LEAD PRICES ARE
BOOSTED WEDNESDAY

The metal producers OF the west evil
dently are In the hands OF q special dis
pensation OF providence. II dIspensations
possess hands. for there never was the
like OF metal prices now In the face
of the hard times one hears SO much
about from the spectators on stock mar
lcets. II WAS reported on Wednesday. for
instance, that the American Smelling and
Refining company had lifted the price OF
lead from $3.50 to 9.75 per hundred
pounds. This means additional thou-
sands OF dollars daily TO Utah producers,
means higher earnings. more dividends
and more men employed II brings II
greater degree OF prosperity to all
bra inches OF local business. and the pro-
ducer should get busler than ever.

There has been quite some new pro-

LONDON TIMES SEES
COPPER PROSPERITY

"ln the United States says the Sunday
Times of London, most copper mines at
the present price OF 1Ta cents are making
cents profit per pound. as compared
with 4 cents few months ago, In other
words. profits have doubled and. unless
all experts are mistaken. the position of
copper will become stronger rather than
weaker in the future. For stocks are
steadily declining both in Europe and the
states, and we are nearing the point
where there will be actual scarcity for
spot delivery"

Domestic Demand.

THE demand for copper in this country
is proportionately as good as that OF Eu-
rope. and the Producers figures show
about the same rate OF Increase In the de-
mend here for the past five months as in
Europe compared with the same five
months OF last year. The large manufac-
turing concerns here are working their
plants on full time: and most of them are
using more copper than ever before in
continuance and no indication OF curtail
menL of business because OF the present
level OF prices.
I'VE have, therefore. such condition
as existed In 1e06-1907, when, because
of the normal and natural development
OF trade, the demand for copper on both
sides Of the water grew to large propor-
tions. The conditions. however, are diff
ferent In comparing that period with the
present in respect OF the price, as then
the price was controlled and artiflciaIly
held. whereas there is not now the
slightest attempt at controlling the price,
and demand which has forced the price
up for the last few months some cents

There is to be a total eclipse of the
sun today, but few persons in the
United States and none in Canada
will have an opportunity to view the
phenomena. Residents of southern
Florida, if conditions are favorable,
will be treated to a partial perform

The path of totality will cross
South America from a point near
