viii Fight Copper Trust.

At a meeting held in New Jersey,
January 25th, representatives OF the
smaller metal dealers in New York,
New Jersey and New England organ
lied the Northeastern Metal Dealers
Association and decided to call ON At
torney General Bonaparte 10 bring suit
to prevent the formation of combina-
ton of copper mining companies al
legged to be now forming.
The following telegram was sent to
Mr.. Bonaparte:
Proposed copper trust most harm
full TO us. Beg you to Investigate this
in the interests Of middlemen and con-
summers. Have sent particulars by
mail. Northeastern Metal Dealers AS
sociation."
The letter to Attorney General Bona
parte was not given oat, but 1t was
stated that 1t called attention TO the
present high prices Of copper. and that
il was proposed by the co-called trust
TO maintain the price or to increase
It. The letter asserts that foreign
copper company has entered into an
agreement with the metal-seIling agen-
cies in this country not to compete
with the American concerns, or the
largest Of them. and that division OF
territory in Europe has teen made be-
tween them. It is also alleged that
this trust has stored large supplies OF
copper both in this country and In Eu.
rope, causing an artificial scarcity OF
| the metal.
President James Norton. speaking
OF the complaints. said that seventy
| five members OF the association repre-
sented buyers OF from 25,0O0,0 900 to
| &c. 900 900 pounds OF copper annually,
and that the western copper buyers
were in thorough sympathy With the
objects OF the association.

Examining stratton Properties.

W. F. DeCamp, for a number OF
years general manager OF the Port
land mine, has just finished an exam
ination of every shaft on the Stratton
estate properties on Bull hill and else
where in the district for the Stratton
executors, says a Victor correspond
ent His inspection was entirely phys
ical and did not include sampling OF
ore values. It is believed tnat the en-
tire estate, which comprises several
thousand acres of the choicest ground
in the district, and for which the late
w. S. Stratton paid close to S4,OOO,OOO
in cash, the largest amount by far tnat
any single person has ever been
known to expend direct for acquisi-
ton of gold mining territory. either de-
veloped or undeveloped. will be sold
by the Stratton estate executors in
view of their announced decision to
settle up the affairs Of the vast estate
according to the provisions of the will.
Disposal of the properties, in all reas-
enable probability, would be SO ar
ranged that they would not be taken
over by any one syndicate or ind1vfd
ual, but would be absorbed by various
companies now in existence or whicd
might be formed. The present value
of the mining claims can only be ap-
proximated, but it is large, and their
sale to individuals or companies would
be sure guarantee Of their steady de-
velopmeut.

Newhouse Acquires Nipissins Mines.

]. II. Robson, a well-known Colo
RADIO mining man, has just been ap-
pointed general manager of the famous
Nipissing cobalt mines in British Col.
umbia. according to a report Just re.
ceived in Denver. The Guggenheims
recently forfeited several millions in
an option held to gain the control Of
the mines.
A new company, Of which Samuel
Newhouse of New York is president,
has been formed, says the Denver Re.
publican, and will work the mines,
said to be the most valuable in the
world OF their kind.
Mr.. Robson Is now in Salt Lake
City and refuses to confirm or deny
his rumored appointment before 1t is
officially given out. The appointment
is one OF great interest to Colorado
mining men. besides being an excep-
tional testimonial to Mr.. Robeson's
ability.
Great responsibility is connected
with the position. Mr.. Robeson has
for years been connected with mining
properties In. Georgetown, the San

Pecan Orchards in the South.

"Just as the people of the north eat
peanuts in great quantities so do the
people OF the south eat pecans." re-
marked Allan Dupre. merchant Of
New Orleans. "On the streets of New
Orleans are many vendors who sell
them In all sorts OF ways-shelled,
unshelled and in candy form. Pea
nuts are sold, TOO. but pecans have a
far greater sale.
ITO meet the demand for them,
which is growing. pecan orchards are
now being laid out in the bottom lands
Of the far south. When old timber is
cut down pecan trees are planted.
Many pecan orchards are gradually
growing up. They are of slow
growth. requiring about 10 or 90
years to reach maturity. but they are
profitable. The main supply comes
from Mexico. some GO carloads Of.
shelled pecans being shipped from
there every year. for the most part to
be consumed In the south. but In a
decade the main supply will come
from the southern states. which will
thus gain a new industry"

KNOWWHATYOUBUY
You Can See Quality and
Quantity in the Local
Stores.
PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take Mail-Order
House Goods on Faith-keep
the Money Of the commu.
nifty at Home.

