Review of the Copper Handbook

Copper hNpOpht JuSN ASNNNN bp tbe author Mir. Horace J. Stevens, of Houghton, Michigan, is at hand. It is an octave volume of 300 pages, in brevier type, but by slight increases in the width and heigth of the printed matter on each page, together with a reduction in the leading, but without using smaller face of type, each page carries one third more matter than formerly, and the new edition, with only 1900 pages, contains one half more matter than the preceding edition, which had 1,22S pages.
 Theprincipal chapter of the book, devoted to detailed descriptions of the copper mines of the globe, has 1, 1885 pages, describing no less than 6,767 copper mines and cop per companies, in all parts of the world, comparing with 4,627 listed in the preceding edition. This long chapter, which was unrevised in volume VII, owing to fire, acci- dent and illness, has been com pletely rewritten, even the obitua- ries of the defunct companies hav- ing been improved by the addition of neat verbal tombstones.
 Copper is considered under a great variety of heads, in the pre- liminary chapters of the book, these giving, in non-technical but correct language, vast amount ot information relating to the geology and mineralogy of copper and cop per ores, with chapters devoted to mining, milling, smelling, teaching and refining, and yet other chap ters treating of the history of the metals, brands, grades, substitutes and uses. The very complete glos- sary of mining terms is reprinted from Vol. VII. The final chapter, devoted to statistics, is the most complete and compendious given in any work dealing with the sub ject, whether issued officially or privately, and it's authority has been recognized officially and by the copper trade.
 It is rarely that a single work is found of such general importance to such great diversity of inter e8ts as is the Copper Handbook, which is practically an encyclop- edia of the entire subject of copper, and, as such, is of equal interest to miner, metallurgist. re6ner, pro- ducer and consumer. To the in. vestor or speculator in copper shares, it is as nearly indispensable as a work of reference can become As usual, the Copper Handbook i' exceedingly frank in its comments and the descriptions of mining companies considered by the author to be dishonest, are marked by thc utmost limit of plain-speaking
 That seven preceding editions, em
 oodylng language of the same tart
 ness, have appeared without
 single libel suit being brought int,
 court, though many going com
 panles are branded as swindles, i
 evidence that Mir. Stevens, not
 "lthslanding the fact that he de
 hounces several hundred com
 panles as frauds, is sure of hi
 ground in making such scathin
 altfalgnments as are contained i book.

In the Methodist church Sunday
night has accomplished one thing II
it never does more, and that Is that 1t
has started a good deal of tongue
wagging regarding the saloon ques-
ton IN general, which may result in
something a great deal more asubstan-
tial than talk. It is quietly rumored
that the ultimatum will be read to
more than one Lake county saloon
keeper in as many different parts Of
the county and that the blind tigers
will have their eyes opened and their
tails cropped close to the stumps in
a movement about to be started. It
certainly looks as II the saloon was
in for a long Siege of turmoil and
strife and the worst Of the situation
is that the good will have the suffer

SEEN AT SEAFORD

young men of this town. .. William
Priff G. Earl Donoho. W. Alcaid
Wright. A. Layton Shipley, and J
Emory Wiley. who on last Sunday af-
ternoon went TO woods three miles
west Of here, in search of arbutus. re-
port as having seen a queer freak of
nature IN the shape of a dog.
When the animal made its first ap-
pearance by emerging from a brush
pile. the young men were frightened
and would have run, had the creature
shown any signs of ferocity. But the
thing, which was about two feet TAN
with large hoofed feet. and a head
shaped like a dogs, started toward the
Nanticoke river.
The young men gathered clubs and
pursued the animal, but it reached the
river and swan TO the opposite shore
and disappeared in the bushes.
These young men attended a play
at the Opera House on Saturday even
ing where the Jersey Devir' was pro-
duced. and people accuse them of
imagining the story. However, they
are firm in their statements, and de-
clare they viii guide, any one who
wishes TO go to the spot. and there
show him sufficient evidence to con-
vince him that the story is not false
one.
