SAYS WHOLE COPPER
 TRADE IS AROUSED
Authority Notes Healthy Un- dertone to the Whole Situa-
 ton in the Market.

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-Producers and selling agencies report light de mand for copper and buying Is stter- ed. Small sales were reported al If If cents for electroIytic, but most of the business IS being done on a basis of If 3-S cents a pound
 The leading selling agencies and producers are not inclined to quote be- low fl 2 cents a pound. No heavy sales are anticipated in the near fu- ture owing to the pronounced buying movemen: which ended last week.
 The National Conduit & Cable con pany says of the copper situation:
 A complete and rather sudden re- veTsal of previous depressed condi tions has ta:iea place in the copper lI.Lrket, and the decided change for 1. tie better , m s. welcome to all in- :erests. Msnufactur, have, boug It ceaviiy duriIs the last three Vt.e6s, aud large consuElin., requirements are back of the big business effected lii the raw metal. There has been great improvement in general business. ana we are undoubtedly entering upon a period of increasing demand. The price of copper has advanced by rapid stages during the past thirty days, and electroytic wire bars are now quoted at If 1-2 cents. Sales have been in very large volume, and buying at times was attended by cons derabie excitement The improved prospect for business and the many orders from consumers for liberal supplies of cop per and brass goods have proved of value in stimulating the copper mar ket to the greatest extent known dur ing the past twelve months. The en- tire trade has been reused into new life. and there seems to be thorough ly healthy undertone to the whole situa ton. Millions of dollars worth of manufactured goods were placed within a short time with leading es- tablishments in the copper wire and brass business.
 With a great stream of require ments from consumers rolling In upon manufacturers. mills were obliged to provide heavy supplies Of copper to meet the increasing volume of new business. Under these favorable cir cumstances 1t Is perfectly natural the copper market should reflect the de- velopment of a sudden and greatly increased domestic demand. If prices are not rushed up too fast and to an unjustifiable level, buyers will no doubt be willing to recognize sound reasons for reasonably strong cop per market
 There is large floating supply in foreign warehouses, but with a dis tinct improvement in world consump- ton the European stocks would be gradually absorbed. If it were not for this surplus the upward tendency would be more rapid. Expected re quirements from railroads for cleo trical equipment will consume large quantities, and demand from tlis source is taking more definite sdape Pennsylvania has given out heavy or jers already, and other roads are slated to commence electrifcatior when financial arrangements can be made.

LOGAN G BRYAN.

Especial Wire to L. J. Overlock)
 NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The list opened higher and advanced general iy. being stimulated by the higher London quotations. Further short GOV aring was noted, but on the advance profit taking on a good scale was noted, particularly in the last hour, when prices receded and closed in most cases sl ghtly below yesterdays high levels. Southern Pacific contin- ued to be the atcive feature and an aouncement expected in the near flu, tlre for plans of the conversion or retirement of the preferred issue. The Eries were under pressure on rumors of a probable bond issue and at the same time the Wisconsin Central is sues were particularly buoyant on the expectation of a dividend declaration in the near future. The recovery has eliminated a large part of the short interest and as the buying from out side sources Is comparatively small, the list will perhaps be allowed to settle gradually, but we are still in ciined to think that purchases on re sessions will prove profitable, par ucularly on sharp drives, as 1t is noticed that the market becomes con eested on declines.

Mining, STngIterS and SfOCR Quotations
GOODVEINS IN
 BOSTON-CORBIN

The annual report of President Am ster to the stockholders of the Boston & Corbin Copper and Silver Mining company Is as follows:
 : The report of Engineer James w. .Nein, mailed to the stockholders a few weeks ago, before the ending Of the companys fiscal year, covers the work done at the property for the greater part of the year. This report being herewith attached. little need be added, except to state that the shaft has since then been carried down another 100 feet, giving the property a depth of about 500 feet. a station cut at that depth and some 150 feet of drifting done on one of the veins. The vein cut at this level is not the Bertha vein, but is one of the minor veins which run through the property parallel to the Bertha. The vein at this point is SIX feet wide, which compares favorably with a width of four feet at the same point on the fifth level, or 100 feet above. It will take another 200 feet or so of drifting on this level before the work will reach the main part of the ore CAulSg NuSES ll SuOulu U6 SOuSlutI dDly wider, as 1t has been demonstrated by the upper levels that the ven widens as the drift advances south.
 The Bertha vein on the 100, 200 and 300foot levels averaged two to six feet in width, but on the 500-foot level it is twelve feet wide, and in No 505 crosscut it has lately widened to about sixteen feet. No. sos another paral- Tel vein to the Bertha, has also widen ed to about ten feet, showing that the ore bodies expand as we go south on the property, and as depth Is attained.
 The developments thus far have shown that there are four or five f. ferent veins within the boundary of the company's property, We have confined our principal work to the Bertha vein, on which we have drift ed for a length of 116S feet, all in ore, with the exception of 100 feet. Still, we have done enough work Un other veins to demonstrate that they are substantial and that the property will not have to depend entirely on the Bertha vein. Recent developments have demonstrated that Corbin is a

