MINING, MARKETS AND METAL The Trading Last Night Trended Toward High er Priced Stocks. BETTER SPIRIT ON FLOOR Eastern Trading During Day Was Satisfactory—Coppers Well Sup ported on the Boston Market. There was good movement of the higher priced stocks on the local ex change last night. Trading was more spirited than on Wednesday and the general lone of things better, though fractional declines from Wednesday occurred with a good many of the locals. Cumberland Ely made a gain to $5.75 in the eastern trading. Neva da Consolidated and Giroux held their own. Boston dispatches told of con ditions in yesterday’s trading which were very satisfactory, the coppers in that market being well supported. East night’s quotations on the local exchange were as follows: Bid. Asked. A. N. M. & P.15 . 18 Bh. Phoenix.03 .04 Bh. G. Treas. .05 Btitte Ely . 1.10 1.20 Boston Ely. 1.10 1.15 Bray M.

WALKER'S VIEW OF COPPER SITUATION Thinks Metal Is Fixed for Around 15 Cents for Some Time to Come— Cut in Production. George Walker says in his weekly copper letter in the Boston Commer cial received here yesterday: “Cop per prices rehounded very quickly from the low level of, 12 cents, reach ed a week or ten days ago. Lake is now selling at 15 to 15% cents, and electrolytic at 14% to 15 cents. There has been very general and heavy buying, but chiefly by foreign consumers. Domestic manufacturers have continue to buy very sparingly. They are now in the market, how ever, looking for some of the bar gains which they allowed-to pass un heeded two weeks ago. I estimate that the accumulation of copper in the hands of the world's producers reached a total of 200, 000,000 pounds. This was properly a surplus of about 200,000,000 pounds, ns under normal conditions at least one-third of this total would have ben carried by the consumers who have been carrying practically no copper at all. Approximately 175,000,000 pounds of copper was sold during the month of October, reducing the producers’ surplus stocks more than one-half. The min ing companies had about $20,000, 000 of their working capital tied up in copper. Assuming that, the aver age price at which sales have been made was 12% cents, however, the past month's operations have re leased fully $22,000,000. At least $15,000,000 worth of this copper will go abroad. How much of the recent buying has been for speculation is not known. As practically all of the buying has been for the account of manufactur ers, with those of Germany and China most active, it must be assumed that only a very small portion of the total amount will come back to the mar ket. If it is resold, it will be at higher prices. It is more probable that the foreigners have bought heavily to cover their future require ments, being satisfied that prices were low' enough. The last of the copper produced in Montana, Utah, Arizona and Mexico, previous to the heavy curtailment of production, which began in August, has now reached the market. For at, least three months to come the receipts of copper must be much smaller, for should the producers re sume production to their full capac ity at once, the increased output would not reach distributing centers inside of 90 to 120 days. It is be lieved that consumption should over take production before the end of tjiis three months period. The Amal gamated. Cole-Ryan and Phelps Dodge interests will not resume their full volume of production again I understand, until there are unmis takable signs of a decided improve ment, in business. This should mean that the price of copper will hold around 15 cents per pound for an in definite period.

KIESEL CO., Ogden, Utah, Distributors •) Big Party of Eastern Men Consider Its Prospects Best in Union. PLAN BIG OPERATIONS In Ubehebe District-Think It Great Copper Section, Which May Some Day Compare With Ely. A party of wealthy eastern busi ness men who are stockholders in /,e Ubehebe Copper Mines and Smelter Company, arrived In this city at an early hour this morning from the Ubehebe copper Helds, where they have been inspecting the great copper deposits In that portion of the state, says the Reno Stale Journal. During the trip the men were accompanied by Jack Salsberry, the president of the company, and while there com plete arrangements were made for the construction of an electric stan dard-gutfge railroad from Donnie Claire, on the Goldfield & Bullfrog railroad, to the Ubehebe mines. A corps of engineers is now In the field and the actual work of constructing the line will soon commence. The station of Bonnie Claire, while on the Goldfield & Bullfrog railroad is close to the Clark line, and when the elec tric line is completed lo the Ubehebe mines the mining company will lie able to ship to smelters over both the Clark and Brock roads. Those in the parly now in Reno are: H. G. Merry, vice-president and consulting engineer of the company, from Baltimore; Edwin Thomas of Catasaqua, Pcnn.;T. P. Beard of Baltimore, Dr. T. A. Ashby of Balti more, Carl Harrington of Balti more, Henry C. Off of Philadelphia, Dr. Henry .1. Off of Philadelphia, W. B. Allen of Norfolk, Va., James T. Robertson of Cumberland, Joseph H. Hitchens of Frost burg. Md.. Captain Nathaniel Hibbert of Basis City, Va., Walter I). Young of Baltimore, R. H. McBride of Toronto, Can.,E. G. Herons of Covington, Ky., and A. B. McCornick of Baltimore. Jack Sals berry, president of the company, was with the eastern capitalists in the southern country, lint left them a( Goldfield. These gentlemen are all heavily interested in the Ubehebe district, w'hich they believe is among the largest deposits of copper in Nevada, and expect that some day it will com pare with the copper field of Ely, wflieh is today according to develop ment the greatest copper district in the west. In speaking of the Ubehebe dis trict this morning Mr. Merry, who is vice-president of the company, said: “We have more than 1000 acres of copper land in the Ubehebe district, and have a ledge that will average more than fifty feet in width, for a distance of more than 800 yards. This ledge gives values averaging 25 per cent in copper, $V2 in gold and several ounces In silver. We have millions of tons in sight and have plenty of water and wood to operate a large smelter. “The Bishop power line runs close to the mines and with the power from this line we will be able to operate the electric railroad we are now' having surveyed from the mines to Bonnie Claire. “We now have a large force of men working at the mines and intend to develop them and take out the ore as rapidly as possible and will soon begin the erection of an immense smelter. ■ Ubehebe will in the not far distant future be considered the greatest copper district in the whole west and will do much to make the resources of Nevada more substan tial than they are even at the present time.’’ While in the city the eastern cap italists were entertained at the Elks club by George Turrittin, and in speaking of Nevada said that they believed tills state to he one of the most prosperous at present and with better prospects Ilian any other slate in the union. MONTHLY OUTPUT $(10,000. Nevada Hills Mining Company Show ing Up Well—Opens Into Sulphide. That the Nevada Hills Mining com pany Is destined to become one of toe most spectacular . producers that tlio world has ever known is the opinion of James II. Davis, who is heavily in terested in the property and who has just returned to Goldfield from an in spection trip through tne Kai.-viow and Wonder districts. He roporca t< the Goldfield Review: “The monthly' output is now not less than $00,000 and will shortly be Increased, as there is no longer any congestion either in the bins or In lie mire workings There are be tween twenty and thirty Vug freight teams engaged in bringing in sup plies and hauling out ore, and they are able to handle the situation at present, although a railroad is badly needed and will be built next spring either by the Southern Pacific com pany or by the Nevada Hills Mining company itself. “A new strike has been made in the No. 1 crosscut tunnel at a point "20 feet from the surface. Here a largo body of sulphide ores has been encountered. This Is the first sul phide to speak of that has been found in the mine, for the ores on the up per level are all oxidized. The new find prove:, beyond all doubt that the ores are permanent and that the ledge extends to great depth.’’ The Ely bakery and cafe and also Royal cafe were declared unfair af a regular meeting of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes union, since the above named places employ non union help.
