ZINC PRODUCER
 MAKES FINE SHOWING
(From Thursdays Daily.l

From sources of information of ar authentic nature, it is learned that in, Copper King unit of the Hillside De velopment Co.,, situated near the Bag dad camp in Eureka district, is be ginning to attract wide attention foi the excellent determinations beine made and which is substantiated b. steady shipment of the high-grad ore content in zinc mainly. This property as development to deptl is being given maintains its orieina grade of ore that ranges to over 4 per cent and with its bi-metal feat ures is said to be one C.; the most ex ceptional mines in the country. Since the completion of the wagon road ou of Hillside to the camp, distant about thirty miles, day and night hauling Is now under headway, massive trucks being used, the single load be ing not less than five tons. Thie product is loaded on the railroad a' Hillside station and shipped east.
 It is also reported this property is but in its initial stages for produc ing what will soon be a heavy ton mage, ana WHICH Is pIdCtlSdllN dssui ed by determinations prevailing as lower levels reveal an astounding mineral situation. The fine success being made is attributed to the man agement of F. D. Gluwas, who is on the ground directing. Another essen tial matter to be associated with tho bringing in of another heavy pro- ducer for this county is the wisdom of building wagon roads into isolated regions, to stimulate not only de velopment, but as we'll as to attract legitimate capital to adjacent proper ties. In this connection the Copper King field is beginning to create . genuine interest among mining men and it is believed that inside of another year there will be at least five more mines as active shippers Without convenient transportation Eureka district today woul be as in the long ago, shut out and nearly for gotten.

GAZETTE DEFENDANT IN
 LIBEL SUIT

PHOENIX, Dec. l9-The Gazette Printing company was made the de- fendant in a $lO0,000 action for dam ages brought by Charles Hollings- worth yesterday in which the plain tiff alleges that the evening paper charged and asserted that his mother. Ellen Hollingsworth, had been mur- dered and intimating that he was her murderer.
 The article on which the action is based appeared in the December G, issue of the newspaper under the cap- ton "Hollingsworth is released on bail" The opening paragraph of the story, which is objected to by the plaintiff in particular, follows:
 On the motion of the county at torney, the preliminary hearing of C. H. Hollingsworth, charged with matricide, has been continued until December l4th, pending report on the autopsy on the body of the mur- dered woman, Mrs. Ellen Hollings- worth The post mortem examina- ton will reveal whether the aged wo- man was given an overdose of mor- phine. as charged against Hollings- worth.
 The remainder of the article re- views the proceedings in the justice court where the. preliminary examina- ton was held.
 IFollingsworth, according to the complaint filed by w. H. Dial, claims that the malicious and defamatory accusations printed in the Gazette in- jured his reputation and standing as a citizen, for which he asks actual damages in the sum of S50.000 He further charges that the alleged libel ous publication SO issued and circu- lated by the defendant through al- legged malicious motives harrassed and injured him, and asks exemplary damages in the same amount.
 Hollingsworth's arrest, resulted from complaint lodged against him with the authorities by Mrs. ]. L. Horton, a nurse. who claimed that he beat. bound and gagged his mother
 Although a number of witnesses were subpoenaed by the state, the murder charge against Hollingsworth did not develop, and without offering any defense the case against him was dismissed.
 Hoilingsworth was represented al the preliminary hearing before Jus tice DcSouza by F. C. Struckmeyer, Judge Dial oi Flagstaff being as- sociated with the local attorney. Mir Struckmcyer has no connection with the present SlOO,OOO action.

SUPREME COURT REVERSES BUD STEPHENS CASE AND
 ORDERS ANOTHER TRIAL
(Erom ThnrsfaY's Daily. }

Bud Stephens will get new trial. The supreme court yesterday decided that the youth who in July last was convicted of first-degree murder in the Yavapai court should have another trial because of technicalities which crept into the trial in the lower court, the higher court having sus- tained three of the seven assignments of error which had been embodied in the appeal filed by the defense. The first two and the last two of the as signments of error were not consider ed by the Supreme judges Tn making their ruling The reversal was based on three propositions, first, that the selection Of one of the jurors who had stated that he had a fixed opinion regarding the guilt of young Stephens was inimical to the interests of the defense, second, that the court had erred in its instructions to the jury regarding the mental condition of the defendant al the time of the killing, and third. that the instructions of the court defining the crime of second degree murder had been prejudicial to the defendant inasmuch as the in structions had tended to lead the jury 10 believe that it could return only one of two verdicts. either first-de- gree murder or acquittal
 Young Stephens, who has been in rail in Prescott since the date of his conviction, wept yesterday afternoon when informed by ]. H. Morgan, his attorney, of the high courts decision. While in all probability the youth will be admitted to bail, he cannot secure his liberty again until after a certified copy of the decree of the Supreme court Is received here. At torneys for the defense will within the next day or so file a motion with Judge Sweeney asking that the court fix bond in this case. Stephens was at liberty under a bond of S50O00 prior to the time of his trial, and F is thought likely that bond of simi- lar size will be required before he is again released from jail.
 This Is the first murder case from Yavapai county to be reversed in about Is years, according to the statement of Attorney Morgan. The disposition of the appeal was one of the quickest made recently by the high court, the average case requir- ing usually year or so to get de- cision. The case was tried here dur ing the two-weeks period beginning July Sth It was appealed immediate ly after the conclusion of the trial and was argued at Phoenix about three weeks ago.

