stronG; |; ;''P Position of Copper.

The rapid rise in tho price of copper
 during the past fswsrwssks is not re-
 markable when the strong Statistical
 petition of the metal sis censidsred,
 John Stanton, statistician for the Amer
 ican producers takes the view that
 higher prices must come and that still
 greater increase of production will be
 necessary to meet growing demands.
 He says:
 While the production of copper ore
 for '98 shows consider able increase
 over thas oiss'o7. and is. by far the
 largest production ever made in this country, the consumption has also been very largs, especially since the close of hostilitiss with Spain. Stocks in Eu- rope, as well as in the United Ststss, at the close of the year, were unusually low, there being practically none in sight. Asa consequence copper has been making very rapid advances, and it has been rather hard to keep track of 1t for the past two wseks or 70. I should say that 10 cents is fair price for copper today, and that representa- tho highest figure reached in many years. Consum ption is 50 large thats it looks, too, as ii q higher figure will bs obtained. ty&
 Tie psculiarity of ceppsr's position is that during the last few years of dc. prsssioR the production has constantly bsen incrsasing, and yet consumption has carried it all .f. European stocks have steadily declined until Aow they have req he'd the lowest point ever known. Tn, electrical industry is . very important factor in the copper business. and its need of copper is growing greater. Wherever railway pr other construction is golny on there is always large demand for copper in the form of brass and q variety o , other articles. And d the electrical advances by leaps and bounds t is no easy matter to tell what quan- 'ity of copper w,ll in thm way bs sb- loIbsd.
 Now that bsttsrment ia businsss generally is being felt, great stimulus ,as been .Kiysn to the opening of new mines and the devslopment of copper >scpertiess It is apparent that tho sx. stlns mines have not capacity to fur iish the quantity that will be hooded . the near future. Companies with !ood prospects of bscoming producers ind that their shares are eagerly ought after, and 1t is the general bs. isf that for some tims to come copper mining will prove proAta ble.

$11. 6S4.50 Daisy kept in the active list
with prices ranging about the same as
Thursday. Daly-West showed some
improvement and exchanged at Sizes.
Geyser- Marion was off while the bears
went after Lower Mammoth and sent
the stock down as low as IS cents.
Grand Central also went tobogganing
and was run down to S9.1212 a share.
Mercur suffered the same fate. Ii
seems evident that no dividend is likely
in the immediate future. The anticipa-
ton of one has kept the price of the
stock up. but now shareholders have
become tired of waiting and are willing
to let go at the reduced figures quoted
yesterday. Petro remained about sta
tionary and the ruling price of South
Swansea was $50 a share.
Midnight Bowers has displayed I'M
usual activity during the past few days
Broker Lowe has gathered in large

Samuel Newhouse has entered Ne
yada, and has just closed up a deal
whereby he comes into possession of the
Blue Bird group of claims, in the Con-
tact district, sixty miles north of Wells
The group consists of six claims, and
ii is stated that General w. II. Pen
rose and associates, who owned the
ground, will receive something like
$1,000 600 for their interests when all pay
pnents are made on the option.
The group is little developed, but a
party who has just come in from the
Contact says the ground has an.excep-
tional showing of high-grade copper
ore, and is worth every cent of what
DIR. Newhouse pays for it.
The property has shaft down 100
feet, aside from open cuts in various
places, made to show the trend of the
vein. Just how wide the veins are has
not been fully determined, as no cross
cuts have been made, but the shaft has
disclosed body of ore that Will aver
age fully 20 per cent copper. Shipments
have been made from the property in
the past, and the returns from the
gsmelters showed it to go considerably
iover 80 per cent, while one lower
grade lot was sent out averaging %
per cent.
Mr.. Newhouse has another deal about
closed up on the Delano group,
which is held under an option by Pat
9falloy, the well known mining man OF
Boise, Ida
The Delano group lies adjoining the
Blue Bird group, and it is said Mr.
Newhouse considers the ground worth
having, and their is little doubt the
Geal will be consummated upon the re-
turn of Mr.. Malloy, who was called to
Idaho few days ago on important

IN FROM VANDERBILT.
a. q. Campbell's Interesting Report
On the New Diggings.


