w. A. CLARK oPTOMISTIc.

EX-Senator w A. Clarke of Montana was in Butte this week and was quos- ed as follows: ''The copper situation is no worse than the condition which prevails in other like industries and it should be noted that all securities have gone down a little in the past week or two, which is probably caused by the unrest which seems to prevail in many different parts of the world at the present time.
 "The last report of the copper pro- ducers' association, showing an in crease of 1S,0OO,OOO pounds over the consumption last month, throws something of a damper on the situa- tion although there is really no oc- casion for this. The copper reserves amount to 2O0,OOO,OOO pounds which is only a six weeks supply for the en- tire world. If the increase in produc- tion over consumption should be maintained at the rate of last month it would take two years to effect the copper market seriously.
 The industrial situation through out the United States is good. All manufacturing concerns have all the orders they can handle. The position of steel is unusually good and it is impossible to secure railway equip ment and structural steel without months of delay in the fulfiillment of orders.
 The new smelling plant for the United Verde mine in Arizona is pro gressing favorably and we are now beginning to put up the structural steel The new town is being built near the smelter which will be known as Clarkdale. We have just started operations in a large brickyard which will turn out 100000 bricks day.
 The smelter stack will be 400 feet high, made of steel and lined with brick, and will be 30 feet inside diameter The capacity of new plant will be 6,OOO,OOO pounds per month It should be finished in about year. Until it is completed the other plant will be operated"

SHATTUck-ARIZoNA.
Will Award Contract for Treatment
 of Silver Lead Ore.

The Shattuck-Arizona company is finding that it's recent discovery of extensive lead-silver ore looks more pleasing each day, Says the Bisbee Re view. This body of ore is in the Iron Prince claim, about the center of the proven ore bearing area of the property of the company.
 It has now been entered both above and below the copper body, through the 400 level and the 600, both worK- ings being from the main shaft. Enough is known about it to deter mine that it adds an asset of large value to the holdings of the con- pany.
 What will be the immediate re- turns from the ore in point of ton value will be determined only when the company has concluded a con tract for treatment. Shipments to date for smelter tests purposes have returned around $2O per ton.
 The ore runs from 10 to 75 per cent in it's lead contents alone. I tis ex- pected that treatment contract will be closed shortly, various concerns having been given an opportunity to bid and their figures are now being awaited.
 Besides it's work on production, Shattuck is now carrying about 300 feet of development per month. The company is working full shifts with a force that in competence corresponds to the high average obtaining the district.

S. p. IS BIGGEST TIMBER HOLDER
Railroad Company Has Oil Fields and
 Steamship Lines in Addition.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22-In addition to being interested in the largest steamship lines of the country and the greatest oil fields the South ern Pacific Railroad Company is dis closed in a report of the Department of Commerce and Labor to be the largest holder of standing timber in the United States.

 The holdings of these three inter ests are shown in the report as fol lows: The Southern Pacific, Weyer- hauser Timber and Northern Pacific Companies own 1O6, 96 and 36 billion feet of standing tim Der, respectively, in the Pacific Northwest. The South ern Pacific owns Al per cent of the privately owned timber in California and 17.7 per cent of that in Oregon. The three companies together have 23.5 per cent of all privately owned timber in the five states of the Pacific Northwest.

 JUMPS ON MOVING TRAIN.

BECKLEY, w. Va, Feb. 25.-Ar- rested on a charge of larceny two months ago, and held pending trial, Samuel Smith, thirty-seven years old, called through the cell door one morn ing that he was unable to move. Guards opened the door, and he con- vinced them he had no control over his legs. Physicians followed. 'He, s a confirmed paraltic,' they report ed.
 Nerve specialists made a final eX- animation and reported to the court that Smith was unable to go to trial and recommending also that he be freed, as he had only a short time to live.
 The court so ordered. Furnished with a new pair of crutches and much sympathy from jail officials, Smith struggled to the street A fast nov ing train was passing along as the ''paralytic'' passed through the iail yard door With a wild yell he threw away his crutches dashed for the train, leaped aboard gracefully, wav- ed his hands to the astonished guards and-he hasn't been seen since.