SHOULD CUT RED METAL OUTPUT
 RIGHT NOW
COPPER EXPERTS. SEEM
 TO BELIEVE THAT BIG SURPLUS SHOULD NOT BE ACCUMULATED U INDIE R PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES
From Thursdays Daily.n

The logical time to begin a curtail- ment of the production of copper, is about now. says Skillings' Mining Review. in commenting on the red metal situation. eThe producers are extremely liable to accumulate some surplus in any event during the per iod of readjustment, but they may also pile up an unwicldly surplus Of the metal very easily. The govern- ment has signified that it will take care of existing contracts, and not all low the metal to come on the mar ket for resale, which is very en- couraging, but the producers also face a period of some uncertainty. Price fixing is a thing of the past.
 Big decline in the price of copper will be realized if the producers pile up a large surplus. It was not until 1915 that the producers Of copper came to understand that the time to curtail was when the curtailing was good. Prior to that they had thought, taken as an industry, that they could not curtail production be- cause it would advance cost of pro- duction and destroy organization. This is no doubt true, but what does overproduction do: A surplus of 300 million poundss of copper was piled up in 1907 What this did to the in dustrv doubtless never will be forgot ten by copper producers. It took fully a year to wipe out this surplus after the demand for the metal be- ~-oI n11 4ha a nrn+- its were small. Thus year Of what should have been good times was lost. a vast amount of metal was vir- tually given away and the mines im- povcrished to that extent. The own- CTS of copper shares, whose money had developed this metal, did not re- ceive a fair return. What failure to curtail production does to the copper industry when the conditions demand curtailment IS a very great plenty. Consumers right now are holding otf waiting for the price of the metal to decline. Consumers of copper have long ago demonstrated that astute- ness is allowing the producers to carry the excess supply.
 There is nothing to be gained Tn the long run for either the producer, or the consumer to undertake to ob- tain advantage over the other. The producer should be prepared to de- mand and get profitable price for his metal al all times when there Is de- mand. and the only way he can do it is to not be facing a big surplus of his product. The old notion that cop per producers cannot curtail was eX- ploded in 1915 and it is believed that the lesson learned then was one of the most valuable in the history of the industry.

Announcement was made yester-. day that the Arizona silver mine, owned by F. NJ. Anderson and Sid ney Birch and situation near Hum boldt, had loaded three cars of a galena-silver grade of ore. that had been shipped to market, and in min ing circles of that field there was considerable comment over the high grade content. Sampling gave values as high as Sl80 to the ton, and such a massive mineral content was naturally expressing keen interest," This product is the biggest in ton mage ever to leave that mine in a single shipment although this firm has been milling and shipping the concentrates recovered for some years. this from a zone of less than 250 feet in depth. If this last ship ment would average S150 per ton of the lot of approximately l20 tons, the value thereof would reach to SlS.0OO. which is a conservative estimate.

RECREATION HALL FOR
 SOLDIERS OPENS SOON
(From Fridays Daily)

Arrangements have practically been completed for opening a sol diers' club in the Richards Memorial hall, or. as it is more commonly known, the Parish house of the Episcopal church. The War Camp Community Service has made ar engagements for partial use of the building and will conduct a club and rest room for the soldiers.
 Formal opening of the club will not occur until after the first of the year, but the War Camp Community Ser vice expects to fit up the hall for temporary use by installing num- Der of chairs and tables for reading and writing. It has asked the loan of few tables by Prescott people until the club furniture can be ob- tained and installed, which should be about or shortly after the first of the year.
 This will give Prescott two sol dicrs' clubs, the other being operat- ed on North Cortez street by the Knights of Columbus. These two clubs should be able to care for the needs of a large number of soldiers on their visits to town. The Knights of Columbus club room is filling a long-felt need and this organization is to be congratulated for realizing the needs and meeting them.
 The work of the War Camp Con- munity Service, Knights of Colum- bus and the Army Y NJ. C. A. has done much to help make victorious soldiers of the American army. These organizations form a part of the War and Navy Department Com- mission on Training Camp Activities or as it is sometimes called, the Eos dick commission. Their mission has been to help keep up the morale of the fighting forces by supplying some of the normalities of life, such as providing club, church and recrea- tional facilities.
 In the club room to be opened by the War Camp Community Service will be reading and writing tables and the usual club room facilities, when the equopment arrives. Social enter tainments probably will be held later as the war progresses, dances will be given under the chaperonage of com mittees of Prescott ladies and an ef- fort will be made to help care for and entertain the soldiers of Whipple Barracks when they are in the city on leave
