Immense Copper Ledge.

San Francisco, March 2O.-A special
from Tacoma says: Immense copper
lodges have been discovered on Prince
William Sound, Alaska, between Orca
and Valdez, not far from the mouth of
Copper river. In one instance glacial
action has laid bare a copper ledge g.,
900 feet long, four feet wide, extending
from tidewater to back in a high bluff.
Nearby other copper Lodges, though
not so favorably exposed, are being
opened by men who claim they are
working for the Standard Oil syndicate.
An English syndicate is represented
there by Llewellyn Williams, a mining
expert of London, who was ordered
thither by cable from Australia.

The Silver Cloud.

At recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Silver Cloud Mining
company, the secretary was instructed
to proceed at once and to have the three
claims of the company patented. The
president of the company was also au-
thOrized to have a house and black
smith shop erected at the mine without
delay; and it was decided to advertise
for bids to continue the shaft on down
another hundred feet.

Gated near Silver City, and there will

Metal Quotations.

New York. March 2O.-Sweeping price
changes were scored in today's meta
market. Pig iron warrants advanced 50
points; copper went off % to 70 points;
tin dropped IL to 10 points, and lead de-
clined points. The Improvement in iron
was directly due to a sudden influx of
orders and a refusal of producers to sell
at anything like last prices. The other
departments turned weak under a tenn
pOrary withdrawal of buyers and more
urgent offerings, together with disap-
pointing cables. The metal exchange at
the close called:
Pig iron warrants firm, with 5000 bid
and S11.00 asked.
Lake copper, 1915 bid and 17.25 asked.
Tin easy, with 1852 bid and 23.75 asked.
Lead easier. with $40 bid and S4.45
asked.
spelter firm, with $685. bid and $40
asked.
The brokers' price for lead is $40 and
copper 1850.

Complaints from foreign importing
concerns OF the condition in which they
receive American cotton are by nc
means infrequent. These complaints
have brought forth a suggestion from
the Philadelphia Commercial museums
to the effect that packers and shippers
would probably find it to their advan-
tage to be more particular in baling
their cotton for shipment abfe ad. In
a letter of recent date large cotton
and yarn house at Osaka, Japan, says
that the American bales are too bulky,
and are very inconvenient to deal
with, while the Bombay cotton, al
though of different quality, is packed
in less bulk and more conveniently for
handling.

Recently in New York some one in
crowd of roughs struck a poor woman
with a stone, breaking her arm. The
missile had been thrown at random
and the blame could not be fastened
on any individual member of the
gang" Besides physical suffering
the accident brought helplessness and
grief to the unfortunate victim. For
wears she had struggled to maintain
a payment of twenty-five cents a week
to a company which. in return, insured
her decent burial. But deprived Of the
means of earning even the scantiest
wages. it appeared as though her long
fight had been in vain. and that her
body would lie in the potter's field.
This alone was a matter of the deep
est regret. Shortly after the accident
she was evicted by her landlord. She
was. however, rescued from the aims
house by neighbors poor as herself
"Ard now" says the person who dis
covered her, every week one OF the
gang brings her out of his scanty
wages the quarter, that alike insures
her peace of mind and the undisturbed
rest of her body in its long sleep, which
a life of toll has pictured to her as the
greatest of es-th's boons." A young
man caps r,e of this fine act of repara-
ton ha- Qualities that ought some day
to put him in a position superior to
the low environment by which he is
now hidden.
