Live Froo in Piece of Coal

collier who was working recently
at the coal face in the twenty-inch, or
Smith-coal, seam at the Trafalgar
Colliery. Forest of Dean, states that
about 10 a. m. he was holing under
meath the coal seam, which is about
twenty inches thick. He had holed in
the underneath distance of about
fifteen inches, and. as was the usual
custom, to enable him to hole farther
underneath he struck the pick into
the coal face a distance of about six
inches from the floor At the point
where he did so a thin band of shale
black earth, technically known as
parting-was running from the coal
face, the pick, where he pierced the
coal, appeared to strike through into
space: the piece OF coal below the
pick fell off up to the parting above
spoken of, disclosing a small cavity,
out of which at the same time fell a
live frog. 1t was small in size and
dark in color, with a bright yellow
band running the whole length of the
back. The examiner of the district
came up just at the time and took
+ charge of it. Shortly afterward, at the
request of the management, the pieces
| of coal were carefully looked over, and
the piece with the shale adhering to
it was found. In this was a cavity of
| such size and shape as would just
about hold the body of a ffOg-Strand
Magazine.
There are many incidents where
frogs have been taken from formations
at various depths in the earth. The
writer himself whilst conducting work
on a mill site had his attention drawn
TO a frog that had just been blasted
out of the apparently solid rock 80
| feet below the surface and out of a
! small, rounded hole about double the
size of mans fist and no crevice or
I crack leading to it. The frog lived and
! was sent to the geological gardens in
/ London and it was found to be an en-
/ tirely new classification.

Later a watermelon feast was en-
joyed by all but more especially by
four young men that entered into a
contest. Those that entered were John
Lindstrom, Joe Tubb. W. E. Gillum
and Ed Doheney.
With hands tied behind them they
were to cross the hall and eat a quar-
ter melon. Mr.. Doheney proved the
best Splinter and proved also that he
just loved watermelon, as his slice of
melon was first to disappear.

Inspiration

Inspiration Consolidated Copper CO.
last week posted a regular divi-
dend of 81 per share quarterly. or IS
per share per annum. This compares
with the company's initial disburse-
ments Of SIPS Quarterly in April.
The increased dividend is payable
July 81 to stock of record July a. 1t
calls for 50 $685. The company is
expected to have not far from $12,-
100000 in cash and copper when the
dividend falls due Production in the
first six months Of 1916 approximates
$500, 900 pounds refined copper, pro-
dueed at cost of between SGSk
cents per pound. Profits. calculated on
Y cents copper are S9,S97,500 for the
six months However, while the aver
age price of copper during the six
months was close TO - cents, the
price actually received for the copper
delivered during the period was un-
der the figure-probably around %
cents. This would bring actual prof
its for the six months to approximate
~ SS,000000, or at a rate of over SIS
per share per annum. Some of the
copper delivered during the quarter
was sold under contracts made in 1915
at under z cents per pound. on the
other hand some of the copper sold
during the half year and deliverable
in the second half year was at very
nigh prices. 1t is likely that by the
end Of the year, Inspirations pro-
duction of the six months may show
profits commensurate with y cent
copper, but for the time being it is
more conservative to reckon profits
actually cashed in during the sly
months, based on about % cents fol-
conner metal

About 100000 pounds of copper

the Moctezuma phelps Dodge pro-
duced about 100000 pounds per

EAnboldt SmeIter

consolidated Arizona Smelling Co
reports a decline in May earnings to
sS7,65O. comparing with $4,000 in

These earnings are after deducting de-
precautions and all charges Produc-
ton in May as in April approXimated

ings win doubtless show a consider
able decline due to the burning down
OF the sampling mill, as well as to

CONGRESSIONAL DRUNKS
ARE TO Be PROTECTED

BY margin of one vote the Shep-
pgrd bill to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors in the
District of Columbia, was put into first
place on the senate calendar Saturday,
to be taken up this week and debated
until it is disposed of or replaced by
affirmative action. Senator Townsend
of Michigan sought to keep the volun-
teer officers retirement bill before the
senate as unfinished business, but a
motion to substitute the Sheppard bill
prevailed "a to 33.
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey op-
posing the bill said the saloon should
not be abandoned until some other
form of club for the poor man could be
established. He declared that resi-
dents of prohibition states are the
heaviest consumers of patent medicines
composed chiefly of cheap alcoholic
liquors. He insisted that prohibition
does not prohibit. The prohibition
state of Maine, he said, with a popu-
lation of less than 1000, 600 has more
drunkenness than the whole of Italy
with population of 10000, 600 and no
prohibition laws.
