HE|NzE EMBARRASSED
IN BINGHAM CAMP
OHIO COPPER co. NOT SO WELL
SUPPLIED WITH FUNDS AS
THOUGHT-IS GOOD PROPERTY

Commenting on the straits of F..
Augustus Heinze, the New York Com
mercia makes the following inter-
esting commentary concerning one of
his interests:
"F. Augustus Heinze is a controll-
ing factor in the Ohio Copper COM
pany in Bingham, which has been
carrying on a campaign of develop
ment during the present year and
which has a new concentrating mill
with a capacity for treating 1000
tons of ore daily nearing completion.
The Ohio company is not as we'll
supplied with funds as many had been
led to suppose, and unless Mr.. Heinze
manages to get out of his entangle-
ments, it will become teporarily en-
barrassed in carrying its plans into
execution.
Mr. Heinze has regarded the Ohio
copper mine as being one of the val
liable propositions in Bingham and
his engineers, many months ago,
mapped out plan of development
along broad lines This included the
extension of the Mascot tunnel of
the Dalton & Lark mine into the
property of the Ohio company and
equipping it in a manner which, it
is claimed, will enable the produc-
tion of the copper at not to exceed
6 cents a pound.

MINING CONGRESS- MEETS
AT JOPLIN NEXT WEEK

The tenth annual session of the
American Mining congress, to be held
in Joplin, November 4, originated in
the west as the result of the hard
times ten years ago, and the organic
alton having gained several points, 1t
now asks for governmental depart
ment, believing that when the govern
ment is convinced that one-half of the
tonnage hauled by the railroads is the
direct result of mining, heed will be
given to their suggestions, as the only
national organization representing
the mining interests in the United
States.
All of its sessions except that of
1900, which was in Milwaukee, have
been held in the west, and while Jop-
lin fully appreciates the honor of en-
tertaining the 700 delegates of this
distinguished body of men, it also
realizes that her guests will find here
a mining camp unlike any other in
the world, so accessible, and so i'm
portant producer of zinc ore. The
visitors will find much to interest
them in the work being done both
underground and on the surface.
Here every phase of mining of vital
interest will be discussed by eminent
mining men, whose years of expert
ence, as we'll as practical work, give
their remarks unique value. The
Joplin district has over 500 mines:
500 miles of macadam roads. so miles
of interurban electric lines, and an
ideal climate.
Delegates to the congress have al
ready been appointed by the govern
ors of Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas,
Nevada, Nebraska and Kentucky

Property Changes Hands
Despite the Dull Times
Presumed General.
THE SURVEYORS ARE BUSY
Patentins Of Properties Going
Ahead..-Assayers Have Good
CuStOm...ASSeSSment Work.

Activity in mining interests as rep
resented in properties in Robinson
district is long way from being all
off. Other districts may be tied up
tight when it comes to transfers of
mineral ground, but not so here. On
the other hand there has been quite
little activity lately and several
properties have changed hands.
Reside the transfers of property
there is much work going on in
preparation for the patenting of
ground, symptom hard to beat in
a mining camp as demonstrating con-
fidence in its future and in the imme-
diate value of its holdings. Asked
Yesterday by News representative as
to the situation in the district with
"egard to new work in their line, Mil
lard & Son said they had their hands
full. 1--WE have some new surveys
to make and lot of patent work in
hand. The latter, in fact, is going
to keep us busy for some time.
Things might be more active in our
line in the district. perhaps, if the
stock and metal situation YVES clearer
but we have no ground for complaint
as matters stand. We are busy. and
that ought to be sumcient.'
Not only are the surveyors busy
but the assayers of the city are also
moving right along. Assessment
work, of which there is now good
deal under way in this and surround
ing districts, is helping them consid-
erably. for the reason that new
ground is being opened and that a
good deal of it is showing up values
about which the owners want to
know. The amount of assessment
work being done and the fact that
ground holders are almost without
exception going about the perform
ance of their annual labor in good
season to allow of completion before
the end of the year indicates that
there will be very little ground al
lowed to go by default.
OF transfers of property the fol-
lowing were found as matters of rec
ord at the court mouse yesterday:
T. F. Sanders and d. Brown have
transferred to James Doarn. for So
900, half interest in the Rarus
group of sixteen claims; half in
terest in the Rarus group of eight
claims, and a quarter interest in the
Lucky Guss group of ten claims, all
in Robinson district.
A. j. Stevens has transferred to
Mrs Carrie Nelson, for considera-
ton of 5000. an undivided one-third
interest in the Ithica, Chicora. OAR
win, Nina NJ, Leo. North Ridge.
Brinton and Try mining claims, Rob
'nson district.
w. T. Smith and Company have
transferred to w. T. Smith for a stat
ed consideration of $40, the Love-
lock claim, Robinson district.
Gust Kepler has transferred to d.
Brown and r. T. Sanders. for $500,
the Pinto group of~eight claims, this
district.

