JURORS SUMMONED BY MAIL
New Law Enacted by Last Legislature
Meeting With Approval

Austin Reveille: The new law
which provides for service on jurors
by registered mail is meeting with
general approval by all except the
jurors. 1t is reported from different
parts of the State that numerous
cases are recorded where men re-
fused to call for their mail, when ex-
pecting a summons to serve on the
jury. Several have been fined for
contempt of court in the State.
Sheriff Bar Francis, of this county,
sent all jury summons this time under
special delivery stamp. There will
be no chance for evasion.
The new system is said to be an
economical one for the county and
the sheriff's office.
The Summer term of the Third Ju.
dicial District Court will convene in
Austin July Z. with Judge Hart OF
Fallon presiding.

LEAD REACHES SEVEN
CENTS Per POUND
Tremendous Increase In Exporta-
ton Said to Be the Cause
of Advance

That 1915 will be looked back upon
as the metal year" is becoming
more evident to producers Of copper,
zinc and lead-silver ores, says the
Salt Lake Tribune of June Is. Sales
Of lead were reported in New York
yesterday at z cents q pound, and
copper was reported as selling around
the Decent point. The rise il the
price of lead over the recent quota
ton of S4.20per hundred pounds to
81 per hundred pounds means an in
crease of from So to as high as $12
per ton on the various grades Of lead
ore that are being shipped from the
producing mines. Those conversant
with the reduction in lead stocks are
predicting 10-cent lead.
The present price of lead is the
highest price in many years. A
glance back over the course of aver
age prices Of the metal since 1850
discloses the fact that during 1856
the average price Of the metal
reached z cents a pound; in 1864 the
average price again reached the T.
cent point, and once more in 1866.
Since that time the average yearly
price of the metal has declined
steadily. reaching its low point of 8
cents a pound in 1896 and its highest
average price Of 81 cents a pound in
1906. The average yearly price in
1907 vas 5.3 cents a pound. since
which time it has fiuctuated between
AZ cents and "A cents a pound until
the recent rise.
The reasons given for the present
high price of the metal by those con-
versant with the lead situation is that
the demand has assumed enormous
proportions. the buying at eastern
points being both for foreign and
home account. For many years prior
to 1914 there had been no export of
domestic lead ore. bullion or pig
lead. With the outbreak of the war.
however, the export of the metal
began, and it has since been steadily
increasing in volume.
For the nine months ending with
March, 1915. the exports were near
ly 112. OO0. 900 pounds. as against
none for the nine months ending
with March, 1914. Students of lead
production and of lead stocks in this
country point to this tremendous in
crease in the expectation Of lead, and
basing their conclusions on the fact
that the surplus lead stocks in this
country at the beginning of 1914
have undergone a pronounced re-
duction. are predicting that tn e
metal will be selling at 10 cents a
pound in the near future.

Christmas day tentatively has been
selected for the opening of the new

of laying the concrete sidewalks along
the approaches is expected to be fin
iShed today. but il will be the latter

This week also will witness the com

gineer of bridges it is unlikely that
this bridge will be thrown open to traf
fic until after the tracks of the Capital
Traction Company have been laid
across it. The law which assesses the
street railway company with one-third
the cost of the construction Of this
bridge gives it three months in which

before it will be placed at the conven-
fence of the public.
