DAYTON MAN MANUFACTURES
VIOLIN BY HARD WORK

DAYTON. Wash, Feb. 16.-(Spe-
ciaD-Dick Harper, a wealthy mer-
chant of Dayton has just completed a
perfect model of a Stradivarious vio-
lin, which musicians say is worth from
$40 to $50 Harper had seldom held
violin in his hands before attempt
ing this feat of handicraft and the re-
suits of his three months of toll, is
a marvel to his friends who have eX-
amined the instrument Part of the
violin is made of native fir, only the
back being carved from eastern white
maple: Harper will probably never
make another violin-because violin
making isn't his business but he will
keen this one he says. Musicians de-
clare the tone and PROPORTIONS of the

instrument should be worth several
hundred dollars. Explaining why he
came to undertake SO tedious a task,

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 16.-All of the
big mines with the exception of six
are down tonight, with prospects of
a prolonged suspension. The Interna
tional Engineers are standing firm
and thus far have the whip hand of
the situation. The Clark Reduction
Works will colse down tomorrow, ac-
cord.ne TO an official statement this
afternoon All the Clark mines are
down No encouragement for aneli-
Grafton of conditions is held forth by
the mine managers tonight. Large
forces were laid off at the Washoe
Smelter at Anaconda today, apparent
ly in preparation for a shutdown of
that plant. It is not believed that the
operation of six Amalgamated prop
critics can keep the smelters in opera
ton and unless the other mines re-
sumo, the plant will be compelled to
close
The suspension of the Clark smelter
will compel number of small mines
to close down.

NEW YORK, Feb. .16.-Subtract the
dealings in Reading from today's
stock market and only a meagre ag-
gregate would remain. Even United
States Steel the unvarying leader of
the market for many months, was
completely overshadowed. No news de-
veloped explain the Reading move
ment beyond the revival of the Read
ing mystery as it is known to the
professional element in the operation
in stocks. The mystery had to do
with the supposed concealed assets Of
the Reading company
The point made in the present move
ment is that the company will be
obliged to make report under the
terms of the corporation income tax
law which will disclose it's conceal
ed assets"
The second preferred stock was
marked up today to conform to the
supposed exchange into common and
first preferred stock. This privilege
prevailed when the first preferred
privilege made that stock more valu-
able than either the second preferred
or common stock, and when the chan
ces of the common stock sharing in
dividend payments were problematical
so that the exchange of half of the
second preferred into common stock
might present financial advantage
to the company. The purpose of such
