The following gambling story
from Goldfield seems to he one In
the chain of Weary Willie dreams:
Jack Connor. a soldier of fortune
from Seattle. walked into the Monte
Carlo gambling house yesterday with
his pockets empty This morning he
arose from a faro table and edged
through the dense crowd which for
several hours had watched his dar-
ing play, With $4,000 of the houses
money in his pocket.
Conner had a streak of luck that
would have made yellow dog sick
He had been in Goldfield but few
short hours when he blew into the
Monte Carlo On the floor his eye
connected with ten cent piece. He
picked up the coin from the floor and
walking over TO a nearby roulette

the time, but little attention was
paid to Connors' bet. Seventeen in
the black, drawled the dealer. and
calmly proceeded to take and pay

picked up the money and elbowed his
way TO a faro game Luck was still

the size OF his bets The Monte Carlo

not long in reaching it The pikers
soon quit. and he had the layout to

DEMAND FOR LEAD AND COPPER

According To the recent quarterly
report of the National Lead company,
the pig lead importations during
a0G were 35 900 tons, as compared
with $500 tons in 1909 The re-
port further states that the supply
or lead from Australia and Canada
has fallen off tremendously, as has
also the out put from other countries
that had previously been large pro-
ducers, and this in connection with
the constantly growing demand from
electrical concerns has been respon-
sible for rise In the London quota
ton per long ton of $40 In two years.
Another factor in bringing about the
lead shortage was the belief OF the
producers, when the advance started.
that high prices would not be main
tanned and their consequent partial
neglect OF development work. in IA
vor of turning out large production
for mediate sale AT the higher prices
At the present time the entire pro-
duction of the American Smelling &
Refining company is inadequate TO
meet the needs OF the National Lead
company, and that concern must i'm
port pig lead from all parts of the
world, paying duty therein, in order
to fill the demands of the trade And
these demands are so heavy that OF
ali the lead imported into this coun-
try, practically none finds its way
Out again.
This authoritative statement re-
sardmg the increasing scarcity of
lead should serve TO stimulate lead
mining operations throughout this
country in particular, says the Min
ing Reporter II is also indicative
that the present high price may be
existent for some time.
The copper situation is in striking
similarity to that of the lead. as Is
shown by recent statement. sup

Boy Severely Burned With Powder

James Wilson, the l2-year- old son
of l.. X Wilson, one Of Flat Rivers S
business men, says the Lead Belt News,
was severely burned Monday afternoon
of last week, in the face ald on the

several pounds of powder, which was
ignited by lighted cigarette dropped
into it by another boy named Newman.
The powder was Id can ard had
been taken from the store room of one
of the local merchants to the vacant
lot between Bequette's livery barn and
the river for the purpose of destroying
it An attempt was made to set il off
by means OF string soaked with coal

and would not ignite by the use Of this
kind of fuse, and the can was lrlI

Newman said he dropped the cigarette
in the can ''just to see what it would
do" He was only slightly burned on
the neck, while young Wilson, who
was passing, was the victim Of the eX-
ploson, having his face, hands and
legs burned and his clothing set fire.
He had the presence Of mind TO rush
to the water and thus eXtinguish the
fire that was burning his clothing aud
threatening his life. His face is in Il
terrible shape, but it is not believed
that his eye sight has been injured, al.
though hts eyebrows and much of his
hair was burned off

LONGsHOREMENa ARE BEATEN
Pathetic Scene When Leader AcknowI
edges Defeat.


New York, June 15.-There was a
pathetic scene at the meeting of the
longshorenen, whose strike for. in
creased pay has been declared off.
Patrick Connors, leader Of the strikers,
a~big man who had fought determined
ly for the men, broke down and wept
when compelled to make the acknOWl-
edgment that the men were beaten.
There was a moments silence and
then the hall rang with cheers, for the
leader while many of the men, who
had faced privation in an effort to win
their demands, hurried to the plat
form, shock Connors by the hand and
assured him that he had made good
fight and did the best ne could.
More than 10000 Of the original
10000 strikers who remained firm will
return to work at once. It is believed
all Of the men will secure their old
places, but they must return for the
same pay they received when they
went on strike-30 cents an hour.
They had demanded an increase of 10
cents.
The strike has lasted nearly six
weeks and was a great financial loss
to the steamship companies and to the
workers. The loss in wages to the
1ongshorenen has been close to ST.
