GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Feb. 1O.-The wheat market
was weak from the opening. The initial
quotations showed May down 14QSs to
S22{ GS27s and before the end of the first
hour the price mad dropped to Sis. The
principal cause of the decline was the
French crop report, which showed that
160S1. 200 acres had been seeded to wheat,
against Is, &c., 900 acres last year. The
failure of the Liverpool market to re-
spOnd to the advance yesterday here and
the continued mild weather in the United
States both contributed to the weakness.
As trading progressed additional news Of
a beaTish character was received, chief
Of which was a report from India that
additional rain had fallen in several prov
inces Around - cents for May there
seemed to be an almost unlimited num-
Der of buying orders. Some of these
were the result of damage reports from
Missouri, but the larger part was in the
nature of covering by shorts. Prices raj
lied somewhat late in the day, but the
close was weak, with May off 5sq% at
S27sQS21z.
Wet weather in the middle west caused
a steady corn market during the first
hour Later on peTsistene selling and
the weakness In wheat the market
dropped May closing hdAc off at 2934
by local longs, and the decline in the
grain market. Lard and ribs showed less
weakness than pork because of active
buying by packers. At the close May
ro~IS was down III. lard was off 71zG10c
and ribs were 1o0121zc lower.

BACK FROM MEXICO.
John Morehouse Returns From Visit
at Mexico Consolidated.

John MOTehOuse, the veteran mining
man and father of Frank ldOrehOuse,
general manager Of the Mexico Con-
solidated company's mines and mills in
the southern republic, returned from a
visit to his son On Monday. He was
loaded down with samples of rich ore
and sevecal big boxes Of Mexico's best
cigars, one of which Mr.. MOrehouse
turned over to Colonel Z. A. Wall dur
ing the day with Franks compliments.
Mr.. MorehOuse declares that the Mex
leo Consolidated company has one of
the biggest boTsnzas in the southern
country, and if the specimens of brittle
silver and other characters of rich rock
displayed by him are to be taken as ev-
idence, his judgment must be respected.

UTAH COPPER
GETS R. c. GEMMEL
Well Known Engineer Accepts Gen
eral SUPPLEMENTARY of All
Company Properties.
WILL BUILD POWER PLANT
COMPANY NOT WILLING TO TAKE
CHANCES ON OUTSIDE SUPPLY.

Robert c. GemmeI, the well known
mining and civil engineer. has been Sc
lected as general superintendent of all
of the properties of the Utah Copper
company. Formal announcement of the
fact was made by General Manager D.
c. lacking yesterday. Mr.. Gemmel is
an engineer of wide experience. He
was at one time on the staff of Captain
J. r. De Lamar, and has done a great
deal of work for John Hays Hammond,
the Utah Copper company's chief en-
gineer, and also for the late Victor NJ.
Clement. He went from here a few
years ago to take charge of the Clement
properties in Mexico, and he remained
there until the death of Mr.. Clement
and the sale of the properties He also
filed the position of state engineer
after the admission OF Utah to the
Union.
Mr.. Gemhael was looking after things
at the properties during Mana ger
Jackling's absence in the east and
while it was not known to what extent
he would become identified with the
rounding out of the mammoth under
takings which the company had in
hand, it was then suspected that he
was slated for some important post.
The announcement made by Mr.. Jack
ling yesterday removes all doubt.
announcer important OIL OF iIlIOrIQdIlOn
impaired by Manager Jackling during
the day was that the company had
finally decided to build and operate its
own power plant. This will go UP at
the site Of the mammoth mill, near the
Garfield smelteTs. and make the COM
pany Independent Of all outside power
companies for the energy that will be
required to keep the vast amount Of
machinery that will enter into the COM
Da0V'S works in motion
While Manager Jackling did not say
so, the presumption is that the company
has decided not to trust to the chance
of getting power from the corporation
that has been promising to bring It in
from the Snake river in Idaho, a com
pany which, a few months since, was
understood to have secured contracts
to supply all the power that would be
required at the mills and smeIters at
Garfield.
Within the next month Manager
JacklinE hopes to see all contracts for
material and equipment for the new
mill and power plant awarded. Much
structural material has already been
ordered and, by the time machinery can
be landed here the buildings will be in
shape to permit its installation There
win be no holding back till the plans of
the company have been fully carried

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Market Gives Unmistakabfe Signs of
Growing Strength.

