The Portland School Committee is
determined that the noble gladatorial
game of football shall be conducted in
that city upon a cash basis AS a result
there will be no Portland High School
football eleven, this fall, unless the stu
dents raise money to pay the team S
debts. A little thing like this ought not
to stop the boys if they have the genu-
inc spirit of the sport.

oners of war in their lines.

England is a military country, but
the common soldier is not held in high
esteem there. In fact, he is held in
great contempt. especially in times of
peace. Some stir has recently re-
suited from the action of prominent
British landlord in refusing to allow 4
private soldier to eat in his dining
room, though the soldier was sober
and well behaved. In commenting
upon this the Literary Digest says
that the British common soldier is
nearly always from the dregs of the
nation. 1t was Rudyard Kipling who
remarked:
For it's Tommy this. an Tommy that
an
Chuck him out. the brute,
But it's saviour of is country
When the guns begin to shoot.

PROFITS OF THE MINES.
What High Prices Have Brought
 About in Dividends.

Something has been told of what h.
 vestors have made by the rise in
 stocks. says the New York Mail and
 Express. What stockholders have
 made in dividends and what the com
 panies are clearing at the present
 prices of the metal, are equally inter- esting. Copper can be mined at a good profit when the market price is 10 cents a pound. The average cost of mining in all the existing properties was placed by one experienced operat- or to whom the Mail and Express cor respondent talked, at "A cents a pound. The Calumet and Hecla mine, in the big Michigan peninsula, gets t on the market at a cost of 6A cents a pound. The big mines about Butte, Mont, are put to a somewhat larger expense. but this is made up to them by the deposits of silver in their ore, which becomes a by-product of the smelters. The confidential man in one of the big houses said: Anything over IF cents is pure cream for the companies"
 The Amalgamated. it is understood, does not care whether copper continues to bring the top notch figures now pre- vailing. One representative said it would Fbe as well sat:sfed if the price dropped three or four cents It was said that it could not be expected that copper would continue at IS cents, but that future prices conservatively esti- mated would be close to 15 cents. At the present figure, as stated elsewhere, a single mine Is supposed to be earn ing S1,0OO, ,OOO a month.
 In the prospect of top notch figures some of the new copper propositions, it is said, must test their hopes of future dividends. In some cases they are mines so situated with reference to the market and with veins of such a character that it costs them, it was said by an amalgamated authority, perhaps 12 cents a pound to get out their copper. WLtle it is bringing IS cents a pound there is profit in them; if it should drop far they would not, it is declared, be able to continue.
 The great money maker of all the copper mines in the world, reviewed by the dividend record is the Calumet and Hecla. 1t has paid back to the stockholders since 1871 a total in divi- dends of about $60,000,000 on invest ment of S1,250000 Its last dividend, paid not long ago, of $40 a share, was the largest lump sum ever paid to it is said. by any Ameri- can enterprise. It was greater than the biggest dividend declared by one Of the best paying eastern railroads, which is capitalized at fifty times as much. Among some of the other mines the Anaconda has paid $8,250,OOO in two years on a capitalization of S30,- 900 900; Boston and Montana has paid $9 ,125, ,00O; Parrot, $2, POT, GOO: Quincy, $9470 900; Tamarack, $4,950, ,000; Osce- ola 2,522,O00.

Development of Copper Properties n ! That Section.

The following letter appeared In the last issue of the Mining Review writ ten by G. W. PittOck of Tucson:
 A few days ago I met ". c. Greene, who sold Q number of claims on a Oasis of $25O 000, 10 per cent cash, part stock and balance at the end of one year. The district in which the claims are situated, known as the Cananea, is thirty miles south of Naco and thirty seven miles from Bisbee. MT. Greene said that the 2OO-ton smelter began it's work about June 1 and the first carload of bullion was shipped June through Naco on the Arizona & Southeastern, a road owned by the Copper Queen company of Risbee, connecting at Benson with the Southern Pacific rail- road. Interested in the Cananea are George Mitchell of Jerome, who is su- perintendent; Prof. George .TFeadwell and Mrs. Anna Boyd.
 The story goes that Pete O'Day, a mi1,er who had met H. c. Young of Boston some months ago and who to- gether examined properties in the Cat- alinas. was advised to come to Boston by company which is now opening mp these properties. The necessary cash to supply OADay with raiment and q ticket to Boston was sent to the Zeckendorfs.
 On h.s arrival in Boston he was asked if $1O,00O was enough to open up the e. aims, and he answered no. He said s2.- 900 or nothing. He got that and the ErpeTfntendency His good sense was displayed in the remark that no machinery was necessary until the ground had rbeen blocked out" He is blocking out the property with fifteen men at his command.

 M. H. Twomey, who recently re- turned from trip to Boston, New York, Chicago, Salt Lake and Denver. says they are keeping a close watch on Arizona. MT. Twomey has gone to Guadalajara, Mexico, to investigate some mining interests for Newhouse of Salt Lake City. MT. Twomey will not return here until October.
