GENERAL OTIS REPORT.
Pays a Merited Compliment to Troops
Stationed in Utah.

Denver, Oct. 2s.-The annual report
of Erigadier General Elwen S. Otis
commanding the department of the
Colorado. has just been submitted to
the secretary of war. The report in
cludes reports of officers in charge OF
the various staff departments.
General Otis reports having visited
Forts Douglas. DucheSne, Grant. Hua-
chuca and Logan At all these posts
he found the organization we'll instruct
ed and efficient and observed in mum
Der of instances a marked proficiency
in a knowledge of drill regulations. He
also noted experiences in athletic eXer-
cises.
The general health of the troops has
been good. Their conduct. measured
by the trials, punishmentS and deSer-
tons. has been measurably satisfac-
tory, The percentage of desertion &c
mean enlisted strength, which for 1896
was S.93. was for the year ending in
June, 3.5S.
The generals observations lead him
to believe there is need for an efficient
garrison at some railroad point in New
Mexico. which will admit of speedy
communication with ali impJ b.
places along and contiguous to the rail
way lines of travel, AID that the posts
of Fort Wingate and Whipple barracks
should have increased garrisons or o.
abandoned The numerical strength OF
the command is 1896.

The old Honorine. Of which the Black
Diamond is an extension. is the Edest

THE DEMAND FOR COPPER.
Gold May Be King, But Copper Is
Leading the Band Wagon.

Gold may be king in the list of pre-
cious metals al the present time but
copper leads the band wagon, all the
same and there is more inquiry for the
latter commodity in the metal market
and in investment circles than there is
for the former
This can be accounted for by reason
OF the increased use Of copper in cleo
trical and other lines Of business. and
the man who can show uD q bonahde
copper proposition is more sought for
than is the individual who has a string
Of gold propositions for his customers.
and this accounts for the recent actiV-
ity in the search for copper mines, and
as a result nearly everything in this
line that is offered, even though it be
nothing more than a prospect. is being
most rtgidly and carefully examined.
In Utah there are g number Of dis
tricts that are claiming attention of
the agents Of companies and syndicates
Who are in the market for copper.
Bingham, of course, being near at hand,
and within such easy access of the
markets of the world. is the subject of
an exhaustive examination, and the
fact thai in the Highland Boy an I'm
mense zone OF copper ore has been DIS
closed Of late is adding zeSt and inter-
est 10 the search and inquiry for cop
per mines in that section of the eoun-
try.
Beaver Lake also is receiving a great
deal of attention in this direction, and
although the amount of development
there has been limited, the surface
showing IS such as 10 justify the belief
that in time and as DEVELOPMENT work
progresses some of the largest copper
producers in the west viii be found
there, and as several local companies
are DOING considerable work in the dis
trict. and with most gratifying success,
it can be only q question Of time before
the mines Of the camp viii rank as
heavy shippers.
In Rocky district. adjoining Beaver
Lake, the Montreal people are showing
up mountains Of copper ore. There are
other dattering prospects in the dis
trict. and the camp viii eventually be
heard from in no uncertain way as far
as copper is concerned.
In the La Sale mountains. in the
southern portion Of the state. extensive
deposits of copper have been found,
while in many other camps, including
La Plata, there are promising copper
mines. and a year from now there rViu
doubtless be 90 or 100 copper producers
within the boundary lines OF Utah.

WATER IN THE GLADSTONE.
Vein of Rich Looking Ore Disclosed

The water has been coming in so fast
that all the other work had To % SuS-

10000 gallons per day is being taken

few days ago. that appears to contain
considerable cinnabar. and in some
places there appears to be traces of

the arsenical ore in the Golden Gate.

MERcUR RECORDS ADVANCE.
Considerable Interest Centered
Mammoth and Chloride Point.

The tone Of the mining stock market
yesterday was somewhat hrmer than it
has been for some time past, and the
fluctuations Of the various gilt-edged
securities were watched with a lSeener
interest than has marked the transac-
lions on the board for the last two
months.
As a general thing it is noticeable
that buyer and seller ara getting in
closer touch with each other. which
would indicate that there WAS more of
a desire to do business than usual.
In the listed stocks yesterday Mer-

Interesting Experience of an indian

No trouble IS more common or more

People having it think that their nerves

Nervous dyspepties often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart paIpitates and is irreg-

in others the bowels are eonstipated,

THE BEAVER LAKE MEETING,
Preliminary Steps Towards the Erec-
ton of Reduction Works.

a large number of enthusiastic stock
holders of the Beaver Lake Copper
company assembled at the office of the
company yesterday TO consider the
question of the erection of reduction
works at the mine. which is located in
Beaver county. this state. and the
meeting was harmonious, the share
holders being impressed with the
thought that by united action the prop
ertY of the company could soon be
placed on a paying basis.
The meeting was called to order by
Manager A. L. Norris, who made q re-
port on the encouraging condition of
the company's mine. and also state
ment to the effect that the deVe .Op-
ment of the same to date and the
amount of ore IL sight would justify
the erection of reduction works on the
ground. provided suitable process
was demonstrated for the treatment OF
the ore, which, although existing in
large quantities, was not of sufficient
grade to stand freight and smelling
charges.
The subject of the establishment of a
plant at the mine was then generally
discussed, the sentiment of the meet
ing being almost unanimously in favor
of the erection of reduction works at
the mine, and as result of the eX-
change OF ideas on the subject a COM
nittee composed of Q, r, Young, L. H.
Beason. C. B. burst. a. L. Morris and
E. NJ West was appointed to make
experimental tests on the product of
the mine and to determine the best
process for the treatment, the COM
mittee to report as TO its conclusions
at an early day when another meet
ing of the stockholders is to be called
and the report spread before them for
their consideration and approval.
The meeting also authorized the Off
GERS OF the company to offer for sale
large block of the treasury stock of
the incorporation at SO cents a share.
the proceeds of such sales to be used
in the construction of the proposed
works, should the company conclude 10
build, and from expressions obtained
from number Of stockholders pres
ent it is believed that the sum of $1,000
would be forthcoming for inm d T.
use if desired, the same to be secured
by stock.
With the fattering showing at the
mine and the unanimity of feeling pre-
vailing in the ranks of the stockhold-
ers, there is every reason to believe that
this Beaver Lake enterprise VIII even
tuaIIy prove eminentIy successful.
