VIENNA, Dec. 26.-The closest po-
litical associates of Foreign Minister
Won Arenthal today quote him as de-
ciarlng that the Russian Foreign Min
lister lswolsky's address to the Duma
yesterday means that war next spring
between Austria and other Balken
states is inevitable. The Austrian
foreign office construes this address
as threat that Russia means to help
those states which are arrayed
against Austria. A denial was made
today that Austria is taking the ag-
gressive in her clashes with the Ser.

OLD DOMINION IS
 CUTTING HE COST
Another Year Will See End of the Extraordinary Expendi-
 ture at the Mine.

The Old Dominion management IS gradually getting down it's costs and It is believed that this year will see the end of the extraordinary expenditure which, for the past few years. have made the Old Dominion one of the highest cost producers in the country.
 The Old Dominion is not only mate rially reducing its costs but it is pay ing eff it's floating debts, which on March q, amounted to S750,000. The management expects to be entirely clear of debt by October l.
 While detailed figures of costs for June are not at hand it is understood that by receiving 12.67 cents per pound for that months production, the company netted profit of two cents Der pound. Net earnings, there fore, were about S70,00O which com pares with 10000 for May.
 For July the company will receive an average of from Ii to 3-S cents her pound above the June figures, While the output should be about the same. Every cent per pound in crease that the Old Dominion re .ceives for it's copper on the present output adds SIPS per share to the earnings. Present copper costs are 10 I-2 cent per pound and this figure includes from 1 to 1 1-2 cents per pound for dead work
 A new and important development at the Old Dominion is the starting of la new Accompaniment shaft about 600 feet west of Pinal creek, in terri tory which has never before been con sidered mineral-bearing This action was taken with a view of opening the west country ore body which was found so expensive and rich until the water prevented further exploration. There was no outcropping or any sur face indications of ore west of the creek. but underground conditions would indicate that the ore runs into this country, and the Old Dominion management will seek it at a distance of about 1000 feet from the present known limits of the ore body.

 CHICAGO, Ills, Aug. 6.-It was a market for wheat bulls from first to last Perhaps the en- bulls expected too much. There was too much talk about dol lar wheat. without any good leader ship to put it there. Too many scat tered holders had wheat and weIta willing to sit down and let the market advance and make money for them. Much of this kind of wheat came on the market today. in way it vas selling out by discouraged holders who did not get the early advance expect ed. Liverpool came rather flat at only one penny higher. There was some rain over the corn belt, which caused a break in that market and naturally some selling out of wheat in sympathy. Minneapolis and Duluth were as ready to accept a backset in prices as this market. It is more than probable that much of the wheat sold out today will be bought back on any show of firmness. The facts in regard to the northwest crop are not changed and cannot be changed, except for tae worst. as the damage already estab- Iished is of such a character that high CT prices than yet recorded will easily
 be made possible. Remember the low condition of reserves. We believe

ARE MAKING READY
 FOR 4 BIG PLANT
Copper Creek Mining Company Near WinkIeman Planning
 Big Improvements.

The forces of the Copper Creek company near Winkelman are now largely engaged in laying foundations for the large 500-horse power plant. The boiler and all the machinery, as well as the dynamos and other cleo trical apparatus, is on the ground.
 Fay Sibley of Tucson is managing the construction of the plant. He is accepted as one of the finest electrical machinery mechanics on the coast.
 The boiler for this plant, which weighs 25,000 pounds, was landed last week at Sycamore Flat, the location of the power plant. It is expected this plant will be put into service by the middle of September. When this has been accomplished the hoists and pumping machinery on the various mines will be operated by power con trfbuted from this plant There are thirty-five men working on the con- struction.
 Work has ceased oD the American Eagle group of mines on account of water, which cannot well be con- trolled until the electrical plant fur nishes the power for the pumping.
 The 60-ton concentration is now in transit, and it is expected it will ar rive in time to be erected and put in operation about the time the con struction of the power plant is com pleted.
 Several buildings are being erected at Sycamore Flat for the housing ol employees, a boarding house and com paDy store; the latter has already been established at that point. This ofyeg tbp pOulpany two stOTes the other being at Copper Creek camp. Superintendent Roy Sibley was in the city recently and reported every thing in most satisfactory condi- ton.

To comprehend properly the recent developments in the diamond-drill sx- plorations on she Adventure and near by properties, one must refer to a map, sa=s an exchange, of the Ontona- gon region of tie Lake Superior cop per district The relation which the Adventure Ifoperty bears to the ai- joining Aztec and Lake properties tthe latter 0emg known in former days as tae Belt mine twill ma e It quite evident that Adventure carries the underlay of the new lode-waich some think is the Baltic, but which is usually designated ~tIe Lake Lode = for very considerable portion of i 5 area. The lode is thought to have q pitch of 40 to D degrees.
 The diamond drill core from the first hole on Adventure lands was ex- traeted at a point about 200 feet rom the surface. measuring on the incline of tha lode. The discovery was made by the drill which Is work ing underground on the sixth level of Ne shaft
 Another hole is being put down from the surface at a point near the Copper Range Railroad tracks, and within the past few days this drill has cut an amygdaloid vein between 9 and % feet in width and well charged with copper. This lode is about 500 feet under the vein which was cut by the other drill and which has been known as the Lake lode. The formation cannot be identified as to it's general character, but the broken pieces which have been se- cured are we'll charged with shot cop per.
 These are the developments which have caused Adventure to quadruple in selling price in a few weeks. The core from the first drill WIS even rich CT than that taken out by the Lake people in their original discovery, and the lode is found to be PC feet wide. It Is important to know that as the Lake people go down with their shaft the favorable character of the ground is maintained. This means muca to all the nearby properties.
 As Adventure is already equipped as to milling facilities, and has ap Iparently a much larger available ter ritory on the Lake lode, peculiar in terest naturally centers in it's affairs HOughton, Michigan, says that prac | tically the entire Adventure property 1 is underlain by the supposed Lake

 foday's market did not show any particular activity, although the bet ter class of high grade stocks showed considerable improvement. The de maRd, however, for copper stocks seems to be on the increase and at no time has there been more stock held outright by the public than at the pres ent time. This is very likely due to the fact that the public is more confi- dent that there is an excellent future for copper securities.
