COPPER FUTURE
LOOKS BRIGHT
TO OFFICIALS

Some hint of the outlook of the
future copper market as it appears to
the men who have a large share in
directing the affairs of the copper in
duStry is reflected in statements re-
Gently made by Cornelius F. Kelley,
president of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, as well as R. l..
Agassiz, president of the Calumet &
Hecla Copper company. These COM
panies are foremost in the industry
and with it's recent acquisitions in
Poland and near Posen, Germany, the
Anaconda is one of the foremost in
dustrial corporations of the present
time
This is the statement made by Pres
ident Kelley:
Looking forward, the industry en-
terS 1923 upon a sound basis, and with
every expectation Of prosperous year.
Stocks have been reduced; production
and consumption are in approximate
balance; domestic business is good and
shows signs Of substantial increase,
and export demand is greater than at
any period since the war. While there
remains potential production in
the industry as a consequence OF Cne
necessity of bringing to productive
capacity large units requiring many
years to habilitate, in advance OF
actu a productive requirements, the
constantly increasing demand will de-
crease surplus, capacity and should
sustain the industry upon a sound and
prosperous footing"
President AgaSSiz said:
I'VE have every right to look for
ward hopefully to 1928 There are no
signs of diminution in demand
either here or abroad. Industrial lead
ers are inclined to be optimistic con-
cerring the new year so far as general
business is concerned, and as more
end more of our consuming industries
are turning toward copper and copper
products in their manufacture, the
outlook seems to me to be excellent.

SCHOLARSHIPS
AWARDED TO 52
EAGLE SCOUTS

Fifty7two Boy Scouts, each with
outstanding achievements to his credit
have been selected by the executive
board of the Boy Scouts of America
as recipients of the Harmon founda-
ton scout scholarship award. Each
has won the eagle badge, the highest
rank in scouting.
The foundation was established by
w. E. Harmon last year. The donor
desired to give recognition to out
standing boys Of promise. The Boy
Scout movement has done much to
develop the latent possibilities of boys
through the excellence of its program
for youth, Mr.. Harmon felt and hence
his gift by which Boy Scouts may re-
ceive help in higher education. Fifty
two boys are eligible each year for the
award, which he has given. In addi-
ton all of the boys are eligible to
obtain loans toward their college eX-
penses from the Harmon scout loan
fund, especially established for Boy
Scouts, and also may obtain loans

Requirements
Four of the SO awards were made
at large, the remainder were selected
four to each of the II scout regions
in the United States. Eligibility of
the boys was based upon the follow
ing:
First, that he has actually put into
practice in, his daily life the ideals
and principles of the scout oath and
law, the motto "Be Prepared" and
the DAILY Good Turn"
Second, that he. has maintained an
active service relationship to scouting
of at least one year.
Third that he has made an effort
to develop and demonstrate leadership
ability,
Fourth, that he. has given conspicu-
GUS and unselfish service of some cor-
structive nature, denoting character,
perseverance or self sacrifice, the OBJ
iective being to determine in eaCh
region, each year, the four eagle SCOUTS
who are deserving of this award.

In the spring of 1883 all the Apaches
remaining on the reservation went out
on the warpath. Geronimo with part
of his band was in Sonora. General
Crook was there but was unable tc
round him up. Geronimo sent several
bucks over the line. They got to the
San Carlos reservation and induced
the rest of the tribe to hit the trail
They split up in three groups and
started for the Mexican border, killing
people as they advanced towards the
line.
About that time in 1888, Judge Nc
ComaS started to drive from Silver
City, N. M, en- route to Leitendorf a
small mining camp near Lordsburg.
The route offered much scenic charm,
lying through the Burro mountains.
He was accompanied by his wife and
six-year- sSon, Charley. For them
the trip was intended as a pleasant
outing. The night of March 27 was
passed at a resort called Mountain
Home, an attractive spot about !nalf
way between Silver City and Lords
burg.
Apaches Murder Judge
Leaving the Mountain Home on the
morning of March %, the Judge had
driven about 10 miles to the point
where Thompson'S canyon runs into
the plain in which lies Lordsburg,
some IA miles distant. Here he was
overtaken by one of the bands of
Chiricahua Apaches, variously stated
to number from 10 to 20 warriors,
under the leadership of one Chatto,
sub-chief under Mana, Juh and
Geronimo. That this unhappy en-
counter was purely by chance may be
inferred from the fact that, had the
Indians been waylaying the road in
wait for victims, the canyon three or
four miles back into the mountains is
very precipitous, affording ideal places
for anbuScade. This particular band
evidently was travelling towards a pre-
viously agreed upon rendezvous in the
Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico,
where early in May they were cap
tured by troops under command of
Gen. George Crook, called the "Grey
Wolf" by the Indians The judge and
his wife were murdered on the spot
and the little boy, Charley, carried
into captivity. Their bodies were dis
covered by Joe Baker, who drove the
stage from Lordsburg to Silver City.
He made all haste to the nearest COW
ranch, from which couriers were sent
out to spread the alarm throughout
the valley.
Picture of Tragedy
Posses for pursuit, and the recovery
of the bodies were arranged as soon
as the news of the killing reached
Lordsburg. Capt William Black OF
the New Mexico rangers detailed B. B..

this connection, Mr. Chairman, I call
the attention of this committee to
page 209 of senate document 90, 68th
congress, first session, which is the
report of the fact finding commission
which investigated the various recla-
nation projects in this country. There
is stated in effect OH that page that
the actual cost of all reclamation
projects in this country constructed
on estimates of the bureau of recla-
nation have exceeded the bureaus
estimated cost by approximately 60 per
cent. The bureau of reclamation esti-
mated 27 projects to cost $93 ABE, ,641.
The actual cost was $141, ,787, COSTA. In
the fact of that record it cannot be
logically contended tina t $125000000
will be the maximum cost Of the
project.
Sat my request the federal power
commission, which as a governmental
body, has had more practical expert
ence in the, general field of hydro
electric power than any other govern
mental agency, drew up a schedule of
the cost of delivering Boulder canyon
power to the market in southern Cali
fornia I requested that the federal
power commission predict their Sched
ules upon the following assumptions:
First: That the minimum estimate
of $125,0O0,0O0 was accurate and that
the project would not cost in excess
of that amount.
Second: That from the minute

In the good old days Of. say, 10 years
ago 1t was customary at about this time
Of year or earlier to Jack up the auto
mobile. remove the battery. and. per-
chance, remove the water from the ra-
diator. The car was retired for the
Winter; its utility was cut in half.
Nowadays it is a rather remotely To-
Gated motoriSt who is required to per-
form this sad ritual. The general i'm
provement in rural highways has made
it possible and highly desirable that
time-wasting and travel-prohibiting
snow be removed from the roadway.
Southern States. according to E. E.

communities the isolation imposed by
mud roads Is as complete as though
produced by several feet of snow Here
again the solution lies in the construc-
ton OF year-round pavements.
Once Impractical.
In the earlier days of the automobile

snow pillow could cover only few miles

Renewal Problem.
Snow removal is a problem affect
