 There has been an exodus of miners oCcasioned by the closing down of the Old Dominion. Many who did not get their time are awaiting developments, hoping for an early resumption by the company. A few men have been put to work in and about the mine.
 Nothing new has transpired during the week in relation to old Dominion, although it is rumored from a railroad source that an agreement on freight rates had been, or was about to De, reached between the railroads and the copper company.

made for q railroad from the mines to Port Acapulco. Machinery for smell ters and Cocverters has been ordered and Mr. Mitchell will leave Los An geles for the property on the 24th inst
 To give our readers some idea of the magnitude of this property we make d few extracts from a letter written by the secretary of the company:
 ''The amount of copper ore now exposed is without parallel on this continent, if in the world, and, without further development, will be Of enor- nous value and ultimate profit to the company. Some idea of deposit may be had by reference to the report of George Mitchell, president. He esti- mates that 30,000 OOO tons of six per cent ore is in sight. With a plant of 2,0O0 tons capacity per diem, it would take forty-two years to exhaust the ore now exposed, and, estimating the copper contents at F cents per pound, it's value would be $432, 900, 900. Besides the enor- nous deposits of copper ore now in sight, taken from mining standpoint. every indication shows that there is yet as large, if not a larger body of ore yet uneXplored.
 
 question for many years to come will be that of economical extraction and production.
 Pine and oak timber, both for com mcrciGl and mining purposes, is grow ing ln abundance on the company's lano, while facilities for water trans pOrtation to all parts of the world will be unsurpassed"
 Mir. Mitchell, the president, is an eminently successful mining expert and metallurgist, based upon thorough pre- liminary training in Swansea, Wales, and years of practical experience as superintendent and general manager in connection with some of the greatest properties in the world, namely: The Boston and Montana, the United Verde and the Greene Consolidated Copper company, and enjoys an international reputation. He has already expended about $50 900 for titles, machinery, labor, etc, and has at this time men and machinery in transit to the mines.

 The Calumet and Arizona Copper company at Douglas has decided to double the capacity of it's copper smel- ter. It has let the contract for sec ond 250-ton smelteT to the Allis-Cham- bers company t. be ready in February. This will give the company 800 tons capacity daily. The first stack will be in operation in October.

COPPER SUPPLY IS SMALL.

The figures of Prof. A. F. LedouX, which are accepted as thoroughly re- liable by the best posted men in the trade, show that there is only a trifle mere than two months copper supply in the world-possibly not quite so much. This is no more than is needed to provide for ordinary trade contin- gencies. Production gained on con- sumption last year because the price of copper was too high. Consumption has overtaken production this year be- cause the metal has been selling very cheaply. The fair price of copper-the mean at which production and con sumption will find a balance-is some where between F cents and r cents 2 pound. An advance of l to ? cents d pound will not largely curtail cOnsump- ton. while it will permit all the mines really having right to live to work at d profit while paying good wages New York Sun

FOR many years the peanut boy Oh
train butcher" as he was otter
called, peddled his wares on the Bur.
lington passenger trains. He had the
reputation Of possessing all the SUBJ
lime nerve that belong to his class
His business was to sell fruit, candy
chewing gum, cigars. books, newspa-
pers and magazines. 1t was his prac-
tice to go from car to car. and dump
his wares into the lap of unwilling
passengers and follow ii up later on
by making strong talk to those that
did not seem inclined to buy. His stun
was sold for three or four prices and
people were sometimes bored to the
point of desperation. by his dogged
persistency in trying to force them to
purchase his merchandise.
The peanut boy worked on the per-
centage system and was allowed about
twenty per cent of the gross sales.
was inclined to be dishonest to take
the advantage of person and drive
a sharp bargain. To the credit Of the
boys, it may be truthfully said that
most of them were honest in their
dealings. but some of them were not.
and stories illustrating this trait of
character have been current gossip for
years. One Of these vendors, who ran
out of Lincoln few years ago. is
said to have had the gall to palm of
a banana stock on an innocent old far
mer for 81, claiming that If he would
take it home and plant it, he would
have bananas raised from his own
farm.
The peanut boy, perhaps. was not
dishonest by nature; If he sometimes

fall The size of his income depended
upon the amount Of his sales, and this
fact often caused him to resort to
questionable methods to dispose of his
stuff. Most of the train butchers" who
ran on the main lines made big money.
but those on the branches earned less
because the picking was not so good.
The large number of through passen-
gers on the former runs created a
greater demand for the stuff that was
sold. but travellers who were only go
ing short distance usually did not
buy so much. Some of the smart
statesmen among the boys are said to
have made as high as 800 a month.
but a fair average would perhaps be
in the neiphhorhood of s6O
Some of the peanut boys were not
boys at all. but on the contrary old
married men with families. Their ages
ranged from the beardless youth of
eighteen to that of man of forty odd.
But at last a day arrived when the
railroad news agent, for this was his
correct title, was doomed to pass from
the scene of his triumphs. This state
of affairs was brought about by the
ultimatum of a great corporation. The
contract that had been in force be-
tween the Burlington road and the
Burlington News company for some
time back expired and the railroad re-
fused to enter into a new one. The
officials of the Burlington had re-
ceived complaints from it's patrons
from time to time concerning the bad
treatment they received from these
travelling vendors, the extortionate
charges made for their wares and the
disagreeable experience of being bored
to the limit of human endurance. The
officials after mature deliberation de-
cided to make a clean sweep of the
