JONES" TOO MUCH FOR THE ia
GALS.

Major Samuel B. Jones, Of the regular
army, is now uuartermaster at Boston.
He served with distinction until recently
in the Philippines.
A curious local custom in Luzon au-
thorizes a native to take and use a for
eign name, generally Spanish. in addi-
ton to his own Tagal p~atronymic. This
accounts for the multitude of such SON.
orous names as "Agramonte," "Uriarte"
and ~"Polobieja."
The major had won the gratitude Of a
native, who announced his determine
ton to adopt the American family name
of Jones before it occurred to him that
there is no equivalent for."J" in either
Spanish or Tagal. He had it written
out for him by a soldier, to whom he
gave a box of cigars for the trouble, and
then departed from the camp. Some
time afterward the native came into
camp and was addressed by his new
name. He looked worried, and called
his interlocutor aside and explained to
him his trouble
Please don't call me by hat name,'
he said, plaintively. you see, I took
that written name nome to my village
and showed it to my relatives. They
We're much pleased. but when they tried
to read it no two pronounced 1t alike.
Rather than lave trouble in the family
I am looking for a brave American
whose name is comprehensive"

lowing as the result of his observations:
The New Year mine is working a force

Gently purchased from ]. L.. Harmon is
completed and in a few days the mill will
be running at its full capacity. An ore
drier has been sent for and when in
place will make the New Year a COM
plete success. The mill has a capacity of
about 70 tons daily. George H. Purmort,
the superintendent, has great confidence
in the future of the property, as a large
amount Of ore is in sight.
The Spotted Horse management is re-
pairing the mill and getting ready for a
long run. Arthur Bird, the manager,
thinks he will make a success and will
sopn have a large force of men at work.
s. E. Suffer is running a tunnel to drain
his coa milne low down: the coal is of a
good quality, and when the mine is prop
erly drained it will be a good property.
Superintendent Purmort and his sur
veyor Of the New Year, were at the
Whisky gulch claims Sunday. They re-
port the property looking better than
they expected. An additional force is to
be put on soon for the development of the
property and a mill will be built shortly.

THE P MARKET.

The feature Of the coppet market Is
that the leading lake producer OF copper
Is said to be ready for business at l6c.
1t cannot be stated definitely at present
to what extent buyers have awaited
themselves of the opportunity to replen-
ish supplies, but consumers proceed eau
tiously as prices have peraistentlv gone
against them for several months past.
The market closed fairly steady at 16@
16Ac for lake, but the big manufacturers
will not hastily place orders except at
inside figures, and anything above 1e4
is not considered. =
The export outflow of about $4,000 tons
OF copper since Jan. /. is the safety valve
to the home market. but IL should be re.
me1nbered that against these shipments
there have been about 8, 100 tons Of cop
per imported this month.
1t Is also stated the previous Calumet
sale OF copper at lie included a guaran-
tee of the price which would entitle buv.
ers to a rebate on their old contracts
should new purchases go through at Ice.
