SOME HOLDERS LEAN
TO COPPER AT II 81
Hating Buying Has Already
Caused Lowering Of Price
to 10 Cents.

Persistent offering Of its best grades
of lake copper at Is cents n pound by
the Calumet and Iecla Mining Company
was one Of Tn. prominent factors In
:he unI,r market during the past week.
Liberal Offering of this metal, which
Il few months ago commanded n pre-
MUM of .is cents "A pound over cIec-
t~ro,ytic, naturally had its effect on the
market u general.
Some Of the larger selling agencies,
which had lone business at 1874 cents.
lowered their quotations to Is cents
for e.pctrolytic. but even at that Level
found no great rcsponse from buyers.
Early in the week European cables
brought some inquiry for the metal,
hut this soon disappeared. The domes-
tic demand at no time during the week
wac other than desultory. The net re-
suit was that those selling factors who
are quick ST to run at the first sign OF
dulness indicated a willingness TO sell
down to la cents a pound.
II was estimated yesterday that de-
~liveries of the metal to American
plants were running between 10 900. 900
and 1870. 00U. 600 pounds monthly. This,
IL was said. was of course very largely
the result of the extraordinary demand
for use in the making of ammunition
n guns. Production was placed AT
from $50, 900, 900 to 40, 600. 900 pounds
a month. while exports were estimated
To be 100. 900 900 pounds a month. But
for the fact hat vessel room IL ex-
t'emely short exports of metal would be
far greater.
Fair business was done in spelter
early in the week. but demand dropped
on t ward the end, While spot quota
tiJns were romiEally 1915 to 1919, for
prime, Western gross ard futures calling
for delivery as Ear ahead as March were
quoted AT lOig to 10a, cents. The very
best grades of speiter brought 80 cents
a pound and other grades IS cents a
pound.
Production Of spelter is extremely
large and gives promise Of further
growth before the end Of the year. Com
sumption as well Is very heavy. but IL
is dIff cult to ascertain II there is much
accumulation of stocks.

Consolidated Gas.

Rumors Of an extra scrip dividend on
Consolidated Gas stock were reiterated
But SO far as the trading element is con-
cerncd these stories made less Of an
impression upon the trading element.
This may have been because Of a rather
bad break In the stock. and also partly
because of no sign of a confirmation or
anything to strengthen these stories. Of
course the action of the stock at this
juncture il nothing in the way OF de-
cisive proof that the rumor Is without
foundation. But II does indicate that
Their" was "A good deal OF reckless buy
ing Of the stock based on the rumor. or
perhaps based on the performance OF the
stock. This IN return creates the sus-
p!Ciun hat The whole story may have
been suggested by the movement I'M the
stock rather than 10y any tangible de-
velopmcnts pointing TO dividend action

culars which were recorded, subsequent

hestitancy.
She testified as to coming up from
the Grangeville mine where she was
keeping boarders and that on October 7
she went to the Hye home to help pre-
pare the body of the deceased, Alma

him to do little else but ascertain if
the two were dead and that after this
had been discovered the body of Mrs.
Hye was covered with sheet which
Thompson got out of the adjoining
bed room and the party went back to
the hotel.
Witness served on the coroner s
jury and the bodies when he saw them
again were lying practically where
they were before, Kennedy being away
from the wall. He stated that the
bullet which killed Mrs. Hye entered
above the left nipple and went out
about inches below on the back. He
did not discover any bruises on Mrs.
Hye and stated that the way the body
of defendants wife LAZY, she could
hardly fall in that position He did not
discover any wearing apparel about
the room he stated and was not sure of
this point as he was excited and did
not look for any.
Witness further testified as to going

in the buggy and leave and before
leaving he shook hands with him and
that Basket shook hands with defen-
dant and defendant asking if Basket

The senate floor, its galleries and
every available bit of standing room.
as well as the doors and windows, were
packed with crowd of eager spec
tators the largest audience the ses-
sion has seen. when the senate went
into committee of the whole to con
slider the prohibition bill. When the
bill was passed under a suspension of
the rules an outburst of applause
broke forth, drowning the presidents
voice and the crowd swarmed onto the
senate floor, following adjournment,
congratulating the senators on the pas
sage of the bill.
That the prohibition senator's had a
close organization was evident imme-
diately after the body started debate
on the measure. Elliott of Bonner
county opened for the dries, declaring
that the moral Issue involved in the
prohibition bill was above partizanship
and met the demand of the people. He
was followed by Zuck of Twin Falls
and Graham of Ada counties speaking
for the measure. Before the debate
had closed Kicks of Madison, Carter
of Washington, Bundy of Nez Perez
and others spoke in its behalf. Whit

areas of the richest agricultural coun-
try in the world This country needs
western market; it especially needs
San Francisco market.
W. p. Needs Feeders.
For Years the Western Pacific, which
stretches its barren trunk across the
Western half of the contiuent. has
needed feeders. 1t has looked with
Searning eyes across this wide and
fertile and highly productive plain
that reaches from Winnemucca as far
as the northern boundary line of Idaho.
If it could have done so it would have
built feeder up to Boise long ago.
1t has not done so because it has not
had enough money. Therefore If it
cannot make the rich valley come to it,
it is willing that somebody else should
do so. 1t needs just feeders; anybody
can own them that want to.
President Bush Of the Western Pa
cific during the last year or two has
made two automobile trips along the
same route taken the other day by
President Hill.
Putting all these facts together. GER
tain authorities in railroad circles who
watch the moves on the traffic chess-
board conclude, first. that when Hill
bought the line from Armstead to
Salmon he figured on connecting with
Adler on one end and with Grangeville
at the other. This would give him
more direct and cheaper route from
the East to Portland; second. that he
intends to connect the southern apex
of the triangle, which is Gilmore, with
Boise. This would open up Central
Idaho for the north. Third thst he in
tends to connect Winnemucca with
Boise. This would tear Idaho wide
open for him and give market for his
products ip San Francisco. In order to
effect this latter he would have to ar
range traffic agreement with the
Western Pacific. Tt is believed that
such an agreement should be satisfac-
torify arranged. The fact that Hill
took the automobile trip during the
middle of winter indicates to experts
that il was not taken for fun.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
