MARKET SHOWS
. STRENGTH
MINING SHARES DISPLAY MORE
ACTIVITY WHILE THE METAL
PRICES REMAIN UNCHANGED
CHANGES IN LOCAL LIST.

Heavy buying of Industrial and
railroads caused all markets to show
more strength. Steel, common, and
U. P. were exceptionally strong and
by far the leaders of the market. The
mining share market also displayed
activity, while the prices of
metals remained unchanged. Ex-
ports of copper are reported to be
large this week, this coupled with
considerable buying from consumers
will presumably advance the market.
The market seems to be experiencing
an evening-up process in. which ex-
tremely sharp declines have been
made. The principle source of buy
ing being by operators and traders
who got into these stocks at very
much higher levels. Probably there
is no other list throughout tie entire
country which represents tie oppor-
tunities that the local copper list
does at the prevailing time, as Ely
is steadily receiving more attention
from the investing public, and it is
only a matter of a very short time
until Ely coppers will go to higher
levels where they justly belong. This
is due to the fact that the investing
public are beginning to realize that
in the low cost producing porphyry
properties that big returns on the in
vestment are sure to come to those
who wisely invest. Ely coppers, as
a whole, were firm today with n or
two exceptions. Ely Central was the
feature of the local coppers. 1t be-
ing active on the street and was
largely traded in by investors. Bos-
ton Ely was some lower, while Butte
& Ely continues to decline, with very
few buyers to be found for this stock
Ut present prices. The public seems
to be awaiting the Cole-Ryan's future
operations.

LONG LITIGATION ENDED.

BOSTON, Sept. 29.-George e.
Leonard, president of the Nevda-Uta
Co., says:
mo new financing in connection
with the Nevada-Utah Co. is in con-
temptation. Plans, however, are
about completed for a consolidation
of properties in the Phoebe camp
which have been in dispute for four
years between our company and the
Ohio-Kentucky Co., controlled by the
Codes of Salt Lake City.
''These disputed claims will be
placed in a subsidiary company, in
which the Nevada-Utah Co. will own
a half interest and the Ohio-Kentcky
a half interest. The stock of this
subsidiary company will go into the
treasury of the Nevada-Utah and
Ohio-Kentucky companies, and the
proportionate expense in development
will be borne equally by both COM
panies.
1.-THE property which has been in
dispute has been considered the most
valuable property asset of the New
ada-Utah Co. The ore, however, has
been of a refractory nature but our
managers believe chat with the in
creased knowledge gained during the
last few years these refractory ores
which contain high values In s1fves,
lead and zinc al be successfully and
profitably handled -
With the litigation settled and
definite knowledge of a proper meth
cd for the treatment of our ores, the
tNevada-Utah Co. has all that in nee
iessary for the establishment of a To-
cal smelling plant, which could be
done without calling upon u stock
holders for funds, or else place us in
a favorable position to make arrange
ments with existing smelters.
"0utside of the proposed consol-
idation of properties that have been
in litigation, the Nevada-Utah Co.
owns valuable and producing mines
which have not been in dispute,
which will be worked in conjunction
with the other properties. The New
ada-Utah Co. should 500 start up
on a new era of prosperity"

DIFFICULTIES N
VALUATION
SEVERAL FACTS RESPONSIBLE
FOR OVER-ESTIMATION OF
VALUES-NATURE PLAYS
QUEER FRANKS AT TIMES.

In sizing up a mine there are two
factors that are apt to be miscon-
ceived, viz: the cost of mining and
the grade of the ore, says Engineer
ing and Mining Journal. AS to the
latter, it happens generally that in
spite of all refinements in sampling,
there is an over estimate. This Is
due to several 81 The sampl-
ing of the pay streak may be correct,
but the pay streak can seldom be ex-
tracted Clearly. Often it is neces-
sary to take out more of the wall
rock than was contemplated in or
der to get at the ore, and it is inn
racticable to separate the lean or
barren material. In the mining of
great masses OF ore, as in the porp-
hyry copper mines, it may prove es-
sentiai to take out lean portions in
order to get at the better upon which
the estimates were based. A block
of moderate size showing good ore
ON four sides may prove to have a
barren core.
Nature some times play queer
pranks and deception nay arise from
the very perversity of things. We
recollect a case of an exploring drift
on the strike of a lode which cut a
streak of good ore for 100 feet or so,
ore showing in roof and floor all the
way without a break. When the ore
was stopped it was found to be an ell
ongated body, lying horizontally,
that in no place was more than 80
feet high and for much of it's length
only 10 or IL feet. The drift had
happened to go through it like the
lead through the wood of a pencil.
The conservative diagnosticaian is
bound to regard every body with
some spirit of pessimism. But, says
the optimist, may not the converse
sometimes happen? May we not in
the extraction of a body of low grade
ore find unexpected pockets of rich
ore within it when we take out the
whole? Yes, this may happen. We
have known such cases. But they
are less common than the other ex-
p~erience. Pockets of good ore are
apt to throw out stringers, leaders
or some sort of clue, which cause
On the other hand, no p~rospector fol-
lows a leader of lean ore.
After the sampling of a mine has
been done with the utmost care;
! after it has been checked and re-
checked; and after 1t is thought that
the grade of ore liz really known, Il
is advisable to discount the belief by
some moderate percentage to allow
FOR such adverse contingencies as we
have sketchily Indicated. Perhaps

FOUND MOTT GuIIrY.

Tom Adalovich of Riepetown was
completely exonerated in the justice
court yesterday afternoon on the
charge of having purloined a horse
belonging to George Giannopulos, "a
Greek residing at Copper Flat.
When all the testimony had been
submitted, District Attorney Reeves
stated to the court that the evidence
adduced justified Mr.. Adalovich'c
v~indication and recommended that
the charge against him be dismissed.
Judge Cartwright conceded with Mr..
Reeves in his opinion and ordered
that Mr.. Odalovich be discharged.
The evidence submitted during the
hearing showed that Giannopulos,
the complaining witness, had pur-
chased the horse in dispute from a
drayman and that the. horse had
strayed to Odalovich's corral in
Riepetown. When the Greek de-
manded the return of the animal,
Odalovich refused to comply with the
request.
When placed on the witness stand,
Odalovich told a plausible story, as
serting that he had bought the horse
from Tom Sweeney, who was former
ly engaged in the transfer business
in Ely and that he had received a bill
of sale from Sweeney for the animal.
He also claimed he had the horse in
his possession for several months on
his homestead below East Ely, be-
fore he was brought. to Riepetown
and naturally refused to give it UP
when requested to do SO by Clan
nopulos.
