MUCH INTEREST
SHOWN IN DAILY
Management Says Favorable In
dications" Show in New Shaft.
GOING DOWN NEAR QUINCY
TESTS BEING MADE ON CON.
MERCUR TAILINGS.

If strike has not already occurred
IN the new shaft being sunk at the
extreme southern limits of the DAILY
Mining company's territory, in Park
City, operators in that camp are GER
tainly looking for it very soon, a fact
evidenced by the rapid climb in the
selling price Of the shares during the
past two days. On Wednesday last
the stock was offered at $1.50 a share
and nobody would touch it. Yesterday
it sold up from $1.7O to $2.021z, and buy
ers were still in evidence when closing
time came.
Manager C. L. Rood was asked
whether or not a strike had been
made. and he cautiously replied that
favorable indications had appeared
in the bottom of the Mazeppa shaft,
which is now down something like
forty feet only. Further than that Mr..
Rood would not commit himself, so fur
Their developments will have TO be
patiently awaited by the investor in
those shares.
For a long time past Manager Rood
has been urging on the directors OF
the company the Importance Of sinking
g shaft 10 develop the southern end of
the ground, and it was not altogether
without protest that he was finally al
lowed to go ahead and carry out his
cherished plan A few weeks ago,
therefore he erected a building and in
stalled a good prospecting hoist at a
point very near the eastern end lines
of the Daly-West's Quincy bonanza
and began operations. That vein
ran through that end of the ground he
was positive, and to determine its
worth he was most anxious
From what can be learned, it seems
quite certain that that vein is at least
on the verge Of being opened. When
it has been explored it will be strange,
indeed, if good ore is not encountered.
If it is, the shareholders can thank
Manager Rood for insisting upon the
privilege to sink that shaft.

Monthly Crop Report.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The weather
bureaus monthly summary Of crop
conditions is as follows:
In the principal winter wheat states
the month averages cold, with more
than the usual amount of precipita-
ton The temperature conditions
were, however, not unfaVOrable to
winter wheat until the last decade,
when the states of the Upper Missis-
sippi and Missouri valleys experienced
temperatures ranging from zero 10 IS
degrees below. During this period the
Ohio valley states were generally well
protected with snow covering. but in
the central Mississippi and lower Mis-
souri, valleys the crop was exposed.
Only slight damage, however, seems to
have resulted, and at the close of the
month the crop appears to be very
promising. Complaints Of injury by
fly are not extensive and are largely
confined to the Ohio valley.

WORK AT NEW YoRK-ToNoPAH.
Entire Property to Be cross-cut at
700 Level.


700 Level.
Before pulling out for the east yes
terday, John Dopp, the Tonopah op-
orator, received advices from camp to
the effect that the shaft of the New
York Tonopah company had reached a
depth OF SIS feet. with the bottom still
in the lode porphyry. A number OF
seams of quartz carry ing greater or less
value have been encountered IN the
porphyry, which was first tapped at a
depth of $40 feet. As depth has been
attained these seams and stringers
have been coming in with greater fire.
Quency and the values have also in
creased. Some of the latest samples
taken have assayed $50 gold and $40
IN silver per ton.
Mr.. DOpp said that when the 700-foot
mark was reached a station would be
cut and prosecuting undertaken. This
depth has been decided upon because
eco feet in the New York shaft CORE
spends with the 500 levels in some of
the other properties with works located
lower down, and because at that depth,
generally speaking the best results
have been so far obtained.
To reach the southern limits of the
company's ground a eross-cut win be
run LOO feet, while to reach the north
side lines a distance Of 400 feet viii be
traversed.
1T is possible" said Mr.. Dopp. that
the shaft viii not drop into a vein in
going down to the 700 level, but we are
confident Of cutting three or four of
them in making the crOss-cuts. The de-
veloped mines to the north of US have
demonstrated beyond question that sew
eraI of the strongest lodges in the camp
are headed our way and there is no
question but what we shall get our
snare Of Them"
The New York company is one of the
best equipped in the camp. and from
the moment the company was organ

YEARS COPPER PRODUCTION.
Was Larger Than in 1eo1-Consump-
ton Greatly Increased.

