The hotel managers tried their best to infuse some glad Christmas spirit into the few stragglers who loitered around the Hobbies, but it was a vain effort The Christmas decorations on the walls and the music in the balconies only added loneliness to the scene

But excellent pro- gress has been made in the past month and the outlook, said President Henry s. Mackay is bright and encouraging
 In the small testing plant at the copper works, which was made ready for the analysis of ores on a small scale several weeks ago, number of interesting tests have been carried out, and the chemical and electro chemical methods employed in the ex- traction of the pure copper have shown high efficiency.
