WASHINGTON, June Chris
tian Scientists here are divided In
sentiment today over the charges
made by Mrs. Della NJ Gilbert that
|"The Christian Science church is
without a spiritual leader in the
flesh" and that MRS. Eddy is
either dead or helpless, mingless
puppet in the hands OF conscience
less men,"
Bishop Oliver sabin, a former
leader OF the Chrhstian Science
church here, declared that every
word of Mrs. Gilbert's charge was
true, while Counsellor William L.
Post, head of the church's publica-
ition, asserted that he had suffic-
lient proof to show that the state.
Iment was untrue.
A dispatch from Boston says
that Mrs. Eddy took her usual
drive yesterday afternoon and that
she is in her usual health. Chris
titan scientists here treat Mrs. GIL
bert's charge as ridiculous.

WATCHING CERVERA AT SAN

The death of Admiral Cervera, com
mander of the Spanish fleet at Santiago,

great sailor George E. Graham, who
interviewed Cervera just after the dis
astrous battle, gives the following
graphic account of the Spanish COM
mander s behavior in defeat. As he
tells it in the Washington Herald:

was made, ''The enemy is escaping
His beautiful ship, the Maria Teresa,
painted black with gold and yellow
crest of Spain on its bow, looked as if
it had been newly vanished for the
occasion. Above her foated the great
ensigns of Spain, flags of douule silk
with heavy bullion embroidery, as if
she were coming out to a feast instead
of fight As she turned her PROV
west, I saw him a second on the for
ward bridge. in his immaculate white,
with his binoculars glued to his eyes,
taking a look at the opening between
the Brooklyn and the Iowa, where the
Massachusetts should have been. but
which position she had left to go down
for coal Then the shells began to hit
his ship, and, as they exploded, he was
covered in a mass of dense smoke. I
saw him no more during the fight
I saw the old admiral the next day
aboard the Harvard, prisoner of war,
and waiting TO be taken to Annapolis.
/ went aboard the Harvard with Com
modore Schley.
His short, rather pathetic figure, with
white, almost Womanlike skin, not
at all of the Spanish hue, and with
clear, bright eyes swapping from under
heavy eyebrows, was clad in an i'll
fitting pair of blue trousers which some
officer on the Gloucester had contributed
to cover his nakedness, for when he
was picked out of the water he simply
had on his underwear. A loose black
alpaca coat, which somebody else had
given. a straw hat size or two too
large for him, and pair of white can
vas .sneaks. - like the ordinary sailor
wears, made up his attire With all
this ludicrous dress he was still digni-
fed in looks and action when he rose
to greet Commodore Schley, .and the

THE TURNING OF THE TIDE.

When misfortune strikes us hardest
When the clouds hang dark and

When our tired feet scarce can bear us
Up the steps shat sleeper grow;
When our faith is almost shaken,
If we then could only learn
That 1.-THE tide is always lowest
When it's just about to turn
And the night seems always darkest,
While the stars are hid from sight,
When the dawn win soon be breaking
Mid a flood of golden light.

Though your cares be multiplied;
Wait with patience for the morning,
And the turning of the tide

GRAIN QUOTATIONS

CHICAGO, July 29.-Uncertainty re- garding the extent of damage, if any, to the spring wheat crop in the north west by black rust kept the wheat mar ket in a furry today and prices moved over wide range
 Toward the end of the first hour of the session a sharp rally occurred on buying, based on confirmation from two different sources of damage by rust in one section of North Dokota. On this bulge the price of the distant del iverics touched the highest point of the day, September advancing from lO43s to lO6. During the day July sold be- tween l07la and lO9A. The market closed weak with July l0S$s and Sep temher l041S.
 High temperatures in sections of the corn belt induced considerable cover ing by shorts in corn prices, resulting in firm tone for July and September. At the close prices were 1s to h lower to r higher, July being 7lA and Sep tember 667s.

DON'T LOOK FOR MUCH ACTIVITY
 UNTIL TARIFF QUESTION IS SETTLED

NEW YORK, July 29.-Adolph Lew. isohn, president of the United Metals Selling company, was passenger on the Luisltania, which arrived from Europe this morning. MT. Lewisohn when seen, expressed more or less op- timistic views regarding affairs in the parts of Europe visited by him during his two months stay over there.
 While in London he gave some at. tention to the copper situation. He said that he found considerable amount of metal stored in the various warehouses, all of which is included in the visible supply. During his stay in London there was apparently a lull in demand and prices of copper were correspondingly low.
 Mir. Lewisohn attributed these con ditions to the fact that consumers have been for some time sailing very close to the wind and buying metal only for immediate use.
 Regarding the visible supply of cop per in England he said that he doubted whether there was very much copper privately stored. In fact, believe, :" he said, "that it is pretty much all in licensed warehouses. The visible sup ply apparently was very small indeed. !"
 MT, Lewisohn further said that the copper outlook abroad displayed con siderable improvement as far as the near future was concerned. From statistics that l have seen,' he added, "it was indicated that the consumption of copper has increased since the first of the year. As whether there will be such activity in copper as there is in other trades until the tariff question is once, and for all settled'

