4 COPPER EXPORTS ARE STEADILY INCREASING China Purchasing Bulk of the Valuable Metal BIG DISCOVERY IS MADE AT BULLFROG Iktes on Ore for New lUilroad. Dredge Mining Popular. ( l ood News Bunched The «>xporta of copper of 5.803 ton* from New York and Baltimore, of which 1,»54 tons were for shipment to Shanghai, the copper Is reported belna; taken hy the steamship Indrawadl. A portion of this cargo has already been reported, making the full amount 2,054 tons. The exports to China i him far during! March have been 8,600 tons, in round numbers. The exports from Bal* tlmore were to Bremen and Rotterdam, the latter port ' being the gateway to Germany. For the week ending Fri day the exports to n.ll points from the Atlantic ports aggregate 6,164 tons, and thus far during March, 13,293 tons. It In estimated that shipments from Seat tle in March will be 1,500 tons to the Orient. The imports of copper at Atlantic ports during; the week ending March 16 were 110 tons of Ingots and 8,663 tons of ores, making the total arrivals since the first of March 1,330 tons of copper and 13,9*2 tons of ores. It Is very tvldent that to Judge from a statistical standpoint copper con tinues' to occupy* a strong position, and notwithstanding the light buying of domestic i and foreign Interests the probability seems to be that prices will be well sustained, especially for electro lytic copper, which is held firmly at about 15% c cash New York, and for Im mediate shipment a premium Is being demanded even on this price. Lake copper, however, Is more freely offered, and It Is .confidently stated that out eide brands could be , bought at 15V£c, while standard brands are held at 15 3-8 c cash, and small lots are bring ing 15% c delivered thirty days. Casting grades are quotable at 14 7-8 to 15 l-Bc, the latter for small lots delivered to Consumers. There Is less activity In the European markets; for March shipment it is dif ficult to shade prices, but business is still being done at a shade under £71, both on the continent and in London. Rates on Ore Some time ago the officials of the Salt Lake route assured mining men Interested In the camp's of southern Nevada the road would establish a schedule of freight charges on ores destined for the Salt Lake smelters that would be satisfactory; it being the policy of the company to foster the mining industry and otherwise do all it can toward the development of the region through which the road passes. i It was learned yesterday that the new schedule would probably be announced within the next two weeks. Several Ploche producers have been withhold ing shipments until the new rate goes Into effect. At the present time $5.50 per ton is the cheapest ore will be handled from Caliente to Salt Lake; that the new rate will be considerably under this . figure there is no doubt. Advices from southern Nevada along the line of the San Pedro confirm the report that the old Keystdne group of mines and mill at Good Springs has passed into the hands of a British syn dicate tot $337,500. The Keystone group of mines is one of the best known in the region and for many years has been productive of gold, although In recent years it has been operated only at In tervals. For almost a quarter of a century the mines of Ploche have been Idle. Not be cause they lacked ore, for they con tain lots of it, but because the camp has been isolated, without transporta tion facilities or other means of provid ing methods by which the vast quanti ties of low grade ore could be handled economically. In the old days, when the camp was several hundred miles away from the nearest railroad station, only the richer ores could be handled, the balance was left unmlned. The time has come when It is possible to handle the lower grade product profit ably, and this has been made so by the building of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Stilt Lake railroad. Tombstone Mines Prosperous From all of the properties of the Tombstone Consolidated company come most favorable reports of rich ore bodies being encountered, which demon strates that the ground has not been worked out above the water level as waß thought by many, while below the water level everything Indicates that the ore bodies are increasing in richneßx, says the Prospector. The big pumps are throwing out about 3,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours, and the meas urements show that the water Is being lowered In the district from fifteen to twenty feet per month. Work is being rushed in cutting out a station on the 800-foot level and one of the pumps from the 700 will then be moved to that station and the work of handling th" water facilitated. The management ex pects to resume sinking In the shaft an soon as this pump Is Installed and they hope to sink to a depth of ]000 fe*t without putting In additional pumping apparatus. When the 1000-foot level shall have been reached a large pump that la now on hand will be placed on this level and in addition a new onto that has been ordered. • * A new strike has recently been made in the Silver Thread In the drift which runs Into the «H Empire ground, which promises to be quite extensive in slie . and which carries no small values in gold and silver. Regular shipments vi« now b*lnu made frotn ThtMd, And from all appeArAtices they will be Increased In the near future.

