COIiUMIWS, Ohio, October 11. Mrs.
Cassio Chadwick, whose amaziug finan

tho women's ward in tho Ohio peniten
tiary at 10:05 last night. Mrs. Chad

had been summoned from Cleveland,
but ho was not expected to arrivo until

Mrs. Cassio L. Chadwick, whose
maiden name was Elizabeth Bigley, was

DIGGING A CRATER
FOR LOST ASTEROID
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 11. Por
several years the Standard Iron
company, a corporation understood
to bo headed by Senntor Penroso
of Pennsylvania, has been digging
in tho famous Motcor crater, near
tho Santa Fo R. B. cast of Flag
staff, in tho hope of striking an
asteroid which, ages ago, hit tho
earth with such forco as to leave
an open circular valley a half mile
in diamotcr and hundreds of feet
in depth. All around on the plain
have boon picked up tons of motor
oric iron. It is far more valuable
than ordinary iron becauso of tho
presenco of nickel and other val
uable metals, making a combina
tion strikingly like that of tho
best qrado of battleship armor

It is understood that tho dig
gers ha ire been successful, but tho
iron ha) not been found in a mass,
but in a fine powder that has been
penetrated to tho depth of oighty
feet by drills. Samples havo been
submitted to government chomists
and havo been pronounced true

CURTAILMENT OF PRODUCTION THE ONLY
RELIEF FOR COPPER MARKET
Dr. James Douglas Estimates the Present Surplus at From 200,000,000 to 250,000,-
000 Pounds, Which He Thinks Will Disappear By Midwinter A Readjustment
of Wages is to Be Expected, Butte Taking the Initiative A Wage
Reduction Should Be the Last Remedy, Says the Doctor
I"MH'4

"Thoro is a surplus of copper in this country at the present time, variously estimated at from 200,000,000
to 250,000,000 pounds.
"Tho only effective remedy for this congested condlti6n is the curtailment of production, a step that has
already boon taken by the companies at Butte, Mont., and Bisbee, Ariz., and by a few producers elsewhere.
' 'Already tho accumulation of copper has been checked and consumption is now probably slightly in excess
of production.
"How long a timo will bo required to use up the surplus stocks of copper in this country accumulated
since last spring is problematical, but I should say, taking into consideration tho good crops raised and the
sound 'business conditions prevailing in the United Statin, that the accumulation of copper abovo tho stocks
ordinarily carried should disappear by midwinter and recovery in prices of tho metal follow early in 1008.
"A readjustment of wages is to be expected in the' copper camps and in all probability the intiative will
bo taken by tho companies at Butte, in conformity with the agreement made by tho Amalgamated Copper
company and its omployocs whon tho present wage scale was established. However, in my opinion, reduction
of wages is tho last romedy that
of operations."

The abovo paragraphs contnin the gist
of Dr. Jnmcs Douglas' stntomonts made
to a representative of tho Silver Bolt
yesterday afternoon at the goncral of
fice of the Old Dominion Copper Min
ing & Smelting company. Dr. Douglas
talked freely, touching on many phases
of tho copper business, a subject on
which uo ono is more competent than
ho to express an opinion.
Tho remarkable increase in tho de
mand for copper last fall and winter
aroused a fear among consumers of an
impending famine of tho red metal and
caused a rush to buy that forced the
prico above 25 cents per pound. Tt was
not long, however, until manufacturers,
began to realize that they had bought ,
beyond tho requirements of the trade. '
Tho oxecssivo prico was in itself nni
effective cheek upon consumption. Early f
in the spring ordors for wire and fin
ished products fell off materially and
manufacturers discovered that they
wero badly overstocked with raw cop
per. European consumers wore in the
snmo predica'nent and the almost en
tire absence if buying orders caused a
rapid accumulation of copper in pro
ducers' hands. Early concessions fail
ing to attract buyers, the decline in
prices became piccipitate and has con
tinued until copper is now selling nearly
eleven cents belor tho high price touch
ed early in tho year.
Br. Douglas declared that tho New
York Metal cj change quotations do not
represent tho tvctunl or ruling prices of
copper. They are rnndo on very smnll
transactions, ofi'timcs forced by tho ex
tremity of tho teller. Tho lowest price

