Newspapers of the west seem to be rails
ing great hue and cry over the fact that
the Goldfeld Consolidated, the big mining
company in Goldfeld, has got into the
clutches of Wall street Some papers state
that the Morgans now control the Gold
field Consolidated All this talk arises
from the fact that some time ago. when
the Goldfeld Consolidated needed some
money to take over the combination mine,
Senator Nixon, the president of the COM
pany, borrowed 81 600, 600 from B. NJ. Bar
UGH, a member of the New York Stock Ex-
change. Senator Nixon wanted to pay
Mr. Baruch a large premium on this loan.
but the New York capitalist said that that
was not his way of doing business. He
was willing to lend the money at the
normal interest rate. Senator Nixon gave
Mr.. Baruch a call on 100000 shares OF
Goldfeld Consolidated stock at $3.50. The
stock sold as high as Sill. but lately 1t has
been selling considerably below the price
of the call The loan falls due this sum-
mer. The company has more than enough
in it's treasury to pay off the loan.

The belief grows that concessions will
be made in copper prices One recognized
authority says: I'm this wonderful era OF
new construction, the demand for timber,
iron and copper has kept on increasing by
leaps and bounds and we are prone at
times to think that this period Of con-
struction will continue indefinitely. It Is
well to bear in mind that these huge con-
struction works are paid for out of the
accommodations of wealth, and matter
how huge those accommodations We are apt
10 run into periods Of considerable dura-
ton in which those accommodations appar
emily are exhausted. Sometimes this rev.
citation is accompanied by a crisis and
sometimes by mere halt. Looking
abroad today ii would seem as though
there is no occasion for anything more
than a halt. There is very little anywhere
In the world to make for any serious loss
OF confidence. 1t is possible, therefore,
that artificial determination of the
price of copper might be entirely success
full for long time and certainly there is
great temptation to attempt something
of the kind In a minor way one OF the
effects OF having the price of copper too
high is to be seen in the loss of position of
this country in supplying the worlds mar
kets with copper. In April the net exports
of copper were In the neighborhood OF
