CELEBRATES
BIRTH ANNIVERSARY

Since j. +. Budd, president Of The
shoe company bearing his name. first
saw the light down in Bass River town
ship 81 years ago yesterday, it is pro-
bable there has been nothing in all his
experience that SO keenly appealed to
the finer feelings of his nature and
gave him greater pleasure than the
birthday token he received from the
girls employed in the factory,
This consisted of 81 handsome chrys-
anthemums neatly arranged, with Il
large photograph Of our townsman and
one of the company's conspicuous 1907
calendars placed in Il very prominent
position above them,
The flowers were much admired by
all who saw them and II Is question
whether the girls experienced NOR"
pleasure in presenting them to their
employer than he did in receiving them
1t was great day in Eodd's Factory

San Francisco Broker Declares Busi-

Nat Boas, the San Francisco stock bro
ker who has a large personal acquaintance
here and who is known to everybody
through the publication or his snappy
weekly market letters on Nevada stocks
came in from the west yesterday. He
will remain a day or two and then go on
to New York until such time as il is
again possible to get into harness at San
Francisco.
While he considers it all right for Salt
Lake to jump in and work for portion
of the business in Nevada stocks, which
he has no doubt will result from their
listing on the local exchange, he feels
that the main market center will continue
to be at San Francisco where it has been
so firmly established. All arrangements
has been made to resume business on the

In another three weeks such a matter
he figures that everything will be in full
swing again.

the concentrating of the Butte Con-
so1dated company,s ores at its plant in
BASIN, which is equipped in the most
modern manner to handle 150O tons
daily of these ores. The smelter of
the Basin Reduction company is also
located at Basin, and could. on very
short notice, be blown in if considered
desirable by the management but, in
the meantime, the company's ores are
being handled at the Washoe conpany's
plant at a rate for smelling more adj
vantageous than could be done by the
company in its own plant.
1.-THE company further controls inter-
ests in enormous copper and gold depos-
its in Montana, Utah and Alaska, which
it expects very shortly to equip on a
very large scale, running into several
thousands tons daily in each state or
territory. On account of outstanding
minor interests which have not yet been
secured, the management does not con-
slider it wise to refer to those more
specifically. Water rights, timber
rights townsites and other necessary
adjuncts to the operations contemplated
would Immediately become more costly
Of requirement, with no corresponding
benefit to the stockholders, and it IS
therefore deemed the part of wisdom at
this time simply to advise the stock
holders that these operations are con-
templated and under way and have
every appearance of a successful out
come.
"In conclusion, 1t may be stated that
the company is in such a position that.
with the present price of copper, there
will be no difficulty in maintaining the
present dividend rate, and I consider
the stockholders have every reason to
look forward to a series of years Of
most successful business

HEINzE's UTAH OPERATIONS.
Makes Significant Statement at
United Copper Annual,

About the strongest intimation of
what has happened to- the Bingham
Consolidated, or what will happen in
the near future, is found in the state
ment submitted at the annual meeting
Of the United Copper company last
Thursday by F. A. Heinze, president
of the company. He does not mention
the name of the Bingham company.
but his reference to Utah holdings of
the United Copper company and his
large scale, carry sufficient significance
for all to understand what is meant
That portion of Mr.. Heinze's statement
to. the shareholders touching on the
subject VIII prove interesting reading
in Utah 1t is as follows:
"As result of the recent arrange
ment your company is in a most ex-
ceptional position to continue the sue
cessful prosecution of the business for
which it was formed. 1t is today the
owner of securities having a market
value in excess of 10000, 600. and il has
cash and receivables equivalent to cash
in excess of $S,50O,000 on hand These
securities cover interests in nearly every
Butte copper mining company whose
stock are traded in either on the stock
exchange or curb and copper mining
stocks of companies operating in Utah
and California and represent a bene-
fetal interest in the production of
greater number of pounds of copper

in Butte. from which over 800 tons of
exceptionally rich gold, silver and cop

above the 5O0-foot level. This output
can shortly be increased from the up-
per levels and the machinery is all
on the ground to unwater the mine to
the 1,450-foot level, and when this has
been done, there is no question the
output will be considerably more than
doubled.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
General Shading of Prices and an
Uneasy Undercurrent.

