Broward Has Not Acted.

Governor Broward has not yet re-
piled to the letter from the County
Commissioners. in which the testimony
taken in the case of Chairman James
NJ. Andrews, was enclosed. The Board
asked the Governor to remove the party
from the Board upon numerous charges
but the Governor could not take such
action with the Senate in session until
he had thoroughly investigated into
the case. and he asked TO be furnished
with a copy of the charges and testi-
mony. Since then nothing has been
heard from the Governor, and II is pre-
sumed that he is investigating the
matter thoroughly before removing the
officer and asking the concurrence of
the Senate in so doing.

 Further failures and continuation oi liquidation forced values down after the opening but support was extend ed, and the declines were no far fetch ed. The close was strong at about the best of the day. Short covering and the assistance extended the money market by Stillman and Morgan had a strengthening effect. We look for further improvement tomorrow and barring any further had news gradual improvement for some time to come
 Boston coppers made good gains with the close stronger than for a long time. New York Metal Ex- change advanced all grades of copper one-quarter cent and some good buy. ing orders were entered. Efforts to cover by shorts found very little stock for sale around last quotations. Greene Cananea and Superior & Pitts burg were fractionalIy higher on mod crate trading. North Butte led the advance and will carry the rest of the list along with it and if any per manent improvement is seen. Would buy the good coppers for cash on any recession.
 Local curbs continue dull and neg lected at unchanged prices. Improve ment in the general list would be re- flected sooner or later in these issues and we favor purchases at this time as they will be hard to catch on any show of strength.

Although Hecla Is Conceded the Winner Mine Is Allowed

 Boston.--A Boston man now at the Lake writes to friends in the East as follows:
 Tt comes to me from men In the mine that since the Calumet & Hecla suit there has been very little timber ing in the Osceola and conditions in the mine are not of the best at pres ent. Opinions seems to be that the Calumet & Hecla will win it's suit, but that the Osceola mine will not be in the best condition by the time Calumet & Hecla assumes control.
 Men at the Quincy smelter tell me that the company has no copper on hand and that both this company and Calumet & Hecla have sold prac- tically all of their production. People in Houghton are buying small lots of Isle Royale and putting them away. Calumet 6 Hecla and Osceola. from what I can gather, are doing more development work than hitherto, and their October output will show material decreases. Well posted men tell me that Osceola, un- der the management of Calumet & Hecla, may possibly be able to pro- duce copper as low as SIP cents a pound; this, of course, can only be brought about by a saving in sala- ries.

Immense Industry That Gives Railroads Half Their Ton mage Should Be Recognized By Government Department,

JOPLIN, Mo, Oct 25.-The 10th annual session of the American Min ing Congress to be held in this city November II, originated in the west. as the result of the hard times ten years ago, and the organization having gained several points, 1t now asks for a governmental department, be- lieying that when the government is convinced that one half of the ton mage hauled by the railroads is the direct result of mining, heed will be given to their suggestions, as the only national organization representing the mining interests in the United States.
 All of its sessions except that of 1900, which was held fin Milwaukee. have been held in the west, and while Joplin fully appreciates the honor of entertaining the TOO delegates of this distinguished body of men. she also realizes that her guests will lind here a mining camp unlike any other min ing camp in the world, no other one is so accessible. no other plays so i'm portant part in the worlds produc- tion of zinc-one-fourth of the supply is produced here.

Her farms produced over S12,- 00o, 900 in surplus products, we raise the finest stock and the best fruit, and the purest water on earth.
