when talking of the coming C. & A. dividend? Well there is a number of that kind here. Some of our cas- tie builders" having heard that two fifty per share will just about meas ure the new dividend.
 Don't bank on any such idle talk however. for the fact is we will do well to get $2.0O per share since the last declaration failed to state if that sum would be forthcoming reg ularly each three months.
 Keep fixed in your mind the fact that the c. & A. has got much use for ready money, both at the mire and at the smelter.
 Our weather has been near the limit for some weeks past, snow al ternating with rain is making the festive citizen remember where ne was at.
 The base ball season is now here and stock traders are generally pret- ty good rooters, so you should not take offense at any ball terms getting mixed in with reports from this sec ton.
 Roller skating has just broken out here and is coming into instant favor. so if Mir. Garnett King wants a new excursion objective Calumet ought to be considered pretty near the goods"

metal market just at the present moment is such as to warrant the belief that the wire men have not Init it." but that they have been hit this time.
 Attention is called to the fact that notwithstanding the constant heavi- ness of the London speculative metal market, there is excellent buying of copper in this market for export. 1t is believed that London quotations are being depressed by the buyers. A trade authority says that as soon as the largest producing and selling interest wishes American consumers to come into the market and supply their advance wants il will bring them in by bidding up the London metal market and forcing the foreign short interest to cover.
 The remarkable strength of the copper situation can only be appre. ciated when it is known that produo tion is very much, heavier than ever before. and that despite this there is

no falling off in the European de. mand, and the prospect now is that the exports of 1905 will exceed the remarkable total of 1904.
 One f several factors that has discouraged the buyers of copper was the recent sale of wire for advance delivery by some manufacturers at prices which represented a 15-cent copper market. Inquiry developes the fact that these manufacturers ID effect went short of the metal. taking their chances at being able to buy it at a lower price. One wire man IS privately quoted as saying that he follows the practice of making such contracts whenever he thinks the metal market likely to decline, and that if he hits" it right once in three times he gets more than the average business profit on all of the transactions, the point being that when copper prices do decline they usually go off cents at a time rath. CT than fractions. The tone of the

are less SO now. We know that for a mining company to get actual re- suits such as the c. & A. has ac- complished is to merit the approval and steadfast support of all sane in vestors. We believe that though the C. & P. has been held back solidly by an enormous water burden she will in reasonable time do all that the officials pretend she will do. The r. & D. and L. s. & r. have not only well suited the stockhold- CTS, but they have Outshone that ap- proval. at least to the extent that the share value prices now over reach the par value
 Critics of all classes are to be found and some incline to feel that in the matter of anticipating future values the BonanZas had been a lit tie over done and that the recent slump was in fact a settling back to saner prices, more consistent with the real values.
 My own opinion IS that such reas- oning is not good and that these stocks will soon again climb up nearer to where they belong. Our shrewder traders believe that June tion could now be bought and soon show a very good profit P. & D. also at present prices should be talk en on by armfuls. The decided sag of the past few weeks seems to have touched bottom and the end of this week noticed an upward bound that is proving quite a bracer with local traders. A much better feeling in

uals may go. Many and many a time do we hear some of these peo- pie say that if such and such stock ever goes up a few points again they will sure let them go.
 The truth is they have persisted in that same little speech-at intervals for years, but, never sell. Many of our people dislike to have the feeling that they are getting to be regular traders" and would rather, in many cases lose their total in vestment than to try to mend the matter with the assistance of the ever ready brokers.
 One sentiment which appears to he the outgrowth of this conserva- tism is the growing tendency on the part of many here to find real divi- dend payers attractive investments.
 The total dividend money coming to Houghton County each twelve months is certainly very large. l can not even attempt to put forth ap- proximate figures, but it is known to be very large.
 It must be remembered that while the Arizonas form large part of our holdings, they are only a relatively large part. I take it that our peo- pie have by far their greater proper ties right here in HOughton County. Of course all the western mining states have taken large sums of Lake Superior money as have Canada and Mexico. But the Bonanza Circle have always been in high favor here and it is a mistake to suppose that they

