The usual exodus from the various
mining camps Of the west for the holi-
day season has been noticeable during
the past week, and the search for min
eral for several days will be at u
standStill, Mining men coming into
Salt Lake bring assurances that mine
conditions in the principal camps are
extremely -fay orable,.- and promise an
unusually prosperous season with the
turn of the year. The ore tonnage
from Bingham, Park City, and Tintic
during the new year will be much in
excess Of that of 1910, when many
companies were busy installing new
equipment or doing the necessary mino
work to guarantee more economical fu
ture operations.
Eastern market conditions have been
at standstill, and the sales reported
have been the smallest in many years.
There are a great many factors to the
Industrial situation that are thought
due for determination early in the
coming month, but until these are
solved, no extension Of business and
no increase in stock exchange activ-
ity are expected.
Tho main feature of the metal mar
lSet has been the strength of lead. The
demand for lead continues despite the
rather quiet business conditions, and
the supply Of metal is showing no
material increase, Should 1911 bring
the great prosperity anticipated, lead
promises to be the most. attractive of
all mining, and So metal is by no
means prospectively beyond reach.
Copper remains very quiet. Sales
have been exceedingly small, only 90
0c0,000 pounds selling during the first
three weeks Of December. The CON
sumner is said to have asked for some
price recessions, which request evil
IDENTIFY was granted, for from the aver
age price Of two weeks ago, Is cents
per pound, some sales at l2% were
reported during the week. Copper un-
doubtedly must follow general business
conditions, and a prosperous year for
all Industries will, as matter of
course, carry copper along with the
current.

SHEER CHRISTMAS
A Gay Packet Of Calendars and
Cards for the Holidays.

The bundles that are sent To- reviewers
by the publishers at this time of year are
often most interestingly mixed affairs
In them the holiday book pure and sim
PIE, gorgeous as to cover and generously
filled with pictures. may jostle a book of
grave historical research. But some
times the atmosphere of nothing save
Christmas is liberated as the parcel is
united. SUCH a parcel-one OF prodigious
dimensions-we have just received from
E p. Dutton & Co. The contents look
as If flung pell-meI out of the bag OF
Santa Claus. There are books for chill
dren, the fat oblong quartos in which
picture and text make for sheer fun, and
the thin linen bound miscellanies which
promise uproarious larks in the nursery,
but chiefly the mass is made up Of calen-
dars and Christmas cards.
We hear from time TO time that the
Christmas card has gone out of fashion,
but surely this is not true if we may
judge from the number and prettiness
of thess souvenirs. We do not pretend
to describe them i9 detail II is enough
To say that they are uniformly in good
taste and that many Of them are anus
ing into the bargain. AS for the calen-
OARS. they range from one of six large
leaves. decorated with sketches of chill
dren by G. p. Rnnyon. To the little
block calendars meant to be hung

quotations all from Ruskin, OF all from

Shakespeare, from Dickens and from
Tennyson Then there are the calendars
which give us a certain number of old
songs or are covered with floral designs
or with pictures illustrating ''Pickwick''
the list is endless. We note two spe-
cial features. The days of the month
are mostly given in sufficiently bold let
tering, which is important. and attached
to each calendar is dainty little card
OF which the sender may write his name
and his greeting. Several calendars are
made. too. with space for memoranda
and white enamelled lead pencil is
fastened to them with silken cord
Decidedly this parcel is well filed.

When Mr. Allen published his Bride

the children of the professor and his
wife and with those of the man she
should have married, and who should
have married her, the family physician
Mr.. Allen fulfills his promise in the
book now issued but with a change of
centre of interest sufficiently indicated
by the substituted title. The children are

ing away the last of the poetic, supersti-
tious traditions and rites of their far
distant European ancestry, but pledg-
ing themselves to multiply the Anglo
Saxon brood of the American eagle in
the land.
Again Mr.. Lane sings the proud praise
Of the American of Saxon blood, and of
Kentucky as his favorite, his blessed
home, and again he rises to that now
somewhat mechanical eloquence which
has brought him fame as a Stylist. Sc,
far, so good. But for the rest, the story
is bewildering mixture of tedious dis
sertations on many things, on heredity
and early association of children with
their parents as part OF its strength, on
infant mortality. the progress of medi-
cine, medieval architecture, and many
other matters, including, of course. occa-
sional references to the Yuletide lore
displayed in the earlier book. Through
fully one-third of its 300 pages the story
stands still Then, when it begins to

as it concerns the doctor. q complement

emotional failure in life accompanying

and tragedy of life, but it is not Though

ROMANTIC CALIFORNIA. BY Ernest
PeiXotto- Illustrations by the author
Svo. PIP. xiv. 30. Charles Scribners
Sons
In the pages Of this handsome volume
we have the native son exulting over the
beauty and charm of his state, rediscov-
ering them and seeing them with new
eyes, the romantic setting of a romantic
past. strikingiy in harmony the one with
the other. the home also. of a romantic
present. as among the Italian growers of
the California vine It is, indeed. with
a constant reversion TO Camaldoli. Posi-
tano, Nervi, and Bordighera, TO Italian
villas and the ways Of the smiling, tran
gull Italian countryside, that Mr.. Peix-
otto guides his reader through the first
pages of this book. The Spanish note
comes later, a dead, historic impression,
not living one, among the missions in
ruins. the bells still hanging in their
cdmpaRGri0s. and then. by transition, the
Spanish Mexican impress Of the fourth
decade of the last century left in SOnonla
and Monterey, and finally the glamour of
Bret Harte'S country. In San Francisco
Mr. Peixotto remembers the old Italian
quarter and its pictUresqueness. de-
stroyed by the great fire, but, in compen-
sation, shows Us the bay. and takes us
to Saucelito and Tamalpais, on many an
excursion around the city. to end up
with the Greek Theatre at Berkeley, the
High links Of the Bohemian Club, and
the grandeur of the Sierras.
Many are the books that have been
written about California, but Mr.. Peix-
ottos will find q welcoming place beside
them all. 1t has local color, atmosphere
restful charm. 1t is the chronicle Of a
leisurely holiday, not a crowded tourist
itinerary. and. as has been said above.
il is written con dmOFe. The author gives
US in passing. an explanation Of the
origin of the word ',gringo" which will be
new TO most of his readers, and more
convincing than the dictionary's sug-
gested derivation from 'Griego," Greek:
1t seems that during the Mexican War
one OF the popular songs of the day, one
that the soldiers loved to sing. was Green
Grow the Bushes. On 1t was the first
two words OF this string that the MeXicans
seized and combined TO apply as an eplthet
10 the American of that day-the Sr1nso.
Mr.. Peixotto has not written his text
TO accompany his pictures. 1t is the
other way around: the pictures have
been made TO illustrate the book. and
they do it well. They reflect the peace
and restfuIness, the remoteness Of its
pages most Of all, but are no less fe-
licitous in suggesting the uncanny aspect
OF the storm-twisted. tortured, bleached
groves of Cypress Point at night.
