Make Deepest Holes Ever Bored into
 the Earth.
 Through diamond drills two of the deepest holes ever bored into the earth were made. One at Parnischowitz. in Silesia, attained a depth of 6,573 leet, and appai ently this hole was Iriiled for merely scientific purposes. The second hole was drilled near Jo- hannesburg, South Africa, and at a -epth of 4.s75 feet drilling stopped, as he company making the experiment lid it to discover if gold ore existed It that great depth. Instances are numerous where the ordinary well irilling outfit attained considerable lepth. The two deepest holes drill. ed by this device were at West Eliza oets, Pa. and the other in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. When opera ions ceased the well had been sunk o57O feet. The second well reached i,61S feet-Mlning World.

PRICE OF COPPER.
Rise in Prices Seems to Be a Foroore
 Conclusion.


 Conclusion.
 That copper is scheduled for a rise Tn price seems to be a foregone con clnsion. The combined exports and consumption is now in excess of pro duction by 23,700 tons, with every good reason for belief that the foreign demand will continue throughout the year.
 Copper exports have averaged about z6,0O0 tons monthly, while the home consumption is about 17,OGO tons monthly. and the production is only 1000 tons monthly-12, ,000 ,cus less than the demand. Thus the stock oi copper has been and Is being con stanuystantiy diminished. The pro duction, instead of increasing, has actually decreased, for one year ago the hgures showed a total production of 21,000 tons monthly, while now we are producing 4,000 tons less than was he case twelve months back. An6 what is more to the point. there seems 10 be no immediate prospect oi an increased output. All this being rue, it would seem to be the mosl natural thing for the price of copper 10 advance, as the stock is depleted, and 1t is not cut of place to predict i5-cent copper. and possibly higher prices. This will enable properties not now operating to start up. It will require, in the opinion of the best informed, the production of exactly l2,0OO tons more copper monthly to hold the price down to the present fig ures- It not being possible to obtain the Increased output, it is apparent that prices will rise steadily for a time at east.-Ores and Metals.

fits Poor Economy
 TO DISPENSE
 With an Assayer
cUccES3FUL MINES, GREAT AND SMALL. ALI RELY ON THE
 SERVICES OF CHEMIST.
Notable Example of Loss Involved
 in Not Obtaining Services of Assay N-Csse Referred to Is Only One Of Many-Deserves Careful Reading.

The man who knows his ore so well Chat he can dispense with the services Of an asssyer, usually has a record of a couple of abandoned mines in his Eake, says Ores and Metals. Prob ably the poorest economy that can be practiced in mining is to divorce actual operations from the aid of the chemist and assayer. The success ful mines, great and small. the prop critics that have been opened for years, all rely upon the chemist and assayer. That he is indispensable Snd. that to go without him is ex- travaSance of the most fragrant char ecter, has been proved time and again.
 One of the most remarkable in stances of the loss involved by not ob- taining the servioes>Of an assayer is Illustrated in a case which ocurred not far from Denver only a few years back. The company operating the Claim opened large body of very rich Ore, continuing in it for a couple oi fears and achieving success more through lucky blunde:ing than intelli- Gent operation. The grade of the ore declining, the management of the com i2ny being narrow, it was sought to turtail expenses by dispensing en- tire.y with the services Of the assay CT, because" as the manager of the Company explained, Il know what will run ana what will not" This plan ~as indorssd by the company and the arrangement highly praised for the
 economy' practiced. The grade oi
 the ore continued to fall: the com rany went into debt, and finally

 ment that it was worked out. Later
 It was leased, the lessee advancing payment fer the privilege, the compa-
 ny chIckling at it's good luck ana the
 other fellows cupidity. Within three
 weeks after taking over the lease the
 new operators were sending cut 1000
 tons Q month, and removed nearly S3.-
 o00,000 in two years time, the Q
 having actually been opened by the
 Company in its operations. The Character Of the ore had changed al
 the time tEe services of the assayer were dispensed with, and in following what he supposed to be the ore, the manager had taken the ore itself for the hanging wall. In this case the ~cconOmy' of dispensing with the ser vices Of the assayer cost the company 2 trifIe over s1,400,GOO, which was fhe amount of profit the les5ees deriv- Cd from the operation of the lease.
 The case referred to is only enc of {. many that might be recited within the | experience of the writer, though not | Always with the result that the penal i C has been SC great. It simply illus ! Gates the folly of pennywise methods. 1 A man is entitled to know the extent ! and value of his holdings, but he can ! dot do that unless he will adopt the l kneans within his command.
 In the case of mining the chemist | and as5ayer is the one person of all 1 &ho cannot possibly be dispensed 1 with and the mine remain in success fal and economical operation.

POPULAR CHAGRIN
 FINDS EXPRESSION
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED DIRECT CHANCELLOR VON BUELOW TO PROVIDE FOR GUARANTEEING FREE TRADE WITH MOROCCO.

