Prosecutor
LeadSOrpet
Into Trap

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, June %. -
Will II. Orpet, when he entered
the court room today, showed
signs of the ordeal re went
through yesterday under Ielent-
less cross-examination by Prose
cutor Joslyn.
The natural palor of nis face
had deepened, and most of the
confident manner he had when he
began his story of the death of
Marian Lambert, his school girl
sweetheart, had left him.
In an attempt to break down
Orpet's original story that Marian
had committed suicide, the young
student was led slowly but surely
into trap set for him by the
prosecutor.
Tells of Trip.
Orpet had previouhly testified
that when he turned hack III
Helms woods and saw Marian in
her dying throes in the snow, he
knelt down by ner ana called to
her.
Her right hand, he had said,
was bare and partly closed. He
opened 1t a little and noticed the
powder in the line of her hand.
In the discrimination the
prosecutor led Orpet on with en-
couraging and sympathetic words,
to tell of his trip from Madison,
where he was attending the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, to Lake For
est, into the woods with Marian
and to the death scene.
Says 1t Was Glosed.
At the close of the story the
prosecutor began firing questions
In quick succession concerning the
position and appearance of tine
girls body at the time of her
death. In the midst of these
questions his manner changed,
and he asked suddenly:
And was her hand bare or
gloved?"
Orpet, pallid and worn with
hours of close Questioning, hest.
tated.
Il don't just remember
think 1t was bare. No, l remem-
Der, 1t was gloved."
The prosecutor Immediately
changed the subject and was pro-
ceeding to ask another question
when Orpet recovered himself.

bare-I am sure now. Yes, II

Marital happiness for Margaret
Abercrombie, popular in the high
society circles of the Pacific coast,

LONDON, June 29.-Sir
Roger Easement this after
noon was convicted of high
treason and sentenced to
death in connection with the
Irish rebellion and attempts
To induce Irish prisoners in
Germany to desert.
The jury deliberated less than
an hour.
Before the case went to the
jury Baron Reading dealt Case
ment's hopes a body blow.
+. Z. Jones, counsel for the de-
Tense, had argued that Sir Roger
had been loyal, patriotic Irish
man, recruiting a regiment among
the German prisoners because u
ster threatened civil war in Ire
land.
The lord chief justice inter-
posed.
THE jury will be instructed
that any act tending to weaken
the country's power of resistance
was aiding and comforting the
kings enemies" he ruled.
The ruling plainly depressed
Easement. Reading later in
structed the jury that even if only
one of the six alleged acts was
proved, the defendant would be
guilty.
The death sentence was pro-
nounced after Easement, in a
voice that was scarcely audible,
had addressed the court briefly.
Easement later recovered his
voice and made an impassioned
speech while standing in the pris-
oner's dock.
I'm England alone in the
goth century, loyalty to ones
country is held as crime.
If il is treason to fight un-
der such circumstances, I'm
proud to be a rebel" he said,
gesturing dramatically.
He regained his aolnposure
completely, and stood erect aud
smiling when reading the pro-
nounced sentence.
Daniel Bailey's case was then
called. Baron Reading inmeii-
ately instructed the jury to ac-
quit him.

PICK OF 1858 RELIC
 OF ARIZONA PIONEER

An old pick and gold pan were found Monday near Fig Springs, on the mining group of the Arizona Oatman Contact Mining company The finder was Mitchell Carter, man. ager of the Oatman Investment com- pany.
 The pick is of an old style, the like of which is not seen nowadays. It had been bolted and riveted on the handle, both vertically and horizon tally It has a stencil mark stating that it was patented March 29 1859 The points are worn down to about seven inches each. The gold pan is about eight inches in diameter and several holes are rusted through. MT. Carter says it was quite evident that rock had been broken there many years ago.
 Various old timers called to see the ancient relics, among whom were J c. Krogh and Ely Hilty. They said that it was possible that the pick and pan were left there by soldiers as a number of soldiers carried or considerable mining in this vicinity in the cos. after the Civil war It is also a local tradition that soldiers worked the Hardy mine about thai time, it having been originally To- cated in 1860.

JAS. DOUGLAS BUILDS
 HOME AT JEROME

The foundation has been lad for on a little knob between the Do ,a,'k and Little Daisy mine at Jerome. The site has a most ideal outlook over the Verde valley and into the hills where the city of Jerome nestles.
 The house, which will be an adobe structure, will cover the entire knob of the hill. It will be a one and two- story affair with patios and roof garden. After the adobe shrinks it will be covered with plaster, which will give the building a most ar tistic appearance.
 Mir. Douglas idea in building a most comfortable home is on account of the fact that he is in Jerome part of each year and wishes to have a place where his family can be com fortably housed The Douglas home be the familys principal residence.
 There is in the building of this bet ter class of houses the beginning of a greater and more artistic Jerome from the standpoint of a home town" James Douglas has started a most marked civic improvement.
 T. B. Stewart, of Phoenix, is the contractor and is employing abou, fifty men to complete the structure as soon as possible. At the present time, plans other than the the genera floor plan are not complete, but tht home will be most. modern.

