AS the la dies have the privilege of choosing. not only the gentlemen who will act as their escorts but also the gentle men who may dance with them. the committee i1 charge of the dance to be given on New Years night have decided that the ladies must pay the expenses and that the gentlemen will be admitted free.

He has come here to attend to some business matters and will re main until after the annual meeting of the company Is held This meeting will take place early in January.
 Mir. Rose was asked if there is a possibility of the resumption of work Gt the mines within a short time
 We will resume work again at the mines when copper advances two cents more per pound" Mir. Rose re marked. We can ship copper at a reasonable profit at 15 cents per pound and as soon as the price ad- vances to that figure We will work our properties again
 Conditions throughout the east are growing better Mir Rose remarked. and he is of the opinion that it will be but a short time until matters again become normal. He is strong ly 0f the opinion that the copper mar kct will continue to grow better and that the price of the metal will ad- vance steadily until it reaches a figure at which the mining companies can take out their ore at fair profit

wire along each hedge which ended at the trigger of shot gun. A man going through the hole in the hedge was almost certain to discharge the gun and it was pointed directly along the hedge so that its discharge meant disaster to whoever was in the line of it. On several different occasions one of the guns was touched off and MT Reed has reason to believe that some body got the benefit of it. The scheme worked so effectively that the battery was finally reduced to one weapon.
 A few nights ago. however, someone who has been making a practice of raiding the orchard almost nightly got wise to the scheme and gently train ling up the wire. discovered the gun and detaching the wire from the trig ger carried off the weapon. Mir Reed has a strong suspicion of the identity of the man but rather than cause any trouble over the matter will let it rest and take no further action providing the gun Is returned to it's former place in the hedge within the next ten days.
 This idea of guarding an orange or chard with a shot gun may seem lit tie severe to the ordinary reader who has had no experience with orange thieves but Mir Reed estimates that his loss this fall through thieves alone has aggregated three hundred boxes and at the prices oranges are bringing just now. this means something in cash and measures however drastic to prevent loss through this source are certainly allowable.

OLD COMPANIES ARE
DROPPED BY EXCHANGE

Yesterday was ''house-eleaning day
on the stock exchange, and to celebrate
il the listing committee directed the re-
moval from the blackboard of ali
stocks represented by companies who
had failed to meet the requirements of
the rules adopted by the reorganfzed
institution regarding the payment of
listing fees. Among the stocks TO be
dropped were some of the real old
timers, including Boston Consolidated.
Bullion-Beck. DAILY. DAILY West. Onta-
rio. Mammoth and the Utah Mine COM
panies.
1t should be stated in justice to most
of these companies that their stocks
were listed in the early days of the old
exchange. when il was deemed advisa-
BILE to list the stocks, whether the COM
panies made application or not. But
last spring, when the old incorporated
body surrendered it's charter and be-
came an association, like the biggest
exchanges in the country. iron-clad
rules were adopted that no stock should
be formally called and dealt in unless
the listing fees were paid and the re-
quirements OF the rules were in all re-
spects complied with. The old compa-
MES were notified and plenty of time
was allowed them in which to come
through" good many of them did
so; those which did not were dropped
yesterday. as stated.
The exchange is now on splendid
working basis. and President James A
Pollock and the entire membership
stand ready to show that no exchange
in the world is operating under rules
that are more binding or better intend
ed TO protect the companies which the
exchange represents or the patrons of
the market. The Salt Lake Stock &,
Mining exchange is now recognized as
the peer of any similar Institution any
where. 1t is entitled to and proposes
TO command the respect of the invest
ing public, and while it is anxious TO
see every legitimate mining enterprise
listed and interests fostered, Ii will not
play any favorites in the matter of
listing. Under these conditions ii is be-
lieved that practically all of the old
companies will eventually see things In
the right light and list their shares on
the same basis as those now recognized
by the exchange.

GOLD VALUES
CONTINUE HIGH
Lower Mammoth Strike Prom
iSeS to Develop Other Sen
y Sati0nS in the Mine.