Berlin, May 9s.-The popular chagrin ing found expression at the annual meet ing today of the colonial Society at Stet- tin. Count Von Pfeil and others pre- sented resolutions addressed to Chancel- Tor Von Buelow asking the German gov ernment to take steps to provide for the guaranteeing of free trade to the fullest extent in Moroccan ports during the ex istence of the understanding The reso- lution emphatically called attention to the necessity for protecting the political and business interests or the Germans settled there and asserted that if the status quo is charged to the advantage Of France Germany must demand com- pensation in Morocco fully equal to Frances advantage and corresponding to the magnitude of her business interests in that land to the necessity of her fleet having over seas points of support and to the fact that it is necessary for the population to have the right in which to extend itself.
 r coun, Won Pfeil in supporting the reso- lutions said it vas a national misfortune that 5000 German emigrants yearly still seek the shores of the United States when there is a large territory right at Germanys doors the acquisition of which would not cause any difficulties worth mentioning. The resolutions were adopted by large majority.
 The colonial society also adopted res olution favoring the more rapid building of naval vessels than served for by the fleet law.

CampHardee History Papers Hunters Raid tb. Battle of MonOcscy On to wssbinOtoo
BY CAPT. JOHN A. WALKER.

When the news of General Hunter raid through northern Virginia reached General Lee. he ordered General Early to hasten to meet Hunter and his van dals In Geenral Early's command were four divisions commanded respecHnliy by Generals Gordon, Rhodes, Brecken- ride and Ramseur These divisions were made into corps which were not mueh larger than were some regiments at the beginning of hostlltes.
 The bugle call to arms was not new sound to our troops; they fell to 1t as readily, as eagerly, as when months be- fore they had impatiently rushed to the front The. difficulty in securing trans portation only hurried the preparations Freight and passenger cars were pressed into service. As fast as one line of cars proceeded with it's burden, another was literally packed All available space was utilized From every window could be seen the grey coat of soldier. Upon the platform men were crowded until there was not an inch of space and still there were troops waiting for transportation facilities Men waved their caps in fare well to those left behind and the rebel yell of the stroops echoed through the valleys. The men unable to secure trans portation quickly fell in line and the march to Iynehburg was begun, the re- turning cars picking up fragments of the army.
 Troops Reach Lynchburg.
 By rapid marching General Early with his several crops reached Lynchburg, and prevented an attack on the beautiful Hill City. General Hunter retreated and was followed by General Early in hot pnr- suit. In the failure to overtake Hunter, the Confederate forces continued their march down the Shenandoah valley, un- til reaching Washington.
 During this short march of Early to the capital many incidents occurred that will probably never be touched upon by historians but they seemed to us as very vital at that time. l recall an occasion that made me feel very proud and that now after the lapse of years, with the memory of a worn army fills me with a desire to carry out again q command given me as l stood inside tented door way-the Confederate flag fiuttering just outside.
 General Early made request of the eommissaries 10 go in advance of the army as Moses of old sent spies to search out the land of Canaan. The problem of feeding the army was growing more ser ions every day. No officer was ignorant of the peril attending the missions of those who risked capture and even death in their efferots to get supplies for the army
 I was on the staff of General Gordon. and when General Earlyis request became known. General Gordon sent for me.

Army crumbled to Pieces.


 Acting upon my own responsibility I ordered my men to move all army sup plies across a small stream in the rear. The step was not taken too soon. In less than an hour the Confederate forces were completely disorganized. They fled pell- mell, needless of everything in the wild frenzy of the moment. A young color bearer falling in the wild disorder that prevailed, 1 caught up the flag and way ing it, begged the men about me to rally. But through the swiftly gathering dark ness the grey coats of our troops were hardly discernable, for our army had orumbled to pieces
 recall a remark made by the brave General Evans, "I can fight them in the front" he exclaimed, "but when the enemy attacks both the front and rear a retreat becomes necessary"
 Two years ago, while on a short visit to New York 1 accidentally met Colonel Smith who is in charge of the Homes for federal Soldiers. Quite naturally we dropped into war "reminiscences over our cigars.

At the fork of the roads we separated and as I recalled to Colonel Smith my surprise at not being made prisoner, he grasped my hand and exclaimed that he was one of the men who had ridden up the pike

 Captain Walker, said General Cor don, will you undertake this hazardous mission?"
 Yes, general" l replied T only await the orders of General Early"
 General Gordon immediately sent his adJutant general to General Early, who, upon receiving this information, com manded to his headquarters
 Why do you wait for an order from me- asked General Early
 Because, General" 1 replied, q expect to be captured, and If l should become prisoner, these orders from you would at once indicate my mission"
 T hesitate to give the order" said Gen eral Early. T hesitate" he replied, be cause of the hazardous undertaking" At daybreak l was in my saddle, and bore with me an official order
 For two days l continued my journey. through a wild and beautiful country. and late in the afternoon of the second. l came within sight of battle field where Col. J. S.

She informed mo that she gave eight gallons of milk, and cost $500 When reaching camp told my mess mate about it, he begged me never to repeat it, as no one would believe it.
