1t can't help being good. The
manager of the Opera House gives
the following reasons why My
Friend From Arkansas" should be
considered a strong attraction. First
it carries every piece Of scenery that
is required to produce the play, and
it is said to be the finest that can
be gotten out. Secondly it has a
superior and costly line of printing
showing that the attraction is back
ed by money and good taste.
Thirdly the company is composed
cf people that have been connected
with the very best New York thea
tres, and last, but not least, every
press notice and every manager
speaks of it in the highest terms.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-03-19

Sir Thomas Upton on Tuesday
launched a new boat with which he
hopes to lift the American cup.
The christening was done by Lady
Shaftesburg, who broke the bottle
saying, Il christen you Shamrock,
may God bless you and may you
bring back the cup" Sir Thomas
is certainly p'ucky, In spite OF his
previous unsuccessful attempts to
lower the American colors, he is not
in the least dismayed, and his hopes
are as high as ever. If there is
anything in the old saying of keep
ing everlastingly at it, Sir Thomas
deserves to win this time.

ZINC OUTPUT FAR SHORT
OF THE HEAVY DEMAND.
Reserve Ore in the Joplin District
Dwindlcs to Less Than Three
Thousand Tons
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

flBi Bl.I' StfSIiaI%
Joplin, Mo-, July l9.-Beginning this year
with reserve stock of 12.DOO tons of zinc
ore the purchasing agents of the various
smeters each succeeding week have en-
croached upon this reserve until to-day
there is probably less than 5000 tons re-
naming.
This indicates that the output has been
900 tons less than the shipments SO far this
year. Added to this the other fact that the
shipments are 1855 tons less than for the
same period of last year, II Is seen that the
output is really over 25.0O0 tons less than
last year. Many things have conspired to
cause this great decrease. beginning with
the coal famine. followed BY the worst
floods for eighteen years.
During the week the demand for zinc has
beer exceptionally large. and, while the, out
lut reached about 5000 tons, the shipments
aggregated 5.53T tons. The situation is be-
coming almost as acute as 4 year ago when
the reserve stock was lowered to about 2OO)
tens. and producers are looking for an ad-
vance in the price of zinc to come as it did
year ago. when il sold at Si2 ton.
The manipulation of the market the last
week would indicate that some of the
s'nelters were laying by a supply of ore IN
advance Of a possible raise to be in q DO
sition to compel those having short stocks
to bid up for a supply before the end of
this month While the output Is unquestion-
apiy increasing, II Is yet unequal to the
demand, and it IS now quite apparent that
it will not equal the demand for several
weeks TO come. So far this year the de-
mand has been largely regulated by a sup
ply of Western ore, but the smeiters are
using all of that they care to at present
and would use more ore of the Joplin dis
!rict If 1t were obtainable, in preference TO
the Colorado product.
Another feature that will have a strong
bearing upon the market little later vii
