Mines, and Mining Stocks
MINING STOCK EXCHANGE
Market Opened Fairly Steady, But
Later Went to Pieces Again.

The action of a number of stocks du-
ring the forenoon call made il look as
though the market might experience a
rally, but before the day was over what
slight ray of hope had appeared was
completely shut out and the close was
rocky" The most disturbing feature in
the local market right now is the smelt-
er situation and. while it does look rath-
er gloomy for the immediate future, it
is not reasonable to presume or expect
that the mines now practically without
a market will have to remain so for
ever. Some way out of present difficult
ties is going to be found, and that pos
sibly very soon. When that happens

demnation proceedings in the district

Bingham, and also to furnish heat and
light fo. the inhabitants of these places.
In order to do this it is necessary that the
land belonging TO the Ute company be

GAS AND ITS CENTENARY.
March 4 to II.

Gas, as practical lumlnant, passed
it's century mark on Jan. %. On that
day 1907 there was in London "a
new and singular spectacle" according
to the account of visitor, "the whole
range of Palla Mall from ST. James
to Cockspur street was lighted up by
means of lamps fed with gas instead
of cotton and OIL and certainly in a
style much superior in brilliancy."
This was the first instance of street
lighting by coal gas in London. or in
any other city. The merit of the en-
terprise is due to Winsor, a German
company-promoting expert, who was
specially interested in the question of
economic fuel. His pamphlets, how
ever, contained so much extravagant
fanaticism and quackery that they
retarded rather than furthered his
schemes which met with an extraor-
binary amount of opposition, even
from enlightened people
Sir Walter Scott wrote that there
was mailman proposing to light Lon
don with smoke. Awful consequences
were predicted. The gas would poison
the air and blow up the inhabitants;
it was expensive, dangerous. offensive
and unmanageable; the pipes conveying
it would be hot and apt to produce
CONGREGATIONS. The lamplighters to a
man opposed the new mode of street
lighting, anw it is curious to notice
bility expressed in contemporary
scientific and popular literature.
When a chartered company was at
length formed in 1910, the sharehold-
ers were pitied as idiots; and David
Pollock, for thirty years it's governor,
received some extraordinary answers
in doggerel rhyme from otherwise So
Der and staid individuals whom he had
asked to take shares.

He Renewed His Consumption.

Il read with interest," said re-
porter, Henry James novel, The
Wings of the Dove but there was one
phrase in it that haunted me. The
phrase was. He renewed his consump-
ton.
1.-The hero of the novel sat on
rainy afternoon in cafe in Venice for
three hours. and it was during that
protracted sitting that his consumption
was renewed. What did this mean?
Was it Mr. James intricate way Of
saying that the young man contracted
a fresh cold?
Nov my doubts are at rest. l met
Mr.. James in Philadelphia at a dinner.
and l asked him what He renewed his
consumption signifies. Mr.. James
said it signaled that he ordered an
other drink.
THE novelist explained that in Eu-
rope a drink is called concentration.
He translated consommation into con-
sumption. And thus he evolved the
sentence that must have puzzled, l am
sure. every untraveled admirer of the
delicate Henry James art

Warning to Swallows.

During his residence at York, Me-.
Mark Twain was asked to deliver an
address at a local commemoratiOn, and
answered that he could by no means
take precedence over native talent. One
Captain Griswold, he said was the
great and only humorist of York. 1t
happened that, unable to command
sufficient quiet for his writing in his
own house. he had rented an attic room
of the captain, laying stress repeated
ly On the stipulation that he should
not be disturbed, but, nevertheless, the
work did not always go. One day he
wandered down stairs and prOwled
around outside the house. Glanclng
upward. he saw on the hOusetop over
his study this sign: Swallows are not
allowed to twitter on this roof"

He FoReoT THE PAPER WAC
And as Result "Jesse James" Did
Some realistic acting when "Bob
Ford" Shot Him.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, March IL
The man who played the title role in
that blood curdling Wild West melo-
drama Jesse James," finished a real
istic climax to his thrilling play at ST
Paul Ind, when he was actually shot
in the back with a .3S-caliber receiver.
A piece of cardboard was imbedded an
inch deep in the small of the hero's
back. and he fell with yell of pain
which had in it more real emotion
than was usually given for the mon
ely.
The transformers gave their Wild
West play in a public hall to fair
sized audience. The game seemed to
be that one Robert Ford was to slip
up on Jesse James and plug him in
the back when he was not looking. In
every act Of the play buckets of blood
flowed and men went down like ten
pins. The climax was reached in the
third act when Ford cOrnered desper-
ate Jesse James and fired a bullet into
his back
The cartridge-Wad incident was not
on the program, and perhaps would
not have got into the play had not the
prop man been Shy one revolver,
and one was borrowed from a ST. Paul
citizen. The owner had extracted the
bullet from the cartridge but had for
gotten the wad.
When the hero fell the audience re-
allied that there was something more
than mere stage business about the
act when the leading man sprang to
his feet and began roundly cursing
his brother actor. Bob Ford"
