For the rain had ceased at last, and a sickly
autumn sun shone upon land which was soaked

from the woods. The fields were spotted with
monstrous fungi of size and color never matched

dead rotted by the wayside for want of some one
to bury them In many village no single man
was left alive. Then at last the spring came with
sunshine and health and 1ightness and laughter
the greenest sweetest tenderest spring that England
had ever known-but only half of England could

Yet it there in that stream of DEATH in that

nation break away from that iron feudal system

up Ave years ahead with 1000. 900 tons
OF ore I'm reserve We could, II we
chose open up 2,00OO 900 tons OF ore, or

soft that we are afraid OF cave-lns and
this would involve an unnecessary ex-
pense, 80 we have considered II mad
yisable to keep reserves more than five

"The Utah Consolidated has never
made such large output as since the
beginning Of 1905, For the month Of
January our copper output was 1900
goo pounds, and for the first 10 days
of February the output was 100000
pounds.
Tho company Is today making 10
cents per pound profit on every pound
OF copper It ia producing, and there
Is every prospect Of the company