New York Pointers.

Walker Bros Stock Letter: New
York-The market today at the OPP
ening was steady and then developed
a good deal of strength. The traders
covered and prices made good gains.
In the middle of the day the market
was barely steady and then became
quite weak. All through the after
noon there was pressure and some
low records were made. Talk that
Pennsylvania needed lot of money
and rumors that they might reduce
their dividend caused selling. The
close was nervous and the tone of
the market was not good. We look
for a nervous market for the time
being.
Boston News Ticker says: Butte
The copper production of the Butte
mines steadied down to about q per
cent of normal and for the month of
October was about 9,975,225 pounds,
as compared with II ,S47,5OO for Sep
TENDER and 24,535,000 pounds for
month of August. East Butte and
Pittsburg and Montana and the La
Franc companies produced no copper
during the month and are now COM
pletely closed down.

A Caddy's Joke.

James Anderson, of the Scottish
American Golf Club smiled at a poor
player on the Van Courtlandt park
links in New York.
HE reminds me of a chap ! used
to know said Mr.. Anderson. This
chap played so badly that even his
caddies made butt of him. He got
ball badly bunkered one day, and
do what he would, he couldn't get it
out again. Whack, whack, whack,
he went, missing every time. After
half an hours work he wiped his wet
face with his handkerchief, and
turned despairingly to the caddy.
"'Hang it, he said, I have sried
all my clubs on this COMPOUNDED ball.
What on earth am l to do now?'
The cadd laughed harshly.
"'Give it swat wit yer bag he
said"

MINING, MARKETS AND METAL
. ssessssssssees
METAL AND STOCKS
BOTH LOOKING UP

There is more reason to speak
of the copper market on the up
grade than when it was going in
the opposite direction, and there
certainly is reason for congratu-
lation on the way that the metal
. is conducting itself. Over the
. wires yesterday came the news
. that copper in London has been
raised in price four pounds,
which means that the metal has
. advanced one more cent per
pound. Copper authorities
. think by the close of the year
the red metal will be located
safely at close to Is cents
. pound, and that the foundation
. for copper for an indefinite fu-
ture period will have been ar
ranged satisfactorily.
Another development yester-
. day that created great deal
. of favorable comment was the
. fact that money in New York
was much easier. For some time
. past money has been practically
buried somewhere in New York,
and those needing it did not hes
itate to bid 90 per cent for it.
Yesterday money varied some,
but ranged between Is and 40
per cent, easing up to the for
mer figure as the day advanced
to a close. Copper stocks are
among the strongest on the
. boards in the east, the advances
of the week being extremely
. gratifying. Confidence is also
returning elsewhere. Every one
. agrees that coppers are good
. buys at the present levels, and
. that it is not question of hav-
ing the money to spend, but of
. hustling it out to surround the
certificates while they are avail
. able at such figures as the pres
. emit

Aluminium for Electric Conductors

Consul f. w. Mahin, in writing
from Nottingham that the manufac-
ture of aluminium cables as electrical
conductors in place of copper has
actively begun in Great Britain, adds:
1.-THE high price of copper has led
to this. Aluminium, 1t is explained,
is an efficient substitute for copper
where space is not an important CON-
sideration; is lower In cost, needs
fewer poles for its support, and is less
affected by the atmosphere than cop
per. Three serious former disadvan-
tages are now said to have been over
come-the difficulty of procuring al
uminum in a reasonably pure state, of
drawing it into wire, and of making
satisfactory joints. The cables and
wires being made in this country are
covered with vulcanized bitumen
treated by Paterson's method, and
they are, it is claimed, not brittle at
low temperatures nor unduly soft at
high temperatures, which they would
meet with in ordinary use.

Messrs. Echman and Hutchinson at
Four Mile seem to have struck bo-
nanza. They have streak of ore
fully ten inches wide from which
samples run $o,804 per ton. Screen
ings from the hole pan $1,906, The
ore is on exhibition in Tenabo. The
owners have ordered sacks and eX-
pect soon to commence shipping.
The Moose company has drifted
and found it's vein at a depth of 100
feet. The ore is low grade except in
streaks, and runs about $12 to the
ton. At recent meeting of the di-
rectors. it was decided to continue
the shaft another 100 feet. Mr.. John
H. Bright has resigned as president
of this company and H. j. Graner-
holz was elected to fill the vacancy.
F. w Bowman, who is one of the
most enterprising mining men, has
entered this camp and has taken hold
