AMAZING ACTIVITIES OF VIM. BURNS.

From Detroit comes the latest testimonial in sup
port of the impression that William Burns is the
greatest crime detector the world has ever known.
Eight aldermen under arrest; moro to follow; dicta-
graph, phonograph, marked bills; that's the story;
bribery, of course.
Whether it be in Los Angeles, in Indianapolis in
New York, in South Carolina, or in Detroit, this
ubiquitous Burns party always turns up about the
time the real trouble starts for booders grafters
other varieties of undesirables with the goods care
fully concealed on his person.
Mr.. Burns is getting himself into position for
recognition about the most eminent and effective
friend of decency that we have in our midst. The
wonder is that his system can accomplish so many
things in such widely separated fields. Also, that it
seems never to miss fire.

forcement of the law, and that in effort to get at

immunity to everybody except the police, Tammany S

SOLDIERS READY TO
WELCOME NEW SHOE
Improved Footwear Expected To
Make Marching
Easier.

Enlisted soldiers throughout the United
States Army welcome the announcement
that Uncle Sam intends to give them
a new kind Of shoe to wear.
The new shoe is the result Of three
years experiments and has been found
to be the kind needed.
Officials of the War Department have
for years been puzzled with the problem
of getting shoes for the soldiers, but
hundreds and hundreds of men suffered
daily without relief. The new shoe diff
fers from the old marching and garrison
shoe in the fact the lasts are modified
by Strengthening the inner line Of the
sole In front Of the ball. This has re-
lieved the unnecessary pressure on the
toes that is SO common in ordinary lasts.
But 1t will be fully a year before the
new shoe goes into general use. for the
government has on hand a good supply
OF the former garrison and marching
shoe and these must be used up.

COPPER EXPORTS.
Supply is Still Short of the Demand
for the Red Metal.

There has been no falling off in the
buying of copper for European ac-
count, and according to present indi
/ cations continuation of this buying,
which commenced several days ago, is
likely. This week very heavy vol
ume OF business was transacted, ac-
cording to statements made by repre-
sentatives of the leading selling agen-
cies, and in all cases the full price
OF l7A cents was realized. The bry
ing has been stimulated to a great
extent by the publication of the fort
nightly statistics, which showed a fur
. ther material shrinkage of tle re-
fined metal abroad. According to the
figures made public, actual stocks in
England and France decreased 2,240,-
GEO pounds, while the toc,;s at Ham
burg and Rotterdam SHRINK l,7Oa,-
640 pounds, making the decrease in
the actual stocks of copper III Europe
during the first half of November ap-
proximately 100000 pounds, in ad-
dition to the decrease in actual sup
plies. the amount of copper afloat from
Chile and Australia fell off 2.352,0OO
pounds, making the total decrease in
supplies of all Europe in the past few
weeks approximately 6,250.000 pounds
This decrease is the largest report
ed for any similar period since April
30-May Is, supplies in that fortnight
showing decrease of 8,4473,000
pounds The heavy inroad made in the
stocks of the refined product abroad
is attributable to the falling off in
shipments from this side, due in part
to the difficulty in securing adequate
freight accommodations and also to
the more cautious policy that has been
pursued by European manufacturers
i'll making new commitments. owing
to political complications in south
eastern Europe. Consumers. there
fore, have been obliged to draw upon
their home supplies. with the result
that stocks OF actual copper have been
reduced to the lowest levels recorded
in long time. The decrease in the
stocks at Hamburg and Rotterdam IS
regarded with some significance by
the large dealers here. the total at
those centers amounting to approx
imately 100000 pounds. as compared
with about 3S.0O0.000 pounds year
ago.
Although the shipments to Europe
from this side have been compare
lively small during the past month or
six weeks. the aggregate shipments
for the ten months of the current year
have broken all previous records, and
the indications are that the total out
go for 1912 will be the largest in the
history of the industry in point of ex
ports.-Financial America

