we'll pleased with the outlook for
mining in that distant part OF Un-
Gle Sans domain.
The report reaches us that q
copper plant costing $l5O,OOo will
be erected very shortly in some
suitable location to treat the pro-

copper properties Of New Mexico,
including those in the vicinity OF
Hillsboro and Kingston.

interested in mining property. She
is now on her way to visit the lead

better knowledge of mining than
half of those who have spent life-
time in the sierras; and she spins

Chamberlain & Co.'S Review OF
July 3lst says:
Copper has drifted along in the
same unsatisfactory condition to
every one. and all the large lake
com panies even seem to be ignorant
of what the real price Is. 1t Is ru-
mored that lake copper can be had
at lI.75, while others say that ll.9O
is the bottom, and some profess to
be selling at IL cents; SO that any
one is at liberty to consider the
market what he likes. Lead has
drifted along IN the dullest possi-
BILE way and seems to have settled
down into complete rut AT New
York the sales have not exceeded
400 tons at 3. IS, 3 S2s and $50 with
a single sale of of far futures OF
100 tons at $40. At St. Louis, un-
der equally light business. the mar
kst drifted down to $40, and at
Chicago at 8. rs; but the entire body
of consumers are holding out OF
tue market in anticipatlon OF the
treasury decision, y t tie trade 10
general Is getting weary OF tie
delay.