Rich Bullfrog Ore A small sized sensation was created A-mong mining men of Columbia and Uoidfleld on Monday, when the first shipment of ore from the original Oullfron mine arrived and passed through camp, says ft. H. ftlchards, who has c6me to Los Antfeles from thAt great gold camp. In order that every body might be made aware of that most Important fact when the wagons containing the ore passed through the towns a string band was placed on the forward wagon to dispense music and attract the attention of the populace. The ore was considered so valuable that It was deemed best to send two fthotftun messengers with It, and their presence on the WAgons added much to the Interest manifested by the crowd. The shipment was the first from the district, and it required three teams to haul It. The assay value of the ore was $36,408, and there was something like ten tons in the shipment, which was sent to the Reno reduction works. The ore was taken from a shaft which is now only 62 feet deep, and which has carried shipping values almost from the grass roots. Alumina la Found While doing excavation work In its tunnel near town a few weeks ago the Klamath Canal company discovered a White substance of such a nature and In so large a quantity that it sent sam* pies away and had them assayed. The results, says the Klamath Republican, show that it Is a formation known technically as silicate of aluminum. The assay shows that it is of the purest quality yet discovered. It is as white as snow and perfectly solid, though very light In its natural state. Its principal value in its natural state would be for polishing' metals, as It Is absolutely free from grit, though from experiments' made It is believed the substance Can be adapted to other pur poses. When exposed to heat it be comes hard and solid as stone. California Mine News Fourteen hundred acres on the south Bide of the Tuba river, between six and eight miles east of Marysville, and comprising parts of the James O'Brien tract and adjoining ranches, has been sold for dredging at the rate of $150 per acre, says the Marysville Demo crat. According to the Redding Searchlight a quartz mill will soon be In course of construction on Mule mountain, three quarters of a 'mile from Centerville. It will have four stamps and will be put up for a company at the head of which is'j. T. Jensen of San Francisco. The property on which the mill will be built is the Black Jack. The Yreka Journal reports that a very rich quartz ledge has lately been discovered on the lower Klamath, near Happy Camp. The rich strike at the Navajo or old White Oak mine at Lower Springs more than holds out; in fact, it is Im proving at every shot, says the Shasta Courier. Over forty feet of this rich chute has- been uncovered, averaging from two and one-half to three feet wide. The assays run as high as $1000. An assay taken from a drill hole across the vein runs nearly $300. The assays are not mere picked and selected sam ples, but of average ore, and demon strate the general value of the vein. The Essex Consolidated is finding good rock, a new ledge being opened which runs $9, with sulphurets running high. Ten stamps at present are work- Ing, but It is a matter of a few weeks until the entire forty will be dropping, says the Angels Camp Record. Mill Pounds Ore The ten-stamp mill at the Los An geles mine, on the Tuolumne river be low the Mohican mine, near Groveland, Cal., started and is running without a hitch. It is using the Johnston van ners. The sulphurets assay $250 per ton, while the plates show up well. This mine was located by Joslah Phillips, who sold it to a Los Angeleß company. Five more stamps are on the ground and will be Immediately installed. Pounda of Gold S. A. J. Eckels, who is In Redding, says that in the Fairvlew mine there are 150 men on the payroll of the com pany. With thirty-five stamps drop ping, in a three-weeks' run the clean up was a 60-pound brick, Mr. Eckels said. The mill and equipment of the prop, erty are a model and great hopes are entertained of what the lower level will disclose. If favorable, Mr. Eckels says the Fairvlew will be easily a million dollar mine. Charles Allenburg, who was one of the owners of the property ; Is noW on the ground and wfts the original owner of the Altoona quicksilver mine, also In Trinity county, and a famous producer In its best days. De Lamar in Death Valley In mining cliik h the fact Is reported that the development of the Keane Wonder mine In Death Valley above M.-illiiHi, being worked by J. R. Pc Lamar under a bond is being done by two prospect tunnels, 115 feet apart. These two tunnels, one above and one below the vein, are being run with the Intention to sink and raise respectively and tap the vein.

