JOHN DAY COAL LEAVES
LITTLE ASH WHEN BURNED

A number of residents of this place
went out to the shaft that is being
sunk In prospecting for coal near
here, and brought In samples of lig-
mite on last Sunday. They have
since been trying 1t In their stoves

practical test very creditably.
The specimens taken were found
within few feet Of the surface, and
are consequently too full Of moisture
to burn az briskly as desirable. The
samples obtained at greater depth
are more satisfactory In this respect.
As there are no coal stoves provided
with ventilating and draught CRATES,
the experiments we're hardly fair.

Will Make Another effort
After Numero Us
Failures.

The Wall street correspo ndent Of
the Spokesman Review writes that
paper as follows:
This weeks announcement of a
new mining exchange for New York
directed attention to the mum ber of
failures In this line. Why is 1t?
One would think that large city
like New York could support two or
three Of them, II numbers counted
for anything. Boston thrives on
copper stocks. The Bostonians
build air castles Of copper In their
dreams out of their prospective
profits In the shares they bought the
day before. An Euglishman, In ex-
planning the timidity Of foreigners
to trade In American railroad stocks,
said that they thought of things here
as long way of, feeling that they
could not get In touch with actual
conditions and be in position to
decide upon the merits Of our securi-
ties as investments, or as speculative
posi- bill litIes, for that matter.
New Workers, In sense, look upon
most mining properties rs long way
of, In like fashion, and seem to
want an affidavit with q large faring
seal, Indicating that everything is all
right. A good reason for this IL
that so many attempts have been
made In this generation to float min
ing bubbles here. "Once burnt, al
ways timid," has been an exper.
fence which Influences many traders
and others In this community, al
applied to mining Investments, al
though II is curious to observe that
people have lost ten times AZ much
In other promotions, including rail
road Investments, during the last ten
years, as they have In mines.
1t is to be noted that after long
of stock market Ryrations
AmslRamated Copper has come to be
regarded with mnch favor among
speculative interests. This stock now
stands In much the same position
that Sugar Refining shares did sew
eral years ago, when fortunes we're
made or lost within q very short
period. The Rockefellers, who con-
troll Amalgamated Copper, seem to
have used every effort to make the
stock popular, and as a Boston dis.
patch puts 1t, they could, II they de.
sired, have made fortune operating
