Ardmore, l. T., Feb. -, 1900.
Hon. John S. Hammer,
Ard more, l. T.
SHIN the matter of your
contest in which you claim the
right and title to certain tracts
of the tribal lands of the Chicka-
saw and Choctaw Indians, and
purporting to claim the improve
ments thereon, in the town of
Ardmore, Chickasaw Nation, In
dian Territory, will state that it
is the opinion of the Townsite
Commission that we have no
power under the law to hear and
determine matters in controver-
So, except over ownership of i'm
provements. Where two or more
persons claim the same house,
we are authorized by law to take
testimony and determine the
lawful owner of the building, in
order that the ground upo1
which said building is located
may be appraised to the rightfu
owner.
AS your petition shows tina
the claim and subject matter Sc
up by you all grows out of thu
right and title, and from traffi,
in said lands, we are of the opin
ion that it comes under that sec
tion of the Atoka Agreement
which is ratified by act of con
gress, approved June, %, 1898
which reads as follows:
''It is further agreed that tn
United States court now exist
ling, or that may hereafter b
ereatedj in the Indian Territory
shall have exclusive jurisdiction
of all controversies growing ou
of the titles, ownership, occupa
ton, possession or use of real es
tate, X X ~

when persons have bona fid
built and own permanent, valua
bic and substantial improve
ments upon lands, in which the.
are in peaceful possession, tha
said parties are alone entitled t
receive notice of appraisemen
to purchase said lands.
Your petition fails to alleg
ownership of the Improvement
upon the lands described there
in, except by conveyance an
traffic of whatever right, if any
that certain individuals may hav
possessed in said lands; there
fore the Commission is of tn
opinion that no cause of action
over which we have jurisdiction
has been stated, and your case i
hereby dismissed.
| However, under the law ant
instructions, you have the righ
to appeal within 10 days from
the receipt of this notice to tn
Honorable Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, Washington, D. c
Said appeal must be througl

Development is Not Being Ne
elected in Butte.
GREEN MOUNTAIN SHAFT
It is the Deepest in the District
Large Ore Reserves in the
Boston & Montana.

Notwithstanding the act that Butte
Is now producing more copper ore than
at any previous period in it's history the
work of development is not being neg
lected. Shaft development is in progress
at nearly all of the mines of the Ana
conda company, the Green Mountain
with its 2,20O-shaft being the deepest in
the district. This shaft is now draining
nearly all Of the surrounding miUes and
makes the work of ore EXTRACTOR much
easier for the mines 50 drained.
At the Boston 4 Montana mines the
work Of development is kept up and
large ore reserves are blocked, out. At
the Mountain View shaft the station has
been cut at the 1000 and prosecuting
to the lead is in progress. The ship
ments Of ore from this mine to the Great
FAILS smelter now aggregate about 500
0 daily.
The station at the 1.OO0-foot level Of the
Stewart, one Of w. "a. Clark's proper
ties, has been cut and the crosScut il
now nearing the ore body. It is expect
ed h 9 when all the improvements are
completed att his mine the output will
average about 700 tons daily.
The Original mine, another of w. A.
Clark's properties, adjoining the Gagnon
has now reached a depth of 1000 feet.
The old incline shaft is used as a pump
shaft while the new vertical two-com-
partment shaft in which are. a skin and
a cage, is used for .hoisting purposes. The
production from this mine is at present
about 800 tons per day.

THE COPPER MARKET.

Engineering and Mining journal: Cop.
per ID practically entirely unchanged
from what we reported 1t to be in our
last number. Things continue quiet but
steady. Consumption, we understand.
both here and abroad keeps up very well
and does not as yet admit of any accunm-
ulation of supplies. About the middle Of
the week q rumor was being diligently
circulated to the effect that the Calumet
had made a sale at 16c.. but after thor
ough investigation it was found to be
lacking in truth. Prices are as follows:
Lake. 16A@16hc.; electrolytic in cakes,
bars or ingots, 1855 @ electrolytic
copper in catholics. 15h @15Mc., and cast
Ing copper nominal at 16% @15hc.
In London, the market on Monday
opened firm at E70 1Os., and has since
gradually advanced to Ell lis. Cd. for
spot, closing to-day at Ell 15s. @E71 It's.
cd. for spot, and Ell Is. Cd. lower for1three

THE FUTURE OF COPPER.

OF the present and future of the COP
per market the New England Statist
says:
The organization of the United States
Metal Selling company with it's director
ate made up Of the officials of the Anal
gamated Copper company and their
trusted advisers is taken in copper circles
as equivalent to an announcement that
the market for the metal will in the fu-
ture be maintained at as high a level as
the business conditions Of the country
Will warrant. 1t lis very apparent tina
the control of the market in the manner
which this combination suggests will
make possible a degree of steadiness in
prices that. ever If supplies are never
cornered, will operate largely to the ben.
eft of the producing interests.
The future of the copper market de-
Ponds more largely upon the condition
of general business the world over than
on everything else. If business contin-
ues good the consumption of copper will
undoubtedly continue to lead the supply
and higher prices will therefore be in
evitable. On the other hand a large de-
crease in general business will have a
tendency to reduce the consu1np tion Of
copper and lower prices will naturally
follow.
There is one possibility, however, that
may operate to hold up copper prices,
even If there is a reaction from the high
standard of business prosperity at pres
emit being enjoyed. 1t is the more gem
eral adoption of electricity as a motive
power. The past year has witnessed a
very decided movement to supplant
steam with electric power, but SO far it
has been confined entirely to short lines.
The excellent opportunity offered to
nearly all railroads to generate electricity
by the water power ON the rivers along
their lines, is already being considered
by competent engineers and should an
cvfnnCiUa n1nyyGnoonf IN po.,o 49, IT.
trunk lines by electrical power be started
It would mark the dawnting Of the cop
per age.
One of the best informed copper men
IN this country says that the proposition
to substitute aluminium for copper is
merely a ghost raised to Brighten .specu-
'lators n that it will soon fade away,
never to return.
