IN THE NATIONAL FIELD.

Ota1 correspondence. ;,
| Washington, d. c.. June 5.--Tht
most significant event of the week has
been the election Of Dr.. Booker T
Washington as a trustee Of Howard
University. The incident came as a
complete surprise to most people and
has attracted widespread attention in
all quarters and has provoked no end
of discussion.
| For the moment, as might have been
| expected, the extreme wing of the
friends of the higher education af,
fected to be daZed, and their first i'm
pulse was to sound Scare-cry that
the "timehonored policies of Howard
are gone" and that the races fore
most institution for the higher train
ing will now be induStrialized," and
conjured up other predictions equally
as direful and not less fallacious The
thoughtful people OF the District of
Columbia, however, are not easily
stampeded and this feeble effort to
start something" at the expense Of
THE Wizard" didn't last the day ont.
The consensus of opinion among the
substantial elements of the body 20
little soon crystaliZed into a feeling
that in thus securing the active c.
operation of so powerful a force in the
educational and economic life of the
nation as Booker T. Washington, the
Board has scored the biggest triumph
of its career, and has brought to the
higher training of. the race an I'M
parelleled piece of good fortune. There
is a sense of satisfaction all around
that the one man who has been re-
garded by many as the foe of the
species Of education for which How
ard University has always stood is
now enrolled among it's stauch friends
and they feel assured that much of the
energy and superb resourcefulneSS
that he has put into the work of in
duStriallSm will now be brought to
bear upon the more intellectual side
of the Negroes development There is
no thought expressed that Dr. Wash
ington will be less emphatic as to the
value of the industrial training for
the Masses but the acceptance of
this trust indicates that he is of that
breadth of calibre as to realize that
the best results will come from the
adoption of a double standard of ra-
cial advancement, which shall not
neglect the making of leaders while
building up a strong army of indus
harm to historic Howard, the Access
sion of DR.. Washington is conceded to
be the most helpful thing that has
happened to the school in many years.
1t has given the institution strength.
morally and financially, that could
not have come to it from any other
source, and the cause of higher edu-
cation has been given an impetus that
will show forth in an increased en-
thusiaSm on the part of both the fac
ulty and the students, actual and pros
pective. The Board which elected Dr.
Washington as coadjutor is receiving
the congratulations Of race through
out the land upon it's wisdom and
business Sagacity.
Other trustees added to the Board
at this session were Prof. j. H. N.
Waring, of the Baltimore High and
Training School; DR.. J. f. Mooreland,
international secretary of the Y. NJ
G.. A., and John H. Converse, of Burn
ham, Williams & Co., proprietors Of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Phil
adelphia.

MARKET CONTINUES
 ID BE L|FELESS
Cah-Ariz, Sells Ex-Divined To- day-Wanen Traded In
 to Some Extent.
CBy Frank J. Graf.)

The local market continues to be lifeless although traders are getting back into the market. but with some uneasiness, but we think that the mar ket will react as soon as the New York and Boston markets show better strength. Calumet & Arizona oUsned strong at s192.00 and the market taking all stock offered very well. but toward the close there was too
 many thar expected to see the stock sell eX-dividend and unloaded. This stock will sell ex-dividend some tune tomorrow. Superior & Pittsburg has been offered freely the greater part Of the day at $26.0O with few takers. Denn-Arizona is lifeless and looks as if it might see lower prices. This however. is hard to tell. and think stock bought at SIS would be a good buy. Shattuck is overlooked at the present time although being held very firm. American is being offered al $17.00 with few buyers at S16.50, but not enough to warrant any par. tiCular strength. Warren has been handled the greater part of the day al S14.25. but think at these figures 1t ought to be bought up. Globe at pres ent figures. I think ought to be bought on general principles. Greene Consolidated sold ex-dividend a; 5000. Greene-Cananea went to par today. and I am of the opinion that if this stock is not worth today
 price. it is not worth anything. Cana nea Central sold as low as S32.0O
 Butte & Arizona declined considerable
 today. sales being made at S1.65 al
 the close of the market. The unset tied conditions at Butte have caused
 many holders of the Butte & Arizona to sell out their holdings to realize l cash but if they knew the exact con
 ditions of the property I am inclined to believe that they would hold on | rather than sell at the present fig ] ure.

CRITICISM OF REID uNFoUNDED


 E.oNDON. Feb 2S.-Surprise is hard lv the word t'5 express the feeling of Americans III London as the outbursts against WhitfJaw Reid, the United States ambassador. in certain New York papers.
 It would seem almost an axiom that na American can do well in foreign post without some section or other of his .countrymen finding cause for dis satisfaction This was evident even in the time of Benjamin Franklin. As late as the time of MT. Bayard and Mir. Choate it was still in existence, and today il was again revived.
 in the case of Whitelaw Reid the cause of the outcry would seem, how. ever. this time, to be rather different from what is usual. MT. Choate was objected to by New York because he was too popular" But strangely enough, the grievance against Mir. Reid would appear to be that he is unpopu lar-and, of ali reasons, with King Ed ward.
 It Is a well known fact that Mir. Reid during his stay here, has made him self more liked by English society than any previous ambassador that America has ever sent, and as for the king, those who are behind the scenes make no secret of the fact that he re gards MT. Reid as one of his persona friends, and as far as he can, without ofefnse to the other members of tht diplomatic corps, sees as much of hin as he is able.