l
 The report says: Direct operating profit for the quarter $57S,621; other income $52O6; total net profits $5S3.- S27. The disbursed profits of the Ray & Gila Valley railroad are in- cluded in the operating profit. The of 15.04 cents per pound for copper. This is less than the average net sales price of the metal for the pc riod, the metal valuation for the quarter having been reduced suffi- ciently to permit Of carrying a nor nal stock of copper on hand and in transit at 12 1-2 cents per pound. The remainder of the total copper unsold at the end of the year was carried at 15 cents per pound.
 This reduction in the inventory val ue of metal stocks, most of which are ment at refineries, reflects cores bonding reduction in the quarters earnings as compared to what would be shown had they been based direct ly on the prices actually received for copper sold during the period.
 The development work underground on the mines for the quarter amount ed to approximately 2S,000 feet, bringing the total of underground work to date to 292,OOO feet. The average mining costs for the quarter, including all fixed and gen eral charges of every nature, but ex elusive of the regular 12 1-2 cents per ton charge for extinguishment and mine development expense, was 71 cents per ton.
 The mining costs in the western area tributary to the No. 2 shaft are still higher than those in the No. 1 section on account of the compara- lively smaller stoping area and linn ited development in the former. The surface plant at the No. shaft on original Ray Consolidated ground was completed at the end of the par ter Production of ore from the rel atively high grade body in this sec tion, will begin in a limited way on Jan. 1.
 The tonnage or Cn1S cnardcIer or ore will for the present be compara- lively small, because some time will be required to prepare this section for extensive mining. During the cur rent quarter, however, the tonnage from this section will increase rap idly
 During the quarter six sections of the mill at Hayden were in opera ton, as required to accommodate the tonnage available. The seventh sec tion was completed near the end of the quarter and is now available for use as needed.
 The greater part of the construc- ton work on the eighth and last sec tion has been finished. The compile tion of this section will conclude all construction work in connection with the mills and accessories, which with the exception of incidental items is Of small consequence.
 The total production of copper con- tained in concentrates during the quarter was 1O,49O,661 pounds, while the gross production for the year was 35,S61 ,496 pounds compared with the gross production of 15,721,5 ,520 pounds in the nine months of 1911.

100000 WORTH
OF RADIUM USED
ON CONGRESSMAN
Effort to Destroy Cancerous
Growth on X. e. Bremner.
Temporarily Embedded
in Shoulder

Baltimore, Md. December cit was
learned today that Congressman Robert
G. Bremner. of New Jersey. spent his
Christmas in Baltimore with 100000 worth
of radium temporarily Embedded In his
left shoulder in the hope that it would
destroy a eancerous growth.
The radium was imbedded in the con-
CHEESEMAN'S shoulder by DR.. Hoard A.
Kelly of Johns Hopkins. and was left
there long enough to send its properties
into every part of the cancer.
DR.. Kelly placed the radium in eleven
tubes, coated with a covering of rubber
and these tubes, each measuring about
two and a half inches in length and about
one-third of an inch in diameter were
planted in as many missions that were
made in the cancer The tubes were in
serted at II o'clock Thursday morning
and were removed IL hours later. The
result was carefully observed and 1t is
understood the tubes again will be I'M
bedded in Mr.. Bremners cancer tomor-
low.
Tho operation is said TO be one of the
| in this country and if successful in pro-
ducing either an Improvement or a cure
will mark a decisive step in the advance
ment of the treatment of cancer by radio
active therapeutic methods.

POLICE JUST|FIEDIN
DISPENSING MOB
Los Angeles City Council
Reports on Thursdays
Riots

Los Angeles, Cal, December 26.-The
police were justified in dispensing the
meeting yesterday of 1000 unemployed
men at the plaza at the cost of the life
of one. the arrest of 70 and the clubbing
of many others, according to members
of the public welfare committee of the
city council.
That decision was reached late today
after an official investigation of the af-
fair which convinced the committee that
the riot was started by the idle men
Observation-Disclosures Workers of the
World and Mexicans and other foreign
ers-when the police attempted to stop a
public meeting which was behing held
without a permit contrary to the city
ordinances.
1t was decided to issue complaints to-
morrow charging disturbances of the
peace against 80 of the 70 men arrested,
the belief being that it would be easier
to obtain convictions upon that charge
than upon rioting.
A more serious charge-probably as
sault with a deadly weapon-will be placed
against Jesus Sovia, the Mexican accused
of having stabbed Police Lieutenant II.
w. r. Kriege in the neck after hav-
ing knocked him down.
During the councils investigation many
witnesses were heard. They included Of
ficers who We're bruised with stones
thrown by the rioters and some of the
leaders of the disturbance. Among the
latter was Peter Castorna, an Indus
trial Worker of the World, who accused
the police of having kicked and beaten
the Mexicans about the plaza. He said
that as an Industrial Workers of the
World, he believed the United States gov
eminent had disinherited him and that
as soon as the organization of which he
was a member was strong enough ii
would take over the government.

