far reported, were 17213 long tons. It is expected that Pacific port ship ments, when all in, will swell this to above 1S,00O tons. It is undersood that the falling off in July was due to some arrangement between some domestic producers and foreign con sumers by which certain shipments were delayed until this month. The foreign demand continues very strong, with the exception that there has been slight temporary letup in the Chi nes buying. Europe is taking a very large amount of our copper.
 Those who can see nothing but ca- lamity in the business world, and who pretend to doubt the legitimacy of the present demand for copper, will do well to study the instrument statement for June, put out this week by the American Telephone company. It gives the net output of telephones for the month as 6S128, compared with 39,16S in June of the previous year, something like a 40 per cent increase. The total increase in the company's outstanding telephones in the twelve months was 97O,631, or nearly 25 per

cent. When it is realized that each of these 970.631 new instruments in- stalled, as well as the scores of thou sands of others that were put out by independent companies, required a circuit of copper wire, besides coils, switches, switchboards, etc, it be- comes plain that the telephone busi- ness alone must consume the product of al least one very large copper mine. This growth in use of the telephone constitutes a reflection of industrial progress and expansion that cannot possibly be misleading.
 While it is to be hoped that there will be no stampede, it cannot be de nied that the price of cc9p,s- is like to be forced up to 16 or IS cents per pound. If aggressive buying for Chi nese account should be resumed imme- diately, the price might go to 20 cents. As all the copper that the mines and reduction works of the world can put out is now coming to market, there would be no supplies of metal to take care of a further sudden expansion of demand

gressive bull market in copper shares. It no longer calls for argument to sus- tain this statement. There is a grow ing public and investment demand for good copper stocks, and a decreasing disposition on the part of holders to sell them. The 15-cent copper mar ket for eight months past has made the producing companies rich. and now we have the prospect of still higher level of metal prices. IL is plain that the utility value of copper is more fully appreciated now than ever before, and that as a result it's con sumption must continue so large as to prevent a possible return to low prices The average market for cop per in the future should be above rather than below 14 cents per pound. During the past twenty years the aver age price was about 13 1-4 cents per pound, and the past rather than the present has been fixing the price Of copper shares.
 While the selling of Copper Range has not prevented a bull market in other coppers, it has delayed the movement. When Copper Range

There is danger of runaway cop per market. Lake and electrolytic are selling for 15 1-2 to Is 5-S cents per pound, and there are more buyers than sellers. Most producers have sold their product as far ahead as October, and are out of the market except for later dates. There is a strong demand for spot deliveries, and it is this that is forcing prices higher. The efforts of the leading producing and selling interests to prevent this advance in prices have been in vain. They felt that Is cents per pound was high enough, and as consumers seemed well satisfied with a steady market at that level, it was thought best to discourage speculation and to deliver all heir copper as rapidly as it could be produced and refined. By this means the market was held down to E cents for several months, though it was a period of steadily gaining consumption.

PRODUCTION OF COKE IN 1904.

Including the production of coke from by-product retort ovens, which in 1904 amounted to 2,60S,22 short tons, the total output of the coke ovens of the United States was last year. according to the report made by Mir Edward W. Parker, a, ,621 ,520 short tons, against 25,274,2S1 short tons in 1903. The decrease in 1904 as compared with the preceding year was 1.652,761 short tons, or 6.54 per cent. The total value of the product declin- ed in much greater proportion from $66 ,49S. .664 in 1903 to S4e, e,026, ,IS2, a decrease of s20.472, ,4S1, or 31 per cent.
 "The decline in production was a natural one" says Mir. Parker, due to a slump in the iron trade during the summer months. which was in turn caused for the most part by the unsettled conditions that usually at- tend a Presidential campaign. And while these conditions also affected prices, the great difference between the values of the production in 1904 and 1903 was due tc the abnormaIIy high prices which prevailed in the early part of 1909, when, because of the fuel famine induced by the anthra- cite strike of the preceding year, man ufacturers of coke were able to obtain

Statement of Boise's Finances.

According to the report of Expert
James S. Bogart upon the condition of
the city finances at the beginning of
the present city administration on
July 20. 1905, which was presented at
Thursday nights council meeting, the
floating Indebtedness of the city at
that time reached the aggregate of
S64.7OS. The sum of $24,657,l3, how
ever was owed by the sewerage i'm
provement fund and has since been
cared for by the sale of sewer bonds.
1t was stated by members of the city
council that a careful analysis of the
figures presented showed net in
debtedness at the time the former ad-
minstration went out of office of in
the neighborhood of $3e,69O. OF the
total floating Indebtedness of $64 ,70S,
aside from the large sum due on out
standing warrants of the sewerage
fund, the sum of $32,O30.26 was owing
by the general fund of the city, and
the remainder of the apparent deficit,
$S020.61, was distributed among 10
different funds. The report also
showed a net cash balance in the city

STARTLING EXPERIENCE.
Powder Explosion Lifts Man Out of "A
1O-FOOt Hole.

Joel C"Bert'D Johnson. who was
the victim of premature powder eN-
plosion last Saturday on Camas pra-
irie. will not lose his life, says the
HALEY News Miner. although the ex-
perience he passed through must have
been of a dangerous and startling
character. He was al work blasting
on the Cow creek reservoir site, about
eight miles west OF Corral, using
black powder. He was in the bottom
of pit 10 feet deep. and had blast
of eight pounds of powder ready for
discharge. He used a short piece of
fuse-the last he had, and while he
was STOPPING over the charge the ex-
plosion occurred. The full force of
the blast struck him squarely in the
face. The man working with Johnson
was somewhere outside the pit. on
hearing the explosion he rushed up
and looked in the pit for his compan-
ion. but failed to find him. Johnson
was about 20 feet away, having been
lifted out of the pit and carried that
distance by the force of the explo-
sion.
Johnson's face was blackened by
powder and covered with pits. one
eye was entirely destroyed, and the
other so seriously injured that the
sight by be destroyed. No bones
were broken and he appears to have
been particularly fortunate in escap-
ing more serious injuries.
johnson has wife and four or five
children and the family were camp
ing near where he was at work.

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study TO the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high COL
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
OF her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.