PHELPS DODGE SAVED OLD
 DOMINION
Reflections As To Organization Misleading and Do a Wrong To Company That Succored Old Concern.

Globe. Ariz.-The published state Eents of injustice to the stockholders of the Old Dominion Co. of New Jer- sey, through the organization of the Maine Go. and the attempted merger of the United Globe with the old Do minion Co, are very misleading and unfair to the Phelps-Dodge Co.
 II should be remembered by dis gruntled stockholders that when Phelps-Dodge Co. came to the relief of the Old Dominion, its treasury was empty, the company was heavily in debt, and the mine flooded and in a precarious condition. The shares of the old Dominion Co. declined to s5, and. had it not been for the money ad- vanced by Phelps, Dodge & Co, and their able management in rehabilitat- ing the Old Dominion mine and in giv- ing it the most complete equipment possessed by any mine in the South west, the, splendid physical condition of the Old Dominion today might ney- CT have been attained and it is not i'm probable the property would have been sold for debt.
 The Old Dominion is now one of the greatest copper mines in the country, with ore bodies opened six years ahead-largely due to the splendid management of Phelps, Dodge 6 Co.
 As to the attempt to belittle the val ue of the United Globe properties, either vii fully or through ignorance. the point sought 10 be made is erro- neous. The United Globe has an area greater than the Old Dominion, and has mines of demonstrated value. such as the Hoosier and the Gray, Do
 F.Tr ings Fault. Buckeye, Carrie and True Blue on Buckeye Fault. Big Johnny, and Yuma on Big Johnny Fault. as well as others of promise.
 Most of these are producers, supply ing tonnage to the Old Dominion smell ter. Bad roads the past few months have restricted shipments. Opera tions in the lower levels of the Gray have been hindered by water, the pow CT plant being insufficient to pump 1t and furnish power for regular work. Large boilers are now being installed and the sinking of the B shaft has now progressed nearly 1000 feet. and other important developments in the East end of the Old Dominion has been done in anticipation of a merger being ef' facted and with a view of developing known or eveins in the west part oi the United Globe as well as in Old Dominion. ground. but a suit to enJoin the merger has for the time being pre- vented
 The United Globes location on the Globe upper belt is ideal and 1t would indeed be surprising if several large producing mines should not be devel oped within the company's extensive territory. If the United Globe is con demned by self-constituted authorities in Boston there would appear to bf small chance for any of the other com paaies which have invested million: for development of contiguous territo " to be successful, and further effort. on their part might as well be aban doned.

MUCH ORE IN SHAFT
 OF ARIZONA NATL
Letter From Globe Is Good
 News to Holders of Bonds In That Company,

A letter received in Bisbee yester- day from Globe states that the shaft in the Arizona National has penetrated forty two feet of the ore encountered some time since and is still in ore Assays show an average of 12 per cent. copper so Arizona National may be considered among the probable pToduc- CTS of the Pinto Creek section.
 Many of the bonds of the Arizona National are held in Bisbee and yicin- ity, having been placed here thTouph the agency of James Brogan who acted as fiscal agent for the company.

GREENE GOLD-S|LvER
 DELAYED DIVIDEND

The Greene Goid-Silyer company has paid the deferred dividend of { per ceat. s0 cents per share on its preferred stock. which was due on September 20 last. but which at that time had not been earned. says Boston dispatch,
 The company ia now earning more than tho amount required to pay the dividends on the preferrod stock out. standing, and in the report recently issued to stockholders, President Greene states the dividends on the S per cent cumulative preferred stock of the company win be promptly paid as they como due hereafter. on the 26th day of March and September, re- spectiyely. This will make total of $1.20 per share that win be paid to the holders of the preferred stock Of the Greene Gold-Silver company dur ing the present year,
 Small Amount of Preferred Issued.
 At present there are outstanding only 62,039 shares of the preferred stock. leaving 2S7 .96i shares unissucd in the treasury of the company.
 It is understood that operations at the Concheno-Navidad group of mines are now netting the company about S3500 a day.
 Concheno Producing.
 The s0-stamp (100O lbs) mill at the Concheno mine has been in contin- uous operation since early in January and is treating about 2A tons of ore per stamp, or a total of 1S5 tons a day.
 In most of his report to the New York office, the superintendent of the Concheno mine says:
 We got the mill started within twelve hours after the transfer and now have sixty stamps dropping on the real thing. The Nayidad devel- opment (this being a part of the Con cheno mine) has turned out splendid ~. On the 100-foot level from the shaft, we have opened up drift ot TAO feet in length, that carries an av- craze from wall to wall, thirty feet, or S17, United States currency, as against s15 heretofore; and ths most remarkable part of it Is that two thirds of the values are in gold in- stead of silver, which has previously been the case. Furthermore the gold increase is particularly noticeable drifting westward toward the Con cheno mill"

COPPER eERMANENcY.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 2S.-It is now universally conceded here that the great development and importance of the copper mining industry has been accorded signal recognition in the re cent action of the New York Stock Ex- change in providing for the listing of high-gTade copper stocks. There is little reason to believe that the su- premacy of the Boston market has been threatened. or that Boston has anything to lose by this wholesome en- arrangement to legitimate stock trad ing on sound and solid foundations The feeling here regarding the per maneney and future of the copper mar. ket was never better than at present
