pledge from them to agree to sup
port and work for favorable action
on the bond issue to be submitted at
the next general election in April.
This really looks like there would be
something doing on the park before
La Junta is a month older. for no
real live taxpayer could possibly
have the temerity to oppose the bond
issue as it would not increase his
taxes over 80 cents per annum. and
no one but dead one would want
to look like that amount. Before
the next meeting Of the city council.
on February 4th. the park commits
sion hopes to secure a favorable ex-
preston Of opinion on the bond is

payers to guarantee approval OF q
SIC, 600 bond issue at the spring

In order to complete the PARK this
year il will be necessary u COM

February, and it will also be neces-
Iary To place the order for trees.

insure their arrival in time for

Rumors Are Persistent That Tin
tic Mine Will Soon Enter
Fold of Montanan.
STORY LACKS CONFIRMATION.
Yet the Belief Prevails That There is
Foundation for little Price
Mentioned.

Rumors have been persistent for some
of the Grand Central mine In the
Tintic mining district is likely to pass
to interests closely identified with the
Bingham Consolidated Mining & Smelt-
ing company. II has been impossible,
however up to date to get veritcn-
ton of this story. officials OF both con-
Germs are mum as oysters about it.
However. no one has heard them make
a very strenuous denial, and at the
same time they are careful not to adj
NIT anything.
The belief prevails though in certain
circles that there is some foundation
for all this talk and that the truth will
soon crop out. ] has been recalled
that Heinze engineers made an exami-
nation OF the Grand Central mine not
long ago, and while the content of their
respective reports has never been plac~
ed III the disposal of the public, it Is
about as certain as anything can be
that they did not turn the mine down.
They couldn't have done that very well
and maintained "A good reputation.
But there has been a whole lot Of
quiet buying of Grand Central stock
lately, and some of the wise men who
lean over the brass railing down at
the stock exchange every day declare
they have the tip dead straight that
the money necessary to make these
purchases has come from persons who
know q little about what is transpir-
ing on the inside" Nevertheless the
stock has been selling and there have
been buyers for il up to around "a 80
n share--which is quite a stiff advance
over the figures quoted just before the
holidays.
II the story going the rounds can be
relied on. it will cost about 81 a share
to get a controlling interest In the
Grand Central mine or the equivalent
of s1,0o0,000 for the entire property.
This amount of money would not be
eXorbitant, for the company is pay
ing dividends OF $1,000 per month, or
a, the rate of Is per cent on a million
dollar valuation. There are a whole
lot of Nevada properties held at q
higher figure than that and which holc
out no hope Of paying dividends fol
months to come.

HIGH COPPER PRICES.
As Boston Views Situation Regarding
Movement In Stocks.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 1S.-The situation
in the copper market continues a
source of qualification to the producers.
and prevailing level of price at about
25 cents per pound is generally looked
for during the coming year, The re-
cent advances in price have so far
caused no imitation in copper shares,
and investors are being widely advised
that an upward movement would be
entirely justified in view of all the
facts. The Unprecedented earnings of
the producing companies during the
year just past We're made upon the
basis of an average price of 1919 cents.
There is no apparent reason why these
earnings should not increase material
ly, and the public is quite likely to ac-
cept this view of the matter in the near
future
