EXPLANATION OF LOW
CUMBERLAND PRICE
SALT LAKE WRITER ATTRIBUTES
IT'S FAILURE TO MAKE LARGE
ADVANCE TO PROPOSED SALE
OF STOCK HELD IN TREASURY.

Western circles now know what il
is that has operated to keep the
price of Cumberland Ely stock down
lower than the general upward tend
ency of the market for copper stocks
in general would warrant. and espe-
cially in view of the fact that the
speculative phase TO the stock has
been eradicated largely by the fact
that the company is now one of the
copper producers of the country, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. 1t has been
announced from the east that the
Nevada Consolidated Co. intends TO
place 100000 shares of the Cumber-
land Ely stock on the market.
This is for the purpose of provid-
Ing money to increase the capacity
of the Steptoe smleting plant near
Ely, which is owned half and half by
the Nevada Consolidated and Cum
berland Ely companies. This shows
that the Gnggenheim interests do not
desire To wait for profits from copper
production TO expand at Steptoe, but
will finance the new order of things
from the treasury stock. II is APP
parent that eastern circles have
KDOAU Oh lD1S lnlCDiiOi IOl lHlCC
weeks or more past but western cir
Giles have not had equal opportunities
to ascertain just what the plans We're.
Ii is of interest in this connection
to say that the Nevada Consolidated
Co. has greater amount of stock
issued than the Cumberland Ely, and
will have even after this distribution
of two hundred thousand shares. Of
the Nevada Consolidated, 100000
shares are issued, while there are
only 100000 shares of Cumberland
Ely now issued. When the financial
arran gements of these two organiza-
tions are shaken down to final
basis. with a constantly increasing
copper production, western stock
holders expect the two stocks TO as
sumo their logical place in the list
of the big coppers, for no other re-
suit could be possible or logical un-
der the circumstances. and that late
move means greater prosperity for
Ely this winter.

GIRoTx SHAFT CONDITION.
Jury Divided i'm Its Opinion-One
Result of Recent Fatality May
Be Action Against Company.

Friends of Thomas Nichols. who
met his death Monday at the Alpha
shaft of the Giroux Consolidated, are
gathering facts concerning the ac-
eident for the purpose of putting the
manner of his death before an Eng
fish secret society. of which the dead
man was a member II Is stated that
legal action will follow, probably in
the shape of a damage suit, in case
the finding warrants such action.

He yesterday visited Coroner Cart
wright. asking that he be given a
certified copy of the inquest testi-
mony TO forward TO England.
According to the testimony given
by A. Straneker and Eugene Hussey,
they had Just left the goo foot level
after eating lunch and were going
back TO the bottom of the shaft TO
go TO work when a heavy fall of rock
came. Both of them jumped for the
wall plates and started 10 climb back

On reaching safety they found that
Nichols was gone and Immediately de-
eided that he had been Knocked down
the shaft by one of the falling stones,
some of which they testified weighed
at least three pounds. Hussey testi-
fed that he had told the foreman that
the shaft was unsafe at the point
from which the fall of rock came,
having noticed that the tagging was
split aud buckling out.
John Nichols. the foreman, and
William Hogan. the shift boss, testi-
fled that in their opinion the shaft
was safe one and that it was in a
reasonably good state of repair, with
every precaution possible taken to
preserve the safety of the men.
The result of the inquest was that
four of the journeymen agreed on a

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-An mp
ward reaction in prices of stocks in
the early part of today served TO
demonstrate that large speculative
liquidation was waiting TO take adj
vantage of the better prices. 4 vio-
lent relapse from the advanced level
was the consequence.
The movement OF the early part of
the day was greatly confused. and
baffied the efforts 10 decide whether
support OF the market to facilitate
liquidation was designed or whether
attempts were making TO accumulate
stocks for a renewed upward turn.
1t is significant OF the obscnrty of
speculative sentiment on the actual
conditions affecting values that the
whole attention of professional OPP
orators was given 10 trying 10 detect
the market position of the. supposed

The evidence of attempts TO liqui-
date were accepted as convincing
but the professional bears thereupon
fell on the market and offered prices
down with confidence. The market
proved 10 be more honeycombed with
stop-loss orders than had been sup
