Its new fnrnace which will be the largest 'iu the Canadian -west, is nearly completed and should be in commission, inside .of two months. After it is blown'in the company .will produce at the rate of 8,000,- ,000' to\" 9,000,000 pounds of copper .annually at .a cost of 9 cents per pound. Further expansion is contemplated and the prospect; is good that the Dominion Copper company (will make another Granby. Attention is called to the fact that there are only i/00,000 shares of Dominion Copper stock compared with jl^uOjOOO shares of jGranby. This fact warrants the belief 'that Dominion Copper stock will prove fully as good a speculation-as the .Granby was when it sold around ' $4 and' 85 per share, two or three years ago. The Dominion company is in splendid shape financially, having approxi- . mately $750,000 of cish ou baud.

A man never realizes how much personal property he owns until lie moves. Some men bury the hatchet with one hand and hold on to the axe with the other. Willing workers achieve much, provided they don't try to woik the wrong man. One woman can tell what another woman has on as far as a man can smell onions. Since memory lost her store of information, forgeffitlness has been at a piemitttn. Missmated mystery sometimes cover a \"skeleton in a closet,\" or end in a divorce court.

There are several millions of us here who are not long-haired, nor profane, nor given to gambling, to whom hairy chaps and leather cow clothes are merely ill-jinolling relics of history; and wdio occasionally get into evening clothes and go to shows. But you couldn't, get the easterner to believe if. The magazines dare not admit it. The New York lioston literary bunch couldn't stand for it; they must nose around and smell sweat, hair and leather before they are convinced thai they are across the Missouri. ��������� That's what makes the Western man amused. When the president of the United Statos is himsell photographed in \"chaps,\" and with his abundant cutlery on, tin western man has to laugh. Tinman with the hairy pants is about as much a curiosity in the west as he is to the six months' tourist from Yonkers. It must be that-the eastern literary sharp gets his funny ideas from people like C. F.