EFFORT ID SECURE
 CARNEGIE LIBRARY

There were very few people out at the library meeting called for Thurs day night at the opera house. The lack of interest manifested by Mesa peO- ple in the future existence of the li- brary was quite disappointment to those ladies who had gone to special pains to get a crowd together The co-operation of some local musicians had been secured and those present enjoyed two vocal solos by Miss Lot tie Noble, with Miss Guthrie as ac- companst. Members of the Mesa or chestra furnished a much appreciated instrumental selection.
 The business part of the meeting was opened with a talk from J. w. Lesueur. He advocated very strongly the necessity of a Carnegie library at Mesa and was optomistic in his pro- phecy that way might be found whereby one could be maintained. It was stated that before a Carnegie li- brary could be secured the town would have to pledge through it's council ten per cent yearly of any sum donated for the building, the ten per cent to ne used in upheep anu maintenance The consensus of opinion on the part of those present was that Mesa needed a s10,000 building. and this would call for sl.000 per year from the city.
 MT Lesueur was followed by Rev. Bloy, P E. Fuller. Paul Beville and Dr. J. E. Nelson.
 A motion prevailed that commit tee be appointed to assist the ladies in arranging about the library until a permanent building should be secured and that this committee seek the as- sistance of the town council by ask
 ing that the sum of s25.00 per month De appropriated to be used for the above purpose. The committee ap- 1 pointed consists of Messrs BIoy, Still we'll Lesueur, Fuller and Stewart. second committee was appointed whose business it should be to begin work on the Carnegie proposition. The personnel of this committee is Messrs | Fuller, Lesueur. Sherwood. Stewart

INSPIRATION SETS UP
 HUGE RECORD IN MAY

Treating 470,000 tons of ore and in May, Inspiration Consolidated es- tablished a record that is not only highly creditable considering the short time that all of the eighteen units of the mill have been in com mission, but is significant of still larger production in the future months, as competent authority has estimated that each unit is capable of handling 1000 tons of ore per day. With two additional units now being installed, it is expected that the ca pacity of tho mill will be raised eventually to 10000 tons per day, or about 600.000 tons per month. At this rate, if there were no change in the grade of ore treated, Inspiration would be capable of producing more than 13,000,000 pounds of copper per month.
 As a result of the splendid show ing made by Inspiration, and the recent declaration of. s1.50 regular, and s1.50 extra dividend, the stock has been very active on the New York market. and yesterday sold above $50, an advance of five points in as many days. The attainment of maximum production by Inspiration coincident with copper selling at the highest prices in years. naturally is resulting in earnings far larger than had been hoped for when the prop erty was in the making On the basis of copper at present prices h. spiration should be earning over $20 per share

DEFINING SHELTER AND ITS COMMERCIAL USES

The common term for commercial zinc is primary spelter, the product de- rived directly from the ore and not from such sources as dresses, skimmings and old metal There are four grades of spelter, the names of which, with the permissible proportions of impurities, are given below:
 Proportion of .. Lead Iron Cop. Imp.
 Pct. Pct. Pct. Pet. A. or high grade .0O7 0.03 0.O5 0,1S B or intermediate ......20 .03 .O5 50 or brass special =. .75 .04 .75 1.20 D or prime western. .1.50 .0S - -
 The grade produced in largest amount is prime western, considerable part of which is used for galvanizing iron and steel wire and iron plate. The main market or passing point for spell ter is St. Louis, Mo-, but the largest consumption of spelter is at places be- tween St. Louis and New York, and is sold in New York on St. Louis basis with the addition of the freight rate on spelter from St. Louis to New York which is usually 15 cents per 100 pounds.
 The price of prime western spelter al St. Louis at the beginning of 1914 was 5.125 cents per pound, and it rose grad ually to 5.325 cents early in February after which long decline brought the price down to AIS cents per pound After the war broke out the price ot | spelter rose rapidly, and by the end ot August it was 6 cents, the highest point of the year. Then, because of the large stock of spelter on hand and because the war orders did not materialize as quickly as expected, it dropped as rap i idly and by the middle of October was | 4.6 cents, the lowest price of the year Though the total spelter produced 1T the United States in 1915 increased 4( per cent over the year previous, tho value of the output, due to the rapit and constant rising price, increased nearly 300 per cent. At present there is still a steady and strong demand fol zinc, and because of the scarcity O prompt metal, the prices for speltel are rising every day, and on Februarl 10th it was 1850 in St. Louis and 197 in New York.
 The above and other information es sential to the success of the prospecto may be had by writing Charles F. Will lis, Director Arizona State Bureau o Mines, Tucson, Arizona, for Bulletin No. 20.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW

NEW YORK, June 16.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Trade currents, following the reaching cf maximum expansion, seem to indicate a further gradual contraction, at least as regards new buying. But the situation, except in comparatively few lines-lumber, for instance, is strongly buttressed by filled-up order books. which insure activity in industrial quarters for some time to come. Lower ocean freight rates, enlarged dividends, evi- dences of renewed heavy buying of steel for foreign account and the per- fecting of a s50,000,00 loan to Rus sia are also significant features. Not wthstanding that the time for sea sonal quiet has arrived, activity Tn essentials is marked, though unat-
