDECENT persons exposed TO the
contagion Of hydrophobia and TO APP
propriate sum Of money for this
purpose. Section of the act pro-
vides that "said Board shall provide
for the Pasteur Treatment to such
individuals as may present themsel-
yes to the said Board in the City of
Baltimore with a written statement
from the Commissioners Of the County
in which they reside or the Mayor of
the City of Baltimore az the case may
be stating that such individuals are
unable to pay the usual cost OF such
Pasteur Treatment"
"a letter has also been addressed
to the county commissioners Of the
several counties, by the Secretary of
the State Board of Health, DR.. Mar
shall IT.. Price, advising them a. fol-
lows
AS delay in such cases is unneces-
sary and unwarranted and dangerous
to the life of the patient, T would re
specially request that your Honor
able Board take promp action in such
cases, and if there IL any doubt a. to
the financial ability Of the individual
to pay for the cost of treatment, that
such cases be decided in favor of the
individual. This, Of course, does not
mean that persons who are able to
pay for their own treatment, should
be treated at the expense of the State
In order to involve as little delay
as possible the individual should pre-
sent himself to this office az promptly
a. possible with the written state
ment from the County Commissioners
in his possession. He will then be
given a written order from this De-
partment for the necessary treatment.
There will not be ten minutes delay
in this Office, if your Board has pro-
vided the necessary written state
ment"

they can be found when wanted and
where they cannot get inside the tire

Use does not injure tires. Like
the human family it is idleness that
destroys them. An inner tube hang

ruined by spring. Its companion tube
which is working daily remains fiexi-

1t is the same with an envelope or

THE SNOW MAN.

Behold the brave old snow man
Out in the vacant lott
See how he stands and holds his hands
And never leaves the spot.
He always takes things as they come
Rain. sunshine. hail or snow.
old shoes or bricks, stones crooked
sticks
And things that small boys throw.
There isn't any lesson
Let us give thanks for that
Nor preachment prim to get from him
Nor moral plain and pat.
He stands there like dead one
Until the busy sun
Sends down some rays to end his days.
And then he starts to run.
