The properties are under the management of Waller llarvey Weed, one of the norld's leading authorities on minintr. publisher of the "Copper Handbook,''the finan cial world's text book on copper mines and values. CRYSTAL COPI'LR is shipping ores rctrularly from the upper workings?the January shipments of eitrht ears \KTT1N<? nearly $12,000 as delivered to the Ana conda smelter.

ALLEN & CO., BROKERS 85 Devonshire Street, Boston ,ST "Silvers" In the December 0 issue of "FIELDS MARKET LF.TTF.R" we called attention to the strong position of the loading Silver issues based on the sharp advance in silver metal and confidently pre dicted a further advance which should carry this class of securi ties to much higher levels. The depression in the general market has naturally checked any marked demonstration in Silvers, hut Hie metal has continued its advance and is holding firm around lop figures and the stocks must soon follow. This situation is touched on again in the current issue of our market letter, as follows: Willi silver sellltiK hi 7 ><? per oun< e. :irnl with >< utronc poj-jiltillit > of 'ho metal'.*, still further advance i<> Si or more. tin* silver ?n?kv iir? forcibly hroiicht to 111 ?? at lent ion of iltr invesl>n'.
