.B|JO THEATRE PATRONS
ARE GIVEN A TREAT
MANAGEMENT OF POPULAR
PHOTOPLiY ALWAYS AWAKE
To THE BEST IN THE MOVING
PICTURE LINE.

On last night and on the night be-
fore the Bio presented the most
wonderful film ever witnessed in this
or any other part of the world. The
story of the exploits of Buffalo Jones
in lassoing wild animals in South
Africa has been told in magazines, in
the dailies and weeklies, until near
ly everyone in the United States is
familiar with the wonderful trip of
the colonel and his two cowboys. On
the nights mentioned the Bio played
up the story in picture form, and the
wide publicity given il found an echo
In the biggest attendance the Bio
has ever known.
With no weapons but their lariats,
and with no help but their COW pom
les. the three dare devil COW punch
ers went to the country of great
game. For many years the big hunt
in Africa has been part of the post
graduate course of the British youth,
and while the element of danger was
always present. the hunters have al
ways been surrounded by all the
safeguards possible. They rode on
elephants and were accompanied by
numbers of experienced jungle hun
tiers. But like young Lochinvar out
OF the west the three daring cow
punchers rode all unarmed and rode
all alone.
They lassoed everything in the
wilds from a wart-hog to a healthy.

throwing him with the rope while he
was charging upon one of their num-
Der. The capture of CRATES and
zebras was no trick at all to these
wizards of the RATA. And then
more wonderful even than the per-
Torrance of the cowboys was that of
the moving picture men who tool
them on the run; who caught the
animals before the rope men did, who

prises, even with the interstate COM
merce commission holding the rod
over the transportation companies.
How much of this capital is for
new work is not disclosed. Some of
the new issues will replace old ones,
but that was true last year, with
which a comparison is made. 1t is
possible. also, that the railroads
would have preferred TO sell more
stocks and less bonds, or more bonds
and less notes. The demand for
stocks is admittedly light, and under
present conditions of the money
market many companies have found
it more advantageous to borrow on
short term notes than on bonds run
ming thirty or fifty years. Investors
| are evidently after securities rather
thar the possibility of larger returns
and the railroads in many instances
find 1t better to borrow for a short
time than for a long one. The gen.
eral fact remains that the great cor
porations are able to raise a great
deal of money.
In the first quarter OF this year
railroad and industrial corporations
raised s657,O0O, 900 or $4,000. 900
more than in the first quarter of last
year. The industrial corporations
raised less, the railroads raised $751;
900, 900 more than in the first three
months of 1910. OF the SAT- ,000,-
900 they raised during the past three
months, 1853, OO0, 900 was in bonds.
although there has been much COM
plant of the sluggishness of the bond
market; s12S, 900, 900 was in notes,
and only $4,000, 600 in shares. Each
one of these items was larger this
year than last.
The amount raised by the rail
roads was at the rate of s1,7SS, O0O.-
900 a year. II one-third of this was
for replacements-and that Is prob
ably an overestimate-the fresh
capital would yet be very consider
ably greater than the eleven hundred
millions which Mr.. Hill announced a
few years ago that the railroads
needed annually to maintain and ex-
tended their properties. We see no
indications that capital has been
scared out of the transportation
field.

any number of visitors. Any one who
is at all interested in Sunday school
work, should not fail to attend this
convention. Many people will go to

SITUATION AT o

At the Giroux mine this week
there were laid off in the neighbor-
hood of IS men, and as a conse-
quenee gloom has prevailed. All
sorts of stories have been in %circula-
ton as to the reason of the layof,
and for the most part none of these
is worth considering except the real
story. The men who were laid off
discharged, if you will. had been at
work on construction. and that part
of the work in and around the mine
has been so far advanced that il was
getting too far ahead or the real de-
velopment of the mine. The force
now In the Giroux workings is con-
fined to the opening up of the ore
body of the Alpha. and work Is being
driven along both the 1900 and l.
400-foot crosscuts. 1t is a strange
phase of human nature that the ma
jority of people see the worst side
of things in all circumstances.
With very few exceptions every
man discharged from the Giroux saw
no further than his own case, and the
fact that he was out of a job made
the world look a blank and the dis
trict a dismal failure. Since the first
of March they had been putting men
to work as fast as room could be
made for them in the underground
workings in which they are making
for the pre-. The striking of the ore
body of the Alpha is the real dis
ideratum of the Giroux management.
the only thing that counts in the
work of mining. And IL was on this
work that the new men were placed.
When the work of mining begins the
work of construction ceases and
miners take the place of surface men.
This is what has occurred at the Gil
roux. There has been an Interchange
of men. The work of mining Is be-
ing pushed harder than ever and
once they get into the ore Of the Al
pha more men will find work on the
Giroux than ever before in the his
tory of that great property.

COPPER PRODUCTION IN MARCH
Curtailment Policy Sims Cog and
Metal Situation is Weak.

Metal situation is Weak.
A production of 10000, 900
pounds in March was a distinct dis
appointment and indicates a slip in
the cog somewhere in the American
curtailment policy. There is no in
centive on the part of consumers to
stock up with copper in anticipation
of needs in the face of such produc-
tion figures.
There is some hope TO be found in
the deliveries for the month of 1885,
900 900 pounds, but such figures are
not surprising, considering the fact
that deliveries the previous two
months were below normal.
Copper, the metal, is weak. and
there is no reason to anticipate any
improvement so long as production
is maintained at any such rate as
that of March.
An encouraging word of copper
conditions abroad is found in the ex-
pressions of Henry r. Merton & CO.,
of London. contained in their market
report, which says:
THE recent inquiry from consum-
ers has been on a very satisfactory
scale, particularly from the Cont
nent, where the electrical trade is in
a fiourishing condition, consuming in
creasing quantities of the metal.
Manufacturers are very fully sup
piled with work, and not very well
covered with refined copper. There
Is consequently no plethora of offer
ings. and If anything electrolytic cop
per is getting somewhat scarce"
