it has disappeared from the statistics.
Other Norwegian mines have made
atonement by advancing from $50 tons
to 3,615 tons, and it may be recalled
that the hopes of the Cape Copper COM
pany depend a good deal on the sue
cess Of Norwegian copper prospect.
Sweden turned out 1914 tons in 1880,
but only in 1883 did she again overtop
the 1.0OO-ton level, and she has now
slipped down below 500 tons.
Since 1880 the copper production of
the world has advanced from 153,959
tons to 424, ,126 tons, an increase of 270,-
167 tons. Towards this the United
States has contributed no less than
209,261 tons, leaving only 60,906 tons as
the result of augmented production or
new discoveries in other parts of the
globe. Among the increases may be
noted those of 21,200 tons from Japan,
1900 tons from the Peninsula, 10000
tons from Mexico, 1900 tons from Ger
many, $500 tons from Australasia, 5000
tons from Canada, 2,7O0 tons from Rus
sia, 2,400 tons from Peru and 1000 tons
from the Cape. Spain, Portugal and
Russia have just balanced the deficit
in the supplies from Chill, leaving Ger
many and the newer countries to meet
the fresh demands of industry-many
of which they have themselves created
The astonishing feature of the figures
is that the United States alone is now
turning out $4,000 tons more in a year
than the whole production of the world
in 1880; indeed, only in 1888 did the ag
gregate yield exceed what now comes
from the United States. Curiously
enough, the deliveries in England and
France last year were almost exactly
identical in volume with the produc-
ton of the United States, and as the
American consumption is now increas-
ing more rapidly than the supplies
there, we must depend on the continued
growth of production elsewhere to pre-
vent further dwindling of the al
ready meager stocks in hand On the
whole, it would appear that it may be
long ere new producers make such an
fere with the buoyancy of the copper
market. That is encouraging for the
new producers themselves; for it would

Where His Share Was,

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
There is a story now going the rounds
of clerical society which has the merit
of being true. Leo Kill, with all his
virtues. has, like all mortals. also his
small defects, one of which, as is well
known, is clOseness with regard to
money matters. Some members of his
family cannot. however. be accused of
this trait. and have consequently got
into trouble. One of these, who stands
very near the pontiff, when almost at
the end of his resources, remembered
that Leo XIII. not long ago had sold
vineyard belonging to the family in
common without ever speaking of divid-
ing the proceeds. The young man,
spurred on by necessity. took his cour-
age in both hands and went to the pom
tiff. After much circumlocution he ar
rived at the point of asking what he
considered his share" Share" eX-

New York, March 20.-Of course the

have been so seriously injured had he
not devoted time and attention to the
dazed women. Placing them on the
rope, he waited until they had reached
the ground before attempting to es-
cape. Then he descended. His hands
had been burned while dragging one of
the women from the hallway and his
grip on the rope was loosened before he
reached the pavement. He fell about
20 feet, receiving internal injuries
Mr.. Love is at the New York hos
pital where saw him the day after the
fire. Much to my surprise he seemed in
fairly good spirits; conversed without
difficulty; manifested deep interest in
subjects relating to Montana, and when
asked what message he desired to send
to his friends in the West smiled and
said: "Oh, tell them that I am all right.
and that l hope soon to be on my feet
again" He lost all his earthly possess
sions but by no means bemoans his
fate. He considers himself lucky to be
alive When I called at the hospital I
found that others who knew Mr.. Love
in Butte had been more prompt in the
expression of sympathy. a beautiful

Drought against the strikers and the
Glass Blowers association of the United
States and Canada by the Cumberland
Glass Manufacturing company TO re-
strain them in their coercive methods

lence were complained of, and il was
alleged that a general boycott was in
sututed against those who were inter-
ested in the success OF the manufacture
ing company.
The strike was amicably settled, but
the opinion is important, as il sets forth
wha are legitimate and what unlawful
acts or workmen on strike. The court
q frst decides that the Glass Blowers as
sociation as such cannot be entoined.
There should be an injunction against

Scientists are still disagreeing about
