WHERE IS THE
 INTEREST FUND /. IF BONDS TO GO?
From Fridays Daily)

A nice distinction at law has arisen in the apportionment of funds de- rived from the deposited moneys re- sulting from the sale of the million and a half dollar bond issue, and at this time, both the county and the highway department are in the posi- ton of claimants to this sum.
 Highway commissioners, especially Engineer Joe Mccarthy, want the money-about $40,000 at this time for the purpose of constructing four small bridges in four widely scattered parts of the county. One of these bridges would be on the road just below Mercy hospital; one would span Deception gulch near Clarkdale, a third would be located at Ash Fork and the fourth, of course, at Mayer.
 An opinion handed to the board of supervisors by County Attorney Sul- livan holds that the county treasurer must appOrtion the interest to the county general fund. Proponents of the highway commissions view hold that under a recent law, not only the money derived from the sale of the bond issue, but all money accruing by reason of the deposit of these funds in approved banks at 2 per cent interest, should also go to the highway fund.
 It seems that the commission has been counting on using this money and its plans have been shaped with the four bridges thus provided for.
 It has not been indicated what steps will be taken to decide the issue.

10000 PUT ID WORK AT BUTTE
 IN THIRTY DAYS
Montana Copper Center Popula- ton Rises Toward 100000 as Anaconda Production Is Per manently Assured.
Trom Fridays DaiIy)

Optimism of the same sort to be noticed in Yavapai over announce ment of resumption of mining and smelling in Jerome and Humboldt, prevails at Butte, the home of the Anaconda copper mine, 1t was re- ported here yesterday by Attorney Robert E. Morrison upon lis return from the Montana city The purchase of the American Brass company by the interests controlling the Ana conda practically assures perpetual consumption of the complete output of the mine; and announcements of resumption have been followed by the employment of 10000 men in the last 30 days.
 The people of Butte are very opti- mistic as to the future, from a busi- ness point Of view," Mir. Morrison yesterday told representative of the Journal-Miner, because of the re- sumption of work at the Anaconda and other mines close to Butte. Oyer 10000 men have been employed at the mines there within the past 50 days.
 The, purchase of the American Brass by the amalgamated company oi which the Anaconda is a subsid iary, means the opening of a new era of prosperity for Butte and the surrounding country. The American Brass company uses annually more copper than the Anaconda mine pro- duces, which means that if all the copper is used by the American Brass company, the Ana conda can continue to work to the end of its production capacity There is a consequent picking up of popu- lation, which is rapidly increasing to Butte's normal figure of 100000"