WORKMEN MADE TO
PAY CAMPAI FUND
DECLARES HEARNEY
Former Canal Superintend-
ent of Canal System on
Stand i'm New York i'm
the Graft Probe

Albany, n. Y, December 26.-Owen l..
kearney, formerly section superintendent
of the state canal system, testified at
the Osborne investigation into state high
way affairs today that he had received
approximately $1,000 from canal workmen
in contributions during the political cam
paign of 1912. These contributions repre-
scented assessments Of about per cent of
their pay on all worllmer within his ter
ritory for a period of five months.
w. c. Elmendorff, a foreman of canal
shops, testified he received from another
subordinate of Kearney, Harry Bogue a
list of the workmen and the amounts each
had been assessed. These amounts were
deducted from their pay.
Kearney attempted to explain that the
assessment We're made by the organiza-
ton known as the Jefferson club, but adj
United that all employees irrespective Of
political affiliations, were required to
meet the assessments OF the funds so
collected 1914 went to Walter G. Robinson,
the canal division superintendent, and the
rest to two officers Of the jefferson club.
The witness understanding was that the
money paid to Robinson went to the
democratic state committee.
When James X. MCGUIRE former mayor
OF Syracuse, was called as a witness Com
missioner Osborne produced letter from
District Attorney Whitman of New York
city, advising that Mcclure be not per-
mitted to testify unless he would waive
immunity AS the witness through his
counsel, refused to do this on the ground
that he is under Indictment. Commissioner
Osborne ruled that no question could be
asked in relation to the soliciting or pro-
curing of campaign funds from corpora
tions which formed the base of his indict-
ment. This limited the inquiry to details
of the furnishing of asphalt to the state

Little Blind Birds

Paris, December 26.-(Special )-Tourists
to Fiesole have noticed the linnets, gold
fnches, and larks that are hung in cages
outside the inns. All are bind-blinded
to make them sing, the peasants will
tell you.
These birds are used decoys in the
mating season, when their cages are
placed under the field nets to attract
others. If they Were not blinded they
would stop singing as soon as the wild
birds approached, and the latter would be
warned away from the nets
For several years humane legislators
have been trying to have a law passed
prohibiting the binding of birds. The
bill came up again this week, but with
the provision that 1.-The use of blinded
decoy birds shall be permitted for only
five years after the law is promulgated
Ex-Premier Luzzatti strongly opposed
this provision. He said that numerous
birds are now being purposely blinded in
order to be used for decoy purposes dur
ing the next five years, and he compared
this shameful practice to the massacre
of the innocents. In his speech he quoted
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1913-12-27

from Saint Francis of Assist, who be-
leVed that birds and animals had souls.
An attempt was made to justify the OBJ
noXious provision on the ground that the
simple prohibition of the use of artii-
cially blinded decoy birds would mean
their immediate destruction.
The bill. however, was finally passed
without the provision. The mea sure is
most important, for besides the protec-
ton is gives animals generally and the
repression of i'll treatment and cruelty, it
will also limit viViseetion to the govern
ment laboratory.

CARNOTITE FOUND
IN PENNSYLVANIA

Philadelphia. December 26.-Carnotite
from which radum is produced. has been
discovered along the base of Mount
Pisgah near Maush Chunk, Pa, accord

whose experiments with radum as a cure
for cancer have attracted wide attention
and DR.. Edgar r. Wherry. geologist for
the national musemum. Washington. to-
day visited Mauch Chunk and examined
the deposits.
Rerecent tests by the United States bu-
reau of mines disclosed the presence OF
radlum producing minerals in the de-
posits it was said. DR.. Wherry today
declared the Carnotite contains about two
per cent uranium oxide. From a ton OF
this oxide los millegrams of radium can
be produced by chemical and electrical
processes.
