log. The manufacturing OF war mater
ials calls for considerable quantities OF
the metal, and while the exports oil cop
DER haye fallen off a little recently, the In
creased domestic consumption has kept
the market strong. The London copper
market has been firm and IL is thought
that II the war results in curtailing the
shipments OF the metal from thiscountry,
much higher prices will obtain In thenear
future, as Europe depends upon the
American production for most OF it's cop
per supplies. In any event there appears
to be nothing in sight uniavorable Tor
the industry.
1t is believed In certain quarters that a
consolidation OF the Tamarack and the
OsceoIa companies will be effected In the
not far distant future on similar lines as
were the Osceola and the Tamarack Jun
ior miues. There are many good reasons
why such a consolidation should take
place and, IL the terms are equitably ad-
iusted, 1t il a foregone conclusion that
the stockholders will ratiiy the agree
ment.
Now that the Butte K Boston mine is
using one half OF its smelter on it's own
ores and will begin soon to treat none
but its own rock therein, stockholders
are beginning to figure on how much the
mine is earning and close estimates place
it at over SO per share at present and be-
tween Sc and 81 per share after May 10.
After making so many ex'rayagant
predictions and statements about pro-
ducing $50 tons of copper per month. it
is little wonder that the Centennial man
agement does not give out much infor
nation now as to the monthly product,
which is in the vicinity OF only forty tons
per month. gentleman who knows the
Centennial much better than any OF it's
present directors, says that II the man
agement would stop fooling away it's
money on the Calu net conglomerate and
shut down the stamp mill while properly
opening up the Osceola and Kearsarge
lodes, it would have a profitable mine
within years time.

BosToN, Mass, May

BOSTON, MASS, May z, 1910
The war has commanded all the atten.
tion during the past week and patriotic
enthusiasm has been shown in every
direction. The city presents half-holi-
day appearance, the national colors ty-
ing from almost every flagstaff. 10
nearly every place can be found someone
who has their opinion, and is not back
ward in expressing it, as to how long 1t
will take TO defeat the enemy's naval
forces and bring the Spanish to terms. !.
The rapidity with which the American
gunners demolished numerous coast for
tifications at MatanZas. last week, acted
as stimulant upon the sentiments OF
the most cold bIooded citizen, but. until
a real battle is fought, the more thought
full are suspending judgment as to the
ability OF the enemy's gunners.
Early in the week the stock market
lapsed into almost record-breaking dull
ness, the daily transactions being almost
the smallest in recent years, but the last
half OF the week witnessed considerable
activity and advancing prices. The
upward movement OF prices was due in
no small measure to the over-sold con-
dition OF the market. The short interest
found it impossible to induce liquidation
OF long stock on the strength OF the de-
claration of war and have had no other
favorable factors to faunt in the eyes oi
investors and create q scare. A few bold
traders, with ability to grasp the sltua.
ton, had only to begin to bid up one OF
two OF the stock, in which there was q
large short interest in order to set the
ball a-rolling, the shorts completing the
rise In their efforts to cover at even q
small loss.
While the advance OF the past few dayl
has been the result OF purely specula
tive maneuyer, it Is fact that all infu
