History Of Rise And Fall Of Copper For

Copper, as c,u be seen by ,oday's Journal Miner quotations from New York, is now in the I3 cent class, Lake selling at 13.s7is to ii.l2is: Electro. lytic nt 1870 to i3.7j, and Casting at I3.37E 10 l3.G2i., the loves, price reached since January I, i9Oi.
 In the past five years. however. cop per has been down to much lower Figure. being quoted at iI.Oi during the Amalgamated slump at the close of 1901 ard early in 1909, and closing the latter year at ll.gO.
 Ths rise and fall of the red metal, Tor the past seven years makes inter csting reading. In January. 1900, cop per opened at l5.ol, there being little variation in the price for that year. or during the greater part of 1901. when it was quoted. in November, at IG.0I. Then came the Amalgamaicd slump. and copper fell to ll.0i within two months. Some lime after this it climb ed to l2.O2 and remained around that figure until January. 1909, when, in three months, it advanced to b.i0, suffering relapse to I2.2O during the following four months, however. and closing the year at li.90. In 1903 there was little variation from the last figures given, but January l. 1901. saw n gradual strengthening of the market. the price climbing by degrees io lt.7o during the year.
 After enjoying a slow advance dur ing the next year. January ], l"00' saw copper quoted at is.3O, and on the same date in 1907, at 22.9O. In March of this year copper reached it' maximum of valuc, being held at 25.2o lis dizzy descent to its present vnlu' of almost half thn' price. IS loo recent history to need recording.

Government to Continue Its lnvestigative
 Forest Work
Reports Indicate Much Stock Lost Through
 Poisoning
(From Saturdays Daily.)

That the poisonous plant investi- native work now being carried on by Inc Forest service in the different na- ,ional forests throughout the west has awakened widespread interest IS strongly illustrated by the increasing number of applications for new range examinations from users of the na- t,onal forests.
 Although this branch of the Pores; service work is still in its inception il being comparatively short time since the plan was initiated, good pro. sress has already bccn made. A thor. uuph examination of the Manii Ma ,minations of the IIuachuca in Ari- lnna. Black Hills in South Dakota, and The Holy Gross in Colorado. have been made and much very valuable in- formation in regard to the plants most dangerous to stock has been secured. l is the intention Of the forester .o continue the work throughout the com. me season. and ii will undoubtedly result in series oi important discov- cries that will lead to the reduction of the loss of range stock from poison uus plants to minimum.
 In an application for an examination of poison areas in the Park Range and Sierra Madrc forests in Colorado and Wyoming, 1t Is reported that the value of sheep lost during the present season within a comparatively small area from poisonous plants is not less than si5,0OO, there being TBS head of sheep los; out of one band, ij0 ou' of another, and n number of smaller losses from other herds. Heavy lossc' of cattle have been reported from Colo rado, also.
 While the work oi investigation hoi been confined {, the national forest inc results obtained will be cquall, beneficial and applicable to the user of uurcscrved public lands, as th' poisonous plants are different specie of two ar three generic families am inc discovery of an antidotc for, or means of cradieaiihg or checking th growth of one species will apply equal ly well to the others.

Prospects Good For The Development Of Big
 Copper Bodies
(from Saturdays Daily.)

Encouraged by the splendid results obtd'ned by the Giroux < Hook syn. dicatc aud other large operating con cerns in the Copper Creek section of the Eureka district. in the past year, Homer k. Wood, William Lawlcr, A. ]. Pickrcll and Van IT.

 The claims are known aS the Com bination group. It covers n series of schist and monzonitc porphyry dykes, some of which are ROO fee, in width on the surface and over lj0 feet in height. In one place there Is m out cropping of gossar, easily traced for n distance of iO.5OO feet along the sur- face, and over JD feet in width for q grcnt part of the distance. In the var ious location shafts and prospect holes copper ore is exposed, indicating that when inc zone of secondary enrichment is gained bodies of copper ore will bc encountered.

NECESSITY OF A PACIFIC FLEET.

NECESSITY OF A PACIFIC FLEET.
II the United States had a powerful
fleet in the Pacific, one corresponding
to its interests in that part of the
world, there would be no chance for
Jingoes to stir up unpleasant sensa-
tons and friction. and the Japanese
dnquietudes would be allayed by So
Der sense of responsibility. Prepared
mess is great peacemaker. a fact
especially emphasized in the papers of
President Washington. Holding large
feet at every outlying point exposed to
secret concentration and attack is i'm
possible, but our navy is too far from
the Pacific when 1t must double long
:. continent to get there. Japan holds the
short line not only against the Philip
pines Hawaii and much of Alaska, but
could, at this time, place any of our
Pacific forts on the defensive. The
eventual outcome OF any such assault
is scarcely in question, but this coun-
try was Inundated in 1914 by the de-
struction ofNits capital, notwithstand-
ling the latent strength and resources.
Threats on the Pacific, whether real
cor worked up by jingoes, must neces-
ssRrily arouse attention until our fight
ing force on that ocean represents
something positive. Japan has possi-
bly, developed a purpose to assert it
self as a world power, IL not as the
arbiter of the East and the Pacific It
has strong navy in the Pacific and
we have not. Consequently anything
that Japan may propose will be in a
certain sense one-sided, no matter
, what the intent. 1t is a pity that the
old friendly attitude Of the two ma
lions should be disturbed or that ia
pan, on the strength of the resistance
IT offered to Russia's territorial de-
signs. should change its old position of
national defense and peaceful develop
ment to one of exaggerated ambition
and over self-estimate. Perhaps II has
no such tendency in its supreme au-
thority: but. in any case, the United
states must remedy it's present de-
fenselessness in the Paciic,-Globe-
Democrat.
