Roosevelt, had hia mind unbalanced
at the burning of the Slocum. His
friends say that he was one of the
survivors of that horror during
which his sweetheart was drowned,
the shock and grief of which prey

mental wreck.
Milwaukee, Oct 1 6 John Sell rank

for the shooting of Roosevelt. He

and to the point, being about as
fallacious i statement as could pos

The facts are that only at the
Anaconda Co's. Smelters are the
furnaces at all crowded. Those
serving the Butte mines are crowded
because of changes being made al
the concentrator at Anaconda and
.it the smelter at Great Falls. Tim
has been done only In order to sup
p!v the copper that the Anaconda
Co has contracted to deliver. For
>e\eral w<n>ks the Butte mines have
not been working Sundays on ac
count of the changes being made at
the treatment plants.
Can any one think that the astute
judges of market conditions who are
piloting Anaconda, the Internation
al and the United Metals Co , would
select this time for making these
important changes, if they did not
know that the copper market need
ed nursing in order to maintain the
present high price of the metal? The
Anaconda Co. and the people handl
ing its copper are as anxious to make
money as any one, and if there was
to be such a great demand for the
metal coming so suddenly to a
head, that an insignificant revolu
tion in Mexico and a threatened la
dor strike in Bingham, would upsot
the whole world market, they would
have been able to fortell it fairly

IM KHLO MINK TO
SHIP ALL WINTER
W I) Greenough, manager of the
?\tlas Mining Co., accompanied by
Mrs Greenough and the children,
rame up from Vancouver on the
Sophia and caught this morning's
trcln for the mine*.
The coming of Mr. Greenough,
s ho has returned with the intention j
<>f remaining at the mines all win
ter, is taken as a good sign that !
i he White Pass intends to oper- 1
? te all winter and ship ore as
: upidly as possible.
When Mr. IMckcBon went away
iie said that it was the intention of
i he company to continue develop
ing and shipping all winter, and
the presence of Mr. Greenough con
firms his statement.
In Russia, Austria and France
there is a general law limiting the
number of hours of employment,
or maximum working day. In the
iron and steel industries says the
Mining World: In Germany such
a law is absent; there are, however,
separate laws governing the maxi
mum working day in various branch
es of the German iron and iteel
trades. At the last convention of
the Christian Metal Workers' Union
of Germany, a movement was start
ed to fix 'lie maximum working day
to be applicable to the industry at
large; and it Is expected that at the
forthcoming sessions of the Reich
stag this subject will have a promi
nent place In the legislative delib
erations.

For aotne w?*k? past the Yukon
Gold Company had been after the
Murkier Interests, but found It Im
possible to romp to terms with the
owner. It is understood that Mr
Murkier was asking as high as
$9,000 for his holdings, while the
Yukon Oold Company was not pre
pared to offer more than $1,500

Mrs. Fred Carter heard of the ne
gotiations, and as soon as she learn
ed of the deadlock made a rash pro
posal to Mr. Murkier. After a lit