Chicago Parties Offered $2,
500,000 for Interest in the
Properties and Offer Was
Refused Before Discovery,
By Associated Press.
HELENA, Mont., October 11. Tho
Record today publishes a story to the
effect that numerous Montana and
Washington investors have been mulct
ed to tho extent of more than ono mil
lion dollars through tho discovery of
placer mines near Landers, Wyo., which
had been salted. The property in ques
tion is worthless.
Thomas L. Grccnough of Missoula nnd
J. F. Grccnough of Spokane, the prime
movers of tho organization, notified in
vestors that they would redeem all stock
at tho prico paid, assuming tho loss.
Tho discovery that tho property had
been salted was due to an independent
examination conducted by Speaker
King of the Montana legislature and
J. R. Noill of Spokane, heavy prospect
ive investors, who conducted independ
ent inspections nnd found after remov
ing a few inches of the shaft walls that
the ground was valueless, ns was also
tho tailings, although all previous ex
aminations had shown values ranging
from 20 cents to $9 per yard. A Chi
cago firm was so impressed with tho
future of tho property that it offered
tho Grccnougs $2,500,000 for their in
terests, but the offer was rojectcd. Wt
ter not boing available, work had been
started from either end of a tunnel
through tho mountain, so that tho flow
of tho Pophoagio river might bo util
ized. The discovery created the great

only 10 per cent of the current quota
tion is advanced until the copper is dis
posed of. Thee bcttlemcut is made at
tho actual selling price, less charges of

What policy the Old Dominion com
pany would adopt ho was not prepared
to say; that was a matter for President
Smith and the other directors to de
cide. However, as the representative
of tho Phelps Dodgo interest in tho
company, Dr. Douglas' will have great
influence with tho Boston management
at this time, as it has in the past.
Referring to the cost of producing
copper, Dr. Douglas said it had risen
fully 33 per cent jn tho past two years,
due to the increased cost of labor,
machinery, lumber, oil, coke and other
supplies, as well as to leaner ores and
greater depths at which they aro mined.
Sovcral years ago Dr. Douglas carefully
computed the cost of producing the
metal by nil companies of importance
and found the average to be about 9
cents per pound. A revision of the
figures has convinced him that the av
erage cost of producing copper in the
United States at tho precsnt time is
fully 12 cents per pound.
Dr. Douglas, who is on a tour of in
spection of the Phelps Dodge proper
ties in Arizona, arrived in the city
from Bisbcc early yesterday morning
and will probably remain hero until
Sunday.

Minnesota Man Writes to Con

Retain His Pet
CROOKSTON, Minn., October 11. A
farmer living in the wolds of Bcltrand
county writes Congressman Steenerson
to exercise his influence with the state
game and fish commission so that he
may be permitted to keep a young deer,
to which he has acquired a strong at
tachment. A year ago tho farmer found
tho deer mgled up in-t.be brush near
his farm and rescued it from its woody
trap. Taking it to his home, he fed it
with milk from a nursing bottle. After
the deer had been under tho care of its
benefactor for several weeks it became
much attached to the farmer and his
family and has shown no desire to re
turn to its native state.
Tho farmer has been showing more
or less anxiety lest one of his brothers
from the city, skilled in the use of fire
arms, should sec the deer ranning,about
his farm nnd should take the life of the
animal. Ho also fears that some day a
state game officer may visit his farm
and take the deer to some state park.
Mr. Steenerson has written tho farmer
in reply that he will communicate im

With an aggregate of 8,563 pounds of
mail matter sent out from the Globo
postofiice during the month of Septem
ber, there is little doubt but what this
city excels all others in the torritory,
save Phoenix nnd Tucson, in the volume
of its postal business. Douglas is the
only city to far that has made an item
ized expose of tho business of its postof
fice for the month of September, which
shows that the total weight of the mail
handled at that office was 8,469 pounds,
sixty-nine pounds less than was han
dled by the Globe office. Phoenix, a
firstlclass office, without making an
itemized showing, claims that during
the past three months an average of
about 20,000 pounds of mail matter have
been handled per month. Phoenix, how
ever, has four daily papers and a num
ber of weekly and monthly publications,
which would add' materially 'to the
weight of the mail handled by that
office. There is no doubt but what on a
per 1,000 population basis Globe ex
cels all other cities an the territory in
the matter of first-class mail matter.
