pany of Grand Forks, b. c., is in the
city for a few days comforting with
j. p. Graves on matters pertaining
to the company.
He stated the outlook was never
better, copper now bringing 13 cents.
The mine at Phoenix, it is believed,
will prove to be a big money maker
in the near future.
A new 60-drill compressor has been
installed and a system of mining
without timbering is in force. The
two new furnaces that are being built
will be completed by June 1 and
the CRANKY plant will be able to
handle double it's present capacity. A
new crusher, capable of crushing a
rock the size of an ordinary writing
desk, is being built.
The output at the present time is
about 1900 tons, but with the new
improvements this will be greatly in
creased. 1t Is estimated that 5000
tons will be the total output IL
months hence.
The Great Northern is also con-
templating building a spur direct to
the mines and the means of trans
portation will be greatly increased.

TO make A FENCER
OF THE PRESIDENT

The professor referred to the fact
that the king of Italy and all the
members of the royal family, and in
deed all the rulers of Europe, were
expert with the 'rapier, and that 1t
would greatly please him to make
of the president of the United States
a swordsman who could cope with
the occupant Of any throne in Europe.
Just what impression this argument
made upon the president the pro-
fessor does not say. but Mr.. Roose-
welt did then declare that he would
be glad to take lessons Immediately
after the adjournment of congress.
Professor Pavese also told the
president that he need not be afraid
of carrying about a mark showing
that his adversary had got the bet
ter of him, as happened to him in
his singlestick bout with General

BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-Professor
Generoso Pavese is to make an ex-
pert swordsman of President Roose-
welt.
That was the decision arrived at in
the interview between the president
and the exponent of the modern Ital-
ian school of fencing at the White
House.
The president told the professor
that he had had singlestick, bayonet
and broadsword exercise and had
also used the old-time foils, but he
thought he could get better exercise
out of the rapier and the new foils.
This sentiment Professor 'Pavese
not only confirmed, but declared that
the rapier was the best possible ex
ercise for the president; that 1t would
not only exercise his muscles and fur
nish mental recreation, but would
prove refreshing to his eyes.
