An hours steady march down the
slopes brought the army to the edge OF

been felt that a point was being
reached where, according to the rake
Of the copper-iron shoot on the 1,19O
level. it ought TO make in the tunnel.
The fact that it has now come in shows
conclusively that the shoot is continu-

that the copper found above has been
by lead ore, or possibly COM
bination of both, as viii be determined
as the tunnel level is advanced For
the reason that this is the first big
strike made on the tunnel level and
that it has come at a point where de-
velopments 500 feet above indicated II

tant happening that has been recorded
since the 10,000-foot TUNE. was started.
It is a significant indication that the
numerous other shoots opened above
and east of the WINE will also be en-
countered.
The winze that is being sunk from the

now down to within fifty-odd feet Of

connection will be made during the
next week or ten days, at the outside.
In the meantime the company's mill

for running, and 1t will not be more
than a couple of weeks until produc-

DOING WELL IN MEXICO.
Salt Lake Mining Engineer Is Pro-
noting Big Gold Proposition.

George B. Earnshaw, the welI-known
mining engineer. who las been in Mexi-
CO almost continuously during the past
year and a half, leaves for Denver and
New York tomorrow on business con-
nected with the organization of the Red
Mountain Gold Mining company. When
Mr.. Earnshaw left here for Mexico it
was to make an examination of what is
known as the Black Mountain property
IN the state Of Sonora, for Salt Lake
operators. He made his report and rec
commended the purchase of the ground
but the proposition was not taken hold
Of. Later the property went to a syn
dictate headed by Chicago talent and
12-stamp mill is now in successful and
profitable operation upon it and the stock
of the company is selling at three times
its par value Of s. a share.
In the Red Mountain property Mr.
EarnshaW states there is a veritable
mountain Of free milling gold ore that
will quarry and mill at a rate Of better
than s. per ton. New York and Pittsburg
operators have Joined Mr.. EarnshaW in
the rounding out of the proposition and
for the first three years, if necessary, he
has agreed to manage the property. The
Red Mountain mines are not distant
from the Black Mountain bonanza and
Mr.. Earnshaw is certain the property
Will prove just as valuable. He has es-
tabhshed a home at NOgales, Ariz., where
Mrs. Earnshaw now resides, because of
its easy distance from the mines in which
he IS so largely interested.

UTAH COPPER ELECTION.
Wall Is Bounced as Vice President
Mistakes In His Letter Corrected.

The new officers Of the Utah Copper
company, as reported to James A. Pol
lock & Co, in a. message over the firm S
private wire from New York Monday
night, are as follows: c. NJ. MacNeill.
president; D. c. Jackling, vice president
and general manager: Spencer Penrose,
secretary and treasurer; John Hays
Hammond mining director; A. Chester
Beatty, consulting engineer; X R Bah
bitt, general counsel MeSsrs. Jackling,
MacNeil and Penrose are the executive
committee, with Mr.. Jackling as chair
man.
Whether all of those mentioned are
directors or not, the dispatch does not
state, neihter does it indicate whether
Colonel E. A Wall was retained on the
board or not. AS the latter is not recog-
nized in the list of officers, however, the
presumption is that he was not retained
as a member Of the board of directors.
When Colonel Wallis attention was called
to the fact that his name did not appear
TO the list Of officers he declared that it
He had given his proxy to Mr.. Penrose
to vote his shares at the annual meeting,
but had not been advised as to what &C
ton had been taken
Then Colonel Wall called attention to
the fact that three bad errors had crept
into the letter which he had given to the
press, and he asked that they be cor
rected. In the paragraph referring TO
the railroad grade and which read ''the
grade is TO be II per cent should have
read 2lz per cent, and, in the same para
graph, where the types made the tariff
rate on ore read nc per ton, should have
read 271Rc. A little farther along, where
the article refers TO the advantages TO be
gained in handling ores at the mill by
gravity instead OF mechanical elevators,

per ton, instead.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Jan. 3o.-The wheat market
was strong for the entire day. At the
opening the May option was up 1QA, to
Aq5s, at S51S51s. Commission houses
were active buyers because of bullish
news, which was both foreign and domes-
tic. The main strength early in the day
was derived from the situation in the
United States. Receipts in the northwest
were less than those of the corresponding
day of last week. and stocks in Minnea-
polls increased only 100000 bushels during
the last three days. There was consider
able covering by shorts because of the
prediction of the weather bureau of cold
er weather In the southwest. 1t was
feared that the fall-sown crop might be
severely damaged by low temperatures.
Toward the middle Of the session tho,
market received fresh strength from an
official report stating that the drouth in
India was still unbroken in many pro-
vIrces. The bulls also found encourage
ment in BradstTeet's report of the world
available supply: During the day the
May option sold up to S5AdS51b. The
close was strong, with May &c up, at So
GS5ss.
Notwithstanding excellent weather for
the movement of corn, local receipts to-
day were less than the estimate and this
created buIiish sentiment in the pit MAY

CONCERNING THE ALICE.
Reasons of Revival in Property Con-
troIled by Walker Bros.

During the past few weeks there has
been considerable activity IN the stock
OF the Alice Mining company, which Is
dealt in on the local exchange and in
New York as Wen. The company is con-
1rolled by the Walker brothers and the
mines are located at Walkerville Mont
q. suburb Of Butte. Discussing the propo-
Bition's revival the Wall Street Summary
says:
THE activity, comparatively speaking,
which has recently developed in the
shares Of the Alice mine and their fire.
Quent quotation on the tape has aroused
q good deal of curiosity in the financial
district and a desire to learn exactly
what the shares represent. The Alice
Gold & Silver Mining company is an old
corporation. but has attracted little pub
lie attention until lately. The Alice mine
which It owns, is located near Butte
Mont, close 10 the Boston & Montana
mines and adjacent to the Lexington mine
owned by the Hein2e interests. The Alice
nine is a silver producer, but has not
Deen IN active operation for some time
The revival Of interest IN the com
psnys stock followed the discovery of
new rich veins of copper by both the
Analgamated and HeinZe interests in
montana and 1naSmuch as the Alice mine

lied with the Alice company believe that

IlTled with both the Amalga mated and

ONTARIO DRAIN TUNNEL.
Roadway. In Clearing Is Being Made
objective Point Not Reached.

