.15-CENT COPPER
NOW SEEMS SURE
NEW YORK BANKERS LOOK FOR
BIG PROFITS
SPECULATIVE BUYING SHADOWS
LEGITIMATE ACTIVITY
Copper Stocks for May Will Show Re-
duction of About Twenty Mill
lion Pounds in the
Surplus

j. S. Bache & Co., bankers, New
York, report encouragingly on the
copper market as follows:
"All signs in copper point upward.
Indications are that the daily aver
age production for the month is
slightly diminished. The surplus on
the first of the month was 1S3,00O,OOO
pounds. 1t is estimated that if ship
ments of all contracted copper were
called for in the current month almost
the entire surplus of the refined metal
would be wiped out. More copper has
been sold to domestic consumers IN
this month than in any other month
since January, 1907.
"In this movement in copper there
is unquestionably an element of spec
ulation. Copper bought on speculation
cannot be figured on as swelling the
figures of consumption. Consequently
the total amount which may be taken
out of the market this month must
not be calculated on as establishing the
rate of consumption. Nevertheless,
this speculative buying always ac-
companies to a greater or less extent
the advance toward legitimate activity.
Heretofore there has not been much
speculation in copper in America the
larger part of operations of this char
acter being conducted abroad; and it
Is Sdlu Lldl lile lSdulIlB copper llllCl
ests do not look with favor upon the
effort to encourage American specu-
lation in copper warrants.
Europe's Great Stock
1.-THE consumers of copper abroad,
when they wish to replenish their
stocks in advance, instead of buying
the metal, almost invariably buy Rio
Tintos.
.rrt.;a l.; H. -xroo+ oon,or StOcly of
Europe and about the only copper
stock dealt in there. And the price of
the stock in an advancing metal mar
ket never fails to record a larger ad-
vance than that in the metal Relying
upon this, consumers buy the stock
and mold it until they are ready for
more copper, when they sell out and
buy the metal and if the metal has ad-
vanced, the stock has advanced much
more. In this country we have so
many copper stocks that reliance on
ANYTHING of this kind would be more
or less futile.
"It is claimed that copper stocks for
May will show a reduction anywhere
from 100000 to 20,000000 pounds in
the surplus. notwithstanding great
activity thus far in the market, orders
are still pouring in from domestic and
foreign sources; and selling companies
refuse to book orders for distant dates
at present prices. The leading copper
stocks, it has been shown, are selling
at prices that would only be warrant
ed by 15-cent copper; and it istclaimed
that as the stock market always pre-
diets coming events in prices, this
is a sure sign of 15-cent copper before
the end of the year. In view OF all
this, it would seem that good copper
stocks-even though they are now
Welding low income-would show at
tractive profits later on"

BUYS peadwood Properties

CORONA, N. M, June 6.-Lon Jen-
kins has closed a deal for the Red Cloud
and Deadwood properties, located about
seven miles from Gallinas station, on
the Southwestern railroad, and will put
up reduction works to treat the low
grade ores. of which there is large
body, running from 10 to 25 per cent
in lead. OF the higher grade ores in the
property, six cars have been shipped to
the smelter in FL Paso which ran as
high as Al per cent lead, per cent cop
per, and four ounces in silver. The
Copper Queen and other companies have
extensive holdings in that section, and
there is promise of considerable activ-
ity in mining operations soon.

Take Nuggets from Red Ledge

ledge fifty feet wide in places, Will
hanson and Cole have made the lat
est strike at Washington in the Red
Ledge mine, at shallow depth. They
have taken out nuggets of pure gold
and the quartz is yellow with the stuff
which everyone is seeking in this
world. They made the strike in a shall
low cut just below the tunnel and from
the reddish surface rock some of the
purest gold specimens ever seen were
taken out. 1t is their intention to tun-
mel into the hillside about 200 feet and
then drift on the ledge.

Strike in Sierra County

REDDING, June 6.--Between $50, 600
and 100000 worth of gold was blasted
out of the Ell Dorado tunnel last week.
The strike is reported on good author
ity, direct from the mine, to be the rich
est thing ever struck in Sierra county
so far, even outdoing the famous Six
teen-to-One, which has produced close
to $500, 900 in the last few weeks. The
pay shoot may be even longer than the
sixteen-to-One being in the same zone,
only half a mile up Kanaka creek and
across that stream from the Tightner,
and somewhat farther away from the
Sixteen-to-One.

lie is in danger. Several complaints
have been made that they have had
very narrow escapes from being
struck by bullets. Some of those
boys have been warned and if it is
not stopped those boys will bring
trouble 10 themselves. We think the
law in regard to license should be
amended as to the age when boy
should be granted license. Boys of
10 to IA years are very careless.
They have no thought of the damage
they may do. The farmers here
abouts are getting tired of this in
discriminate shooting and will put
a stop to it. We believe in teaching
our young men how to handle fire
arms but in proper manner.

No Groom" in HoteIs.-Sixty men,
bers of Bert A. Williams "Mr. Lode of
Koal" company, which appeared at the
Burtis last night, encountered serious
difficulty upon their arrival in Daven-
port at noon yesterday. All the men,
bers of the company are colored, and
on this account they were barred from
registering at the local hotels. The
advance agent had failed to look after
this matter, and the members of the
company applied at numerous hotels
and lodging houses, only to be refused
admittance. They were to be seen
scurrying in all directions with their
grips and suit cases, and after fruit
less chase over town, the majority of
them returned to the Burtis and ap-
pealed to Roy Kindt to provide them
with quarters. Mr.. Kindt at once got
busy and communicated with num-
Der of the leading colored families of
the city, with the result that all were
provided with board and lodging be-
fore night. In the company are a
number of strikingly handsome color
ed women and stylishly dressed men,
and they attracted much attention as
they wandered over the city in their
desperate effort TO obtain quarters in
which to remain during their stay in
Davenport.
