One trouble is that when man finds
himself the owner Of specially fine
brood mare or sow he Is quite likely
to be tempted to sell 1t at the extra
price others are willing to pay, when
his best interests would be conserved
by refusing to put price on such an
animal. We recall the case Of man
who realized an income OF $3.50 a year
for fifteen years from brood mare
which he owned. Inasmuch as the
work done by this mare far more than
paid for her keep, It is easy to see that
1t was d'Seult to plaza high enough
value upon her.

New York. March 1.-THE Flnancier
this week says:
The official statement of the New York
associated banks last week is noteworthy
because of the comparatively slight
changes which were recorded in the prin-
cipal items. The decrease of 81 ,505.000 in
loans would seem to indicate that the OPP
erations incident to the Southern Pacific
bond negotiations which were made dur
ing the previous fortnight nave Deell
brought to a close, and that normal loan
conditions SO far as the banks are con-
cerned now prevail. There was a net
gain of 1912, 400 in cash reserve during the
week. The deposits decreased $2,304 200
which amount is greater by $i,111,6oO than
the sum of the contraction In loans less
the net gain In cash, therefore the state
ment did not balance.
The required reserves against general
deposits was reduced s57G,050, adding
which to the net gain in cash made sSSS. 45O

the surplus is s14. $4,000. Though there
were during the week considerable

small portion of such deposits the sur
renders last week being only : 400, maxi

The fans are anxious for Manager
Vaughan to arrange a series of games
with the Boston Americans, now in the
south. The American Beaneaters are
great favorites In the south. and their
appearance at Slagtown would no doubt
prove great drawing card.
A New York special says: The follow
ing telegram from Joe McGinnity, the
star pitcher of the National league, sets
at rest all rumors of his quitting the
Giants. It has been reported that the
Iron Man. having some difference with
the New York National officials on the
salary question, had determined to quit
the game and give all his attention to
his iron plant in Indian Territory. This,
however, turns out to be untrue:

Great Utah Copper Sale.

Following the announcement Of the
sale of the proposed issue of 100000
of bonds Of the Utah Copper Company
to the Guggenheim syndicate, says the
Denver Republican, comes the call for
a special meeting of the stockholders
to ratify the issue and increase the
capital stock of the company from $4,-
100000 to an authorized capital, not
necessarily to be Immediately issued.
of $G,000.000. The meeting is to be
held in Jersey City, New Jersey, on
September 5th.
The bonds subscribed by the Guggen-
helms carry clause making them con.
vertable into stock, and from this 1t
would appear that the company is to
hold 3,000.0 900 of the stock subject to
such conversion while the present
stockholders will retain over this an
equal amount, making the Guggenheim
and the observation-disclosures inter-
ests in the company equal at all times.
Wonderful tales are told of the ex.
tent of this copper deposit in Bingham
canon, Utah, which the Colorado oper-
ators secured something over year
ago at an outlay of under million and
have been rapidly developing to its
present state. 1t is a mountain of low
grade copper ores, that have been ex-
plotted with tunnels and shafts until
the extent Is pretty conclusively de-
fined, and the company managers think
they are speaking conservatively when
they talk of erecting the proposition
into a S12.000,000 estate. They have
up a mill built to a capacity of $50 tons
of ore daily. and actually handling 600.
making a concentrate out of the low
grade stuff that runs an average OF
about four per cent. In copper. En-
largements of this plant are now under
way to give treatment of 1000 tons
daily, and with the proceeds Of the
Guggenheim bond issue, the company
plans to build an even greater plant,
one capable of putting through 5000
tons every twenty-four hours.
Mining men who are familiar with 1t
express It's probable yield by saying
one can wear out lead pencils making
figures on what the deposit will yield.
Millions are left behind by such esti-
mating, but the company appears to
hold a conservative figure in placing
its capitalization.
This deposit was known for years,
but 1t seemed too big a thing and none
would attempt the heavy outlay for
mills that 1t required to make the ores
marketable until the Colorado oper-
ators came upon 1t. Since then It has
come to be recognized as the biggest
mining proposition In this section Of
the world, II not the biggest anywhere.
and the Colorado men will make mil.
lions out Of 1t.

Eaales' Convention Welcomed.

Denver, Aug. 16.-The convention Of
the Fraternal Order Of Eagles took up
its work yesterday. The public recep.

opera house was an occasion which set
the Eagles on the wing and the OFF,
GERS and members Of the grand aerie
were accorded a great ovation.
About 100 officers of the grand
aerie occupied the stage. Mr.. Bell

pitality to the delegates. Governor Nc
Donald was the first speaker, deliver
ing a few brief remarks In an impress

the delegates and DR.. w. II. Sharpley
followed with few observations of a
fraternal nature.
Mayor Speer welcomed the guests in
happy manner. He chose light, IA
cetious tone in addressing the dele
gates, which met with ready apprecia-
tion and closed with an invitation to
all tired" Eagles to come to Colorado
to live at some future time, and stating
that the keys OF the city are always at
their disposal.
Grand Worthy President Pelletier

their welcome and the local aerie for
its earnest work in caring for the con.

TWO MORE ARTICLES.
Peace ENJOYS Make Further Progress
in Their Work.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. 16.-The
crisis in the peace negotiations upon
which the eyes of the world are fas-
tened is approaching rapidly and the
end of this week or the first of next at
the latest should witness the deadlock
and the end, if the conference is to
go to pieces.
Two more of the twelve articles,
numbers four and six, were disposed
of yesterday. Article four consists of
mutual pledges to observe the integ-
rity of China and the policy of the
''open door," for the commerce of all
nations, and article six covers the sur
render OF the Russian leases to the
Liaotung peninsula, Port Arthur.
Dalny and the Blonde and Elliott
islands,
To article four both parties gave
ready assent. and the official state
ment of the adoption Of that article
took care to state that it was agreed
to Unanimously.
Article five, the consideration of
which was postponed until later, pro-
vides for the cession of the island Of
Saghalin. Discussion appearing USE
less at this stage on account Of the
Arm negative given in the Russian re-
ply. 1t was decided. upon the motion
Of the Japanese, to defer its discus
sion, thus revealing the Japanese in
tention Of postponing to the end the
life and death struggle.
This is the usual procedure followed
in diplomatic negotiations, enabling
the negotiators to come to an accord
upon all possible points before tack
ling the crucial issues and the fact
that the Russians acquiesced in the
proposition shows that they too are
as careful and as anxious as are the
Japanese that the world should not ac-
cuse them of being responsible for pre-
cipitating the break, II break there is
to be- and wrecking the conference.
This in itself is hopeful sign. Be-
sides, by postponing the burning ques-
tion to the end, the psychological mo-
ment for bargain and compromise ar
rives. Then hurriedly the last trump
cards and the game is done.

The Latest FROG story.

From Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania.
comes the following: Mrs. Bridget
Mangan Of Minnoka. near here, has
coughed up two frogs and is enjoying
relief after an illness Of several weeks.
Physicians are puzzled by her case.
Early in the spring she was attacked
by severe pains in the stomach which
would not yield to any treatment. Six
days ago this pain was succeeded by .
steady and overpowering thirst. DR..
Haggerty, in the hope of aiding her.
gave her an emetic and to his surprise
she was relieved of small frog. Yes
terday the thirst began again. He gave
her another emetic and this time .
frog four inches long was evicted. She
has not had pain since.
DR.. Haggerty believes she swallowed
the frogs in drinking water when they
were tiny tadpoles. He will send the
frogs to the New York Medical Uni.
