Ripley, of the Santa Fe system today, discussing the Impending strike that may affect 48 rallronds of the West and South. "In almost every other line of ac tivity," ho went on, "employers can raise prices to meet the Increased cost of production, or maintenance of their establishments. Wo can't do that. Wo are not permitted to raise freight rates to meet wage Increases. Do you see what our position is?" Ripley .discussed the threatened strike of the railway firemen, while he prepared for the golf links at the Santa Barbara Club. He expressed the hope tliat arbitra tion will not be Ineffective In settling the difficulties between the firemen and the employing railroads. o TWENTY-THREE f TTNITED PRESS LEASED WlItH.l Honolulu, March 1G.

Increasing interest is being shown by the public here in the reports from Biaritz regarding King Ed ward's1 ,health since" he went there recently. At first it was reported that the king suffered only a slight cold but now, it Is understood that he has had several chills. The reports say that he has failed to 'respond to the treatment which is usually successful. The king's advanced age causes apprehension as the result of the re ports. A year ago, when he went to Biar ritz there were many rumors of ser ious illness but last aujtumn and much of the time this winter he ap peared to be greatly mproved. o "WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong nnd HenlUiy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The. kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of Impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter Is left 'In the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pa'n In the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, dis orders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, Irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits In the urine, etc. But If you. keep the Al ters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. D. H. Ellne, 12th- and Oak Sts., Salem, Ore., says: "About three years ago I suffered severely from kidney and bladder trouble. Al though I tried a number of reme dies I was not helped until I Pro cured Doan's Kidney Pills and be gan their use. They checked my trouble in a short time and I have had no return attack."

One of the unanswerable ques tions Is: "What becomes of all the plns?w One that Is almost as diffl cult to answer Is: "What becomes of all tho copper?" Tho more one studies tho figures of copper produc tion, the more difficult the question is- to answer. Few persons except mining men and those manufacturing articles of which copper Is a factor, have any Idea of the vast amount of this metal tho world requires In Its busi ness. The Lake Superior district, out side of Butte, Montana, Is the great est copper mining district In tho world, though the Ely district, In Novada bids fair to excel either of them, both in the general richness of its ores, and the amount of 113 yield. And yet with all this vast yle'd of this, the oldest copper d's trict In the United States, It Is less than one-fifth of the copper product ol the world. The Lake Superior mine? were discovered in 1844, bit mining was done only in a small way, and it was not until 1848 that the production passed the million pound mark. From that t'mo the yield has steadily grown, The dis trict in which the copper ores are found Is about 75 miles long by 10 miles wide, and while the product has been vast the country has only been scratched. The ores are of low grado, but the cheapness of fuel and transportation makes their working profitable. What effect tho opening of copper mines in Alaska and the development of tho great bodies of high grade ores on the Pa cific coast, such are known to exist in the Cascade range, as the mines on the Santlam, and those In south ern Oregon and northern California, cannot yet be estimated, but the ever Increasing demand for copper will undoubtedly make, a market for all that can bo produced, Of tho many mines In tho "Lake" district the Calumet & Hecla Is the most widely known; and Is In fact, as far as copper Is concerned, tho "jewel box" of the world. Up to 1871, although found more than 20 years before, this mlno had produced only $950,000. In that year It was ro-organlzed, and 100,000 shares of stock were hwuod at a par value of $25 per share, but of this only $12 a share was actually paid in; as the expenditure of that amount placed the mine on a paying basis. It hns paid div'dends over since, and every year without a mlse, or for 39 years. ; These dividends run from $1,000, j 000 to $10,000,000, and avoraged 1 about 250 per cent a year for 30 years on the money actually ln- I vested. I Besides this the company has ac I cumulated vast Interests, among wh'ch Is practically a one-half Inter I est in fifteen of the leading mines In the district, worth In tho markets now more than $30,000,000, and tho Installing of the greatest mln'ng plant In the world. On the Cnlu- rtiot conglomerate