The Teara In Books.

II 10 not hard to understand why.
says a writer in St. Nicholas. when Q
book makes you laugh you want 10
read 1t and to read it over and over
again. But 1t Is rather pulling to
ind that one also enjoys reading and
rereading books that make one want
to cry. What can there be in US thai
likes to be made to feel unhappy? In
real life we don't try to do things
that will make us suffer-not at all!
But there are books that you cannot
think Of. once you have read them.
without tears coming TO your eyes.
and yet you will find that you love
those books perhaps more than any
other.
To feel deeply is one Of the best
things In life; and there. maybe, lies
the explanation Of why we do love
sad stories. They make us unhappy
in a way, but they do not leave be.
hind any bitterness or sense Of per.
sonal loss. And they usually have q
special beauty Of their own.

new EXCHANGE RULES
ADOPTED IN UTAH

There will be no call on the Salt
Lake Stock and Mining Exchange for
three days, or until next Monday
morning. and many of the brokers will
make visits to Tintic and other camps
of the state in the search of news at
first hand When the exchange re-
sumes work Monday. the members
will be working under new rules for
the better protection OF the business
and the creating of more confidence
In one another
One of these rules is intended to
provide a substantial foundation for
for all future options, and all such
deals are to neceSsitate from the sell,
er certificate of stock for the number
OF shares dealt in, TO which the buy
ers' certified check is to be attached,
both being deposited with Secretary
Shorten until the option expires This
will prevent members from short
ing" the market TO a greater eXent
than their financial ability would al
low. In addition to protecting the
brokers. this rule will protect the
public as we'll. doing away with the at
tempt to short stocks just for the pur-
pose OF pulling out marginal holdings.
Another new rule is that requiring
members to make regular financial
statements so as to leave no doubt
whatever in the minds of the govern
ing board us TO the solvency of mem
berS. This is rule. however. that
should be exercised very carefully for
the legitimate commission broked
does not as a rule require the ready
capital that the purely speculative
trader docs The exercise of this rule
on the part of the governing board
Will require an excess Of diplomacy,
as the power OF suspension OF mem
bers Is maker or breaker for those
concerned.
The exchange has acted we'll in the
adoption OF these rules. and now II
some of the mining companies with
listed stocks could manage to bring
new developments of merit to light in
order to give the investor some rea-
son to come back into the market,
business will increase and times wax
fat once more Old-timers remember
when the exchange was as dull as it
is now, and there usually Is something
TO happen to restore confidence and
loosen the purse strings Of the public.

TintiC SmeIter
Hopeless Failure

According to numerous eastern pa
pers, the Knight smelter at Silver
City has been the subject recently of
one or more expert examinations by
prominent mining and smelling inter
ests of the east Just who these in
terests were is not stated, but the east
almost names them, or might as well
have done SO, IT is hardly likely that
the Knight interests Will seek to re-
sumo smelling operations. so about
the only hope left OF Tintic getting an
active smelter again Is for some
smelling interests TO pick up the
plant.
The New York Mining Age quotes
an eastern engineer, who says that
owing to the control over the railroads
held by the smelling trust, the Tintic
plant is hopeless. for railroad rates
at present are rulnous. He says the
plant apparently is a good one. we'll
constructed and can give good service.
but until conditions change there is
little hope OF resumption of opera
tions or that large outside interests
Will purchase the plant So far there
has been little need for the smelling
companies already well established in
the Utah Held TO purchase the Il1tiS
plant
One often hears. though not as fire.
ouently as in the past, that the local
mining field requires greater competi,
tive smelling facilities. and that large
private capital could find no better
application than by installing plant
where no fayors are asked or given.
The complaint is made that majority
of the smeltcrs own their own mines.
caring little nowadays whether the
small producer mines his ore or not.
The knights certainly began their
plant under ideal auspices, and nearly
every one was certain that the day of
the small producer had arrived, but II

of freight rates silenced the enter
prise.