Blod g*tt of fiake.mfletd nre elated .over ;i shipment, of ore from the ('owboy mine In the Amelia district of Kern county. This Is hnne.fi' on the Information thnt J. E, Miller hns returned from San Fraticlßeo, whither, he went with a car load of ore taken from the mine, j The net weight Of the ore was 67,267 poundn find It yielded $4728.85 in silver and $456,95 In gold. Expenses deducted, tlio car netted $4739.95. The CWboy mine Is Ohe of the older of the mines In ths Amelia dtntrict and it has now a big ledge of rich ore In Bight. It Is of In terest to know that this carload Of ore haa been taken from the mine since January 16 with a working force of six men, and since the shipment was made another half car has been mined. Good Items Bunched Joe Gronson, one of the owners of the Yellow King group of gold mines on the upper Virgin river In Nevada, reports having struck a vein four feet wide of high grade free gold ore. He has taken out several tons of this ore and crushed some of it In an arrastra, aver' aging $20 daily as a reult of his work. An Important strike Is reported at a point twelve miles north of Kawlch. a strong ledge having been uncovered which shows values as high as $90 and $100. At the Longfellow the miners are sinking and drifting and good ore is being taken to the mill, which gladdens the hearts of the workers, as most of the men employed are stockholders In the mine. Two years ago when the men were working- for $2 a day In money and $1 in stock many called them fools, says the Groveland (Cal.) Prospector, but now that the mine is paying divi dends opinion has changed and they are called lucky. Le Peron copper mine at Red Cap, Humboldt county, has been opened by extending the tunnel this winter, and now shows more promisingly than ever. The ledge runs, It is said, generally 25 to 33 per cent. '^ Recently Morris Collins of Indian Creek, Trinity county, commenced work on a prospect that showed a small stringer of rjuartz. Collins opened It for 150 feet on the surface and found a ledge running from eight inches to two feet in width and averaging $16 to $20 a ton. There . are 100 tons of ore fn sight. The Oregon group In Arizona has been leased and bonded to Tombstone par ties,, who have started a drift to cut the ledge under the old shaft. The last assays from an average of the vein g-ave 14 per cent copper, ten ounces in sliver, $3 In gold and 8 per cent in lead. A second body of ore has been struck on the Derm-Arizona and there Is little question now but that this property will prove to be one of the best mines ever opened in the Blsbee quadrangle. The strike was made at the depth of about 1000 feet, and the drill Is boring through a body of sulphide ore. The official flgures of copper produc tion of the United Verde Copper com pany for the year ending December 1, 1904, are 30,750,000 pounds of refined cop per. Included In this output Is 1,150,000 pounds from the Equator mines. The Elko Free Press represents that a new vein has been encountered In the Greenback mine, near Mountain" City, Nev., which assays from $400 to $2100 in gold. / The Lost Gem mine at Osceola, Nev., in which recently a rich strike was made, bids fair to become one of the best gold producers tn that state. Work on the mine has been pushed and the splendid showing when the ledge was first encountered has Improved. A thlrty-flve-foot drift has been run at the fifty-foot level, and the ore aver ages more than $150 a ton. The total output of the North Star mine near Grass Valley, Cal. (not in cluding: Gold Hill), during 1904 was 47,447 tons of ore, yielding $773,215.81 ($16,296 per ton), coating for rill operat ing expenses $313,151.26 ($6.60 per ton), and leaving' an average profit of $9,696 per ton. At the Lappln mine, Deadwood, Trin ity county, the lower tunnel is being rushed. The tunnel Is on the mill level and Is being advanced about three feet a day, and will give 150 feet of stoping ground. At (he bottom of the shaft the vein is three feet wide and will average from $40 a ton upward. As soon as the tunnel is In the mill will be started. COUNTIES CAN ERECT DESERT GUIDE POSTS Legislature Empowers Supervisors to Provide Signs That Lead Proapectora Right Prospectors are Jubilant that In fu ture more attention will be given to the getting of guide posts In the desert sections of the southern counties. This has become possible through the enact ment of special legislation by a bill prepared by Btate Mineralogist it. K. Aubury and Introduced ' by Assembly* man Dorsey of Kern county.

