The Hecla is one of the steady shippers of ore from Baver county. The average price of spelter at New fork during the ten years ending with 19UC was 5.03c, equivalent to about 4.88c, St. Louis, but the general trend has been upward, because of the increasing cost of production. So extensive has been the demand and the drain for teams in the oil excitement center of southern Utah that the Utah Indian Peak company can r not secure means of hauling its ores to the railroad tracks. Eight men are at the old Cumberland property at Osceola, Nevada, and they are taking out a tine quality of stuff Plenty of gold ore. has been placed on the dump to keep the mill railing for several months. The mill will be kept working all winter. The directors of the Calumet & Arizona will meet about the 20th of November to declare the quariely dividend. It is believed that the quarterly rate will be reduced to $3, but a great deal will depend upon the condition of the metal market during next month. From Aura, Nevada, comes the news of a strike in a region that has been generally considered as barren ground. Prof. Griswold of the State School of Mines of Missouri is one of the principal owners. The ledge is a wide one and carries an average value of $7 in gold. The lost ore shoot in the Sandstorm mine at Goldlield, from which Loftus and Davis and A. H. Mayne took $400,-00three years ago, is believed to have been recovered in a lease on the Loftus and Davis block by Webb Park-isoand Peter Erbel. Four feet ofl ore has been opened which runs from $60 a ton to $8,000. The coke manufactured in Colorado and Utah in 190G amounted to 1,455,-90short tons, valued at $4,504,748, against 1,378,824 tons, valued at in 1905. The increase in 1906 was, therefore, 77,081 tons, or 5.6 per cent in value. The average of price per ton advanced from $3.02 in 1905 to $3.09 in 1906. The Sultana company, which owns r a splendid property about fifteen miles southwest of Vernon, in Tooele county, Utah, in the range skirting the desert, has decided to beway gin operations in a systematic and make the mines what they ought to be, heavy producers of fine lead ores. While the metals are being surrounded by strange shadows, bringing doubt and uncertainty to the minds of all, there is one class of mining that Is being pressed forward with unusual vigor, and that is the coal mining industry. All of the western coal mines are being worked to their full capacity. Daniel Guggenheim, president of the company, Exploration Guggenheim says the present disturbances in the financial district is due to a state of hysteria on the part of the publlo brought about by the activity of bear operators and resulting in the sacrilead-silve- high-grad- e 0 n 5 n0 attention ro low graue Jeweljr or Watches, but ex ercise great care in keeping prices low.

In it Marshall P. Wilder, the well known humorist, cites this story as an illustration of one method. "Here is a story with a joke in it about Labou-chere- , the genial editor of London Truth. When he was standing for the borough of Northampton for the English parliament a little girl came up to her father and said: 'Papa who made Mr. Labouchere?' 'Why, Providence, my dear,' answered the somewhat astonished parent, 'And what for, papa?' inquires the child. Now that isn't a bad joke. It was natural, anyway. But listen to one of mine, which realiy has the same point, though it is brought out in a different way. A child and her mother are on the cars. Opposite them sits a young maa dressed in the height of fashion. Says the child: 'Mamma, what is that?' and, as she asks the question, she points tp the young man opposite. 'Hush, my dear,' answers the mother. 'But, mother, I want to know.' To quiet the ch..d the mother whispers in her ear: 'He is what we call a dude, dear.' The child persists as usual in gaining some more information. 'And who made him, mamma?' 'Why, Providence, dear, of cor-se- ,' replies the mother sotto voice, whereat the child exclaims: 'Oh, mother, doesn't Providence like to have fun sometimes?' You see, the stories are really alike. At all events, the point is the same." GIRL KILLED A HAWK.

Rockefeller has the following to say regarding the financial sit uation: "I think that the existing alarm among investors is not warranted, and I hope the good common sense of the American people will control the situation. Personally I have absolute faith in the future of the values of our securities and the soundness of underlying conditions." American copper producers are disposing of some of their surplus production through the London metal exchange, selling standard warrants in that market against deliveries of electrolytic from America. The low price thus far recorded In electrolytic is 12 to 12 Vic, the latter being the price for most of the business last week. It is necessary to go back a great many years to find a parallel for the present extreme slump in the stock market. Those who witnessed the panic of 187S state that It was not so prolonged or severe In the stock mar ket as the present decline, although, unlike this movement, it was accompanied by widespread commercial disaster, of which there is no evidence now. With a capital stock of $100,000, diinto shares of the value of 10 rents each, the Jessco Gold Mining company of Ogden filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of statn last week. The company owns four mining claims In Thlstleberry canyon, Weber county. The Utah Standard Oil company, with a capital of 1,000,000 shares, the par value of the shares bcijig $1 each, and which own9 and controls about 141 0 acres of patented land, bouu'lit direct from the state of Utah, has tiled articles of incorporation with the secretary of state.

Shields, 18, of Milton, Mass., while the young woman, accompanied by some friends, was spending the afternoon at the ' Blue Hills reservation. The party had just had their luncheon and were feeding some pigeons when the hawk swooped down and started to carry off one of the pigeons in its talons. Miss Shields quickly picked up a stone, and throwing it at the bird made it drop its prey. The hawk then attacked the girl and nestling on one of her shoulders started to beat her with its wing. After knocking off the bird with her hands Miss Shields picked up one of the' tonic bottles, which the party had been using, and hitting the hawk a hard blow on its head, killed it. Except for a few scratches the young woman was not injured. Hurry. To our own age belongs the credit ot having raised hurry from the degraded position of a disease to that of a commercial process. Formerly hurry simply brought people to an early grave, with nothing to show for it, whereas now it is become the means of transforming peace of mind, which is a solecism, to say the best of it, into reatly money. Hurry has grown to te a great fact in life. Even the fashions take account pf it, until women are found doing up their hair in such a way that they may go the speed limit without fear of its coming down. And the best of hurry is that it is its own sufficient justification. Nobody expects hurry to have any particular reason behind it any more Life. Making Use of a Friend. (N.

"Meet me at the Waldorf within an hour," called an intimate friend at the other end of the wire; "must see you. Don't fall. Within an hour. Important. Good-by.The Harlemite grumbled, wondered why business should follow a tired man into his home, got into his boots, kissed his wife and hustled for the hotel. His friend was waiting for him In the Waldorf cafe. "Well, Jim," he said, "what is it? What's up?" "What's up?" echoed Jim. "Why, I'm as lonely as a castaway Want company some one to talk with. What will you drink?" Jim is a bachelor. A Harlem Each His Work. If you cannot preach, then pray. It you cannot go, then give so that others may go. If you cannot sing, then sympathize.
