John Films, who recently went to
Boston for the purpose OF organizing
o company to operate the Shasta
King mines in Utah, has written Il
lstter stating that great depression
exists there in the copper stock mar
ket, owing to the great shrinkagc in
stock valuations which were rife las,
Winter. The shrinkage is estimated
at $50, 600, 900 in Boston alone. The
slump is due to the failure Of the
Amalgamated Copper Company to
,complete the gigantic trust organi-
cation which they proposed. The
market has become almost panicky,
and the effect will be to check copper
development temporarily, because in
yestors have become timid. Men
like De La Mar will not be affected,
though new operations may be inter
rupted until the result of a steady
market is reached

She had scarcely left when a sharp
looking hey about ~ years of age slid
up to the fruit seller and said: II say
are you going to hit any more old
women to-day?'
'Why, no-not if can help it," was
the reply.
IF you are, give me chance" con-
tinred the lad. I'll bring my sister
