COPPER FAMINE HERE.
Condition Predicted by John Stanton
Seems TO Have Arrived

The president Of large copper pro-
ducer, in a Boston paper says: "Tbe
public fails TO appreciate the remark
able strength of the copper market,
as is strongly evidenced by their ab-
sence from the market as buyers Of
copper stocks at their present bargain
prices For four years the late John
Stanton predicted copper famine IN
the near future, and we have reached
that situation at the present time.
Never in the history of the trade have
/ known such a demand for copper, and
/ am seller of few million pounds
Of copper year and am in a position
TO know actual conditions.
"Tbere is no doubt that the price
of copper will be maintained around
present prices for another year at
least, which will mean enormous profits
for the large copper producing mines
and will mean increased dividends all
along the line. While the copper
shares have experienced some advance,
this is a mere introduction to the prices
which | expect TO see when We have
an old-time copper market, but this
will not come until the public fully
appreciates the strength of the copper

sMELTER IN DEATH VALLEY.
Large Interests Said to Be Planning a
Large Plant.

A story comes from Boston, pub
lished in The Tribune, outlining a
proposed consolidation of the Clark
Gates and Schwab Macdonald copper
mines at GreenwaTer and the iucorpor-
alton of a gigantic company, with a
railroad TO the Amargosa river, where
a smelter will be built convenient to
the Tonopah 6 Tidewater and the Los
Vegas & Tonopah railroads. II is said
that II. H. Rogers. the Standard Oil
maCnate, is interested in the proposed
deal and will have a representative on
The directorate in the person of A. c.
Kilburn of the National City bank of
New York.
The mines which are concerned in
the merger scheme are the Furnace
Creek, the Patsy Clark holdings,
which comprise a big area of The
choicest ground in the district aud
the Death Valley company's holdings,
of which Charles NJ, Schwab, Malcolm
Macdonald and Donald b. Gillies are
the organizers and principal stock
holders. Clark was first in the field
and had his pick of the country. but
the Schwab holdings are considered
equally as good. though not so well de-
veloped as the Furnace Creek mines.
Details Of the proposed merger have
not been made public. The Furnace
Creek company Is capitalized for l.
100000 shares and the stock is selling
in Boston for So to $5.25 a share. The
Death Valley company has capital
stock of 100000 shares, with 100000
shares remaining in the treasury.

LOCAL TALENT LIKES
PROPERTIES OF |NYO
California County Is Opening
Good Chances for the
Mining Talent.

4. j. Davis, ons of the first TO rec
ognize the mineral possibilities Of
Inyo county, California, expects to
leave today for this interesting county
to look over his possessions there. Mr..
Davis is the owner of group of TWEEN
ty.four claims III the Emigrant Springs
district, a portion of the county that
has attracted such men as Charles NJ.
Schwab and Bob Montgomery. These
two gentlemen have a property In this
region which they think is even better
than the famous Montgomery Shoshone
mine in Bullfrog The splendid gold
deposits of this district have attracted
much attention the world over, and as
usual Salt Lakers have not been slow
to take advantage Of opportunity
there.
Mr.. Davis was showing some speci.
mems of ore from his group Monday,
and they were extremely rich in the
yellow metal. When asked what such
rock would run in gold, Mr.. Davis re-
fused to say, because tho assays be
has received show greater values than
have ever been claimed by any one
owning either California or Nevada
properties. Nor does he claim that his
group contains great ledge of such
rock. There has been very little work
done upon this ground up TO the pres
ent time, but Mr.. Davis states there
is a generous quantity of rich shipping
ore uncovered upon this Group.
Inyo county has suffered in past
days from insufficient transportation
facilities, making it practically impos-
sible 10 operate even the richest of
propositions successfully. Supplies
were scarce, and miners even more so,
Those who have realized the possibil-
ities of this region and who have re-
of waiting are to be rewarded from
now on. Two railroads are tapping the
rich camps of the county; new districts
arc bound TO be opened in time, and
from one end Of the new activity to
the other viii be seen the Salt Lake
investor

