Mineral Point held its first Commuu-
ity Institute on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of last week. 1t is more
than pleasing to The Democrat to an
nounce that it was great success. The
attendance was large at each session,
and at each place where the meetings
were held-St. Mary's Hall, the Parish
House, aud the Congregational Church
Lecture room.
The keynote of the community in
stitute was that the interests of the
country and city are one. and the nee
essity of doing team work for the gen
eral welfare The instructors remind
ed the people that the most important
crop in the country and city is the boys
and girls, and showed that i'll many
cities very inadequate provision is made
for the recreation of young people, who
should nave the most favorable condi-
tions for developing physical strength
so that when they grow older they may
have mental vigor and be enabled to
meet the problems of life without be-
ing handicapped by weak bodies and
i'll health. Great stress was laid upon
the knowledge and practice of hygeine
and the careful observance of all the
conditions upon which health depends
1t was urged that every effort should
be made to have the young people grow
up to become good men and women, in
order that the state might be spared
the expense of criminal courts, iails
and reformatories, and on the theory
that a man is of more value than
sheep.
The Luncheon at ST. Mary's Hall,
Wednesday noon was gathering of
men and women from the country and
the city that clearly demonstrated at
the start that the Institute would be of
mumity. The addresses of Prof. E, G.
Gotham, DR.. j. l.. Gillin, Prof. r. ).
Butler, and Mr.. E. G. Fielder, were
able and in keeping with the occasion.
Because they have been learners all
their lives, those in charge of the work
of the institute came with lessons and
the program, as published in the papers
of the city. We're made; and these We're
merely changes in the time of consider
ing two or three of the subjects. The
earnestness of the instructors and their
preparation generally for the work in
which they are engaged won the closest
attention.
No review of the proceedings is here
attempted. 1t is enough to say that the
institute was we'll received and the uni
ty of purpose on the part of the in
structors and the people of the city and
country was truly commendable The
University people who came here ex
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with the welcome extended to
them and the interest manifested from
the beginning to the close of the lnsti-
tute. On Friday night in the lecture
room of the Congregational Church,
Prof. Gillen gave an interesting talk to
the audience of nearly one thousand.
Each number of the program by home
talent was we'll carried out. The pro-
gram consisted of vocal and instru
mental music and reading by Mrs. j.
F. Hendra. 1t not only demonstrated
that Mineral Point possesses musical
and literary talent of high order, but
it tittingly closed season of real profit
and pleasure.

Ward, He spoke on the subject Of the
social center and the community 5
welfare. He put it we'll when he said
that no man is big enough nor good
enough to give to a community build
ings or grounds for real social center.
The true American idea is for the peo-
pie to work out their social activities in
their own public buildings and grounds
After three days untiring efforts to
make the community institute success
ful and beneficial to all Prof Gilliu
on Friday evening of last week deliver
ed the closing address to a large
audience. After congratulating all
who by their efforts and appreciation
helped to make the institute a success
and expressing his great pleasure at the
results accomplished, he addressed
especially the young people, of whom
the audience was largely made up.
The address was delivered with en-
thusiasm and was full of inspiration to
students and to all who are endeavoring
to fit themselves for their life work
and all We're reminded how essential it
is at this time to fit themselves to be-
come good citizens, and how sad it is
to become nristit or burden on society.
In order to give the boys chance the
community should have an agricultural
school, also manual training and
domestic science.
The address was Il message of cour-
age and hope, and all were encouraged
to work and endeavor to acquire tough
ness of fiber skill, and efficiency

work.

The address of j. T. Donaghey, chief
inspector for the highway division,
was very practical and helpful. He
spoke on Highways and Community
Welfare. He is road builder who has
made good, and he has a good under
standing of the great road question
and expresses his views in clear and
vigorous manner.