deep-seated camp. and that, like the similar mines of Butte, the best and largest ere bodies will be found in che oBston & Corbin property below the 1000 foot level.
 We are, therefore, bending our en- ergies towards developing at greater depth. We are now getting specifica- tions for a large new hoist and a large compressor, and in order to pdy for this new mach nery and for the building of a concentrator. the direct ors have recently voted to sell 10000 shares of the company's stock, or which it has 10000 shares in it's treas ury, at S25 per share, which will give the company s25O,OO0 in cash.
 The stock is offered to the stock holders pro rata, as per enclosed cir cular of November @, 1908, and Is un- derwr.tten at $25 net to the company without cCmmiss on. I consider that with the S250,000 the company will not only have all the money it needs for developing the property, but also to pay for the building of a concen trator, when 1t is decided upon.
 No attempt was made to ship ore uurluS IDe past year, ISt' Ou dSSOunN of the sudden drop in the price of the metals; and second, having in vie" the erect'o on of a concentrator, which would save the company $3 or $4 pen ton of ore, in treatment charges, freight and deductions. 1t was deen- ed advisable not to make regular ore shipments other than the ore that had to be taken out in the process of de velopment. We shipped about 762 tons, which yielded an average ot 5.77 per cent copper, about ounces in silver and 20 cents per ton in gold. With copper at 13 cents this ore net ted S10.25 per ton after deducting freight and treatment charges. It is figured that in treating this ore at our own concentrator, we could pro duce copper at a very low cost the gold and silver in the ore materially assisting us in paying for the mining and smelting.
 It will take about six months to develop the property to the 1000foot level, and by that time We should be prepared to build our 200-ton concen- trator.

PLANT ON GROUND.

PHOENIX, Nov. 24.-Members of a party returning from the Parker country report that the new smelting plant of 150-ton capacity for the Clara Consolidated mine Is now at the station platform of Rouse and that it will be installed at once. It is thought that the shelter will be oper' ating in four or five months at least. It will mean a great boom for that as tict as the Clara company is now sinking deep workings which will prove the camp. Besides the smelter a concentrating plant will be erected.
 Engineer Jaeger of the Santa Fe IS now in that district making a survey of the line between the rail road and the Clara mine, for railroad spur 0 handle the shipments of ores.

OPEN DOOR IS BEST METHOD
 FUR OFFICERS
StockhoIder Who Attended the Shannon Meeting Loud In His Praise of the Methods Adopted By AmSter.

BOSTON, Nov. 25.- A large stock holder in a number of Boston-owneu mining properties says:
 ''I have attended many meetings or stockholders, but never before one where open door policy ruled to sucl an extent as at the shannon meeting held yesterday. I have in mind meet ings where the directors, holding proX ies, and therefore having the power, nsed it, disregarding protests of the stockholders.
 At the annual meeting of the Shan non Copper company, N. l.. Amster, the pres dent, presided. There are 46OO stockholders in this company and naturally there was 8 large at tendance, apparently of the smaller holders. The rights of these sman stockholders was recongnized by MT. AmsteT, for they asked him every conceivable question, and each and every one received a prompt and ex' pIicit reply. .a.. ...-. .....
 They wanted to know why the Shannon, a producing property, sold lower than many Of the non-producinE properties. and Mir AInster replied that sentiment was a considerable factor in the making of stock market quotat' ons, and he in turn asked why Reading. a per cent stock, sold ten points higher than Pennsylvania, 6 per cent dividend payer and the stand ard railroad system of America.
 "They asked him as to tie amount of his personal stock ownership in Shannon and he replied 11,10O shares aud threw open the stock books for the inspection of shareholders, show ing himself to be the largest stock holder and therefore the one most in- terested in the company's welfare They asked him why the company did not pay dividends, and he replied that the difference of 9 cents per pound re- ceived by the company the past year for it's copper, compared with the previous year, made a difference of S1 500, 900 in the receipts and to have continued dividend payments would have caused the stockholders greater loss ID the end by weakening the com pany's financ al position. Many other questions were asked as to details of operation, copper costs, etc, and every stockholder received a satisfactory answer.
 Such an open door policy cannot but rebound to the credit of Mir. Am ster and his properties, and such an attitude must be most pleasing to the stock broker as well as to the share holder.
 An annual meeting of stockholders should be a family affair. Stockhold- CTS should attend annual meetings and ask questions and find out about their property. and if all of the offi- oers of corporations were as frank with their stockholders as Mir. Amster, the public mind would certainly be in a position to judge more intelligently of the value of their investment"

