COPPER METAL
 NOW PRETTY DULL
Even the Most BeariSh Trade Journals Admit This Is
 the Case,

Even the most bearish trade jour nals now admit that the copper metal market Is dull. hut very strong, and on all sides the price is quoted as rising 13 cents q pound. One of the leading copper producers Of this city says that Europe is still a very heavy buyer of copper and while America is not buying ar the moment pro ducers are holding their Lake copper at l3 Is cents
 It is noc believed that mauufact- urers on this side have any stock of the red metal On hand and for that reason it is felt that there will be heavy buying later in the year. which will bring the average price well up above 13 cents. The enthusiasts are looking for 15 and 16 cent copper al most any time now.
 The most significant thing bearing on the metal situation was published last week in this column, comment be- ing made on the fact that the biggest user of copper in the Naugatuck Val ley had been for sometime quietly for tifying itself with cash in evident an ticipatiOn of going into the metal mar ket for supplies within a short time. The day after the nomination of Taft, London copper warrants show ed an advance and strong support was noted in the stock market there for Rio TintOS shares.

Mining, SneItCrS and Stock Quotations
PRODUCTION COST
 NEAR TEN CENTS

BOSTON. June 24.-The mines of the Greene-Cananea company will shortly resume operations under con ditions which will make for lower copper costs than formerly prevailed. and permit of profits on the present low copper market.
 Leading interests in the company say there is every reason to expect a 10-cent copper cost by the Greene company because of the planned econ omies in operation. The rich ores of the Cananea- Central and Cananea- Duluth will be a considerable factor ing the costs for the treatment of in gthe costs. for the treatment of these ores will permit of an average recovery of 80 pounds of copper to the ton, while the ores of the old Greene Consolidated company are expected to give an extraction of 65 pounds to the ton, in addition to sub stantial gold and silver values.
 The smelling plant has been en- tirely reconstructed under Dr. l.. D. Ricketts and Charles Selby who was formerly shelter superintendent of the Old Dominion, and they both claim ability to make low smelting costs. The smelling capacity of the new plant is 5000 tons of charge per day. making it the largest smelter in the Southwest This capacity is con siderably in excess of the old plant,

LITTLE CHANCE l. IN HE MARKET;
 DEMAND FAIR
There Are Few Holders of Shares Who Are Compelled to Sell at the Present Prices of Stock.
(By Frank J. Crab

Today's market shows but little change over yesterday, although the demand is fair, with no stock coming out at bid prices. It becomes eyi- dent that there are few holders of stock that are compelled to sell stocks at the present prices. Should this be the case it is not very likely that lower prices will be seen. but on the .oJher hand stock will very 1ikely maintain their present prices. The New York market ruled very quietly and showed at times a tendency of liquidation. The Boston market fails Ito show any particular strength. North Butte, Butte Coalition, Old Do .miaion and Copper Range are in- clined to be a fraction weak. Su- perior & Pittsburg, shannon and Globe on the curb are inclined to be offered.
 Shattuck and Denn Arizona are about the strongest stock on the list handled on the curb. Early trading was done in Shattuck at 14 1-4 and in Denn Arizona at 5-S. The ccrb market. although somewhat neglect ed holds well. in fact better than the listed stocks and the demand for them is far better. The present prices for curb stocks are very attractive and buyers are taking them whenever flpy ara heinz nffarad

which was able to put out as nigh as 50000,0 900 pounds of copper per annum. The production of 100, 900 .000 pounds of copper per annum is the goal the management now plans to reach.
 The company plans to produce very soon at the rate of 5.000,000 pounds of copper per month, with the employment of $500 men, as against between 6O00 and 1000 men employed under the old regime. In resuming operations only the best Of Mexican miners will be employed, and at reduced wages. Under the old regime Americans were paid $4 per day gold, and Mexicans s4 per day silver.
 The American miners have been entirely eliminated except in the highest positions, and the wages of the Mexicans have been placed more in conformity with Mexican wages in other camps; no difficulty has been experienced in getting men. A 100 per cent reduction in the wage force as well as reduction in wages is naturally the g~eatest factor in 'e- ducing cost The removal of duties by the Mexican government is also considerable help. The fire in the Capote mine of the old Greene Con. solidated. which has been burning for over a year, is declared to be practi' cally extinguished.