After an absence from the civ since
last November, Allen C. Campbell
came in from his big gold mines near
Vanderbilt. Cal, yesterday and was
busily engaged in greeting his numer-
Gus friends at the Cullen hotel until
late IN the evening. Mr. CampbelTs
vanderbilt property consists Of fifteen
or more claims. which he is fast de-
Veloping into a magnificent gold bo-
nanZa- With the aid of a TWENTY
stamp mill, which he operates fifteen
or twenty days a month, Mr. Campb, II
is making several thousands of doIlars'
worth OF gold bullion every month. The
gentleman says he could easily do
much better in the way of production
II he wanted to. but he is at present
contenting himself with Systematically
developing his splendid property.
IN the Good Springs district, which
IS some fifty miles northwest Of VAN
derbilt, in Nevada, Mr.. Campbell Is
also operating number of promising
properties on a large scale, some of
them already being producers. and
some Of which are now in process of
patenting.
The gentleman is also doing his share
toward the development of the State
line district, which he believes pos
sesses great possibilities.
In the Searchlight district Mr..
Campbell says. a strike was recently
made on property owned by a Boston
crowd, of which Colonel Hopkins is at
the head, that showed $500 in gold to
the ton at a depth OF fifteen feet
Mr.. Campbell says he is satisfied
that the southern part of Nevada and
California, as well as the section which
reaches into Utah, Will soon become
famous in the mining world, as it has
the minerai-gold, copper, silver and
lead Ito back 1t.
on account of the disagreeabIe ;ollr-
ney, Mr.. Campbell left his wife ard
two children behind. The gentleman
expects TO be in the city for several
weeks.

CALIFORNIA FOR HEALTH.
Mild Climate, Rare Medicinal
Springs and Charming Scenery.

There are many conditions of the
body in which a change of environ
ment is far more valuable as a rene
dial agent than all the medicine that
can be prescribed.
California is peculiarly fitted to give
all that nature can give in this direc-
ton. To the newcomer the environ
ment is so strange and so striking that
it claims the undivided attention.
Everywhere and all the time there is
something strange or interesting TO
see.
OF climatic conditions the invalid
has a wide range from which to
choose: In elevation, from about 300
feet below sea level to 5000 or 1000
above: in humidity, from the moist sea
breeZes of the coast to the dry, invig-
Grating air of the inland mountain
ranges; in temperature. from the al
most perpetual summer of the southern
part of the state to the more severe.
though not unpleasant, climate of the
upper Sierras.
In addition to all this, there are nu-
merous mineral springs, many of them
having marked medicinal qualities
which have already won for them a
wide reputation. At some of these san
itariums have been erected. and all the
conveniences Of modern civilization are
at hand.
There. too. one can enjoy a more
healthful and varied diet than is ac-
cessible in any other locality Fresh
fruits and vegetables the year round:
an abundance of wild game, and meats
that are nutritious and highly favored.
A climate where even a delicate per-
son can, with no fear of taking cold,
spend ten of the twelve months in the
open air, needs few accessories in the
work of restoring impaired health or
vitality. Great numbers of semi-inva-
lids already go to California to escape
the cold of the eastern winters. and
find to their constant surprise that a
great part of a California winter is
almost an exact counterpart of the
balmiest days of an eastern spring.

STRIKE IN THE ELAMEGA.
Four-foot Ledge of Gold Ore Opened
In the Tunnel

AS an addition to already favorable
reports from the Park Valley district.
comes the news from Superintendent
William Dix that the tunnel which he
is now prosecuting on the Elamega
company's ground has opened into the
first of series of veins which it is be-
ing run TO tap and that four feet of
good gold ore has been uncovered. The
strike was made less than 100 feet in
and at a vertical depth of something
like seventy-five feet. Mr. Dix stated
in his report of the strike that the ore
washed out by him gave every evidence
that the whole four feet would average
several dollars to the ton. The prop
erty is owned by Z. H. Airs. William
Dix and several other Salt Lakers. It
is understood that the tunnel will be
pushed right along until several other
parallel lodges which traverse the
claims have been encountered.