When the consumer buys merchan.
disc he Is interested in three things
quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store of his local mer-
chant he sees the goods that he is to
pay for displayed before him; he can
determine whether the quality Is first
class, and whether the quantity is all
that is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have fair idea as
to whether the price asked is a fair
one or not.
But how is 1t when he attempts to
buy OF the big mail order houses of the
cities? The only guide he has to the
quality and quantity they are offering
is what the catalogue says, and the
catalogue is prepared with the one OBJ
ject In view Of selling the goods.
When the consumer buys of his
local merchant and finds the goods he
has purchased were not as represent
ed he can promptly take them back
and receive his money. When he buys
OF the mail order house in the large
cities he has practically no recourse
but to take what he gets and look
pleasant at the results.
1t is cheap goods and short weight
that Is making mail order house
profits. They can buy but little, IL

Mary Mckinney Report.

The Mary Mckinney MAing Com
pany, operating in the Cripple Creek
district, on January Gath mailed
checks in payment Of the regular g.
cent quarterly dividend recently de-
clared. The amount disbursed on the
1,304.25 shares of issued capital stock
Is $39,12756, and makes a total Of
$762,637.S0 paid in dividends by the
company to date.
Accompanying the dividend checks
Is the semi-annual report of the COM
pany for the period ending December
81, 1906. The report shows the f.
nances to be in good condition, and
also that the company's affairs have
been conducted at good profit. The
most significant item in the statement
Is to the effect that the net saving on
ore, on company account for the last
six months is 479 per cent. This is
ten per cent. more than the average
of the preceding six months.
The net tonnage on company ac-
count for the half year was 6,489 tons,
with gross value Of $233,034.12 The
gated $121,3177S, leaving a net bal
ance Of 11,716.14. The total net in
come was $119,059.38.
The average gross value per ton, OF
company ore, was 1851. The net
value was $17.21, this giving the above
mentioned saving of 47.9 per cent. The
net profits for the six months, of $119,-
059.4S, is further increased by minor
receipts, including rent and tax rev.
enue, the total net income being $119,-
40052. This makes a net income OF
nearly $4,000 a month.
In his report, President F. F. Cas-
tello states that during the last year
the seventh level has been advanced
north from the shaft about 1,200 feet,
and is now nearing No. vein. This
level has also been extended south
from the shaft about 400 feet.
The gross production for the last
six months has been Of the usual reg
ular character. The average gross
value per ton has increased $4.55 over
that of last year; the average treat
ment and expense has been decreased
SO cents a ton, resulting in the grati-
flying saving of over forty-seven per
cent.
From the known ore bodies ahead,
we hope for and expect prosperous
year." says President CASTILLO.

A UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPH PARTY.
Two Girls Gave Novel and Original
Entertainment with Pictures.

Two girls who are enthusiastic anna

delightful and original party last
year, says writer in The Housekeep-

"These headless ladies at home,
January 12, o'clock"
Not little guessing and comparing
notes was necessary among those in
vited to decide with certainty upon
the identity of the would-be hostesses.
The guests were received in pref
ty room, half studio, half sitting room,
where, after few minutes lively con-
versation, they were given cards deco
rated with tiny photographs OF the
house in which the party was given,
with pencils attached.
Their attention was then called to
the numbered photographs tackled up
on the wall, each representing some
well known book. The titles were to
be written opposite the number on
the card corresponding to that of the
photograph. In one or two instances,
where the book title was not widely
known, the name of the author was
printed on the card.
Miss Alcott's Little Women" "Lit-
tie Men" and "Old-fashioned Girl;
Seton Thompson's wild Animals l
Have Known" and Holmes "Over the
Teacups" and "Autocrat of the Break
fast Table" lent themselves readily to
Photographic illustration. Among
others were "The Masquerader" "a
lady in domino and mask); prince
(prints) of Indian" "The Crisis" dn
fudge making), and ITO Have and To
Hold" Ia wedding).
Thirty minutes were allowed for
making out the list of titles. The
prize for the most complete list was a
handsome photograph in passepartout
of a locally celebrated spot. The con-
ISOLATION prize, the photo of the family
cat, yawning prodigiously.
Partners for supper were selected
by matching kodak pictures cut in
half. The menu was written on the
back of mounted photograph of the
principal public building of the city
The evening closed with fun and
flashlights.
