The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-08-11

A year ago at this time 1t was stated
that Goldfield had seen its best day;
that Bullfrog, deserted after a busted"
boom would recover slowly, if at all,
and that even the bottom of Tonopah's
deepest mine had been found.
Although these pessimistic predic-
lions were not justified there is to be
noted a remarkable contrast between
conditions in Nevada as they are now
and as they were a year ago.
During the summer of 1905 Goldfeld's
future was by no means assured. There
were many prospects but no mines. The
camp had been turned down hard by
several experts and some engineers.
1t was believed by many that the veins
would not go down, nor was there any
conception of the many outlying pay
able areas now so promising. The adj
vocates of Goldfeld were at this time a
year ago distinctly on the defensive
when the camp was discussed
Tonopah is now shipping 1000 tons
of ore a week and Goldfeld half as
much-and every pound shipped is high
grade ore, while very large reserves of
milling grade are being developed. In
spite of the hot weather there is no APP
parent cessation of activity, though
such was predicted a few weeks ago.
The men who AVE become wealthy
have left to return with cool weather.
Others cannot afford to leave, because
strikes, discoveries and opportunities
are of too frequent occurrence.
During the summer of last year Bull
frog after an extraordinary boom suf-
fered a reaction-or was perhaps re-
lieved by it. Since the cool weather of
last fall there has been in that district
a development of great mines that has
no paraIIel in recent mining history.
Properties which a year ago had barely
the prospect holes required to hold title,
are now to be equipped with mills of
100 stamps, or more, on the recon-
mendation of competent engineers. Ac-
tive development is going on in more
than a score of properties. and outlying
sections discovered this year are being
opened with much promise of success.
The district has before ii an assured
great prosperity as the result of devel-
opment which began in earnest last
October and November.
Searchlight has had an assured fu-
ture for two years past and develop
ment in that district continues to in
crease steadily, though along more eau
tious lines than in the newer districts.
The older properties nave been further
opened with success and the payable

UNITED COPPER DEAL.

troll of Mining Properties.

The terms on which control OF the
United Copper company is TO be taken
over BY the Standard Oil interests have
been virtually agreed upon. says the
Boston News Bureau The truce was not
brought about by direct negotiations be-
tween II II. Rogers, president OF the
Amalgamated. and F Augustus Heinze
president of the United Copper company
The negotiations have been conducted by
parties affiliated with the Standard oil
company. A syndicate was formed and
its efforts have been crowned with sue
cess.
Heinze has agreed to part with control
OF the United Copper company at a very
substantial price. Weeks ago he told his
friends that they could safely hold the
stock for at least 70. and he has made
good: the stock has gone two points over

interests have paid for the stock is not

COPPER MARKET.
Walkers Letter Sees Little to Alarm

George l. Walker in his weekly copper
letter In the Commercial says In regard
to the copper market:
No Strength Lost.
The copper market Is dull but the
metal situation has not lost ono whit OF
ts strength. Lake and elcctrolytic are
producing 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 1sh TO Is
cents. II report can be believed and much
has been made OF this by certain consum-
ing interests who are trying hard to start
decline In prices. II 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 1S11 cents.
No Decrease in Consumption.
Fully SO 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 remain
ing 70 per cent VIII be sold before II is
ready for delivery. There Is no sign OF
any decrease I'm consumption, even the
sheet copper market, which already re-
fleets the evil effects OF abnormally high
prices first, Is now unprecedentedly
strong and active. Careful inquiry fails
TO bring to light d single instance where

WORKING torce, expansion. rather OelnB

Prompt Deliveries Urged.
Consumers are urging prompt or ad-
vance deliveries on all contracts made
two or three months ago. and no instance
Is heard OF where sellers have been asked
to delay shipments This is mentioned
because 1t is a sort OF weather vane of
the trade, the first always suggesting to
the producer that the volume OF business
is exceeding, and the latter that II Is
falling short of the earlier expectations
of the manufacturers. There has been no
oycr-buying or speculation by consumers.

'Thc daily quotations OF the New York
Metal exchange. which have conveyed
the impression that two or three cuts had
been made In the price of copper recent
ly, are misleading. No actual sales of

change for a long period-not for years
some assert The Quotations given out
daily are simply the results OF an in
tcresting guessing contest which has been
organized by a committee having few or
no other duties So far as is learned the
committee mentioned Is the only active
function OF the exchange. and but for the
