WHEN HEAD OF SCHOOL FOR
DEAF AT SULPHUR WAS RE-
MOVED WITHOUT CHARGES,
PEOPLE SPOKE.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 12.-Several
days ago, when a delegation from
Sulphur called upon Governor r. L.
Williams at his office in the Mer.
camille building to inquire if it was
not possible to secure the retention
of Prof. Read as head of the state
school for the deaf at Sulphur, the
states chief executive said, substan-
italy:
you folks down there are never
satisfied. If you don't accept what
we give you and quit complaining, |
will take the school away from you"
To this a business man who head
ed the delegation replied:
Look here, governor; you are not
all of the state. We have a legis.
lature and a supreme court. You are
not all of it by any means. Now,
helped secure your nomination and
voted and worked for you at the
election. but l want to say to you
right now, you will not remove that
school from our town Just, because
we ask that a capable man, who is
being iobbed by politicians, be re-
tanned"
The governor maintained his char
acteristic obduracy and the Cruce
appointee was succeeded by Texas
democrat.

TY - MAYOR HAS CoMMUNICA-
TION FROM STATE BOARD OF
AFFAIRS WHICH is SELF Ex.
PLANATORY.

Some are inclined to Think that the
recent good roads meeting at the city
hall failed to accomplish very much
but since the meeting the mayor has
been busy with the state board of
affairs, and today received the fol.
lowing communication from the sec.
retary, which will explain to the tax
payers the method of securing the
prisoners to work the roads, and the
cost of maintaining them.
oklahoma City, Aug. II, 1915.
"Mr. Val Mullen, Mayor,
"Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Dear Mr. Mullen:
Your letter of the 10th instant has
been received. | beg to advise that
Mr.. Aydelotte is away en- vacation
and will probably not return before
the first Of September.
''In answer to your questions, | beg
to advise that the county commits
sioners should comply with the law,
which is about as follows:
"They should, by the aid OF the
county engineer, lay out what roads
they feel should be worked at once,
designating the same as state roads.
They should mark these roads on the
county map, file one copy with the
county clerk and mail the other copy
to the state highway department for
its approval. AS soon ds this road
shall have been approved by the high
way department, your reIuisition for
prisoners will be filled. / am not
able to say that we can give you fifty
prisoners at one time; It depends a
great deal on how many counties will
want these prisoners at the same
time you want them.
Relative to your questions as to
what we furnish besides the prison
ers, l beg to advise that we will fur
nish tentage and work teams and
tools that we have on hand that can
be spared from the prison. The coun-
ty will have to bear the expense of
feeding and transporting the prison
ers. While the law says that the
prisoners will be fed from the peni-
tentiary appropriation, | will say that
this is not possible, for the reason
that this law was passed after the ap-
preparation was made for the main
tenance of these prisoners. The ap-
preparation was made on Tie basis Of
keeping the prisoners inside the walls
of the penitentiary, which is practi-
cally nothing to what il will be out
on the road gang, and since the last
Legislature passed a law raking it
felony to create a deficit without the
written consent Of the governor, and
since the governor refuses to give
his written consent to create a de-
ficit for anything that is not an emer.
gency, we will not be abb to comply
with this part of the provision Of the
law.
Very respectfully.
STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC
AFFAIRS.

lowing:

relative to the removal of Prof. Read,

Illinois. When he was p pleparing to

school and the town, and J may say
that is the sentiment Qf the entire
population of the town. Only one
man has had a word to say against
you, and that man is Il hardware
dealer"
And thereby hangs a tale; one of
truth, not fiction.
When the school for the deaf was
being constructed here, Prof Read
found there were two hardware deal
ers in the town. When il came to
placing some orders for hardware ma
terials, he divided the business be-
tween the two dealers. That started
something. and from that hour up to
July last the dealer who had prev
iously secured all the business from
the school is said to have busted him
self almost constantly in laboring for

this man for metal door fixtures

CLARK DOUBTFUL IF METAL PRICES WILL
 STAY HIGH LONGER
Owners of Butte Properties and United Verde Doubtful Wheth- CT Continued High Price of Copper Can Be Expected.

