This decision was reached when the
solid and substantial men who form

General Manager R. A. Snyder came
down from Joseph yesterday and Is at

with the outlook and exhibits some

reporter for the Observer. Mr. Snyder
said: "It Is a property of merit I

a doubt that the Copper King will be
a great mine. The stock is to be
raised in price, but I wish to saj
to those who have been contemplating
purchasing that until the 25th, I will
issue stock at the same old price, but
after that date It goes to twenty-five
cents, according to the directors' de

mine and examine the ore for they
would be pleased. I have yet to ec

Two years ago Camp sent Horace

' A MARY ANDERSON POSE.
Falling Robts That Rtiulttd In a Most
Graceful Attitude.
Harry Furnlss tells a story of Mary
Anderson's Initial season In London.
"Her first appearance was as PerdUta,"
he says in the Strand Magazine, "and
I thought her the most charming fig
ure 1 bad ever seen on the stage.
"She kindly posed for me after a
performance at the Lyceum, and when
itae asked me the position I would like
her to take 1 mentioned one she had
assumed In the second act. In which
she stood holding the drapery In her
hand, which was resting on her hip.
'Do you really mean that? she asked.
'Yes; that attitude struck me as the
most artistic of all your graceful move
ments.' 'Well.' she said, 'as a matter
of fact, my robes bad come unfastened
nd were falling off, and I was holding
them on, but 1 shall now purposely
make them slip In the same way.
And that pose was repeated nightly
during the ruu of the play. '
"On the first night at the Lyceum
she was moved In the great scene by
the rough, picturesque lover, played
on that occasion by handsome Jack
Barnes. As she rose to her feet It was
perceived, to the delight of us all. but
to the discomfiture of the actors, that
Mr. Barnes' wig had caught In the
shoulder clasp of Perdita and rose
from bis bead with her and further
more refused to be detached for some
time.
"Even this popular actress could not
escape the chaff of the gods. She was
playing Galatea in Sir W. S. Gil
bert's play and a charming Galatea
she made when, In the critical scene
in which she appeals to the gods to
enable her to bring Pygmalion and
Cynisca together again, the actress
held up her arms and, unconsciously
looking up at the gallery, cried out:
" "The gods will help me!'
"To Miss Anderson's surprise, all the
occupants of the gallery, as if by pre-
arrangement, called out with one voice.
We will? "
Of Course.
"Do you have any idea of how much
money your wife spends?"
"My wife?"
"Yes."
"I certainly have."
"How much?"
"Every cent she gets."