There was a general shading of prices
on the mining exchange yesterday and an
undercurrent of uneasiness that was any
thing but assuring. Such stocks as May
Day, New York. Wabash and one or two
others were well taken as the prices re-
coded, and there is nothing from any of
the properties to indicate other than that
the stocks were entitfedato advance rather
than decline. Nothing is doing in Little
Bell but the weakness shown in Column
bus Consolidated. Daly-JUdge and some
OF the other higher priced stocks gives
nothing on which to predict that anything
can move UP under present conditions. In
the opinion of some of the brokers' local
stocks are being sold by parties who have
been hit by the sharp and repeated
breaks in copper stocks, and it is claimed
that when the eastern market strengthen
things will look better at home.
During the day a total of 80. 525 shares
of stock. with a selling value Of $23. 2S5. 40
changed hands. the list of final quota
tions and record of sales made being as

C. L. DiGNOWITY HERE.
Man Who Preached Merits of Bing-
ham Years Ago Gets Glad Hand.

.. L. Dignowity, the welI-known mining
engineer and operator who formerly
claimed Salt Lake as his home and who,
during the greater portion of last year,
was travelling in foreign lands with his
family, came in from the east yesterday
EN- route to Nevada.
Mr. Dignowity is going to spend some
time in a roundup of the boom camps of
the Sagebrush state in the interests of
himself and a number of eastern clients
who are largely interested either in prop
critics themselves or stocks representing
them. During the day he was in confer
ence with Samuel NewhOuse, John Dern
and some of the other large operators of
his acquaintance, while between times he
was being greeted by numberless old
friends who were glad to see him out
this way again.
To Mr.. Dignowity's early efforts in pre-
senting the possibilities of Bingham to
the eastern investor the present prOmi-
hence Of that camp is largely due and it
is therefore with a great deal of salts
faction and pride that he notes the ire
mendOus strides that it has taken since
he first preached the merits of its mines
He expects to leave for the west tonight
and upon his return a month or more
later he will try and find time to visit
some of the Utah camps with which he
has been so long and is still prominently
identified.

CHERRY CREEK HAS RICH ORE
Three thousand Dollar Rock Is Mar
keted in Salt Lake.

A trial lot of ore from the properties
Of the Hartford Nevada Gold Mining
company about five miles out of Cher
ry Creek. New. were sold in the local
open market yesterday on controls
showing over 147 ounces gold and over
over II ounces Of silver per ton. the
approximate value of the rock thus be-
ing $4,000 a ton.
At the head of the company is w ].
Wallace. who has come from Hartford
looking after its financial affairs and
looking up the local market With a
view to the further equipment OF the
mines With him is his brother, J. s.
Wallace. superintendent of the proper
ties and miner of experience. The
visitors exhibit some really handsome
and exceedingly rich samples of ore
from the property, samples the coun-
terparts of which have given assay re-
turns running all the way from SO 900
to $4,000 per ton. The ore sold came
from a fOrty-fOOt drift off the bottom
of a seventy-fOOt shaft in what is des-
ignated as ledge No I on the property,
or the most westerly of four parallel
veins that traverse the ground and
which are all cut with a crOss-f issure
running at right angles to them
The company has owned the Dropertv
for about a year, but it is only during
the last few months that systemic
development work began, owing. to the
difhculty experienced in getting Ilrn-
per, machinery and supplies into camD
On the No 2 vein a hoist has been IN
stalled and a shaft has been sunk 100
feet. but it has not been possible as
yet, to send a drift out to the first
shoot Of ore.
During the next two or three weeks
1t is expected that the Nevada North
ern railroad, the branch line from fhe
Southern Pacific to FAY. will be ready
TO receive freight at Curry's ranch q
point about twenty-five miles from
Cherry Creek When that happens the
company will send carload of ore
from the same workings that the CON
signment mentioned above came from
and the expectation is that it will av
erage up well with the ore sold A
little later the property will be e0uin-
ped in first-class shape and the com
pany will send a shaft to the deep and
open all Of the lodges on the proDertv
from it. Next winter or the following
spring, a mill viii most likely be buiif
to handle the ore, or that portion of If
that should be concentrated.
The visitors report the camD of
Cherry Creek and the surroundine re-
gion as being exceedingly lively at the
present time. with several big com
panies, controlled i'm the east. in the
