verdict of $4,000 against the company.
The Metropolitan Street Railroad COM
pany refused to pay this claim and
managed by devious ways to have Ben
jamin Oppenheim disbarred. One OF
the employees of the company was
told to burn certain vouchers he had
in his possession, but believing they
would some day be of value to him
did not do so. In 1915 this mans land
lady discovered among the papers the
data which proved that Oppenheim
was wrongfully disbarred. Her evil
dence restored him to the bar. The
verdict received by him II years ago

sum of $4,000. but still the girl can
not, because of the bankruptcy OF the
street railway company. collect the

WALKERS WEEKLY COPPER
LETTER.

Copper is stronger and the price,
advance is continuing. Lake is IS
Ito 13 Ia cents and electrolytic is IL
71S to 13 cents pound.
! Sales are reported to have been made
this week at 13 cents for February
delivery. Producing interests are
now in position where they can
afford to be Independent. They are
not pressing copper for sale and
many Of them are refusing to sell
more than small lots at going quota
tons.
There is increasing evidence that
the existing supplies of copper are
being drawn upon quite heavily. The
worlds present production is probably
not much more than so per cent of
normal, and it is doubtful If consump-
ton has decreased more than Is to
80 per cent. If the worlds normal
consumption Is 2,4oo. 100000 pounds
annually, therefore, production IS prob
ably running between 1,20O, 200, 900
and 1,SOO,0 100000 pounds, and con-
sumption is believed to be at the
rate of approximately 1,500,0O0,O0O
rounds annually At the present rate
of both, therefore, it would require
only little more than a year longer
to absorb all the existing surplus.
AS has been pointed out previously,
it will be for the best interests of the
trade if the producers arrange to have
fairly large stocks of the metal on
hand when the war ends, as undoubted
ly there will be very heavy buying
demand Immediately thereafter. II
the producers are not in position
> supply the depleted stocks of Euro
can consumers at that time, there
ill be a sensational advance in
:,rlces from which few if any will
benefit, and it naturally will be fol
lowed later by very considerable de-
cline.
Apparently not rev foreign con-
suners are afraid that something of
rs kind may happen. They are
lowing a disposition to buy more
.eeiy of late and their purchases are
argely responsible for the last half
ent advance in prices. They know
that copper is cheap at Is cents

FIGHT FOR TIME ON
DRY LAW
Arrangements Being Made for Hear
ing of Case at Los Angeles by
Three Federal Judges.

TUCSON, Dec. THE tactics Of
the liquor interests in their fight on
the prohibition amendment will be
for time, according to John B. Wright,
one of their attorneys and not to de-
feat the will of the people. This
policy was decided upon at the confer
ences held in Phoenix.
The position to be taken in the
suit which is to be filed in few
days in the federal court. will be
that If the law is f-executing, it is
confiscatory and unconstitutional,
but that if not self-executing it is
constitutional and the legislature
must enact laws for its enforcement.
The length of time that his clients
want in which to dispose of their
stocks has not been formally dis
cussed, according to Mr.. Wright. If
the plan works out, that will be TAX
en- up before the legislature, a petit
ton to that body asking for time. but
not specifying any definite period,
now being in circulation.
Eugene s. Ives has taken up with
Judge William H. Sawtelle of the
federal court the matter of arrang-
ing for a hearing. Under the federal
law. where an interlocutory decree
is asked, three judges, one of whom
is a Judge of the circuit court Of ap-
pea1s, must sit

ton for the Injunction will be heard

Among others retained by the wet
forces are Leroy Anderson of Pres
colt, and Ernest w Lewis of Phoe-
nix. George Purdy Billiard. whose
resignation as encouragement took
effect Friday, also is expected to be
associated with the wet forces.
Early Decision Expected.
.'The question is one that can, in
my opinion, be decided quickly by
the Judges" said Mr.. Wright. 1--WE
want to get a decision before the
FIRST of the year if we can. It
ought to be possible to decide it up
on the arguments before the court.
"In the decision of the United
states supreme court in the case of
Eberle vs. Michigan, published last
May, it was decided that time must
be given for the disposal of stocks
of liquor.
.'The liquor interests of this state
have been given only twenty-eight
days They cannot know what the
law is. until the governors procla-
nation has been issued.
THE government will not permit
them to sell their stocks in other
states without taking out new Ii

TAIeINes IN SAN
FRANCISCO RIVER


Evans Coleman, tailings inspector
for the canal companies, returned from
Clifton Saturday, where he spent sew
lerai days inspecting the storage
tanks of the Detroit and Arizona Cop
per companies, and found that there
were no tailings coming from either
of these companies storage tanks.
Mr.. Coleman did find tai1ings in
the Frisco river above Clifton, show
ing that the tailings were coming in
to the river from the mining com
panies' mills operating in the Mogol-
Clifton.
Mr. Coleman called the attention
| of several disinterested parties to
the presence of the tailings in the
river and that they were not coming
from the mills in Clifton
Mr.. Coleman also reports that there
were more tailings in the Frisco
river at Clifton than he ever saw in
the ella river when the tailings
were coming from the mills of the
mining companies at Clifton.
Mr. Coleman suggests plan
which might easily be accomplished
VI it'll some good results. He says it
would be a good idea for the newly
elected members to the State legis-
lature from this county to pay
visit to Clifton and the Frisco river
and investigate the conditions with
the object of bringing the matter
to the attention of the next State
legislature and have the State take
some action to put a stop to the
mining companies, operating on the
Frisco river in New Mexico, dump
ing the tailings from their plants in
to the Frisco river.
The Water Users Association
should also send a committee to in
vestigate the conditions at the min
ing camps in the Mogollon mountains.

The injunction to be asked by the

that suit will question the constitu-
tionality of the law on the ground that
the use of wine in the sacrament can

Arizona will have direct interest
in the fate of the Webb-Kenyon bill,
the constitutionality of which has
been questioned. The case IN now
pending in the supreme court of the
United States. This law prohibits
the shipment Of alcoholic liquors in

constitutional, the railroads will re-

it is not, the prohibition of the Ari-

unless YOU were satisfied that he had
told YOU things well worth it; that
events were unfolding day by day
in their lives just as he told them
they would, and my engineer swear'
that he saved his life-and me sew
eral hundred dollars-by telling him
of a defective water gauge on the
engine. We might have all been
blown to perdition otherwise. Well, |
finally decided that, if he could tell
things so accurately, he could bene-
fit me, as I had several doubtful
deals pending upon which / needed
authentic information. Well, I've al
ways been rather hard-headed and
resentful toward those who essayec
to tell me how to run my business,
so / hesitated, but finally did go to
see what he would tell me, and l was
surprised. In DR.. Mundo / found a
very unassuming man who did not
pretend to tell me how to run things
He outlined simply and straightfor-
wardly one after another OF my life's
interests, both business and social
He warned me against signing pend
