week Monday evening, at the fair to
raise money for the Champlain Tercent-

interesting program of varied selections
that greatly pleased the appreciative
audience and called for several encores.
His imitation of district school enter

What He Was Allowed to Do

A Presbyterian delegate who was
accustomed to being sent to denomina-
tional conventions to extend fraternal
greetings was delegated to the general
conference Of the Methodist Episcopal

Rising to speak, he said it was al
ways an interesting study to him to
note the different receptions accorded
him at the conventions Of the various
denominations.

Luck, as will readily be understood
Is a factor that enters very largely
into golf. Perhaps the most notable
case on record is that of jamie An
derson when competing for the cham
pionship at Prestwi,k In 1878. He had
just teed his ball for the seventeenth
drive when little girl standing
among the spectators remarked that
he had unconSci usly placed it just in
front of the proper line. Although
nobody else hid mott ed the fact. this
proved on eXamiIation by the referee
to be correct Thereupon Anderson
teed his ball again In a fresh position
we'll behind the line and made a drive
which landed him In the hole and
eventually enabled him to win the
match. If. however he had played II
from the original spot he would have
been penaliZed a stroke and have lost
the championship Clearly, then. luck
on the links is something to be taken
into consideration whatever nonbeiev-
ers may say to the Bailey's

COPPER MAKES
 MUCH BETTER
 SHOWING NOW
An improving Trade Situation
 - AmaIgamated Directors
 Reported Having Purchased 50,oO0,00 Pounds of Copper

Boston.-A high authority on copper says:
 T figure the consumtiion of copper in the United States for March al around 55.00O,0OO pounds. as com pared with 4S,OOO.O00 pounds in Febru- ary. and by May, domestic consump- ton figures should reach the 65,00O,- 000 mark at the present rate of in- crease. With normal exports. say 45.000.00O pounds per month. that will come pretty near taking care of he production of copper eyen on the present large scale
 There has been no stocking up by the large consumers. There are 1900 trolley roads in the United States and I doubt. if a canvass was made, if an average of one coil of copper wire per road could be found, whereas a normal supply of these roads will be 50 tons each, which would mean 120.000,000 pounds of copper wire in stock. There has been no reconstruction by the trolley roads to amount to anything, and the day Of reckoning will soon come. In another six months I expect all the wire plants to be rushed with orders.
 Tt is true that there has been large amounts of copper purchased
 for speculation that will re-enter the market. This may prevent too sudden rise in prices and will not dis turb the situation
 T have it on pretty good authority that some Amalgamated directors TUT 1 chased 50O00,0 pounds of coppe~ at I12 1-2 cents. from companies tthe- | than the Amalgamated selling through Ithe United Metals Selling company. | This purchase probably accounts iE | large measure, for the reported large sales by the United Metals Selling 1 company.
 "U. H. Broughton has come in for a great deal of criticism in connec- | ton with the recent selling of cop per. but this is 8 time when apparent | ly he has not been frightened> He. is not responsible for the low quotations. | Apparently some of the large | New York and London copper in- ! terests. including the. American Smel' | ters company and the American Metal comrany On this side and H. R. MeT- | ton & Co. in London, tried to force ] the hands of the United Metals Sell ! ing company and compel it to liquidate | 9 large line of copper at 12 cents | These Interests sold copper both in
 this country and abroad at 12 1-2 cents | but they did not succeed in forcing MT. Broughton's hand this time, pos 1 sibly because the Amalgamated in-
 siders took a large block of the cop ! per.
 It is very apparent that the United l Metals Sc ling company has the bulk of the unsold copper in this country 1 today. and if anybody desires to buy heavily, they will be obliged to see the Analgamated people. The Gug genheim interests have sold good part of their copper ahead into June at the low prices and have been th' subject of criticism.
 Tt has been a hard market to, witi copper piling up by reason of produc

COPPER QUEEN IS

Without any fuss or feathers, the Imperial copper mine is rapidly com ing to the front as one of the prom inent copper mines. The smelter at Sasco is regularly turning out blister copper from the Imperial and treat ing about eight hundred tons of ore day. Preparations are being made to increase the plant when larger production will undoubtedly be main tained, says the Arizona epublican.
 During the month of March 2s,000 tons of ore was received at the smell ter from the mine, A miles south of Sasco. The copper content Of the ore has not been officially reported. but the mine is probably breaking about four or five per cent ore, pos sibly even higher. Estimating con tent of per cent means hundred pounds of copper for every ton of ore and for the month of March from that tonnage the production of copper would amount to about S4,OO0,OOO pounds. This is a record and places the Imperial well toward the front rank of the copper producers of Ari- zona, surpassed only by four or five others. All this production came from two furnaces. No. having been blown fin just a year ago and has not been cold since One of the possibilities for the coming year is another fur mace.
 The mine is served by a standard guage railroad equipped with steel cars having a capacity of 60 tons The road runs from Sasco to Imperial and Silverbell and is about fourteen miles long.
 No custom ore is yet handled at the smelter and it is not known just when outside shipments will be in vited. probably not until the smelter is enlarged and more room is added than is TOW necessary for their own ores.

MINING, SHELTERS AND STOCK QUOTATIONS
IMPERIAL COPPER COMPANY
 NOW FORGING ID FRONT

tained since 1904, when over three million pounds were produced for that year, the following nearly six mil lion pounds was made and in 1906, about five million pounds was pro duced. The production in 1907 amounted tc about five and a quar- ter million pounds and for 1908 over six and one-half million pounds. The copper handbook is authority for the statement that the ores that were pro duced in these years, the former ones. averaged better than 3 per cent. This is probably correct, but with increas- ed production it is no doubt true that the average has been reduced some what. Five per cent is good enough. Only two or three mines in the world exceed this, yet it is possible their ore is averaging even better than that now. The ores are direct smelt- ing, nearly self-huxing compared to the other contact metamorphic de- posit type of mines in Arizona. The usual amount of gold and silver is with the copper as in other copper mines.
 The company has capital oi five million dollars. having five hundred thousand shares with a par value of ten dollars. The company is conduct ed as a close corporation controlled by Frank NJ.
