Boston. May G.-Georse Walkers weekly copper letter says: Copper prices hase been reduced Is to 1-4 of a cent per pound. Lake is now 15 10 15 IS cents and electrolytic 15 cents per pound. The market is ex- tremely dull. IL is now assured, however. that the exports of the first four months of this year will equal the record breaking total of the same period a year ago. The fact that the volume of this class of business is being maintained on Q 15-cent copper market illretrates the statistical strength of the situation. Home con- sumption is actually larger now than 1t was year ago when copper was selling around 13 cents per pound.
 There is a feeling abroad that the price of the metal is being allowed to sag while certain interests add to their liro of c1nper stocks. and that the metal market will become normal again and advance to 1G cents when it is desired to sell the coppers in question. It is not impossible that there is good basis for this kind e reaSOri-~ Hi~h trade authorities declare that no business of importance has been done al the lower quotations and that TO large amount of copper is 1,ai-~ oero-,I o- rvesSoI for sale.

Some one has figured out that Amalgamated has paid in dividends during the past four years less than it has received in dividends from the Boston 6 Mon tana company alone. This means that Amalgamated must have on hanl whatever money it has received in di yidends during that period from the Anaconda, Parrot and Butte 6 Bos ton companies; and there is, there fore. the best of reason for the belief that it's dividend rate will be Increased again three months hence.

 The fact is people are wondering what it is all about and why don't the Circles come back up to where they belong. Dealers in their ponder ings blame practically everything in sight for the present condition. And then they blame some things not wis. ible The Emperor of Germany is even listed with the knocker element He is blamed for being too gay in his movements in the buffer states and so causing the finances of Europe to be unstable.
 This in turn is reflected here and the Bisbee stocks of course must take their share of the general depres- sion.

THE FORTUNES OF MINING

As a general rule a mining camp does not look forward 10 long lease of life. The fortunes of nine out of every ten camps are very fiuctuating, although there are notable exceptions, and more than on mining camp has grown into a prosperous city whose permsneucy ultimately rested upon other industries than that of mining. There are also noteworthy revivals at times of mining camps which had played out oa account of the failure of the one mineral that had given them life and in which it was discovered later that another mineral was even more abundant and could be mined with profit. New Mexico has such examples. Magdaiena and Kelly. not cd as great lead producers. are TOW producers of large ouanti,ies of zinc. Elsewhere Ire sare incidents are re- corded.

Houghton Mich, May 4.-The pros poets of a general strike in the Lake copper district on May 1, which were uncomfortably strong two or three weeks ago have grown less with each day that has passed during the last fortnight, and there seems no likeli- hood of any serious labor disturbances now. The change has been brought about by a variety of causes, chief among which has been the firm stand taken by the employing corporations. The last three strikes of last month were at the Franklin. Osceola and Wolverine mines. and in each case no concessions whatever were made. the men going back on the same terms as before they walked out. The last strike to be settled was that of the Osceola company. where the min CTS and trammers of the North Rear sage and South Kearsage mines re- turned to work on Monday of this week The company served notice on all strikers, last week, to call for wages due them, and that men de string to work would have to be hired OhSi' u OoSHlie NOHnH II tO 'iiS h4AHSA Q that the companies had determind upon a strong stand. and that no concessions of any sort would be made in the face of the strikes.

 The accidental destruction of the draw of the Portage Lake railroad bridge. by the steamer Northern Wave, is awkward and gives rise to many small annOyances, but will in nowise interfere with mining work or development during the season. though it is probable that the new and enlarged span cannot be set in place much before the close of nav i@ation.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

O6rNE NGSS SFNNiNOl " nGO by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deaf ness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eutachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by Cetsrrh. which is nothing but an inflaTned con dition of the mucous surfaces.

THE cRONSTADT AFFAIR.
The Sailors Had Ground for Discon-
 text.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-The admir- alty declares that the report that the crews of the Russian battleships Slava and Alexander IT., now at Cronstadt, mutinied, is untrue. Vice Admiral Birileff, minister of marine, while ad- hitting that a deplorable state of dis content exists among sailors, attributes the Cronstadt trouble to the mutiny at Libau. He freely admits however, that the sailors have many just grievances, an investigation showing that the gov ernment contractors have robbed the government and furnished the crews with food unfit to eat.
 An independent investigation seems to confirm the report that the navy of ficials at Cronstadt acted disgracefully. Most of them fled for their lives from the wrath of the sailors. The com mander of the seventh equipage com mitted suicide when the outbreak oc- cured

St. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-The groundless nature of the alarmist re- ports that a St. Bartholomew massa- ere would take place last night was de- monstrated when the hours passed without the slightest development of a mob spirit. Prince Lavoff the Mos COW zemstvoist and one of the leaders of the constitutional democrats, has issued a reassuring announcement de- cIaring that the rumors of an organized black hundred" were almost entirely myths.
 In an effort to pacify the country and end the fratricidal strife Count Witte has enlisted the aid of the church and the holy synod, which is now under the direction of Prince Alexis Obelens- ky, has issued an encyclical which will be read in all churches of the empire in place of the usual Sunday sermon. It reminds the Russians that wrath and hatred often change the nature of men and make them like wild beasts,
