 J. H. Thayer, carpenter, south Conway, Ark, says: "I am firmly convinced that Doan's Kidney Pills are all they are claimed to be. For nearly two years 1 had great deal of trouble from my back, and it was very painful for me to make a sudden movement or do any lift ing. often felt so miserable that 1 had to sit down and rest. One day l was telling an acquian- tance of my trouble and he advised me to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial, saying that they would sure ly cure me. I had little faith in the remedy, but decided to try it. I procured supply at Whites s drug store and the results of its use were all that could have been desired. In a short time my back was as strong as ever and l could do hard days work without the slighest inconvenience.

FoNTINELLE THE MAN OF MYSTERY

As a special feature W. F. Mann
has engaged Fontinelle, the European
novelty mechanical figure, to appear
with The Fighting Parson Company,
which makes its appearance in the
opera house in De Smet Dec. 18th.
F~ontinelle has also been called the
man of mystery as there is a doubt in
a great many minds whether he is a
wax figure or a human being; he does
everything but talk, drives double
rig. or automobile, and at the theatre
the figure is opened showing the in.
terror of the figure illuminated to
depth OF ten inches showing the
devices by which it is worked. Also
showing steering device by which he
turns from right to left. Meet him
face &c face il the theatre every night
at 7:30. See Fontinelle free on the

ARIZONA COMMERCIAL :
 IS BIG PROPERTY
President AmSter Predicts Company Will Be Large
 Producer

BOSTON, April 7.-President N. L. Amster of the Arizona Commercial Copper company says:
 Every week demonstrates more and more that the Arizona Commer- cial property is developing into one of the big mines in the country and before the close of the year We vi have entered the ranks of the pro ducers upon a substantial basis.
 ''The first unit of our smelter will be 400 tons instead Of 800 tons, and we are blocking out the ore prepara- tory to meeting our smelter demands. By the time cur smeltsr is in com mission we should be well into the rich portion Of the Black Hawk lode"
 A station S6 feet square has been cut On the 600-f0ot leve5 of Jhe Eureka shaft and crosscutting to the vein is in progress. Pumps will be installed at th.s station to handle the water and permit of the opening of the ttN-LOpl ana opt-iOCd itNtlS. "A station 36 feet, square has already been cut on the 700-foot level, but water has prevented further work th5Te. The new pumps. which are on the ground. wi be installed inside of fortnight and work should then Ercgress rapidly.
 The winze being sunk on the east ern end of the Black Hawk lode is in rich ore. It is nearing the 600-io7t level. at whica po.nt drifts will be 5un to inteEBect the Eureka shaft about 750 fest distant
 General Manager Bennie has now ordered ali his smelter equipment at a great saving in cost from the origi- nal estimates, because of the lower cost of materia S. The equipment is promised for delivery by June l and Manager Beanie promises completitn n of the plant by August I5, the date originally set
 The only alteration in the plans has been an enlargement in the fur naces from a capacity of 300 tons to 400 tons and the original construct T is all planned for a capacity enlarge nsnt to 800 tons per day, which can be made at au increased expenditure Of .ess than S10.000.

history of the industry, while the con sumption is not over 60 or 65 per cent Of the figure of two years ago.
 The coal mining interests do not ficod the market with more coal than the consumer and manufacturer can burn up. and unlike coal and Iron there is no way of figuring. even ap- proximately. the amount of copper ore which this country has in reserve
 This should make all tn more i'm perative the conservation of copper ore bodies. It is an economic waste for a copper mining company to ex haust its ore reserves and sell the copper product fer actually less than the cost of production, and yet this is what several of the h'gh-cost produc- CTS are doing today.
 ~If there was a known and mex haustible reserve of copper ores there might be a little reason in the atti- tude of those who refuse to listen to any scheme for earta.ling the output.

CHEAPER ID ACCUMULATE
 THAN CLOSE
Amalgamated Authority Says That Company Cannot Af- ford to Suspend Operations Even ai a Low Price

BOSTON, April "A Butte copper man says: q figure that no large copper interest is so badly hit by the low price of copper as the Analga mated interest. It has been figured that the dividends of Amalgamated Copper have all been paid from ths profits in copper at above 13 3-4 cents Copper was IS cents when Amalga mated was started, and when it fell below IT cents. the dividend was cut from $S to s2. It's dividends were again increased when copper was above IF cents. Below 15 cents cop Fer dividends are back to s2.
 The west is a great and growing country with labor in demand, and the Amalgamated cannot cut it's labor be CIV S3.50 per day.
 During the panic and stress oi years from 1903 to 1907 the silver lead mine owners of Coeur d Alene shut GoWA. off and on, for five years, 7 fighting for a g per day wage, and after five years warfare. they found themselves still O. the s3.50 scale.
 T am reliably informed that when the Amalgamated Copper company did shut down it cost S40O.GO0 per month to maintain the mines and ma Chinery clear of water. That means s5,e00.000 year outgo for Amalga- mated as a eosed proposition to raise the copper price or reduce the labor cost
 Anna gamated has therefore one of the most difficult problems bafore it in the whole copper world today It is cheaper for Amalgamated to ac- eumulate a surplus of copper and dump it at a loss if it has to, than to stand a S5,000,000 less, dispersion of its lator forces, gneran disorganiza- tion and the disintegrat on of the mines that will result from closing down. The closing down today of all Anna gamated Copper mines would not bring the supply of copper below the demand
 Tt is fortunate today for the share holders in Amalgamated that the stock is So widely stributed and that faith in copper and hope in Amalga- mated is so strong and abundant
 "Amalgamated stock is not in the brokers oSIces and cannot there efo5e e be raided by the Wall street bears as formerly. Neither are the man. agers of Amalgamated now inclined, as former.y, 10 large market specula- tions.
 ''The men who formerly were re sponsib'e market wise for Ama'ga- mated Copper are not now in the run ming.
 'I understand, however, that John D. Rocks feller, to assist hs oil asso- ciates. has taken over large blocks of Amalgamated Copper and has now more money in the enterprise either as lender or stockholder, than any body else. am not abe to confirm this report which comes tc me from good sources, but the stock actz to me as if it had a Rockefeller 70, and al of MT. Rockefeller's history shrows that he has never besn afraid of accUmulat'ng a substantial product like oil or copper"
