New York, April 25.-Since the
opening this morning, gossip has been
somewhat scarce. Investigation shows
that the published reports OF crop
damage have been greatly exaggerated
and while there has been undoubtedly
a good deal Of damage to fruit and
crop is insignificant. The street has
been somewhat surprised at the un-
usual heavy exports of gold announced
this morning. about $11,00O,O00 having
90 far been engaged for export, which
brings the total export figures higher
than had been anticipated. This has,
however, not affected the money mar
ket as yet While rates for time mon
ey are about the same this morning
that they were last week. the offerings
are i'm excess of the bids and the
money brokers like stock brokers. are
complaining about the lack of bust
ness.
1t seems 10 me that we had about
all the bad news during the last week
that we are entitled TO. There has
been considerable liquidation i'm stocks.
The technical position of the market is
better than ii was a week ago and I
think 1t will take very little to start
this market up again.-J. w. Prentiss.

pany is exposing a well mineralized
vein at a depth of 175 feet, says the
Globe Silver Belt. At the lower part
of the shaft the iron and manganese
content together with occasional
punches of copper mineral gives TO the
vein a promising appearance. The
hanging wall is obscured by n broad

the shaft The sinking of the shaft is
continued by hand drilling and the
waste is hoisted to the surface by
means Of a within.
At the depth of 100 feet n level has
been established and from a point a
short distance north of the shaft cross
cuts are being driven toward both
walls to determine the width of the
vein and the exact nature of the min
eraized material with which ii is filed.
These crosscuts will be continued
through both walls to further deter

producing $50 tons of ore daily. which
we are shipping to the Copper Queen

Shattuck Arizona company over $31
per ton. This provides for profits of
$4,000 per day which is at the rate OF
So per share annually on our $4,000

been to conserve our ore for higher
prices of metal and our production will
be regulated accordingly. The mine is
already equipped to handle three times
our present ore output without addi-
tional machinery. 1t is costing us at
present time 3 cents per pound to
make our copper and in this cost we
have included operating items of every

 Saturday night came the illuminated boat parade. It was a pleasing event and fittingly closed the seasons acquatic features. Out on the waters, as the line of boats passed in review, the scene made most pleasing spectacle. Above, the cloud-hecked heavens, crowded with myraid stars in wonderful constellations. Over the surface of the lake, engulfing shadows, out of which wierd lights flashed, outlining in rugged silhuetts tiny craft moving hither and yon over the darkened surface.
 Now and then there would flash from some passing launch ruddy glow, and, as it danced over the water, it sent a quivering wave of light, which, reflect ing itself in the abysmal depths, flashed back a refraeting light that Rlowed and sparkled like gleam of diamonds in a midnight setting. Such was the scene that delighted those who Saturday night watched this panoramic flare of lights.

Country clergymen in attendance at a conference of agricultural educators and rural social workers at Amherst, Mass, adopted uniform program for country church work, the program to be put into operation as soon as they return to their respective parishes. The program calls for united work looking toward closer federation of churches, more public play grounds, better sanitation and increase in salaries for rural ministers. If there is any one thing that needs an increase these days it's the salary of the rural minister. Its shame the price m any a good man is expected to preach for.
