MunicipnI Thrift.

On the way from one town on Cape
Cod to another q contributor to the
Boston Transcript came upon a charm
ing house by the roadside, which Inn
medlately claimed his attention. 1t
bore a fresh coat of white paint, which
was well set off by green blinds. There
was smooth piece Of lawn in front,
group of fine shade trees and ham
mocks. piazza chairs, brilliant sofa pill
lows and all the adjuncts of summer
comfort in luxurious profusion.
"Whose place is thisT' he demanded
Of the boy of twelve who accompanied
him as guide and adviser in general.
"That there?" said the boy. "Oh, that
there's the poorhouse."
"The poorhouse" the man exclaimed
You seem to have luxurious paupers
in this town"
"Well. you see." was the explanation
I'VE hain't got but one. n she's an old
woman. N the overseers they board
her out with one O. the neighbors m

pretty woman, IL she has a mind to be
wicked, can find reader way than

yet Johnson never took women quite
seriously and would not hear of their
assuming an equality with men, either

In n Shot ToMer.

at was a strange experience said
the huntsman AS | ascended the
spiral stairs of the tower | saw shot
falling, like rain. around me. The shot
tower was 200 feet high. At its base
there was a tank of water for the shot
to drop into. If it fell on the earth,
you know, it would be fiat instead of
round. On top of the tower was huge
boiler filed with molten lead. The
manager ladled' the lead into a perco-
lator, a kind of srainer, and thence ii
fell into the cistern Of cold water 200
feet below 1t took it three seconds to
fall. They made different sizes of shot
on the tower by using different perco-
lators-big holes for big shot, small
holes for fine shot, and so on. The wa
ter in the cistern had to be changed
every little while. 1t would have be

They RareI, Fen Trees.

Most of the Spaniards dislike to fell
trees or cut live timber of any sort
and this fact perhaps accounts for the
giant trees of California. The Span
iards two centuries ago pushed their
way through Mexico TO California, and
save the clearing of paths through the
dense forests. not a twig did their axes
chop own. Nor do the Spaniards
transplanted to the new world ever
destroy timber. They CONTINUE to build
their Houses of stone and mortar, at
great expense of money and physical
exertion, when timber in abundance
surrounds them, out of which they
could construct log houses, as did other
pioneers, at a minimum of cost and
labor. The Spaniard does not even fell
trees for firewood, but picks up dead
limbs as they fall to the ground or
pulls them. from the trees with his
Express.

LINCOLN. Advice to Lnwyer..


discourage litigation was Lin
coins advice to lawyers. Persuade
your neighbors to compromise when
ever you can. Point out to them how
the nominal winner is often the real
loser-in fees, expenses and waste Of
time. AS a peacemaker the lawyer has
superior opportunity of becoming a
good man. There will always be enough
business. Never stir up litigation. A
worse man can scarcely be found than
one who does this. Who can be more
nearly a fiend than he who habitually
overhauls the register Of deeds in
search of defects in titles whereon to
stir up strife and put money in his
pocket? A moral tone ought to be in
fused into the profession which should
drive such men out of IT,"
1t has been truly said that those
words should be posted In every law
Office in the land. and it will be seen
when Lincoln's record is fully exam
ined that it was not mere theorist
who wrote them, but an active practi-
toner of wide experience who lived up
to his own teaching.-Frederick Trevor

PROMINENT MINING MEN
Visited Famous Old Producer in Pinal County to Be
 Re-0pened.
TH0S. F. COLE
 MAKES INSPECTION.

The Florence Blade, in speaking of the visit of Thos. F. Cole and party 10 that county last week, says:
 "A party of prominent mining men. composed of Dr. Nelson P. Hulst and Geo. D. Van Dyke of Milwaukee, Jas. Hoatson of Calumet, Mich; T. F. Carson of Seattle, Wash, and Thos. F. Cole of Duluth, Minn., stopped of here Saturday and were registered at the Florence hotel until Sunday morn ing, when in company with c. G. Pow ell of the Florence Commercial Com pany, they drove to the Reymert mine, which is the property of Dr. Hulst and Mir. VanDyke, and 1t was for the purpose of looking after their interests that the two latter visited this section. T. P. Carson of Seat tie, formerly lived here, having been superintendent of the mine. He is tin employed in that capacity.
 "The examination of this property by its owners at this time suggests that it will be opened up as soon as the Santa Fe people begin building their proposed line of railroad from Florence to Superior, and We have no reason to doubt but that 1t will be under way of construction in the near future. The Reymert is but two miles from the survey of the new road and would be among the heaviest shippers. This mine was operated extensively years ago and under the management of Mir. Carson several thousand feet of work was done on it. It was one of the biggest producers in this section and a great wealth of ore was mined and shipped to smelt- CTS with good returns, but the fall in the price of silver made it impossi- ble, with the high rates of transporta- tion, 10 handle the ore on a profit yielding basis, as it is rather low grade, and the property was closed down. There are immense bodies of this low-grade ore blocked out all ready for stoping. with a general aver age of SIS in silver and a fair per cent. of lead, but it contains a num- Der of chutes of much higher-grade ore. There is also a 20-stamp mill on the ground and 1t is in shape for operating.
 MT Carson is thorough mining man and should this property be re- opened, with that gentleman at its head, it would soon take its place in the front rank of producers.
 What significance to attach to the fact of Messrs. Cole and Hoatson be- ing members of the party, We do noI know. They are both mining men,

