Further Copper Promotions.
Wall street Is expecting to hear of fur
ther big promotions in copper mines. John
d. Ryan, managing director of the Anal
gan1ated Copper company and his bust
ness associate, Thomas F. Cole, who have
recently fioated the Greene Cananea $780,
100000 copper company, have under con-
sideration plans for a still larger COM
pany to take over copper mines IN the
Lake district. Predictions are made that
the copper metal will sell at still higher
prices It will be remembered that tho
last copper boom in this country was
oyerdone and that investors, especially
those in New England. lost large sums
of money in copper stocks. In some quar-
ters of Wall street conservatism in cop
per mine promotions is again being
preached. But these are boom days in
copper. A copper man out in Michigan
saws that In these days of "a cent cop

basis and not making money is a de-
cidedly dubious proposition. High prices
for copper have made bonanza mines of
properties that were not in that class
a year ago, and have made highly profit
able properties that were merely of a
speculative character few months ago.
The earnings of the Calumet and Hecla
are at the rate of $15,000.000 yearly at
present, which on a 10 per cent basis,
would make the stock worth $500 a share
instead of Its present price around 5000
The Michigan man says that the Osceola
Quincy and Copper Range earnings are
in the millions, and even the Tamarack
which has had a hard pull for the last
year, because of increased depth and les
sened values, rendered worse by a fire
that greatly restricted production, is maxi
ing handsome profits. Even the Trinity,

MANY EYES ARE TURNING
TO NEW WONDER CAMP

Goldheld, January 1e.-tSpecial. )-Won-
der. one of the latest of the Nevada
camps, has been holding the center of
the stage in the mining world FOR the
last two months. The immense rich ore
bodies that are disclosed on the surface
for miles, the sensational development
work going on in the big properties, the
enormous prices paid for Wonder pros
poets, show that Wonder is without
parallel as a mineral field.
"Diamondfeld' Jack Davis, one of the
biggest operators and mine owners In Me-
vada, who owns many of the big proper
ties in the Goldheld district, has just re-
turned from a trip to wonder, where he
acquired several very promising proper
ties. lie Is qualified to speak knowingly
upon mining camps and mines for dur
ing many years he has been identified
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-01-20

with numerous successful mining achieve
ments throughput the west and possesses
fund of practical and technical knowl-
edge. lie has watched in the most care
ful manner the origin, growth, failures
and successes of mining camps, and his
statements regarding Wonder shows,
therefore, be considered with more than
passing interest.
lie states that, In his opinion, Wondor
excels every camp in Nevada except
Goldheld, and for a similar stage of de-
velopment even surpasses the greatest
gold camp the world has ever known"
Mr.. Davis says that the showings at
Wonder entirely excuse the enthusiasm
which exists In those who have been on
the ground The known mineralized area
covers an extent of twenty-four miles,
and the widely spread discoveries entire
~ preclude the possibility of Wonder be-
coming one-mine camp.
The first locations in the camp were
made the latter part of last April, when
rich float, carrying thousands of ounces
OF silver and good gold values, was found.
The rush to the camp took place in June,
and within four months following the
original strike no less than sixteen strikes
of pay mineral were made. Wonder is To-
Gated in Churchill county about twenty
miles north of the we'll known Fairview
district, and 100 miles east of Virginia
City, home of the world renowned Com
stock. 1t may be interesting to note, in
passing. that the Wonder ores resemble
closely the surface groupings of the Com
stock mine, and in view of the fact 2
other characteristics of the two localities
are similar, 1t is not unreasonable to pre-
sumo that the Wonder district is one pos
sessing a mineral belt fully as large and
as valuable as the Comstock, and even
greater, judging from the astounding
showing at present.

This bill, No. 1913, may be considered
as one OF the most statesmanlike
measures, SO far as education is con-
cernel, that has been enacted in many
a day. It will do more to clarity the
work of higher education in North
Dakota than all other measures.
Senate Bill No. sc, providing for the
redistribution of the one mill tax, we
believe, has been very serious mis-
take. It does not appear to us that
any measure which will seriously Grip
pie the leading educational institution
of our state Is wise or statesmanlike.
We can readily appreciate the de-
sire of other institutions to particf-
pate in thi smill tax, but cannot be-
lieve that the large amount which
has been taken from the income Of
the state university can be justified
upon educational or thoroughly patri-
otto grounds. We believe, however,
that it is the intention of the state
to provide for the growth of it's state
university and have faith to believe
that IL an error has been made by
this legislature 1t will be corrected
at the next session.
The only measures which failed to
become laws which were of real merit
were: House Bill No. 80, Senate Bill
No. 80 and House Bill No. AZ. The
first was a measure granting aid to
rural and small graded schools Of
high standard. The second measure
provided for the planting OF trees and
shrubs upon school grounds, and the
third measure was designed to take
the election of county superintendent
out Of politics. While it is to be re-
gretted that these measures have
failed, still we are not discouraged.
The reason for the failure of the legis-
lature to provide aid to the rural and
small graded schools are many, the
principal ones being the objection Of
the members from the rural districts
to the standard which was fixed in Or
der to receive the aid; second, the
very great demand for money, and,
third. the fear that this aid might, IN
time, become SO great as to swamp
the state treasury. We shall hope,
however, for better things another
time. The opposition to Senate Bill
No. 80, providing for the planting Of
trees upon school grounds, appears to
us to beabsolute1y without weight,
when we consider that this legislature.
i'll another act, is providing for an
increased bounty to farmers who
plant number of acres of trees.
House Bill No. AZ was an amend
ment to the constitution providing for
a change in the choosing of county
superintendent. The sentiment OF
North Dakota is apparently not yet
ripe for taking the Office Of county
and state superintendent out of poll
tics.
But. when all is said, 1t must be
admitted that the tenth legislative
assembly has been most generous to
the cause of education In North Da-
kOta
