Ronton, Mass., February 24, 1S9(. The copper market appears to be re coveiing from its late period of depres sion. Lake iDffot i held ttroDg at 1(!V cents and a Dale at 11 cent in said to have been made in New York IhhI week, although the amount, date of delivery and other particulars were uot men tioned. The consumptive demand is re ported laree and iucrensiujr, both for do mestic and foreign account; at home be cause of the revival in general business aud the wider uses for copper in the elec trical field; abroad because of these fac tors and also the war preparations which are going on nil the time in European countries. At 11 cents per pound for Lake copper, nearly all of the producing mines cuo make a fair profit, while some of the inines at this figure can pay large dividends. Producers express a hopeful view of the situation and look forward to an increasing business during the spring and summer months. The street generally is bearish!? in clined on l'.utte & Boston stoek since the revelations recently made, although only semi-otlJeially. A story has been circu lated that the insiders' plan for the dis posal of the Davis stock, consisting of 1)0,000 shares, included the defaulting of the interest on the f2.ii00,000 bonds and the foreclosure of the mortgage, takiog the property for the bonds and wipiog out the stock altogether. Thisplan would be unworthy, of the management of the Butte & Boston mine, but. would not lack originality, it having been tried in a number of instances with great success, so far as the insiders wi re concerned. As remarked in a Boston paper a few days ago, "if the management of the Butte & Boston mine would publish regular monthly statements and a detailed an nual report, the insiders might not make quite so much money, but the stockhold ers would lose less." The Butte business has "queered" other copper mining stocks to no small extent, esecially those under the same manage ment as toe tfutte & Boston mine, and prices, as a rule, have sagged under a pressure of long tock. On the other hand, there has been u good demand for some of the gold mining shares, which have been strong at higher prices. Pioneer, particularly, has been in good request and has advanced from 4 to G.'i (par $10). This company makes regu lar monthly reports of its product, re ceipts and eijK-nditures, and is fast be coming a favorite with investors. Dur ing the past four months the Pioneer, with Its old stamp mill of twenty heads, as accumulated a surplus of f 20,000. Of this amount some $0,000 has been appropriated to purchnsennair compres sor and the company recently sold f 13,- 000 gold at a premium of Ji-of-1 per cent to a local bank which had subs?rilied for the new government bonds. The com pany has an additional stamping plant of forty heads under construction, which will increaxe the receipts three-fold, while the cost of running the same will not be much more than at present. The third and fourth tunnel arc encountering some very good paving ground and are expected to strike the rich vein within a couple of months. The existence of this vein has been proven, by a diamond drill, to a depth of 500 feet and carries ore assaying from H0 to flOO per ton, which compares with f H er ton for the ore which is now being taken out of the tunnels. Bean Hater months before the editor and the musician were collaborat ing. The war intervened, and Lieuten ant Bennett of the Fortieth Wisconsin volunteers returned to Elkhorn to open drug store and resume his verse writ ing. He and Mrs. Webster began in lfr67 to work on Sunday school song book, called 'The Signet Ring." which was afterward published. This period of his life is the most precious of all his experiences to Dr. Bennett Not long ago he told the whole story to an interested group of listeners, ols eyes Ailing with tears as he vindi cated his friend from calumnies: "Currency has been given to the shameful story that Mr. Webster was drunk when he wrote the musio, and another account has it that we were both drunk. I am thankful to do justice to one of the noblest men that ever lived a fino, sensitive soul, with the true artistio feeling. Again, it has been said that we were both infidels, and the song the ribald jest of a carouse. As to my religion, that is my own affair, but the hope and longing of every immortal soul as expressed in that song were the faith of both of us. To both creation would have seemed a farce if infinite love and immortality had not overshadowed us and promised a life of bliss beyond the grave. . "Mr. Webster, like many musicians, was of an exceedingly nervous and sen sitive nature, and subject to fits of de pression. I knew his peculiarities well, and when I found him given up to blue devila, I just gave him a cheerful sony to work on. One morning be nm into the store and walked to the stove with out speaking. " 'What's up now, Webster?' I asked. " "It's no matter. It will be all right by and by. ' "The idea of the hymn came to me like a fash of sunshine 'The Sweet By and By.' Everything will be all right men. ny wouldn't that make a good hymn?' " 'Maybe it would he replied gloom ily. Turning to the desk, I wrote as rapidly as I could. In less than half an hour, I think, the song as it stands to day was written. Here it is : mARqi'KTTtc eurxTV. MAKgVICTTK.

Bright, had coma in. I handed the verges to Mr. Webster, a little tremulous witb emotion. As he read it bis eyes kindled. Stepping to the desk, he began to jot down the notes. He picked up his violin and tried them. In ten minutes we four gentlemen were singing that song. Mr. R. R. Crosby came in, and witb tears in his eyes said, 'Gentlemen, that hymn is immortal.' We were all excited, elated. Within two weeks the children of the town were singing it on the streets. "In 1868 'The Signet Ring was pub lished, the published distributing circu lars to advertiso it and on the Pheets was 'The Sweet By and By.' On the itrougtli of that one song nearly 250,000 copies or tne hooit were sold. The song was afterward brought out in sheet mu sic, and it has been translated into a number of foreign languages.
