Conservative Attitude.

The principal compa MES. however. 80
far have shown a highly satisfactory
attitude, and the number of companies
so far that have increased their dlvi-
dend rates is small This IS somewhat
remarkable in view Of the greater earn
ings and the insistent demands mad g
by shareholders for higher dividends as
a consequence. Should copper continue
during the balance Of the year at any
thing like its present range, and should
financial and general industrial condi-
tions remain in any degree satisfactory.
Il score or more copper producing com
panies around the first OF 1913 will raise
their dividend disbursements.
The depletion of the worlds visible
copper stocks during the past year or
two, due TO an enormous increase in the
worlds consumption and the several
months voluntary curtailment Of pro-
duction by the principal copper producers,
has been remarkable development
which only a very few far-sighted lead
ers among the producers anticipated.
The major producers now occupy the
somewhat peculiar situation Of fearing
further advances In the market price OF
copper. deeminS an average price below
Is cents pound far more consistent and
beneficial to their industry than any
range In excess OF Is cents a pound.

Is Opening Wedge.

During the whole OF the past session
Mr.. CalIbrcath. on behalf of the Ameri-
can Mining congress. labored in Wash
ington for an appropriation OF not less
than 800. 900 for the bureau OF mines ex-
tending its operations out into the west
ern metal districts. He had been given
TO understand that congress would refuse
positively TO appropriate any amount for
this purpose this year, but in some as
yet unexplained but decidedly fortunate
manner some friend of the metal mining
industry managed to get the $4,000 item
into the bill, and for the first time In its
career the bureau OF mines Of the gov
crnment can now undertake some Of the
difficult and long overdue problems that
confront the metal mining industry CT
this country.
''It Is not entirely question Of
amount" said Mr.. CaIlbreath TO The
Tribune, ''it is mainly a question Of
making the first appropriation, for onee

Costs Are Reduced.

This is why, to a large extent. so many
of the old copper producers OF the country
are now In a position to make unprcce-
dented profits on Il 17S-cent copper mar
ket. BY revamping their mining, milling
transportation and smelling arrange
ments, companies whose production cost
not long ago was II or IL cents q pound
have reduced this to 9 cents or even
less. and II copper has entered another
extended era of high ranges. as the stu
dents OF events and the cycles that seem
TO govern assert is positive, II will be
interesting TO watch and see how closely
TO the new order of, things the average
producer viii cleavc In the face OF the
temptations sure TO arise.

TO operate at a profit. the copper pro-

endured cheerfully with copper above
20 cents pound, and just when these
producers paused to draw the first easy
breath. feeling safe in having cut a few
cents or fractions OF cent from their
per pound production cost, copper turned
tail and proceeded TO leap to the highest
consistent range in several years.

day by Secretary Callbreath
of Mining Congress.

James F. CalIbreath, secretary OF the
American Mining congress, arrived In
Salt Lake city Wednesday morning for
the purpose of attending the sessions Of
the Transmississippt congress. and to
shake hands again with the local mining
men. When seen by The Tribune, Mr..
Callbreath was regarding telegram he
had just received from Washington with
a considerable amount OF gratiication.
Tor Il gave him the first information Of
the fact that one OF the last acts OF the
last congress. which died so hard the
first Of the week. WAS the appropriation
OF $4,000 for the furtherance OF the bu-
reau OF mines activities In the western
metal mining fields.
Mr.. Callbreath stated that the amount.
while smaller than was desired, is a
magnificent achievement, because IL is
the FIRST time congress has seen At TO
move Ia behalf OF the western metal min
ing industry. Ever since the bureau Of
nbines was organized the operations of the
Samc have becn confined by express pro-
visions In the acts OF congress TO coal
mining fields, any action heretofore OF
the bureau IN western metal fields be-
ing expressly prohibited.

