Roosevelt Next to Grady.

This country owes Georgia much. From it's soil two men have sprung who have done more to cement the sections since '64 than all the other states cembin- ed. And not since the silver tongue of Henry Grady was si- fenced has any man done more to bring peace than Theodore Roosevelt, and both of them sprang from Georgia's . soil. Roosevelt's mother was born and reared in Georgia, and that of itself gives Georgia right to claim him as her son.
 The work that was commenc- ed by Grady in New York in 1886 may yet be completed by Roosevelt in 1906, and the work of one is not less patriotic than the work of the other.
 That Roosevelt is making the line that divides the sections dinner and dimmer every day can be seen by the way he is be- ing received in the south. And the royal welcome he receives by the people is recipr0cated by him in the appreciation he shows: In ignoring the sections Roose- veIt shows his true greatness, and we oE the south are begin ming to fully realize that his feel- ing for the south Is not one that is corn of any other desire than to promote the interests of a common country. It can't be the work of Roosevelt the poli- tician, because the work of Roosevelt the politician is at an end. It must then be the work of Roosevelt, the man. the Amer ican citizen, the diplomat and statesman.
 He can hope for no personal reward. He has had all the honor that can ever come to him in life. and the service he rend- CTS now can be no other than the patriotic service of an unselfish citizen.
 When the president goes north again thememories he will carry with him and those he leaves be- hind will be a seed sown in good ground that will bear rich fruit in the years to come. '
 The name of Henry Grady has been loved and cherished in the forth since he made his first

No Benefit No Cost.

If you are weak and worn out-if you are nervous, irrlta- ble, have headache, backache, neuralgia, or periodical pains. it is because you have exhausted your nerve force.
 If you cannot sleep, and are thus robbed of the rest which nature demands for the restor- ation of mental and physical vigor, your system will con- tinue to run down.
 Dr. Miles Nervine restores vitality by soothing and strengthening the nervous system, thus inducing refresh ing sleep, and imparting strength and vigor to all the organs of the body.
 There are very few instances where Nervine will not benefit; if not, your druggist will re- fund the money.

WEEKLY COPPER REVIEW.

The Boston market during the past week gained all that it lost during the time of the Copper Range struggle, says the Financial News, and in addi- tion rose to a new plane of activity and value. It was essentially the time of the little coppers. Issues that have lain dormant for many long day came forward in blocks of hundred lots, mak- ing a healthy activity that enabled many people who had the shares to find market for them and still others who see possibilities in the sections which the smaller mines represent, had a chance to get shares at a small valuation.
 The general disposition of the street has been to consider the entire move ment a trading of jack-knives between interested parties. But if we are to credit in the smallest degree the re ports of developments that have been made in all sections of the Michigan peninsula, higher speculative value

must attach, by consequence, 70 prop critics in the same mineral zone where known discoveries have taken place. In spite of all market variations, the copper industry of this entire country has made, is making and will continue to make rapid strides in every direc- tion.
 Many years ago man who died a millionaire came into possession, through inheritance, of large sum of money. He invested II entirely in copper properties, taking those he con sdered best on the list and confining his attention largely to these thar were selling for a few dollars a share. IL was to this investment that he owed his subsequent affluence. This pro cess is going on at the present time just as actively as it was then, and for this very reason many strong boxes have suddenly found that shares which were considered worthless but a short year ago have developed considerable value. Like possibilities in all the small coppers will always make a mar ket for them when they are cheap. and vii cause interest to De taken in them as long as vestige of hope remains that they may develop into producing properties.

Cooper Share and Metal Market Outlook Vii f'

hlOyancy has been an excellent thing for the market as a whole, and l be- lieve that it will construct broader ground for the future.
 The excellent prices that have been realized for several of the small CT coppers has called attention to the general market and the opportuni- ties that are in it for speculation and investment, and best of all, it has served a very good purpose in get ting investors operating in the copper shares. This interest now has the appearance of becoming more general and I believe that the excellent condi- tions that are now promised will short y materialize. The average investor is peculiar. If the generality of them have shares in some one of the prop critics that have failed to develop a mine which they cannot sell withous taking a loss, no matter how good the investment that is offered, they will say that they have enough "cop- per" and this notwithstanding that much money has been made by them in stocks which have at all times a market value. The mere fact that they were able to sell these holdings has brought back into the market many of this class of investors, who, when once in, speculate freely and largely.
 The strength of the metal has also had a beneficial effect on general con ditions and has drawn attention to the possibilities of the market. For the coroso,r rraolx tho arpoararoo ;c that business will continue to be stead fly better. Under present market conditions of the metal rise in all the shares is sure to follow. Every day that il is put off is merely so much assurance that the big market for which everybody connected with the industry has been longing, is sure to come.''

