Chinn's Wall.
(From the Brooklyn EagIe.) \


Considering how far away are from the
scene Of the operation, it does not make a great
deal of difference to whether the great wall of
China is torn down not; yet there is feeling
of regret that one of the worlds noted mon,i-
ments and curiosities should be doomed, because
there appears no reason for its demolition. Still.
il is learned that firm Of contractors in Chicago
expects to get the job, and whatever Chicago un-
dcrtakes it does-unless it is the provision Of a
decent government for itself. The wall was put
I'M to keep out the Tartars. and is practically n
fort more than 1900 miles long. over ID feet
high and thick enough, for six horsemcn to ride
abreast II was built by several millions of men
nearly seventeen centuries ago, and is quite as
remarkable as the pyramids Of Egypt. propc-
sition to tear down the pyramids would certainly
be resented by the whole civilized world. The
wall is in nobodys way, and it is one of the most
interesting relics of antiquity in the world. When
China is open to travel and is provided with rail
roads and safe highways, it soon will be- these
exhibits of a former civilization will be of more
consequence to historians, antquariars- and tour
lists than anything else in the country. The peo-
ple themselves have limitations, so that few Of
them adequately represent the whole: their indus
tries are not nomentous or important, as com
pared with those of civilized lands: they have not
q great deal to offer in art; hence, their monu-
ments will be the chief shows Of the Empire. 1t
will cost millions OF dollars to tear down the
great WALL and it is hard to see how anybody,
outside of Chicago, will profit single cent by
its removal.

Menage was indicted for embezzlement at

This first s75, 9oooo 600 is an incorporation
to raise money from the public to pay for

There would be danger Of disturbing
the financial situation~if a $500. 900, 900 cop

four properties is embraced in the $751;

OF course not all the shares Of these

UNFORESEEN
ACCIDENT
ROBERT BENEFITS DEATH IN
VESTIGATED BY A JURY
LAST NIGHT.

Coroner Julien and a jury held an in
quest last night on the body of Robert
BENEFITS, who died Sunday morning
from the result of injuries received at
the Leonard mine on Saturday morn
ing.
Robert Rothbert, the partner of the
deceased, was the most important wit
ness. He testified that he was passing
timbers to Benefits, who was standing
on a plank which rested on cleats IN the
chute. BENEFITS was engaged in mailing
or the lining and witness was no more
than three feet distant from him. He
| was looking at BENEFITS when he noticed
a rock weighing about Is or 20 pounds
fall on top Of Benefits head, n the
latter was knocked from the scaffold to
the bottom of the chute. The witness
said emmett vas an old miner and
knew that he was taking great chances
in working in the chute without putting
some protection over him.
George w. Kuhn, another miner, said
that he always took the precaution Of
boarding over a chute before he started
to work in it, and his opinion was that
every man engaged in such work was
supposed to look out for himself, as there
! was always ample time and material for
him to do so. He attributed the accident
to the carelessness of BENEFITS. Only a
few days previous the witness had re-
moved all the loose rock or the floors
above the chute.
w. G.. BENEFITS, who is not a relative
Of deceased, testified that he had worked
for eight years with the deceased and
had known him to be a competent, care
full timberman. He believed Bennetts
should nave provided himself with some
protection in the chute without being
told to do so, as a man with his expert
ence was supposed to know what to do
without being instructed by a shift boss
or foreman.
Other witnesses testified to the same
effect.
Deputy Mine Inspector Hunter testified
to having made an examination of the
place after the accident. On the sixth
floor, three floors above BENEFITS, he had
found a pile of rock, and he was of the
opinion that a piece of this rock had
been Jared and had fallen down the
chute. BENEFITS was a man who was
supposed to know his business without
awaiting instructions from the shift boss
or foreman. and he should have amply
protected himself. From witness per-
sonal observation. at all of the mines of
this company, there vas ample material
at the disposal of the men, and it was
the fault of the men if they did not
use it.
The following verdict was rendered:
THAT the deceased came to his death
in Butte. Silver Bow county, Montana,
on the 3Oth day of April, 1899, from hav-
ing his skull fractured by being struck
on the head by a falling rock while at
work in the Leonard mine, Meaderville
township. Silver Bow county, Montana,
on the 29th day of April, 1899, and from
the evidence we, the jury, believe the
death of said deceased to ave been due
to an unforeseen accident"

Copper Shares Weak in B0st IN

THE COPPER CONSOLIDATION
Properties Will be Capitalized at
0,0oo,0 o0--The Future
Of Copper,

The copper stock were all off wrong
today. lower prices prevailing in all of
the ~specialties. Advices from New York
n Boston received in Butte yesterday
were to the effect that the copper shares
would touch a low point today owing to
some influences unexplained.
Boston & Montana's low point today
was 3S3, reaching 3S5 during the trading
and receding at the close to 1884. Butte &,
Boston was apparently the favorite on
the stock board selling we'll up above the
100 mark today and closing about 1O4.
Parrot has been falling for several days
n apparently reached it's low point to-
day at IS. 1t was pegged at that during
several hours of trading, but late in the
afternoon took an upward tendency and

COPPER STILL ADVANCING.

Mr.. Leonard Lewisohn, of Lewisohn
Bros. & Co., the metal dealers, says:
Copper is going higher simply because
nobody can stop it. Neither the mines
we represent nor the Calumet & Hecla
can supply the demand. I look to see
Lake copper sell at 20 cents this year.
Some people tried to stop the advance in
copper when it was II cents, but they
might as we'll have tried to sweep up the
ocean. There was a slight halt in the
advance when Secretan died. He had
quite a block of copper on hand, but it's
absorption only checked the market for
is just as strong as ever. 1t is not so
much a question of price as where the
supplies are to come from.
There are no facilities for increased
copper production in Spain or Italy.
They Ia only so much copper they can
put out per mum in the regular way.
They have not the American machinery
or hustle.
"Now America is consuming 30 per
cent more copper than a year ago. The
electrical manufacturing interests of this
country are alone consuming 40 per cent
more copper than last year, and I do not
see where the supplies are to come from
to meet the demand.
9TH United Verde in Arizona cannot
produce much more with it's present
facilities than it's $1,000, 600 pounds per an
mum. Old Dominion, in Arizona, can be
relied upon for only 1000, 900 pounds per
month. Montana cannot increase it's out
put materially this year, nor can the
supplies from Lake Superior be very
much increased. No considerable in
crease can be expected from the Parrot
mine, and the main increase this year

A DOUBLE
Saving

There is a double saving in cash
buying-the saving in price-and the
saving Of amounts you will not
spend when paying as you go--Here
is an extract from page 80, Ladies'
Home Journal of April.
Having things Charged as it is
called, or in other words running
monthly accounts in stores has un-
doubted!y, it's dangerous side. 1t
lies in the fact that it is misleading;
in that it is far more difficult to real
lze what n spends if the amount is
not Immediately paid than If the
cash were given at the time of the
transaction. At the same time, n
good deal depends on the woman.
Her financial problem is not so SIM
pie when she charges things as
when the amount Of money actually
spent passes from her hand. In that
respect accounts are delusive-al-
most invariably, when they come
in, they are larger in amount than
vas thought or calculated at the
time. But this is experience, and
man or woman, will learn better by
experience than by theory or rule"
