THE MINERAL MARKET
rnr COPPER IxprsrRY.

The revival of copper mining and the marked advance in the price of that metal does not warrant the opin- ion that an overproduetion is immi- nent Notwithstanding the activity in the copper industry, the production of copper in the United States and Eu- rope, for the first seven months of 1895 was only l42, sos tons, being 5,A25 tons less than during the same period in 1894; and this in the face of an in creased consumption in both Europe and this country.
 There are substantial reasons, there fore, for higher prices, and the re- rival of business generally, and espe- cially the growing consumption of cop per for electrical purposes, insure good prices for some time to come. How ever, it is not likely that there will be any further material advance in the price of copper, and 1t is not desirable that there should be- as the effect would be the substitution of cheaper metals in the manufacture of many articles of commerce. The copper mar ket is in O healthy condition, favor able alike to the producer and con sumer.

Tungsten, which Is about one and a half times heavier than lead and nl- most as hard as steel, is considered the best metal for rifle bullets now that the diminished calibre of rifles has led to the use of smaller bullet It Is de- sirable under the circumstances to have for the manufacture of rifle bullets metal heavier than lead, and of greater penetrating power. A tungsten ball penetrates a steel plate three inches in thickness at @ distance of CjO yards, while a similar one of lead only pene- trates Q two-and a-half-inch plate at 325 yards As rule bullets are made of perfectly pure lead the purity of which is tested by chemical analysis. Any impurity tends 10 alter the weight and to affect the expansion, and thus to spoil the shooting of the arm. The bullets are all made by compression the lead being just squirted into long rods and then formed into bullets in a machine

A Peculiar Beverage of the south Sc
 Islanda

Peculiar Beverage of the South Sea
 Islands.
 Kava is an indigenous tree, more or less plentiful throughout the South Sea islands, the root of which is em- ployed in the manufacture of the drink. When visitors are present, much cere- mony is observed in it's preparation. A beautiful round bowl of darkcolored wood is produced, it's interior shining with blue cnamellike coating, caused by the deposit of the root Generally gteal5ing, the best bowl is the property pf the village and much care is taken and time is spent in polishing and pre- serving the enamel in the interior
 Three young girls, with shining white teeth, chosen usually from the "belles" of the village, seat themselves around the bowl, each having piece of the kava root This they proceed to Jreak up into small pieces, and, put ting them into their mouths chew the dry root till it is reduced to pulp, which is placed from time to time in the kowl A sufficiency having been Ehus prepared water is poured in and the whole mixture stirred up; punches of fine fiber are then drawn through the liquid to strain out any small pieces of the root which may remain. The drink is now complete, and is passed around in cups of coeoanut shell to the chiefs and principal people of the as sembly in order of rank.

 The very liberal action of tho Copper Queen Mining Company in voluntarily increasing the wages O; its employees 30 cents day, is the subject of much favorable remark. It is as commend able as it IS surprising that corpora ton should of it's own volition pay out nearly S400 per day more than is ab- solutely required of it; and viewing the matter from business standpoint, it pays a company to deal liberally with employees, as the man who Is not re- sponsiye to kind and generous treat meut is certainly of low order of intellect such as no employer would want at any price. The payment of generous wages is like casting "bread upon the waters, for thou shalt 6Gd it after many days" The Copper Queen Co. is now paying s3 and S3.5O per day wages.

 The gale came up with such sudden ness and fury that all efforts to keep the ship to her course were fraitless. She was forced by the gale to describe a series of circles, just as if she had been caught in a maclstrom. The revolutions finally ceased, and, after hard struggle with fresh blow of shore, the Nesmith eventually escaped. She was rather badly crippled, how ever, having sprung a lcalS astern which promised to do considerable damage to her cargo, Capt Starkey turned his men to the pumps and headed the ship with all sail for Ber- rnuda. From Bermnda to this port she enjoyed splendid weather. The Ne smith was altogether one hundred and forty-six days making the voyage from New York.

Harold W. Roll, late editor of the Flagstaff Democrat, is in St. Louis taking the Paquin serum treatment for consumption, and tho Coconino Sun publishes au interesting letter from him, in regard to the treatment, of which the following is an excerpt:
 "The tuberculosis bacilh are culti- yated in sort of bouillon and in- jected into the horses The injection produces certain symptoms and rise in temperature. It requires about three months to immuuize the horse. The injections of bacilli then have DO effect on the animal, showing that the system is proof against the poison The iugular vein is then opened and the blood drawn, from which the serum is prepared When ready the serum is put up in half-ounee vials and looks something the color of clear brandy. The serum Is injected into the patient g back in quantities beginning with ten drops and rising to sixty, once daily, The theory is that it will produce in the human system the same immunity against tuberculosis as existed in the horse.
 There are sCverul persons in St. Louis who claim to have been cured by the treatment Physicians in many parts of the country are experiment. ing with it, and the principal hospitalt arc testing it's efficacy.

The Gable Question.

Hon. Audley' Coote said on
Saturday that he anticipated
the cable would be at Homo
lulu within eighteen months.
The recent dispatches say with
a degree of positiveness that
the British and Canadian
promoters are sticking to their
all-British cable scheme, which
would leave Honolulu out and
go by way of Tanning Island.
There is a strong prejudice
among the leading promoters
in Canada against Mr.. Coote's
scheme, because the first link
of it has been laid to the
French colony of New Caledo-
MIA. In the end, however, il
is to be hoped that some un.
dsrstanding will be reached be.
tween the promoters of the al
yet separate projects. 1t il
such a large undertaking t.
lay a cable through this ocear
that a division of interests can
not help being liable to at leas
delay the contamination Of an,
scheme. Unless a union O
minds be brought about, a
alluded to here, there is
strong possibility that if the all
British cable be laid, it vii
soon be followed by an inter
national cable, taking in He
nolulu, encouraged with ali
from the United States, Ger
many and France, togeths
with the help already given, i
the link that is laid, by Queens
land and Tasmania. Their
