RETURNS HOME
Dodges Talk on Merger Mat
tiers, Discusses Crops and
Eastern Markets.

Jacob r. Bamberger. president of the
DAILY West Mining company, the Ontario,
DAILY and few other big propositions in
the Park. returned from a more than six
months stay in New York. Sunday even
ing, and was at his offices greeting friends
and business associates yesterday morn
ing. In the afternoon meeting of the
directors Of the DAILY West company was
held. but no business of a character to
interest the public was so far as could
be learned, transacted.
Mr.. Bamberger skillfully parried every
question fired at him that had any bear
ing on the big mergers with which his
name and companies have been connected
for months. pleading that there was moth
ing to talk about at the present time.
Concerning market conditions and the
slump that followed the stand taken by
the president and the commission toward
the railroad combines. Mr.. Bamberger said
that while some hard knocks had been
suffered by SPECTATORS and operators,
they had all taken their medicine with
good grace. The shaking UP, he consid-
cred, had come at an OppOrtune time, had
matters gone on as they were going it
would not have been a great while till
results would have been more disastrous
and far-reaching in their effects on the
business of the country As il was he
felt that the atmosphere had been greatly
clarified and that the business of the
country would run along in much safer
channels for a long time to come.
The trend of legislation to prevent over
capitalization of railroads and other indus
trial enterprises would. in a great meas
ure, cut out the speculative elements in
these classes of stocks and cause the
speculative world to give more attention
to mining
"But even here" said Mr.. Bamberger
"the elements of chance are to be and
are being reduced to a minimum. The
value of mines can never, of course, be
accurately determined by inventory. as
are stocks of goods. machinery. railroads
and equipment, but the investor in min
ing securities is all the time becoming
more sane and cautious and the standing
of the industry is being elevated in cor
responding ratio. There is still a great
deal of -wild-catting, and I suppose there
will continue TO be. but the east is learn
ing the business of mining rapidly and
any proposition that bears the stamp Of
legitimacy can find ready consideration.
The upheavai of the past few months.
think. will materially aid the mining in
dustTy. But I look for a quiet stock mar
ket for the next few months. Government
reports show that no less than GO acres
of winter wheat have already been aban-
doned as worthless. owing TO the Iateness
of the season. This and other discourag
ing crop reports is bound to have its eff

stocks and. until the cereal production Of
the country is pretty we'll figured out nc

An important strike Of carbonate ore
in the Surprise claim on Miller hill en-
phasizes the great prospects this district
has to make a wonderful record this
season. The operators of the " yoming
mine are so modest that few know OF
the 15,CG0 sacks of high grade ore stacked
at the foot of the hill near the Dutch
man mine ready for shipment. Even few
er know of the magnificent showing in
this old reliable producer, but those &C
quainted with the workings have stated
that the ore showings were greater than
at any time in the history of the mine.
During the past week the Surprise Min
ing company is said to have run through
the TOP of one of the great carbonate
ore bodies so well known to the Miller
hill, and the values in sight are stated
by one of the company as being not less
than $4,000. The stock of the company
has advanced about 40 per cent.
The Pacific company is energeticaly
driving a cross-cut on a large body of
sulphide ore which is good milling
proposition, and expects to encounter
body of rich carbonate ore, which the
conditions of the district show lie i'm
mediately above the sulphide.

the most of the winter at the old Dutch

New Ground Prospected.

No sooner had the company commenced
development last year than Mr.. Weimer,
appreciating the magnitude of the lode
and its rich naturalization, commenced a
systematic plan of prospecting and the 10
cation Of additional ground. his idea be-
ing to not only protect the lode being de-
veiOped in the company's ground from
cncroachment but to gather in as much
more Of il as his judgment dictated was
valuable and should be owned. Recently,
when the cOmpany's ground was sur
yeyed. Mr.. Meimer had all the locations
lie had made surveyed at the same time.
That being done. he proposed to his COM
pany that it take over the twenty-six
claims thus acquired and make them
portion of the compsny's property.
