The following concerning the Shan non Copper company, is from the Boston News Bureau:
 The strength in Shannon Copper stock is based upon the prospective output in 1907 of minimum produc- tion of 2O,OOO,OOO pounds of copper, which, at a profit of 10 cents per pound, would indicate net earnings of S2,000,O00, equal to about $6 per share for the 3OO,OOO shares of stock after fixed charges, and 10 per cent of net earnings for sinking fund re- quirements.
 The Clifton flood, which necessita- ted an 18-day shutdown on the part of the Shannon Co, has cut down the 1906 production by about 750,O0O pounds, and affected earnings to the extent ot about $75,OOO This, how ever, was an unusual flood which was accentuated by the bursting of the Detroit Copper Co. concentrating dam.
 Within 50 days the Shannon Go. will have a third furnace installed in its shelter of a capacity the equal of the tonnage capacity of the pres ent two furnaces. It is installing Wilhey tables in it's concentrating mill which will effect a great saving, and it is treating an improved grade of ore from its mines, all of which works for increased output and lower costs.
 The leading interests in the Shan non Co. say that in 1907 the Shannon should earn S6 per share for its stock and sell in the 30s.

Copper and copper shares continue to boom. The average price of the metal is now about 3 cents, though sales have been made into the middle of the present year at 24 cents, and no less authority than the Boston News Bureau states that spot copper has sold at 25 cents. Copper claims in all districts of note are bound to be in demand. All owners should ex- ert themselves to develop their hold ings during the present year and thus be in position to offer their claims to those who want copper properties. Almost any showing will pay to work at the present time. Local owners should get busy, tor the harvest time has arrived

SNOW And RAIN

once more this city has been visit
ed by a severe snow storm. in severity
almost equalling the incipient blizzard
of a few weeks ago. Early yesterday
morning the flakes began to fall, and
until last evening they steadily sift-
ed down. covering the earth with a
layer several inches in thickness.
AS the day was Sunday, with the
business houses closed in consequence,
the snow was not removed and as a
result the pavements this morning are
covered with a coating Of ice and
snow which win be exceedingly difh-
cult to remove.
During the progress of the storm the
trolley companies got their big sweep
ers into service, with the result that
the hills Of snow which were along the
curb lines have become mountains and
the crossings we're practically obliter-
ated, a condition early remedied, how
ever. before the onslaughts Of force
Of street and sewer workmen.
Fortunately the total fall OF snow
was not sufficient to entirely block
steam or trolley travel, although
schedules were considerably interfered
with. owing to the storm there were

Anti.suicide Bureau.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The idea Of the Salvation Army to
establish an anti-suicide bureau in this
city is a good one and should be en-
couraged by the peop'e Of Wilmington.
Such bureaus are in operation IN other
large cities and much good work has
been accomplished. The result is that
many persons who have entertained the
desire to end their existence by self
destruction have been approached in
time by members Of the army and per-
suaded by acts Of kindness and good,
sound advice to give up their intention.
While IL Is true that Wilmington is
particularly fortunate in regard to the
number Of suicides as compared with
those that occur elsewhere, IL is, new
ertheless. an excellent plan TO have
an organization of persons who are
willing to go among those who are
made desperate by their surroundings
or for other reasons and by encourage
ment and kindness lessen the tendency
among these persons TO commit such
rash deeds There is no doubt that
the work Of the anti-suicide bureau
will in time decrease the number Of
suicides I'm this city, as it has done In
other large communities.
Yours respectfully.

VOTING FOR STRIKE
OR FOR NO STRIKE
P. R. R. Employees Now Bal
lOting as TO Whether They
Will Go Out

To strike or not to strike? That is
the question which is being decided by
the Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen,
representing the employees Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company east of
Pittsburg and Erie. In every branch
lodge Of the brotherhood balloting
either has been going on or will go on
this week, an dit Is expected that the
decision will be announced next Mon
day. The votes will be counted by the
General Grievance Committee in this
city.
The proposal to strike Is the result of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
refusal, on February 10. to grant the
mems demands for shorter hours and
an increase in wages. The conductors
demand IS cents an hour for day work
and S6 cents for night work while the
trainmen want 30 cents an hour for
day work and 81 cents an hour for
night work. The railroad company in
ts recent ultimatum. offered the day
conductors 33 cents an hour and night
conductors "a cents. while the day
brakemen were to get 2S cents an hour
end night brakemen % cents.
In the matter of hours the brake
men are especially concerned. They
contend that they are compelled to
do the work Of firemen, and that they
must submit to the imposition of
longer hours than are just.
Meetings were held by the trainmen
in Philadelphia yesterday to discuss
the situation. At 1914 Arch street the
latter were in session, but it was de-
MED that they were balloting on the
strike proposal They insisted that up
TO the present time their organization
was not Immediately concerned, but
admitted that they. being so closely
associated with the trainmen, would
naturally be interested in the situation.
While it could not be ascertained
from the conductors that they would
strike II the trainmen did so. it was
generally understood that such would
be their action. It was learned that
the conductors would hold a meeting
next Monday. Whether the proposal
10 strike will be formally laid before
them could not ascertained.
Local trainmen were in session in
Irish American Hall last evening dis
cusslng the strike question. They will
meet again tonight and tomorrow

does each man receive II a carpenter
receives seven -elevenths more than a
brlcklayer.
In subsequent issues Of The Journal
saw three results to the problem !
do not recall the first two. but I do

BATTLE ABOUT TO BEGIN.

THE real fight in the Legislature will begin
4 this week The struggle will be, not be-
tween Republicans and Democrats, but between
the agents OF the corporations disguised as pub
lie servants. and those who are there for the peo-
pie The House is showing indications OF de-
sire to deal squarely with the people
The Senate is supposed to be strongly in fa-
vor Of the corporations and will do their bidding
down to the smallest details Bills against their
interests Will 'be either strangled in committee
OF will be killed ON the floor There are ma
iority ef=ihe members in the Senate who are not
OF should not be the tools OF the corporations, but
il seems they yield their opinions and indepen-
dence TO the few members who have direct deal
ings with the corporations
The Senators can be divided into two classes
those who are for the corporations first last and
all the time, and those standing by the people,
The most active and persistent members Of the
senate-Sparks Rose and Conner-are with the
corporations, and Hart and Reed, two new mem
bers, are also on the corporation side. These
five Senators, Speaker Sparks named as the Com
nittee on Revised Statutes, to which is referred
nearly every bill in any way touching the inter
ests of the corporations, and it is not supposed
that any bill opposed by the corporations will
ever get out OF the committee. By process of
repeated unbroken promises, and one excuse or
another the bills are held in that committee until
they are liieless Not even common decency is
shown the bills and their friends They are held
in the committee and the Senate is not permitted
10 vote on them.
But there are some good and strong men in
the Senate whoare supposed to be with the peo-
pie They are Senator's Monaghan, Miller, Nor
rison, Moore, Houston. Barnard Boyoc, Row
land and Lingo. Senators Mendinhall, Jester
and life are claimed by the corporation agents,
but they should be placed more properly in the
doubtful class, The lineup of the Senate will
probably occur very soon. There are number
81 bills pending in the Senate. among them the
bill repeating the special jury law, and another
limiting the service hours OF railroad telegraph
operators, which the corporations have ordered
killed. We await the vote on these bills as we
desire to know and to let the public know just
how and where each Senator stands in his rela-
ton to the corporations and the people
