Suspension of operations is always disastrous, not alone from the sacrifice of return on invested capital, but from deterioration Of plant and injury 10 the mine. It means loss of money to shu. down, and k also involves heavy contributing expenditure. A close as- sociaiion of the copper producers for mutual protection seems necessitated. The logic of circumstances points in
 that direction. MT. ". F.. Corey is TOW said to be engaged iu forming a combination for this purpose. This

The opening of the new great mines of Nevada and Arizona in the dreary fog of fioanciai storm Is evidence of inspiring faith. If this faith be not shared oy the public. however. she results become detri-

This is condition which must cause the debit side of the copper-Iec- ger 70 look unpleasant for long time to come. The trouble has arisen largely from the uncertainty of the market, from the limitation of fore sight: and the latter has been rem dered the more difHcul, by the distub- ing influence of the Steel Corporation. The Independent steel producers are having 8 hard fgbt for their lives: ihe formation of copper trust affili- ased with the steel tr8st would drive the independ cut copper producer to bay and to ultimate surrender. To contemplate the extinction of compe- tisiOn in copper mining is no. pleas ant, but il would perhaps steady the commercial world and relieve tension. Industry in general would be promo ted.

 Both pitchers were quite effective, but they received poor support in the field, many of the so called base hits should have been easy outs. Captains Mahoney and Smith put up their usual good game in the field, and Herd was always there with the big stick.

| BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, Dec
24.-General Diaz of the insurgent
forces today began an advance
upon Managua, and it is believed
before tomorrow night Estrada s en-.
tire army will be moving toward
the capital. Since the sweeping de-
feat of the Zelayans at Rama and
Recaro, detachments of the rebel
army have been pursuing the troops
of the former president that avoid
ed capture.
These remnants of the dictator's
troops either have been driven to
the mountainous country in the in
terror, or have been disposed of,
and practically nothing stands in
the path of Estrada. 1t is believed
nothing can prevent the capital
from falling into the hands of the
