Figures on the Production of Copper fol

Boston, July 24.-The apparent con-
sumption of copper in the United King
dom for the six months ended June 30
as compiled by the New York Metal
exchange, was %, 495 tons. against 35,40G
tons in 1898. The stock June 80 at Lon
don, Liverpool and Swansea was 2O,47C
tons, against 9,460 tons January l, and
21.S90 June 80, 1898.
The New York Metal exchange gives
it's estimate CT the output, exportat ton
and domestic consumption of copper
by the United States for six months of
1899 in long tons, to wit:

1t points out that the domestic pro-

whole year of 1898 by 900 tons. OF The
13,s0S tons imported, about 100 tons

Australian and Japanese origin. Ex-
ports to Europe show decrease Of 49,
Gil tons from 1898 and of 4,1S0 tons if
compared with the last six months If
1898. The contents o. sulpnate exported
show an increase of $40 tons compared
with 1898. Deliveries for home con-
sumption were extremely heavy during

of 1898 the increase shows IL O10 tons.
The surplus in supplies Cvey deliver les
amounts to 12,4s2 tons, he greater part

The doubtful factor in the above cal

of measuring. Perhaps the foregorg
estimates are as Sood as any. There
are no statistics Of visible supply kept

Alderman Mcintyre of Walkerville

for two seasons and there is enough ore
on the dump to warrant further de-
velopment. 1t is proposed to ship ore
to Butte at an early date Mr.. McIn-

LEVEL AND SLOPE.

The Carson, Nevada, mint has been
reduced TO an assay office. For ten
years past ii has required constant
struggle on the part of the Nevada
congressional delegation to prevent this
actlon. The cost of coinage was higher
there than in the other minis. partly
because of its location and partly be
cause of its small size. Besides, the
mint bureau always claimed that bull
Ion cost more there than al the other
mlnts. 1T is not easy to see why this
should have been So unless the officials
included the cost of shipping the coin
to points where it was wanted How
ever that may be, the closing of this
mint is another evidence that the glory
of the Comstock has departed.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
