coins one bearing date Of 1887, one
gold piece is dated 1884, while several
others range from 1740 to llt5-
None Of the coins as far as can be
ascertained, are as late as 1901. Ihcse
interesting relics were discovered at
deDth of nearly six feet and were Sc
GREETED within six fiat stones so ar
ranged as to form neat box anu
though diligent search was MADE IN
the vicinity Of the find, no more were
discovered.
As soon as the discovery became
known in the nearby village OF santa

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.

The year 1913 is probably causing more
anxiety in trade and financial circles than
any year since the late eos. A general
political change is always considered revo-
lutionary, but II must be recollected that
men and times change materially. 1t is
true that the future may best be Judged
by the past. but few will expect the
troublous time of Cleveland's administra-
ton.
There is nothing wrong with this coun-
Try, but there are many OF its people who
must he educated by practical results in
stead Of promises. II is all wrong that
the bankers and business men engaged in
big business should be constantly under
suspicion. II is not right that many peo-
pie will not accept what the men who
understand these subjects say, because
they have an idea their motives. are not
honest. And the worst feature is that
such ideas are not based on knowledge
and belief, but on vague rumors. With
these facts and conditions ahead of us. it
is not reasonable TO suppone or expect that
the men elected to high Offices by large
majorities will care to intensity such feel
fngs. but rather will allay them by wise
and judicious legislation.
There is no question about the condi-
ton of general business. Wages have
been raised I'm all lines. steel orders are
taken for Elk months delivery. equipment
companies are swamped with orders and
most all merchants are understocked. It
would be absurd to predict this state of
AFFAIRS indefinitely. but there is no reason
why 1913 should not be a banner busi-
ness year. The tariff question will cause
much more alarm than injury. and with
that out of the way general business and
the security markets should advance
steadily and surely. Supply and demand
will always govern commodity and secur-
fly prices. With uncertainty eliminated
We should have clear sailing.
From an investment point OF view the
future is promising. Big speculation Is
on the wane and the average investor has
learned that il pays in the long run 10
buy a security with price based on In
trinsic value and dividend yield. rather
than one brought to his attention by
vague promises and violent manipulation

replying to yours Of the 21st inst rela-
1--WE 10 the outlook for 1913. I will state
that, after an experience of some twenty
hVe years in the steel fabricating busi-
ness, we cannot recall any previous time
when the outlook was so promising. Our
recollection is that I'm previous years the
prices usually were so speculative that it
was generally recognized that the condi-
tons would have 10 readjust themselves
within very limited time, whereas at the
present time the prices have not advanced
beyond what we would ordinarily con-
slider reasonable one and with the tire
mendous amount Of tonnage at present on
the books of the mills there is not much
probability of a serious reaction, unless
some unforeseen catastrophe should de-
velop.
We do not believe that even the agita-
ton of the tariff. which we naturally eX-
pect during the coming year. will have a
tendency to disarrange business, only in
d slight measure.
While we do not look for anything phe-
nomenal. at the same time our inclination
is TO expect a good volume of business at
fairly remunerative prices.
