MINING, MARKETS AND METALS
DULL PERIOD EXPECTED.
Prices in Wall Street Move sluggish
" Under Operations of Pro-
fessional Traders.

NEW YORK, June 24.-So far as
they were mirrored in the securities
market. events had no important
bearing on values and prices moved
sluggishly and hesitatingly today, I'M
der the influence of professional OPP
erations. The market was one OF
typical summer dulIness, and the ex-
pectation OF continuance of this
of affairs was shown in the
readiness with which motion was
adopted to close the stock exchange
on Friday. July 3, in order to pro-
long the Independence day holiday
from Thursday evening until the fol-
lowing monday.
Many of the most influential men
of financial affairs are already absent
on prolonged vacations, and the trad
ers and commission houses apparent
ly recognize the futility of hopes OF
an active market. The mid-season
between conventions of the great po-
litical parties is discouraging to any
definite commitments in pursuance OF
speculative views.
The trend of the discussion In the
financial district shows that posi-
bilities of disturbance of confidence
and unsettlement of business senti-
ment as a result of the progress OF
the political campaign are beginning
to he canvassed The likelihood that
questions of wage adjustments Will
be precipitated into the situation is
regarded as threatening serious
complication of the whole problem.
The outcome of the crops also is In
cluded in the doubtful factors which
must remain a source of possible I'M
settlement of the speculation up to
the period of the actual harvest. The

MASONIC Is ACTIVE.

In spite of the hard times" that
caused general depression, particu-
larry in the mining camps, the Ma
sonic mining district has forged
ahead in the most substantial man
ner, says the Carson News. Mnen
the banks shut up shop and left the
mines without revenue Masonic was
one of the few districts that was able
TO Withstand the tide. This district
is situated about so miles south of
Carson, in one of the most famous
mineralized zones of the state. Bodie
is but 2 miles to the east while the
old camp of Aurora is only few
miles further east on the same belt
that has produced so many millions
in money from gold bullion Masonic
at the present time is showing great
activity. Many of the individual
claim owners are getting into harness
and the results are that good ore val
ues are being uncovered every day.
Like all of the gold camps high grade
ore is sought by those who depend on
the mines for their profits. This is
not always encountered, but the re-
suit is many large veins uncovered
showing milling ores that will event.
ually provide profit to the miners
and the custom mills that will be
erected to handle the vast product
from the entire section.

ADVANCE OF SILVER
CONSIDERED HIGHLY
ENCOURAGING POINT

SALT LAKE. June 24..The in
crease in the price of silver being
noted from day to day is being ap-
preciated by mining and smelling
men as an excellent indication of
changing conditions, since no COM
pany or set of men Is able to control
the price of this metal. The price of
other metals may better be controll-
ed. In speaking of the metal situa-
ton, Director General w. s. Morse
of the American Smelling and Rein
ing Co is quoted by the Tribune as
follows:
"lne price of silver is not con-
trolled as Is the price of copper and
lead. The American Smelling & Re
filming Co., of course. sets the price
of lead because it produces about one
half of this metal. but there are so
many factors which affect silver that
no one controls 1t. Hence. its in
crease from day TO day is pleasing
and an excellent indication of
change toward normal conditions.
Il do not look for an increase in
the price of lead in the near future.
Our company has raised the price of
the metal just as high as conditions
warrant. but there is still supply
on hand and the conditions do not
warrant any further increase. In
fact, at the present time the price of
lead is a little high. but We have
raised ii just as high as We could TO
help relieve the situation. | do not
look for an increase in the near flu
ture.'
When mention was made of the
statement of Mr.. Guggenheim on con-
ditions in Europe and the fact that
Europe might assist in increasing
copper prices. because that country
still has plenty of faith in American
markets and securities. Mr.. Morse de-
clared that Europe had not been SO
badly shaken up as the United States
and for that reason il was not to he
expected that Europe would be SO
long returning TO former conditions.

The Mathematical Mind.

A literary worker who wished to
do a large amount of reading by
proxy advertised for an assistant
capable of digesting the contents of
a tremendous quantity of books in a
very short while. While weighing
each applicants qualifications for
rapid, assimilative reading he in
quired carefully into the mathemati-
cal requirements. He finally chose
the man who was most skillful at un-
tangling arithmetical problems.
"On the surface that seems an un-
necessary accomplishment in this
case" he said, 'tbut experience has
taught me that anybody who is ex-
pert in figures can read any kind of
literature put before him with great

/ YEAR ON TRAINS.

The ordeal OF spending a year on
trains has been gone through with
by an American in Europe for q wag-
Her of $4,000, His route was from
Vienna to Luiz, Salsburg and Luns-
bruck, repeated without missing a
train.
He was at first loath to take the
wager because experience had taught
him how wearisome railway train life
was. but the prospect of winning the
money for his family enticed him TO
accept. He soon realized that he had
moderated his troubles. Nervous at
tacks came on him when he stepped
from the train, and he felt the
ground quivering beneath him.
After some weeks of boundless
monotony, and although he read,
slept, spoke and moved about in his
compartment, he felt like one robbed
of his freedom. The specter of his
possibly going mad so tortured him
that he felt his will undergoing a
constant struggle not to go near the
door.
Worst OF all was the hot summer.
when only iron energy and complete
abstinence from smoking and drink
ing excepting fruit juices kept
him going. He ate little food.

Most POPULAR Name For Brides.

Ann was the most popular name
for brides in 1907 The Maggies. the
Marys, the Hates and the Rosies, all
of whom have in past years carried
off the honor, must now bow to Ann.
Thomas G.. Smith, the application
clerk of the marriage license bureau,
has for years kept a record of the
most popular names of brides, and
his records for 1907 show that there
have been more brides with Ann as
a handle to their names and sur
names than any other.
Katie carries off second honors,
and Mary. once so popular, drifted
away back to the seventh place. In
1906 Maggie won first place, but now
she takes third place.
