MADE GOOD CLOSE
ON WOBBLY MARKET
FAVORABLE POINTS

Nevada Consolidated and cumber-
land Ely Jared better yesterday in
the trading than did most OF the
list. These two stocks closed strong
at the high figure of Monday, al
though during the day considerable
trading. which gave hint OF the ele.
ment of profit taking. sent the prices
a little lower at times. On the rally
at the close. however, the entire mar
ket was in better form.
Utah Copper's announcement of ex-
cellent dividend so soon after GET
ting its full equipment at work is
certain TO attract new attention TO
the low cost producers, for Utah's
dividend is not only remarkable be-
cause of coming so early In the act

cause of the fact that its copper has
been marketed at the low tide mar
ket figures. Any new interest made
in the low cost producers is bound TO
have good effect upon prices OF Ne

can be made In this respect and in re-
spect To large ore reserves blocked

From Yerington Mr.. HUMPHREYS
took run into Fairview and had a
look through the Nevada Hills. He
expressed the opinion that the mine
vas big one and that 1t would go
10 the deep. The only thing that
surprised him was that the mine had
not been opened to a depth of at
least .000 by this time. He added.
though. that the faulting system had
been learned and It had been prac-
tieally proved that the ores would go
to the deep. Suiphides are already
IN evidence. and. now that the man
agemeEt has decided to pound the
shaft down. he looks for disclosures
that viii be little short of sensational

~ like the looks OF the Fairyiew
district said Mr HUMPHREYS, and.
while the Nevada Hills is the one big
mine of the camp at the present time,
I am sanguine that several big prop
critics vii eventually be made there.
I was told of leases in the camp that
were doing well and by and by the
companies are sure to get down to
business and make bonanzas of what
are nov only good prospects.