The sessions at the Parish House
were devoted to many questions in the
home. The various materials used in
the home, their production, manu-
facture and manner of testing their
quality, We're dwelt upon. Many helps
in the work of the household especially
those which can be used with the great
motor power of electricity and when
once installed operated at small ex-
pense We're explained. Many ideas
profitable to those building new homes
might be gained, Principles of good
taste in simple home furnishings were
mentioned and illustrated by means of
pictures Many helpful suggestions in
the care of the sick, in the use of APP
pliances and simple remedies which
can be kept in any home were also
! given.
The talks by DR.. Maude Williams
We're widely appreciated. DR.. Will
liams dwelt especially on the duty of a
mother to her own children in her own
home. She said that so many of the
things necessary to the training of boys
and girls required mother to do them,
and that upon the mothers rested
solemn responsibility
AS has been said by one of the
mothers who listened to her IF the
mothers of Mineral Point would profit
by and put into practice what DR..
Williams told them, that alone would
be worth the cost of the Institute.
The illustrated lecture on health by
Dr. d. w. Frost, associate professor of
bacteriology, University of Wisconsin,
was one of the most valuable features
of the institute, In a simple, clear
manner DR.. Frost impaired much
scientific knowledge which is good for Il
community's health to know
/ l.. w. Hutchcroft, secretary of the
State Board of Health, ably presented
to large audience on Friday afternoon
the question of the economic loss from
preventable diseases. He showed the
real value OF human life and how it
ought to be conserved
The conductors of the Institute did
not come as entertainers. They are
simply field workers in the world work
The Commercial Club proved valu
able asset for Mineral Point. 1t greatly
aided in carrying out the purposes of
the Institute,
! The success of the Institute shows
/ that great things can be accomplished
/ by co operation. 1t further shows that
majority Of people are interested in
| the larger purposes Of life, and are
anxious TO aid in solving the tasks set
for today The attendance at each ses
/ sion more than met expectations. The
extension work Of the University Of
| Wisconsin is truly making il uniyer
sity for the many, and not merely for
| the few.

FIST COPPER ARIZONA.

Register Thomas F. Weedin of the land office disputes the honor accord ed to Newton Marsh as being the first man to smelt copper in Arizona. He says that before the Gadsden pur- chase, as well as afterwards <, Peter Brady, Granville Oury, Phil D'Armot and seven other Americans engaged in that business in an adobe smelter located at the Ajo mine, which they were working. The smelter product was shipped to Yuma, thence by water to Swansea, and along with it was shipped the high grade copper ore which was not smelted. During their operations a force of 300 MeXi- can troops were sent to drive them out of the country, but they refused to be driven and successfully defend ed themselves against the superior force sent to dislodge them.

What Phoenix Thinks.

PHOENIX, March 9.-Unless for mer Judge Frank J. Duffy of Nogales can be persuaded to enter the race, Senator Mark Smith is likely to be without any Democratic opponent this year excepting Reese M. Ling.
 There is a movement on foot to get Duffy into the race. The de- mand for Duffy seems to come main ly from the Hunt element of the Democratic party, but Duffy's record is such that he will be sure of much support from the conservative crowd, led by George A. Olney.
 Duffey's name has been heard ire quently in Phoenix of late in con- nection with the senatorship. Wheth- CT anyone has mentioned the matter to Duffy himself is not known.
 For a time it was assumed that Governor Hunt and his friends would be lined up for Eugene s. Ives as Mark Smiths successor, but Ives has declined, giving business as his req son.
 Senator A. A. Worsley's name has been mentioned in connection with the senatorship but WorsIey's pres ent state of mind is somewhat sim liar to that of Ives Worsley is mak- ing a speciality of personal injury cases and his practice has grown to great proportions during the last year. It is barely possible that he will be out for senator but well

Trade Waiting for February Statis. tics Before Making New Prices.

The metal trade is waiting for the publication of the February copper statistics before naming new prices. During the past week quotations have shown a downward tendency, but sales have been light for the most part.
 Lake producers are generally sold up to the middle of this month and are not making any offerings. Elec- trolytic has been selling at IA 1-2 cents and it is rumored- that this price would be shaded for desirable business. Casting is IA 3S cents.
 Complete figures of the export movement of copper in 1913 have been compiled showing new high records. Exports in 1913 aggregated 926 Al, JAP pounds as against 775,O0O,65S pounds in 1912.

WASHINGTON. March

WASHINGTON, March 4th,-At- torney General Bullard, of Arizona, and B. s. Clark, prominent attorney and former attorney general of the state are here to appear before the Supreme court in argument of the suit of the state against the Copper Queen Mining company for the col lection of back taxes alleged due. With interest and court costs, the amount now claimed aggregates more than $200,000 The original claim was $120,049. 20.
 The original suit was filed Febru- ary 12, 1908. The taxes claimed due date from 1904 until the date of fil- ing suit. The refusal of the Copper Queen to pay was based on alleged improper charge over and above amounts paid in the period between 1904 and 1908. In the Superior court of Cochise county decision againsE the state was rendered by Judge Nave. He granted a new trial in which Judge Doan sat. He also found against the state.
