The Copper Share Market.

The strength of the stock market was put to a severe test by bear traders early this week, and it was demon sJrated that conditions are still sound and healthy The effort to scare mar gin traders into a selling movement failed utterly, and after prices were down a few points it was discovered that there were three times as many buyers as sellers. The coppers acted
 particularly we'll throughout, and are consequently in much better position to advance now than they were before the raid occurred. The extreme strength of the metal market and the prospect for a continuance of high
 prices for many months to come-per- haps for yearS-make copper stocks
 look especially attractive from spec
 ulative and investment standpoint. AS
 yet practically none of the companies
 are getting the advantage of current high prices for copper, their product
 having been sold ahead as far as Feb ruary at 16 to 16 1-2 cents per pound.
 All the big dividend increases so far
 recorded reflect only the prosperity
 which the companies were enjoying on d 1o-C6HS hSl- At LL4C Pi ent time more than one-half of the
 gross earnings of the worlds copper mines is net profit, and it looks as if this condition of things would continue for at least a year to come.
 Greene Consolidated has decided to increase it's outstanding capital to ,000,00O shares by the issue of 136,-

Part of the gold is fine, bright and flaky, but part of it is coarser and con tains many nuggets worth five and ten cents a piece and occasional ones worth several dollars.
 One important result of the Little Creek discoveries is that they have led to more active prospecting in the tundra gravels. It has been known for some time that small amount of gold is almost always present there, but the occurrence and position of any other beach line back of Nome can be determined only by actual investiga- ton. It is safe to predict that the Nome tundra be the scene of more ex- tensive operations during the present winter than in any previous year.

 MT. Chairman, I have nothing to say against the people of New Mexi- co. If let alone for a season they will, l doubt not, work out a satisfactory destiny. For those in that Territory who are pressing, by their influence and against our will, this union of the two 1 can not represS the expression of my contempt Men who would thus wrong their neighbors are un- worthy to hold for one minute the reins of State government.

 The committee feel that it is wiser and better for the Territories them- selves, and for the nation, that they shall wait that development which the resource claimed by their advocates will justify.

apparently well-washed beach sands, others were without doubt deposited by streams. Beds containing bowl ders, some of which weigh a ton, ire quently top the workable gravels and are a constant source of danger in mining, especially during the summer months, when the roof is weakened by thawing. These powders occur sometimes on bed rock and are some times found in the muck that oyerIies the gravelss
 Nearly all the deposits, from surface to bed rock, carry gold, but the rich gravels are found well down. In some places they rest directly on the schist, in other places they rise to height of 5 or feet above it. The gold-bearing gravels of present economic import ancs have thickness of between f and , feet, which increased to 10 feet in one instance where the material removed formed lenticular mass. 1 min elongated lenses or beds of red dish sand, called ruby sand, the color of which Is due at times to small grains of red garnet and at times to iron oxide, occur throughout the pay gravel and often contain so much gold tkat 1t can easily be detected, even in careless handling Msca-schist, in which there are occasional thin lime stone beds, forms the true bed rock, but the socalled bedrock" on which

THE cocHIsE CONSOLIDATED

The Cochise Consolidated Copper company has been incorporated, and has passed from the development stage into that of a producer. This property is situated about five miles from Paradise, in a northerly .direc- tion, and comprises thirteen claims. formerly held by O. c. Davis.
 The surface of this property is traversed by a mammoth quartz dyke. It is scanned by copper, and all of the lodges observable and ore bodies struck in development work appear to dip toward this dyke. Values on or near the surface show well in gold. silver and copper, and increase in cop, per values with depth.
 At the same time it should be men, toned that good copper values are found much nearer the surface, in these claims, than are to be found in many other promising copper prop critics.
 The development work consists of a 160-foOt shaft on what is known as the Ainsworth claim. Also, on the Duplex, there is an inclined shaft, 1C7 feet deep, from which the man agement drove a crosscut seventy four feet in length, disclosing a mixed ore consisting of lead and zinc, in ad- ditiOn to copper, gold and silver.
 In the same contact basin. on the Mascot, there are two shafts, one 196 feet and the other ninety feet, and a treasury tunnel, 360 feet in length. Here were encountered black sulphides of copper.
 It is intended by the management to concentrate the ore. For this pur- pose the buildings necessary have been erected and needed improve ments made. The machinery for a fifty-ton concentrator is now being hauled from the railroad station at Rodeo to the mines, a distance of

rAE STRIKE ON LITTLE CREEK


 Messrs. Fred H. Moffat and Frank IL. Hess, of the United States Geolog- ical Survey, spent last summer in the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Of the many things which they wiul report concerning gold mining in the Nome district nothing is more likely to ap- peal to popular interest than their description of the strike on Little Creek.
 It was little over year ago-in the fall of 1S04-that the productive claims on Little Creek first came into prominence. Since then they have yielded nearly one and a half million dollars. Much the greater part of the gold taken out came from four cialms located within an area little greater than onetenth of square mile.
 Little Creek is tributary of Snake River, at the mouth of which Nome is situated. The bonanza claims of 1S04-5 are near the tracks of the Nome Arctic Railroad, only miles north of Nome. The gold deposits lie deep. Shafts have been sunk as far as 50 feet, but the average workings are be- tween 30 and 35 feet below the sur face.
 Frozen much and moss, varying in thickness from IF to feei3, form a heavy covering for the gold-bearing grayels. Some of the gravels are

