THIS IS MY 5IsT BIRTHDAY.
Earl of (;reUe

The earl of of Crewe. who holds the
important post of secretary of state for
the colonies in the British cabinet, was
born in London, Jan. IL, 1853. He is a
son of the first Baron Houghton (Rich-
ard Monckton Milnes). noted as a writ
er and politician and is son-in-law of
Lord Roseberry, the former premier.
Lord Crewe was educated at Trinity
college, Cambridge, and began his pub
lie career soon after ahis graduation as
secretary to Earl Granville. His rise
in the public service was rapid and in
1892 he was appointed viceroy of Ire
land. His earldom dates from 1895,
the year which brought his tenure of
office as viceroy of Ireland to a close.
He is poss essed of great wealth and is
known as a keen sportsman, though
perhaps in private life he is most not
able for his literary tastes. which he
probably inherits from his father,
whose literary genius was fully recog-
nized by Mr. Gladstone and his con-
temporaries.

 New York, May 22.-The recent weeks security market nas been very uninterestiEg and the public participa- ton had dwlndled down to almost no thing leaving operations on the stock exchange largely to room traders. The uncertainty and narrowness ct stock movement prevailing have been such as to discourage speculation by the public. However, it is worthy o. note and much significance may be attached to the future in the closing prices of the week, which were al about the best. Probably the chief market feature was the selling Of Steel Commo to new high record Continued absorption of this ste across 50 without Hpectacuar ma nipulation speaks well for a much higher price later in the year, the ful restoration of Steel commodity prices with an abnormal tonnage likely to be booked in the coming year and the possibility Of a five percent dividend are reasons for buy ing. Crop conditions appear to be bettering in most localities although it is too early to make predictions. Railway interests and bankers are well satisfied with the outlook. There is great stability in the banking bus ines and conditions prevail that will work for continued slow, but healthy improvement.

PRESIDENT
 MAKES YEARS REPORT

In his annual report 70 stockholders President Thomas Bardcn. of the Shattuck Arizona Copper Co. says the efforts of the management during the year have been directed in develop ing the property to point where the shipping capacity can be increased.
 He says: More than s70.000 was expended in this work, and the possi- ble daily output of the mine has been increased twenty-five per cent. over what it was a year ago. At present there are nearly four miles of drifts and crosscuts under ground on the sixth. seventh and eighth and ninth levels.
 At the present time the plant is of ample capacity to handle soc tons of ore daily, and the efforts of the off, cials have been directed towards de yeloping the property so that when desired. that quantity of ore may be mined and shipped daily: it being more economical 10 run the plant to its full capacity.
 No ore has been mined from the property during the past year. ex- cepting in the progress of develop ment work From the first com mencement of mining, in 1906. up to the present tir1e. work has been pros ecuted on less than one-fortieth of the owned by the company. Pre- vious to December. 1908, the total production of the Shattuck mine was | .S37.Is2 pounds of copper. At pres ent over half a million tons of ore. by careful measurements. is shown up in this limited area and is ready to be min ed and shipped, and the development is steadily uncover ing large and rich ore bodies in the same restricted district.
 It has not been deemed advisable to build a smelter at present, or until work has progressed sui ficiently far to enable the plant to be operated at it's full capacity and in the most economical manner, and the price of copper metal reaches a sat istactory advance.
 At the present low price of copper. if has been considered advisable to ship our ore to any custom smelter. it being thought wiser to direct our efforts toward vigorously developing the mine. which we are doing and putting it in a position to ship to the capacity of the plant when the condi- lions of the copper market change and prices will yield a more reason able profit to stockholders on the ore mined and shipped. There is no ad- vantage fin taking the ore when the price realized from same does not yield a more profitable margin over ihe cost of production than it does at the present time.-Boston Financial News
