OUR COPPER INTERESTS.

The depression in copper has gone from bad to worse until a crisis seems to have been reached, and copper min ing companies must now either shut down until an improvement in prices takes place, or else continue to operate and exhaust their mInes without TO- ceiving any benefit therefrom Only the most favored companies can oper- ate without loss, even. The Engineer ing and Mining Journal iii reviewing the situation says: 'The climax Tn the copper trade appears to have been reached, Here Lake copper has been sold at Ill cents, and it IS certainly procurable in any reasonable quantity at 111 cents. Other brands may be quoted at l0l to 10a cents and are practically unstable at that for the present. * Chill bars in England have declined to nearly f47, equivalent to l02 cents here."
 Continuing the article reads; "We have not until now believed that the pressure of low prices would eurtail production in any of the leading min ing districts of the world. We are convinced however, that the point is now reached when it ceases to be a matter of choice, and we look for an early curtailment of the output in Chili, Australia and Europe, and for 8 closing down ofa number of mines in this country. On Lake Superior the losses of the smaller mines must be very heavy, and the best thIng they can do IS to close down. In Arizona the movement has already begun by the contemplated early cessation of one prosperous concern, whose mana gers simply decline Co exhaust their mine without an adequate return for their investment. In Montana only the large concerns and those that have some silver to fall back Ipon can sur vive, and it would probably be- better if even they would consent to some organized movement to reduce pro d1ctiOn."
 What is likely to Dc done in our dis. trict is the question of greatest mo- ment to the people of Globe. Of course we are all interested in seeing the Old Dominion Company continue operations, as it is the mainstay and life of our town. The company have always dealt generously with its em- ployes and worked under many dis. cOuraging conditions, but of late they have been peculiarly fortunate in hay, ing large bodies of high grade and sell fExing ore, and their affairs have been managed with intelligence and econo' my. However, even these advantages arc more than counterbalanced by the greatly reduced prices of copper. Ii IS the wish of the management of tho Old Dominion Company to continue work, but unless an improvement ir prices takes place, it will not be . matter of choice with them, and ir order to save themselves from loss il will be necessary either to ourtaiI ex penses or shut down their works.

The Pioche (lJsy,) Record says: The
 price of labor IS being gradually re-
 dueed throughout Utah. At Silver Reef tine miner is receiving but s per day for his labor, and the pay of the engineer and mechanic has also been
 reduced. The Frisco Mining and
 Smelling Company, of Frisco, have notified the men employed in the Car honate mine, in Champion district. and the Cave mine, III Bradshaw district, that on and after December list, the wages of miners employed by that company will be lowered to s per day. There seems to be move throughout the whole of the inter mountain country tending to the re- ductiOn of the price paid labor of all kinds, and it is gradually being &C., complished. To-day, in Nevada, there are several camps where the miner re- eeiyes but S3.50 per day for his labor, This reduction of wages is inevitable, It is bound to come, and all can plain ly see that it is not far distant. Of course, everybody is opposed to the reduction the merchant, the butcher
 flor all are aware that the higher wages are and the more plentiful is the supply of money, the better is the price the storekeeper receives for his goods. But the question is, Can the mining companies exist under the present scale of prices that they lave been paying for the past twelve years? 2"

The French Birth Rate.

The French birth rate is the lowest in
Europe, and the consequence is that
Frenchmeu are becoming so scarce even
in France that they are obliged to fill
their workshops with Belgian, Italian,
Swiss and English artiticers; while they
have no surplus population, except
criminals, to send to their own colonies,
and they even find a great difficulty in
shipping off few thousand soldiers to
keep their little wars from collapsing.
At the beginning of the century the
population Of France was nearly twice
as large as that of Great Britain. They
are now nearly level, and in a few years
more France will have to descend into
the fifth rank of European states, while
England will rise into the fourth posi-
tion, the three greater states being Rus
sia, Germany and Austria-Hungary.-

The Judge and the lnnkeeper.

Among the anecdotes of Judge Wal
ton is the following: Early after his
first appointment he went to Alfred to
hold court and called on Landlord Ber-
ry, who offered him his best room with
a proviso that after eX-Judge Howard S
arrival he would have to put him in
another room. swell, what roolnP"
asked Judge Walton. He was shown a
little seven by Ri4e. len, whereupon he
told Berry that he would take the best
room, as Judge Howard would not
want it. "Why not?' asked Berry.
Because" said Judge Walton, Il

Saco.n "Who is going to take your
place here?" asked Mr.. Berry, who was
not quick to take in the situation.
"Why, nobody said Judge Walton.
"a Judge can't stay in town and hold
court and sleep in the street; he must
have a room" "Oh," said Berry. Il
will see.' He saw-and was con-
quered. He told Judge Walton he
could have his hest room. At the end
of the term Judge Walton gave the
landlord this advice: Court week is
your harvest. If you want long term
and to make lots of money make the
Judge just as comfortable as you can.
He has power to break up the court just
when he pleases; but if he is made com

Because you have no shoes! Dearme.
How many things they let you do!
Then you can sleep out in the shade
All day, | guess, and all night, too.

If YOU have been reared in extreme
poverty, and your mother supported
YOU until you grew up and married, so
that your wife could support you' you
will probably sit in four seats at the
same time with your feet extended into
the aisles so that you can wipe them off
on other people while you snore with
your mouth open clear to your shoulder
blades.
If you are prone to drop to sleep and
breathe with a low, death-rattle, like
the exhaust of bath-tub, it would be
good plan to tie up your head in a
feather-bed, and then insert the Whole
thing in the linen closet, or if you can
not secure that you might stick it out of
the window and get it knocked OFT
against tunnel.
In the morning is good time to find
out how many people have succeeded
in getting on the passenger train who
ought to be in the stock car.
Generally you will find one male and
one female. The male goes into the
wash-room, bathes his worthless car
cass from daylight until breakfast-time,
walking on the feet of any man who
tries to wash his face during that time.
He wipes himself on nine different tow
els, because when he gets home he
knows he will have to wipe his face on

reared on hay all their lives generally
want to fill themselves full of pie and
collie when they travel.

goes into the ladies department and
remains there until starvation drives her
out Then the real ladies nave about
thirteen seconds a piece in which, to
dress.
If you never rode in vanished car
before, and never expect to again, you
will probably roam up and down the
car, meanderng over the feet of the
porter while he is making up the berths.
