LACK OF CONFIDENCE
 EXISTS SOMEWHERE
Selling Pressure of Late Satur. day Renewed Yesterday
 For Some Reason.
(By Frank J. Grail

The opening Of the stock market for the coming week was just as ex- pected and sellers took advantage of the same, early Saturday and kept it up today. Although money is nor nal yet there seems to be a lack of confidence somewhere and the mar ket still remains in the hands of the manipulators. This is the case with Denn and Shattuck the last week, but who is behind it is hard to tell. Shat tuck today was bought up at s15.00 when just Few days ago the east was after it from $1675 to s17.00. Denn-Arizona although a trifIe weak. does not show any particular selling. or unloading of stock. The demand is fair and there is no special effort to lower the stock. It is evident that those selling Denn at this price are in need of cash and those who buy up at these prices are certainly get. ting the benefit of Q good purchase. Greene Cananea has been firm at s6 many sales being reported at S6.12. Superior & Pittsburg hold firm at s9. with none coming out under that fig. ure- The demand is fair.

INCREASE IH GOLD
 OUTPUT OF TERRITORY
Government StatiStcs Show That Arizona Production
 Has Grown.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The pro duction of both gold and silver in Arizona in 1906 was in excess of that in 1905, according to the statistics col lected by the United States geological survey.
 The gold production amounted to S2, ,964 .6S3, an increase of $1e5, ,469. Somewhat less than one-half oE this production came from Yavapai coun- ty, which includes the Prescott min ing region.
 Mohave, Cochise and Yuma coun- ties come next, none of the remain ing counties reaching the S100,00o mark. In Mohave and Yuma eoun- ties the larger part of the gold is de rived from siliceous ores, while in Cochise fiye-sixths of the gold Is de rived from copper and lead ores.
 In Yayapai county somewhat more than one-fourth is derived from sili- ceous ores, the remainded from cop per ores. For the state as a whole approximately the same amounts of gold are derived from siliceous ores and from copper ores. The placer production approximates $40 900 de- rived partly from dry washings. On the whole the mining industry experi- enced a successful year. The mining of siliceous ores yielded less than In 1905, but there was an increase from copper ores and also from lead ores. Unless the production of silieeous ores greatly increases there Is reason to expect a small decline in gold pro duction in 1907.
 Silver was produced to the amount of 3,026,43S Fine ounces. Cochise county leads, closely followed by Yav- apsi, both approximately 100000 ounces. Next follows Gila, with 1I0,- O9S ounces and Graham, with IS7,045 ounces. The great copper mines at Clifton and Globe furnish large part of the silver output in Graham and Gila counties. The Cochise county product is almost evenly distributed between the copper ores of Bisbee and the lead ores of Tombstone and other camps. Siliceous ores contribute a large amount to the silver recovered in YaYapai county. As the silver or Arizona is predominately derived from copper ores, it is likely that reduc- ton of the copper output for 1907 will adversely affect the output of si4rer.

According to reports Amalga- mated will continue to produce same amount of copper by increasing the Boston & Montana and will be able to produce it cheaper.

 Bisbee, Dec. 9. 1907. The market for the opening of the week made further declines and the listed stocks all showed weakness. Amalgamated sold off two points on account of the shut down of some of it's properties. North Butte and old Dominion also showed lower figures. The curbs are holding fairly well and while stocks seem ti be mere plentiful than last week prices are not much affected.
 Superior & Pittsburg. Greene Can anea, Denn and Warren are in good dem2nd and many of the traders are svailing themselves of the opportunity of picking up some cheap stocks Oh this recession.

NOT THE RAILROADS. WAY.

That is an interesting story com
ing from Richmond to the effect
that the railroads will probably
submit TO the two-cent rate. If
the Corporation Commission orders
1t, and make no further contest.
We are sorry TO say we do not be-
lieve word of that. The railroads
are not in the habit of submitting
until they have gone to the last
court, and we believe they will go
in this case, and keep going as long
as they have Il leg to stand on.
They believe in fighting, it is part
of the railroad training, and not
one railroad man in a thousand has
the bent of mind to see anything
but the railroads side of question.
due to their training as indicated
above. That may be the better
course, taken as a general rule of
action, but it is certainly unfortu-
nate that railroad men as a class
cannot sometimes look at railroad
problems from the standpoint of
the peoples interests; it would
save the railroads from falling into
many grievous errors. There are
times when railroads ought to stand
firm and defend themselves to the
last ditch, but there are many
times when they ought to yield.
The reduction in rates is one of the
things on which they should meet
the demands of the people in a spirit
ofcompromise, andyeild something
to popular demand that is based
on sound reasoning, and which is
sure to be yielded in the end.

Secret Of the Poor Performances nj

Secret Of the Poor Performances NJ
HIGH Class Concert.
Musical critics sometimes complain
OF what they call the roughness OF an
orchestral performance without always
considering that the cause may be
found In the Instruments rather than
In the performers" AZ least so says the
leader OF n St Louis organization.
There was some criticism OF the or
chestral numbers given at a concert last
winter. but I know that the fault was
not that of the men SO much ms OF the
instruments. Almost every player has
at least two. sometimes three or four,
instruments. and one at least Is the
best he can afford TO buy. This Is es-
peclally true I'm the case of the strings.
FOR accidents will happen. and TO be pre-
pared against them string players have
usually two or three violins-one for
ordinary work. like teaching, dancing
and rehearsing. and a superior violin
for solos and concerts.
"Now, IL happened that on the even
Ing of the concert In question the
weather was atroclous. IL was snow
ing and sleeting and raining by turns.
A genuine violinist thinks about as
much OF his best fiddle rs he does OF
his youngest child. and SO on the con-
cert night the string player thought to
himself that he wouldn't take out his
good fiddle 1t might get damp or he
might fall eff the street car with IL
and smash IL TO splinters, so he resolved
to leave IL at bone and take his every
day fiddle, thinking that In the ensem-
BILE nobody but himself would notice
the difference.
but every other string player
thought the same thing. so most OF
them left their best violins at home
and brought their practice Instruments.
The public didn't notice the difference,
but the players and the leader did. and

The Winchester Normal.
Winchester, Va,
March 81, 1907.

To the Teachers of Clarke County
Virginia.
take this medium to inform you
that the Department of Public In
struction has decided to hold a
summer normal in the city of Win
chester again this year, for the sole
benefit of those teachers residing
in the countiesof Northern Virginia.
The success of this school last year
merits your loyal support and pat
rOnage again this year.
1t will be the aim Of those in
charge of the same this year, as
last, to make it very practical in
every way and to furnished such
INSTRUCTION as will meet the de-
mands of those for whom the school
was, in the main, established the
rural teachers. Those who attend
ed last year can bear testimony to
the fact that it was conducted on a
practical basis, that the teachers
received practical instruction and
did practical word in the class room.
No "high-priced lecturirg" will be
tolerated.
The Curriculum will be substan-
TALLY the same as last year. In
structiOn in the branches recently
added to the list of those already
required for the First Grade certi
ficate- Drawing, Algebra, English
or General History, one Branch of
Science, either Physics. Physical
Geography, or Agriculture, will
receive Special attention so that
those who are not familiar with
those branches can have chance
to acquire sufficient knowledge of
same to pass the examination.
As large percentage of teachers
passed creditablc examinations at
the end of the session Of the Win
chester Normal as at any normal
in the State, the School of Methods |
not excepted.
As to actual expenses. | verify |
believe Winchester is the chcaurst
normal in the State. The conduc-
to- made personal investigation