Stockholders Warned By Graf That Prompt Payment Is Necessary To Protect Their Interest In the Property.
(RY Frank J. Grail

The advanced price in copper metal has had its effects on copper stocks and it looks as thougn tue advance in beth stocks and metal are permanent. We must, however, expect slight re actionss but from this we must not suppose that the market has fallen to pieces.

 mitted regarding Globe Consolidated is hard to tell, but it has been reported that they will issue one new share for every two of the old shares. This,
 however, has not been yet confirme d.

NEARLY ] MILLION
 GALLONS PER DAY
Tombstone Consolidated Ger, tainIy Has Pumps That Can
 Take Care of Work.
(Tomhstone ProsnectorN

An idea of the magnitude of one days pumping operations at the T. C. h' company m ues may be gained from the fact that yesterdays record of pumping reached the total Of S. Ci1.321 gallons.
 Ihls enormous volume of waer forms a veritable river. The two water columns from the 1O00-foot level ol the big shaft send forth little over 5000 gallons a minute, and the huge pumps are kept going day and nigh' without intermiss,on.
 Despite the heavy expense involved in this operation the general plans as i. rctofore cutl;.Gd will be adhered to- nor IS the company in any wise dis court ged bv the difficulties confront. ing them, no" do .5eY falter enc mo nent in their dttc~ll nation TO raic7 the ultimate goal.
 If the volume of this days pump, ing record were put in Standard oil tanks such as are brought to Tomb stone daily, each car having a capac :ty of 10000 gallons. 1t would re quire a train five and one half miles in length to transport the output for a single day.
 While the unparalleled problem oI the unwatering of the lower levels is being gradually solved, to the T. c. Nj company Is also accorded another record of distinction and equal inter est. It has the record of being the largest silver producing company III Ar zona, while the gold output is in creasing yearly. The returns of the assessor shows actual silver bullion output for last year of 454.412 ounces and gold values nearly 1000 ounces A comparison with the detailed state ment of all other Arizona companies shows Tombstone to stand at the heaC in the silver output-and the work ha: but been fairly started.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The market was very strong at the opening on higher London prices, and there WAS quite a demand for good stocks. Prices held very firm for some tine and then began to sell of on profit taking. Tn the middle of the day prices soften ed up again, but in the late afternoon there was dec ded selling movement and the market became quite weak Covering up over the holiday was part iy responsible and traders taking profits. The close was about the low or the day. The general feeling was that a sharp break would not hurt tfc market at all.

 BOSTON, Nov. 25.-A rise in the metal was the signal for a good buy ing movement in all the eoppers this morning. Advances were rap'd all through the list, especially in issues where special developments are being made. Lake was very active and strong. Insiders were buying Frank lin and Rhode Island. Diamond drill work by Copper Range is being watch ed carefully and wise people are pick ing up stock in advance of any dis coveries. Superior & Boston will soon be listed and should sell at S20 before the end of the year. The Amster stocks Shannon, Boston & Corbin and Arizona Commerc!aI were very strong and have become the most active trading stocks on the list. The market for them is broad and active.

Lieut.. Reed who has been
somewhat indispos ed, has now
fully recovered.
Lieut.. Reed, for many years an
able officer of the United States
navy, has had several narrow es-
capes from death, and strange to
say, his closest calls have been
here in Henderson county. At
one time, the Lieutenant was at
sea for four long months without
seeing land once. At another
time a sudden squat struck his
ship.
1t keeled over until the gun
wales touched the foam capped
and angry waves, and came with
in an ace of turning turtle, but
finally righted herself. Since liv-
ing here, Lieu. Reed has improv-
ed greatly in health, but has
been thrown from his horse and
almost killed and has had two
narrow escapes from inrtant
death-both from lightning.
Once at his old home on the
Clear Greek Road, and about a
year ago when a bolt of lightning
struck a tree afew feet from the
building, ripping the tree from
top to bottom.
