FABULOUS PRICE E BENG PAID
 FOR WOOL
BUYERS OFFER 56 CENTS
 A POUND; ONE SHIP MENT SOLD. ON CARS
 WITHOUT WEIGHT OR QUALITY INVESTIGATED
(From Thursdays Daily)

Range supremacy is now centered to the sheep growing industry, and this distinction is generally admitted in livestock circles from the remark able leap in wool prices during the short period Of less than one year The price year ago was below 5 cents and has advanced to the present market quotation of 56 cents pound.
 This high price has proved astound- ing to the grower, and to substantiatc what is actually prevailing in pur, chasing ccntcrs, c. H. Daggs, a visi- tor yesterday from Williams, stated lac had refused the above sum for his wool, and would hold for a higher price Mir. Daggs also stated that he had sold a bunch of l50 bucks, for which he had been paid S25 per head. or in the aggregate S3750. we are playing the game, and the cards arc coming our way; when the break takes place is not material, it cannot be very soon: the tide IS carrying our industry on a high wave that is far beyond our expectations" was his manner of expressing the situation that has developed since the Euro pean war broke out.
 In line with the market conditions at present, and of much interest To- cally, was the transaction made yes terday by A. X. Johns of the Aubrey Investment Co.,, one of the big sheep outfits of the State, who described sale which was startling from a bus mess standpoint. His firm had en route to a Boston commission house a large shipment of wool, and while on the cars negotiations for the pur- chase were closed on a basis of over 5O cents a pound. After wiring his acceptance, and without the buyer being aware of the quality of the article, certified check for S1S,750 was mailed to Mir. Johns, and by him exhibited yesterday. The wool prob ably has reached Boston by this time. and the buyer is in possession. Said Anr Johns: This market game is a revelation, and brings back recollec- tions of the time when the venture some bucked the game of chance by putting his money on card. We shecpmen are doing the dealing and the game is very popular from the of high-class players. The price received for wool Is not only startling. but from present indications is to go higher, if conditions can be accurately judged from supply sources that have been drained recently. Who ever believed that wool would reach such a fabulous price: It is reason able to expect mining boom from a strike made or an ore content running into the millions in value. But this sheep stunt dwarfs any expectations even the widest of dreamers ever

 Cora Brink Dickson got her liberty, her three children. alimony amount ing to S25 a month and her costs and attorneys fees, and Duff Dickson got his freedom and a severe lecture on improvidence from Judge Frank IT, Lyman. all in the course of settling the divorce suit of these Kirkland people yesterday.
 There was a great deal of discus sion of the affairs of this family. The plaintiff contended that Mr. Dickson worked but semi-occasionally and then won but scant wage. He con tended that everything he made, he turned over to his wife, and that she did all the spending in that family Asked how much he made and gave her, he was compelled to state that 1t wasn't very much. The question of food and clothing for the wife and three children was very thoroughly threshed out by the attorneys and Judge Lyman himself took a hand in the questioning.
 Mrs. Clark Brink, sister-in-law Of the plaintiff, asked if Dickson provid- cd enough clothes for his family. stated naively that they didn't wear much clothing in Kirkland, an asser- ton that will no doubt cause Kirk land to be regarded as sort of min iature and modern Garden of Eden

 Onward, Christian soldiers! Duty's

 tear and smite! Let the gentle Jesus, bless your

 the sod; Folks who do not speak your tongue,
 deserve the curse of God. Smash the doors of every home,
 pretty maidens seize: Use your might and sacred right to
 treat them as you please. Onward Christian soldiers! Eat and
 drink your fill; Rob with bloody fingers, Christ O.

 grain and meat; Even though the children starve, the
 Saviour's buns must eat. Burn the peasants cottages, orphans
 leave bereft; Tn Jehovah's holy name, wreak ruin
 right and left Onward Christian soldiers! Drench
 the land with gore: Mercy is 9 weakness all the gods
 abhor. Bayonct the babies, jab the mothers,

 Hoist the cross of Calvary to hallow

 go plumb to hell. Onward Christian soldiers! Blighting

 RUBY ORE AT 300 FEET

The tunnel on the 400-foot adit now being driven by the Silver Lane Min ing Company whose property is locat- ed eight miles south of Crown King, is in 300 feet and has encountered ruby silver in the breast. This tun- mel is being driven on the vein to get under the shoot which was stopped from the 200 adit in the early sos.
 The vein is four feet wide, a Assure in granite, and is one of the famous early-day producers of Yavapai coun- ty The tunnel will be run to the 700 foot point. The main ore shoot should be encountered at 650 feet.
 The presence of high grade silver at this stage of development leads the management to believe that they are close to a shoot of ore. The Lane ore averages better than 200 ounces silver. The company is fully financed, principally by Bisbee and Douglas capital, although few in this section arc fortunate to be stockholders. No stock is offered for

BIG LEDGE MAY TAKE OVER
 SNELTER
SPECIAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING AUGUST 3 TO
 ACT ON PROPOSAL TO
 TAKE GREAT WESTERN SHELTER CORPORATION
(Fron1 Wednesday's Daily.O

A special meeting of the stock holders of the Big Ledge Copper Company has been called to be held at the company's offices, Sellwood building. Duluth, August 3, for the purpose of acting upon a proposal to take over the Great Western Smel- ters Corporation. This will involve increasing the capitalization from the present amount of 1.5O0GCO shares, of a par value of $ each, to 3,0OOG0O shares.
 It is reported that with the pro posed changes becoming effective strong financial interests will take part in the affairs of the company Unifcation of the Big Ledge interests will be brought about by the pro- posed consolidation, which should operate to the distinct advantage of. all interests directly affected. The following letter to stockholders was sent out with the proxies:
 Realizing the fact that a large proportion of our stockholders live at a great distance from this city, we wish to make a brief statement of the reason for calling this meeting It has been the opinion Of many that the connection between the Big Ledge Company and the Great Western Shelters Corporation should be di- rect. and moi merely contractual, as at present. This has been our belief from inc start, but it did not seem a wise step in the inception of the Big , edge enterprise. We have always intended that, at some opportune tiIre and when it could be done with cut affecting the financial arrange ncnts of the Big Ledge Copper Com i,any to give your company the op- portunity to take over the Great Western properties We have con cludcd that the time is here for this action.
 The reason for tic proposal to in crease the capitalization Of your com pany is for the purpose Of taking over the smelter corporation at a low valuation. and for further enlarge mcnt of the shelter, so that the de- velopment of both will be carried 1 along co-ordinately and more eco nomically than possible when they arc separate organizations. A full discussion of the said proposed pur- chase will be had at the forthcoming ] meeting, SO that all stockholders will be informed as to the values and pos sible benefits of the transaction. It is contemplated that some suitable ar rangcmcnt be made to include a | treasury reserve for our protection and for the future requirements of properties such as are now under consideration.
 The aim of the management has i always been to further the intrinsic value of your stock both by the de- velopment and acquisition of addi- tional properties.
 Owing to labor troubles through cut the entire country we are in the same position as nearly every other operating copper company, having been confronted with a labor strike 1 and demands which cannot be grant ed Our properties at the present time are closed and we feel this is an opportunc time to make this ad- justment.
 At no time have your properties looked SO well, nor have they shown so great ore reserves as at tine mo- mcnt they were closed by these labor demands"
