A LARGE TRADE

is in prospect for the merchants of
Mineral Point during the coming hol-
iday season. The advertising col
umns of The Democrat would indicate
that dealers have anticipated the
wants of holiday purchasers. The
buying of presents has already com
menced and customers find large and
varied stocks from which to make their
selections. During the next two weeks
many people will doubtless come from
distant points to do their trading here.

Better Demand for Copper Expected

Representives of large consuming interests here in Boston have recently admitted that their supplies of copper are smaller at the present time than they have been in six months past and by reason of this fact the larger pro ducers are anticipating an early and sudden demand for the red metal

of taking in the Harvard Yale foot ball game, State street veterans sim ply smile at this explanation and sig nificantly remark that football games have somehow suddenly assumed an unusual attraction for copper mag mates. But whatever be the real pur- pose of the eas tern trip of these gen tlemen, it certainly is "in the air" that compromise of some sort in connection with the bitter warfare is close at hand. And it is this feeling, more than anything else, that is serV' ing to buoy up the dropping spirits of long waiting copper shareholders who have not only seen paper profits drop out of sight bat who have been watch ing, with no small degree of concern, their investments likewise being slow ly diminished There arc those in Boston copper circles wLo assert with much pOsitiveueSS that the ad juStment of all these troubles will certainly be reached before the end of the current year, and that with it's announcement there will come the broadeSt and most buoyant market that the copper shares have known since the days of the famous boom.
 Lawson's Predictions as to Copper
 Range
 The week, though broken one by reason of the Thanksgiving holiday, brought at the end very decided i'm provement Tn the copper share Situa- tion. Mir. Lawson put out two or three of his characteristic bulletins in which he intimated that the shorts in Copper Range would be given a very bad squeezing and also suggested the possibility of the liyeleSt sort of climb ing iu this and several other issues Whether his hints were based upon actual knowledge or not, Copper Range certainly took on new life and developed, after sharp reaction, a strength such as it has not shown in d long time past More than this, the demand for the stock came very large ly from people who have not been in the market for some time past and they bought it very freely. Indeed, ou the day before and the day follow ing Thanksgiving. predictions that the stock had dnally reached hard. pan basis aud that it was not likely to see 40 again were very plentiful.
 In connection with Copper Range, President Paine, who returned from the Lake few days ago is talking more optimistically than ever. He says that the company's surplus will aggregate more than Sl,O00, ,000 cash before the first of January, and he in- inmates very plainly that a dividend distribution is likely to come early in the new year. Indeed, there is good reason for believing that distribution will be declared and paid by or before February l, 1904, although Mir. Paine will not openly admit this. He re- ports the situation at the Baltic and Champion mines as most satisfactory and asserts that the November pro. duct of all the Copper Range proper ties will be considerably ahead of that of recent months. The company 8 copper has been all sold up to Novem- Der at very profitable price and he is expecting an improvement in the metal market in the near future pro- vided the general business situation does not take turn for the worse.

OsceoIa's Coming Dividend


 Gossip about the Oiceola divide d was an interesting theme for the traders during much of the week. It is now asserted by the Sears Building people themselves that distribution of at least sl and probably $l 50 per share will be declared early in the coming month and made payable about January l. Tamarack share holders are also expecting something of distribution at the same time al tn )ugh Mr. Wgelow has recently told his friends that this is not by any means assured. The Tam track Situd tiOn is by no means, according to utli- cial authorities here in Boston, as satisfactory as that of Osceola. The cost of treating the rock is consider ably more and the results obtained are less profitable and make the prop osi tiOn, as a whole, somewhat more doubtful than OsceOla.
 The announcement of the first divi- dend on Calumet X Arizona stock $l. 50 regular and 50 cents extra-was received in Boston with much satisfaC. tion. The fact that the dividend was designated as quarterly" was counted as a most satisfactory indica- tion regarding the expectations of the management as to the future.
 Injunction Can Only Delay Old De-
 minIon Merger.
 Old Dominion affairs developed very little that was new during the week. Deposits of stock under the merger plan have continued to come in stead fly but somewhat slower than in the recent past. Up to the present time, deposits aggregate close to l28, 900 shares and by Monday the date now fixed as the limit for receiving deposits 8 it is anticipated that the aggregate amount will be something above l3O, ,000 shares. The Fitzgerald opposition is still threatening injunctions but the management of the company is not at all disturbed thereby, believing, as it does, that anything in the shape of legal opposition will only serve to de- lay the cOnsummatiOn of the proiuct rather than to prevent it.
 Some little fresh attention has been given to Mass by reason of the recen favorable returns received from the property and holders of the stock are

EDlS0N'S PATENTS.
Famous Inventor Has Almost
Eight Hundred.

The clerks of the patent office
began several years ago to keep a
systematic account Of the patents
issued TO Thomas A Edison. They
have his various inventions tabu-
lated and ihdexed, 80 that they can
put their hands on each different
idea he has protected by patent
from the beginning of his marve-
lous career of invention. When a
pending claim is allowed, as it is
no doubt will be this month, Mr..
Edison will have received 79l pa.
tents.
He is not adding to the list as
many ideas nowadays as he did
some years ago Up to 1895 he
had taken I'll patents. Since then
he hsd added to thel from three
to twenty patents each year. Last
year he took out 10. This year so
far, he has received six. In ordi.

IN SELF DEFENCE
4 Road 0vsrsssr Takes Issue
With the County Officials.

Mr. EDITOR; IL you will allow
me small space in your valuable
columns would like to say just Q
few words in self.dsfsnce.
l notice in your issue IF two
weeks ago a card from Mr.. Hend.
erson, our county attorney, mott
tying road supervisors that the
roads ar" in bad condition, and
warns them Of the fact that he will
in few days prosecute them to
the full extent of the law il they
do not put their roads in good con
dition.
As the old saying is, if you step
on a pigs tail it will squeal, so |
am now ready to squsal.
am Wiling TO admit the road
over which l am supervisor is in
bad, very bad, condition, and that
q great many complaints have
been and are still being made
about its present condition, from
the fact the culbert known as the
Dan Green culbert, is dangerous
to cross on, and a. there is a pick
ct fence on one side and a ditch
that is impossible on the other,
this forces the publicto cross this
culbert.
1 wish to call the attention of
our intelligent county attorney to
the fact that l went to our county
Judge in person, some time in Jan
uary last, and reported the condi.
ton of this oulbert to him, and
told himtbat complaints were be.
Ing made to me about this CROSS
ing, and asked him to furnish me
with material to build h new one,
or to repair the old one, and his
answer was: Il WON'T FURNISH
NOTHING" l then asked him what
l should do, as l didn't feel dispo.
sod to furnish lumber myself, and
didn't think the county should
hold me responsible for any acct.
dent that might occur, and he said
lust let the people so around, or
stay at home, as they please.
Now l don't wish to enter into
controversy with Mr.. Henderson,
or any one else. but just simply
with this article to show TO the
public that | have tried to do NY
duty, and to clear myself Of the
many complaints that are being
made to me about this crossing
ana In conclusion will say to the
authorities, l will work INV
road in few days, but as to the
about which l speak, il
shall still remain in its dsplorable
until the county furn. |
ishss material to build a new one
or to repair the old one, as / ha 70
now furnished all the Ia IN Der | feel
able TO furnish.
Hoping Mr. Henderson will read |
up on this section of law, if not
already posted, and advise me
what to do in this case, and asking
him not to be too hasty in his pro
sscutions, remembering there is
always two sides to every quss.
ton, and a cause for each effect. | |
remain,
Yours for good roads,
II. A. RANKIN.
