Handwriting Tcrls Age.

Youngish mothers of well-grown
daughters are waking to tl-e fact that
what was held to be a proper hand
writing for a woman twenty years ago
Is no longer taught in the schools. The
queer angular hand that women still
affected ten years ago has given place
to a handwriting with curves, and the
vertical writing Of a dozen years ago
Is disappearing before a moderate
slant.
The woman whose handwriting Is
marked by the extreme form Of the
angular style is rs easily recognized
for a person no longer young as the
woman who persists in the fashions Of
1892. Some unmarried women who like
to think their state not immutable
would be glad to get rid of their tell
tale handwriting.
The younger grand1nothers who did
not wake to the angular hand in time
to change now retain the essentials of
the old copperplate style that was
taught in the COS and '7O's. 1t Is as
tonishingly neat and clear, but as man.
tfestly Of an earlier generation as the
hoopskirt or the hustle.
The girls of to-day are reverting to
the handwriting Of the generation De-
fore the copperplate was invented.
The women who were still young IN
lS4O used this rather unconventional
style.

BOSTON BANKER TALKS
OF COPPER SITUATION
DENMAN BLANCHARD,FI FINANCIER
DISCUSSES APPARENT LACK
OF CONFINENCE.

Denman Blanchard or tire -planch.
ard Banking company, 16 State
street, Boston, arrived here last night
to visit his sister-in-law, Miss Grace
Faxson. He will be here several
days, and during his stay will look
over the mining district, to form his
own conclusions, at first hand, of the
copper situation from the standpoint
of the producer, and to get better
idea as to the mining industry, and
as to business and Investment condi
tions here.
1t is Mr.. Blanchard's opinion that
the actual use of copper will never
decrease in this or any other coun-
try, but that on the other hand there
will be an increase, steady but sure
in its consumption.
The more diversified uses of the
red metal during the last few years
has caused greater quantity to
reach the markets, and a greater de-
mand, but the output has been in
creased almost immaterially. The
opening of many copper fields, and
the starting up of new smelters will
have but little effect on the actual
supply and demand features of the
market.
ne slump, he believes, was caused
by the loss of confidence, kind of
stage fright, induced primarily by a
shortage on money in the Golfers of
the banks. This fright was not
caused by over production of copper,
or by a falling off in demand. Bank
ers simply became frightened and in
structed their customers to go slow
in the matter of making future con-
tracts for copper at prevailing prices.
The result was that contracts for fu-
ture deliveries were not made. and
as the metal could not be disposed of
many months before it was to be de-
livered, the producers shut off on the
production.
The prices that prevailed during
the few months prior to the slump,
when copper went away above the
25 cents mark, were fictitious and
speculative and were not based on
the laws of supply and demand.
Hence, they were artificial and could
not stand the test.
The days of depression, he says,
are almost over, and while the pro-
ducers will be careful to keep the
price of the metal down to the safety
point, the present low prices will not
continue for long. Mr.. Blanchard
asked to be excused from giving his
ideas as to an equitable settling ba-
sis, saying that he might possibly be
prejudiced in favor of lower prices
than would be agreeable to the pro-
ducer.
Mr.. Blanchard has just returned
from the Rosebud country in the An
telope range, where he says there is
an immense copper district to be OPP
ened up in that section, which he be-
lieves will be heard from in most
satisfactory manner within short
time.
This is new country, he says, THE
first discovery having been made only
within the last thirty days. There
are several very promising claims OPP
ened up, and in addition to the cop
per values, the ores are running to
excellent values in gold.

SIR THOMAS WILL
NOT TRY THIS YEAR
WILL ENDEAVOR TO LIFT CUP If
NEW YORK YACHT CLUB WILL
BE REASONABLE.

DUBLIN, Oct. 9.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton, who has announced that he will
abandon for the present his efforts
to obtain another race with the New
York Yacht club for the America s
cup, sets forth his reasons in detail
in letter to the Royal Irish Yacht
club. He says:
my present challenge was drawn
up with the view to complying the
principal conditions of the deed of
gift and at the same time encourag-
ing the type of vessel which has been
York Yacht club. The sport of yacht
ing, apart from the pleasure derived
therefrom, is, to my mind, only de-
sirable so long as 1t serves the pur-
pose of improving the type of vessel
engaged, and it was in that spirit
that I desired to challenge under the
rules so wisely adopted by the New
York Yacht club some three months
ago for application in all its races.
81 recognize that the members of
this club are well within their rights
in deciding as they have done, yet ]
am sorry that they have not been
able, under the mutual agreement
clause, to meet me in my wish to have
race under their own universal rule,
which, in my opinion, encourages a
very wholesome and desirable type of
yacht.
In view of their attitude, however,
there is nothing left but to abandon
| the idea of contest for the present,
although | am always prepared, un-
der mutually satisfactory conditions,
| to arrange race.