LOGAN & BRYAN.

NEW YORK. June PA better feeling and slightly higher prices prevailed in the stock market today and trading was on broader scale. Recent attacks have failed to cause much liquidation and the demand on occasions is of an encouraging na- ture.
 Trading, however, continues most ly professional, as the public do not seem inclined to take hold in an az gressive manner until the crop out look is more reassuring and until the blanks of the Democratic platform are clearly defined, as the tariff revis- ion and anti-injunction blanks have caused considerable unce rtainty. we are inclined to look for an irregular traders market during the next few weeks, but still favor purchasing on declines for moderate profits.

English point of view, of the Mexican law and jurisprudence, as indicated in the two preceding clauses, the neces- sity of organizing Mexican mining companies, under Mexican laws would place the foreign investor, in respect to his rights as stockholder or bond holder per SC, that Is, in respect to his merely personal rights with regard to the other members, officials or trus- tees of the company, at he mercy of the Mexican courts which so far have had Iitle experience and training in deciding, and no well developed prin- ciples of jurisprudence, by which to decide such questions of personal and legal right. as the Englishman is ac- customed to possess and in case of need to assert"
 This, indeed, is the reason for the opposition. Foreigners are not satis- fled with the protection that our laws afford to our citizens. They imagine that they would be, as they call it, at the mercy of OUT Mexican courts. They desire to be able to exercise the legal ! and, as they say, in case of need to | assert.
 | This is the root of the controversy and the selfsame reason they assert against the law is the one upon which the policy of the government is based. Our government, well founded upon principles of international juTispTud' ence, does not desire that aliens in it's own territory should enjoy any more rights than Mexicans possess in the acquisition, possession, and trans fer of its landed property. To do oth' erwise would result in internationa, conbicts, which a peaceful people, and their government, well Interpreting ltheir feeling, desire at all hazards It avoid. If deficiencies exist in oul corporation law. the remedy is to COT rect such shortcomings and not to op pose a law entirely independent of such shortcomings and ordained for the Ipubiic good.
 The editorial states, with sound req son. that this is not a subject that car be treated lightly and without ma lture consideratin, for it is question of the greatest moment. We all agree with the editors views in this respect for it is. indeed, q vital and momeD tous question, question of public policy, question that needs the sound minds of the directors of this countrJ to consider and study it. foreseeing tho

 NEW YORK, June PA dull and stagnant market prevailed through ont the day Fluctuations were in narrow limits and its apathy were the market distinguishing feature. the total trading was entirely profes- sional and confined to the four walls of the exchange.

Tropical Races Are Shown to Be
Much Longer Lived.

Because In tropical countries more
decayed vegetable matter is found and
in consequence more miasma, the idea
has become popular that only vigorous
health and long life are likely in
northern latitudes where frost now
and then asserts itself. The fact that
humanity natures much earlier in
tropical climes seems to warrant the
conclusion that it must necessarily
perish much earlier. DR.. Luigi Sam
bon of Rome attempts to put the pop
ular impression to sleep by an elab-
crate exhibition of statistics.
He doesn't contend that the warm
est climate is the most suitable to a
man, under the conditions of modern
civilization, but he demonstrates Wig
orously against the idea that cold
and variat simate is the most con-
ducive to TIE lysical and intel
lectual i'm mrroycmeat of the human
race. VIII nOrthern climates may
produce r1lN4rt frames, statistics
show that hcy DO not conduce to Ion
gevity. II proof " his position the

LONGEVITY in HOT CLIMATES

He shows that the people who live
along the unhealthful coasts of Cen
trail and South America survive the in
habitants of the higher and cooler alti-
tudes of the interior. He shows also
that the Hindus, who often reach
puberty as. early as nine years, live
to surprising old age. The inhabi-
tants of the southern countries of
Europe are found to live much longer
than those of the more northern lati-
tude.
To illustrate. in England in a popu-
lation of 27,O00.OO0 there are but 146
centenarians. while in Spain, with
a population of but 1S.O0O,0O0, there
are 401 centenarians. The probabili-
ties are that the great mortality found
in southern latitudes is found In the
cities. and is therefore not SO much
the fault of the climate as of an in.
difference to sanitary laws.

