"The railroads are between the devil

E. P. 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

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
London, England, 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.

"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

LITTLE STORY ABOUT
MICHIGAN COPPER MINES
Journal Man Tells Briefly of the Great Copper District on Lake
Superior Makes One Think of Aladdin's Lamp to Read of
' the Calumet and Hecla Has Produced 2,500,000 tons of
Copper .Worth $700,000,000.
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

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,-
