WALLACE, Idaho. Dec. 19.-In-
dications point TO a winter of active
work at not only the larger prop
critics in this district, but ii is said
that more prospecting will be done
this winter than for many years.
Mining Companies whose properties
are not easy to reach after the deep

The Bullion has just let contract

The shaft is expected to cut the foot

This vein has been proven to be about
33 feet in width and to carry to 10
per cent in copper values, with 81 TO

BlsBEE AGAIN DISTURBED.
Companies Wedding Out Advocates
of Another Strike.

BISBEE. Dec. 19.-During the
past four weeks many men have been
dicharged by the mines because of
their activity in promulgating the
doctrine of their unions and during
the past week a number were laid OFF
at the smelter at Dougles for the
same reason.
The unions are taking every step
TO force the men to obey their call
when it is issued. On the other hand
the mine owners are putting on
plenty of new men, and it is antiei-
pated that the call out of the loyal
few will bother the companies but
little. However, the uncertainty
caused by the rumor of a strike is
causing tie local merchants TO call in
their credit accounts and placing
burden upon the working class

The copper production for Arizona

THEORY THAT OFFICERS AND
BOARDS OWs THE MINES Is
EXPLODED.

The open door" policy, as this ex-
preston is being applied to the min
ing corporations that are willing to
allows the details OF their affairs to
be made public. is becoming more
and more popular, as a result OF a
demand from the investing public for
such publicity, says the New York
Commercial.
Time was, when annual reports
coming at yearly intervals were about
the only source of information stock
holders could secure to enlighten
them on the subject of their holdings
In a mine where changes OF vast i'm
portance, either good or bad,
frequently develop in day, 1t is evil
dent that quarterly reports are the
very least that can be published
showing the condition of the finances
and of the underground workings.
Even these should be supplemented
by additional bulletins that are like
~ to be of interest to stockholders.
The long prevailing idea that dir
eetors and managers were the whole
company is an exploded notion, and
the stockholders. who are the owners
surely are entitled to know of the
Developments concerning their prop
critics. Naturally there's are fact
that for business reasons must be
suppressed, but these are usually de-
velopments that concern the welfare
of the company and those interested
in it. Such publicity is all the more
necessary when company goes out
OF its way to secure a big following
for its shares.
Since Manager Mackenzie took
charge OF the affairs of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines Co, bulletins
giving accurate data about the prop
erty have been given publicity, with
the result that this corporation en-
joys very large percentage of APP
proval due to the methods that have
been followed recently in telling peo-
pie about the details of the under
| ground work. Innumerable instances
might be mentioned where such
tactics are being followed, though all
mining companies are not yet com
mitted to such policies
Many mining companies are gov.
erned in their attitude toward their
stockholders by the demand made
upon them. If those holding stock
are satisfied to be without reports
then no effort is made to enlighten
them; IL, on the other hand, informa.
tion OF this character is demanded
the management will soon take the
steps to comply.

able engineer, familiar with the dis
trict or region, to examine into the
conditions obtaining at the mine, they
would often find that their property
actually does possess merit. but that
mismanagement, extravaganza, or ig-
norance are robbing the owners of
what should be profits. These evils
can be corrected and il is the duty
which stock holders in Improbable
mines owe to themselves to have
their property Investigated TO ascer-
tain what the conditions are, and
what remedy IL any be needed, shall
be applied TO bring possible success
out OF failure.
One mistake investors. particularly
foreign investors, made in having
their properties investigated, Is in
sending engineers from home-their
own countrymen, to make the ex-
animation Usually these engineers
are wholly unfamiliar with the
situation, and have never been re-
quired in their experfnence to work
under conditions in any manner SINH
lar to those obtaining at the mine.
Naturally European investors would
favor sending their own conntrymen
having greater confidence in them
than in others, but for the reasons
stated. this may be the best Sc
| lection. OF coures, these strangers
would quickly recognize a worthless
property. but 1t Is questionable
whether they could with equal
| facility discover the elements of sue
cess in a mine which is losing money.
Nearly all Improbable mines are
the result of incautions methods on
the part OF investors. Veins are
stated to be wide, rich and free mill

sort. Typographical conditions, tran
sporation cost. lack of water and
many other things either singly or
collectively frequently contribute TO

SURE TO RAISE DEFICIT.
Seats for c. w. L. Minstrel Show Are
Selling Rapidly.

Selling Rapidly.
The Association of Class Presidents of
of George Washington University, formed
some years ago for the purpose Of foster
ing college affairs. has taken the lead in
the approaching minstrel show. and is
recognized as the representative of the
student body.
When the agitation concerning the ath-
letic deficit occurred, the Association of
Glass Presidents took up the matter with
energy and raised more than $500 TO meet
the deficit of s1.20G In addition they de.
eided to give the minstrel show for the
same purpose
The association has pushed the minstrel
show with remarkable vigor. Already the
majority of the best seats are sold. and
there yet remains a large portion of the
university and alumni to be eanvassed.
The actual management Of the show has
been placed in the hands Of a committee
consisting of Messrs. D. A. Baer, w. c.
Van Week, and E. p Gates. Waldo
Pearce. who has had considerable expert
ence with minstrels in the North, and
who is now president Of the Freshman
Dental Glass, is director The rapiditv
with which rehearsals and the libretto
have advanced promise a decided success
for the venture.
The show itself is attracting eonsidera-
bic interest throughout the city. From
present indications. a thoroughly repre-
sentative audience will be in attendance
on the night of the 18th. A large number
OF alumni, many Of the faculty. and prac~
tieally the entire student body win be on
hand The idea of a play by local col
lege is somewhat new TO Washington
Many performances have been given in
