ern Pacific preferred indicated the
eredence that was given to a report
that it was in contemplation to waive
the company's privilege to redeem
the per cent preferred stock at | / 5.
The existence of this privilege has
had the effect of holding the price of
stock close TO that level. The mo-
tive for this supposed intention is
said TO be the desire to market the
balance of authorized preferred
stock in the treasury of the capital.
The rumor of intended extra distri-
button on Northern Pacific stock was
revived. Both the Hill stocks and

sales of new stock effected before the

Awakening in the copper share
markets to an extent that will cause
activity in all the leading issues is
not far OFF, II the situation may be
judged by present attitude of the
interests which are closest to the
pulse of general conditions. Com
mencement of large enterprises in
many of the states and In European
countries, as well as resumption of
enormous building by the continental
railroads will before long create a
heavy demand for the red metal, in
consequence of which prices will adj
vance very perceptibly. With adj
vancement of the price OF copper, the
leading issues will go upward by
leaps and bounds and the investors
who expect to make handsome gains
by purchases at the rare low figures
now prevailing must take advantage
of the stagnation in trading and neg
lect which now appear drawing to a
close in all the markets.
While for several months copper
has appeared to be drug on the
market. nevertheless very small
amounts of the red metal are in the
hands of consumers. who are prae,
tically doing business from hand TO

the turn of events. But the time

MONTGOMERY OUTPUT
SEEMS To REFOTE
RECENT REPORT

The MontgomeryShosh matter
continues very live topic. Recent
reports from Rhyolite seem to indi-
cate that the experts report which
recently sent the stock to the bottom
heroic work at the mine to make the
report appear so. dispatch from
Rhyolite is as follows:
A cleanup of the zinc boxes at the
Montgomery Shoshone mill Is now
being made and before the end of the
week a shipment of bullion will be
made to the mint at San Francisco.
The mill has been in operation prac-
tically all of the month of April, and
the value of the bullion for the month
is estimated in the neighborhood of
$50, 900 or $4,000 a day, which was
the record made in March for Fl days
of actual running. In addition to the
bullion, the company has shipped the
usual amount of concentrates, from
two to three cars a month, the con-
centrates showing values from 5000
to 81 900 a ton. For April. the Of
fetal report shows a direct output
of $50 tons, valued at $35, 900, bring
ing the production for the month
above $125,000
This is splendid showing for the

best answer to New York. The Rhy-
olite Herald on Wednesday empha-
sized the Montgomery Shoshone stu

as much as all the ore shipments
combined from the discovery of the
property until the purchase by
Charles NJ. Schwab and associates. :"
As 10 the report made in New York
the following comment tells the story
succinctly;
At the annual meeting in January
the Montgomery Shoshone manage
ment stated in reply to a direct ques-
ton that there was over $4,000. 900
worth of ore net in sight and that
| the quartz was proving to be richer
with depth, averaging SIS per ton;
further, the mine had been thorough
| ly assayed, and there was no ques-
ton about it. 1t was also asserted
that the ore was not being picked for
mill purposes but was sent to the
mill as il was broken down in the
Slopes without sorting. At the Janu-
airy meeting the stockholders de-
manded a searching investigation of
the mine and Chester Beatty. the
Guggenheim expert, was chosen. He
sent Engineer Crum, his first assist
ant, and now approves Crum's report,
opened today. showing after a most
careful and thorough examination of
IL not to exceed 100000 net in
sight. Mr. Beatty says that the mine
was practically exhausted with the
passing through of the tale at the
300 foot level. Below that the ore
assays less than 81 per ton and has
no commercial value. The mine.
says the engineer, has been gouged
the past three months. IL is apparent
that these facts were known to the
insiders for a year or more. There
is talk OF criminal prosecution.
