Doors to Be Open Sunday

1t would have taken a traveller from

Fish and Game Association last night
at the Mechanics Pavilion, and the
land of the bagpipe and the oat cakes.
The Scots, in native garb, were there.
There were Scotch songs, dances and
athletics.
The huge hall was filled to its ut
most with an interested crowd of spec
tators. The programme, elaborate in
its many details, was hardly less pleas
Ing than the wonders of fish, forest and
animal life shown
On account of the demand for ad-
mission to the pavilion on Sundays the
association will alter its intention to
keep the doors closed on the Sabbath.
SO that the workingman can see the
exhibition the show will be open next
Sunday. A visit to the pavilion will
be the same as a stroll in the park. A
musical programme will be arranged
and good time is assured.

HIS STOMACH GONE, YET
EATS AND ENJOYS LIFE
Operation Upon Wisconsin Man Proves
Organ Not Vitally Essen
tiaI to life

operation Upon Wisconsin Man Proves
Organ Not vitality Essen
tial to Life.
That stomach is a superfiuity to
man Is apparently proved by the case
OF Max Sigl, Seymour Wis who has
been without a stomach for year and
who is in excellent health.
Sigl was operated on by DR.. A. II.
Levlngs of this city a year ago. and
on Thursday the doctor opened uD the
abdominal cavity and found that Sigfs
condition was perfectly satisfactory.
The entire stomach was not removed,
but only about three-fourths of il.
There was a sarcomatOus growth
which made the operation necessary to
save the patients lie.
Mr. Sigl does not pay any more at
tent1on TO his diet than other men,
He eats whatever he fancies. and he
does not have any trouble with his di-
gestion. The intestines have assumed
the work Of the stomach and the food
Is d1gested in the intestines.
Dr. Levings expressed the opinion
that so far as the disease which orig
inally threatened Sigl's life Is con-
cerned. the man will live for many
years.
A peculiar feature in relation to this
case is the fact that Joseph Sigl, a
brother of Max Sigl. was operated
upon two years ago in a similar man
ner. his stomach being removed Jo-
seph recovered from the operation and
lived for two years.
After his death an autopsy was per-
formed to settle the cause Of death and
it was found that his digestive organs
were all right. but that he had died
as the result of disease OF the liver
Undoubtedly many a poor dyspept1c
who reads of Max Sigls happy life
without a stomach will envy the Sey-
mour farmer.-New York EXCHANGE.

The copper era., 1905-11-09

From various accounts in the news papers it would seem that Arizonn is this year leading Montana in the out put of copper. However, the returns as given are in some instances too high. It is hardly likely that Ari- zona will pass Montana this year, but will surely do so next year, as sev- eral new plants are being erected and nearly all of the old ones en- larged. It is not an easy matter to greatly increase the output of cop per in a short time, and therein lies the safety of investment in copper shares. Thomas w. Lawson very truthfully stated that it takes five years time and five million dollars to make a copper mine. As matter of fact the increased demand for copper has been in excess of the increased output, which is the cause of the present high price of the metal, and the corresponding advance in the price of copper shares. Almost any company can make money at the present price of copper, and by bet torment of plant and equipment they ought to be able to continue to make money should the price drop to fifteen cents, and it is not apt to go lower than that in many years. At the present time it would be hard to beat high-class copper shares as an investment.
The copper era., 1905-11-09

George Walker in the Boston Com mercial, gives out the following in- teresting information in regard to the Shannon: "Is understood to have closed it's fiscal year with a cash and copper surplus of $2O4,O00. A Shan non interest says: Tn December, 1902, the Shannon company had a cash and copper surplus of $lS0,0S2. Since thtt time it has paid out for construction, equipment, new prop critics, a controlling interest in the Coronado company and in retiring bonds and in bond interest, total of about SS4O,OOO. As this money has come from earnings it is plain that the company must have made a profit of approximately S3OO,OOO annually on it's mining operations, or about three cents for each pound of copper produced. The average price re- ceived for copper during the period has probably been 134 to 14 cents, which would indicate a production cost of not over 10t to II cents per pound. If this basis of cost has been maintained during the construc- tion and experimental end, it would seem that the prospect of 9 to 9 cent cost in the future is very favor able. The Shannon property is in better shape today than ever before in it's history"
