COPPER POOL? NONSENSE

We find the following in an eS- change: ''The advance in copper from lais cents October l9 to 1slS cents. the present New York price, together with the announced sales during October by the United Metal Selling interests alone of eight 10 nine million dollars worth, mostly for export. indicates that the collapse of she copper pool, and the consequent drop in price from twenty cents per poun6 to but little more than half that. has resulted in again creating a sharp demand for consumption, etc.
 Whereupon, the Marquette Mich. ) Mining Journal rises to remark that .'statements like this have appeared in other papers. While they are ridic- ulous 10 person who has been follow ing the tortuous course of the copper metal trade the past twelve months. they are not unnatural development of tendency to blame everything that goes wrong to a pool or trust. Bit the copper pool is fiction, and q terribly bald fction-one which can deceive no one who has the slightest direct information in regard to the copper metal business.
 ..It was no pool that put copper to .weuty-six cents a pound. IL was the over-anxious consuming interests, who, confronted with an unprecedented demand for their products and fearing famine in the raw material, bio the prices up against one another, and bid it up far too high for stable met al market.
 'It is further worthy of mention that there WAS, when the decline be- gan. no concerted effort to hold up quotations. such as would have been expected were the pool theory correct. [ On the contrary the several interests pursued their own plans and made their own prices. The Calumet < l Hecla company has been selling cop per right along. This interest or that
 was continually shading the formal Quotations 10 ger the business. The policy as regards reducing production
 is another proof Of the absolute inde- 1 pendence Of one another shown by the big interests. h Butte the curtail- nent has been 10 psr cent or more. in l .he lake district i. has been so small as 10 be hardly factor. In Bisbee it 1 has been slight, and now in the Cana Inca camp there is to be q complete shut down on the 20th. These con- dieting conditions are also shown in l the other camps.
 a NvnsEssson -hc- ha eaa-> ! by any who cares 10 look that the big groups of copper producers have noth- i ing resem bling a gentlemen's agree mert. either for boosting the price of the metal or for any other purpose. ! There is little harmony Of action be- tween them. The Calumet & Hecla goes its calm. determined way and is apparently satisfied with itself and the world. If all the other big cop per interests were ripe for pool,
 V hich they are not. the Calumet < Hecla is a sufficient factor in the met al industry to defeat its effectiveness. and there is no indication that fl would depart from it's traditional policy.
 This copper pool talk is moonshine. Let those who have been spinning it try 70 explain the fluctuations of cop per iu accordance with the laws of supply and demand. They will find it much easier task

SMALL BLAZE MARS
HOLIDAY GATHERING
Christmas Tree at Home of A. B.
Renehan Goes Up In Smoke-Host-
ess and One Guest Burned.

A blaze which started from light
ed candle destroyed gayly bedecked
Christmas tree at the home of Attor-
ney and Mrs. A. B. Renehan, on Upper
Palace avenue last evening, marred a
pleasant Christmas gathering and
painfully burned Mrs. Renehan the
hostess and R. M. Hardinge one of the
guests.
While the guests were gathered in
the drawing room and the gifts were
being distributed, the decorations on
the Christmas tree became ignited
| from one Of the lighted candles. In ar
instant the tree was ablaze. In at
tempting to extinguish the flames and
prevent the possible destruction of the
house, Mr.. Hardinge was severely
burned about the face and hands, his
eyebrows and hair being badly singed
and both hands blistered. Mrs. Rene.
han was also painfully burned about
the face and hands while assisting In
subduing the blaze.
AS it was the tree was consumed
and the contents Of the room more or
less damaged. That the result was
not worse was due entirely to the ef
forts of Mr. Hardinge and other
guests who finally succeeded in put
ting out the fire.
Today Mrs. Renehan and Mr. Hard
inge were both confined to their homes
and under the care of a physician as

SITUATION IS VERY ACUTE
Assignment Made by Presi-

of Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 26.--Not since the
day preceding the passage of the
personnel law OF ten years ago has
the feeling between the line and stan
of the navy been so acute as 1t is to-
day as result Of the refusal Of Ad-
miral Brownson to transmit orders
from his superior officer, the Presi
dent Of the United States, assigning
a naval surgeon to the command Of a
vessel in the navy.
In the case of the personnel act, It
was President Roosevelt, then assist
ant secretary of the navy, who acted
as the pacificator, bringing the two
waring factions together in support Of
the legislation.
In the present instance, however,
the efforts Of the President to recon
cile the surgeons and line officers has
failed completely and 1t is probable
that the whole controversy will be
thrashed out on its merits In Con.
