LOCAL SHAREHOLDERS IN
NEWHOUSE HOLD MEETING

Local shareholders in the NeWhouse
Mines & Shelters corporation held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon for the purpose
OF discussing their status IN the company.
An impression got out during the day
that a hostile demonstration was to be
made and that dire threats had been made
as to what would happen in case the
management should refused permission to
see the books. examine the mines etc;
all of which. of course, was buncombe.
81 am not authorized to talk for the
matter" said one of the stockholders who
was present. but it will do no harm to
explain that there is no hostility against
the company or its management in the
ranks of those who participated. We
believe that nearly, if not quite. one
sixth of the stock in the Newhouse COM
pany is held by Salt Lake and Utah
men, without counting Mr.. Newhouse and
his close associates. and we feel that
such a strong interest is entitled to rep
resentatiOn on the company's board of
directors 1t was decided at the meet
ing that the matter should be taken up
with Mr.. NewhOuse upon his return from
the east, TO see If he Will not give the

MAMMOTH POSTS
MARCH DIVIDEND
Has Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars Worth of Ore
Ready to Ship.

The directors of the Mammoth Mining
company met yesterday afternoon and
posted the usual monthly dividend of $780,
900. or cents a share on the capital
stock of the corporation. Books will close
on the 18th and payment will be made
on the 18th.
While the company is not pretending to
ship ore at the present time, there are
about 5000 tons on the dump at the prop
erty ready to send out; the bins are also
full to overlooking and great reserves are
held in the mine that cannot be touched
until the market begins to absorb the
ore again.
Another thing that is worthy of NEIL
ton is the fact that in addition to the
100000 or 100000 worth OF regular grade
ore that Is now available. and much of
IL ready to load on the cars, there is an
accumulation of about thirty-fiVe tons of
stuff in the mine which, il Ii was over
in some of the much-boosted camps of
Nevada, would cause such redhot COM
ment in the papers that the glow would
set the sagebrush afire for a radius of
100 miles and cause the formation of a
81, 100000 company on every twenty acres
within a month. This ore is worth mor.s
than 5000 a ton in gold and, when a
nfty-tOn carload of IL has been made up,
it will be marketed. They have not got
five, ten or twenty feet of this kind of
ore in the Mammoth, but they are TAX
ing il out fast enough to make 1t pay

COPPER METAL SITUATION
is DECIDEDLY IMPROVED

A message over the Pollock private
wires quotes yesterdays Boston News
Bureau on the copper market as follows:
''F1rmness in the copper market is be-
coming more pronounced with electrolytic
at 13 cents, Inquiries from domestic buy
ers are increasing and these are being
followed up with good business. The
statistical position is found to be one of
encouraging soundness and some of the
big producers are so We'll sold up that
they have comparatively little free cop
per to offer even for May and June. Eu
rope has been sending over urgent orders
recently for round amounts and prime
grades of electrOlytic are very scarce UNI
der 13 cents. In fact holders have declined
to entertain propositions at that price.
THE situation shows decided improve
ment. Lake is held in some quarters at
13Z and the tendency of the market is to
harden. Spectators have recently been
exceedingly anxious to buy large quantf~-
ties, believing that the market is bound
to advance. Holders offer cautiously, and
a few more big orders woufd soon give
prices substantial lift. Stocks all around
are moderate and consumers are but
slightly supplied.

CAPACITY OF
TIhTIC SHELTER
Four Lead Furnaces Instead of
Two Have Been Definitely
Decided Upon.
COPPER TO BE HANDLED
PLANTS ARRANGEMENT SUG-
GESTS BIG SUPPORT.

According to information that sfted
through reliable channels yesterday, the
Jesse Knight smelling plant at Tintic is
going TO be a much more pretentieus in
stitution than was originally intended. In
stead of two lead furnaces. with ca
pacity of 400 tons daily, it has been de-
cided to add two more furnaces. thus
giving tine works a capacity of 500 tons
per day IN the lead department. Plans
ana specifications FOR two additional fur-
naces have been pre- pared and bidders Will
get whaek at them today. The pur-
pose OF the 1intic Smelling company,
which is the name of the Knight cOrpO-
ration, is 10 get these additional furnaces
in commission as soon as possible after
the blowing in of the first two, which is
scheduled for some time in May But
this is not the only sign that the new
company is planning to become factor