Tex Richard Says Everyone in
Utah With Money Looks
Toward Nevada.
MANY WILL LOCATE HERE
People Only Laugh When Pessimists
Cry "Slump," and Then
Invest.

Tex Rickard returned last night
from a brief business trip to Salt
Lake, and declares that there is alb
solutely no abatement in the conf
dence of Salt Lake capitalists In Ely
and in Nevada in general.
Mr.. Rickard was only in Salt Lake
for few days, but during that time
| had ample opportunity to sound
number of prominent Utah financiers
as to their views concerning Nevada
in general, and Ely in particular.
The confidence of Utah capital
lists, mining men and investors in Ne
vada and particularly in Ely has not
abated particle. They know what
this camp is, and they are willing to
back their knowledge with their
money" he said last night.
Utah people are coming into this
district with their money, and with
their brains and their energy, regard
less of anything that may happen.
They know what we have, and they
want to get their share of our pros
perity.
''The recent slump has touched
few of them, but that doesn't mat
ter. They are not worried. The only
ones who were hurt in the least are
those who were a little bit tight for
money because of having invested
little too closely to their margins,
and who have felt the need of ready
cash.
"Those investors who had enough
to tide them over. have not been af-
fected in the least. They are not 60
ing to pull their money out of this
camp.
There will be a greater number of
Salt Lake and Utah mining men,
business men and investors in this
camp during this winter than there
has ever been before. There will be
a greater amount of Utah money
come here than was ever known be-
fore.
"The big investors will not be the
only ones. There will be the men of
medium financial standing. and there
will be the small investors who are
looking for a better form of invest
ment than the savings banks, who
want to get bigger returns from their
money.
T..ls class of people is becoming
educated to the fact that careful in
vestments made in mining properties
IlidL Hdft Dttu CAdlniHCu,
and that are in the hands of compe-
tent, honest and reliable men, will
make them bigger interest than the
banks.
The record of this district is so
good that a great volume of this class
of money will come into the district,
and this money will be used In the
development and Improvement of the
properties, and thus the prosperity
of the camp will be assured.
1.-THE game is a good one for all
| concerned. The investor will get the
returns in appreciated values on his
holdings, and the heavier owners will
benefit along with him in the devel-
opment of the holdings.
"The attention of the investors,
both the big ones and the little ones
the men who buy groups of prop
critics and build mills. and spend
| thousands in development as well as
the little fellows who buy few hun
dreds of shares of stocks-is direct
ed here. The interest that | found
among Salt Lakers in Ely securities,
was simply surprising. When any
one said slump to them. they
| laughed.
81 look for big colony of Salt
Lakers to come to Ely this winter and
| locate here"

STORM BREAKS
OUT ON CHANGE
Nearly Thirty thousand Shares

TOTAL VALUE EXCEPTIONAL
Most Remarkable Call In History of
Most Remarkable Call In History of

There was tumut on change last
night. 1t was the old, old story OF
lull before the storm-the longer
the lull, the fiercer the storm.
Change had been rumbling, threat.
ening and i'll at ease for week. II
had something on its mind. 1t act
ed exactly as does the mass of storm
clouds that hangs heavy over the
sky, before it spits its torrent OF
rain, and before the forked tongues
of lightning flash, and the thunder
rolls across the sky
For a week Change had been i'll.
tempered. Buyers were listless. II
was the forerunner of the storm that
struck last night.
And when that storm of buying
broke, it crashed with rumble and
a roar that shook the building. II
was not a sellers night-the buyers
took the place by storm, and the way
the stocks changed hands was sur
prise, and pleasant one, to the
brokers who are used to doing things
The fun started with patter, like
the first drops of a soaking rain
1t was Blackhorse Phoenix that start
ed the trouble. The Phoenix rose
from the ashes of its silence and the
buyers snatched 1000 shares from
its NAV, paying 1 y cents.
Then the other Blackhorse was
trotted into the pit. 1t became un-
ruly and before Ringmaster Binford
. could quiet the beast down, there had
been 1000 shares sold.
Ely Jackpot was opened twice, for
500 shares each time, the last lot
going at half cent higher than the
first.
Ely Consolidated wanted to get
into the running and the buyers grab
bed 200. Then it was the chance OF
the Ely Nevada to show its gameness
and it dropped into the pit with a
batch of ESQ, a single board lot. Ely
Bonanza Copper was not to be left
off the selling list, and disposed OF
100.
GirOux was thoroughbred, and
after lively fighting, 10 shares were
sold at an advance of cents over
the selling price of the preceding
call.
Pjttsburg Ely advanced half cent
or more, selling two lots of 200
shares each. Robinson awakened
after a long, long sleep, and sold one
lot of 500 at 9k, and the next lot
at 10.
Then hickard Ely was called. This
was hummer, and showed where ii
stood, by parting with 1850 shares
at 20; and in another single sale,
5000 shares at 27, buyer sixty days
Ely Jumbo placed two orders for
5000 each, and the call was closed
with the sale of 1000 Bray Mines
company.