While heavier trading has been in
has not been a day since the first of the
year when the local mining share mar
ket exhibited a stronger undertone than
1t did yesterday. Brokers from all sides
of the pit were striving hard to execute
orders. and that a greater volume of
business was not done was due largely 70
the apparent fact that buying orders were
held at a limit that sellers would not
meet During the day a total of 421eO
shares of stock, with a selling walnut of
ST.. 465 %. changed hands.
Tintic stocks had the call, and that fact
was counted by the brokers as indicating
the commencement OF q boom all through
the list. Ajax. Carisa. Beck Tunnel Nav
Day. Grand Central Victoria, Victor Con-
solidated. Tetro, Richmond & Anaconda
and Uncle Sam were all traded in, and

REAL DEL MONTE MINES.
Data Concerning Mexican Property
BOUGHT by United States Co.

The United States Smelling, Refining
& Mining company is now in posses
sion of the mines and personal prop
erty formerly owned by the Real Del
Monte Mining company of Mexico.
This property is near Pachuca, a city
of $4,000 inhabitants, sixty miles north
of the City of Mexico. 1t is located on
two railroads and embraces between
$500 and 5000 acres of territory, in
which there are nine mines, which
produced last year about S3,5O0O 600
CMexican currency gold and silver.
The property embraces also probably
as many as $50 other shallow mines or
openings, which have been worked in
desuItory Mexican fashion at different
times. The United States company
paid 81, 5000 600 gold for the property
Pachuca is essentially a silver-gOld
camp, and the ores in the past have
been treated by the old-fashioned
wasteful patio process. This camp is
one of the Oldest in Mexico, having
been originally worked by the Span
iards as far back as 1920, and having
been continuous profitable producer
The United States company is at the
present time in possession of the prop
erty and A F. Holden, who has been
on the ground for the last six weeks
experimenting the examination, re-
ports a large tonnage of profitable ore
in sight with the probability of devel-
oping large additional reserves. 1t is
the purpose of the company to open
and equip these mines upon a large
scale, involving an expenditure OF
about s1GO0,O0O gold.
1t will require at least a year, per-
haps a year and a half, to install the
new equipment, consisting of pumping
plants, concentration and cyanide
mills. Under modern methods of min
ing and milling treatment the COM
pany believes that a much larger ton
mage can be taken out of the mines
and, furthermore, that much ore can
be treated which in the past has been
rejected under ground or thrown in the
dumps, owing to the expensive Mexi-
can methods of treatment.

GOING AFTER THE GOLD.
Salt Lake Crowd Get in on q Good
Thing Near SearchIight.

A large number of the local railroad
fraternity. with associates, have in
ccTpoTated the Crescent Peak Gold
Mining company. This company has
secured valuable gold properties near
the famous Searchlight district in Ne
vada. and have already commenced
development on the claims. During
the past few weeks 80, 900 shares of the
treasury stock have been sold to local
railroad men and their intimate friends
and the capital thus obtained viii be
used to pursue active work on the
properties
J. E Hogan and L +. Gibbons, To-
Gators Of the properties, have just re-
turned from the claims bringing with
them specimens of rock taken at ran
dom from a six-fOot vein which are
expected to run at least S25 in gold to
the ton. Assays made frequently in
the past show an encOurag ing presence
of free gold in rock taken at a depth Of
a few feet below the surface. A thir-
teen-foot shaft has been sunk, reveal
ing seams of tale which, under micro
scOpic examination, show the presence
of free gold, but no assays of this rock
have yet been made to determine its
value per ton. This tale formation is
similar to that of the Montgomery
ShOshOne at BullfTOg.
With few exceptions the members
and officers Of the new mining COM
pany are local railroad men. Others
who are interested heavily in the prof.
ect are Judge J. w Burton and Judge
w. H King Of Salt Lake, and J. A
Bagley Of Idaho. Articles Of incorpor-
alton were filed in this city two weeks
ago, and up to yesterday the entire
affair was kept a secret. Now that the
necessary amount of treasury stock
has been sold and development COM
menced the railroad-mining msgnates
are talking mysteriously Of finds"
'lodes," fortunes and the happy fu-
tuTe when working for wages will be a
thing of the past.

Mr.. O'Neara stated that a good force

than ordinary milling grade is being
