With steady curtailment of spelter
output in Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois
and Kansas, the settlement price is
$6.2o per 100 pounds, or 50 per ton
lower figure in the Colorado market.
AS present prices are under cost Of
production the smelters are not in
clined to concede anything to buyers
Consumers are not eager to buy save
for present consumption, but a better
market is looked for when building
operations set in. 1t is held by some
authorities that the bottom has been
reached. The London price Of silver
is officially fixed at 4775 pence per
ounce, the parity of 81 per ounce in
New York being 4665 pence. Vice
President Brush of the American
Smelling and Refining Company esti-
mates an annual shortage Of silver
equal to 17O,OOO,OOO ounces and ex-
poets high prices for the metal, espe-
cially il the United States mint direc-
tor were forced to buy to make up for
shipments to India. Americas output
in 1918 was 6S,00OOOO ounces. For
tungsten the market is Stagnant with

per unit. If the price falls below Sl5
the Burmese mines may cease to pro-
duce following the example of the
Boulder, Colo, companies. A New
York dispatch says that the 100000
600 pounds Of copper which the export
association took over has been dis
posed of. If this is true, then the
situation in the trade will materially
improve. Small sales are reported in
London at one point less than Is cents
to the pound. 1t is stated in that mar
ket that the expected recovery from
the battlefields Of Europe is placed at
100000 pounds

Colorado.

There is every indication that the
great La Sal copper mines at Cashin,
Colo, western Montrose county, are to
be opened this spring.
A two-foot flat vein of gold, silver
and copper, running $40 to the ton,
has been opened up on the Fannie
Rawlings near Leadville, and ship
mentS of two carloads a week have
been begun. The strike is on the third
and fourth levels and the ore is the
same quality as that found in the
Ibex.
Recent development at the ninth,
tenth and eleventh levels of the Cres-
son mine at Cripple Creek has dis
closed veritable network of veins, ac-
cording to the report of General Man
ager A. l.. Bloomfield. The mine man
ager is further accredited with the
statement that 1t is confidently ex-
pected these veins will converge and
form another huge and rich ore body.
High values obtain in the ore from
these veinlets and have ranged from
two ounces gold to the ton and up
ward.
Practically every tungsten mine in
the Nederland district has suspended
operations, throwing from 300 to 800
men out of employment The owners
of the closed properties give as the
reason for suspending operations that
there is no market for their product
due to the ending of the war. Thay
state that work will not he resumed

larger properties which are closed are

purpose Of his death and the begin
ming Of the church. The religious fer
vor of st. Patrick appealed to the
warm hearts Of his listeners and his
teachings swept Ireland like a confla-
grafton. Gods churches arose out OF
Druidical ruins and the houses Of the
Druids became monasteries. Bearing
aloft the banner of his Master. st. Pat
rick's travels over Erin were tri-
umphantly successful.
1t Is not given to many workers to
see the fruits Of their labors, but un-

Ireland became known as the Island

REFUSED INVITE TO DINNER
With Bon Ton After Beating
CouIon Of New Orleans.

Young Clancy, clever Baltimore
bantam, who enlisted in the navy, has
Just returned from England, and
brings the interesting story that he
declined an invitation to dine with the
prince of Wales.
The prince Of Wales is quite a
sportsman and took fancy to Cha
pey's work. Clancy easily defeated
the Englishman he met in the feather
weight class. Eddie Coulon ol New
Orleans also disposed of his foreign
opponent in handy fashion, and then
there arose an argument as to which
was the better American feather
weight.
The English sportsmen proposed a
match to determine this fact, and Cha
ney and Coulon both quickly acqui-
esced. The result was that Clancy
won over Coulon, and then came his
invitation to dine with the aristocracy
Of the old country.
As CLANCY put 1t, he politely told
the prince in his best East Baltimore
English he had never worn boiled
shirt" was not . drawingroom fighter.

Patrick. There Is story that once
there was a dispute between two fac
tons, one claiming that the patron
saint was born on the eighth. the other
that he came to this world on the ninth
Of March. As the quarrel could not
otherwise be settled, the 18th was de-
cided on by the simple compromise Of
adding eight and nine together. But
there appears 10 be NO reason for
doubling that st. Patrick was born ei-

w WHEREVER an Irishman
wv makes his home. there an
altar to st. Patrick II estab-
lished, and on the seventeenth of
March a trail Of green enriches the
globe. The shamrock from the old sod
reaches faraway places and decOrates
thousands Of gallant Irishmen who
BY the symbol proclaim their devotion
to st. Patrick. This year, owing to
the war and the uncertainty Of the fu-
ture, the celebrations are somewhat
saddened.
Historians tell us with unfailing zest
that st. Patrick was born Of pious and
Godfearing parents in the year 372
Of the Christian era. The little that
Is known of his youth has been sadly
garbled by chroniclers who, being am
bilious to produce something new,
seem to have forged some points OF
the history. OF these chroniclers some
are, no doubt, correct, but which? On
this account some painstaking writer
has given us the facts as far as truly
known, and with these we must be
content.
In 3S7 he was sold as a slave to a
chieftain Of Ulster. To the youthful
slave Ireland seemed Godforsaken and
overrun by iends Of evil power. There
was no church. no sacraments. He
could find no priest nor any one who
paid any attention to religion. He
was "alone among scoffers and the wor-
shippers Of craven images"
His life Of prayer and self-sacrince
continued during the long years Of his
term of slavery, which were three.
Finally freed from his bondage he en-
tered the priesthood as he had SO long
desired. After he had finished his
studies, he was ordained and the zeal
Of his soul became a conflagration. AS
many devout souls have prayed to do.
he wished to convert the whole world.
and as all desire. he prayed pathet-
ically to wear the martyrs crown.
France knew Of him and there he la
bored for a time. as he did in Italy
and the Thyrrhenion sea islands. But

most eagerly and he was permitted a

Travelled to Rome to get the permis-

He was consecrated bishop and, hav-
ing received his instructions and hav-
ing been blessed, he began his Jour.
ney to his new mission.
The inhabitants Of Erin were con-
sidered in an advanced state Of civ
ilixation, and st. Patrick began his Ia

deeds he accomplished In the name on

and accepted the mysteries Of the
