PROSPERITY FATAL
TO TON LONGBOAT I?

Tom Longboat again commands the at
tention OF the followers OF athletics, as
narrated IN the Boston Herald as fol-
lows:
II Tom Longboat follows the path that
he Is reported to be running ne VIII soon
be out Of the public eye. IL Is Socka-
lexis over again. Environment means
much with an Indian. Look at the
Carlisle School Indians. II is rarely, If
ever. that we hear anything discred-
liable about any OF the famous athletes
Of the celebrated Government school.
BY the way. an interesting story IS
told about Longboat in connection with
the b. A. A. Marathon. When he was in
Springfield. two days prior &c the run,
DR.. J. II. McCurdy examined him. TAX
ing q blood test. and found him in bad
shape. He told Manager Ashley that he
was not At for the race. but Mr. Ashley
merely said: Come out and see him
do a five-mile trial"
The Indian started on thls trial, but
collapsed at two and a half miles nd
later tainted twice when they attempted
another blood test And Yet two days
later he showed stamina ana speed that
was the wonder OF the thousands who
saw him run.
1t must have been car sickness that
made Longboat collapse IN Springfield,
as ne was unaccustomed 10 travelling.

LOOKS FOR SOME CONCESSION
 SOON
July 1 Expected to Tell Wheth- CT Price Reduction In Copper Will Be Made by the Big Producers.

BOSTON, June 27.-C Concessions in d1e price of ooppe- will proi.ably be made within the next two weeks. At lae moment the iSss-sssses consumers and the large producers are in conference with regard to the size of the eonces. sion. strange as 1t may seem, the snsnufacturers whose agents are book ing orders for finished goods on che basis of 8 25-eent copper market are anxious that the proposed reduction shall not be severe, as such a course would mean confusion in general cop per trade circles
 Those best posted in the trade look for a uectine within the next month to at least z cents per pound.
 While the consumers have not over I5 to 30 days supply of copper and generally keep from four to six months working stock available, they are so djssTastfal of present and fu- ture business conditions as to hold aiucf from the market entirely, be- Heving 1t will be just as well fer tikeAn 1o coser actual necessities at siae latest possible time. There IS in consequence hardly bid to be found in the market Inquiries extending over the last six months of the calen- siar year are heard only spasmodical- Iy and then for small quantities.
 The Calumet & Hecla Co. is not of fering copper at this time, and will probably not be in the market again 1his month It has sold copper for delivery into July, but. general speaH ing, it's production has not been sold beyoad Jaiy l. The policy of this company at present time is waiting one. It prefers, as for two years past, iEe see what the ether selling compa- nies will do before making its price.
 One of the largest producers in this country says: "It would be abso- IHtely silly to attempt to forecast the probable action of the copper market for the last six months of this year. General business conditions will be the determining factor, and whether there has been sufficient reaction in trade to bring the consumption of copper below Ehe production is some thing which no man can at this time determine.
 sI should like to see 20-cent cop per market, but I do not care to be fhe first to quote g 5-cent reduction zn price from the figure which has so long prevailed.
 Tt has happened in the past, and

HEIAzE HAS SNAP
 IN BINGHAM MINE
Will Use Electric Motors and Be Independent of the
 Railroads.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 27.-- When F. Augustus Heinze gets his plans worked out for the Ohio Copper Co. in Bingham, he will have one of the most attractive copper proposi- tions in Bingham. He will not be at the mercy of the transportation com panies, like the Utah Copper and Bos- ton companies are, to get ore in sui ficient quantity to keep the mill in operation. for the reason that after being broken down in the mine, it will be conveyed through the Mas cott tunnel of the Dalton & Lark mine direct to the mill in cars drawn by electric motors. There will be 10 expensive pumping machinery but m ample supply of water will be ob- tained from the Maseott tunnel The Ohio ores are also less difficult to treat, and can be handled, therefore, very economically.
Bisbee daily review., 1907-06-28

more ore there"
 Under the circumstances it is very likely that the era of fiYe-cent copper production for the Utah Consolidated is oyer The company henceforth will be compelled to come up to the level of other copper producers. This may mean ten-cent copper; it may mean greater cost in extraction, owing to the necessity of raising this ore, and also a cost of keeping the lower levels of the mine free from water by pumping. Both these will be unusual expenses, and will tell in the profits"
 The Boston News Bureau quotes the above from the salt Lake Tri- bune, not because it endorses it. but because 1t is not anonymous and is the nearest thing geographically to an official statement that can be had.
