Fell 600 Feet-Frightful Accident

Yesterday while inspecting some of the mining properties owned by a London syndicate, the foreman and one of the principal stockholders of the concern, fell into shaft 600 feet in depth. Upon examination it was found that in constructing the trestle works and platform covering the mouth of the shaft, some faulty timbers had been used and the main cross-support had lost its anchorage, thus making it unsafe for any one to step upon the platform. The broken timbers and debris were speedily moved and a wind lass put up, and two men descended to the bottom to bring up the mangled remains of the two poor unfortunates. When they had been safely hauled to the surface close examination showed that they would only have to send their suits to Nit Simms to have them cleaned and pressed.

price DO doubt the surplus supply would be bought up in few months. The government cable to the Philippines, and the Honolulu cable, will absorb large amount of the sur plus copper. However, unless the Cal umet and Hecla people aud the Rio Tinto company of Spain, work in har- mouy with the Amalgama.ed company, it seems more than probable that the price will rule lower in this cosntry, but it is improbable that it will ever go to the price now quoted in London un- less the Amalgamated is compelled to turn loose its present holdings, and thus break the market.

STEVENS GROUP SOLD.

Henry Setzer arrived Thursday last from Bridgeport, Conn.,, and formally closed the deal with Stevens brothers for their group of fifteen claims situated about two miles above Metcalf. The consideration has not been made public, but it is known to run up into the pictures" The Stevens brothers, Ike and Charley, and their sister who re- side in Los Angeles, have owned these claims for about twenty years, and as ide from the annual assessment work they have done a considerable amount Of development work, and at times shipped large amounts of rich ore from some of the claims. The claims are well located, and have always had the reputation of being most valuable propertr, but like many other pros- pectors they lacked the means to de- velop them. However, they did the next best thing-huug to them through all sorts of hard times, and are at last well rewarded for their labor. The property has passed into the hands Of a wealthy syndicate. who will soon in corporate company for the extensive development of the property. CommO- dore McNeil, A. F. Albert, and several other wealthy gentlemen of Bridgeport are associated with Mir. Setzer in tho purchase of the property. Mir. Setzer left Monday last for home via San Francisco. The new company expects to commence work by tho first of the year. The company is to be congratu- lated on securing such a compact and valuable mineral estate.
 During the past week copper dropped on the London market to 12i cents per pound, but remained firm in the New York market at the old price. This price was maintained by the Amalga- mated company, which controls the great bulk of the copper in sight, and the chances are that the London market will not be able to hold the price down. The benefit of the Amal- gamated association to the producers of copper is made more apparent by the prices now ruling for the red metal in London and New York. The future of the Calumet X Hecla people is so close ly aligned with that Of the Amalsa- mated association that it would seem that they must make some arrange ments. either by curtailing their out put or by storing their copper to main tain present prices, as it cost them something near London prices to pro- duce it. The copper situation at the present time is beyond the understand ing of the layman. The producers claim that the market is not over stocked, but that manufacturers have been buying from day to day, expect ing the price to drop. In this they are borne out by the fact that the out put for the past two years has decreased in all countries but Arizona, which shows only slight increase, while the demand for copper has largely increas- ed in the United States. The mauu- lecturers claim that there has been a heavy decrease in the consumption of the metal, (which is true in regard to Europe,) while the amount of copper in sight is larger than for many years. If copper in unlimited quantities could be had at the present London

The amount Of tunneling and shaft
work done upon these properties is
about 1000 feet
The high grade ore is in sufficient
quantity as to permit of almost imme-
date and regular shipments in teaching
the low grade ores and at the completion
of which a large teaching plant will be
erected, and the properties of this COM
pany will be among the most valuable
ore producing mines in the southern
part of the country.
A great deal of eastern capital has
been put into western and southern
mines, but the results in many cases
have been unsatisfactory owing to I'M
scrupulous management.
The profits in copper mining are i'm
mensa. Suppose this companys annual
output be $4,000 to 10000 tons of ore
copper, which would make no noticeable
difference to the market, but at the
same time it would show this company
a profit of from $250,000 to 100000 per
year. These are not guess work fig
ures. They are the actual profits of a
company operating upon a scale as
large as this company proposes to.
The results will be watched by many

see how much can be made from a fine
property of this character run in the in
terest of the shareholders and not for
