THE CLEARANCE SALE.
Did you see the crowds we

clothing men. Those that can

about the state of the country
lament "the good old times

Superintendent }. x. Pardee, of the Iron

information that the wagon road from the
mine to the river and thence TO the railroad
is completed and that ore is being hauled
10 the track for shipment 10 the East Hell
ena smelter. When asked how much ore
he would ship this month, the genial j. h.
replied: Enough To enable us TO declare a
$4,000 dividend next month" He has
great confidence ia the value Of the Iron
Mountain. and believes il to be the richest
mine in Montana.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
sums up the copper situation as follows:
Inactivity and dullness still continue the
most conspicuous features in the copper
market Speculation for the time being is
dead, and the only buyers are actual con
tive demand is unsatisfactory is freely ad-
mitted on most sides, and manufacturers
cannot be induced TO buy a pound more
than they need for immediate require
ments. some of the large lake companies
state that their sales have been very
satisfactory recently and that current con.
sumption is very large. The purely arti-
fetal level of II cents per pound, which is
stu retained Tor lake copper Is becoming
more and more evident every week, and
there cannot be the slightest doubt that If
left to natural Influences values would
have come down considerably before now
The trade generally are now awaiting the
resnit of the meetings which have taken
ducers (the object of which has been pre-
vlOusly alluded 10 by us), and il is under
stood that the final meeting takes place to-
day IN Boston, IL seems pretty certain that
some concerted action will then be decided
on, but whether OF not in favor of the gen.
eral body of consumers remains to be seen.
lt i only natural 10 conclude that every
thing practicable Will be done to keep
prices up as much as possible, but as the
production Is still in excess Of cOnsump-
tion, and this means additions 60 the al
ready enormous stocks in this country,
there seems 10 be only one course TO adopt,
which Is 10 greatly reduce the output. This
cen of course be done by an agreement
amongst the producers 70 reduce their pro-
ductOn pro rata, but the more natural
and more satisfactory course in the
end is doubtless 10 allow val
ues to decline 10 the point
where production becomes improbable
to the companies least favOrsbly clrcum-
sianced- The comparatively lower prices
obtainable for casting copper have already,
it is reported, led 10 8 portion Of the Cop
per Queen mine being laid OF. and 10 the
dismissal of 500 miners. IL is also said
that the Copper Falls and other smaller
mines are likely TO follow suit With
these probable reductions the production
will still remain considerably in excess Of
the cOnSumpTive demand. We quote to

The Season of Promise and Praise.
The summer time is coming,
Gay birds are on the wing:
My heart makes merry music,
To these sweet notes of spring.
Tho April skies are weeping
They soon will smile again;
They'll wake the flowers from sleeping
These tears Of April rain!
And soon, DER hill and valley,
That late were clad in snow
Sweet yiolets and daisies
In beauty bright shall glowl
And you, we forest monarchs
That toss your branches bare:
Your leafy crown of verdure,
And royal robes shall wear.
The streams are all unfettered,
Like children wild with glee,
They're dancing on in gladness
Toward the mighty sea.
Hark. bark! From plain and river
Hear natures anthem ring
Forever and forever,
The Lord our God is king!
