st, Louis, Md.--Pete is pensloner
now
Heroism and long service have at
last won recognition. Pete saved the
lives of ten men, and for the re-
mainder of his life he win have moth
ing to do but eat and sleep and kick
up his heels
Pete Is a little bay mule, who for
many years has worked in the SUM
nit coal mines. four miles west OF
Bellevile He was never idle day.
except Sundays. and most Of the time
he was far below the su1face Of the
earth, pulling cars Of coal through the
narrow mine passages.
Unlike most animals of this service,
Pete did not go blind His eyes are
still keen and he will have no diff
Guilty finding choice tid-bits Of thistle
down in the big pasture which in flu
ture will be his country estate.
Pete has been the pride of the mine
since the day when he saved the
lives of the shift with which be
worked.
Pulling his little car of coal through
one of the mine passages, Pete sud
denly broke from the brisk walk
which was his US al gait and started
of down the dimly lighted corridor at
gallop
The ten men behind him thought he
was running away. and they started
after him, Into the next chamber they
followed him. and just as they
reached 1t there was a rumble a roar,
and crash behind them. The roof
of the chamber they had just left had
given way. Had they been there they
would have been buried under tons
of rock
Pete's ears, keener than theirs. had
heard the warning sound and he had
led them to safety.
In the 20 years that Pete has
worked in the mine he has been $3.50
days below ground Fifty days in
each year he worked on the surface,
hauling timbers and rubbish.
While in the mine he travelled en-
average of four miles a day. the total
distance which he covered being %
900 miles. Had he stayed above
ground and followed his nose he would
have gone around the earth in that
time.

of coal day, total of 81, $50 tons, or
70,3l2,250 pounds. At the st. Louis
market price of three dollars a ton
this coal would bring s93.750.
William Edwin, manager of the
mine, issued an order by which Pete
is forever relieved of doing his humble
share in aiding to the wealth of ma
ticns.

COPPER CONSUMPIIOA
 LESS THAN IN l906
Steady Increase in Already Heavy Stocks Inevitable Re-
 suit of Short Demand

BOSTON. April 1.-There is com paratively Title business doing in cop Ter. There certainly is no buying of large amounts. The big consuming interests are not in the least tempted by present low prices to contract be- yond their imme diate requirements.
 It is clearly evident that consump- ton in this country is not better than GO per cent of the 1906 figures. while production still continues at the max imum Only one result can follow this condition of affairs-a steady in crease in the already heavy accumu- iation.
 Considerable interest attaches to the figures of the Copper Producers Association. to be published on the 10th of next month. and the general belief Is that, notwithstanding the large sales of copper made during the first week in March, the deliveries on which will probably extend over the next three or four months. there will be at least l0.000.OOO pounds and perhaps more, added to the aecumula- on of 173,2s4.000 pounds as to date March 1.
 The Lake producers are not press ing their product for sale and the market may be quoted at 12 2-4 to 12 7-8 cents, while electrolytic brands are going at 12 1-2 and 12 5-S cents.

MINING, SHELTERS AND STOCK QUOTATIONS
SALOME STRIKE HAS THE
 REAL YELLOW STREAK IN II

q am surprised at the lethargy o' the people of Phoenix" exclaimed John W. sharpe. who is in the city from the SaIome strike.
 "If this gold strike had occurred in any other state in the union the people would be wild about it. It is the greatest gold strike in the his tory of the world, in a quartz lorna 1t is going to result in opening up the tion. and 1 am firmly convinced that greatest mining reg on of the world.
 Here Alr. Sharpe drew forth a piece of quartz, fairly sparkling with yellow values, and passed il over to the reporter.
 That piece of quartz is from the last blast made before my departure, and this piece of quartz (handing out another quartz not so yellow) Is one of the first. You will see that the strike is growing better with every cred this gold were afraid to dig fer fear the strike would exhaust; but the development work has been gcins on now until there is evidence of d four-foOt vein approaching 6 ledge. 1t is not possible that the ledge will show such marvellous values as the vein. This would be a miracle. but there ls no doubt that this Is the rich est strike in the world. and Phoenix people rhould realize it. I will not say that we are on the main ore body, but it is certain that we have passe i beyond the pocket idea and are de velopi1g a wonderful mine-a mine that should fill the country with pros pectors."
 Are you working the mine now? Mir Sharpe was asked.
 "Oh, yes. We have three men
