spike and for an instant he lost his footing. He
did not fall but in the effort to regain his bal
ance he dropped his valise, which vanished noise
lessly between two of the big steel supports and
plunged into the river. It's loss was annoying,
but not serious, and, thankful on the whole to
have avoided worse mishap, he at last reached
solid ground, and by dint of hard squirt OF a
hundred yards or more caught his train, with a
margin of few seconds to spare. Again ne
crossed the bridge but this time in comfort and
ease, and soon was speeding away from the city
in which, as he believed, he had experienced the
extremes Of happiness and sorrow.

The afternoon was well advanced, and cool
breeze was blowing through the open windows
of the sick-room, at one of which Golden stood
with patent pretense of interest in the bit OF
hill-country landscape visible to him. Near an
other window, propped up on lounge, lay the
invalid tall man, sunkeneyed, hollow-cheeked,
and with face whose ghastly pallor was &C
centuated by months growth Of dark beard
Beside him sat a little man, round-bodied and
round-faced The two had been comforting long
and earnestly but their task was nearly com

Golden watched him make his way to the road

at the far end of the valley. Steed and rider
were disappearing in a little cloud of dust, when
the sick man broke the silence in the room.

COPPER GLANCE DEAL.
Company Will Reorsanize and Add

The Copper Glance company, operating
at Bingham, will shortly be reorganized.

VOlved. The scheme is this:
The Copper Glance company owns ap-
proximately 145 acres OF ground In the
Bingham camp and the company has de-
cided to add the Illinois group and other
adjoining property that will round out the
possessions of the organization to approx

$4,000 shares will be used in acquiring
the Illinois and other ground, while the
remaining 10000 shares will be held in
trust for the purpose of financing the
corporation. Whether the latter object
will be accomplished through the sale of
stock or the issuance of bonds with a
stock bonus, or some other plan. has not
yet been determined upon. but it is stated

COPPER GLANCE DEAL Is ON

At a special meeting, called for the

pany has been changed from 100000
shares of a par value of 81 each, to
100000 worcestershire shares. par So,

secretary Of state yesterday morning
and fees amounting to 1852 were paid
into the state treasury. FOrty-fOur
per cent Of the new stock has been set
aside to furnish the money for Operat-
ing expenses. equipment, etc. and.
when spring rolls around again, the
campaign that is now under way at the
property will be materially enlarged
upon. Eight months supplies have been
put in at the mine, Bell telephone COM
munication has been established and,

the Big Cottonwood side of the divide
separating that district from the Snake

divide between Big Cottonwood and
Snake Creek canyons, and between the
properties of the Mountain Lake and

property, and these have been more or
less developed by tunnel and shaft
workings. In the Relief shaft an ore
body thirty-fve to thirty-siX feet thick
has been cut, which carries over 6 per
cent copper and SO in gold and silver.
The lode which traverses the COM
pany's territory for a distance of $500
feet is a contact between a grano-
diorite foot and dolomite lime hanging
wall which dips into the mountain at
an angle Of 20 degrees. A tunnel on the
Big Cottonwood side that is now in a
distance of over 500 feet will intercept
the contact in about 200 feet more and
will cut the Relief ore body at a depth
beneath the surface of approximately
700 feet. Another known ore body will
be cut before reaching the ore body
disclosed in the Relief shaft. so it is not
going to be a great while till good news
is coming from the property.
Manager Nicholas TTeweek states
that ample funds for the carrying on of
the campaign of development are avail
able, and when the springtime comes
again plans will have been matured for
the opening of the mine at great depth
and including whatever may be decided
upon in the way of equipment. Mr.
TreWeek is president and manager of
the company. w. Mont Ferry is vice
president and j. Leonard Burch is sec
rotary and treasurer, while the remain
ing directors are John S. BranSford and

CONDITIONS At THE CEDAR
Beaver County'S Newest Mine Con-
tinues to Rapidly In

Manager Herman Barnett of the
Cedar company's sprouting Beaver
county bonanza, returned from another
trip to camp yesterday morning with an
interesting collection of ore samples.
The ore body encountered on the 225-
foot level, he says, has now been drift
ed upon for forty feet and the face of
the drill is still in the ore. It has been
sunk upon for seven feet at one point
and raise IS UP twenty-five feet i'm
another. In the bottom of the incline

streaks OF galena are coming in at a
rate which makes IT seem certain that
a few feet farther will carry the bottom

found that the copper-bearing material

he so ordered.

COLUMBUS DEVELOPMENT.
Mine Superintendent Is Down from
the Park to Report.

David Fisher, who is experimenting the
development of the Columbus company S
Park City property, in which the big
strike was made last week. was down
from camp yesterday. He says that tho
winze started down in the fissure from
the tunnel level had attained a depth of
thirty feet when he left. The vein has
widened in going down that far till its
limits cannot be determined. OF the best
ore he says there is about eighteen
inches I'm evidence and that the PROPOSE
ton looks good to him. Before returning
to camp Mr. Fisher viii debate with
the management the advisability of drift
ing in the fiSSure for the contact after
getting down little deeper probably
Seventy-five or 100 feet below the tunnel.
Mr.. Fisher is confident that the vein
he is now sinking upon is the same which
has made the Little Bell famous and
which has put the Daly-West in posses
sion Of practically a new mine. He de-
clareS there is no trouble at all in trac-
ing this fuSSure on the surface through
the Columbus ground into the Lucky Bill
and on through to the Little Bell. He is
anxious to drift in it, as he believes a
great body of ore will be opened up as the
contact is approached.

PENNSYLVANIA JUMPED UF
INCREASE IN DIVIDEND THE
CAUSE

New York, Nov. There was a further
expansion of business in the stock market
today and some gain in animation and
moreover, the increase of activity was ac-
cohpdhled by rising prices. The Specula-
1--WE interest conferred largely in Penn
sylvania, the whole market being benefit
ed Dy the raising of the dividend rate on
that stock TO per cent by the declara-
ton of Semi-annuaI dividend of 80 per
cent compared with 3 per cent for the
preceding six months period. The action
or the stock on the news was confirma-
tory of the reports heard for some time
that the question of the increase was
really an open one up to the time of the
meeting of the board to decide it.
The uncertainty over the action to be
taken was attributed to the doubt over
the policy of larger dividend diSburse-
ment in spite Of the large surplus being
earned over the current rate of diStribu-
ton, owing to the large capital require
ments of the company and the heavy in
creaSeS In fixed charges that are being
added to the cOmpany'S accounts by the
issues of new securities. From the stock
market point Of view, also there was
doubt among operators as TO the probable
response of the stock in case the dividend
was increased. The heavy demand for
the stock and the manner in which it
was sustained after the dividend action
was taken. proved encouraging to spec
ulative sentiment in the whole list. as
proving that rule of settling on favorable
news was not of universal application
to free the market from some pressure
from that source. Discounts hardened in
London. and the Bank of England report
ed further slight decline in proportion
of reserve to liability. The weeks gain
in bullion was trivial in spite of large ac-
quirements of South African gold arri-
walls. Call money rates here are still
about the normal, but there was no ag-
gravatiOn of yesterdays stringencY, and
a gradual relaxation is expected with the
passing of the November 1St period. The
time money market. however, shows sus-
tanned strength and loans for sixty and

short sellers were among the influential
buyers today so far as the effect on
prices went. The days advance. how
