of the legislature been set apart
for the double purpose of honor.
ing the memory Of Mr. Davis
and holding memorial services at
the graves of the Confederate
dead who sleep in the bosom of
their mother state. It was emin-
entity fitting that the Legislature
should change decoration dav
from April to the day on which
jefferson Davis was born for his
was a great, a pure and lofty
Character that will live for ever
in the history of his country and
IN the hearts of the people for
whom he suffered with sublime
dignity and patience for nearly
quarter of a century the foulest
vituperation and calumny These
cruel attacks he accepted as the
incidents of defeat, but through
1T all the superb gentleman, the
great chieftain of the Lost Cause,
bore him self so proudly and SO
gently that he bound the people
of the South to him as with hooks
of steel. However lofty and elo-
quent the tribute may be, it is
impossible to do justice to the
character Of this great Southern
soldier, statesman and patriot.
On the occasion of the decora-
ton of the graves of the Confed-
crate dead in Hollywood Gene
5ery at Richmond the other day
General Robert White, the orator
IF the day, speaking of Mr.. Davis
said:
To give in detail the history

laces, in war and in peace, be-
ore he laid down the robe of
enator to become the first and
nd only President of the Con-
ederacy. With that Confedera-
y he fell. All hope faded in the
of defeat. In the prison
nd in irons he suffered for his
eople. BroughtOfrom Fortress

err guard, he, like a sheep be-
IRE the shearer, was dumb. AS

irginian, looking from a high
indow upon the scene in shrill
I'd appealing notes, cried out:

On of that lofty hero, who had

Truer words were never spok-
for after Mr. Davis had been

. HOW ABOUT TIT

It is an old tale and of, CT told that Risbee needs a Mines exchange or Board of Trade, but the chances of one being es ablished here seem -s remote as ever Why is this? It would seem to be true that all mining men In the community are in favor of an institution of this kind and many Of the Bisbee merchants have ex- pressed a desire to see the consum- nation of this project. The fall season and the period during which great mining activity is to be expected is drawing near. and it seems es if some move in the matter should be made
 The advanr ages of such an institu- ton in the community have often been enumerated and pretty fully discussed and public orinicn seems ta be strongly in favor of its being es- tablished The Review will undertake to sugges that a public meeting be called to take place within two weeks. and at which the matter may be freely discussed and decisions acted upon. If this meeting be decided upon, the Review will endeavor to secure from mining associa'io ions elsewhere opin- ions and suggestions as to the most desirable methods of procedure.

IN MICHIGAN.

The Calumet and Hecla, the famous mine of Michigan Copper camp, after operating for over over forty years on one cepglomerate lcde. and from which they were able to pay ever ESQ., 900 900 ip dividends. now propose 10 supplement their other workings by opecipg shafts on a amygaloii vein known as the Kearsarge lode and which has proven to be very rich at points both north and south of the big mines ground A shaft will be sunk about 1900 feet sou of "A" shaft of the Centennial mine-the ad- joining property.
 The Calumet and Hecla carries the outcrop of the Kearsaree Amygdaloid for a considerable distance, and there Is room for several shafts. The mines already opened on this fCrma'ion are chipping 4,500 tens of rock day. and the c. and H. people have tested the vein at two different points under ground by means of drifts run from their old workings.
 This enlargement of the workings of the Calume and Hecla will no kAoubt mean a great deal for the town U Calumet, which is practically lo- cated on the company's ground.

aishEE coNsoLIpAIEp.

One mile southwest of the Copper Glance shaft the above named compa- ny is paving the way for an exten- sive amount Of development work The parties interested in this group of twenty-fve claims near the Mexi- can line are Douglas and Bisbee peo- pie.
 Operating win a hand hcist a depth Of one hundred feet has been reached and as the shaft had been sunk single compartment style it is now being upraised so as to make it a two compartment affair.
 A two CT three foot of ledge of gouge matter was met with some time before the present depth was reached and this has shown consid- erable green copper stains and a small quantity cf ore. It was de cided tha. the indications here ob- served are sufficient to warrant a hoist and other machinery and to that end an cutfit has been ordeYsd from Denver and the wagon road up to the shaft sie e is being much i'm proved. A rev rooming house is be ing built and other preparation made for the heavier work which will soon be under way.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-08-30

eoially is this true as regards the Calumet & B.sbee which has passed
 he TOO mark. At the lower end of the district the Copper Glance and the Marquette are very confident uf the ultimate success Of their opera ticns The Marquette has been in low grade ore for the past twenty feet carrying from two to three per cent copper and some gold. Tn' Glance with its new equipment of ma chinery is working steadily with three shifts employed and the pumps hand ling the water nicely.
 Letters received from the east state that number of mining men are ex- pected in the district this September Some coming to investigate their al ready extensive holdings and others looking for further investments September and October now give promise of being banner months ir he history of the district.
 THE COPPER SHARE MARKET. The coppers listed on the Boston Stock E&charse have al last been al vorced from Amalgamated. and have shown an ability to both advance and decline regardless of the movements of their former leader. Copper
 Range has begun to present it's claims to leadership of the local ma, ket, and Boston copper shares. It looks like a revolution of sentiment-as though it were again 10 be possible tO have i activity and life in the local market even when Amalgamated chose to Dc ! dull
 The one fact that stood out nos | conspicuously while the recent sharT advance was under way was the one
 that extremely few coppers were of
 tered for sale al the higher range ot ! prices. This proves the often re
 peated contention that coppers are firmly and closely held. and
 that they are not in the hands of peo | pie who are simply waiting for ar | opportunity 10 sell them on the first rally. The movement demonstrated to me that the public is watching the coppers, that there a-e' many, who art
 !eady to buy and that they will buy ' heavily in the immediate future un
 less they are discouraged from doinf so. The outlook for the copper pro ducing industry is certainly very
 promising, and there are a number oi stocks on the Est that are ex,remel,
 attractive purchases at current prices
 Such a combination is bound to mak.

 The province of British Columbia, in Canada, is taking steps to establish tn connection with the other executive ozices Of the commonwealth, de pGrtmenS of mines, thereby to substantially assist the p-ogress be ing made by those who are active in the province
 The officials have already engaeei an eapert eeologist. mineralogist, a chemist and a metallurgist.
 Tn this country and in Mexico similar institu ion is contemplated and would doubtless meet with the hearty approval Of mining men gen erally.
