MERGER Of CON.
UTAH COPPER IS;
AGAIN THE TALK

Basing it's conclusions on the sup
position that the Nevada Consoli-
dated and Utah Copper companies
are both controlled by the Guggen-
helm interests a New York mining
publication states that these two
corporations will eventually CONSOLE
date. Such a merger has been a top
ic of discussion in the past though
the Utah company officials have new
err been favorable to such action.
and locally it is not considered like
ly that there have been any deyel-
opments of late which would tend to
cause them to change their opinions.
The New York report says: Nov
that the consolidation of the Nevada
Consolidated and the Cumberland
Ely companies has been s~atisfactor-
lily completed, it is believed by many
of the well-posted mining crowd in
this city that the time is not far off
when this combination will take over
the properties of the Utah Copper
company, located at Bingham. AS
is well known, both the properties
are controlled by the Guggenheims,
and for several years there has been
talk of these properties merging.
Two years ago an actual deal was
in contemplation, but the plan at
the time was baked at by the Salt
Lake interests, headed by D. C. Jack
ing. These people made the point
at the time that, as the Utah Cop
per company was sc much further
advanced in point of production, it
would be unfair to the property to
make any arrangements to CONSOLE
date it with other companies until
it was definitely ascertained what
these other properties could do in
the shape of output and costs. Since
the erection of the Steptoe plant it is
now well known what the Ely prop
critics a accomplish, SO that the
former objection has been overcome.
1T is only a matter OF time when
the Utah Copper company and the
Nevada Consolidated will be one.'

and we laughed again. About this
time another kid, who had been

that we could take a joke, threw a
mushy SNOWFALL that landed square
on our neck. We didn't laugh, but
the old gentleman, who was return

CONTACT DECLARED W
+ READY TO ENTER ON
STEADY SHIPMENTS

The Twin Falls, Idaho, News of a
recent date contained the following
regarding the camp of Contact:
George Deaner, the veteran
freighter, has secured a contract to
haul so tons of high-grade ore from
Contact to Wells, New, for which the
rate is $25 per ton, and is reported
as having already begun the execu-
ton of his job.
The ores IRE said to carry an aver
age of % per cent copper, a little sill
yer and gold, and to come from the
dumps of several of the mines of the
district.
The purchaser of these pres is a
representative of the American
Smelling & Refining company of Salt
Lake. The smelter is reported as
having been glad of the opportunity
to get these ores, and intends to
utilize them to good advantage in
conjunction with the silicious ores
of Utah mines.
Reports are to the effect that il
the shipment of this so ions proves
satisfactory to the smelter, there will
be inaugurated a continuous heavy
shipment of the same class of ores
from Contact. Therefore, the feeling
there is optimistic, and claim owners
think that there is heneeforth going
TO be a gradual recognition from the
mining investment world, which will
eliminate, in the early spring, in a
genuine regeneration over there of
all classes of operations.
w. J. Armstrong, Nose Jones,
Hugh c. McTaggert, D. G. Benedict
and s. M. McGaffey all belong to the
camps supporters, and declare that
it is only a question of time when
there will be produced from the dis
trict vast quantities of ores which
the shelters must have.
Therefore, they are pushing every
thing along as rapidly as possible.
The hotel on the Western townsite is
being rushed to completion.
The DelanO group is said to be
alone abundantly able to furnish a
large tonnage of very high grade
which can be hauled out to the rail
road, whenever there shall have been
established a counter haul on pro-
visions, demanded by the district, as
will be the case whenever. large
operations are undertaken. And
there are even better days in sight.
The railroad is confidently expect
ed to be constructed next year from
Twin Falls through Contact camp to
the main line of the Southern Pa
cific between Ogden and San Fran
cisco, which will bring this very
large consuming district as we'll as
many others in Nevada, within Twin
Falls ability to supply.

TERMS OFF SUBSCRIPTION.
THE RISING BUSINESS WAVE.

