LONDON COPPER MARKET

It Is surprising at this time to hear
of fluctuations of 60 ton in the Lon
don copper market. Copper has ceased
to be a basis for speculation in this
country, which Is now the great source
of supply. Englishmen would be wise
to admit that if there were any reason
able opportunity for speculation in cop
per Americans would know it and
would profit by it for we have not the
reputation of being backward at that
sort of thing.
The great copper producing interests
of this country have no disposition to
advance the price further than can be
helped. They have keenly in mind the
fact that at some point, yet undeter-
mined, consumption must be checked.
The effort is to find, without causing a
reaction, the point at which supply will
balance demand, and for this reason
prices have been advanced SLOWLY most
remarkably so, when all things are
considered. There has been shown true
economic wisdom in this-a far-sighted
saneness of judgment, which is perhaps
the best guarantee we have, among
many, for stability in price.

In the quarrying of building stone
there are three planes of fracture
known to quarrymen. The rift y is
the direction in which the stone splits
most easily: the "grain . that which
is next easiest; the head . that
which offers the greatest resistance.
In paving block the two sides repre-
sent the rift fracture, the top and bot
tom the grain, and the end the head.
But in quarry the natural bed is
sometimes considerably inclined to the
plane of the rift E; hence the Imperfect

CLASS !"

There is a certain, indefinite, subtle
condition known among men who ad-
mire physical development, whether in
man or beasts, as "class. While it is
not in strict adherence to business
principles to copy even in theme after
sporting element, this term conveys a
meaning that is so closely drawn that
it applies to anything even, therefore,
to the business commonly classified as
promotion, says the Colorado Mining
Review.
Class is distinction-the possession of
quality, the inherent. To broadly de-
fine it, We may state that the difference
between real professionalism and
amateur efforts is not merely one of
devotion to time and efforts, but it is
one of correctness and its lack. The
poet is not the writer of doggerel.
Jingles please, but they do not educate.
Poetry possesses ''class, - if it be good
poetry, real poetry. The greater
painters possessed this same "class, :"
that makes even seemingly crude work
superior in a hidden psychological sense
to the gaudy things of the craftsman,
colored scientifically, but without art.
In the arena, the wrestler who has the
syncopation, the time" down fine, and
who has strength and endurance in pro-
portion, possesses class.
Whatever has this same sub-real
condition is ''out of the crowd. Rookie
Teller, Morgan, Hartman, Hill and the
long line of money-getters have given
form of this ''class, and so must every
deal, promotion or other, if it is to
succeed.
Promotion may not be of such unde-
fined quality as to not err in the selec-
ton of property. But promotion can
have the minimum of risk and the
maximum of money-making chances
for the stockholders. Promotion calls
for honest administration and expert
ence. No man who promotes can fore
tell the outcome of his campaigns
But he can work safely, even though
his operations are of such magnitude as
to suggest daring. Clever conceit is
not always successful as applied to
business, but cleverness in business
judgement is thing to be coveted.
"Class" in promotion must include
all the details of experience. That is
what succeeds. He who has not learned
those details through experience can
never divine them on paper. The value
of theory is for the man who knows.
To the nouice, it suggests a rambling
line of unfinished possibilities. Promo
tion along mining lines can be uni
formly successful, just as it can in bust
ness of any kind. But adherence and
ability are essential. The hy-by-night
jumps hither and thither, and accom-
plishes nothing. He means to be hon.
est and intends to make money for his
shareholders-and too frequently they
are HIS stockholders and not co-part-
ners in a real business organization.
Glass answers it all. And what we
need is more class promoters.

MORE MINERS NEEDED

1t is estimated by immigration Off
cials that upward of l, 100000 aliens
will enter this country during the year
1907, as against 1850, 900 last year, and
$50, 600 in 1905. Most of these irnmi-
grants are laborers from Europe.
They are needed.
The West has suffered this winter
from fuel famine and can famine.
1t is about to suffer from labor ia
mine; and unless mine operators take
precautionary measures promptly, the
mining industry will be severely handi-
capped for lack of men.
Already the country's output of cop
per has heen curtailed, and largely
from this cause. At time when the
world is clamoring for copper, when
prices are so high that the temptation
is to strain every resource to increase
production, labor falls below demand.

Antl-PaSS in Minnesota-Ther is
only one opinion among mem bers of
legislature about the anti-pa and
2-cent fare bills. Public sentiment is
so strong for these measures that
members say they will not dare to
let the session go by without passing
them. They realize that Minnesota
is only one link in chain of states
where this agitation is spreading. .and
cannot afford to lag behind. The
railroads are not going to fight the
anti-pass proposition, and they may
not offer more than show of resist
ance to the 2-cent fare law. Railroad
officials claim that traffic in this
state is not sufficiently remunerative
to stand 2-ccnt maximum, but it is
admitted that when passes and mile
age books are coanted In, the aver
age revenue received is less than 21s
cents, and on some roads it is just a
fraction over cents. II everybody
paid flat cent rate, there would
not b. much decrease in the. revenue.
Then In eastern states experience has
shown that reduction of fares brings
Increased travel, and that gross earn
ings are swelled instead of dimin-
ished.
The significance OF the movement
lies 10 the fact that it is on in neigh
boring states. Wisconsin abolished
passes years ago, and now is agitat-
ing the 2-cent fare. Iowa is likely to
pass 2-cent fare anp an antipass
bill. The Dakotas are hardly popu-
lous enough for the 2-cent fare yet,
but both states have an anti-pass
fight on.
Then, if Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa adopt 2-cent maximum fare,
passenger rates will be reduced, not
only on short bauls, but on the
through business. Most of the mile.