Geo. L. Walker, in his weekly cop per letter, under date of February 2, says:
 Boston, Feb. 2.-The copper market is dull, but the metal situation has not lest one whit of its strength. Lake and siectrolytic are held al Is If to Is 3-4 cents by all the important pro ducing interests. Almost no sales are being made either at these or lower prices. There have been two or three small lots of copper offered at Is II to IS cents, if report can be believed, and much has been made of this by certain consuming interests who are trying hard to start decline in prices. It is declared on the highest authority, however, that as much as a million pounds of refined copper could not be scraped together at a lower price than IS 1-2 cents.
 Fully 80 per cent. of all the copper that can possibly reach the markets during February, March and April has already been sold. IL is believed that the remaining 20 per cent will be sold before it is ready for delivery. There is no sign of any decrease in con- sumption, even the sheet copper mar ket, which always reflects the evil ef- fects of abnormally high prices first, is now unprecedentedly strong and active. Careful inquiry fails to bring to light a single instance where a cop per or brass works has reduced its working force, expansion, rather, be- ing the rule in every branch of the trade.
 The daily quotations of the New York Metal Exchange, which have conveyed the impression that two or three cuts hsd been made in the price of copper recently, are extrmly mls- leading. No actual sales of copper have been made on this exchange for a long period-not for years, some as- sert. The "quotations" given out daily are simply the results of an in teresting guessing contest which has been organized by a committee hay ing few or no other duties. So far as is learned, the committee mentioned is the only active function of the ex- change, and but for the publication of these guesses the business world might long ago have forgotten that the institution existed.
 ne u6CilnIuS quOtdllohS lOt VI. Nn- B." copper in the London speculative market have exerted slight influence on consumers and helped to restrict business temporarily. The grade "G. M. B." is very low-too low 70 permit of its use without refining. American refining interests have watched that market carefully during the past two years ,and have on two or three occa- sions made things extremely unpleas- ant for the bear traders by taking all offerings, at times when prices were forced down speculatively, and then demanding actual deliveries. Copper so secured has been shipped to this country, refined and sold again at a good profit.
 The foreign demand for copper is being satisfactorily maintained. Flu ropean consumers are waiting for a renewal of activity, hoping for pos sibIe shading of prices. It is learned, however, that 100000 pounds of real copper were sold in England last week at IS 5-S cents per pound. This fact is a demonstration that it could not be secured at a lower price.

that it's mining was being done by the most expensive system. Mining men of excellent judgment told me that the company must spend at least $2 ,OOO,- 900 remodeling and reconstructing it's plant before it would be in shape to properly pay dividends. It now seems that the position l took at that time was justified in every particular but one-the company had valuable ore in such remarkable abundance that 1t
 was able to produce 60,000,0OO pounds of copper and pay $2,073,O0O Tn divi- dends annually notwithstanding its defective plant and wasteful methods of operating. This was later reflect ed in the substantial advance in the price of the stock.
 The alterations, improvements and extensions which the management now propose to make with new capi- tai, were begun months ago. It was planned to make them gradually and pay for them out of the earnings. l This could undoubtedly have been done: but financial wisdom prevailed | in the meetings of the Greene cOmpa- ny's directors, and it was decided that millions of dollars could be saved for stockholders by prompt action.
 | With its present plant and system ot handling ore, supplies, etc, Greene's copper is made at a cost of II 1-2 cents per pound. It is believed that the i'm I proved plant and new system of min ing will enable the company to reduce
 the cost of its copper fully cents per pound, making at net saving of $1,20O- 900 annually on its present volume | of production. This means that the i new investment, if properly used, will earn from the start at least 50 per
 cent through increased economies. In addition to the reduction in costs, the proposed improvements will raise the
 company's annual production to fully
 S0,000, 900 pounds of copper.
 l A nasty analysis makes it apparent
 that in exchange for. Is 1-2 per cent l increase in capital the Greene compa- | ny will secure a r 1-2 per cent reduc- l ton in costs, a B per cent increase
 in production, and-on an Scent cop
 per market-a per cent increase in
 ret earnings. That such prospective
 advantages justify the proposed capi' | tai expansion, many times over, goes without saying. Stockholders have reason to congratulate themselves that the management of their company has acted at such propiIious time. 1 The Greene company undoubtedly
 owns one of the worlds greatest cop per deposits. Its property is approx imately miles long by miles wide
 Two of it's greatest mines are or
 miles apart, and geologists believe
 that the entire intervening area is mineralized. The ores reach to the
 surface in tremendous bodies, making conditions that are ideal for steam
 shovel work. It is believed that hun
 dreds of thousands of tons of it's ores
 can be mined by the proposed new
 method at a cost of 25 to 40 cents per
 ton, compared with present cost of
 S2.50 to $3.50 per ton.
 f The prospect is that the present
 dividend payments on Greene stock
 will be continued until the company
 is in shape to increase the rate. The
 future outlook for the company is SC
 much brighter than it ever has been before that the long delayed advance
 in the price Of Greene stock should
 soon be realized.
