ALEXANDRIA'S LEGAL
MIDDLE UNRAVELLED
Virginia Assembly Passes Bill to
Restore Status of Police
Justices.

Alexandria, Va, Feb. 6.-The passage
by the house of delegates in Richmond
this afternoon Of a bill presented by Del
egate ]. Fred Birrell. OF this city par
TALLY unravels the legal tangle brought
about by the passage by the last legisla-
ture of a bill providing for a civil and
police justice for this city.
To complete the work. it now remains
for the State senate to favorably act on
the bin Monday. In the latter event
Alexandria will be restored to its former
legal status in so far as the police justice
Is concerned. The law will provide that
the police justice will try only criminal
cases and that the office will be an Rp-
pointive one.
This action was brought about through
the efforts of Alderman J. w. Summers
and Councilman H. r. Burke, who went
to Richmond yesterday with view OF
having the legislature repeal the law for
the election of a civil and police justice,
to become operative January l. 1916.
Lewis H. Machen, former State senator
of this city, prepared the bill which was
presented.

COTTON AND THE GREE
DOM OF THE SEAS"

AS has been pointed out before,
Great Britain during the Russo
Japanese war was the leading
opponent of a movement to de-
clare cotton contraband and sub
ject to confscation. That was
because British India was ex-
porting to Japan, and such pro-
cedure would have hurt British
business. Because of Great
Britain S strenuous opposition to
the movement, cotton was not
declared contraband, and the
trade went on.
Now the orders in council"
appear to Great Britain to be
necessary" and so the mis-
tress of the Seas completely re-
verses her position, making her
former declaration mere scraps
of paper" Cotton now is sub
ject to confiscation, and the
South's market for it's one product
is effectually closed. Necessity
seems to be the final law of ma
tons. The European war has
emphasized the fact that a strong
nation may do as it's necessity"
demands. international law is for
those nations which have not the
power to enforce their whims up
on the world. The moral would
seem to be that nations must be
powerful, from a military and
naval standpoint, if they are to
getjustice. Arkansas Democrat.

CHARGED WITH STEALING A MULE

Richard White, who stole a
mule from T. C. Carter of Cotton
Plant about three years ago, was
caught at Hope last week by w.
0. Barrentine who brought him
to this city Sunday. White told
a reporter for the News that he
caught a train at the Cache River
bridge on the Rock Island after
releasing himself from the county
Jail at Cotton Plant and went to
Oklahoma. Last week he was
recognized by Mr.. Barrentine
and arrested. White brought
the mule to McCrory and sold it
to Barrentine.
When he told his name, Bar
rentine who lives at Hope, asked
if he was the man who stole the
mule at Cotton Plant and he said
he was but he came clear of the
charge. Mr.. Barrentine having
been to Cotton Plant and learned
since that White broke jail knew
that he did not clear himself of
the charges, but never let White
be any the wiser until he had
him arrested to bring him back.
Deputy Sheriff Chas. w. Brooks
of Cotton Plant came up Sunday
and carried the prisoner back to
Cotton Plant for trial which will
take place at the coming term of
Circuit Court.

JAcKLINe PROPERTY
 EARNS s1s.OOO.Ooo

BOSTON The Utah Copper Com pany is now on the last lap Of year that will beat all it's previous records as to production, costs and earnings. It will be so far ahead of any prev ious year that the comparison is startling. And the reasons? First, the price of copper has averaged up higher than in any year since the company has been Q big factor in the industry. But of more importance Is that in 1915 the Utah Copper Com pany has been able to produce in suf- ficiently large volume to get the high est efficiency out of It's large plant.
 Thanks to the issuance of quarterly reports, it is possible to make close approximation at this time of what the company will show for the full year. Taking the known factors for the nine months ended September 30 the production of 1120OO.OOO pounds cost 6% cents. earnings Sll,OOO,OOO and estimating the balance of the year. the Utah Copper Company will show about as follows: A produc- ton of 15S.OO0O0O pounds. cost 6% cents and the net earnings of $16,- 900 ,OO0, or nearly 610 per share. This assumes an output of 46,000.000 pound a 6% .cent cost and net of S5.000,0OO for the last quarter As the produc- ton was 44,7OO.O00 pounds. cost 6% cents and net $4.4O0.00O in the prev ious quarter with copper at 16A cents per pound. these figures should be conservative. The net of $16,OO0,O0O includes the regular dividends which the company will have received from the Nevada Consolidated-about ST. 25O O0O. Equity in that company's undivided earnings will amount to as much more.
 Compared to 1914. the best previous year. the production will have in- creased 4O.OO0.OOO pounds. the costs reduced a half cent per pound, and the net practically doubled. This Is the record of a property which a few years ago vas looked at askance by many "doubting Thomases."
 This excellent 1915 exhibit fails to reflect properly the present situation. The company Is now producing at the rate of 175,000.000 to lS0,000,OOO pounds per annum and earning Sl4 per share from it's own operations (Boston News Bureau.)

DRILLING WILL DETERMINE VALUE
 OF "THIRD VEIN'

Lynch Brothers have signed con- tract with the Alaska GolG-Belt Com pany to drive a diamond drill hole for practically 1000 feet farther into the formation from the end of their development tunnel in the upper end of the Sheep Creek Basin. The snow slide recently made it impossible to continue driving on the tunnel at the present time and the diamond drill crew will be set to work to prospect the property. When the drill hole is finished 1t will give mining men and others interested an accurate estimate Of the value of the Third Vein in the Juneau Gold Belt. something which they have been unable to secure as yet
 The Third Vein is known locally as the Gould & Curry vein these men having worked Q prospect on top of Sheep Creek Mountain for several years. and developed some very rich ore
 The Juneau Gold Belt is composed of three well defined mineralized belts namely the Silver Queen. the Perse- verance and the Gould & Curry. This diamond drilling will glve an accurate estimate of the worth of the Third Belt at depth of 5000 feet. all other work on this belt having been done on the surface.
 As soon as able to resume active tunnel driving on the property, Man. ager A. B. Dodd stated yesterday, a drift trendlng to the south and follow Ing the vein will be driven for sever al thousand feet. AS soon as this drift has demonstrated the proper place to tap the ore, the long operat- ing tunnel from the beach will be started and work rushed until the property can take It's place among the active producers of this district.
