Chance for q Game.

For fear that the Anaconda baseball
nine would get out OF practice or die from
ennui, the gentlemen composing the Walker
vile club nave issued a challenge fora game
to be played Sunday, July 26th. Both
mines contain some good material, and as
there is a generous and manly rivalry be-
tween them, there is no reason why the
game should not be an interesting one.
Notice of where the contest will take place
will be given.

SeriOuS Accident.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Charles McAfee,
who lives near the depot and whose hus-

There will be no change in the time OF

that of the Garrison accommodation. Just
what that change will be, however, we are

Hard Luck.

Several weeks ago a man named McNally
was shot in the leg by a man named Nc
Cam, but since then he had sufficiently re-
covered to be about, but Tuesday while
walking in the street he fell and broke the
leg almost in the same spot in which the
bullet had entered. The limb was dressed
by DR.. Holmes and DR.. Dudley, and the
misfortunate mar is doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances.

THE COPPER MARKET.
Latest Review of the Situation From
New York Sources.

The last issue OF the New York Mining
and Engineering Journal has the following
in regard to the copper market:
Copper has been weak and declining dur
ing the week, and prices may be quoted as
follows: Lake, lie. bid to 11:15c. asked,
while Calumet and Hecla brand is in better
demand at l1Kc. The company is not al
lowed, under its contract, to export to
others than it's contractors, and offers are
now in this market at $50 a ton net de-
livered in Europe for any lots OF Calumet
and Hecla that can be picked up. Parrot
Electrolytic is quoted at lie; Oxford, 1913
@1OKc.: and Baltimore 3 brand from Old
Dominion ores), 1OAc.; B. c. w. (from
Montana, etc, ores), 1OA@1Ohc.
The Old Dominion mines are not working,
but a few hundred tons of their cope have
still to coma onward The Arizona Copper
Company, which makes from SOC to 0
tons a month OF pig-copper (96 per cent?,
is the only large Western producer selling
in this market. Furnace material is very
scarce.
Calumet & Hecla is still increasing it's
monthly output, as will be seen by reference
to our Mining Nows, where the production
OF the Lake companies is given in tons Of
mineral, Calumet 4 Hecla mineral being
about 80 per cent. "copper", while the aver
age of the Lake mineral is about Is per
cent.
The new Tomarack strike alluded to last
week and elsewhere in this issue is the "cen-
ter OF attraction" yet but it's influence on
the market or in filling the pockets of it's
stockholders will not be apparent for prob
ably nearly two years. Ii second shaft, a
mile deep, has to be sunk before any large
output is attained, this time may be eX-
ceeded; but within Il year, the mine may be-
gin shipments from the present (new) shaft
on a moderates scale.
The stocks OF copper both at the mines
and in the market are very light, and the
statistical position continues to be favor
able for manipulation. Possibly the sue
cess of the corner in lead and tin may sug-
gest a similar operation in copper; but at
the present writing there is no indication of
this. though there is a pretty general ex-
p%ectation OF considerably higher prices be-
fore the close OF the year.
The cholera in Spain, which has just
jumped up the price OF lead, may very pos
sibly reach the Rio Tint and other copper
producing c%enters, and by stopping the
shipments, would advance copper in Lon
don.

THE party assembled the steps, MAX
ing as little noise as possible, and Col.
Grant opened the door with latch key.
The meeting between Mrs. Sartoris and
her father was very pathetic. The gen.
eral, who was buoyant with hope and
full of apparent good health when Mel
lie parted with him brief year ago,
now looked pale, emaciated. His hair
and beard we're whitened by suffering
and worry, and the contrast was so
marked as to startle his little girl who
had braved the tempestuous ocean voy-
age to see her father before he died.
The hero opened wide his arms to well
come his only daughter, and she rushed
in and was soon encircled in his en-
brace, her heart nesting upon his breast,
while the hot tears coursed down her
cheek. Father and daughter both wept,
and it was some time before she was
freed to salute her mother, who was al
so deeply moved at the sad scene-[New

Do not laugh at the drunken man
Keeling through the streets, however lu.
dicrous the sight may be, just stop to
think. He is going to some tender
heart that will throb with intense agony;
some doting mother, perhaps, who will
grieve over the downfall of her once
sinIess boy; or it may be fond wife,
whose heart will always burst with
grief as she views the destruction of
her idol, or it may be loving sister
who will shed bitter tears over the deg.
radiation of her brother shorn of his
manliness and self respect. Rather
drop a tear in silent sympathy with
those hearts so sensitive and tender and
yet so proud and loyal that they cannot
accept sympathy rendered that in either
words, looks or acts, although it might
fall upon their crushed and wounded
hearts as refreshing as the summer dew
that falls upon the whitening plant
