A hundred years ago and more, men wrung their hands and walked the floor. and worried over this and that, and thought their cares would squash them flat. Where are those worried beings now? The bearded goat, the festive COW eat grass above their mouldering bones, and jay birds call, in strident tones. And where the ills they worried oer? Forgotten all, for ever more. Gone all the sorrow and the woe, that lived a hundred years ago. The grief that makes you scream today, like other griefs, will pass away and when you've cashed your little string, and Jay birds o'er your bosom sing, the stranger, pausing there to view the marble works that cover you, will think upon the useless ness of human worry an1 distress. So let the worry business slide; live while you live, and when you've died, the folks will say around your bier: "Ee made hit while he was here .'' Walt Mason.

The following items of advice and information are taken from the Engi neering Journal.
 A miner who has been partaking too freely of intoxicants should never bs allowed to enter the workings of mi le. He is menace not only to hin- self but to his CO workers. Many in- stances could Se cited of serious ac- cidents caused by the act of some in- toxicated miner.
 Tn keeping his eyes open for care lessness, the mine foreman will do we'll to pay almost as much attention to the old and experienced miner often as to the beignner. The experi- enced miner often grows careless through long immunity from accidents, taking undue chances and performing some of his duties in manner that would bring forth from the foreman a well deserved rebuke if he were green hand.
 When it becomes necessary to enter an old abandoned shaft, some idea of it's general condition may be obtained by the use of an ordinary hand mir TOT. A sunbeam reflected into the shaft by means of the glass will illum- mate the shaft for several hundred feet. If hand mirror is not availa- ble, highly polished tape reel, the in ner surface of a watch lid, or any other polished rejecting surface, may serve the purpose. Of course, it is necessary that the sun be shining and that the shaft be in the open. By the use of this simple expedient, it is of- ten possible to determine whether or not the shaft is safe.

Under the signature of Ormsby Me Harg. acting secretary, the depart ment os commerce and labor has issued a circular to whom it may concern in reference to the laws for the protection and the regulation of the fisheries of Alsaka. These acts are those Of June If and June 26 1906.
 Under the laws of June 26 persons or corporations engaged in canning, curing or preserving fish products are subjected to certian taxes while speci- Il regulations and instructions are promulgated governing the business. The second law prohibits aliens from fishing in Alaskan waters. The depart ment circular suggests that persons engaged in the fish business and off cers of the department supervising Alaskan fisheries familiarize themsel- 
 yes with the regulations.
 The acting secretary makes public the following:
 During the inspection of the sal mon fisheries by the agents and repre- sentatives of this department they shall have at all times free and unob- structed access to all canneries, salt cries and other fishing establishments, and to all hatcheries.
 "Al persons, companies or corpora tions owning, operations, or using any trap-net, pound-net or fsh-wheel for taking salmon or other fish shall cause to be placed in a conspicuous place on said trap-net, pound-net, or hsh- wheel, the name of the person, company, or corporation owning, operating, or using same, together with distinc- tive number. letter or name which shall identify each particular trap-net, pound-net. or fish, heel, said letter. | ing and numbering to consist of black figures, not less than six inches in length, painted on white ground.
 "AIl persons, companies or corpora tions engaged in canning salmon shall forward to the bureau of fisheries, department of commerce and labor, Washington, D. C.. three copies of each and every different can label which it is designed to place upon the canned product.

Remarkable Uniformity
 In Price of Copper

As in previous years we summarize herewith the reports of the Lake Su- perior oppermining companies as to the amount of copper sold by them
 n 1908, the receipts for the same and the average price realized. The list is practically complete for Lake Suprior with the exception of the Calmet & Hecla, which does not report it's aver lge price. All of the other Lake Su- perior companies are characterized hy the fullpels of detail that they com municate to their stockholders.
 From the reports for 1908 it appears chat the various Lake companies real
 ized a remarkable uniformity Of price, the averages of majority falling be- tween l33 and 134 4c per lb. As in 1907 the Quincy realized the highest average. It is to be remarked. how ever. that the Quincy figure includes the net proceeds of the silver separa- ted which is not itemized in the re- port for that company. Aside from that the high price for the Quincy copper is easily explained by it's ex- ceptionally high quality and large number of steady customers who buy it without much regard to the com petitive offering of other brands of copper. The low average received by the Victoria may be explained by the small amount of it's sales, the bulk of which may have been effected during period of the year when the price for copper was lower than the average.
 Speaking generally, 1908 was nearly normal year, i. G., there was a steady sale for copper throughout the F months. Consequently, as is usually the case, under normal conditions, the average actually realized by the pro- ducrs came very close to the quota tional average of the Engineering and Mining Journal. Fifteen Michigan companies sold l25, 949, 24S lb. of cop per for SIG, 907, 498, an average of B. 34Sc. per lb. Comparison for series of years is made in an accompanying tablet. In l006 and 1907 the pro- ducers fell far short of realizing the quotational average. This was because the conditions in those years were so distinctly exceptional. A repetition of them, or anyting nearly like them, may not be seen in another 20 years. In 1906, the price for copper was boost. ed to the extraordinary figure of 2ec.

More men have attended the even- ing services at St. Agnes Church this week. The singing is an inspiration. "Impurity" will be the subject of Father Lees sermon tonight. The three weeks mission will be brought to close Sunday night in a service to men only, at 40.
 Last night Father Flanigan spoke on 'tIntemperance, and declared that nj ne-tenths of the misery and poverty in the world today is caused by this evil.
 sIt deprives a man of the nse of his reason, he said; lit injures his health, and predisposes his body for all kinds of diseases. It engenders crime. It aims deadly blow at the family and society, and corrupts re- ligion. If man who is Catholic spends his leisure moments in the sa- loon he neglects his family, and is re- sponsible for leading the young into the evil way, and is not Catholic, but violator of Gods law"
 Alter citing a hummer of figures show ing the great evils of intemperance in this country, he concluded by making an appeal to the men to abstain from touching and tasting that which is the father of all crime, the mother of every lniquity worst enemy, the devils best friend" Cleveland Leader,

per pound. The latter part of the rise occurred on comparatively small sales which the producers having disposed of the larger part of their output lower down. failed to realize extensively, wherefore they were outstripped by the quotational average. On the other hand in the precipitous decline of the second half of 1907 the quotation were again established by comparatively small sales and the producers were unable to effect large transactions un- til the market was near the bottom.
 Tn normal years like 1905 and 1908 the weight average and the quotational average agree very closely.
