physicians, and when the last
struggle of mortality is over and
we are being borne to the last

We are perhaps accused of crime

us a feed lawyer, a bribed Judge,
a packed jury, and we go scot free.
Be with us we pray thee, in all

CONTINENTAL TRAM REPAIRED,
Will Begin Moving Ore Down Can
yon From Alta at Once.

Manager Henry NJ. Crowther, of
the Continental company's Alta prop
critics, is back from camp after having
gone over the line of the company's
five-mile aerial tramway and approved
the reconstruction of that portion af-
fected by the big slides in February.
He states that the line will be ready
to go into commission again today or
tomorrow and that the long ropeway
will have plenty to do for some time to
come in handling the big tonnage of
shipping ore that has accumulated at
the mine and in the upper terminal
bins since the plant was thrown out Of
commission. He says there is all of
1000 tons of this character of ore
broken and ready to move, and it will
all be sent to market previous to start
ing the mill on this seasons run.
Mr.. Crowther says that the COM
pany'S property has been undergoing
steady development since the accident
to the tramway and that the ore broken
down has come entirely as a result of
the development work done As q
whole the camp was never in such fine
shape as it is today and Mr.. Crowther
is sanguine that it will make some of
the other districts get up and hustle to
keep pace with the strides it Will make
from now on.

Stocks Not Affected by Disaster.

Copper prices continue to show 4
slight advancing tendency. Lake is
selling at 1874 and electroIytic at 1885,
cents per pound. 1t is reported that
1874 cents has recently been paid for
round lots of electrolytic for delivery
this month and next. The scarcity of
copper for immediate delivery contin-
ues a feature of the market, and ga les
of considerable lots are being made for
delivery as far ahead as July and
August, says the Boston Commercial
The prospect is favorable that cleo

of the history made during the coming
year or two. The new money recently
secured by the American Telephone

messed in various section of North

it gives the results expected its use will
be greatly extended.
The prospect continues coed that the
average price of copper this year will
exceed Is cents per pound. There are
no surplus supplies, and producers are
hnding ready sale, months in ad-
vance, for their entire output.
An earthquake is such an unusual
stock market factor that it's import
ance can hardly be judged off-hand.
The great disaster to San Francisco
caused decline in prices, as holders
of property in that city very naturally
FASTENED to dispose of their securities
and put their floating capital into cash.
The only way the earthquake in Cali
fornia is likely to affect the copper sit
uation is by temporarily shutting off
the production of the smelters operat-
ing in that state. It is not believed
that this disaster will lead to any Sc
rious business curtailment in general
or even in the far west.

PARK CITY MINES
CONSOLIDATE
ComStoCk and California Own
erS Reach Agreement, Com
pany viii Be Formed.
OTHER MINES CAN GET IN
CONTINENTAL TRAMWAY AGAIN
READY FOR BUSINESS.

The last signature to the agreement
having for its object the consolidation
of the California and Comstock prop
critics at Park City. was obtained yes
terday. and before the close of the
present week a corporation capitalized
for $1,OOO,OOO will be organized to take
over the two mines. Just what the
terms of the agreement entered into
were could not be learned during the
afternoon, but the statement was made
by one party in interest that the new
company would be formed on lines
that would permit the taking over of
additional properties in the neighbour
hood, providing the owners of them
were willing to accept fair terms.
The ownership of the COmstock prop
erty now rests with w. S. Mccormick,
while the California's corporation is
intact and embraces quite a number of
stockholders, all of whom, it is under
stood, have now agreed to the CONSOLE
dation- Negotiations looking to the
consolidation of the properties have
been pending ever since the Comstock
company went to the wall last fall. but
it was only recently that all interests
could reach an agreement.
For years the California and Com
stock companies were at swords
point over the question as to which
was entitled to the vein developed in
the C0mstOck mine. While the matter
was never determined in court, the
contentious between the two COM
panieS made it impossible for either to
prosper and the Comstock after
spending practically $4,000 in the
equipment and development of it's
mine, was forced for lack of means to
continue the struggle, a struggle that
was made all the harder for a long
time through having to handle great
quantities of water.
The properties mentioned are located
in the western portion of the Park City
district. The California has been
opened through tunnels and the Com
stock through a fine double-com-
partment and manway shaft to a depth
of 450 feet The latter property is
equipped with a fine milling plant and
a small mill is located on California
ground, as well. AS one of the parties
properties will make a fine block of
ground in which to operate, without
considering neighbOring blocks of
ground. It is conceded, however, that
the proper way to handle and develop
the several mines in the Thames can
yon country is to get them all into one
organization, provide a big treasury
reserve and then go after the several
lodges that are known to traverse that
section and open them up on an ex-
tensive scale and at great depth. Now
that the two beligerent nefghbOrS are
at lasting peace, there is ground for
hope that one of these days the pro-
posed new corporation will cover a
much larger territory than it will start
out with.
