ing.
The free reading room opened in
this city couple OF weeks ago seems
to be rapidly growing in favor, the
visitors increasing in number day
by day. The ladies who have under
taken this highly laudable work of
providing this mode Of entertainment
for all who wish to avail themselves
of it are greatly encouraged, and feel
that they will meet with success.
Mr.. Fuld having donated the use of
the room for the winter, there is no
rent to pay; the winter supply of coal
is either on hand, or there is money
enough in the treasury to pay for it.
The electric light is also secured for
the winter, and the funds on hand will
suffice to pay for attendance on the
reading-room, AID for keeping it in
order.
An erroneous impression seems to
prevail that those who visit the read
ing-room are expected to pay for ad :
mission or for the privilege Of reading
there. Such is not the case. The
room, newspapers, books, games, etc,
arc free as air, to all who choose to
use them.
The choice of reading matter is not,
however, as extensive as the ladies
would wish; neither is it as complete
as it will be soon. Some ID or II of
the finest publications in the country
will begin coming next week; and
this number will BE- added to from,
time to time, as the funds on hand
warrant the outlay.
But now and at all times all who
wish to call at the reading room will
be cordially welcome.

Hydrogen for Armies.

The production of large quantities
of hydrogen by either Of the common
processes-by passing water as steam
over glowing iron, or by drcomposing
a solution of sui phuric acid with iron
or zinc--requires the use Of apparatus
and materials not readily transported.
This and other advantages are obviat-
ed by the new method of Mai TT and
Richter, German chemists, which is
primarily intended for military bal
looming. a mixture OF slaked lime
and zinc dust is heated to redness,
when the water is separated from the
lime and decomposed by contact with
the zinc, giving off pure hydrogen.
The mixture is simply dry powder,
while the retort resembles a small
portable engine, aud can be easily
drawn by four horses. A balloon Of
moderate size can be filed in three
hours.

Sam. Allen, who has been working

At point about 100 feet in he cut

punches Of high grade ore of the
usual quality found in the Parker.
He continued his explorations along

cross-vein carrying good ore at the
point of intersection, from which he
extracted eight sacks in a day. A
month or six weeks will be required

How Few Arc Rich.


November Forum
1t is probable, to say the least, that
fully 80 per cent. of the whole body
of the people spend nearly all they
can earn. OF this 90 per cent. por-
ton may be setting aside moderate
part of their small earnings, become
the owners of house, or become de-
positors in savings bank, or insure
their lives in a moderate way. OF the
remaining 10 per cent. part save
enough to protect themselves against
want in their later years, and very
small part may become rich, and then
need not work unless they choose.

FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Offered the Anaconda Company to Stop
the Production Of Copper for Six
Months.
New York World, Dec. 12.l
A few French spectators are die
tating the price of copper the world
over.
Copper, in other words, is cornered.
And, moreover, it may be cornered
for years to come unless the cooper
syndicate" as this great trust is
called, can be broken.
These French copper gamblers
have on hand, according to a careful
estimate, $4,000 tons of copper more
than the market now requires. They
are loaded to the neck-copper-
fastened, so to speak.
Copper yesterday sold in the New
York market for l74c a pound. A
year. a-half ago, when the ''visible
supply" or surplus, WAS only $4,000
pounds Tor exactly one-third what it
is now, the price of copper was 9ac,
or little over half the present price.
1t is said that the Calumet and
flecla and the Anaconda companies,
the two great American producers,
can afford to "lay down." or deliver,
copper in New York for seven cents
pound.
The syndicate holds club over the
producing companies. The com
panies themselves put the weapon in
its hands.
In the first place the contracts
with the companies were made at
figures far above the market prices,
and the companies were glad to go
into the deal. They have been turn
ing out all the copper they could to
increase their profits. The normal
visible supply has never been over
$4,000 tons In six months the
visible supply has nearly trobled, and
the output of copper is increasing all
the time. The plant Of the Anacon-
da is being numerously increased,
and it is said that next year it will be
able to produce 100000 tons of cop
per, against abou, half that amour:
this year. The smaller mines will
develop their capacities, and if things
keep on as they are going the excess
at the end of 1889 will be 100000
sons or more.
The production must be decreased.
1t is reported, with every show of
correctness, that the syndicate has
been trying to make an arrangement
with the Anaconda company to close
its mines for time. 1t is said that
the syndicate offered he Anaconda
S4,000,00O to shut down for six
months. James b. Haggin, on be-
half of himself and the other owners,
asked 100000.
The contracts between the mining
companies and the syndicate are
binding on both parties and cannot
be broken at will. If the syndicate
aHnot by any mutual sg7ee ent in
duce the companies to stop mining it
will threaten them. By May lst it
may have 10000 tens of copper
more than the market requires. fit
should throw this copper on the
market the price would go to six
cents pound, it is thought. The
mines would then have to close. IT
they kept on producing at that figure
the companies would be bankrupted.
There is no way in which the syndi.
cate can unload without loss except
by stopping the production.

Have to Learn tho Ropes.

Bob Burdette says: "The old idea
was that when you boom a western
town you start IN with a saloon every
other door and church comes in by
and-hy. In Kansas you stumble over
churches and get tangled up among
the colleges and lost in the labyrinth
of "homes" and reading-rooms, b. t
you have to sneak around and learn
the ropes and lie little to get IA
drink, and still the boom goes on"