the present time we believe it is be- ing shipped just as rapidly as it is refined, and no stock whatever is in warehouse.
 Lake Superior copper has also been shipped overland by rail during the winter months. so that there has been no accumulation this year at the lakes, as has been the case in former years, when copper was stored to se- cure the benefit of cheap water trans portation on the opening of naviga- tion. The visible supply in London on March 1 was the smallest on rec ord. and the stock of copper in Eng land, France and afloat thereto from Chili and Australia on January 30, 1903, was 15,99S tons; April 30, 1904, I2,026 tons: April 30, 1905, 1S,055 tons: and February 2S, 1906, only S,946 tons. The Algeciras troubles have prevented the German manufact- urers from buying as freely during the last sixty days as has been their GUS tom, and they will undoubtedly be obliged to buy largely within the next thirty or sixty days, so that we see no possible chance of lower prices for some time to come, and ii is very pos sibie that an actual shortage in the supply will force prices to a higher level in tIfe near future. All of the large producers, as far as we know are opposed to any further advance in the price, but there is very little cop per left in the producers hands avail able fsf the next three or four months and should we have any large demand from abroad or from our domestic manufacturers now, it will undoubt edly result in forcing prices to a higher level than they are at present

MARKET IS WEAKER
Somewhat Irregular, Consider able Stock Offered, But
 Little Bought.
TRADING IS GENERAL
 WITHOUT FEATURES.
ley Frank J. Grail

Bisbee, April 5.-Todays market has been somewhat irregular and at times very weak, with considerable stock offered and no buyers in the market to absorb them. There were persistent rumors late this afternoon tEat the c. & A. had been listed on the Boston Exchange, but this has not as yet been confirmed. We 6o not expect to hear very much tiom this till after the annual meeting or the Calumet & Arizona which will be held or Monday next, and on Tues day the listing committee of the ex- change will also meet. We under stand that there are a number of the Calumet & Arizona stockholders that are not at all anxious to see the same listed.
 There were no particular features in today's market, although some trading was done in most all stocks. Black Mountain fell of and at the close the best bid was SIP, with con- siderable being offered at $12.o0.
 Denn-Arizona is in good demand at SIS, although our eastern friends are after Dem and they will not at the present time bid up for it, they will, however, in the very near future be after this stock when Bisbee will not care to sell.

PHELPS DODGE EXPERT
Says Copper Market at Present k in Very Strong
 Position,
NO LACK OF DEMAND
 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

Tse following statement on the out look for copper made by Mr, James McIean. of Phelps-Dodge .- Company ana unfinished in the New York Sun ,,nder date of March 2Sth. we think win be of special interest. coming as it does from such an authority on the trade:
 ~The copper market at present is in a very strong position, and we can see no signs of any falling off in the demand for several months to come. The good business is not connfied to the copper used for electrolytic pur- poses. but there is an unusual demand for casting copper, which is used for all sorts of foundry work, and goes into a very large variety of articles.
 During the months of January and February the manufacturers and buy CTS of copper were kept from buying their usual quantity of copper for for ward delivery by tn exaggerated re ward delivery by the exaggerated re newspapers of enormous quantities o1 copper likely to be re-shipped to this country from China.
 Since the beginning of March, however, the large manufacturer: have booked very extensive orders for
  the months of May, June and July, so that they have been forced to come into the market and purchase largely to cover these sales Nearly all of the large producers are, there fore, well sold ahead for the next three or four months. but we know of no speculative purchases what ever. and all of the business we have done has been with consumers who have bought no more than their act ual wants require.
 We have no stock of copper on hand at present, and as far as we are able to learn the only copper here at present in any quantity is the copper in the refiners' hands, and until this is refined and ready for shipment Is no more available for manufacturers use than the ore in the mines At