A deal that was pending for several months was consummated within the past week, whereby the entire capital Stock of the Bully Hill Copper Mining and Smelting company, owned by Capt. J. R. De La Mar, the multt-mllllonalr* mining operator, was sold by him to a syndicate , of capitalists of Detroit. Mich,, for a sum thnt ranges from $1,000,000 to $2,500,000. The Itedding Free Press, In speaking of 1 the deal, says that the purchasing company Is the Oeneral Electric com pany of Schenectady, N. Y. The pur chasing price Is an even $1,000,000, says that paper, and the Oeneral Klectrlo company Is the corporation that ha* held a bond on the mine and plant for some time. That company's engineer Mr. McKenile, has been over the prop erty and made two examinations, the result of which is said to be entirely satisfactory. The General Electric com pany is the largest electrical manufac turing concern on this continent and one of the greatest consumers of copper tn the world. Thla company, anticipat ing a shortage of oopper supply, or per haps a control of the copper market, has been known to be In the field for the purchase of copper properties for some time. • The company will operute the Mully Hill plant on a larger scale and the deal means much for Shasta county. in riIHH A <<ll (1H IM ONE DAT L'ra AfUuw' irhli.MoM Uuugli lUlhiii Fr««erlb«d by th* beat pbyaleUnt for Conaht, .

The ruffed grouse Is one of the uncertain birds to which ho hard and fast - ruled will apply, yet he has a few small pecu liarities of which advantage may be .taken. In wild, heavy woodland, his original hauntr he haa a weakness for two things^— an old tote road,' or any seldom used road, and the bank of a. stream. A man trying a bit of woods with which he Is unacquainted will probably see more grouse near an old road than anywhere else. In hilly . country the lower slopes of the ravines are apt to bo the best of ground. In level country the of standing timber are Ideal places, and If the thicket happens to mark the edge of a clover field do much the better. Never pass even a small thicket which stands out in a clover Held with a wood upon any ulile. Grouse are fond of clover, and until winter sets In are apt to be in any fair shelter near the field. Later, In snowtlme, th« borders and Interior of large* woodlana swamps are the chosen places. If there be a region ot thick, low-lying forest, having! olose-grown beech ridges here and there. thes6 surely will repay "the labor of beating strongholds of all the railed grouse of the neighborhood. Old windfalls and slashings are Rood, because they afford acres of the sort of shelter the birds prefer In .. cold weather. Should a slngJe bird flush, proceed warily and ready fbr Instant action, ' for ' a Second, and perhaps three or tour ' Btrsg* glers, may be within gunshot, of the spot. Ground good for, one bird may be as at tractive to three or four, although each.in dividual remains some slight distance from the others. When beating b'drder thicket* with a comrade I prefer to work In the cover about along the line where thicket and forest Join. Most men will choose the outside, but ruffed grouse almost Invariably dash for the wood, hence across the line of tlrn of the Inside nun. Such Miots are none too easy, and trees have a knack of get ting in the way, yet as a general thing the Inside position means the most fun. ■ An Indication of the degree of humidity of the atmosphere Is found by a Paris meteorolo glst In the state of the pavements. When these remain muddy there will W no Imme diate change In the weather, but a Changs is Indicated when they begin to dry. . .■..»■; Who would o*ehange th« merry noisft erf children at play, wltli the childless home trhere tho clock tick can be heard hour . after hour In the dull sllencfl?
