A GOOD HOME RECORD.

Mr.. Cope, who is to appear on our
lecture course Oct. II, holds the re-
cord for return dates in his home
state, Michigan. He has given seven
hundred and sixty. eight entertain
ments in Michigan for which he re-
ceived pay. This means that he aver
aged three times TO the number of
towns in which he has appeared. He
has appeared thirty-six times in De-
troit, sixty in Albion, seven in Sagi-
nav, eleven in Bay City, eight in Lang
ing, and a certain twenty towns he
has appeared on an average of ten
times each. With a record at home
like this, il is no wondar he has prov
ed so successful since he has been
offered to a wider territory and now
appears in over half the states in the
Union each year. This year be is book
ed more extensively than ever and
will appear in many of the large,
cities of the country. He will speak
every night from the Ind Of October
until May 9Th, allowing him only five
days for him to be at home during
the holidays when he will be glad to
see CHS smile, as he calls his wife
You know Nh. Cope's smiles are the
kind that don't come off, hence his
nickname for Mrs. Cope. During the
summer months, when Mr.. Cope stays
for three and eve five days at one
Chautauqua Assembly and gives a
series of talks, Mrs. Cope accompan.
les him.

COMING CAMP
Mines Being Developed by Nstlons
 Consolidated Metal Company

oNStoilN NlltcUON lIoih N'A'i'0' WI" the west side of che Patagonia mountains. at the foot of the trail that crosses over to Mowry through the Smuggler Pass, the National Consolidated Mining Company Is doing deal of development, and making a showing that Is very gratifying to those who have the enterprise in hand. They have nineteen claims, aggregating 3S0 acres. Through those claims run four large veins, two carrying good paving values in gold, one being rich in lead and silver and the fourth carrying gold, copper, lead and silver Upon one of the claims twenty-seven assays taken in all parts of the workings without any effort to pick good samples, yielded an average of $23.SS per ton in gold. The ledge thus sampled is fromdhree to six feet in width, and has been developed by extensive workings. It crops out on the crest of ridge in such a way that it is easily opened to considerable depth by a tunnel. At the foot of the ridge an open cut has taken out the ledge or vein distance of forty feet. There the tunnel begins An assay taken there gave S3S.25 per ton in gold. The tunnel has penetrated 102 feet. At that point 1t is intersected by a shaft from the surface which is thirty.nine feet deep at the tunnel level An assay taken there showed $29.56 in gold. At a distance of 40 feet beyond that shaft is another that is seventy feet in depth. At the surface there the ore assayed eighty cents per ton, and at the depth of thirty feet assays went S3S per ton. The very highest assay taken showed S262,S4, and there were several above S60 per ton. A very moderate estimate of the ores developed by that work gives the value of the ore body already developed as exceeding $l00,00000 in net value, in that claim alone; and development cannot be said to be fairly com menced. The claim is named the National No. 3.
 The silver claim upon which the most important developments have been made is named the Silver Glance" ." Through the ground run two parallel veins. From one ores have been extracted that yielded 74 per cent copper, $3S gold per ton, and ten ounces in silver. The other yields ore that assays SIS gold, 40 per cent lead and 94 ounces silver per ton. Ex tensive development is going on in both ledges.
 Other workings on other claims show good results. Altogether there are more than 2,000 feet of work upon the properties, and more being added daily.
 Mir. Oscar E. Porter of Chicago, Illinois, is president of the com pany, and Mir. Alfred Thurtell of the same city, is treasurer. The office is at 420 Milwaukee avenue.
 It Is the intention of the com pany to erect reduction plant in the near future, and put the prop erty in the list of producers at the earliest possible moment. The ore in the gold vein described herein Is a very friable rock, easily bod Al.

Ieen corrected shows that they were
known to be illegal by the men
responsible for them. OF course, i,
is unnecessary to consider the ques-
ton OF morality involved, for If that
received consideration the abuses
would not have crept into our sys-
tenn of business.
Neither can one doubt that many
abuses still remain undiscovered;
nor can there can doubt that they
will continue to be practiced until
the strong hand of the law forces
the lawless corporations to obey
the statues just as ordinary folks
are forced TO observe them.
The Standard Oil Company is only
one of the trusts which has gained
control of an important product
through an illegal combination with
the transportation companies. BY
the methods pointed on, in the Gar

stifled in many fields of human en-.

pose to do about the matter? Will
