Tunnel in New Ground.

A depth of 10 feet was gained in run
ming the tunnel and now the National
Mining company Is preparing TO extend
the lease adit into virgin ground along
the ledge which proved so profitable to
the Stall brothers. On the other hand,
the Stall brothers have begun the work
of extending tunnel No of the company
into their own ground It was from the
Upraise in this tunnel that the com
pany took out $4,000 in twenty-four hours.
This win give the Stall brothers 200 feet
Of backs on each side of their five
lion, the shoots having been proven to
be continuous, and not pockety.
The vein on which both the company
and the lessees have been working is a
true fissure vein, averaging from four
10 seven feet in width. Between 800 and
600 tons of a good grade of milling ore
were taken out by the company in run
ming their tunnel or adit. The vein dips
at an angle OF COO feet, with all the in
dications that they will crOsscut the vein
at that depth. What this means can be
easily conjectured.
With regard to the milling ore, it may
be all reduced on the ground, for the
camp has an ample supply of millsites.
Nearly all the gulches contain running
water, and there is a spring running
through the town of National The dis
trict is ideal for mining and milling
for in addition TO the water there is an
abundance of timber. The hills are pre-
cipitous, ard the mining for the most
part can be done by tunneling and at
economical cost.

Low-Cost Copper Felt.

The low-cost copper which the newer
mines are beginning TO put out, has al
ready made itself felt in no uncertain way
on the metal market. Utah Copper and
Nevada Consolidated, for instance, are
at the present time Outputting at the rate
of 12S go 900 pounds per anuum at net
average cost of under rather than over
gamated at least 1919 cents per pound to
make its 100000 pounds Of annual
product.
The securities of Utah Copper and Ne
vada Consolidated combined are selling
in the stock market for Sl5000000; Anal
gamaJed is selling for G3l.0000O0-a com
parison heavily in favor of the two So
called Guggenheim properties, especially
when the cost prices Of each are placed
in contrast
The entrance of the Guggenheims into
the copper producing industry has not
been viewed COmplacenuy by the Anal
gamated people, and they have retaliated
by entering the smelling business, for
merly mOnOpOiized by the GUggenheims,
and have organized the International
Smelling & Refining company, TO fight
the smelling trust"
The real split between these two big in
terests happened early in 1907, and arose
over dispute concerning the settlements
which the American Smelling & Refining
company was making for silver, the sell
ing of which was handed over to them
by the Amalgamated people in return fOI
the selling of the Smelling company
copper output. Soon after there followed
the loss of the Utah Copper cCmpany's
Metals Selling company to the newly or
gained selling agency OF the Guggen-
helms. The breach has been growing
wider ever since

IS AMALGAMATEO
DUE TO DECLINE?
Authorities Insist That New
C0pperS Place 1t in the
PaSSe Class.

With copper at 1874 cents, with the pres
ent dividend rate of 81 per shade, with pos
sible earnings on present copper market
Of S3.35 per share, Amalgamated at 50 OF
Whereabouts is an anomaly. says the Bos-
ton News Bureau. The explanation must
lie in the broad distribution which Anal
gamated, as well as many other secUri-
ties, has had since the panic days OF 1907
when the public secured some real bar
gains at prices which spelled the urgent
necessities Of the sellers.
The ownership of Amalgamated in the
stocks Of its constituent companies repre-
sents an equity i'm 100000 pounds of cop
per at the present rate of annual out
put. On this copper there is a profit al
the present time OF about pa cents pei
pound, or, i'm the aggregate sum equal
to 1875 per share.
Time was when a producing copper
mine was supposed to sell on TO pei
cent income basis but modern finance
declares this TO be an old-fashiOned the
DRY, and proceeds to justify its declara-
ton by causing Amalgamated to sell at
a price which yields but 2-3 per cent on
the investment.
If Amalgamated els discounung the tu-
tUre. the situation becomes all the more
complex, as the position Of the company s
high cost mines at time when the coun-
trys output is in the midst of the largest
IeXpansion ever known, is not an envia-
Ne one.

OBITUARY.