SULLIVAN SHAFT ON CORDOVA IN GROUND OF SATIsFAC-
 TORY CHARACTER

Early yesterday morning, the work of connecting the Sulphide tunnel with the Live Oak vertical shaft, on the Live Oak property was completed, and a task which has been in progress for the past several months was finished.
 The work of driving to completion the Sulphide tunnel has important feat ures other than that of ascertaining to a certain extent, the presence of body of low grade sulphide ore.
 The tunnel, connecting with the Live Oak shaft, has opened up an excellent system of ventilation and the lack of air, which was a serious handicap dur ing the driving of the Sulphide, will be eliminated in the future.
 In addition, this tunnel will allow drainage facilities for all excavations above the 300 foot level, at which point it cuts the Live Oak vertical shaft, feature which is of importance from financial standpoint.
 The Sulphide tunnel, which is l250 feet in length is more than 200 feet in sulphides running better than per cent. As ventilation facilities have been provided, the work of crosscut- ting this ore body will be commenced at once, to determine its extent.
 In the Live Oak vertical shaft, where ore of better grade than that in the tunnel has been encountered, similar work wiIl also he akpn mn IT ia ba lieved that crosscutting from the shaft will show an ore of A higher grade than that which has so far been encounter ed.
 Prospects are very bright on this property and the development work for the next few months will be watched with interest by the public

One Hundred and Fifty Tons of High Grade Ore Co., ing Regularly to Shelter Bright Outlook

This record of industry for the past month could hardly be duplicated by any mine, however rich, that is listed as certain producer in the Globe dis trict at the present time. It is indie ative of prosperous condition that is truly remarkable. When it is further considered that force of only thirty men have been working at the shaft from which these quantities of ore have been taken, further food for reflection on the probable future of the Warrior mine is thus afforded. With the great increase of help and the gerater activ- ity assured by the strength of the big company that has recently taken over the Warrior property the picture that one can draw of the future of this rich mine is very alluring and withal very favorable to Globe, who mothers all local mining industries and profits thereby.

 Macomb had little to say regarding the commercializing of his invention, although he stated that he had con- vinced a representative of the Guggen- helms at Fl Paso that he could temper copper and that he was waiting to hear what sort of proposition the company would make him. Although the process
 if it proves feasible, will be worth millions to him, Macomb declares that his price of producing the tempered metal would be reasonable one, but he absolutely refuses to discles the SC. crets involved in the operation for any amount of money.
 Macomb is married and has small home in Benson, where he has resided for the last three years.

COPPER METAL GIVEN TEMPER
 OF KEEN RAZOR
BENSON MAN CLAIMS TO HAVE DISCOVERED ART LONG
 FORGOTTEN
PROCESS COSTS slO PER TON
IT REQUIRES FOUR YEARS TIME TO BRING METAL TO PROPER
 PERFECTION

BENSON, July 29.--M. Maeomb, a locomotive fireman running on the local freight between Benson and Lordsburg, N M., slaves himself with razor made of pure copper and when he sits down to eat he cuts his bread with an eight-inch knife made of the same metal. Maeomb says that he has solved the art of tempering copper lost centuries before the beginning of known civilization and those who have looked upon his handiwork and felt the keen edges are confident that his claims are based on no idle dream.
 lt IS only recently that Macomb has made public his discoveries and be says that he has already interested one of the largest copper concerns in the world in his invented process for which he has obtained United States patent. According to the inventor his father, who was' blacksmith, worked for thirty years in an effort to rediscover the lost art, turning over his work to his son several years before his death For tbe last five years Macomb has devoted all of his spare time to per. fecting the process and he says now that his experimental work is over that be has the process completed and that he can temper any quantity of copper to hardness superior to the hardest steel, but without the brittle qualities of the latter.
 According 10 the inventor, the pro. cess of tempering copper requires period of almost four years, but he states that he can with a plant that would cost about 5000, turn out a large quantity of the tempered product at cost not exceeding $l0 per ton, although it would be almost four years before any of it was ready for the market.
 Whether or not Macomb s process is of commercial value he undoubtedly has a razor and butcher knife made of pure copper that have edges rivaling the keenness of the finest steel razors which require practically no honing and

VALUE OF IRIDIUM AS A
 COMMERCIAL COMMODITY

The value of radium is said to be about $2l ,000 for gram. -or the ben eft of our readers who are not familiar with that metric measure of weight, we will say that the nickel scent piece weighs five grams In the presence of this remarkable substance, interest in diamonds, rubies and other precious things fades into nsigniicance. What wonder, then, that miners, metallurg- ists and scientists should be seeking to produce radium?
 We have observed recently reports of the operations of two concerns abroad. In one of them, Sir William Ramsay, consulting chemist to the British Radium corporation, Ltd, de- scribes his work on pitchblende from Trenwith, in Cornwall, and the success full extraction, by his own process of the first British radium. Of the 2,240 pounds of high grade pitchblende con centrates he expects to be able to ob- tain something like 196 miligrams of radium reckoned as brimide. Sir Will. jam recommends the immediate install lation of a plant for the regular extrac- tion of radium.
 It looks. however, as if the British Radium corporation, Ltd, might be out done by a Swedish company recently formed under the name of "Kolm' to acquire the patents of Dr. Gustaf Eel. sing. This company bases it's hopes on the mineral ''kolm," kind of coal which is said to occur in alum schists in Sweden. Its ash contains 2i2 per cent of uranium. It is anticipated that n ton of "kolm' will give five ,milli- grams of radium sulphate.
 The deposits of "kolm" are said to be extensive. Are we to look for q debacle in the market for radum! We recently reported the purchase of 7h grams at $15O,O O0O.-Engineering and Mining Journal.