Asked concerning conditions at the
Ontario drain tunnel, Manager c. l..
Rood stated yesterday that there was
no change worthy of note, so far as he
knew, and he was last in communica-
ton with the superintendent on Nor
day. The work of clearing away the
mass of Debris and network of all kinds
Of material that had accumulated in the
tunnel when the water broke through
into the drift that was being run
around the bad ground in the main ave
nue. is still progressing.
The circular drift, which had been
driven 240 feet when the water forced
its way through and into 1t, has not yet
been reached, though the point at
which il left the main tunnel Is only
a short distance ahead Water is gush-
ing through as usual and the work of
clearing the tunnel is progressing Just
as fast as the nature Of The work and
the tangled mass Of material encoun-
tered will allow.

this morning There were considerable
accumulations of selling orders in COM
mission houses ut the opening. In order
to guard against threatening break in
prices which might become DANGEROUS
to the volume of banking credits, large
supporting orders made their appear
ance IN the market to help sustain
prices, as is the rule at times when
acute weakness develops in the market

Withdrawn from the market, and the
holdings acquired in this process are
likely to come back on the market as
soon as it is capable Of absorbing them.
The perception that buying was largely
confined to this class and that it was
rot inclined to follow any advance in
prices was an encouragement to the re-
neWed attack on the market late in the
day by the bear party and q new dis
enlargement TO those holding large
lines of stocks and speculation for the
advance. With the renewal of the de-
cline fresh Importance was attached
to the action in the house of representa-
L
Vanla group of railroads and to the
measures at Albany to investigate the
state banking department. While the
market was showing resistance to the
depression during the early rart of the
day speculative opinion was inclined to
belittle the Importance of these meas
ures.
The Hill Interview.
Some effect was produced by the
tone Of an interview with the president
of the Great Northern asserting his
conviction that the course of affairs in
this country at present amounted to a.
consumption of the cOuntry's principal
for cost of living. The variable reports
of net earnings for December by the
Erie, Lehigh Valley. Cincinnati & Ohio
and the Canadian Pacific railroads were
ignored IN the rush to liquidate specu-
latlVe holdings. The Russian financial
situation continued to engage attention
abroad and increased the likelihood of
an outgo of gold from New York. But
10 engagements were announced. The
principal pressure of the liquidation CEN
tered In Reading, Colorado Fuel, Union
Pacific, Lead, Smelling and such
stocks, which had been the subject OF
excessive or reckless speculation in the
immediate past. The rush of shorts to
cover caused violent rallies at th9 last

declines. The United States Steel
stocks were not much affected by the
selling and came up strongly at the

United States Company Is Smelling
More Ore in Salt Lake Valley
Than Any Other.
STRIKE IN THE H0NERINE
FIRST BIG ORE SHOOT ON TUN-
MEL is TAPPED.

The @smelter trnst'' is being left far
in the rear in the quantity of ore han
died, according to the statistics.
1t has been common practice to refer
to the American Smelling & Refining
company as the leader in the smelter
business Of this valley. IN the amount
of ore treated, however, 1t holds moth
ing better than second place, and fig
ures available show that two other
companies handle more ore every day
than it does. At the American Smclt-
ing company works eight furnaces,
with a charge capacity Of 125 tons each,
are operated. Allowing for fuel and
f1uxes, 1t is doubtful whether more
than 200 tons Of ore is handled during
each twenty-four hours
Compared with what the American
company is doing the United States
company has it altogether outclassed.
It is operating six big furnaces and 4
TeVerberatOry, and combined they are
handling more than ], 900 tons of ore in
addition to the fixes. The company is
also operating a lead smelter with three
furnaces, the capacity of which are the
equal, at any rate, Of those at the
American works, which means that at
least 300 tons Of ore a day are being
melted into bullion there. This would
indicate that the United States works
are treating in the neighborhoOd Of 500
tons Of ore moro per day than is the
American plant. Allowing, however,
that the American company is getting
through LOCO tons per day in its eight
furnaces. the United States works then
have it beaten by 800 tons.
AS a matter Of fact, the Utah ConsOl-
idated smelter consumes more ore every
twenty-four hours than does the Amer
lean plant, and it is question whether
&c 4c 49, al 1J.-
mated, if not exceeded by the Bingham
Consolidated company.
The United States company also
treats a greater variety Of ore than
does the American company and, with
Its big plant in California and the erec-
ton OF works now under consideration.
The trust will need to go some to out
strip it, even after the completion Of
the big works west Of this city.
General Manager A. F. Holden Of the
United States Smelting, Refining g.
Mining company is now in Mexico. He
is there negotiating for the control Of
a large custom smelter Of Torreon,
Mexico, which IS under option to the
United States company. This custom
smelter was built several years ago.
and by reason Of its central location,
and fair treatment of the Mexican min
ing interests. 1t has established a large
business, being practically the only
large smelter il Mexico which is not
owned by the American Smelling & Re
fning company.
It is felt that the United States COM
pany could afford TO pay a higher price
for this smelter than it would cost to
build one Of its own. because of the
tact that its business is we'll established