Death of Mrs. Ambrose

Mrs. Rebekah Ambrose, mother of
G. l.. Ambrose, of this place, passed
away at her home in Empire, on the
Carson River on Monday of this week
after an illness of some duration
Mrs. Ambrose was one of the pioneer
women of this State, having settled
in Virginia City in 1857. A few years
later she and her husband moved to
Empire, then known as "Nick's Sta
ton" There she has resided up to
the time of her death.
Mrs. Ambrose was born in Illinois
in 1884 and was therefore 7S years OF
age. She was surrounded by her sons
and daughters when death came, these
being Mrs. Ruffner, of Sacramento;
Mrs. Bohan. of Utah; Martin, of Salt
Lake; George. OF Yerington. and
Frank and Alb. of Empire.
The funeral of deceased took place
from the Empire home on Wednesday
and was very largely attended.
Mrs. Ambrose was one of the real
pioneers of the State who went
through all the hardships that it took
to make home and raise a family in
those days She was even one of the
early Indian fighters OF this State, and,
with her husband saw many exciting
times. Her sons and daughters are
sturdy Nevadans and have the sym
pathy of host of friends throughout
the State.

BEET SUGAR PRODUCTION.
A Great Industry Being Built in the
United States by Protecting 1t.

When the Republican Congress
passed the Dingley Tariff law in 1897
this country produced yearly but
few thousand tons of beet sugar. That
law imposed duty on raw sugar
which protected the sugar producers
of this country, and instead of few
beet sugar sugar factories being in op-
Grafton, there are now seventy fac
tories turning out this product, and as
it has been increased in fifteen years
to six hundred and thirty thousands
tons a year, few more years under
protection will see enough beet sugar
produced in this country together
with our cane product, to supply the
nation We now use about Z,35OOO0
tons of sugar yearly, and more than
one-half of this is produced in the
United States, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and Hawaii on which
there is no duty paid whatever. The
American beet sugar man cannot op-
crate without protection. The Ameri
can factory pays from $2.l0 to $3.50
per day for common labor; the
French factories pay at the highest
for common labor rs cents per day,
and employ many women at II, Is and
IS cents a day So without protec-
ton it is impossible for the American
beet sugar factory to compete with
the French and German factories un-
less the American farmer will cut the
price of sugar beets nearly in two,
and the American laborcr take about
one e-third of what he is receiving to-
day, which no one in this country
wants them to do.
There is enough beet sugar produc-
ing territory in the State of Michi
gan alone. Ohio and a number of
other States to produce sufficient sug-
ar to supply the whole of the United
States. There are now three sugar
factories in Ohio, and two more are
being built Michigan has sixteen fac
tories, and Colorado has seventeen.
The American sugar farmer real
lied last year good profit on his
land growing sugar beets. A pro-
duct which can be raised here, and
which is so profitable to our farmers,
should be protected. Protection solely
has developed this great industry. We
have millions ndsn,iiiious Of acres cs
land that will grow sugar beets, and
much reason for giving it ample pro-
lection under our tariff law as there
is to give the American protection on
any productivity City National

NEVADA-DOUGLAS DIVIDEND,
Directors of Company Decide to Cut
$l25,000 Melon.

The Directors of the Nevada Doug
las Copper Company met in Salt Lake
last Saturday and declared the com
pany's first dividend of II cents a
share. The amount is payable Febru-
airy. |, 1913, and books will close jan
uary, 10.
The amount appropriated for this
dividend is $l25,000. AT present there
are 100000 shares of stock in the com
pany outstanding, and 100000 in the
treasury. There are, however, 100000
in bonds outstanding and these are
convertible into stock at the rate of
So per share. In view OF the approch-
ing dividend and the fact that the
market value of the stock is consider
ably above the So mark, said A. ].
Orem. of the company, it is ex
pected that the remaining bond issue
will be converted into stock in the
near future
Mr.. Orem explained that large
block of the outstanding bonds is held
in London, and said that it was neces-
sary to have the time for the payment
of the dividend put in the somewhat
distant future. in order that those
bondholders who wish may have time
to convert the bonds into stock.