Howard P. Saunders, constructing eng1-
neer for the company. stated yesterday
that the contract had just been awarded
TO the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery
company for the copper blast furnace
building. which is TO be 44X120 feet in
size and planned with "a view to quick
enlargement. The furnace that is to go
into this building will have an initial
capacity of 125- tons day and it VIII be

means that ore viii begin moving to the
works by possibly the first OF the COM
ing month.
All of this means that. in the beginning,
it was planned only to install smelling
works that would make Uncle Jesse
Knight and his associates independent of
the custom smelters. and that now some
one else must have jumped in and made
representations that has made the en-
largement of the enterprise a necessity

BULLOCK MINE
MAKING GOOD
East Tintic Proposition is
Opening Up Ore Bodies at
80 Feet Deep.

B. II. Bullock. manager of the Bullock
Mining company's Tintic properties, came
in from camp yesterday morning to look
after business on this end of the line.
He states that drift is being run south
westerly in the vein on the 150-foot level
and that the last thirty feet has been
showing three feet of nice copper-silver
ore carrying a little lead and gold. This
will be drifted in for some little distance
before stopping is commenced and, if it
should Widen out, as seems likely. there
Is no telling when drifting will be dis
continued. The ground, he says, is look
ing fine and there is no question but what
a great deal of ore will be mined from
the shoot now being opened up.
AT the same time a cross-cut is being
pushed out for the Lady Aspinwall vein,
which parallels the other, and connections
with that will soon be made 1t is known
to be rich down TO the seventy-fiye-fOOt
mark, and when it is opened on the $50
level it will also be productive of fine
ore, and the output of the property will
then begin to make folks sit up and take
notice
'Since Uncle Jesse Knight cut loose on
the east side of Tintic" said Mr.. Bull
lock, that portion of the camp has beer
striding to the front at a rapid pace. No
one used to think IL amounted to much
but opinion is now changing. and well it
may, for there are going to be a number
of mines more made in that section Of
the district during the present year

before it was possible to get it started on
original lines 1t looks now as though
some of the. producers who have been
trying to get square deal at the hands
Of the trust had finally realized the
hopelessness OF the thing and had gone
to Jesse Knight and his associates and
offered to make it worth their while to
go into the smelling business right Any
how, the Knight smelter proposition is
beginning to look like a real thing, with
real mining men and real mining money
behind it and, it might be added, there
will be real ore available with which to
feed il when 1t starts and keep it going.
II is also safe thing to say that it's
patrons will save anywhere from 81 to $40

to be up against at the present time

STRONG COMPANY WILL
MINE IN SAWTOOTH RANGE

Eastern, local and Idaho mining men
have just organized the Alta Copper COM
pany, with capital of 100000 shares. par
81, to operate lode and placer claims in
Idaho Articles of Incorporation will be
filed within a day or two.
The company is one that was promoted
by Ernest r. WOolley of this city. and it
is evident that he has not only secured a
valuable property. but that he has organ
lied with a strong bunch of operators.
The company Owns six lode and eight
placer claims in the Sawtooth range,
about forty miles north of Mackay. The
lodges carry copper. gold and silver and
the placer claims are also considered ex-
tremely valuable.
L. w. Ott a prominent and wealthy
manufacturer of Indianapolis, is presi-
dent; Z. r. Woolley is vice president and
+. r. WOolley secretary and treasurer.
These, with II. z. Gilbert a merchant of
Mackay, and n. A. Just. president of the
bank at Shelly, Ida, make up the board
of directors.
Plans are already being made for the
prosecution of an extensive campaign OF
development at the properties, which
have just been mined enough to demon
strate thei' value.

Boston, March 17.-After a quiet OPEN
ing the demand for stocks increased and
by the close the traders and shorts were
scrambling to buy them. North Butte and
Copper Range rallied easily and are the
best stocks to trade in at present. The
Globe shaft of the Copper Range is near
ing the lode and something definite should
be heard from it within a month. New
York people expect that if they strike
a good copper-bearing lode that 1t will
increase the value of the stock at least
ten points ROyale and Allouez reports
were both disappointing and the Mohawk
showing will be equally bad. This will
tend to divert attention and buying to
the Butte stocks, and to Copper Range
