It is said, figures never lie, but they can be used to fit almost any argu ment. Sometime since we published an opinion on the decline in copper stocks going to prove that copper had been boomed to abnormally high prices. Now the Boston News Bureau gives us the opposite view and makes a very good argument to the effect that the heavy decline in coppers is not justified. The News Bureau says: "Fherc are some close students of the rise and fall of copper and copper shares who maintain that many of Boston's copper shares are today sel- ling below their intrinsic worth, in view of the prevailing iirmness of the copper market at 17 cents. They point out that the entrance of the Standard Oil element into copper shares sounded the death knell of the copper boom, and that since the Amal- gamatad company came upon the scene copper shares have steadily de clined. They further urge that recent unfortunate events have taken place which, while affecting uniayorably speculative sentiment, have iii no way weakened fundamental conditions. Today l7-cent copper market means for the producing mines loo per cent profit over cost Of production. X year ago lake copper was selling around l2i and l3 cents a pound. It IS interest ing, says the News, to compare selling prices ol the local copper shares a year ago with those of today. 1t is shown that during tilc past year Calumet X Hecladeclined from SS95 toS745; Boston X Montana, from S39S to S3l0; Butte & Boston, from Sl0S tu S6j; Eamarack, from $265 to S2l2.50; old Dominion, from S53.5O to S29.25 and other copper stocks in like proportion. If the quo tation a year ago truly represented a l24-cent copper market, many of tOday's prices are very much too low, says the News. There has been no material advance in shares since the metal sold at 10 cents, but there has been big decline in them since cop per reacted from lSl to r. cents a pound. We ourselves think that among the copper stocks listed on tEe Boston market there are too many non-producers represented, and that the holders of these shares becoming weary, they have pulled the better stocks down with them. We think that, on the whole, copper shares are approaching legitimate basis and that any considerable advance would be purely speculative.

young, men and women. They have a museum, and many schools, both private and public, hospitals, and q home for aged natives, all endowed by some of the descendants of the ancient kings. The race is dying out, as all such do when mixed with white blood.
 The Chinese are the principal mer- chants. Their stores are large and full of goods of every description. There are some whites who have larger establishments, but they do not do the business. The stores and public buildings are builded of coral stone or 1 brick, very handsome, some of them. The residences are mostly of lumber, yery' beautiful most Of them. The yards are so lovely that quite an ordi- nary home looks beautiful here. The Oalui college is the pride of the island from an educational standpoint Really it is fine place and equipped with everything a university could need. The Kamehameha school founded and endowed by a Mrs. Bern ice P Bishop, la descendant of the kings is for native boys and girls and is manual labor training school. Everything is perfect in it's way. On the same grounds is the Bishop mu- scum, erected by her husband in mem. ory of his wife.

The Ortiz land grant, in New Mexico, has become more or less widely famous at different times in the history of the great southwest It was of Spanish origin, and covers the mine and pas turage sufficient for the working of the same" The title to the grant was confirmed just at the beginning of the war in 1861, for 69,00O acres. Fifteen thousand acres have since been sold to the Cerillos Coal and Iron company, reducing the holding to 54,- GOO acres. On parts of this leases were executed at different times, and several are still running probably b in all. The ortiz mine proper is still under lease, and so is the noted Cunningham hill, which New Mexicans assert contains more gold than any other deposit in the world, This won derful old piece of real estate is about 9 miles south of Santa Fe and 45 miles north of Albuquerque, and has a town of it's own in Dolores, the oldest mining camp in that part Of the country. There are men with families at Dolores whose grandfathers worked ln e placers Of the Ortiz grant when tL grandfathers were boys. Indians, s ards and Americans have labored fO, the gold on this great estate, the | nen.i0ned with improved methods fo. placer aud ledge mining.

Ladysmith, the beleagured city of the Transvaal, got it's name from the wife of General Sir Harry Smith, whose marriage was one of the TO- manceS of the Peninsular war. At that time two young British officers in a Spanish town, which had just been occupied by an English force were surprised by visit from two very beautiful Spanish girls of the better class. Their fair callers, says an exchange, begged protection in the alarming circumstances in which they had been placed by the occupation of the rOugher soldiery. Their request was, of course, gallantly granted, and in a short time one of the officers, Captain Smith, found himself desper- ately in love. In due time he married the woman whom he had protected. The marriage proved happy one.

No difference of politics could intervene to deny man occupying so an exalted a position, and who has endeared himself to the peop,e of the United States, tie respect which is his need.

The only way to view advertising is as a business proposition, a cash invest ment for publicity and profit. TT he buyer of advertising space should know just what he is getting, how many copies of the paper are printed where they go, the kind of people they go to. Knowing that. if he deems the medium of value to him he will do well to advertise in 1t; otherwise, not Business is simply the systematic sup plying of wants, that's all. If busi- ness man has good article it is busi- ness to create demand for it by proper announcement in the journal most likely to reach those to whom he looks for business, says the Mining & Scientific Press.

An Interesting Letter rom an Old
 Friend
HONOLULU, Oct. 3l.

HONOLULU, Oct. 3l. le99. A. II. HACKNEY, EsQ.:
 My DEAR JUDGE;--ThiS Is your birthday and I hope it finds you well and able to see your friends. This cannot reach you in time to be with you today, but dear, good old friend you have my love and thoughts, though an ocean divides us. Now, how do you suppose came to be down in this part of the world! Maybe Mrs. Aguirre has written you; for fear she has not I'll relate: l came with Nonie and his wife and little daughter. The wife has been in miserable health for fOme time, 50 the doctor advised sea voyage, and l came along for com pany. From here We go to Samoa Is- lands and from there we go to New Zealand and then back home.
 Now this island is beautiful to be- hold; that is, as much as have seen of it. The cocoanut they claim as the native tree but from the large size and amount of mesquite trees and brush, l should think they had claim to that honor. In the plantation dis trictS you do not see the palms, or in the mountains. These are covered with brush that we call Lantanya. It is Towering shrub and quite pretty. The palms are of every va riety. The banana seems the fruit most cultivated. These orchards are everywhere. The people say it is be- cause bananas can be raised where no other thing will grow. Every garden has to be irrigated, orchards also: This is done from artesian wells, of which there are several in and around the city.
 The islands have about 1000 inhab- itants, of which the natives are much in the minority. Every kind of peo- pie can be found here. The laborers are Chinese or Japs. The natives never work: they even hire the Chi nese to make their poi, the natives food made from a root, something like our potatoe called taro. Ths they grind after drying and make into an ''atole. The taro itself is fine eating, baked or boiled. We see very few of the pure natives; most are mes tesos. The island is 45x25 miles. It has 1 good harbors. The sugar and rice plantations are the chief source oi wealth. They gamble in sugar stocks and some make immense fortunes in { short time. There are few poor peo pie, and l have yet to meet beggar The government is republic, supposed to be part of the United States The stars and stripes float over tht judiciary building, where Presiden Dole and his cabinet preside.
