AFTER-DINNER oRAToRV.

Good a~fter-dinner speaking has
become a lost art and poor after-din-
ner speaking a public nuisance. Per
haps its successor will be paid vau-
deville perhaps a new race Of ora-
tors will grow up. Meanwhile, let
the orator who survives remember
that when a mar has enjoyed a good
rcpast, while he has no objection to
being instructed and improved, he
wants primarily to be amused, and
even that very briefly. Perhaps he
should wish to hear an essay or an.
cient anecdotes, but he doesn't. and
he who has naught but these to Of.
fer had better during the coming
season decline invitations to speak or

Copper ores shipped from the Couer d'Alene district yielded not able addition of silver to the pro duction of Idaho, which for this class of ore is now nearly 600,000. The sil- yer from California copper ores was nearly doubled in 1906 owing to greatly increased activity in Shasta county and now approaches S00.O0O ounces. Almost all of the silver bearing copper ores Of the west are now sulphides. Small uantitiss of OK idized ores are still contributed by Arizona and New Mexico.
 The lead ores have always been one of the most important sources of silver, but a declining tendency in the output has been noted during the last few years. The total is now only about 15.000, 900 ounces Idaho is far in advance with over 100000 ounces. derived chiefly from the low grade lead ores oE the Occur dAlene dis triet which averages about half cent in gold and 5 ounces in silver per ton. These figures are, of course, materially raised by concentration or the ore. Colorado follows Idaao with a production of about S,50G,OOO ounces, a notable loss compared with
 
 the previous year and with 1904. Aspen, Leadville. and Clear Creek continue to be the most productive districts. Utah ranks third with about 2,700,000 ounces, which is not ably less than the output of 1905. The Park City district still further reduced it's output Of silver from lead ores Arizona ranks fourth with 700, ,0a0 ounces, to which Tombstone ores contribute largely. Montana, formerly an important producer of lead ores. now ranks fifta. with an output of only 300. 900 ounces.
 Oxidized lead ores now yield very little silver Oorss of this character are nearly exhausted. Small uanti- ties are still furnished by Leadfille, Aspen. and other placers in Colorado, ard by Arizona. New Mexico and Nevada.
 Copper-iead ores. more or less mixed with sphalerite, are marketed almost exclusively from Utah, a smaller uantity coming from Mon tana. The Tintic and Park City dls- tricts yield nearly the whole of the Utah production, most of t coming

ON THE WHOLE STOCK LIS!
 STANDS WELL
No Indications Of Pressure To Sell, But Effort To Buy On All Weak Spots Among the Copper Stocks.
(By Frank J. Grail

The close or the weeks market shows lower prices for a few stocks but in general the entire list is being well supported and from all indica- tions there is no presseure to sell, but an effort to buy on all weak spots
 Amaigamated, however, shows a de- cline of four points for the week. which is the heaviest decline of any of the copper stocks. possibly with the exception of Calumet & Arizona
 Calumet & Arizona sold as high as s1l5 and as low as S110. Superior & Pittsburg has been the most active stock on the. list during the week, al though it did not reach as high a point as expected. l am inclined to believe that Superior & Pitsburg will see much higher prices in the very near future, especially after the fur naces are ready and in a position to handle three million pounds of cop per per month. Denn-Arizona also showed considerable activity and at times durng the week it was almost impossible to get Denn, but $5.25 brought out a little and at the close of today's market there were a few sales made at $500. Shattuck-Arizona at the fore part of the week was very strong and the demand was good, al though little or no stock was offered, and a decline was noted at the close of the days market Greene Calanea reached as high as S9.62 and some sales were made on the curb as high as $10. but at this figure there seem
 ed to be tendency to sell rather than buy and sold as low as $500 in small lots. Butte Coalition and North Butte show fractional declines. Warren which could not be bought at or near the market price was offered freely at the close of the weeks market. The coming week should be very good one for those that sold out at higher figures are now in a position to buy up again and go up with the market, taking the profits as they have been doing the entire present week.