Revised and complete returns
show that the bank clearings of the
country for October, 1909, were not
only far. ahead of those of the same
month in 1908, but they exceeded
those of 1907, and also those of 1906.
r'or October of 1906 the clearings
amounted to $14,550,000 900, a total
which was not closely approached
in that month afterward until this
year, when the amount was $15,851,-
100000. For the ten months ending
with October the records of clear
ances for the entire country have
also been broken in 1909. This is a
larger achievement than may appear
on the face of this statement, for
the exhibit in the earlier months of
1909 was not favorable. The gains
over previous years have been won
through the upward bound of the
past two or three months. For Oc-
tober, 1909, Chicago, st. Louis,
Washington, Denver, Seattle, Kan
sas City, Omaha, Savannah and a few
other towns broke all their records.
moreover, as the tendency is upward,
the country's clearings records for
the entire calendar year are likely
to leave all former figures far be-
hind.
In iron and steel production, which
are the country'S basic industries,
we are making new records. During
October the pig iron output was
2,592,000 tons, as compared with
1885, 600 tons in September, which
broke the record along to that date,
and 2,337,000 tons for October,
1907, on the eve of the panic, when
production reached a level which was
not touched until September of this
year. October's production was at
the rate of 30,O00,000 tons a year,
while the largest output ever reach
ed in any twelve months was 25,7S1,-
900 ions in 1907. In steel the gains,
proportionately, over the largest pre-
vious records are still more marked.
AS would naturally be expected from
the increase thus citeo, railway earn
ings are also beginning to make new
.lghests." A rurther expansion in
them will undoubtedly take place In
November, when the volume of the
crop movement reaches a high fg-
ure. For September and October Il
merchandise exports broke all rec
ords for those months, though the
high mark of December, 1907, which
exceeded that of any single month in
any year, has not yet been touched,
but it probably will be passed in
November or December of 1909,
from the rate now shown. The
monthly reports of idle cars through
out the country, which were an
ominous feature of the industrial
situation for the past two years, will
greet us no more. At the opening
of 1903 the number of the cars out
of commission was $4,000. 1t was
3OO,O 600 as recently as the beginning
of May. When the total was reduced
to about 100000 on July l, a new
reason for jubilation on the big holt
day Just afterward was furnished.
The number had shrunk to 100000,
however, by the beginning of Sep
tember, and by the end of October all
the idle cars had not only disap-
peared, but there was a shortage OF
more than 5000. The familiar cry
of boom days of 1906 and of 1907
along to the setback in October of
hat veal of mot enough cars to
handle the traffic." will be with us
once more in a few weeks.

CLEAR UP THE
SUGAR TRUST MYSTERY

tFrOm the New York World.)
Through sworn testimony taken in
court, in legislative and congressional;
Investigations and in other proceed
ings the Sugar Trust is shown to
have been guilty of:
1. Bribing political committees OF
both parties.
~. Seeking to influence United
States senators by stock tips and
other financial transactions.
3. Accepting rebates in violation
of the Interstate Commerce law. \
4. Stealing from the United States
government through weighing frauds
5. Conspiring to ruin Independent
sugar refiners.
6. Violating persistently the Sher-
man Antitrust law.
Z. Using short weight scales.
g.. Blacklisting grocers who hand
led Independent sugar.
g.. Importing cheap contract labor
10. Violating factory and health
laws.
No high official was ever criminal
ly prosecuted or convicted for any of
these ~offenses. The only indictments
eve found against any OF them were
returned recently by a grand jury
after the Trust had confessed in open
court that it had violated the Sher-
man law.
The relations of the Trust to gov
eminent have long been intimate
and intricate. It's activities in con-
gress have rightly been described as
a scandal. The reasons for it's long
and profitable immunity have never
been explained. What better work
for the publication of government
and commerce could a congressional
committee perform than to clear up
this extraordinary mystery?

FARMERS NOW THE
GREATESTCAR BUYERS
SINGLE Drawback Has Been the De.
plorabIe Condition of Highways,
and Good Roads Movement
Makes Farmer Ally

OF late our friend the farmer has
been the subject of much observation
and the recipient of many compliments
upon the fact that he is the buyer of
automobiles.
In some manner-we confess we
cannot see how-the agriculturist
seems to have drawn upon himself
the odium of being one of the most UNI
progressive members of the human
tribe, and now the information that he
uses motor cars, for business no less
than for pleasure, IS received with
considerable wonderment and with
many comments. Invariably the in
formation is handed out that the far
mer buys automobiles because he en-
joys period of unparalleled prosperity
which enables him to indulge in a GER
tain degree of recklessness, to possess
himself of a luxury that by the same
logic was really not meant for him.
All this is wrong. 1t is true that
farmers as a class cut a not inconsid-
cradle figure as motor car buyers, yet
the number of motoring farmers is not
astonishingly great. The progressive
farmer invests in the automobile sim
ply because he has convinced himself
of its superior usefulness; he has dis
covered that car can do things that
are utterly impossible to the horse.
Again, the misunderstanding farmers
are not found exclusively among the
more wealthy inhabitants of rural dis
tricts, but are recruited chiefly from
the ranks OF average farmers, those
with average homes. paid for and mod
erately well furnished.
1t is needless for us to dwell on the
manifold uses to which the farmer
may put his car with profit. One
phase, however, is often lost sight of,
and that is the gain of the merchants
in the neighboring towns. The far
mer who owns a motor car is a distinct
gain to the tradesman: the car in
creases his trade and brings it from
a wider territory. The farmer is lit
tie different from other folk in desir-
ing to do his shopping in the large
stores of the towns, and with his abil-
ity to make the trip to the town or
county seat in a short time his radius
of trading is expanded many times.
The single drawback to the farmers
use of the automobile has been the de-
plorable condition of many of our
highways. But here, too. a vast
change has taken place. The farmer
has found that properly built roads
enable him to travel from and to his
place we'll night all the year around,
at any hour Of the day or night,
swiftly, safely and economically; in
consequence the good roads movement
has in the farmer received a most
powerful ally who will make his in
fiuence felt in all sections of the
country.
