12 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 1907- Ijj I WHS Ml MAKE I Company Producing Now at Rate J, of Only Six Cents Per H Pound. I SAMUEL NBWHOUSK Is BACK FROM MINE Ii December Will Be Reeord- Breaking Monlii for This Copper Mine, j Ttoiu all appearances, to Utah's Jong ( list of mining- organizations tlitit can I produco coppor at a splendid profit, in f spito of Iho present low level of tho ' xcd metal, another cheap eoppcr pro- t dncer had been added by the perform ances of tho Newhouso mine oC Beaver lr county. As stated a few days ago in ihesi colnmna, this month will bo the f banner month of this season for I ho F Newhouso compuuy, both as to amount f of ore sent out and grade of same. BiV- President oninuol jNcwhonse, who via ited tho property with General Man- x ager "Lafayctto llanchett. Friday', ro- j; turned Saturday morning, and staled I, that during1 December tho company will jjij havo sect out seventy cars of ore. IV Of this splendid list of ara, fully L fifty are high grade that is, copper v oro that will hover close to. if not bct- I ' tor than, 20 per cent red motal. And ; equally significant is tho statemont of 2d'r. Isowhoufo to tho effect that tho company has produced this copper at IB .' the very low rate of 6 cents per pound. This will mean a very largo month's J earnings for the Nowhouso company A but it is hardly a just illustration ot A what the mine is capable of doing witli R fivexytliiug centered on real shipments. ' Tho mino right now is capable of ship- j ping four times tho number of cars i that havo been sont our. this month. , But -snoh an era belongs to the not far l . distant future. I I This was ifr. Ncwhouso's first visit Hfg to tho properly in several months, and Ks" i lie expressed yesterday tho utmost grati- flE 1 ficatiou at tho prosont ph.ysical coudi- Hl , iion of the same. II SUIT AGAINST SMELTER ! ' AT GARFIELD FEARED I In m a great many Salt Lake offices of mining companies tho fear is openly ! expressed that tho Garfield smelter company is about to be treated to a j baptism of fire from the farmers of tho ! Salt Lako vaJIcy. Not that anyone I fears that this new copper smelter is doing any damago to surrounding farms, but it is feared that tho farm ; crs, flush with victory in their fight j against the Murra' and Bingham Juuc- ! tion plants, and scenting fresh ready 1 jnonej' ac hand, may nc.vt turn thefr 1 intention io tho Garfield plant for another long and bitter campaign of litigation. Tho Garfield plants always havo been r.onsidored safely immune "from attack f on tho part of tho valley farmers. The fiito was carefully selected, with a view K to prevailing winds, while thousands of acres of adjoining land were pur chased. The plant itself was con structed along lines of modern scienti fic knowledge, each invention known to be suficesaful for tho purpose in hand i was " installed to prevent the escape of injurious gases and solids to the 't outer atmosphere. In spite of theso U , considerations, however, local circles I ' fear that the attempt will bo made to test the efficacy of these plaus. f Officials of tho Gariield companv l Lavo hooted at tho very mention o"f I any tronblo at this new smelter, but fearful ones realize that the efforts of the farmers two years ago wero mot with ridicule and bravo assortions that I I bad to givo way before the edict of , """ tho courts. Cautious persons are ad- Ivocafing a preparedness and concen tration of effort to frustrate tho re ported plans of tho farmers, for it is wk pointed out that tho boast has been ,jjfl made on moro than one occasion that M ' with the first suit out of tho way, the V farmers will brighten up their gun 1 barrels for another battle. I,TINTIC NOW MERELY SHELL OF REAL SELF Tho fear is provalcnt in local cir cles that tho Tintic district will be tho next Utah camp to oaso up like Park City. No ono knows at this time if Tintic mine owners will follow the example of others in the State who are unwilling to give away their as sets under existing metal conditions, but Tintic already is a severe sufferer from conditions. Last week the camp sent out only seventy-eight cars of ore, its normal shipment being one hun dred and twenty-five to one hundrod and thirty-five cars a week. Of this sev f enty-oight cars last week, the Centennial L Eureka company sent out thirty-eight. r leaving a mere thirty cars for other companies. The Lower Mammoth, BTJnclo Sam. Consolidated, Graritl Cen tral, Victoria, and others, are complete' ly absent from last week's list, while such old producers like tho Beck Tun nel, Colorado, Yankee and others are Bending out a more tithe of their usual shipments.