BUTTE. July INV. A. Clark. of Butte and New York, has just made an inspection of his new smelter at Clarkdale, Ariz.. six miles below Je- rome, and says it is working with great satisfaction The new plant has four blast furnaces, five conyerters and three reyerberatories.
 One of each always is held in re- serve, SO that when the plant is run ming full blast, to which point it is being opened as rapidly as possible, there will be three blast furnaces, four converters and two reverbera. tories in full operation.
 One furnace and one converter at the old plant will be used until the new plant is going full The new plant will produce 6,0O0,OO0 pounds of copper per month.
 The old plant will be dismantled, as 1t stands on valuable mining ground which will be worked, not be- cause the ore is needed there being ample ore reserves in the United Yer de property, but because the oxidized

ANACONDA NOW EMPLOYS MORE MEN THAN
 EVER
Big Butte Company Employing More Men Than Ever Before in Its History; Reported Inter eSted in South America.

BUTTE Mont, July l7-The Ana conda Copper Mining Company is at present employing more men in the mines of Butte than at any time in the history of the company or of the Butte district The demand for the metal became so great that the com pany restored a Sunday working schedule, which had been abolished for more than year.
 However, after the first Sundays work at the mines a serious accident happened in the concentrator at Ana conda and one-half of the plant was practically wrecked. necessitating a shutdown of that portion of the con centrator and a suspension of mining at the mines in Butte for three days.
 The mines also closed for double holiday on the Fourth, which will show in a decreased copper produc- ton for the present month Work at all the mines was resumed July and the concentrator damage was repaired
 The accident was a remarkable one Huge steel shaftings ranging from seven to 10 inches in diameter and driven by two 12O0-horse power mo- tors. were twisted like hairpins, and big pulley wheels and journals were smashed like crockery.
 It is stated on apparently good au- thority that the Anaconda company has entered the copper field in South America and controls the Andes Elk ploration company of Chile. which for many months has been carrying on extensive exploration and develop ment work in Chile under the direc- tion of William Braden, who was the discoverer and developer of the prop erty now owned by the Braden Cop per company.
 MT Braden was in Butte recently in conference with Anaconda officers, and it was understood that importap mining matters were under consider alton but it was not known at that
Bisbee daily review., 1915-07-18

time that he was working for the com pany in new copper fields of South America.
 The report that the Anaconda com. pany is in control of the Andes com pany is especially interesting from the fact that this is the first time that the Anaconda has actively en. gagged in mining operations outside of the United States. The Anacon. da company is especially we'll equip ped to bring the new venture to a successful issue.
 The investigations which have been conducted by the Andes Evaporation company have not been confined to copper mines alone, but its engineers are also very active in the tin fields .of Bolivia, looking toward the devel- opment of promising prospects on it's own account
 IL is stated that copper deposit near Portrerillos is being extensively drilled and is giving promise of be- coming a large mine. Portrerilos is about 30 miles southeast of Pueblo Hondido in Northern Chile, and a rail- way connects Pueblo Hondido with the port of Chanaral

character of the ore where the old shelter stands will lend itself admir-. ably to being smelted. Whatever machinery at the old plant that could be made use of was moved to the new plant.
 Regarding the metal situation in the United States, Senator Clark says: "The allies in the war are users of great quantities of metal for general purposes as well as for military ope- rations When the war came on our industries were nearly prostrated
 Metal producers voluntarily cut their output to one-half of normal and that was the cause until few months ago when metal price rose and went to their present high level That was an incentive for new enterprise as well as stimulating a large increase in the output of all going concerns.
 At present there is twice the amount of copper produced that there was the first of the year. Some new industries are just beginning, such as Inspiration, and there is a very large new copper mine and plant in South America, which will produce as much as the Anaconda company.
 At the present rate of output it seems a question whether prices will hold up. Outputs were absorbed at their former rate of production when the war broke out, and there is a question as to whether there will be absorption of the augmented produc- ton.
 The same applies to zine. It re. mains to be seen whether the demand will equal the supply. If not, the re-