The National Conduit & Cable Go. New York, discussing the copper mar ket situation, says: The position of copper has grown to be one of pro found and wide-Teaching interest, and there is good reason t1 expect that this will continue without abatement. We nave frequently directed attention 10 the enormOu< increase in the eX- ports of copper, and this feature of the situation may be said to form the sole reason for the market firmness prevailing during the past twelve months. The exports for the first seven months of 1905 amount to 332,- IA ,960 pounds, against 299, ,116,1G0 pounds for the first seven months of 1904. If the domestic production for the current calendar year is estimated att S75 900, 900 pounds, the above rate of exports, if maintained throughout the entire year, would represent 65 Ter cent of the United States prOduc tion. Imports into this country for the first half of this year were 9S,IS4- 900 pounds, and at this same rate the Quantityt of imported copper for 1905 would amount to 19f,56S,0 ,000 pounds. NuoAt4Is OA 4A-fS- tSu NOppS4 4O4 4Sy' as for the first seven months, the to. tai quantity of copper exported this year will reach the unprecedented amount of 569, ,391 ,560 pounds, CT 5 per cent of the United States produc. tion and imports for the year, as per figures stated. With foreign de mand of such dimensions for the cop per produced here and imported into this country for refining, there is no difficulty in explaining why values have risen. Domestic demand is also a large and growing factor to be reck- oned with, and with present excellent business conditions the course of the copper market is not to be wondered at."

now practically inaccessible, hut to be opened to the world with the compile ton of the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail road. So far we have referred only to the building of the main line of something less than 40OO miles, but it is the purpose of the government of the Dominion to build innumera- ble branches, so that the most re- mote parts of the main line will be brought into touch with the existing railroads not only of Canada but of this country. One of these lines is already under construction-frOm To- ronto to Lake Transforming, about 300 miles north in straight line from the city on Lake Ontario. American ia- terests are represented to a degree in the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern road, an undertaking of James J. HilI's, in British Columbia, with extensive notifications south of the internation- al line. That others beside Mir. Hill have their eyes wide open to the fu- ture is not surmise, fer already Ameri- can roads have secured, through pur- chase or otherwise, existing proper ties which are heading toward the new country. All this means great busi- ness for Canada and a share of her prosperity for the United States.
 Everything indicates that Canada is full of mineral-tbe precious metals. coal, iron, copper, tin, nickie, phos- phates. and in fact everything that the requirements of the world demand abound, to say nothing of oil. These fields are thus far untouched. Grant ing that there may be exaggeration about the reports enough has been found to justify scientific search for precious and other metals. and it must be confessed that the mining history of Canada warrants the most thorough exploration. How greatly this will be accelerated by the con struction of the new road needs no argument to prove. Important finds of oil and coal have already been an nOunced by the surveying parties. and altogether there seems to be good reason for the optimism which pre- vails in Canada.

COPPER SHARES.

A member of a prominent Boston brokerage firm says:
 There is no doubt a greater pub lie interest in copper shares than has been apparent for long time. The activity of the general list has had much to do with this, but the fact that there has been a market for a large number of the small coppers for the past week has been a large factor in the trading. People who years ago invested in several of the properties on which operations have long since been abandoned, and which for one reason or another have become factors in the trading market, have had chance to get out of the shares, in s.me cases at a profit and in oth- CTS by taking a greater or less loss. This money has in most cases gone into other stocks, and the general

