NEWHOUsE PRODUCTION COSTS
RUNNING VERY LOW
Outputting About 1000, 900 Pounds
Per Month With Capacity for
Double That Amount.

George Walker says in his Boston
Commercial weekly copper letter:
Newhouse Mines is producing its cop
per at a cost of 6 cents per pound, all
expenses paid. including freight to
the Atlantic seaboard, refining and
selling. My authority for this is the
eompany's president, Samuel New
house. While the company can in
crease its output to 100000 pounds
monthly whenever II is ready. 1t will
continue to produce about 100000 to
100000 monthly until the price of
the metal advances to / 8 or II cents.
With greater depth the company's
concentrating ore is increasing in
richness. There is considerable
tonnage on the 9Th and 9th levels
which assays to per cent De-
velopment work Is now under way on
both the 18th and Sth levels. Two
carloads of sulphide smelling ore sent
cut a week ago averaged Is to 20
per cent copper. Mr.. Newhouse thinks
the mine has a great future, and Is
understood to be advising his friends
L. buy the stock.
On a production of 10000, 900
pounds of copper annually at cost
of cents, the company will earn
$500, 900 on accent copper mar
ket.. This should enable the COM
pany to pay dividends of 81 per
share. or better than 10 per cent on
the present selling price of its stock.
Operating to its maximum capacity of
ai.000.000 pounds annually, the CON-
pany could pay 50 dividends on Is
cent copper. Ii the company can
maintain its present low operating
costs Il will he able to establish an
enviable record in the future as a
dividend payer. The most valuable
asset big copper mining company
can possibly have is the ability to put
out It's product at very low cost.

Nuns Work.

The blind nuns work is always good
and the filet mesh introduced into EN-
broidery and various laees will be sure
to hold its vogue for more than this
year. Conservative styles are always
for the woman who wears her gowns
more than one season, unless she has
the foresight to read the signs of the
times and chooses the new thing while
it IS in its first stage. Even then she
needs discrimination to know whether
an innovation is likely to hold on for
a reasonable time.

MARKET IS ABLE
To STAND ON
OWN FEET
This Seemingly Is Opin-
iOnOf Those Who Have
Been Protecting 1t.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.4No effect
i've obstacles were interposed to pre-
vent the downward drift of prices of
stocks today. which seemed on a
much diminished volume OF business
from that which has been true for
many days past. The pressure to sell
showed no signs of urgency, but the
benevolent control which has been APP
parent since the present week opened
was withdrawn. leaving the market to
its own tendency. The supporting
measures which have been obvious to
even a superficial observation have
been attributed to the large banking
and capital interests, the supposed
motive being the purpose to protect
the market from an undue effect
from some of the recent developments
that had been dreaded. The passing
of several of these incidents may have
accounted for the abandonment of
protective measures in the market to-
day.
The appearance of the United
States Steel corporations quarterly
report. with its emphatic testimony
10 the heavy contraction in the bust
ness of the corporation following the
financial crisis, was the latest of these
incidents. The tenor of the report,
however, had been so clearly out
lined in preliminary estimates, both
in the figures of the quarters net
earnings and in the tonnage of or
ders on hand. that no marked change
of sentiment was caused by the read
ing of the report. Greater interest
attached to the current conditions in
the iron and steel trade, of which no
hint was offered in the United States
s,eel report. Some questioning was
heard of how much the amount of un-
filled orders on hand might be affect
ed by orders which It was sought to
have cancelled after the setback in
business occurred and which the au-
thorities in the company refused to
allow Cancelled. but consented to post
rome delivery on. The heaviness of
the United States Steel led the down
ward turn in prices.
In the opinion of the operators on
the floor of the stock exchange the
dominant factor in the depression
was the reports of renewed measures
AGAINST the power of corporations in
contemplation at Washington. Very
definite rumors were in circulation re-
garding the contents of special mes
sages from the president to congress.

Two Bad Turns.

Something Went wrong with Mr.

began to back down the hill. He ap-
piled the brake, but something had
gone wrong with that. and the auto

bottom of the slope. when it turned

Kadger in his pocket
This was substantially the story re.

When Speaker Skaggs made the
statement on the floor of the assem-
bly, that the press OF this state had
been subsidized by the Mine Owners

lioerate, malicious lie. His conduct
at Carson has been such as to lead
a great many people to believe that
he is in the pay of the Western Fed

would have a far more substantial ba-

Embarrassing Condition OF Al
fairs COnfrOnts the Lead
ers in Congress.
BIG Fight TO STOP GRAB
PayrOIIs Of Army, Navy and Other
Branches Swelled by Proposals
Now Pending.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Speaker can
non and Watchdog" Tawney OF the
appropriations committee are on
fronted with Il situation that Is EN-
barrassing to them in their efforts 10
prevent raids upon the treasury IN
this session OF retrenchment IN cur
failing Of government expenditures.
Propositions are pending which neces-
state the appropriation OF at least
81 600, 900 additional to meet pro
posed increases in pay in the army
and navy and other branches OF the
government.
Tremendous Grab.
This tremendous grab into the
treasury, following 50 closely upon the
heels OF the sl2, 600, 5000 additional to
the public expenditures on account OF
the passage of the bill increasing pen
sions to widows of soldiers, is terrify-
ing to the leaders OF the house. II is
expected that the liveliest controversy
that will be Witnessed during this ses-
sion on the floor OF the house will re-
suit over the efforts of the leaders TO
prevent these large expenditures.
In presenting the first appropriation
bill Chairman Tawney opened the SEES
sion with a detailed statement Of the
monetary condition Of the govern
ment. In which he showed that if APP
pro~priationS were not materially re-
duced from the estimates made by the
heads of departments the eXces of
expenditures over receipts during he
coming fiscal ear would amount to
more than 500, 900, 000.
Leaders Are Alarmed.
This statement, coming at a time
when the treasury is facing a deficit
Of probably $40, 600. 900 for the present
fiscal year. was alarming to the Re
publican leaders in the house. Every
effort has been made to hold down
the expenditures. and Chairman Taw-
ney and his colleagues have had some
success in that direction thus far.
The Indian appropriation bill, after
days of consideration. was passed by
the house yesterday, after having
been amended In many important par
ticulars. The appropriation. however,
carried by the bill is practically as
recommended by the committee and
amounts to So, 000, 900.

PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. l..

Dr. Hartman is now Offering Peruna to the public as regular pharmaceu.
tcal product. It is lust as ethical as any compound put up tor the medical
profession No straining Of medical ethics can find any fault with it. TAH
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated IN the
label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification.
Tn. onlv denarture we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct OF
paruna Affairs in the future. is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO TIE PEOPLE
If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only,
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna q being
entirely within their approval
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue TO
convey to the people our claims for Peruna a a household remedy. weshal
continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use
our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease teaching them many things
of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical
profession like it or not
We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence.
Notwithstanding that some imtators and substitutors will be attempting to
put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to
draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly
OF WHAT PERUNA is COMPOSED.
This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that c1t'
iism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious OF the
