"When Doctors Disagree"
Two Opinions Of the Outlook fo- Copper Drawn from
Two Prominent Technical Journals.

The Salt Lake Tribsne says that Mr.

The doubling of value Of stock iu the

surface indication OF the tremendous
activity in copper mining everywhere.

cessive production can check the present

cept prohibitory and extortionate figures)
can quickly check the advance in price
For nearly seven years increasing foreign
consumption has sustained the Ameri-
can copper market; now that domestic
requirements have ben augmented the
price mounts still higher. Since 1894
the American copper production increas
ed from 10000 tons to 284 100 tons; in
the same time foreign production de-
creased from $1,000 tons 10 1894 to $500
American copper have risen from 77.UO
tons in 1894 and g., 90 in 1885 to 145, ,OOO
tons in 1898, thus leaving Tor domestic
consumption 5000 tons 10 1884 nud lO6-
600 tons in 1895. and in 1898 but 5000
tons. In addition it is to be noted that
when the big French syndicate went to
pieces just ten years ago, it left 110,OOO
TONS 10 the hands OF the sub-syndicates
and of the bankers. Lake copper then
fell to below 10 cents, aud the bankers
called for conference with the leading
American producers. The Calumet and
Hecla people tod them that il they
wished to market their copper the price
would he about five cents per pound, and
they would be found willing to meet the
market at that figure, with the Anaconda
also in competition for the market. This
was bitter, but resulted In an agreement
that there be no restriction As 70 the
price Of copper, but the Calumet Hccla
and the Anaconda agreed not to incroase
| their output, in consideration " the
| bankers agreeing to market only limited
amount per annum Of their cuEulated
supply. That visible supply ofcopper IN
March, 1883, has come down from l70.OuO
| tons 10 the hands of the bankers syudi-
cate to a total worlds visible supply To-
day of 26 600 tons, and the world through
a dul iudu stri Il period the past ten
years has seen a5sof ling l5.OOO tons oi

Twenty years ago ragged, friendless,
blind darkey fiddler wandered into a
little Missouri town and stopped where
a grading gang was at work. The fidd-
ler tuned his poor old instrument and
soon was surrounded by crowd. The
contractor in charge Of the grading, in
overalls and jumper, was one of the lis
teners. He found the negro could play
the piano and he made up his mind af-
ter hearing him that the blind negro,
who was Blind Boone of later fame,
could mako living for both Of them,
and ever since then he has been Blind
BoOne's manager, aud each is said to be
worth now $200,OOO. For Boone, travel.

do, before audiences in opera houses and
churches was far easier than tramping

40 GOOD as He sent.

Pukwana Press: 1t was in Her Maj.

breakfast table in one Of the leading ho-
tells Of Victoria sat annmbcr of the mem
bers Of the National Editorial associa-
tion, among whom was Tracy of the
Ipswich Democrat and stranger---an
Englishman-besiae Mr.. Tracy. The
boys were in none too good llumor, for
the scramble for rooms about two o'clock
that morning hal not yet digested and
lay quite heavy on some OF the boys
stomachs. Mr.. Tracy was among the inn
patient Cnes and started to help himself
to whatever there was in sight and what
he could reach handily. What was out
Of reach he assti! 10 !ltya passed to him.
The Englishmall was asked to pass the
salt, and Mr.. Tracy was somewhat star
tied with the answer he got to the re-
quest, which was this: "Sir, am not a
Waitahl'
This was corker and nOmistake. but
MIR. Tracy was equal to his lordship. and
as quick as the remark, came the reply,
also, and it was this: "Well, sir, you
may not be 'waitah,' but you look like
One."
The Englishman did not cara to dis
pute Mr.. Tracy's word and We think it
was a good thing for him that he did
not, and this Is no insinuation that Mr..
Tracy would not have carried himself be-
coming to gentleman. But he would
have been equal to the occasion under
any circumstances, and we'd bet money
on him every daYi in the week. The En-.
glishman learned that the American peo.
lple do not consider it degrading to wal,

merchandise of Clay, Clay county, w. Va.
struck his leg against a cake of les in
such u manner as to bruise it severely.
1t heceme very much swollen and panied
him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid or crntches. He was
treated by PHYSICIANS, also used several
kinds of liniment and twoand a half gal
Ions of whiskey In bathing it, but moth.
ing gave any relief until he began using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought
almost a complete cure in weeks time
aud he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had to
be amputated. Pain Balm is enequaled

we can think of nothing new to write,
save that each visit to either of the cities
but intensifies the good opinion of them

At 8 p. m. a steamer came up from st.
Paul, and upon which all took passage
FOR the city down the river. A splendid
military band was on board and the ,ts-

St. Paul way. There was fun all the
way down; liyelier crowd it would be

kept them at it to the music Of the
Georgia Camp Meeting until we laugh

of wind. Then captivating Mime
apolis girl stepped out after considerable
persuasion, and showed how the "per-
flesh" did it. firing out half dozen male
escorts. Then we got a couple of gen
uine darkeys at it-and SO it went all
the way to st. Paul.
