The Copper Situation.

the following regarding the copper situation
up to the sixth inst:
Copper is exceeding in buoyancy the
widest hopes OF the most sanguine bulls.
All the large lake companies have sold
their entire product for November, and
many of them have also sold out for De-
cember, while spot copper is almost unob
tainable. As a result the lake companies
held u Meeting and decided to advance the
price to LIZ cents, and there is no doubt
whatever that it can be easily maintained.
Large manufacturers admit universally
that consumption at the present time is
larger than it has ever been before in the
history OF the trade. Bankers copper is
held entirely out OF the market and there
seems to be no special outlook for it's be-
coming q disturbing element. Casting
brands have not advanced in proportion,
but nothing can be had below 10Y, while
10y and II cents are easily obtainable for
the best brands. A speculation has also
been.in progress in theLondon market. aud

The rumors concerning the strike in the
Volunteer. which have been current during
the last few days have nov been confirmed.
Very little information could be cleaned at
the mine, however, but judging from the pile
of iumhsr on the dump for the purpose OF
building ore bins q real strike has been
made. The bins win be built on the west
side Of the dump. An air Of mystery sur
rounds every movement at the pro. erty,
but knowing ones state that q surprise
concerning the strike win be sprung on the
speculative public within the next few
days. The stock. which about ten days
ago was selling at = and 8 cents q share, is
now L: ing held at 20 cents. with very little
on the market 1t that price. Mike Car
roll, superintendent Of the Anaconda, went
down into the Volunteer q few days ago
and took . sample from across the lace OF
the ledge. The sample taken by Mr.. Carroll
assayed 20 ounces silver and 81 In gold.
Other assays taken from the ledge ran as
high as $50 ounces silver. Mr.. Carroll
holds some OF the stock, 1t is said, and 10
well pleased with the outlook. After the
ore bins are completed the ore will be
hoisted to the surface and shipped.

From Billy Harris, who was in the city
yesterday after a pump for the Harris &
Go. Fraction, which is located south of the
Harris. Lloyd tunnel. it was learned that
sinking in the shaft would be resumed some
time this week. The shaft was a few weeks
ago finished to a depth of 100 feet and a
crosscut run to tap the ledge. When the
vein was cut it was found that, although it
contained some good ore, another 100 feet
should be added to the shaft and the ledge
tapped below. At a depth of 200 feet the
vein, in all probability, will be more COM
pact than it il at the 100.foot crosscut.
