OUTLOOK FOR COPPER NOW
MUCH MORE ENCOURAGING
Local Demand Light, But Exports
Are Fair and Surplus Normal.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Although
the general position of copper in the
local market avs unchanged yester-
day and the demand continued light,
there were several factors that SEEM
ed TO indicate a steady market for
the present and brighter outlook.
Foremost among these was a good
export demand Shipments yesterday
were more than 2,200 tons. The
movement into foreign consumption
is rather light for this time of year,
but considering general conditions,
demand from exporters is fair.
Another favorable feature to the
situation was an absence of accumu-
lation of spot stocks. Arrivals here
were little more than 500 tons,
which did not serve to augment the
supply on hand. The local demand
was small. however, and, as for some
time back, consumers refused to take
on more goods than they could con-
veniently dispose Of.
The principal buyers, the railroad
interests, are still out of the market,
however. and it is from this source
that the demand must come before
the situation can be called really i'm
proved Many of the roads had con-
templated extensive electrification of
their various lines, but these i'm
proyements were suspended when it
was no longer possible to borrow

money Thus the largest factor in
copper consumption was removed
Any movement along this line would
result in a much firmer market ana
higher prices. -
Some of the more optimistic opera
tors are inclined TO anticipate this re-
sumption of Improvement on the part
of the railroads, and have started
producing again. Among the mines
that have opened recently is that of
the British Columbia Copper Co.,
which had been closed since Novem-
err. This mine requires more than
400 men to operate it, and as fast
as the men can be employed they
will be put on. The total capacity of
the bins at this mine is 1000 tons,
and they will be filled as rapidly as
operations will permit.

Gun Permits
Abolished by
Marshal

Every permit to carry deadly con-
cealed weapons issued by the city
marshal of Ely has been recalled, Mr..
Hudgens stating that in view of the
manner in which the privilege is be-
ing abused this action Is necessary.
1t was taken quietly during the latter
part of last week, eight men being
notified that they no longer had per-
nit TO carry pistols.
At the same time that he issued
the order reyoking permits to carry
arms, the marshal issued instruction
that every man found with a con-
cealed weapon whether he had per-
nit under the former order of things
or not. be placed under arrest and
thrown in jail.
There has been great deal of
complaint lately about the number
of men carrying revolvers in Ely"
said Mr.. Hudgens, and rather than
have the general public believe that
we are allowing unfit persons to car
ry weapons | have revoked them all.
Now any person carrying a deadly
concealed weapon, no matter who he
is, will have to suffer If he is appre-
hended."
Up to very recently the city council
issued no permits but of late appli-
cation for permits have been made to
them direct. In case they thought
it advisable to issue permit the
matter was referred to the marshal
and in case he recommended it the
permission was issued 1t was al
ways done with the understanding
that he might at discretion revoke
the permit.

CAPTAIN cox LEAVES.

Captain W. S. Cox of the Nevada
state police left yesterday for Reno.
after a short stay here on business
connected with his department. While
the captain declared that he was here
only for the purpose of looking the
district over, II is thought that he
had other business also. General
curiosity as to its nature is expressed
but as he refused to say anything
other than in general way, public
curiosity will have to remain unsat-
isfied for the present at least.

 'Srhe week before Christmas was made interesting in a business way in the two states by several developments and in- cidents of an important character At Birmingham, Ala, big department store is to incorporate and enlarge it's opera tions and it will take just three million dollars capital to do business in accord ance with it's plans and ambitions. A $700,000 company is being organized in At 1anta, Ga., to take over a machine manu- faoturlng plant there and reorganize the business. Twenty-nine new corporations were formed in Georgia and Alabama during the week with capital of $4, ,527, ,000.
 Conspicuous in the list of contracts awarded are those for sawmill outfits. illustrating the real revival that is now being experienced in that important line of industry. Fitzgerald, Ga, awarded contract to build a sewerage system at a cost of S6S, 372.
 "A half-hundred Michigan farmers came to Georgia to see the situation with their own eyes and were entertained by an en- terprisng real estate firm at Brunswick, Ga. An interesting and complete exhibit of Glynn county crops had been prepared by the firm, whose office was turned for the time being into a kind of agricultural fair, as it were. Several real estate cor Iorations were formed during the week, and various land sales are being arranged by development companies in response to improving conditions
 "A half million dollar bank was organ ized at Rome, Ga., and bank at Law renceyille, Ga., is arranging to increase it's capital in January. Bank clearings at Atlanta, Ga, exceeded those for the corresponding week last December by about one million dollars.
 Mobile, Ala, is proceeding with plans for s75o,000 of street improvement work. Plans for the Savannah, Ga.. Masonic temple which will cost s150.000 have been completed and bids for construction work will soon be invited. A $50,000 cotton oil mill that burned at Monroe, Ga, is to be rebuilt, as is a machine shop at Moreland, Ga Abbevile, Ga., citizens ask for char ter for a $100,000 company which proposes to build a railroad from that city to Fort Valley, Ga.

 An interesting fact is the desire of the farming communities of the two states for better telephone service. Extensions of lines are being made almost constantly and it will not be long before Georgia and Alabama will be one great network Of wires"

NO TRADE FOR HUNDLEY

Selma, December 22.- Especially )-F. B. Blackerby formerly of Kentucky. in the Georgetown district, who has been living in the vicinity of Selma this year. fur nishes an example of what may be done on the soils of Dallas, and a great many other counties of Alabama Mr Black erby has raised tobacco all of his life. and he came to Selma desiring to find a new field for his labor He rented less than two acres of land about four miles from the city and planted it in white burley tobacco. the kind raised in Ken lucky. He returned today from Louisville, where he marketed his crop, receiving $366.S2 for 2025 pounds
 MT. Backerby states that the cost of growing and marketing the crop raised on less than two acres was about the same required for cultivating cotton for the same amount of acreage, about $50. When 1t is considered that on two acres of land only a single bale of cotton is usually raised, and that the price received for 1t is about $45, the lesson to be learned stands boldly out MT. Blackerby cleared on the less than two acres of land under cultivation in tobacco fully $500, and the labor is less than in raising cotton. He states that with the same conditions under which he raised his crop near Sel- ma prevailing in Kentucky he does not believe he would have secured near as good a crop.
 No Trade For HundIey.
 Upon the appointment of D. M. Scott by the President to be postmaster at Sel- ma on Saturday last there was some gos- sip af1oat intimating that the appointment of Major Scott was brought about through deal whereby Senator Johnston was to support Judge Hundley's confirmation in return for Thompson's support of Major Scott. The Age-Herald's correspondent mentioned this gossip, and fears perhaps some injustice was done Senator Johnston.
 It is learned today that Senator John ston favored the confirmation of Judge Hundley before there was ever thought of a vacancy in the Selma postoffice. The Age-Herald's correspondent has seen copies of telegrams from the department to Referee Thompson. and the latter's re- ply sent a short while before Major Scott's name was sent to the Senate. The telegram to Mir. Thompson from the de- partment stated that the President de- sired to appoint Major Scott postmaster at Selma upon the recommendation of Senator Johnston, there being considerable complaint over the conduct of the office and MT. Thompson was asked his opin- ion. His reply to the department was, 'I have no objection
 Major Scott's confirmation will most likely occur about January 6, and he will make the $2o,000 bonds and probably as- sume charge of the office on about Jan uary 15 or February l.
