Calumet Mich, Apr 9.-Liquidation
was continued in coppers today and
during the first hour prices simply
melted away. The buying though was
better than for some time and il would

low prices and pessimistic feeling that
the physical properties are just as val

prices for the stocks prevailed. stocks
bought now will show big profits when

denly and without apparent reason.

level, work is progressing at the rate
of about thirty feet weekly i'm four

UNLISTED STOCKS.

]. a. Minnear & Co. say today
Selling of copper stocks was again
i'm evidence in today's short session,
and a number of issues showed severe
declines, scoring the lowest prices seen
in over a year. Calumet & Arizona
dropped to SEQ, Copper Range to $65lA,
Lake below SAC, and so it was through
out the list. The opportunity was pre-
sented to buy some good copper
stocks at attractive figures, providing
such purchases were made for cash.
While the market was not at all en-
couraging. yet it is only by buying
outright on scale down that good
line Of stocks can be picked up
There is a possibility of the Supreme
court decision being handed down, but
this is quite unlikely. The selling
movement was started yesterday be-
cause of the unfavorable metal report
and gained momentum today We look
for a steadier market next week.
Curb trading was naturally influence
ed by the weakness N the Boston and
New York early trading. Superior &
Boston was well bought all day.

Commercial mine has advanced BIS
foot. Near the Eureka shaft this drift
encountered small body of ore which
is i'm evidence i'm the drift for a dis
lance of about twenty feet, but from
that point on to the present breast ma
terial of commercial grade has been
encountered only i'm places, the drift,
for the most part, being i'm ground with
too low copper content to make
smelling profitable. The vein matter.

with iron. the oxidation of which has

appearance deceptive with reference to
copper value.
Raising from the seventh level drift
nj distance of about 800 feet east OF
the Eureka shaft has just been begun
with a view to making a connection
between the seventh and intermediate
levels. This raise now measures about
twelve feet.
The bulk of the ore to make up the
smclter supply is now being taken
from the slopes on the sixth level, but
the fifth level also is being mined ex-
tensively At present no work is be-
ing done on the fourth level.

STOCKS

Boston.-Market opened with heavy
liquidation all through the list. All
the stocks were under pressure and
showed declines of from 1 to points.
The buying, however, was very much
better than yesterday, insiders appar-
emily being willing to take care of their
particular stocks around these levels.
Scale buying was noticeable in Copper
Range. Lake Copper and Arizona Com
mercial.
After the early rush of liquidation
was over, the tone of the whole list inn
proved and the close was at the best
prices of the day. The majority of
traders are still bearish and with the
political outlook as il is. and the metal
steadily accommodating we do not look
for any consistent upward movement
for some time.-Foster of Paine, Web

Russia is the blacklist center of infec-

cases and some 100000 deaths since early
in May. During the first fifteen weeks of
this Russian epidemic the deaths totaled
1900 or an average of 5000 per week.
During the last week for which Surgeon
General Wyman has received returns the
rate had risen to 7,143 deaths, which means
more than thousand a day. St. Peters

Across Channel in 1885.

IN connection with Walter Wellman's at
! tempted flight across the Atlantic in
his dirigible balloon America, carrying
with him an unsuitable lfeboat, it is in
teresting to recall that as long ago as
1899 Blanchard. French aeronaut, made
the following announcement in the French
newspapers:
Having been intrusted with affairs of
importance by several commercial houses
concerned with North America and enter
tanning myself a strong desire to revisit
that country I have determined to con-
struct an aerial fleet an insubmergible
boat, with which l hope to cross the
great ocean in the course of seven or
eight days.
There seems to be no record of his hav-
ing actually attempted such trip, but he
had already, in January, 1855 crossed the
English channel from Dover to France,
passing over several vessels. His balloon
was hydrogen gas balloon, twentyseven
feet in diameter supplied with car. two
with a sort of umbrella extended hori-
zontally between the balloon and the car,
thus suggesting the idea of a parachute.
An American physician, DR.. John JEFF
fries of Boston, furnished the necessary
funds for the balloon, and was allowed
to accompany Blanchard on his flight
across the channel but only on condition
that if at a critical moment the balloon
was found to be incapable of supporting
two men, Jeffries should jump out.
At one point during the flight it seemed
as though the American might be called
upon to fulfill his promise. for all the
ballast had been thrown overheard, in
provisions, wings, anchors cords
everything portable. even a portion of the
travellers clothing, and they were still
sinking. Fortunately. however, the bal
loon reganed its buoyancy and landed its
in the top of a tree near the
forest of Guines, in France. When the
two men reached the ground they en-
braced each other, and declared them
selves to be 1.-The most celebrated men in