mated as S272, 900 and from Mon- tana's coppers ores at approximately S1.100,000. The mining of auriferous copper ores in Utah has received a great impetus during recent years, and the production of gold from this source has steadily increased. It is estimated at $2,100,000 for 1904, but this includes some of the smelting ores from Tintic, which are apt to contain both copper and lead. The gold from copper ores in Colorado IS difficult to estimate, as no exact statistics are available, but it prob. ably does not amount to S500,000.
 From Colorado and Utah come the principal gold-bearing lead ores.COl- orado contributes about S4,000, 900 of gold from it's lead ores, one fourth of which is derived from the Leadville mines. U tah gains about $4O0,U, of gold from lead ores, nearly the entire amount of which is obtained from the Park City silver-lead veins.
 These estimates are set forth by MT. Lindgren in a paper which is in cluded in the Surveys bulletin (No. 260) entitled Contributions to Eco homie Geology, 1904"
 NOTE-lt is possible only to believe that Prof. Lindgren has been wrongly interpreted by the printer in the state. ment occurring above to the effect that Arizona coppers do not carry gold. The ores of the Copper Queen and the Calumet & Arizona mines in Bisbee camp alone yield a greater an nual total of gold than that given as the by product of all copper mined in California. All copper ores now being mined in Arizona carry gold and silver Yalues of importance.

THE COPPER DEPOSITS OF THE
 EASTERN UNITED SAFES.

An investigation of the copper de- pOsits of the Atlantic and Appala- chian States was begun by Mr. Wal ter Harvey Weed of the United States Geological Survey in 1902 and is still in progress. Copper is found at many localities, but only a few mines are now in operation. and most of the old workings are filled with rubbish or are flooded and inacces- sible. MT Weeds work has never the less progressed far enough to show that the deposits in the East. err United States, from Alabama to Maine, are of many kinds, and while usually of low grade are sometimes large enough to be profitably worked under present economic conditions, as is proved by the successful oper. ation of the mines at Ducktown, Tenn.
 The Appalachian copper deposits occur in two distinct fields, the Noun. tain region and the Piedmont plain. to the east. At tho present time mining work is carried on at the fol- lowing localities: In the Blue s.idge district east of the Shenandoah Val ley, near Front Royal, Va, and near Luray. Va. in the Goldhill district. near Salisbury, N. G.; in the Virgi. lima district, along the Virginia-North Carolina State line, 70 miles east of Danville, Va: at or near Dillwyn, Va; in the hilly country of Floyd, Carroll. and Grayson counties, Va; in Lincoln County, Ga; and, last and greatest of all. at Ducktown, Tenn.
 The progress made in mining iB these districts is briefly outlined by Mir. Weed in a paper which is in- cluded in a recent publication of the United States Geological Survey eu. titled Contributions to Economic Ge- oiogy, 1904"

 The c. & A. dividend money will be with us again in about four weeks and right on top of this the big Cal umet and Hecla tri-annual distribu- tion of profits will occur. This com pany puts out $10 per share each time unless they happen to break the rule and put out s15 per share as they sometimes do. This kind of money is sure to make itself felt in the stock buying circle as well as in the realm of general business

Mysterious Cryptoqram.

The British Admiralty has obtained
the exclusive use of a new apparatus
which is to be employed In connec.
tion with wireless telegraphy. Pre-
Cisely what the invention comprises
is not known, as it is jealously
guarded secret. 1t Is called a cryptic
gram, and is the invention of a Swiss
mechanic. It's purpose is to prevent
the interception of wireless messages,
except by a person or station provid-
ed with the same device. The appa-
ratus is stated by the English naval
authorities to be perfect in operation,
since when five of these instruments
were submitted by them to series of
exactlng tests they proved so success
full that the device was procured by
them outright.-Scientific American.

Circumstantial Evidence.

"Reminiscences"

innovation In our criminal procedure.

where there was an eyewitness to

dence of circumstances-facts that
speak for themselves and that cannot

RECORD FOR SENATE SERVICE.
Longest Continuous Term Has Been
That Of Allison of Iowa.

With the advent of the new year
and Senator William B. Allison OF
Iowa still in his seat. his mind as
fresh. his body as active and his ca
pacity for work as great as ever. he
now holds the record for the longest
continuous service in that august
body. What is more, his present term
does not expire until 1909. And II
his health continues good he will seek
reelection.
Senator Allison's record to this date
is thirty-ne years, nine months and
twenty-siX days. Until two days ago
the late Senator morrill, held the rec
ord for the longest continuous serv-
Ice. While Senator Allison holds the
longest continuous service record, he
has not as yet attained the longest
actual service record. which belongs
to the history of John Sherman.

objects to "uncIe Toms Cabin"

is writing to governors of states ask
ing them to recommend the passage
of laws forbidding theatcrs to produce
the play of Uncle Toms Cabin" Mr..
says, it misrepresents the people of
the south, and he says that every
state should pass such law. SO that
while stump speakers in one hall are
talking of the elimination of sectional
hatred in the United States in the
next hall there may not be company
teaching the people that Uncle Tom
was killed in the south because he
was good. His protest is based on
the political and not on the artistic
idea.
