NEW ORE ZONE AT TONOPAH.
Belmont Company Finally Gets the
Goods North of Mizpah Fault.

The Tonopah Miner reports this
week the most important piece of
news, from a mining standpoint, that
has been published since the earlier
days of the camp, and which means
much for the future welfare of some
of It's mines, especially the Belmont.
Heretofore the veins developed by the
different companies operating on Cd
die mountain have been cut on on
their easterly trend by the Mizpah
fault, which has northwesterly
strike and northeasterly dip, and
1t has been often predicted by promi-
nent mining engineers that no ore
would be found north Of this fault.
For some time the Belmont Co.
has been doing extensive prospecting
work on the 1000 foot level, the
principal part of which has been
the driving of the main east crosscut
to open up that section of the COM
pany's ground. Some time ago the
direction of this crosscut was chang
ed to a northeasterly course and no
time was lost In pushing this work
forward. For weeks this crosscut
has been cutting through the Mizpah
fault, which consists of mass of
country rock and quartz, from $50 to
200 feet wide, and the company has
been rewarded by making the dis
covery that ore exists north of the
fault. On the hanging wall or north
side of the fault, about three feet OF
drag quartz was encountered and
drifts have been run In both direc-
tons from the crosscut on this
quartz, which has shown punches OF
high grade ore all along the drifts.
In the meantime the main crosscut
was sent ahead and for the past 80
feet has been cutting stringers of
ore, carrying good values. These
stringers have increased In number
and size within the past week, and
last Wednesday the crosscut inter-
sected a stringer fully ten inches
wide, which is high grade sulphide
ore. This stringer, or small vein,
was cut fully SO feet north of the
north side of the Mizpah fault and
is the most important discovery that
has been made in camp for many
months.
1t Is not known at this writing just
how great this discovery will prove,
but the tract remains that the Bel
mont company has succeeded in find
ing pay ore in territory which ex-
perts predicted would be barren, and
energies in that section of ground
have been increased, with every
promise that sensational develop
ments will follow. The value of this
discovery to the Belmont company
cannot be estimated. as 1t owns an
immense territory in that direction
which has yet to be opened up. The
formation in which the discovery was
made is thought to be early andesite.

BOSTON CON UTAH COPPER
MERGER BEING TALKED

One of the largest shareholders OF
the Boston Consolidated Copper
Mines Co., according to the Boston
News Bureau, says:
THE company has 100000 cash
on hand with all bills paid. This
should be sufficient to carry the
property through it's 'teething' trou-
bles. The Utah Copper Co. people
spent five years in developing their
property and then built mill. The
Boston Consolidated Co. spent a year
in developing its property and then
built a mill. The consequence Is
that the mill is ahead of the mine

houses of Connecticut. Boston and
New York. If this big consumer OF
copper is raising money it can be for
but one purpose-to buy copper. ii
1t is raising this money now Ii is in
anticipation of a decided revival in
general business and a demand for
its products after the political sky
shall be cleared by the nominations
by both parties.
The market for copper the metal
continues very strong at 13 cents,
price level. The real producers will
take nothing less than 1875 al
though metal at second hand can be
bought for 1919 The mine
operators are not competing among
themselves, and therefore the meta7l
brokers do not take the trouble to
quote price. The large sales are
probably from spectators TO specula-
tors.
The Connecticut manufacturers re-
port that their customers are order
ing about SO per cent of last years
business, but this years require
ments are more than half those of
ordinary years.
There are a number of consumers
who think that the copper that is
being sent abroad is not as specula-
tive as is supposed. 1t is more likely
to be for the replenishing of depleted
stocks and the foundation of ''stock
on hand for German and English
trade requirements. Foreign
manufacturers being long way
from the source of supply. and also
having access to financial aid not
available to business interests here,
carry heavy stocks

In its weekly review of market and
metal. the Boston Financial News
says:
The copper producers look to sell
a lot more copper during the last
half of the year than they did during
the first part, and for that reason the
low cost producers will probably
make good showing in the matter of
net earnings for the year. Buyers of
good copper around present price
levels are reasonably certain of good
profits and fair dividends before the
end of the year.
There are significant signs of
strength in the metal market. The
price of copper abroad has been slow
ly creeping up all the week and the
big local producers are very stiff in
their asking price, both for lake and
electrolytic.
While the average price for the
metal has been only about 10 cents
so far in 1908, the producers claim
that 1t will not be many weeks be-
fore prices will be IA to Is cents and
possibly even higher during the latter
part of the year, and they anticipate
selling a greater tonnage of copper at
the higher prices than has been sold
on the 121s to 13-cent market.
If these anticipations are verified
the result will be to bring the
average price of the metal for the
year we'll above the current quotation
Perhaps the most significant sign
of the times is the fact that for some
time past, very quietly, the American
Brass company. has been putting out
its paper among the note brokerage

STIRs SOUTHERN PATRIOTISM.

The author of 1.-THE Clansman'' may
very well adopt Fletcher Of Saltoun's
famous motto and say that he would
rather make a nations dramas than its
laws. One effect of this celebrated
play, which will be presented on Feb
ruary % at the Messenger Opera
House has been to make the South
conscious of it's own greatness. In the
mirror OF the Stage Southern men and
women view the deeds of their fathers
during the Reconstruction period, and
they are proud Of the record. The
many did not realize until 1.-THE Clans
man. came. The Peace and prosp-
Gritty OF the present are founded on the
heroic labors Of the Ku Klux Khan and
the other secret organizations that re-
sisted the iniquitous measures by
which it was sought to reduce the
South into a mongrel satrapy. "The
Clansman" pictures the Ku Klux Khan
in a dark crisis of South Carolina his
tory. It shows them riding to the re-
oOoC vi tAO SdA1dht CdA1OfOhSs Tx A4ASh
Court of Justic of the Khan, the sum-
moning OF the order to put down the
carpetbaggers, aud finally the in
tervention of the State had almost sue
ceeded in his purpose to wed a white
girl. The play is true to historical
conditions though the details are i'm
aginatively conceived, and it has
created a profound sensation whesever
it has been played. It will be presented
here with a well-baianced company, a
beautiful scenic production and cleo
trical effects, and the noted Ku klux
Khan cavalry of trained horses and
expert riders.

You will remember the plans of a
