Copper is steady st unchanged prices. Both lake and e.ectrosytic continue to sell at 13 cents. There is no particular feature to the market except that deliveries continue unpre- cedently large. The foreign demand is very strong, and the steadily de creasing visible supply reported from London bi-monthly furnishes conclu- siye proof that all the copper ex- ported from the United States, to gether with that portion of the worlds production which is refined abroad, is sufficient to supply Europe's cur rent consumption requirements.
 There is no longer any possible basis for the belief that copper prices will decline, and there are almost in nunerable factors in the situation which tend to convince the student that they will advance soon after the first of the year. Coming state ments of the Producers association and foreign visible supply figures are practically sure to show a steadily decreasing surplus. Curtailment of output by the producers will continue until next July and perhaps longer, All of the production from new mines and enlarged output of old ones to come on the market next year will not result in an increase of over or per cent in the words annual product. On the other hand. consumption this year, as compared with last, is showing an increase of approximately 10 per cent. If it is to make gain of 10 per cent in 1911, against a . per cent increase in output, the words existing sur f plus will be absorbed and further | growth of production will no longer be feared, but welcomed. The leading ! producers are now fully aware of
 this situation. and it will not be
 long before they vii. refuse to sell their copper at as low price as 13 :, cents.
 There is more or less evidence Of
 quiet accumulation of copper stocks. I The public is not in the market.
 and the buying is practically all for strong interests. Unfortunately the public is in a skepticaI frame of mind, and refusing to take adyant- age of the unusually attractive op- portunity that now presents itself in the coppers.

MILDRED MINE

PRESCOTT, Dec. 3.-Dan E. Gen ung. general manager of the Mildred Gold Mining company, arrived yester- day and states that the test run of fifty tons of ore has been made in the new mill with satisfactory re- suits. The ore was taken from St Elmo mine, owned by the company. During the brief run the mill was in charge of John Harter, and in it's initial operation the machinery work ed better than expected.
 MT. Genung says that mine develop ment win now begin in earnest. and the new pipe hne, 5000 feet 10. laid to Anteiops creek, to afford the plant a permanent water supply when operations will be resumed. He is pleased at what has been accomplish ed under rush orders and declares the results establish the merit claim ed for the property.
 He will return to the camp today to personally direct the operations
 NIT. Genung adds that the resumD- ton of work on the Rincon mines has aroused considerable interest in the district. The property has been secured under lease by O. A. Knox, former superintendent of the Octave mine, and A. F. Anderson, an exper- enced miner who was foreman of the Octave. several miners are already employed and the samp is being re habilitated for long period of op- eration.

 On the present price of copper
 the worlds producers are showing an average net profit of between three and four cents per pound on

 The capitalization of the new com pany will probably be arrived at as follows: It will be found that the securities of the producing mines Of the world are now selling in the for each pound of copper produced, and earning between 5 and 6 per cent on this valuation. This is a market capitalization of about 31,- 0S0, 100000 With copper selling at Is cents they are able to earn 10 per cent On about s730 ,000. 900.

The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1910-09-05

A story OF misplaced confidence
comes from the southern part of the
State. Some weeks ago preacher Of
Princeton married a widow woman at
WEIGH. The woman had some prop.
erty and considerable cash. Soon aft
er the marriage, the property was con.
verted into money and the pair went
West. The money was deposited at
one Of oklahoma's safe banks in the
husbands name. Shortly afterward he
drew nearly, all the money from the
bank and gave his wife the slip. In a
few days she received telegram an.
nouncing that her husband had been
Killed in railroad wreck but 1t turned
out later that the telegram was a fake,
written and sent by the man himself
and the woman was left stranger in
a strange land with only a small
amount of money. Such perfidy will
surely not go unpublished.

For some time we have been noting
the attacks made on the new tariff
law and our memory recalled the fact
that the noise raised now sounds very
much like that made over the passage
iof:the Mckinley bill. The Philadelphia
Press calls attention to the misrepre-
sensations subsequent to the passage
OF sthe Mckinley measure in the fol-
lowing very Interesting manner:
The Democratic assault upon the
revised tariff act is a vivid reminder
of what occurred after the passage Of
the Mckinley tariff law in the second
year OF the Harrison administration.
That law was so persistently and un-
Fscrupulously misrepresented that peo-
pie were led TO believe that most OF
their ills and misfortunes were due
tos it. The country was clearly de-
ceiYed and one month after the pas
Sage; Of the act 1t elected an over
! iwhelming Democratic majority to the
House 81 REPRESENTATIVES. and two
syearsslater the Democrats secured the
PRESIDENCY and both houses of Con-
gress. What followed this was nat
ural enough. 1t was not necessary to
S@ait for REVISION of the tariff by its
enemies. The very menace of Demo.
cratlc control in both executive and
Legislative departments Of the national
government was sufficient to halt the

business, stop investment and throw
hundreds of thousands out Of employ.

WI That lesson cannot have been for.
gotten, though the enemies of protec'
tion appear to believe 1t has. They are
employing now against the new tariff
law the. same tactics used against the
Mckinley act. It is assailed with mis-
representation; It is falsely charged
with responsibility for the higher prlc
les of articles on which the duty has
not been changed and on some oil
the duties were reduced. II
their assertions are not made igno
rantly they are made with a presump
ton Of popular Ignorance which can

that much obvious Misrepresentation

The Beauty Corner.

Womanly beauty is about as rare as
birds with four legs, according to an
Italian OF wealth and title, who has
Just published some interesting sta.
tistics in La Roma. According to this
ltalian5s tatistician, among the French
only one woman in every $500 has any
claim 70 beauty; his own race yields
a4possiblei one in every 1900; Spanish
women Of beauty come In the same
proportion. The German women he
refuses to consider beautiful at all.
England, he says, has the greatest
number OF beauties of any one nation
OF unmixed blood, the percentage be.
ing one in every 1900.
The conservative Italian critic re.
fuses to consider American as a race,
because, he says, they are too poly.
glot. Considering the one city OF New
York. however. he finds there more
beauties than in any foreign city
about one in every 1900. And by
beauties" he says, he does not mean
perfect beauties" by any means. He
means merely those with.a few good
features and no eccentricity to mar
them. The cruelty OF this Italian gen.
tleman, whose only distinction has
been gained by his present statistics,
seems as first glance to be wholly un.
Christian. At best, he can only pick
out the women who are beautiful &C,
cording to his own standards. We are
sure that there are no women who are
not deemed beautiful by somebody OF
other; therefore, all must be beau
tiful. One mans opinion is as good
as another's.
