is there in religion that is neces-

Walsh is different in other
ways. He does not seek newspa-
per notoriety by bombastic chat
ter; does not carouse or announce
his marriage to a chorus girl. and
does his training quietly, with his
sister as chief-of-staff.
When in training Walsh fol-
lows the usual methods. punching
the bag, wrestling, boxing, run
ming on the road, playing with the
medicine ball, etc. He differs
from other pugilists only in his
diet. He is strong for nuts, vege-
tables and fruits, and his sitter,
who oversees TO the preparation OF
his food, Is an expert at getting
up tempting dishes for bread-wfn-
ming brother.

SCORE CARDS GRATIS
TO ATHLETIC FANS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. II.
One. more step has been
made in bringing base ball to
a state of perfection. The
local American league club
has announced it's attention
of supplying score cards free
to spectators. The Athletics
will benefit from this scheme.
The fans take more interest
in the game when they can
score 1t, and many who spend
20 cents to see a game, +, do
not feel inclined to give an
additional nickel for card. Il
The amount from the sale of
cards is not so large that the
management will miss IL, &
while the knowledge that the
patronage is benefited, will
lead other clubs to follow in \
the steps of the leaders, it is
believed.

GEENE-CANANEA

The 1908 report of the Greene Con-
solldated Copper company. as fore.
Ghadowed in numerous articles in our
letters. is remarkable evidence OF the
economies that may be effected by an
up-to-date mining management. TO re-
duce the cost of producing pound OF
copper from something like II cents to
101s cents. within two years time. is
really a wonderful achievement, and
one which should not lightly be passed
by.
We cite several typical examples of
the reduction in operating costs as fol
lows: A decrease In the cost OF mining
from S3S5 per ton 20 S2l3; in the
daily smelter pay roll from Sl.S2. 10

crease in the cost per ton OF ores and
concentrates from So 50 TO 50 68: in
the total cost OF mining and benehciat-
ing ton of ore from S1O-2l to S59'.
The dollars and cents result to the
company may be appreciated by the
following quotation; Had We been
able to mine and beneiciate the ore
for the l5 months ending October 81,
1907. under present conditions. the
cost would have been decreased by
about 81. $50, 600, plus the value OF the