Colonia JuareZ. Chih., Mex. Dec. Ia.
After q lingering illness of some
thing like nine weeks, Elder John C.
Harper departed this life on the 1st
inst. at his home In Colonia Juarez.
All that could be done was done for
his recovery. but when II became APP
parent that his life was slowly but
surely ebbing away and that 1t would
only be matter of short time till
his days on earth would be ended, the
prayers of his family and friends
ascended TO our Father that he might
speedily be released from his intense
suffering.
The disease which ended his life was
supposed to have been "hypertrophy of
the heart"
John Clayborne Harper was born
April 10, 1886 in Franklin Co, Va. He
and Lydia Hill. His father Col.
Harper. was one of those good old
sturdy Virginia planters. who were
noted for their honesty and veracity.
At the age of 49, the subject of our
sketch enlisted as a soldier In the con-
federate army and fought bravely dur
ing the closing year of the Civil war.
He was in several bloody engagements,
during one of which he received a
severe wound. the scar of which, re-
mained with him to the day of his
death. He remained with the army to
the very last day of the war receiv-
ing ms discharge at Appomattox. Va.
April 10. 1865.
In his young manhood days, he heard
the gospel taught by two humble Nor
mon elders who were preaching in the
neighborhood where he resided. Young

an office that he had held for the past
seven or eight years; a member of the
old folks committee. member OF the
town council: besides he held number
OF other positions. the filling OF which
require good sound judgment. In all or
these labors Elder Harper displayed
rare ability and unusual fairness.
All great men have their weaknesses
and 1t is probable that John G. Harper
was no exception to the rule, but his
virtues were so many and his weak
ncsses so few that. az we stop to review
the life of the man. We can sec moth

Harper. being of studious and
thoughtful nature. was not long in
being convinced that the truths enun-
ciated by the elders were tae same as
taught by the Master when he was
upon the earth and, as believing was
equivalent TO accepting with John c.
Harper. he soon entered the waters OF
baptism and became q member of the
Church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints.
He was the first of the Harper family
to accept the gospel. in fact. it was
through his Jealous labors that the
greater part OF his fathers family
later received tho truth.
About the year 1870 he emigrated to
Utah, becoming a resident of Payson.
Six years later he was ordained
seventy and set apart to fill mission
to the Southern States, which mission
he filled with honor, thus bringing not
only credit to himself. but also to the
Church he was representing. Again In
1887. he was called to take another
mission to the South. Soon after his
return home, he was sentenced to serve
a term of five months In the peniten-
tiary on the charge of polygamy and
was also compelled to pay n fine of
$3.50.
During his sojourn of something
like twenty years in Payson, he
zens. Six years of that time he
served the people as city marshal. in
which position he displayed great wis
dom and tact. In 1891 Elder Harper
moved to Colonla Juarez. Chihuahua,
Mexico. where he has relded ever
since. Since coming to Mexico he has
chiefly been engaged in farming and
gardening. an occupation that he had
followed during the greater part of his
life and In which he had become very
proficient. He also. In connection with
his wife, has for r number of years
owned and managed a first class hotel

positions since coming here. both in "a

ORDER OF BOARD
C00LLY IGNORED
No Attempt to Measure the
Thickness of Cement on
Outlet Sewer.
oUTwlTTEO BY MAJORITY
From All Appearances Morun's Men
In the Council Have Once More
Scored Their Point.

Although the board of public works
was ordered TO open a trench on each
side OF the outlet sewer pipe to measure
the thickness of the cement FOR the In
formation of the board of arbitrators.
which is attempting to reach settle
mcnt between p. ]. Moran and the city
on his repair bill OF S20.45S.6'. it was
discovered by the council last night
that the order had been ignored. Coun-
Gilman Murdoch looked into the matter
last night before coming TO council
meeting. Frank r. Christensen, the
clerk OF the board. said that the thick
ness of the cement had never been
measured. Tho report of the arbitra-
tors Will be submitted next Tuesday
night without having uncovered foot
OF the pipe to see how the work was
done Moran claims that the steel bands
are four inches apart and the cement
IS inches in thickness. According TO
Councilman Murdoch who has investl-
CATER the inspectors reports, he says
that the steel bands are nine inches
apart and the cement is only six or
eight inches thick.
From all appearances, IL seems that
Moran's men In the council have out
mitted the minority again. The city
was to furnish the information wanted
by A. F. Doremus. consulting engineer.
and 1t seems that he has never asked
to have the pipe excavated. The board
of public works says that 1t would cost
the city 81. 900 to go to this expense and
the majority of the council seems to
think that the arbitrators can reach an
agreement without examining the pipe.
The board VIII hold its last session to
take testimony this afternoon.
