SPECULATION IN COPPER.

The strong speculation in the metals
which has carried copper this week up
to 18 cents in New York and over ETA
in London is much to be regretted, says
the Mining & Engineering Journal.
With the improved conditions of busi-
ness and the active demand for the me-
tai, both here and in Europe, in electri-
cal, ship building and other work, a
rise was to be expected. Until quite re-
Gently the improvement was a natural
and legitimate one, and the producers
could derive only benefit from it. Now,
however, the spectators have taken
hold, and the Intention is said to be to
force the quotations up to 20 cents, which
is quite possible under present condi-
tions. The inevitable result will be to
curtail consumption and to turn manu-
facturers to other metals wherever they
can possibly be used Moreover. there
will be a general opening up Of old mines
which have been abandoned as unprofit-
able and an exploitation of new ones,
W hich will be sure to increase production
to a point beyond the real demand. The
inevitable reaction will be disastrous to
speculation and injurious to investors in
new and old mines, which cannot be
worked at profit under ordinary con-
ditions. The moderate advances justi-
fed by trade conditions would have
benefited our mines far more than any
advantage they any again
from the present wild speculation.

DISARMAMENT IN ARIZONA.
How It Was Accomplished Bya Clever
Fireman in Tombstone.

Fireman in OmbStone.
"This newspaper talk about tho czar 6
| disarmament scheme" said western
man, to New Orleans Times Democrat
reporter, reminds me of something that
happened in Tom bstone, Arizona. W hen
| that place was the hottest hamlet on
the whole frontier. There were two
factions in town at the time; and every
body predicted that a big pitched battle
was liable to occur at any moment. The
split grew out of an old quarrel between
the COW boys and certain self-constitut-
ed authorities, and was complicated ny
to many side issues that nobody knew
exactly what it was about. All that was
perfectly clear was that two good sized
crowds were zigzagging about town
waiting for some tribe to start the fracas.
Every member of both parties was arm
ed to the teeth and afraid to lay aside
his. sh ooting irons for a moment lest he
betak en- at a disadvantage. In addition
to the regulation 10 caliber Colts, most
of them carried sawed off shotguns.
These weapons were very popular IN
Arizona in the early days, and were or
binary breech leaders with the barrels
amputated some eight inches above the
locks, making just about the ugliest ma
chine that mortal man ever gazed into
When loaded with half pint or so OF
slugs it would kill everything in an acre
lot except the gentleman directly behind
the gun. Nobody ever thought of fir
ing the things from the shoulder, but |
turned them loose at the hip and the |
medish way of carrying. them was by a
loop Of clothes line tied at one end to |
the belt and at the other to a ring in the |
breech ylate. Local dudes used to go |
about twirling them1ike monocles. Well, |
this armed peace went along without |
any special inciden for over half 4 year,
greatly to the disgust of every body.
You see, each side carried so much
artillery and kept such sharp T
lookout that none of them cared to take
chances on starting Il row. That was
the way things stood when the fire de-
partment got ready to give its annual
ball, which was the great social event OF
VIC lSdl. Ho ulO Was Keen
witted Irishman and he thought the
situation over and called on both fac
lions. Look here boys he said in
substance, you all wan to come to the
ball and you can't do it with them scatter
guns hanging to you. If you happened
to kick one off Walking you might mass
acre the whole orchestra. and they're
the only musicians in the town. So
why not let all hands agree to unload
until further nOtice-guns,
pistols. knives and knuckles-and just
urn in and have good time? I'll
axe care of the hard ware and give each
elbow a check. This interesting pro
position was favofably received; and
rfter considerable quibbling about de-
ails an agreement was drawn mp and
Everybody pulled off has weapons. There
vas Il great sigh of relief, and the ball
vas the biggest success on record. The
ruth is Tombstone was sick OF war, and
o the best of my recollection the gene
al disarmament continued for five or
tx months. 1t was broken by q atypical
treet duel, and then things gotszwild
nd wooly. again. 1t Is. certainly
urious unwrtttel" page of frontier his

The traveller. tourist or business man
is wise when he selects the Rio Grande
Western Railway Great Salt Lake
Route for his route to the East. It is
the only trans-continental line passing
directly through Salt Lake City, and in
addition to the glimpse it affords of
the Temple City, the Great Salt Lake
and the picturesque Salt Lake and Utah
Valleys, it offers the choice of three
distinct routes through the mountains
and the most magnificent scenery IN
the world. Double daily train service
and through Pullman and Tourist
sleeping cars between Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Denver and Chicago
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, of
each week, Pullman Tourist cars are
run from Los Angeles to Boston via
Chicago without change.

Making a Good Record.

Miss Irene Douglas and Miss
McFall, of st. Margarets school at
BOISE, carried away all the honors
of the school for October. Miss
Irene's averages were above 95 per
cent. This is a great record for
the young lady and her many Mont
pelier friends will be glad to learn
of her success. She has only been
in the school one month. She
particularly excelled in music, and,
considering the high standing of
the school in this branch, her rating
is all the more fattering.

And Three Men Who Put Out to Sea-
When she slespily said, as she closed her blue
eyes,
"Page, shat would you take Tor met"
And answered, "A dollar dear little heart
And she slept, baby weary With play,
But I held her warm in NJ love strong arms,
And 20 ,ked her and rocked away.
On, the dollar meant eli the world to ne
The land aid the sea and the sky,

All the cities, with streets End palaces,
With their people and EtCrsE o. art,

And waksn'd with lips saEing close in my ear.
