Boston-The extraordinary exports
of copper during the past few weeks
combined with the failure of the fig
ures Of foreign visible supply Ohe
amount held i'm English and French
warehouses and anoaO To increase,
has led 20 the very logical conclusion
that heavy shipments from this coun-
try have been consigned to Rotter-
dam, Hamburg and other continental
ports, where no systematic record of
copper stocks is maintained. Henry
M. Morton d Co. estimate that on
Jan. 18th there was a stock OF copper
i'm Rotterdam amounting to 1900 tons
and a stock at Hamburg of $4,000 tons
or a COMBINED total equal to 400, 900
pounds. 1t is quite generally expected
that the January figures Of the Copper
Producers association will show an
increase i'm the copper surplus in this
country. and that is the latter half of
the month there will also be an in

this is MY 5orH BIRTHDAY"

Ralph Modjeski. famous as a civil
engineer, was born i'm Cracow. Poland.
jan p, 1861, the son of the celebrated
tragedienne Helena Modjeska. After
coming to America with his mother in
1876 he had his name changed to Mod
jeski for American naturalization. He
was educated chiefly i'm France. where
he graduated from the technical school
in Paris at the head of his class. In
1892 he began the practice of his chos-
en- profession in Chicago. Since that
time his work has been confined chiefly
to the designing and building of bridg-
es. Many of the largest bridges con-
structed in America i'm recent years
have been designed and erected under
the supervision of Mr.. Modjeski, par
ticularly I'm the Northwest and i'm Can
ada. He built two large bridges over
the Columbia and Willamette Rivers
for the Northern Pacific Railroad, also
the bridge recently completed for the
Illinois Traction company over the
Mississippi River at St. Louis. While
specializing chiefly i'm bridge engineer
ing, Mr.. Modjeski has executed other
important engineering work.

UNLISTED STOCKS.

ally this had a depressing effect on
copper shares. Amalgamated was off

tionally Before the close the markets
became firmer, in sympathy. probably
with the higher prices i'm New York.

Conditions al the Property Are Said TO
be Very Promising,

ON the Edith May vein al the North
Butte property drifting on the inter-
mediate of the 23rd level has now been
stopped, as both the east and west
faces have reached the fault plains. De-
velopments on this level were quite en-
couragiug, having shown improvement
over the 22nd level above. The drift on
the 23rd Is probably in the neighbor-
hood Of 500 feet In length, over which
distance the ore will assay about per
cent copper per ton.
The sinking is now in progress again
below the goth level. and in this work
from so 10 90 feet per month is made.
Sinking was temporarily held up pend
ing the completion OF the stations from
the 26th 20 the cath. but has now been
resumed. Crosscutting on the Gath
level will probably be begun within
the next month. Two months viii then
probably be necessary before the vein
