UTAH COPPER GOSSIP.
Directors Meeting to be Held. I'm

General Manager d. C. lacking of
the Utah Copper company, is sched-
uled to leave this city today for Col
orado Springs. where it is believed a
meeting of the company directors is
to be held for the posting of divi-
dend for one thing. President Charles
NJ. MacNeill was reported on his way
TO Salt Lake, but as his home is in
Colorado Springs, he is undoubtedly
going to stop OFF there and meet with
associates. The June production is re-
ported by Mr.. lacking to have been
4,105,92O pounds of copper, slight
decrease below Mays record, but a
better run withal as prices have rails
ed. The stock reached its highest
point since stringency last Thursday,
when it reached S3S per share East
ern journals ascribe the climb to the
present rate of production. $4,000
900 pounds annually at a cost of less
than s cents per pound, making the
declaring of n quarterly dividend of
80 cents per share almost certain at
the coming directors meeting.

but selling was renewed and carried
prices back below the opening. De-
clines of point We're registered by

Prices steadied and activity diminished
at the end OF the first hour.
Prices worked somewhat lower but

The market closed heavy and dull.
Covering by room shorts caused some
rallies late in the day but the sag was
resumed later. The demand slack

the rally.

P. |. WILLIAMS JR.
SEES GOLD CIRCLE
Says District Has Ore and
Showings to Substantiate
Its Assertions.
THIS IS ONE GOOD FEATURE
Son of Salt Lake railroad Nun l.
Pleased With Country aud
II With Him.

A thorough mining engineer and
manager of the DAILY West Mining
company Of Park City, Utah. r. l.
Williams, Jr.. was with us during the
week. says the Gold Circle tNev)
News
MIR. Williams life work is mining
and all this implies.
In company with G. j. Pope Of 10
Prospect avenue, East Orange, \. j.,
capitalist, he visited the Gold Cir
Gle district
When asked his opinion after his
tramp over the district. he replied;
81 came somewhat prcjudiced,
thinking that It would he another case
of much claim, such as | have eSper-
fenced in many other proclaimed
camps, and when examined simply Il
big case of disappointment and dis
gust.
Il can in all candor say that i'm the
case OF Gold Circle this is not true, |
am agreeably surprised The district
looks good, has lots of gold and as a
whole the district presents as favor
able feature from q mining stand
point as any | have ever seen.
From what / have seen ! am GER
tainly very much interested and re-
greet that press of business takes me
away SO soon, but as soon rs / have
attended to certain matters | will be
back In here and spend longer time
for purposes compatible with my pro-
fession and to the end of attaining for
my people what / believe they will be
able to secure in this very promising
mining field.
The district beyond doubt has the
full merit that its best people claim
for II, and 1 can assure you that | will
acquaint my friends and associates of
these very patent and inductive facts.
From my observations the Gold Cir
Gle district Is O. X. and meritorious
field for legitimate Investment and
development"
Mr.. Williams, in company with Mr..
Pope, was busy two DAYS in viewing
and examining surface and developed
features, and 1t is upon such examina-
ton that he made the above emphatic
statement.
The reputation and ability of Mr.
Williams is beyond attack He Is thor
ough in his business and the interests
and associates he represents are of
that caliber the record of which cites
them as safe, conservative factors in
the industrial success of the country.
Such men and their representatives
have great significance and thus the
words OF Mr.. Williams bear a golden
relationship to the marvellous gold
features of the Gold Circle district
They are important.
Mr. Williams mentioned Is the son
of P. l.. Williams. counsel for the Ore
gon Short Line in this city and head
OF the Hartman legal department