Beasts of Burden

Thomas Colehan, well-known Ne,
vada mine operator is trying to com.
plete rangements TO bring herd of
csmels from Coolgsrdie, Australia, TO
this State for the purpose of transporta
tion on the southern deserts, 1t is
claimed the climate st Coolgsrdie Is
vastly similar TO that in Death Valley
and the Ralston desert, and Mr.. Cole
han is confident Of success, says the
Humboldt Star.
In countries where the camel can be
successfully used on the deserts they
arc of untold benefit, easily transporting
from 800 to 600 pounds considerable
distance every day and requiring a very
small amount of water aud little food,
but a number of the animals were
brought TO this section number of
years ago and they did not prove fitted
TO the climate and conditions. The men
IN charge of the experiment expected
the animals 10 eat sagehrush with the
gusto with which they ate sandalwood
brush ON their native heath, and do a
few similar stunts but they were mis-
taken IN almost every conjecture. There

not expect to obtain the best results
for several weeks, having certain dis

they Sefe JIG: black. He had broad
shoulders, sinewy limbs and small hands
and feet. His head was round and well
shaped, bur it pulged n little over the
ears, which We're singularly small, but
lay close to his head. With this man,
barely four years older than herself,
Sarah, at seventeen. fell violently in
love. Touched by her affection. and rat
ing her intelligence and uaserupulousness
at their true value. he told Fer who he
was. lie was swindler, forger and
thief, and his name was John Rex.
When she heard this, she experienced a
sinister delight. He told her of his
plots his tricks, his escapes, his vii
lainies; and seeing how for years this
young man had preyed upon the world,
which haG deceived and disowned her,
her heart went out to him. Il am glad
you found me-" she said. 1.-Two heads
are better than one. We will work to-
gether."
Working through many channels, and
never emitting to assist a fellow worker
when in distress, John Rex, in few
years, and in a most prosaic, business
way, became the head of society of
rufiianS.
Under the names of Mr.. and Mrs.
Skinner, John Rex and Sarah Purfoy
were living in quiet lodgings. Their
landlady was a respectable poor woman,
and had son who was constable. This
son was given to talking, and coming
in to supper one night, he told his moth
er than on the following evening an at
tack was to be made on gang of coin
crs, whose leader was named Green.
This she repeated to Sarah.
John Rex, eating his dinner more nerv-
ously than usual, ruminated on the in
telligence, and thought it would be but
wise to warn Green of his danger. Not
that he cared much for Green person
ally; but it was bad policy to miss do
ing good turn to a comrade, and, more
over, Green, if captured might wag his
tongue too freely. But how to do it?
He went-and was captured When
Sarah heard of the calamity, she set to
work to help him. She collected all her
money and jewels, paid Mrs. SINNERS
rent went to see Rex, and arranged his
defense. Green, who came very near
hanging, admitted that the man was an
associate of his, and the recorder, being
in severe mood, transported him for
seven years.
Sarah Purfoy vowed that she would
follow him. She was going as passenger,
as emgrant, anything, when she saw
Mrs. Vickers' advertisement for "lady's
maid" and answered it. 1t Glanced that
Rex was shipped in the Malabar, and
Sarah, discovering this before the vessel
had been week at sea, conceived the
bold project of melting mutiny for the
rescue of her lover. We know the re-
suit of that scheme, and the story of the
scoundrels subsequent escape from Mac
quarie Harbor.

WHOLESALE MURDER PLOTS.
Idaho Suspect Confesses to Bloody
Conspiracy.


1t transpires that the purpose of the
Idaho and Colorado authorities is to try
to fasten upon Charles III. Meyer, presi-
dent, and William ID. Haywood, secre-
tary, of the Western Federation of Min
ers, who were taken to Boise, response
bility for wholesale plots to murder
through a confession said to have been
made by Harry Orchard, prisoner at
Boise charged with the murder of former
Governor Steuncnberg.
Orchard charged, it Is asserted that a
plot was Matched to kill former Gov
James Peabody of Colorado, William III.
Gabbert, chief justice of the Colorado
Supreme Court, and John Campbell, for
mer chief justice. Orchard is said to
have declared that wholesale assassina-
tons were planned at the headquarters of
the Western Federation of Miners in
Denver, chiefly by refugees from the
camps at Cripple Greek and Telluride.
1t is said also that Orchards statement
gives a history of the explosion at the
Independence station near Cripple Greek
on June &, 1904, which killed fourteen
men and injured many others.
The murders committed during the la
Dor troubles in the Cripple Greek and
Telluride districts in Idaho and Colorado,
which have been shrouded in mystery, the
earlier Occur d'Alene murders and the
more recent Steunenberg assassination,
form chain of crimes with which efforts
are being made to connect the officers of
the Western Federation.
