Paris, June 80, 1900.
Editor Courier: l arrived in Paris

distant, but the people. and surround

buildings need have no fears of being
overtaken in population by any city.

TIT BAMBOO CHIEF.

James Whitaker, who is operating the
Bamboo Chief mine, has closed the mill
for a few days while he makes some
changes in the machinery, says the Alder
Gulch Times. The vanners now in use
are not satisfactory. n Willy tables
will be used as soon as they can be in
stalled. The mill at present saves only
about one-half of the value of the Bam-
boo Chief ore. but ever with this loss of
value the cleanup shows large returns.
Mr.. Whitaker is one of the best millmen
in the west, nj when he gets the mill
ready will resume operations on a larger
SCALE. A small force of men are kept
at work in the mine and are taking out
good ore.
Mr.. Whitaker, last Thursday evening,
shipped 257.3 "a ounces of bullion. the re-
suit of twenty days run on a little over
1873 tons Of ore. In addition to the
bullion shipped he has three and a half
tons of shipping ore and one and a half
tons of concentrates that will average,
net, over 500 per ton.

COPPER ADVANCING.

During the past week copper has shown
an advancing tendency both at home and
abroad. Domestic prices are quotably
firmer and the same is true of London
quotations for both spot and futures, says
the New England Statist.
The closing prices in london Friday
showed an advance of It's. Cd. in spot and
Ell Is. in futures, compared with the
closing of Friday, July 81.
AT home, lake copper closed at 16 1-2c,
compared with 16 1-4@16 3-Sc for the pre-
viOus week; electrolytic closed at Is 1-8c,
compared with 16@16 1-Sc the previous
week, and casting closed at 16c. compared
with Is 7-Sc at the close Of the previous
week.
Several sales of lake copper were made
at 16 1-2c during the week and buyers
were reported as bidding quite freely for
supplies at that figure. The demand
from home consumers and for export was
very good.
Although it is understood hat the Call
umet & Hecla company has made no
combination sales as yet, it is believed
that their sales to regular customers
have been heavy and stocks now on hand
are not large. The Calumet has received
16 1-2c for it's copper
The fact that New York buyers ap-
peared to be quite anxious to make pur-
chases from locally controlled companies
during the week and We're quite willing
to bid Is 1-2c for its metal, would seem
ito indicate a belief in that quarter that
the price of the metal will still further
harden. Those who closely watch de-
yelopments in the market are of the opin-
ion that within a very short time lake
coppe will sell at tic again.
Stocks in consumers hands are light
and will have to be r~eplenished. 1t is be-
lieved that the brass manufacturers will
have a good fall business. If this proves
to be the case, apparently there cannot
be otherwise thana still further increase
this, coupled with the steady demand
from Europe and the fact that available
supplies are not large, would seem to
make a very good argument for higher
quotations.
Those who had looked for a decided
sympathetic slump in the price OF copper
as. a result of the falling out of the bot
tom of the iron and steel market are
gradually coming around to view the
copper situation in a more optimistic
light now that the expected slump has
failed to materialize.
The reason for the comparative steadi-
ness of copper in the face of the demon
~alizat.on of the other metals has to q
large extent lain in the statistical posi-
ton of the metal as compared with 9TH
ers. Whatever increased production there
has been in copper has been met by an
increase in the consumptive demand, and
this has been especially true of the for
eign demand. Then, again, the price of
copper was never even at its highest.
; forced up with anything like the artt-
ficiality which attended the boom IN iron
! and steel. This being the case it is nor
surprising that the metal has displayed
| such a measure of strength as it has.