Jamestown, N. D.. Nov. 1a.-Mrs.
Anna c. Crow Of Woodwork attempt

She shot herself twice in the left
breast. placed the revolver in its box
and put the box in her little handbag
and laid down to die.
She made the attempt when walk
ing up the mill hill south of James
town. Her body was discovered on
the grass a short distance east OF the
road.
Mrs. Durvall. who lives upon the
former Ringuette farm south Of the
city. was coming to Jamestown when
she noticed the form of Mrs. Crow in
the grass beside the road. She drove
rapidly to the city and Mayor Blew
EFT was informed. Pressing into serv-
ice the Orlady auto, with Louis Or

parently Nfeless form he saw that she
was seriously injured. She revived

to her. She said she was tired Of life
and shot herself.
She was tenderly lifted to the auto

Mrs. Crow becoming unconscious and
remaining in that condition since.
Both bullets We're removed from

SUICIDE

Prisoner on Train Enroute to

Carbolic Acid.

Dickinson. n. D.. Nov. 19.-Fred
Naurath. arrested at Medora, charged
with horse stealing and en- route to
Wadena, Mimi, in charge Of the
sheriff from there. faxed suicide by
drinking diluted carbolic acid short
ly after the arrival of n. p. train No.
4 at Dickinson. Naurath is said to
have hired a horse and buggy for Il
short drive at Wadena, Mimi. but
drove the rig to Medora, which result
ed in his arrest there and the sheriff
going to Medora after the prisoner.
On arrival at Dickinson Naurath told
the sheriff he was going to lie down
on the seat and go to sleep, al the
same time throwing his coat over his
head. but was detected drinking from
a small bottle, which developed later
contained diluted carbolic acid Of
sufficient strength to make a person
quite i'll, but a large quantity would
be required to seriously burn one.
The sheriff interfered and Naurath
succeeded in drinkin gonly a small
quantity OF the liquid. but swallowed
sufficient to make him sick and was
taken from the train to the kim ho-
tel. 1t was afterwards learned Naur-
ath's wife was in Dickinson, which
is basis for the belief that he deliber-
ately faxed suicide. believing that to
be a good way TO get a stop-over here
and visit his wife. In this he was
disappointed. when after examination
it was found the diluted acid had
done him little or nc injury, the sher-
if would not permit an interview.

MANSFIELD HAS
BEEN SUGGESTED
Recommended as Good Man
for Williston Land Office
-Mincker Slated.

Winston. \. D.. Nov. 19.-It is un.
derstood that the term of NJ. S. Will.
Jams. receiver of the Williston lane
office. expires during the first part OF
next year and it is to be expected that
his successor will be chosen from the
party that will inaugurate a new adj
m%inistration March 4. While few be-
lieve that Woodrow Wilson will draw
the party line with strictness, he will
be upheld in filling actual vacancies
from the ranks of those in sympathy
with him and whose continued efforts
and unwavering loyalty made the
nomination and election of a progress
sive democrat possible.
In this connection it would be graf
flying to many people Of Williston
land office to see the place worthily
and wisely filled by a resident of Will
liston. In looking the field over
friends of Charles a. Mansfield. re-
CARELESS of Party. feel that he is adj
mirably fitted and thoroughly deserv.
ing of the appointment when the va
cancy occurs. Mr.. Mansfield has long
been a staunch democrat but in re-
cent years has become a convert to
progressive principles and has thrown
his influence with that wing OF his
party. AS a delegate to the Balti-
more convention he stood firmly with
the rest OF the North Dakota dele>
cation for the success Of the progress
sive cause within the party. He is
financially interested in the commu-
nifty and acquainted with local condi-
,ions. He is also capable. broad and
liberal and his friends assert thai no
more popular or efficient man could
be named.

WOMAN GOREO BY
|NFUR|ATEO BULL
Met Horrible Death When
Infatuated Beast Attacked
Her-Body Crushed.

Mandan. n. D., Nov. 19.-Mrs
Christian DRESSER, wife Of a promi-
nent farmer residing two miles from
Raleigh. was gored to death by an in
furiated bull. The unfortunate woman
attired in a bright red dress, was
walking in the barnyard getting hay
for the stock when the bull made a
lung for her. Although she took re-
fuge behind a big post near by and
fought the beast with a pitchfork; and
the animal dashed with all its strength
into the post, the force Of the blow
break it in two. Mrs. Dressler fell to
the ground where the bull gored her
for perhaps half an hour before help
arrived. Her body was crushed and
all the bones broken, leaving little re-
semblance to a human being.
