Fine New Academy.

President Andrew Kimball, of the
st. David Stake Academy Board, an
nounces that the board is taking
steps for the erection of a fine new
academy building at Thatcher. 1t is
expected to construct a handsome
structure costing about $4,000, and
with every facility and equipment
for teaching advanced studies.
1t has been found that the present
building is inadequate to present
needs. A considerably increased at
tendance is expected during the
coming winter, as great interest is
displayed in the work of the academy
in all parts of the stake.
The present building will be sold as
soon as the new one is completed.
The members of the board are
commercially active in advancing
the cause of education and their eff
forts will doubtless be heartily
seconded by the people of the stake.

prices of all commodities, including
copper, will undoubtedly decline
somewhat. There is unlikely to be
anything of the nature of a break in
copper prices. If consumers adopt
the hand-to- mouth practice of buying
prices will probably remain at their
present level for two or three months
and then recede gradually to about
% cents and possibly to 20 cents at
the end of the year. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that some of the
highest authorities in the trade .ex-
press the strongest confidence that
the market will not drop below %
cents this year.

Threatens the Globe Belt.

The following article from the Ari-
IONA Silver Belt, published at Globe,
is self-explanatory:
"The Silver Belt is in receipt of an
anonymous letter telling the proprie-
tor that he-or the paper, whichever
is meant-is marked man, because
of the Silver Belts ISLANDERS of for
eigners." Owing to misconception
of the assassin's code by the writer,
which leads us to suppose that the
writer is a mere novice at the bust
ness-in fact, a rank amateur-we
cannot inspire ourself with the
proper amount of fear which is due
such missive. In the first place the
letter was not written in human
blood and instead of being signed by
the "Black Hand,'' two blue hands
we're affixed as a signature. Now
two blue hands may be infinitely
worse than one black hand, but until
we are further enlightened on the
subject we are compelled to ignore
the warming
Also the fact that there were no
skull and crossbones or coffin pictured
on the epistle of warning demon
strates the ignorance of the sender.
''As to the presumed motive of the
bloodthirsty writer, he has probably
misconstrued certain articles which
have appeared in these columns.
The Silver Belt is not apologizing for
anything it has ever said on this sub
ject and never will, Several weeks
ago we published an editorial in
which the influx of foreigners to
Globe was deprecated, and although
no prejudice, which might be con-
strued as SANDER, was expressed, the
Silver Belt did state that Americans
should be given preference over for
eigners in securing positions in the
mines. The letter received at this
office convinces us that our views
then expressed were correct and we
abide by them despite the intimidat-
iug efforts of all the red or black or
b!ue-handed, iag-iusulting, govern
ment destroying, anarchists in the
United States, Europe, Asia or

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

Copper is dull, and, so far as posi-
tive information can be secured,
there is no change in price. Lake is
held at 26 cent by the largest pro-
ducers, and electrolytic at 254 cents
per pound. Consumers are holding
aloof and waiting. They are not
fully satisfied that they will be
obliged to pay quoted prices for their
July and August copper. The ex-
pected strong demand from abroad
has so far failed to put in its ap-
pearance. 1t seems that consumers
must come into the market soon,
however, and it is known that there
is no accumulated surplus which can
be used to depress prices.
Three important producing inter-
ests who were seen this week stated
that the market was inactive. They
were holding their copper deliveries
at 254 and '26 cents for electrolytic
and lake: they are all sold ahead well
into next month and are delivering
their production to consumers as
rapidly as it is refined; but they ad-
mitted that they were getting no
bids for copper; that they were not
even having inquiries from con-
sumers.
This situation is not difficult one
to understand. All of the important
consumers were buyers two or three
months ago, and they bought their
May and June supplies of copper at
that time. The metal is coming to
them now as rapidly as they need it,
and because of the unsettlement in
the financial world they evidently
have determined that for a while, at.
least, they wi IL adopt what is known
as the hand-to-mouth practice of buy
ing. This means that they will not
contract for copper except for i'm
mediate or nearby delivery, and will
take no chance of being caught in a
declining market with large stocks
of metal on hand.
One important copper producing
interest says he does not expect to
see any material increase in produc-
ton this year. He declares that the
present generation will not live to
see another T5-cent copper market.
A representative of the interests

being put out by certain New York

"A cents in this country, and copper
can be bought at the equivalent of
this price on the London Metal Ex-
change. [ hear that wire makers
are less active, and in some few
cases consumers have asked to have
deliveries of copper deferred a
month. Consumers will have to come
into the market within the next ten
days for their July copper, and it it
hard to make predictions on the
future of the market until they re-
veal their attitude on future con-
tracts"
The unfavorable crop reports, de-
Ginning security markets and the
practicable impossibility to sell
bonds and raise new money for rail
road AID industrial expansion, are
factors that must be reckoned with.

reaction in general business the

Earnings today are surprising all
records and yet the copper shares in
the stock market are languishIng I'M
der the absence of buying orders, the
result, in large measure, of the con-
tinued liquidation in the New York
market.
Uncertainty prevails regarding the
future of the copper metal market
for the balance of the year, and this
tends to restrain any buying at this
level. For the first six months the
average will be somewhere in the
neighborhood of % and "a cents.
Buyers are exceedingly wary just at
this time and will not contract far

The surp!uses Of the Copper companies.

Never before in their careers have
the big producing copper companies
been able to present a showing of
net liquid assets-cash and copper
which could approach their condition
today. The high copper market has
of course made extraordinary earn
ings possible, but all these earnings
have not been paid out in dividends.
Large sums have been expended for
construction and the balance carried
to surplus.
The Anaconda Copper company re-
Gently reported for the year ended
December 81 surplus of 50, ,24l.
This, however, is purely a book
keeping surplus. In the case of
Anaconda it's net quick assets are
really the tangible surplus, and at
the date of the last annual report
this item amounted to no less than
$I4,213,91S.
Calumet & Hecla has at the present
time surplus which approximates
$Is, 1000, 900, of which 100000 repre-
sents Investments made during the
past year or two. The remaining
$1,000, 900 is cash and copper.
1t may be of interest to set down
in tabular form the SURPRISES of the
more important copper producing
companies as of date in the majority
of cases December 81, 1906. These
figures show a strong treasury posi-
ton, Notwithstanding the large divi-
dends paid during the year. The