the call for the militia was given, Ben.
jamin Reed, the eldest son, was draft
ed. He was not well, and his father.
Israel, volunteered to go in his stead.
Yet, this father who took his sons
place, was not himself a we'll man. He
had had what was known at that time
as Tyler's grippe. The disease left Is
rael Reed with a trouble in his side
that prevented his running. Yet this
ailing, middle-aged man shouldered his
gun and set off with the other Willink
recruits for Buffalo, taking with him
as farewell gift frola his wife pair
of mittens that she had knitted for
him, and gave him just before he
went.
"The story Of the fight has often
been told; how small detachments Of
raw American militiamen were
thrown, one after another, against the
unknown enemy in the darkness at
Scajaquada creek, and were in turn
demoralized, many of the men scatter
ing through the woods in retreat; how
in the absence of united opposition in
the early morning, the British rein
forcements succeeded in landing at
Black Rock; how the Scajaquada de-
tachment marched up the river, dis
persing what little organized resist
ance 1t met; and how, together, the
two parties of the British routed the
Americans in the last stand they
made-not over 600 of them-to op-
pose the British landing.
"Discreditable as the affair of De-
cember 80, 1913, was, in general, to
the American forces, and particularly
to their leaders, there were some of
the militiamen who deserve credit for
what they did. One of these was Is
rael Reed of Wales. According to
tradition, he was on guard duty when
his regiment was ordered out; but he
induced another man to take his place,
went into battle and remained until
nearly everyone had fed. Then he re-
treated in company with his friend,
Col Emery. The Indians were then so
close upon them that, as Col Emery
used to relate, he could hear them
painting. He looked back once, and
saw Reed, standing against tree,
wave his hand to him to go ON. That
was the last ever seen of Israel Reed
in life. Three days later his dead
body was found where Col. Emery had
left him"

rushed from the room, with a perfect
howl of cheers following him. 1t was
his last appearance in politics.
The term political boss" images to
most people stoutly-built man with
plug hat and a large diamond, who
smokes long black cigars and rules
his ward or district with rod of iron.
Sometimes he is represented as a man
with a heart bursting with sympathy
for the poor, who squeezes the rich
citizen to help out the constituents
whose votes he harvests on election
day. He is generally typified as elo-
quently profane, and story-writers de-
light to set him down invariably as of
Irish birth.
AS matter of fact, however, there
are just as many different bosses" as
there are nationalities in the large
cities, for boss is simply leader
for the time being, and that may be
for a few months, few years or
longer. And some of the most sue
cessful of all bosses" politically
speaking, have been Americans. The
present president of the United States
is one of the most masterful of politi-
cal bosses. Who in his party dare
openly say him may" with any hope
of winning out against his rock-rooted
strength?
The boss" in the cities, however,
especially the typical ward "boss," is
often man who may be evolved by
either accident or design. Sometimes
man goes into the game to help a
friend out, or to satisfy a grudge, and
the glamor Of the thing attracts him
and he stays in, to finally emerge as
full-blown ''leader." And some one
of the young fellows who go into poll
tics deliberately will work on for
years in the same ward growing up
with the people who live there, identi-
flying himself with them and their in
terests and finally winning the conf
dence Of his constituents so lastingly
that they will vote almost to a man as
he wishes.
A true boss" both follows and
leads. He knows what his people"
want, and he does not stray far away
from their desires. If his ward has

History of Tombstone Now Held by
Buffalo Historical Society.

A short time ago Frank II. Sever
ance of the Buffalo Historical society
had a letter from Lyman Cornwall of
South Wales, offering to obtain for the
Historical society an old tombstone
from an old pioneer cemetery down
that way. AS usual, Mr.. Severance
lost no time in looking into the affair,
for anything that serves as link in
the chain of historic research is sought
by the society.
And now the stone is on exhibition
down in the basement of the Historical
building. 1t is plain, old-fashioned
tombstone, such as one sees moldering
In any country churchyard. But that
old stone, or, rather, the man over
whose grave 1t was raised, has his,
tory that is interviewer with the his
tory of pioneer days on the frontier.
A weeping willow droops mournfully
from the upper portion of the weather,
beaten stone, with the solemn urn be.
