 Humboldt is still on the map. The
 shelter is running satisfactorily. and
 we are looking forward to this place
 to resume it's old.time activity in the
 near future.
 Socially we are very much alive. A short time ago the Humboldt social club was organized and already has . membership of 70. Our popular ticket seller and master of transporta. ton at the railroad depot, W. F. Holder, was elected president, and W. II. Knight. secretary and treas. urer. The club has commodious quarters in the Head Block, and every Friday night is devoted to progres. sive whist and other amussments. An occasional dance is given by way of variety. At the last club meeting, President Holder won the gentle. mans prize, n gorgeous necktie. It's color not hormonizing with his style of beauty he promptly donated it to the club 10 be contested for again. Mrs. Vim. Burger won the lady's prize.
 The employees of the Pick and Drill gave n complimentary dance and supper at their mine boarding house on Friday night, March l. It was the most enjoyable event of the sea. son. There were about 70 in attend. ance, 30 of thA being invited guests from outside communities. The large dining hall was cleared and dancing began at 9 o'clock and continued until | in the morning, with an in. termission at l2 o'clock for serving an elaborate lunch.

Mrs. Cynthia Murphy, as admins. tratux of the estate of Lee Murphy, deceased, was given q verdict of sj000 damages by n jury yesterday in the Superior court for the killing of her husband by A. P. Rhode. This civil proceeding results after a crim. inal trial that attracted great inter. est at the time, Murphy and Rhode being brothers in.law, and when the homicide occurred Murphy was work. ing for Rhode on the lattcr's ranch about three miles below Camp Verde, the two families occupying separate quarters.
 Misunderstanding arose between the two men, which culminated in July of 1910, when Rhode shot and instantly killed Murphy, while the latter was at work in the field. In November of that year Rhode was in. dicted for the crime of murder. but the trial did not take place until May of 1911. He was found guilty of murder in the second degree and sentenced to the penitentiary for

The copper mines of the United States have produced more than fiji teen and quarter billion pounds of copper, and of this total twelve min ing districts have produced in excess sog 1o0,0O0,000 pounds each, according to the United States Geological Sur. vey. These twelve districts, located in eight states, have yielded 94.69 per cent of the total output of the coun. try since ls45, when the total product 'of the United States was but little more than 200,O00 pounds. These dis. 'tricts are Butte, Mont. which has yielded 5,3l5,O0o, 900 pounds, or 34.75 per cent of the total production; Lake Superior, Mich, which has yielded T,2s5,o00,000 pounds; Morenci MetcaIf, Ariz., sss,700 pounds; Jerome, Ariz., 07o,000,o00 pounds; Bingham, Utah, s65,Ooo,O00 pounds; Shasta county, Cal, 3a6,00O00o pounds; Globe, Ariz., 3ss, 900 pounds; Ducktown, Tenn, 2ll,70o,00o pounds; Ely.

All other districts have produced s0i,300,O0o pounds.
 1t is interesting to note from the United States Geological Surveys re. port on copper production for 1910 thrt the first ten of these districts are also the first ten largest producers today, although the order is slightly changed. These ten districts yielded o3.si per cent of the production for 1910, The United States is by far the greatest eopperprodueing country. our shelter output of copper In 1910 being 5G.75 per cent of the total for tbc world
 Nearly every one of the leading copperproducing districts of the Unit. ed States, according to the Geological Survey, made s record output within the threc years preceding 1910, and nearly every one of them could havc done so in 1910 SO far as the ability

task for permitting John ID. Afchbod

about the $4,000 he contributed to the

In 1904.
Col Roosevelt had received no dl-

the correspondents visited him at
Sycamore Hill. He had heard, he said,
indirectly, of the committees inability
to have him appear before Il. He was
greatly chagrlned, he said. Also. he
added, the senate need not bother
