Copper Is Too Cheap.
It IS hardly a tenabe position to main
tain that copper belongs at anywhere like
the existing levels. The most fortunate
OF low cost producers arc making divi-
dends and little else under the Crciim-
stances, while the vast ma iorlty OF pro-
ducerS are operating at a loss with the
metal at l2 or even l3 cents n pound
While the metal depends consIde rably on
the general industrial situation. the low
price Is in itself the safest guarantee OF
price Improvement No cowmodity can
be produced long at a loss to the pro-
Queer.
The Copper Producers association has
denied repeatedly that there was any dis
position on It's part TO cease publishing
abundant reason for discontinuIng this
policy. The reports take the consumer
into the confidence OF the producer the
deal Is absolutely square and above
board. and the figures as released arc
or should he the most bulish news the
OF the association seem 10 be defeated
in this monthly publicity. The world
keeps bowling about the tremendous pro-
duction and surplus when there are no
such Items existing, and an entirely diff

own protection to cease issuing these reg
ular statistics.
Producer the Loser
AS much as the public would regret
the lack of this information, Il Sill should
he remembered that IL was voluntarily
offered by the producing interests The
consumer has by far the better OF the
argument. he is gaining everything. while
The producer believes In time the policy

but evolutionary processes operate slow

COALITION OF SEVEN
TR0UGHS DOING WELL

General Manager Friedman OF the
Seven Troughs Coalition company is quot
ed as follows regarding recent work:
''The new winze which was being driv-
ell from the NTH TO the sixth level has
been completed and drifting both ways
is now In progress. In the south drift the
vein has opened to a width OF two and
a half feet and the samples thus far ta-
ken show average returns OF 5000 in gold
TO the ton. The drift from the new
point is also being driven on the sixth.
The conditions insofar as the ledge and
values are concerned are about the same
as In the south drift
THE ledge on the fifth is at present
one OF the best assets OF the mine. Dur
ing the past five weeks the twcnty-inch
streak running through the main ledge
has yielded handsomely. In this time
the assays did not run lower than $3.50
and from this point they ran as high as
$500 In the yellow metal.
''As m indication TINT the values
throughout the mine are showing grad
ual increase. nothing could better Illus
trate this fact than the increase in the
mill returns for the past three months.
In December the ores treated showed an
average OF $3.50; in January S124.40. and
In February they increased to 1885,"

Acknowledgement sales office from
Major Stanley ". Martin in command

Perry. Ohio. Is to be taken literally.
the men from this State have far out
distanced a certain record made b.
soldiers at Brownsville, Texas, some
years ago. Major Martin asserts that
the Virginia team has been Shooting
up six States The soldiers referred
to shot up but one town.
The presumption is that the men
from Virginia moved up six places in
the list as the result OF the national
rifle matches. AS they have been
heretofore as NEAR to the bottom that
there were not SO many as six rungs
under them, II they moved at oil 1t
must have been upwards. AS a matter
OF fact, in view OF the utter lack OF
any facilities to make good shots. the
surprising thing to local military men
Is that they old not drop peg or
two. There is not a real rife range in
the State, Leaving the infantrymen
completely ignorant of the correct and
profitable use OF their only weapon.
Major Martin proceeds to clear up
the problem in his telegram by saying
that the Virginians are now In third
place In Glass c. He also says that
the team was starting for home yes
terday and that Richmond will be
reached to-day by him and by those
who live in this section of the State.
