Mines are made by putting labor and means into the property itself and not into the stock and pockets of the pro- motors says the Mining & Scientific Press. Few mining properties, in- deed, which show any possibilities of becoming mines with development and which in fact justify exploita tion, disap- point the miner upon his outlay. There is today a greater demand for good, developed mines than heretofore in the history of the mining states, and larger developing projects are constantly be- ing undertaken. Brought down to a irue economic working basis mining (not speculating in mines) offers great CT returns upon the capital invested, and is upon the whole no more hazard ous than any ordinary mercantile ven. sure.

SPECULATION IN COPPER.

The strong speculation in the metals which has carried copper this week up to IS cents in New York and over G74 in London is much to be regretted, says the Mining 6 Engineering Jour nal With the improved conditions of bushes and the active demand for the metal, both here and in Europe, in electrical, ship building and other work, rise was to be expected. Until quite recently the improvement was natural and legitimate one, and the producers could derive only benefit from it. Now, however, the specula- tors have taken hold, and the intention IS said to be to force the quotations up to 20 cents, which is quite possible under present conditions. The inev- itable result will be to curtail consump- ton and to turn manufacturers to other metals wherever they can possibly be used. Moreover, there will be gen. eral opening up of old mines which have been abandoned as unprofitable and an exploitation of new ones, which will be sure to increase production to 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 a profit under ordinary con- ditions. The moderate advances justI- fled by trade conditions would have benefited our mines far more than any temporary advantage they may gain from the present wild speculation.

MAY BE A LIBRARY.
Ed. Little May Get Something More
Useful Than a Sword.

The suggestion made by some of the
friends of Lieut.. Col. E. C. Little that
fund be raised to present him with
suitable memorial in honor of his service
in the Philippines is meeting with favor
among Col. Little friends, irrespective
of party. But there is some objection
to its being a sword, inasmuch as a fund
has already been started to purchase a
sworn for Gen. Funston, and it is ar
gued that it would not be just the thing
to get Col. Little similar present. An
intimate friend of Mr.. Little says:
From what 1 know of Col. Little 1
do not think he would appreciate a
sword as much as he would something
else. He is a man of studious habits.
and I should say good library would
be about the thing for him. If it was
proposed to get him a sword it would
have too much the appearance of start
ing a rivalry between the two funds,
and I am sure that no one would wish
that Many people would like to con-
tribute to both funds. Col. Little would
not care for a sword-we might as well
give a plowshare or a pruning hook.
But he would appreciate a good library.
While we have seen Col. Little's
name mentioned very little in the dis
patches from Manila, I believe when
the regiment gets home it will be dis
covered that Col. Little played a no
small part in the battles. Everybody
who knows him knows that there is not
a more fearless man in the regiment
than he, and it is ridiculous to suppose
that he has done nothing brave over
there

ACCIDENT TO LAWYER.
Match Safe in His Pocket ExpIodes.
Resulting in Painful Burns.

Omaha, May III. T. Clark, an
Omaha lawyer, was practically blown
up today by the explosion of the con-
tents of a. safety match SAFE which he
carried in his vest pocket.
He was just turning from the crowd
ed street into his office at the Ramage
building when a loud explosion was
heard and a sheet of flame darted from
his vest pocket and extended several
feet into the air. The lawyer was
knocked down or fell from sheer fright
and the people surrounding him hastily
scattered to safe distance. Mr. Clark
was badly burned about the hands and
face, but is not internally injured.
The extraordinary accident is attri-
buted to friction igniting the chocolate
of potash tablets in the safety match
case.
The lawyer said he was attracted to
the match case several days ago be-
cause of the word Safety on it, and
he had carried it with feeling of great
security. He thought at first he had
been blown up by an Internal machine
His vest was burned away as it ignited
from the flame produced by the explo-
sion.