The gold strike in the Lower Man,
moth company's property continued to
be the chief topic of conversation in
mining circles yesterday. The only
sample taken and assayed yesterday
was OF pile of ore that was broken
of the mass as it was possible to secure
by Superintendent Arthur Brown gave
returns of 1872 in gold. 1876 ounces sill
yer and about 20 per cent lead, the ex-
act assay having been forgotten by
Secretary Reeves when he was asked
for the figures at his home last even
ing.
1t was stated yesterday morning that
the Lower Mammoth had~never pre-
viously produced ore carrying over IS
per ton in gold, and the statement was
correct so far as it related to ship
ment results, but the present strike on
the 1000 level. Superintendent Brown
related over the phone to the COM
pany's offices yesterday. called to his
mind something that happened at the
property previous to his succeeding the
late Billy" Ball as superintendent.
Mr. Brown said that while some work
was being done on the l 400 level. a
that gave returns of ounces in gold
per ton. He remembered that a search
was made for more of the same kind of
stuff; that holes were drilled and blasts
fired i'm the vicinity of the spot where
the sample was secured, but no such
values were obtainable.
From the way the ore is making on
and above the 1.600 level and from what
he can remember of conditions in the
old workings on the 1.400 level. Su-
perintendent Brown has a notion that
the present strike may extend up to
the 400 level and that he may be able
to locate the source of the 7-ounce ore
found during the Ball regime.
The gold ore was opened up Sunday
after cutting through a wall or streak
of tale in the stope that separated the
ordinary grade of ore from the rick
streak. The latter had been penetrated
for seven feet yesterday and was from
six to eight feet wide.
as il was desirable to keep the tale
from becoming mixed with the high
grade ore. no attempt was made yester-
day to further open up the ore body.
the efforts of the miners being di
rected TO removing a section of the
taic wall. Driving in the ore will be
resumed this morning and at the same
time raising to gain another set of tim
bers In height will be commenced. SUI
perintendent Brown considers the pres
ent strike the most important disclos
ure that has been made in the mine
since his connection with ii. If not in
its history.

LEAD DUE TO ADVANCE
FARTHER THIS MONTH

Pig lead holds firm around 4.e0c. 1t is
the opinion of both producers and con-
sumerS that no decided change will take
place for about month. Then an ad-
vance to something like 4.75c is looked
for. says a New York metal market au-
thority.
Corroders. like the National Lead COM
pany, say that if any improvement takes
place in the pig lead situation. it must
come from the electric and cable people,
The falling off in the latter's business
and their consequent curtailment OF or
ders for the metal were chiefly respon-
sible for its slump TO 3.35c during the
panic.
The corroders are buying just about
enough lead to maintain the price level
National Lead is doing little more than
hand-to-mouth buying. 1t has on hand
its usual reserve of about sixty days
supply.
Should the expected advance to 4.15c
take place in pig lead about Oct l. the
time and conditions will be propitious
for an advance in white lead prices.
These have remained unchanged all
through the depression and with the raw
material at 4.75c the manufacturing mar
gin would be insufficient.

Mr.. Green. who is largely interested
in western Utah and other propositions
in the Deep Creek country. expressed
the opinion that that region was going
to make a noise in the mining world
that would attract wide attention. He
declares 1T is the richest mineral-bear-
ing region in the state, and he says
there never was a camp in Nevada that
could boast anything like the showing
which is there exposed. The, Western
Pacific railroad skirts the north end of
the region. and as that road will short
ly be ready to handle freight and ores
into and from that section of western
Utah. he figures that nothing can hold
ii back much longer.
The geological survey is now at work
in that region. and during the coming
year. Mr.. Green says, complete reports
and maps of the section will be avail
able. The work at present is being con-
fined to Typographical survey. This
will be. followed by study of the geol-
oSy and mineral-bearing characters
tics of the country and the report that
will result from the work is being an
ticipated with the keenest interest by
everybody concerned in the develop
ment of the districts

ST. JOE COMPANY
IS REORGANIZED

The Bingham & Orleans Mining COM
pany yesterday filed articles of incor-
poration with the county clerk. The cap
ital is 5000 and the officers are: r. A.
Hasbrouck. president D. II. Wenger, vice
president; A. w. Monte, secretary and
treasurer The company will work the
claims formerly controlled by the ST. Joe
Mining company.
The old St. Joe company had long and
hard struggle to make a mine of it's eX-
tensive holdings in the camp of Bing-
ham. Money was hard to raise and inter-
nal troubles of a more or less serious ma
ture had considerable to do with the hold
ing back of the property. A long tunnel
has been driven into the ground and a
point has now been reached that leaves
little, comparatively, to do in order to
open up the lodges and make the propo-
sition a paying one. Less than year s
work ought to put the new company on
easy street