New York, Jan. according to a re-
port compiled by the New York Metal
Exchange there has been an increase
IN the production of copper for the
year just closed. The figures for 1902
are 293, $50 tons as compared with &c.,
1l6 tons in 1901. Adding the net i'm
portations of foreign copper, the total
for 1902 is $685. ISL tons, as compared
with S2S,002 in 1901. The expectations,
however, have been nearly doubled
In 1902 the total exports of copper
were 16S. 435 tons against 1924 in 1901.
Consumption also Increased, probably
on account of the low prices and it is
estimated that the country consumed
zOS,OOO tons last year compared with
165, 600 in 1901.
Summing up the results OF the year,
the statement shows that the stocks at
the mines, in transportation, at refin-
cries and in warehouses, are estimated
to be 1888 tons at the end of the
year.

lowed by Another Tuesday.
On Friday the new fltering plant at
the Consolidated Mercur made its mi
tial run, but owing to the fact that
George Moore, the inventor of the
machines, had to come to the city yes
terday, nothing is yet known concern
ing the results Tuesday morning
Manager George H. Dern will accom-
pany Mr.. Moore to camp again and
witness another trial run at the plant
and then the experiments viii be con-
tinued to thoroughly demonstrate the
efficiency and economical features Of
the process
AS little has been previously said of
what is being done in this line, it may
be well to explain that when George
Moore undertook to successfully treat
the ores Of the Sunshine he found that
TO get maximum results the shines
would have to be economically filtered.
This he soon found was impossible with
the ordinary filter press, so he went to
work on a press of his own design
one with greater capacity and easier to
handle. His patents secured, he set
about equipping the Sunshine mill with
them, and at the same time offered to
show what could be done with the
tailings at the monster Consolidated
Mercur plant.

EIICTS, HEAVY PENALTY ON
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. GET
DAMAGES.

+ New Orleans, Dec. ia number
of business houses were recently
burned In Dodson. and there were
threats that the entire town would be
destroyed. Peter Warner, Rube
Brown and Ed Warner were sus-
pected Of being implicated in the
fires. A committee decided to pun
ish the suspected men. 1t was di-
vided into three branches, each of
which was authorized to punish one
OF the three suspects. They were
taken to a lonely place in the woods.
beaten, abused, maltreated and
hanged until unconscious. Confess
sions were extorted from them, and
they were ordered to leave. the town.
The jury in the district court
awarded a verdict of $500 damages
to each of the victims and the Louis
lana supreme court yesterday in
creased the amount to $4,000 each.
What particularly incensed the su-
preme court was the fact that the
grand jury Of VIM parish was inves-
tigating the fire when the outrages
were committed. The whitecappers
not only refused to walt it's action,
but actually prevented witnesses who
were summoned by the grand jury
from going before the body taking
the law entirely into their own hands.

BUTLER NEEDS MONEY
FEVER SCOURGE WILL PROBA-
BLY, LAST THRU WINTER
PRACTICALLY WITHOUT FUNDS.

Butler, Pa, Dec. 16.-Typhoid fever
claimed three more victims here yes
terday, making d total of sixty. There
We're five new cases reported. The
relief committee has issued the follow
ing statement: -
The number Of typhoid fever cases
In November was 1923. The, number
Of deaths from typhoid fever was 20.
New cases UP to Dec. 49, ia. Num-
Der of deaths to Dec. 13, 26. Total
number of cases to Dec. IS. 1,254.
Total number of deaths to Dec. 10, 81.
For the past week the average Of
new cases has been IL per day. The
population of Butler and Lyndora, adj
Joining, is $4,000. A conservative es-
innate of those dependent upon daily
wages is $4,000. Typhoid experts and
eminent physicians, who have had
large experience in epidemics of this
character, Insist that we are con-
fronted with a siege that in all human
probability will continue to a greater
or less degree for a period Of from
two to three months from this date,
and that it will involve an expenditure
of from $4,000 to 100000 before the
scourge will be completely eradicated
and the normal condition Of our COM
munity restored.
=. The present contributions aggregate
$25, 900; our records show that up to
date there has been expended for gen
eral relief purposes $4,000. in a
period of fourteen days, leaving a bal
ance Of $1,000, which will be exhausted
within a period of one week.
The extensive sanitary work made
necessary by the existence Of our cpl
denic has been assumed by the state
board of health of Pennsylvania. -.'.
Our municipality at present has g.
bonded Indebtedness practically up to
the limit allowed by law. hence we
cannot bond the town to meet the
emergency. p. $50 aHH
In view of this condition of affairs,
the citizens Of Butler appeal to the
generosity of the people Of the United
States for contributions Of cash to aid
them in fighting the epidemic. All
contributions should be made to
Thomas J. Shufflin, treasurer of the
relief committee. =.