James A Pollock k Co., bankers and brokers, furnish the following, received over their private wire yesterday after noon: Boston wires Get It from what I con sider the very beat authority that the Calumet and Hccla people within ft Tew days will make sales of lako copper at 14c, and that sales have been made by the United Metals Selling company today at 12Jc. I also understand that Calumet and Hccla, Copper Range, and other lake properties have got very llttlo metal on hand. Whatever metal there Is seems to be In the hands of the selling companies and they have now reduced .their holdings to such" an extent that they 'are not dis posed to fill largo orders very freely, on tho other hand, the president of a com pany which Is conslderod one of tho larg est consumers of metal3 In the country Is In Boston today and reported to havo talked very pessimistically about the motal situation. It is well known, how ever, that this company has not made tho purchases for future consumption. In fact, lias only a limited supply on hand. Boston News Bureau Thomas F. Cole tells his friends that he believes copper will reach a price of 20 cents per pound in 190S. primarily as a result of the re striction In production which is now tak ing place all over tho country. Ho says that a 12Jj)13c market for coppor has shut down tho small properties In all sections of tho country and that he considers it absurd for any large property that can not show substantial profits on 12-cent copper to deplete its reserves and glvo away Its assets, when by stopping produc tion It can conserve Hb copper asbets for a hlghor metal market. He takes the position that American consumors are bo short on stocks that they arc actually sweeping up the floors to gather tho fil ings, and that if cosumers figure upon getting copper at below cost to many of tho producers they will bo very much mistaken.

EMPLOYEES TRY 10 FIX SMELTER TROUBLE Utah Consolidated Boys and Murray Officials Seek io End Deadlock; Since tho Utah Consolidated company and tho committeo of farmers havo been unable to reach Bomo agreement by which the Utah Consolidated smel ter can bo continued for another yonr, and since tho business men of Salt Lako seem willing to allow the smellers to slip from out this valley without, turning a hand to keep thorn" hero, tho city officials of Murray, and tho em ployees of tho Utah Consolidated com pany, arc now working hand in hand towards somo settlement of tho pres ent difficulties. Murray socs that with tho closing down of tho smelter for a year and evermore thorcaftor will come stagnation to its businoHB bouses, and oven to tho complaining farmers them selves, whilo tho omployoes of the corn pain see the loss of their positions star lug thcm in the face, with an extremely hard winter ahead. It can bo slatod definitely that tho Utah Consolidated compa.ny itself is not behind this new venture. It Jb under stood that permission was sought and gained by, the employees to make tho attempt, the company standing ready to take up the matter when conditions reach a stugo whero the company can do so. A committee of employees camo up from Murray Saturday and proceeded at once to business. It is not known what tho committee accomplished, but as far as could be learned tho com mitteo of f armors had not been ap proached Saturday.

IS GOINGJO DEPTH Bingham Amalgamated Com pany Is Securing Good Depth on Big Chute. VALUES INCREASE ON THE LOWER LEVELS Three-Sixty Level Opening Up Body Now Averaging 14 Per Cent. "The Bingham Amalgamated Coppor company has ono of tho largest and richest copper oro bodies in all tho Bingham district," stated Gcnoral Man ager .Too Edmonds Saturday. Mr. Ed munds had just roturncd from an in spection of this largo Bingham group, nnd ho was delighted with tho manner in which the resources are being brought to light. Regarding conditions at pres ent, ho said to Tho Tribune: "On tho -300-foot level of tho Amal gamated gToup somo tirao ago wo de veloped an ore body 60 by 60 foot in extent, tho averago value of tho ivholo body being 1.5 per cent copper, $1.20 gold and two ounces silver to tho ton. Intermingled with this chuto were rich streaks and bunchos of copper rock whoso metallic contents ran up to enor mous levels. Isor has tho real extent of this body been definitely determined yet, for we ceutored all our energies on getting a bottor vertical dopth on the same. " Whilo at the mino a day or two ago wo had driven au upraise in tho same chuto for some distance from the 300 foot level tho unraiso being five and a half feot in width, and with not only this much all oro, but tho bottom, top and sides wore oro of similar character. This (lvo and a half, feet of oro gavo mo an average assay of 14 por cent copper, $1.60 gold anil 31 per eout iron. Wo aro now working on tho 400-foot level, making for the samo oro bodj', and ovcrything points with dead cer tainty to tho fact that wo will find it at tho logical point. "Tho nig shaft will be continued on ' down, and our plan of demonstrating tho continuity of tho ore bodies will bo strictly 'followed out aa tho levels aro gainecf in their turn. From the work already accomplished, and from the gnu oral physical conditions of the group taken in connection with what we havo learned in timo gone by, T havo no hosi tancv in stating that tho Bingham Amalgamated is ono of the great mines of Bingham, and we havo ono of tho largest mineralized group in all the camp. "Wo will make tho finest kind of historv for Binerhnm in this mine." New York Mining Stocks. ' James A.

Stato Bullion Tax Collector James H. Xcvin or tho Stato of Nevada, has just issued his report on the taxes col lected during tho first nino months of tho current year. By this report it is sh own that the camp of Goldfiold alone ivill pay to the State tho sum of .t-197.S10.33. Tho tax is based on the net amount of ores shipped, and tho rato of taxation is -1.7 per eout. Tho Stato of Novada gels three-fourths of ono per cent of tho tax, Tvhilc tho bal anco goes to the county in which tho property taxod is located. Mr. Novin predicts that tho gross value of the gold and silver production in Nevada for 1907 will bc $2;V)00. 000. This will provo a genuinely sur prising record when tho number of weeks lost by labor strikes all over the State, nnd the present unbearablo smelting conditions, aro taken into considera tion. Air. Nevin expocts Goldfiold to produco half of the output of gold dur . mg 1007, while in 1008 he predicts this ono camp will produco over $25,-000,000.
