NEW YORK, Nov. H. = The tension
in the coal situation has eased in the
past few days and wholesale prices have
dropped several dollars a ton, accord

Gently at $12 to $3.50 ton wholesale
may now be bought for from $3.50 to
$40, coal men said. Arthur F. Rice,
president of the coal merchants associa-
ton, attributed the lower prices to the
milder weather and to the fact that the
public had recovered from its recent
'panic, during which householders
filled their bins through fear that
prices would rise still higher.

MILLION DOLLAR COPPER TRAIN.


, GLOBE, March 28.--A shipment of
4,4648,0O pounds of copper in forty
nine cars left Globe yesterday after
noon over the Arizona Eastern rail
road, the destination being Perth Am
boy, N. j., where are located some of
the largest metal refineries of the
world
Forty carloads Of this copper were
from the international smelter at Mi
ami, and represents one weeks out
put. the product of concentrates from
the Inspiration Consolidated and
Miami Copper companies mills. Nine
cars contained the product of the Old
Dominion and United Globe ores, and
small consignment of customs ores.
This trainload Of copper is the larg-
est single shipment of the red metal
ever made from Arizona and reduced
to fine copper its value, at 27 cents
per pounds approximately $1,195,00O
Maintained at the above rate of ro-
Guction, the output of the Interna-
tional and Old Dominion smelters for
one year would be 231, 169, 500 pounds
and would far exceed the production
of copper from any other district in

Theodore A Woodruff came in
Monday from his mine, the Preston

ing development work and getting
out shipping ore for some time past.
He reports good results at the mine
as work progresses and says he will
soon have carload of ore on the
dump ready for shipment. Soon after
his arrival in town, Mr.. Woodruff
parted with his hoary beard, in prep
aration for the hot weather, having
had it trimmed down to fine point,
a Ia Prince Albert, which left him
more the appearance of a disciple of
Henry George of single-tax fame
than of cold Man" Woodruff In
fact his physiognomy was so chang
ed by Barber Mull's magic touch that
few of his friends recognized him at
first glance and even the town dogs
looked askanse at him, believing him
no doubt to be some sort of sly
trimmer" rather than one that had
just been trimmed"

Want Stricter Prohibition.

Copies Of the amendment to the
Arizona prohibitory law, which makes
it crime to have liquor in ones
possession or to drink liquor for any
purpose at all, with the single ex-
ception of the sacrament, are being
circulated through the state for sig
natures for the purpose of getting
the amendment on the ballot this
fall for initiative vote of the people.
The proposed amendment further
provides that three-fourths of the
jury shall be sufficient to render a
verdict Peter Robertson of Yuma is
the author of the amendment, and
it is said that he is also working on
an amendment to the constitution
compelling everyone in the state to
join the socialist party Another pet
amendment that Robertson proposes
to submit is the absolute prohibition
of the drinking of green tea at tea
parties, and the substitution of
black tea. Peter does not like green
tea, his friends say. Last but not
least, Robertson's~ greatest constitu-
tdonal amendment for the safe
guarding of public health and the per
petuity of long life, is said to be one
making it crime for the use of
any other color of toilet paper except
red, which color is emblematic of
Peters political party.

BOND ISSUE
Is REVIVED
OLD TIMER BRINGS TO 'FRONT.'
BIT OF ANCIENT HISTORY OF
YUMA coUNTY-MAY BE SOME
MONEY Is LEFT.

One of northern Yuma county's old
timers dropped into the editorial
sanctum one day this week and in
quired whether or not the good roads
bond election, held when he was a
small boy resulted in a victory for
partisans OF better highways. Since
boyhood he has lived on the Bill Will
liams river, and in making the trip
from that point to Parker he found
that the roads were just about as
impassable as htey were forty years
ago.
After careful search of our back
files OF many years ago, We ascertain
ed tnat the good roads bonds were
Carried by a large majority; that
the toard of supervisors soon there
after had disposed of the bonds for
real money, and had deposited the
mazuma in the Yuma banks.
Upon being informed OF the result
ct our researches the aged resident
of the Bill Williams wanted to know
Why the roads had not been con-
structed according to the terms of
tla election notice, etc, and as they
evidently had not been built, he
wanted to know where in tarnation
fle money had gone to-
In recent years no one here had
taodaht OF that, as the bond election
was So long ago that there are few
of the old pioneers left who remem-
Der anything about it.
While the aged resident of the
Bill Williams was engaged in dis
cussing the matter, who should walk
into the said e. g. but our old and
venerable friend, Assessor A. B.
Ming, who mas for twenty years or
more satisfactorily held down the
post of assessor in this county
When Ming was first elected to Of
flee he was quite young chap, but
How he is a white-haired old man,
but for his years he is still quite ac-
I've, especially in the early spring,
which is the time when he is abroad
N the land making up his tax as
sessments, 1t Is an old saying that
tn: only way to escape A. B. is to
tic.
We inquired of friend Ming what
he remembered about that certain
bond election held in Yuma county
many years ago. He recalled that
during his young days such an cleo
iion was held and carried, but didn't
itacollect what had become of the
money which was to have been spent
il improving the roads in the north
ern part of the county. He was
certain, however, that the southern
part of the county had gotten action
on it's share of the funds. as the
whole OF Yuma valley now has
most complete system of good roads.
Mr.. Ming promised to interview
some of the old-timers, still living in
Yuma, about the matter, and in the
course Of the next week We hope to
present to our host of readers more
accurate Information concerning this
bit of early history of our county.
