• MARKETS, METALS AND MINING USE BLIZZARD IN EFFECTIVE MARKET RAIO Crop damage from blizzards of ex ceptional lateness In the middle west and most unusual range In the south gave the bears an opportunity yester day which was not neglected. Wild ly exaggerated reports of Injury to crops were circulated with telling ef fect and brought startling declines in price of all the stocks, particu larly during the afternoon hours of trading. Night advices from the east Indi cate that the seriousness of storm damage as reported during the day has been discredited and it Is ex pected that trading today will show smart recovery from the depression caused yesterday. Cotton and fruit have unquestion ably suffered severely, but the grains have not been harmed, and it is these that provide the bulk of the rail business and income to the farm ing regions. Giroux was one or the very few that made gain yesterday, closing a trifle higher. All of them should recover today, while Kly Central should Stiffen' under the news the mine is likely to furnish today or to morrow. E. W. HL'LSE * CO. LETTER. ^ The entire market yesterday again looked as If It had served an en gagement with a buzz saw and given the latter a handicap of several revo lutions. Not one of the issues re sponded to tne expected upward move but, on the other hand, many of them took to still lower levels. One of the feature's of the day locally, was reported striking of ore in the Eu reka shaft of the Ely l entral. Exact details of the nature of the strike were not forthcoming last night, al though It was occasion for consider able stir in the district. Just what effect the new strike will have on the market action of the stock Is hard to determine at this time, although we are inclined to believe that there will not be much of an upward swing in the stock owing to the unsettled con dition of the general market. Had the same strike occurred last fall, a marked rise might have been expect ed but it Is doubtful If this will occur under present conditions.

EUREKA SHAFT OF ELI CENTRAL NEARINGITS ORE Important change occurred yester day afternoon In the Eureka shaft of Ely Central, when copper stain and sulphides began to appear. It was learned from the mine that the change was considered very favorable and in line with expectations. What it means is that the shaft is nearing the ore body which was en- j tered by the drill put down from the ; level attained by the shaft before it encountered running ground and was obliged to halt long enough to catch the working up securely. Inquiry of the mine last evening! brought the statement that the shaft at the present rate of progress could i reasonably be expected to enter the I ore within a short time and that the ' present outlook is entirely encourag ing to the beliefs which have been held as to the presence of the ore body at the previously calculated depth. RKl'OKTS ANACONDA MINKS AS IIKTTER THAN IN YKAItS. II. II. Thayer Complete* Inspection of Properties—Talk* of Ore Developments. Benjamin B. Thayer, president of the Anaconda Copper Co., who has been looking over the properties of j that company and those to be mer-1 gcd with it. asserts that the mines! are in better shape than they have; been in years, in an interview given to the Anaconda Standard, Mr. Thayer said: "In the last five years I have not known the mines to look so well as they do now in regard to the ore de velopments. This is especially true of the bottom levels, and holds good with very few exceptions. In the High Ore and Diamond mines of the Anaconda company and the Gagnon mine of the Trenton company the; new ore bodies are not only large in ■ extent, but they carry good values.” ; Mr. i.iayer said that the Gagnon^ mine, which, years ago, was thought 1 to have been practically worked out, | was developing into the biggest cop- l per mine in the Butte district. The ore body which is being developed and mined on the new level, the 2, 300, surpasses, he thinks, anything ever known in the Butte district. Mr. Thayer did not offer details, but his declaration that 'it is the best body ; of ore 1 have ever seen in a Butte mine" means something, when the rich deposits of glance and other high grade ores of the Anaconda, High Ore, North Butte and other mines with which he is familiar are recalled. "In the High Ore and Diamond mines new ore bodies have been opened on some of the old levels from the 1,800 toward the surface, bodies of ore that had never been worked before; new discoveries. This ore is of high grade. "Nothing like it had ever been developed before at the same depth,” said Mr. Thayer. | The Anaconda mine he says, is up to its normal high state, and all other properties look as well as at any time In recent years, withthe ex-| ception of the Parrot, in which no work is being done at present. De- ( velopment work in all the properties is up to the average and the work which had been temporarily sus pended during the engineers' strike, is being pushed as rapidly as former ly. This includes shaft sinking at the Gagnon, Badger State and Bel mont. At the Washoe and Great Falls smelters, Mr. Thayer said, a number of important improvement* are be-' ing made, looking toward great economies. At Great Falls investi gations are also being made prelim inary to an enlargement of the plant. In addition to the satisfaction Mr. Thayer expressed regarding the min ing situation and the condition of the properties, he was especially pleased over the labor situation in Butte. "1 find conditions in Butte in that respect very mucu improved,” he said. “There is a spirit of content ment that 1 had not seen here for several, years." Regarding the copper metal mark et situation Mr. Thayer said: "I be lieve that the present comparative ly low price of copper is due to the fact that the increased production was thrown on the market im mediately after the panic, at a time when consumption amounted to little or nothing. The accumulation is be ing gradually absorbed and that, with the demand for copper in new lines, such as the electrification of western railways, the hydro electri cal installations, the electrification of the eastern terminals, will gradually bring the price of the metal back to a point at which it belongs. The out look is good and improving." WISH AND OiTlKHWIMK. I.ady—“1 want to put In this ad vertisement for a cook. It will go in three lines, won’t it?" Clerk t after counting)—“No, madam.