Bisbee, Jan. 26, 1908.
 The week ending finds the market quiet and dull with prices somewhat lower than they were a week ago. The New York and Boston markets were weak at-the opening, but another good bank statement created a better feel ing and there was a little rally in some of the listed issues before the close.
 The C1Ib bs are weak and snow frac- tinnal declines all along the list with the exception of Superior & Pittsburg, and Wolverine & Arizona, which show slight gains.
 Denn is inconsiderabls demand with the price remaining unchanged. Globe also is holding firm with little com ing out under $500. Shattuck and Warren show some weakness.
 Reports from the Butte 6 Arizona to the effect that some very good ore is being encountered in the contact has caused this stock to be scarce with sales in Butte today at 4Sh cents and we look for a substantial rise for this stock.

B. J. Ames, H. c. Beumler and s. s. Badger, officers and consulting en. gineer of the Bisbee-Sonora Develop ment Company, Douglas, Arizona, were in Bisbee yesterday inspecting the work on the Ohio Group of claims, one of the properties of the company. They paid a visit to the Shattuck to see the aerial tramway. as they are arranging for one to be placed on their property in the Chiricauhas, where they are working a force of fifteen men at present
 In speaking of the company's work in the ChiricaIhas, B. J. Ames, presi- dent of the Bisbee-Sonora, said: We are driving the tunnel as fast as pos. sible and are now in 173. We are just now installing power drills on the property and drills on the property, and will this week be working our new machinery. We hope to be ship ping within a short time. The ledge which we are now cutting in our tun- nel is more than sixty feet wide on the surface and the tests which have been made at the Copper Queen and Cal umet & Arizona smelters have never been below $40 per ton. We have gone through fourteen feet of good concen- trating ore.
 'aThe Bisbee-Sonora has not lost single shift on account of the present financial strain which the country has gone through, and are in excellent shape to continue the work just as fast as the property warrants.
 We have it conveniently arranged now. as we can leave Douglas in the morning by automobile. and after spending several hours at the mine return to Douglas before dark We expect to see much activity in the Chiricauhas this year. Our company expect to have at least thirty men at work by May l.

WAS ARIzONES HRoT
 PRODUCER OF COPPER.
General Manager of Planet Copper Company Tells Of
 Work On Old Mine.

N. H. Partridge, general manager of the Planet Copper Msaing com pany. developing the Planet mine in Yuma county, reputed to be the first copper mine ever operated at a profit In this Territory. was this week in Prescott purchasing supplies. jHe is very enthusiastic over the future prospects of the new copper country opened by the Arizona & California railroad. He stated that he was con fident that it would develop into one of the greatest mineral producing regions of the west
 The Planet mine has the reputa- tion Of being the first copper mine ever operated at a profit for any con siderable length of time in the Terri tory" said Mir. Partridge. Tt was discovered in the cos and ore from it's surface workings was shipped on fat boats from La Paz, on the Colo rado river. to the Gulf of California, where it was loaded on sailing yes sels and taken to Wales for treatment.
 The mine has been under develop ment by the Planet Copper company for the last five years. It is opened on the dip of the vein, on a fifteen degree incline, to a depth of seven hundred feet. A perpendicular work. ing shaft is being sunk which will tap the ore body at a depth of 400 feet. This shaft is now down 200 feet and an air compressor is being in stalled to assist in making better headway in sinking. There are two hoists in operation. There is a thirty ton smslter on the ground, but the company does not care to operate such small plant.
 The ore body, which is a high grade copper, carrying little gold or other values, ranges in thickness from three to twenty feet The shoot has been proven distance of 5000 feet. The ledge is eroded by a gulch where the rich ore was first discovered. Much of the work done in the early years of it's history was in this gulch. The oXidiZed ores have not been re- placed yet by sulphides in the bot tom, although several small bodies of sulphides have been opened in the va rious workings in the lower levels.
 The Planet Copper Mining com pany's holdings, comprising zoo acres of the best timbered land in the Bill Williams Fork river section, is located twenty-eight miles north of Bouse, the nearest accessible railroad sta- tion on the Arizona & California rail road. Previous to the building of the line all supplies reached the camp from Yucca, fffty-two miles north, on the main line of the Santa Fe rail road.
 ''The holdings of the company en- brace large and valuable iron de- posits, averaging 50 per cent iron, with very little phosphorus"
 Mir. Partridge also stated that the famous McCracken mine, located if teen miles northeast of the Planet, was fast becoming the scene of active operations. It is a silver-lead prop erty that yielded handsomely in the early 70's. It has been idle many years. It was recently purchased by the Western Development company, backed by Chicago capital. It is opened deeper than any other mining property in that immediate section and is said to have a very promising ore showing.
