TWO AMERICANS
 ADJUDGED INSANE

Two men had a hearing in the Su- perir Court on Thursday afternoon as to their sanity, Dr. L. A. w. Burtch, county health officer, conducting the
 examination. The men were J. T.
 Bryan and Jack Falls, both claiming
 Georgia as their native state.
 Bryan was picked up a short dis
 tance from Fl Paso by J. A. Albrecht
 who was returning to Clifton by auto.
 His condition was not noticed on the
 drive to Clifton, although at the time
 he acted in a peculiar manner, and soon after arriving here the symp-
 toms of insanity became more pro- nounced and he was lodged in the county jail where his actions since have been at times violent. A num-
 Der of razor blades were taken from his in his cell, but not until he had slashed the arm of another inmate His Authorizations are varied, one of his pet diversions being confidential talks with Pancho Villa, who comes to the cell often to talk to him. Bryan is a young man of apparent excellent education and he claims that he was doped and robbed of all his money in Fl Paso.
 Falls, the second man to be eX- amined, was brought to the jail on Wednesday from the prison road camp below Clifton, he having been
 an inmate of the penitentiary for sev- eral years. His actions at times
 have been peculiar and finally became so pronounced that he was brought to the county jail. He is a man of about IS years of age and although not at any time violent, his imaginings are concentrated on the fact that plans for an aerOplane which he had invented have been stolen and i that his relatives are reaping thous- ands of dollars from his inventive l genius It developed at the examina- 1 tion that several months ago he had i been hit on the head with a blunt in- i strum ent, which may to a certain ex- i tent account for his mental aber- 1 ration. The men were taken to i Phoenix this morning by Sheriff A 1 H. Slaughter and P Anderson, and i It is thought that i'll short time their
 condition will be much improved and
 their chances of complete recovery are good.

EAGLE GOLD AND COPPER COMPANY
 MAKING GOOD

w. M Mccoy, president of the Eagle Gold & Copper Company, whose property is situated near Morenci and which was formerly the Gold Belt property, was in Clifton on Sat urday en route to the east where he has gone on a business and pleasure trip. MT. Mccoy states that H. A. Collins is now general manager of the comp pany, having taken charge of af- fairs on the 18th of May. MT. Col lins is one of the most successful en- gineers of the southwest and was for several years superintendent of the Shannon mines at Metcalf, and the Eagle Gold & Copper Co.,, consider that they are most fortunate. in se- curing the services of so well known mining engineer to manage the af- fairs of the company.
 According to MT. Mccoy work on the property is progressing most satisfac- torily and they are now shipping two cars of ore weekly to the Shannon shelter at Clifton and this output ia soon to be increased to three or four cars. The property is high grade proposition as assays show the ore to run from 15 to 20 per cent copper. Extensive development work is being
 
 good ore in sight.
 The ore is now being packed into Morenci by burros but it is hoped by i the management of the property that 1 in the course of short time wagon road will be built to connect with the Morenci loop above the D. c. hospital, when the ore will be brought in either | by wagons or motor trucks. The property of the company lies only a short distance over the divide from Morenci and a good road could be built at practically small cost. Up- on completion of the road the output of the mines would be greatly increas- ed and several car loads of ore would be sent weekly to the smelter for treatment.
 Since the days when the property was worked under the name of the Gold Belt it has laid idle and no ac- tive work has been done for several years, but now that it is under new management it is the intention of the present company to push work eXtensi vely and put it in the class of the big IprodueeIs of the district. The proper ty in the past has been proven and both gold copper ore of excellent value have been uncovered.
 i IT is also understood that the stock of the company will in short time be listed on the New York and Bos- ton curbs.

STOCK MARKET
.~~~~~~~~

New York, Dec. 27-Opening-The widespread approval of the govern ment's proposed action in taking over the railroads and allied properties of the country found reflection in a buoy ant advance of prices at the active opening of today's stock market The shorts were almost panicstricken in the rush to cover contracts, some of which were made as recently as yes- terday.
 Included among the more substan- tial advances of the first half hour were Baltimore & Ohio, which rose IT points; Delaware & Hulson, IA; St. Paul, 12 1-2; Atchison, 10; Atlantic g; Norfolk & Western, 8 1-2; Union and Southern Pacific, each; New York Central, 1-2; Louisville & Nashville, 6 1-2; Lackawanna and Chesapeake & Ohio, each; Canadian Pacific and Soo, each, and others 2 to points.
 Industrials, coppers, shippings and an unusual array of specialties rose two to four points, the movement be- ing the broadest and most extensive since the middle of the year.
 There was considerable. profit talk ing on the early rise, with consequent recession of two to five points. St. Paul preferred, which rose almost IS points in the early dealings, reacted 10 points. \
 Noon.-Short covering continued but further selling for profits was a part offset. Early reactions of to 10 points were followed by fresh absorp- tions which lifted some stocks, nota- bly, Great Northern. Canadian Pacific and Rock Island. coalers and Texas Co. above early high prices. Indus trials also strengthened, especially the war group. Trading diminished in the second hour. the market going through the process of assimilation, but at noon activity was renewed at or near highest levels. Bonds of mi nor railroads profited two to four points by the rise in stocks. Liberty 4s sold at 97 to 96.s6 and the 1-2s at 9S.48 to 9S46.

 ''The Government of the United States is the only great government now engaged in the war which has not already assumed control of this sort. It was thought to be in the spirit of American institutions to at- tempt to do everything that was necessary through private manage ment, and if zeal and ability and pat riotic motive could have accomplished the necessary unifcation of admins tration, it would certainly have been accomplished. but no zeal or ability could overcome insuperable obstacles. and I have deemed it my duty to recognize that fact in all candor now that it is demonstrated and to use without reserve the great authority reposed in me. A great national ne- cessity dictated the action, and I was therefore not at liberty to abstain from it.

 Immediately upon the reassem- bling of Congress shall recommend that these definite guarantees be giv- en. First, of course, that the railway properties will be maintained during the period of Federal control in as good. repair and as complete equip ment as when taken over by the gov ernment, and, second, that the roads shall receive net operating income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, 1917; and I am entirely con- ffdent that the Congress will be dis posed in this case, as in others, to see that justice is done and full se- curity assured to the owners and creditors of the great systems which the government must now use under it's own direction or else suffer serious embarrassment.