The prime agent of the coming develop ment will be the new trans-continent al railway with termini on the shores of the Atlantic and of the Pacific oceans. This coming line has gone far beyond the field of the protector Its route has been definitely decided upon, the surveys for its construction have been definitely decided upon, the surveys for it's construction have been completed, and the financial arrange ments for it's building have been pcO- vided. In fact, one section of the work has been already offered for contract, ari It is certainty that before his tine next year the work of consJruc- tioI along the whole line will D. in progress. The cost of the undertak- ing is variously estimated at from $150,000,0O0 to S200. 100000, and the railroad is to be completed and equip ped within five years.
 When it is considered that the pres ent wheat producing capacity of the country is only ? per cent of the equally good grain growing land which will be thrown open to cultivation by the construction of this great ma tional undertaking, the possibilities are simply staggering. It means that within ten years the production of wheat in Canada will be limited only by the ability to find the labor to cultivate the land and handle the crops. This development means a coming economic change, which must be taken into consideration as a worlds factor. Canada is now pro- ducing about one-sixth of the wheat raised in North America. Her facili- ties will increase her ability so vast ly that it is evident that she will be- fore many years control the grain markets of the world.
 Only second in importance to her wheat production, if indeed it long remains second, will be the return promised from the forests and mines,

TorIeon met the cuts and went them better" About the first of the year the trust made a bluff at building a smelter at VelaTdena of 1000 tons ca pacity. Veiardena ;s only a short distanct from Torreon, but Torreon was not easily frightened so the trust announced that the Nelardena plant would be of 2,00O tons capacity and it would build another smelter at Chihua- hua where the Torreon smelter gets considerable of it's fluxing ores. Not getting the desired results, the trust" got down to real business and Is nego- tiating in earnest for the purchase of the Torreon plant and it is thought it will not stop short of success.
 In addition to the foregoing, the writer has data of 36 small plants of from 25 to 250 tons capacity each, or an average of S5 tons each, having a total capacity of 3,100 tons in actual operation, besides those that have been closed down by the trusts or for other reasons. There are sever al others in course of construction, aggregating, perhaps, 5000 tons daily capacity. In the past few months there have been several concessions granted for smelters in various parts of the republic, among which are one at Naco, Sonora, one at Durango, one each at Jimenez and Parral. Chihua- hua, aggregating perhaps GOO tons capacity daily. The plant at Santa Rosalia is to be increased from SO

 The Monterey Smelling aEd Refin- ing company, Monterey, N L., has a fine plant of 1,500 tons capacity and successfully competing with one of the trust plants at that point. This company has a capital of sS,000,000.
 The COmpania Metarurgica de Tor reon, capitalized at $3,5O0,00O, with it's stock selling at 50 per cent above par, has only been in operation about three years and is earning over 20 per cent on it's capital. The capacity of the plant is ,O00 tons daily and is to have two copper furnaces of 25o tons each.

The Chihuahua Enterprise prints the following review of smelter con- ditions in Mexico.
 The nightmare of the mine owners and operators of Mexico is so-called "smelter trust" and they tremble when they think about that concern. The trust" which is the American Smelt. ing and Refining Company, is equal ly fearful Of all opposition, and uses this fear on the mine owners and the public as one of it's arguments to keep out opposition.
 Today, the trust is not doing more than 20 per cent of the smelting busi- ness in Mexico. It has only the smelt' CT at Aguascalientes with capacity, it is said, of 2,0O0 tons daily and one at Monterey with 1000 tons. The total tonnage of the independent sInelt CTS in operation at the present time is 14,5OO tons daily, as shown by the fol lowing:

ACTIVITIES OF THE
 COPPER QUEEN.

A great industry is typifed in the Copper Queen company, says Mines and Minerals. And one is never so forcibly impressed with this fact as on pay day, when some four thousand men draw their wages from this one corporation. About half this number are employed in the mines at Bisbee. and the remainder in the smelter and offices at Douglas, the exact number Of checks paid at the latter point this month being 2163.
 Tn the mines about 1900 men are en- gagged in delving for the copper ore. This number shows monthly variation, but it fairly represents the average. Contrary to general expectations, the number of Coppepr Queen miners at Bisbee will not be materially increased because of increase in capacity at the Douglas smelters. Although the force of miners will probably be increased a small number during the fail months, the additional force is designed for ex- ploratory work rather than increased extraction of ore. At present there is piled up in the smelter yards at Douglas a reserve ore body of 60,000
