Much of Uncle Joe's wealth has
come from speculation in farm
lands. He owns a 400 acre farm
near Tuscola and has large hold
ings in Indiana and Nebraska. One
of the big strikes made by the
speaker and his brother was
through the purchase of land under
water near the city limits for 500
on acre. They drained it and sold
the land years afterward at a great
profit. 1t is said that Uncle Joe
foresaw the growth of the west be-
cause of his pioneer experience in

Copper Market.


BOSTON.-The fiscal year of
the Shannon Copper closed August
81. While full figures have not
been made up as yet, 1t is esti-
mated that the net earnings for
the year will show between $12s,-
900 and $150,00O. which Is equal
to slightly under so cents per
share, as compared with net earn
ings of $695,916 the previous year.
Until copper conditions materially
improve, there is no prospect of a
resumption of dividends by the
company.
For the second successive month
the estimated copper production of
the Butte mines shows an increase
over corresponding month last
year. For the seven months ended
July 81 the output of Butte camp
was 54,O00,00O pounds less than for
the first seven months of 1907. The
September production of 29,055, 900
pounds is not only the largest
months yield this year, but it is
greater than the output of any sim
gle month since March, 1907, when
the Butte mines turned out 30,576,-
055 pounds of copper.
The declaration of the regular
Anaconda dividend was not unex-
pected and forecasts no change in
the rate for Amalgamated when
the directors meet this month.
Amalgamated is now disbursing
at the rate of little over 100000
a year to shareholders and has
added at the rate of at least ST.
100000 a year to it's surplus.

Special Correspondence to The Press


Special Corresp oadenoe to The Press
DANVIlLE, ILL.,. Oct. LIN a
broadside fired at the democracy
Uncle Joe Cannon. with most of
Danville assembled to hear him, de-
clared that Bryan was millionaire
and a plutOcrat. Bryan confessed
to only $15O,000 and he came back
quick with query as to Uncle
Joe's wealth. A further question
suggested was, how did he get it?
Danville's answer to the question
is that Uncle Joe got the greater
part of his money through his
brother Bill. The latter was trou-
bled with poor eyesight from child
hood, and there was a time when
the father of the boys strictly en-
joined Joe to always care for his
brother William. 1t proved, how
ever, that William, when grown to
manhood, could see dollar around
corner, and that he pointed out
to Joseph the way to affluence.
Uncle Joe, according to those
who seem to be In the best position
to Judge, is worth $1,0OO,0OO. Some
of the democratic politicians make
estimates running from $2,000,000
to $6,000,000, but they may be influ-
enced some by the heat of the cam
paign. One of his near friends gave
100000 as the correct figure.
Uncle Joe has said that he
learned the value of money as a
poor and hardup lawyer. Oppor-
tunities to increase his store were
presented in pioneer days by
clients who came long distances to
borrow money and discuss invest
ments. He transacted a line of
business that in these days is in
the hands of trust companies and
real estate dealers. and it gave him
many chances for investment.
