BOISE BASIN MoNozITE.
Geological Survey Expert InVestigat
ing Ledge of This Rare Metal.

Harry +. Grain of Cheyenne, who is
representing the geological survey in
connection with the search for rare
minerals in the product of western
mines. has returned from a trip to
Boise Basin. He went up there partic-
ulaTly to examine a ledge carrying
monozite and secure samples of the ore
for testing at the government plant
at the Portland exposition
The ledge is east of CenterVille and
was located by Frank Cooper. 1t has
been traced about half a mile and has
been opened at number of points,
though in such a name" that ii is
difficult to determine its width 1t ap-
pears, however, TO be about twelve feet
in width.
The mOnoZite can be readily concen-
trated, Mr.. Grain SAYS and in placer
ground it is found with the gold and
other heavy substances. The metal is
valuable, being used in electric lamps,
and a good ledge carrying il in rea-
sonable quantity would be very profit
able
In speaking of the work of the sur
vey in this particular, Mr. Grain said
it was the desire of the government TO
aid all miners in determining what they
have i'm their ores and especially to as
sist them in detecting the presence of
rare metals and determining how these
may be extracted.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The market fOE wheat
opened easier with December a shade off
at 622sdS25s. Dry weather throughout
Minnesota and the Dakotas was the main
cause of the slight initial declines. AS
a result of improved weather conditions
il was claimed that arrival of new wheat
at Minneapolis on Monday would show
an enormous increase. one estimate plac-
ing the receipts at 500 carloads. Under
the stimulus of such adViceS. pit traders
We're sellers during the entire session.
Early in the day buyers were compare
lively few. Commission houses later be-
came quite active purchasers. The mar
ket for a time showed considerable firm
ness. The principal source of strength
lay in large export business reported at
the seaboard. The Michigan crop report
was a bearish factor in the reaction.
The wheat yield of that state is estimated
at 100000 bushels, against 100000 last
year. The market closed easy, with De-
cember at S21z
Sentiment in the corn pit was bearish
as a result of the good weather for the
maturing of the crop. At the close prices
were at the lowest Of the day, with De-
cember at 1872.
A liberal increase in local receipts
caused some weakness in the oats mar
ket December closed at 27A, a net de
cline of lkG1Z.
Provisions were steady on a 5d10 cent
advance in the price of live hogs. At
the close October pork was up cents,
lard was a shade lower and ribs We're

The leading futures ranged as follows:

COPPER CASTING RECORD.
Michigan Plant Turns Out $50
Pounds Per Minute.

The plant of the Michigan Smelling
company one day last week made a new
world record in the casting of copper.
In the regular course of that days
work there was taken from one refining
furnace, working on Copper Range
mineral, an output of 292 900 pounds of
refined copper cast in ingOt bars, in the
elapsed time of seven hours. During
the process there was an interruption
of half an hour so that the actual time
OF casting was six and One-half hours.
The work, therefore, was done at the
rate of $50 pounds of copper every min
ute. In operating the furnace and cast
ing of the machinery six men were en-
plOyed, while four men were engaged in
loading the copper as the finished in
gOts were delivered from the cOnVeyOr.
The Michigan smelling plant is now
capable of treating 100 per cent increase
over its present product. The five fur
naces of the smelter have a capacity
for reducing 10000 600 pounds of copper
monthly, while the seven mines; whose
copper is refined there, do not exceed
100000 pounds in their monthly out
put.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Weeks Trading Has Been Light and
Market Generally Uninteresting.

During the week on the mining eX-
change total of 81. 40 shares of stock,
the selling value of which was $23.S7Sl3,
charged hands. The single regular and
open board calls yesterday brought out
S,l3D shares. which sold for s., 70OSS The
market has been dull and uninteresting
during the entire week and, generally
speaking, there has been little or no sig
nlticance in the fluctuations of the mar
row range Of stocks that have been dealt
in.
New York Bonanza has been the only
stock TO display real weakness. 1t has
been altogether at the mercy of the
bears and, while there has been nothing
in the way of official news from the
property, it seems impossible that the
stock could decline nearly one third in
value on light transactions without cause.
Grand Central. Lower Mammoth, May
Day, Star Consolidated, Wabash and
practically all OF the other stocks dealt
in have done business at prices that
were uniformly steady, if not strong,
