that we are of the opinion that
this can never be brought about
by the method now in vogue in
this county. the old Worn out
system of working the roads by

progressive people as being a
system under which the roads
cannot be improved and has
been generally abandoned.

 MELANGE
THE BARRIER"

Eugene Presbrey' with a long line Of successes to his credit, has scored asain in the dramatization he has giX. en Rex Beach's Barrier. Together they have put in a play that will live as long as we have Alaska and the west
 The plot of the Barrier is the story of a hunted man whose daush- ter has staked claim which turns out rich, and relates the attempt to steal it from her. The intervention in her behalf of the United States army is i'll the person of a handsome young captain, who eventually woos and marries her The story in the telling is one of the most strongly dramatic that has been staged in the last decade.
 It is healthy to see. It is a strong. rugged and true stage picture of con ditions and life on the last Frontier.
 The Barrier will be at The Orphe um on Friday Feb. 23rd.

, 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 before the end of this yeuT, and the metal may sell between 16 and 20 cents Le fore Christmas.
 The world is now absorbing about l7O,0O0,00O pounds of new production lT,I00, 900 pounds from the accumulated surplus and 1S,30O,OOO pounds of cop per scrap monthly. This means con, sumption of 6,S5O.000 pounds for every day in the year, Sundays and holidays included. As the mines of the world are producing at the rate of about 5,35O .000 pounds daily, the difference of i,5Oe,ee0 pounds must be supplied every day by the junk and old metal dealers and drawn from the accumu- lated supplies.
 The current monthly decrease ct 1I,6y5,eO0 pounds in the visible sup lies may be interpreted as the world serving notice that it needs more cop per, that production is not increasing fast enough, that insufficient new de posits of ore are being developed and reduction plants constructed to pro vide for it's coming requirements. To hold the price of copper down to 14 cents, 1t would bo necessary to Iu- crease production 225,O00,0O0 pounds this year and 00,o00,0 GOO pounds in 1919, assuming consumption continues to grow ss rapidly as 1t has during the past seven months. Neither wil! be found possible.
 Is Time 10 Buy
 Consumers who fail to purchase copper in excess Of then present re- quirements, whenever it is obtainab!e at a slight concession, will sincerely regret it before the year 1912 passes into history. The metal is going to sell at very high prices.
 Growth Ct consumption is not depend ent, to the same extent it has been in the past, on a revival in general business. Increasing use Of electric ity is bringing a prosperity to the cop per industry such as no other line Ot business. is enjoying Hydro electric development, electridcation oi rail loads, advertising by electric signs, uu- diminished growth of the worlds tete phone systems. increasing popularity of the telegraph in this country since the Inauguration of day and night let ter service, the demonstrated superior ity of electric cignals, and the growing tendency to adopt higher standard ot building construction, particularly the sky-scraper. type Tn cities are a few Of the inn rtsnt factors that sc count for the ' Hume Of copper con sumption, notwithstanding the com narrative duIlupse Inf general hfiSiuess in most of the leading industrial cen ters of the world.

 There was no argument to be used against that. It runs in the family like cauliflower ears, pug noses or wooden legs, and the only thing to do is to hand over the price. When we see a personal body servant of George Washington loom up on the horizon now We simply dig and ask no questions.
 The Washington monument is 555 feet in height The top of this monu- ment is the only point in Washington from which it is possible to overlook the sins of the United States senate. You get to the top of the monument by means of an elevator, and you can come down any way you want. If you are in a hurry it Is better to jump for by so doing you can get back 10 Washington in an incredibly short space of time. From the top of the monument an ordinary citizen on the ground looks to be about as small as flea. Some of the statesmen look a good deal smaller than that especi- ally since the recent election.
 The monument is heated by steam and lighted by electricity inside, but I would not care to use it as place of residence. The ceiling is too high and it requires a lot of wall paper to over it in the spring. The monument is about fifty feet square at the bot tom. and is sharp at the top. They probably sharpened it at the top so that no loafers would sit on it. l am soing up again tomorrow to see if I can reach the high cost of living.

Copper is firm and very good vol tune of business Is being transacted. Lake IS 1i3-S to 14l-z cents and cleo troiytic is If to 143-4 cents a pound. Domestic consumption appears to be increasing slowly but steadily. The foreign demand continues very heavy and as yet there is no sign of any recession. Exports promise to be fully as large in February as they were in January. During the first half of this month the foregn visible sup ply of copper decreased 5,447,6SO pounds. While it Is hardly to be ex- Iected that the world existing cop per surplus will continue to decrease at the rate of 15,000,O00 to 30,00OOGO pounds a month, as it mas for some time past, it is certain that consump- ton now considerably exceeds produc- ton and that the metal is in a very strong position satisfactorily.
 Little Increase Seen

Since then the demand for copper has greatly in- creased, the price has advanced two cents a pound and there certainly has been no curtailment agreement While every possible encouragement to in crease production has existed, the output of those districts remains d. most precisely what it was six or eight months ago, except for the cop per that is coming from such new op- erations as Ray. Miami and Chino Utah Copper has increased it's pro ductlon 15 to 20 per cent, as antiCi- pated, and the Phelps-Dodge mines also, have made a slight gain. Those who expect a very much greater vol ume Of output from the older mines this year, however, are doomed Jo dis appointment

SHANNON COMPANY
 PLANS DEVELOPMENT
More Miners Employed and Greater Depth Will
 Be Sought

CLIFTON, Feb. 22:-President \, L. Amster, who was here last week inspecting the workings of the Shan non Copper company, departed from the camp highly pleased with the out look for the shannon company for the year 1912.
 More extensive development work Is planned for the year and additional miners are being put on at the prop erty and preparations are being made to open up the ore bodies at a great CT depth than heretofore.
 In January the Shannon company produced 7SO tons of copper, the larg- est product on record by this company for a single month since the year 1907. This production was all from ore coming from the shannon mines and was exclusive of any customs ore. The shannon is producing now at the fate of from g to 2S tons per day and 1t is the intention of the shannon management to increase their output tor the year 1912 over that of 1911 by approximately three million pounds.
 The Leonard Copper company. a subsidiary company of the shannon located in Cochise county, is now shipping 5000 tons per month to the shannon shelter
 While Alr. Amster was in the city, Mr. J. W. Bennie, General Manager Of the company, made the announce ment of the appointment of Mir. r. A.
