WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and Bradstreet Agree that Favorable Trend Industrial

Encouraging Feature of Weeks Developments
in Business World

New York, May 7.-Dun's Review OF
trade for the week tomorrow will
say:
Business conditions show compare
lively little change. and though the
recent cheerful outlook Is maintained
conservatism goes hand in hand with
increased confidence. The growing in
tensity of the war operations. includ-
ing the sinking of an American ship.
has caused considerable uneasiness
and resulted in rather sharp irregu-
larities in the stock market.
The cost of the war. which in one
country alone amounts in the first
year to more than double the total
government debt created in this coun-
try during the Civil War. naturally
causes concern. This. however, has
little or no effect on the immediate
volume Of trade. which continues to
expand slowly.
The heavy export demand. particu-
larly of foodstuffs and war materials.
is still the most striking feature: but
1t Is noticeable also that domestic
consumption is on a rising scale. al
though this is much more apparent
in some directions than in others.
Bank clearings are now for the first
time revealing a gain over last year.
not only at New York, where specu-
lative activities contribute to swell
the total. but in many other parts of
the country.

CAVE FILLED WITH ZINC
FOUND IN ELKo COUNTY

Returning from a trip of inspection
of the Glover Mining company s Polar
Star mine, % miles south of Wells,
New. a party of Salt Lake men bring
new and startling stories of the al
most phenomenal manner in which this
great lead-zinc deposit is developing.
1t is declared that the main surface
deposit has been proven now for 339
feet; that the new shaft is down 20
feet all in ore with 30 to 80 per cent
zinc in the bottom, and that a full face
OF seven feet of 80 per cen zine ore
has been opened the past week in a
new place. A big mineralized cave has
been struck and may contain a large
tonnage of shipping grades.
The party consisted of John Burt,
manager of the company; Mr.. Williams
western manager of the Empire Zinc
company; w. f. Smith, formerly gen
eral manager of the Potosi zinc mine
of Good Springs, and G.. b. Williams.
When the new working shaft had at
tanned a depth of 20 feet it broke into
a cave. This cave is 20 by 80 feet and
appears to be full of zinc. Samples of
the crystallized stalactites assayed as
per cent zinc. 1t is estimated that
there are several carloads of loose ziuc
ore in and about the cave.
Already the Clover company has
shipped about $50 tons of ore, and has
probably twenty tons of commercial
lead ore ON the stock pile and 30 tons
of zinc on hand and at the railroad.
This large surface deposit is now being
opened up in a systematic name and

some as a regular bonanza among the

Just Little Tableau-From Life.

I'VE course this includes woman. born the
same Way, is inclined to grow pessimistic,
as the years advance, and If Time and Fate
have failed to deliver the rosy dreams of
youth, the pesslmlsm is of that order which
sees no brightness anywhere.
Happy the man or woman who can travel
abroad, looking for the little examples that
disprove the rule, and take heart at what
they see Of kindness, charity, affection and
any other of the attributes which make the
world a paradise to the lonely, the wretched
and the heart-sick
And that happy experience befell one who,
In dark mood at present worries, past dis
appointments, and future with little prom
Use, saw little tableau that dispelled the
dark mood, made happier determination to
believe that Goods in His Heaven alFs we'll
with the world" and who wants to pass it
along.
One doesn't look for romance in the
crowded streets Of a city, neither does one
look for examples of devotion, but sometimes
one meets them unaware, and it was while
waiting outside a hotel, that this little
glimpse of another atmosphere than the Or
binary one, was had.
In front of the hotel there walked gen
tleman whom the story-book writer's would
have described as ''tall well-set up, elderly,
and dressed'-Wel dressed as a gentleman
Of good taste would dress; he had on gray
suit, and some nice, clean looking tan shoes,
and a straw hat, and he was all the rest the
noyel-writer would have said.
Also, he had a plaid shawl, neatly folded,
on his arm, and he didn't look as though the
shawl was meant for himself lie you had
ever been newspaper person, and kept up
with the usual elderly man waiting In front
Of hotel, you would have filled the picture
out with fluffy combination of ruffes, pow
der, blond hair, picture hat, and the other
ct Gets.
And SO, when the gentleman stepped for
ward and opened the hotel door, for some
one whom he could see coming, there was
keen anxiety on the part Of those watching,
to see Just what came out
And it was the dearest, daintiest, little
old-fashioned elderly lady that ever stepped
out Of a picture. She gave her hand to the
waiting one, and was led to an old-fash-
Toned, one-horse carriage, that waited at the
curb; and she was handed into this as care
fully as though she had been a queen, and
the shawl was carefully disposed over her
knees, and then she was asked if "the pro-
gram Of the night before would not be fne?"
And it seemed that this program, namely,
a ride through the residence district, out
toward the suburbs, and Ground back by the
Hill,' was most agreeable to the little lady,
and the last we saw of them was their ut
terly contented faces, beaming at each other,
oblivious to us and all the rest of the world,
and enjoying that most delightful period OF
happy people-the peaceful middle and ell
derby stage; when hopes have been realized,
or the reconciliation to the substitutes for
them, accepted.
And it TRANSFERRED that the gentleman was
well-known, prosperous merchant, and the
little lady the wife to whom he had been
welded for many years
That this picture is rare one, is the trag-
e 1