mine nro four arge boiler plants, and six hoisting plants, the latter running from 1,000 to 7,000 horsa power each. tt the No. 4 shaft there 's a group of the most powerful mining machinery ever built. Including besides mauy big Cortlw engines, two Rand air compressor of 25 and 40 drill capa city respectively, and a Mackinac 7.000 lions power wiglne operating four air compressors with a 050 drill capa-ity, and at every other of the many bis; shaf's of the mine are sim ilar plants: while scattered over th company's ground are blacksmith sb.ops, carpenter shop, timber mills, elect r'r light, power plants, water works, and In fact everything necs--tiry fur the rhta)i und rapid hand ling of the company's affairs, all the best and nwst up-to-date. There 9 re three dlstlnot systems of water works, one at the shaft in the town of Calumet, one at Lake Linden and To select from. To effect brisk selling we are giving 10 per cent on all new suits ornaments, etc, Bear in mind that our suits are at least from Before you pay a fancy price for your new Spring Hat, in vestigate this extraordinary out of season event, one on the shore of Lajco Superior four miles from Calumet. The last pumps water for domestic purposes principally, and has a capacity of 4,000,000 gallons daily, while at tho Calumet dam there are seven pumps with a combined capacity of 45,000, 000 gallons dally. Besides these tho company owns the Hecla, Torch Lake railroad, and also owns and operates the canal connecting Torch Lake with the government water way and Portage Lake. It has a series of docks and wharves and a vast system) of coal and ore bunkers pn Lake Linden, one of these hold ing 200,000 tons. All of Its smel ters are located near the mines ex cept one which is at Buffalo, and which is at Buffalo, and which was was built to handle high-grade ores only,, but Is now used to treat ores containing arsenic, which ores from the lowest levels do. It might bo added to the company's credit that It maintains two large public libra ries for the free use of Its employes, one at Calumet and one at Linden. And also maintains 30 churches of 12 different denominations. It em-, ploys 6,000 men; the other mines In tho district bringing the number up to 19,000. These things have been mentioned simply to show the vast' amount of money that has been spent besides that paid out in dividends, which to tal $113,500,000, making $95, re turned In 39 years for every dollar invested, or 250 per cent a year for 39 years on every dollnr put Into the stock. Nor Is this all tho profit, or return the big mine has made to those who trusted lier. Tho stock costing 39 years ago $12, Is now selling at $C40 or 53 times what It originally cost, which with tho divi dends paid to date makes the actual return on the money invested 148 times the cost, or $1,775, per share. This Is about $3.50 a year On each dollar Invested. With tho ore In sight, the vast area of practically virgin territory tho mine will con tinuo to pay Indefinitely and It will be hundreds of years, anyway, be fore tho copper mines of the Lake Superior district will be oxhausted. But tho Calumet & Hecla Is not tho only apple In tho dumpling, though the blggost one. Hero are a few of the others and their records. The Ahmeok, selling 11 years ago at $2 a share, Is now snapped up as fast as offered at $210. Wolverlno, sold at $2, In 1894, and now after paying $57 In dividends, Is selling at $140. Lake, organized four years ago, wbb hawked on tho streots for $V a sharo at-first and 18 months ago was selling at $7 but is now worth $90, and with Its Immense showing, it is predicted tho price will go to $150 before long, as it has re cently uncovered some of tho larg est and richest bodies of copper ever found In the district. Now lot us boo for a moment what the district has produced, putting H In such shape that the mind can grasp it. for millions and billions are much ul'ko to the avorago mind, which Indeod can scarcoly grasp either. A million days, for Instance, Is 2740 years, and a million little minutes would make a year and ton months. If the Wandering Jew had saved $.1 a day over since he was punished for revllllng the Savior by being refused the sweet boon of death, he would have on deKslt now. If the cash'er hud not skinned or something else happened to Ills money, about $608,001. He would have to save for ft 30 year yet to have a million.. Theenmount of t-npiier produced by the Calumet and Heola is no' knowu to the writer, but as the mines paid $113,000,000 of the $182,000,000 paid by ,the d'atrlct. and as the district has yielded more thn 5.000,000.000 pounds or pure eoppar, the Calumet and Hecla, It la fair to presume, yielded 1.100,000,- Be wise and investigate. You can effect a saving in many instances of the Dollar Liberty. St. The Store for! Exclusive 000 pounds. The yield of the district reduced to tons would be 2,500,000. Btnmlo flenres. as has been stated, do not convey a tangible Idea of tho matter.
