RICH SHIPMENT OF
MAZUMA HILLS ORE
Manager Bischof in Salt Lake to At
tend the Marketing OF Fine
Gold Ore.

There Is at least one Seven
Troughs organization that believes in
sending out to the world some sub
stantial evidence of the character of
ore developments within its lines,
and that is the Mazuma Hills, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. General Man
ager Bischof arrived in Salt Lake
Tuesday morning from the Seven
Troughs district, and is expecting a
car of Mamma Hills ore in the local
market at any hour. The MaZuma
Hills company is one of the most
faithful of Nevada gold ore shippers,
but as the organization is a very
close corporation, it is not often that
the world hears of it's doings.
Mr. Bischof very reluctantly stat
ed Tuesday morning that the car

$500 in gold, while five tons will not

ROUND MOUNTAIN Is
MAKING BIG STRIDES.
Rapidly Approaches Front As Pros
porous Milling Camp-Out-
put Increasing.

That Round Mountain is making
great strides toward the front as a
gold milling camp is indicated by ad-
vice received by Louis D.Gordon con-
corning operations and developments
of the Round Mountain Mining com
pany. j. X. Davis. president of the
company. writes that the mill clean
up for March ran close to $4,000,
the ore milled since the 5th of the
month having averaged SIS ton.
Concerning developments in the mine
he says:
We have continued both east and
west drifts on the 350-foot level. The
east drift is out now about so feet,
the west drift about 10 feet. In the
east drift we have nine feet of ore
that is milling about $40 ton. In
the west drift We are mining about
nine feet of ore that averages $l2 a
ton. We have no hanging wall yet
in sight. We have made raise from
the 400 level and have at that point
nine feet of ore that average $40.
Our shaft is down now about 40 feet
The most important development
that has taken place in the mine in
the last year is in the crosscut into
the hanging wall from the 70-foot
level east The drift has been ex-
tended about 240 feet east of No.3
shaft We had been following for
about 100 feet a small seam of ore
which showed occasional colors. A
erosscut into the vein is now in nine
feet of ore averaging S ton and
the hanging VI has not yet been
reached. This discovery is of great
importance IN the mine 1t will only
be neeeessafs low to eS end our 1875

OF the exceedingly plain speaking in
this hook. in which scores of COM
panies are termed swindles and
frauds. il seems rather surprising
that in the seven years. of its publ
cation not one libel suit has been
brought into court, though many
have been threatened. In fact the
author of the Copper Handbook has
turned the tables on some .of his
critics by placing a few of them in
prison, for their frauds upon the in
yesting public.
The price of the Copper Handbook
is So. and the selling plan USED is
absolutely unique in the book trade.
For five years past Mr.. Stevens has
sent his book. all carriage charges
prepaid. without a penny payment in
advance, 10 any person in any part
of the world. on one weeks approval,
subject TO return If unsatisfactory.
II speaks well for the book that only
about one copy in 80 has been re-
turned. and well for the honesty of
average human nature that only
about one man in 80 keeping the
book has failed TO pay for It.. On
these unusual terms anyone inter-
ested in copper can well afford to
send to Mr.. Stevens for copy of

Mr.. Sherard has just returned home

PEssIMIsTIC ABOUT COPPER.
JAY y. Graves of CRANKY, However,
Reports Record Shipments.

The outlook in the copper mar
ket is such that we are not anticipate
ing any startling advance over the
present quotations. said Jay p.
Graves, general manager of the Gran
by smelter. in an interview at Spo-
kane. Wash, recently.
The prospects for an improve
ment IN the prevailing conditions are
not bright. While the exact figures
are not yet obtainable, the record of
the CRANKY for March will show that
more than 100000 tons of ore were
smelted in the month, the average be-
ing about 5000 tons daily. This is
the largest tonnage of ore handled
in any month in the history of the
smeltec.
THE ore is of quality classed Sat
isfactorily, paving under favorable
conditions. We are making some
money, but not much. with copper at
about Is y cents a pound. That we
are able to operate at a profit under
the existing market conditions is be-
cause of the large tonnage and pro-
portionate decrease in the cost of pro-
duetior.
THE reduction in the price of ma
terials and the adjustment of the
wage scale make il possible for us TO
operate the smelter at a small profit
instead of having to let the plant lie
idle at loss. There are fixed
charges that have TO be met whether
the smelter Is running or closed.
When not In operation these eX-
penses represent dead loss. We
might run the smelter at loss and
suffer less financially than to keep it
closed down.
Unless there is a general resump-
ton of activity in the lines that make
demond for copper in the immedi-
ate future. copper will not advance
much IN price. The extent of the de-
mand for copper depends on the
amount of construction under way,
in which the metal is used The in
stallat.on of new telephone systems.
electrical plants, railways and the
erection of large buildings are the
chief enterprises that figure in the
consumption of copper.

II is evident that most important
strike, with probabilities that 1t will

brief mention of II as follows:

company, and William Lloyd, gen.

samples which fairly glittered with
precious metal. The ore was stated
to be very similar TO that found at

greatest values were found

II. Godbe. during the day, reluctant
ly acknowledged that brief word had
been received from camp to the eff
feet that parallel ledge had been
opened in the property and that it
looked we'll. The letter, however, in
cluded an admonition to say nothing
about II until time had given better
idea of what it would amount to.
Il understand that some very fine
ore has been encountered in a par
allel vein to that in which the mine
has been made said Mr.. Godbe, but
you know how these things go. For
all | know the ore may not have
lasted a shift. Ii might be all right
to call 1t "A discovery, but to desig-
nate 1t as a strike might be alto
