Undoubtedly a large amount of the

is a sustaining factor in the situation
of the copper share market at pres

copper stocks are selling at the pres

THE c0PPERS
Triple, THOMPSON & co. LET
TER SAYS PRESENT OPPOR-
TUNITY sHOUL BE SEIZED
ELYS HOLD ABOUT SAME.

Trippe, Thompson & Co. are very
bullish on the market situation. This
firm is in exceedingly close. touch
with the real inside and its views are
probably worth than those of
any other brokerage firm at the pres1
ent time giving large attention to the
mining issues. In a letter just out,
they say:
On the surface, copper conditions
inspire no enthusiasm, but is not the
outlook after all, reassuring? I'm
provement in metal quotations has
been hindered because production has
gone forward at a rate in excess of
all previous records in the face of
a consumption sixty or seventy per
cent OF normal. An undigested ac-
cumulation has resulted. Surplus
stocks are being steadily reduced with
only occasional setbacks. There will
be no new producers for at least two
years and with the rapid expansion
in manufacturers and the need for
electrical equipment in new fields,
the gradual broadening out Of de-
mand will bring consumption and
production more nearly in align
ment.
The copper stocks which should be
among the first to reflect a change
in conditions are Copper Range, Ne
vada Consolidated and Utah Copper.
To some of the lower-priced coppers
such as Giroux, and the new por-
phyry coppers increasing attention
is being directed and with reason.
Other stocks in the mining field that
merit consideration are La Rose Con-
solidated and U. S. Smelling, Rein
ing & Mining,
The present upward movement is
bound to eliminate sooner or later,
but it is our opinion that it will be
many months before the downward
swing begins. Present opportunities
should be seized by those who desire
to take either a purely speculative
or a semi-investmnet position.

GIBoUx TAKES BUTTE & ELY.


Says Iron Ore: The deal whereby
Giroux Consolidated Mines company
takes over the control of Butte &
Ely is a most favorable one for both
organizations. Butte & Ely owned
a large block of ground we'll located.
The Nevada Consolidated had mined
up to its line in n place, at which
point there is a very. fine exposure
of merchantable ore, and besides the
property carries the important con-
tact rocks Of the camp.
The money paid for the control OF
Butte & Ely goes into the Butte &
Ely treasury, SO the Giroux organ
ization gets it's share of that, which
is much like taking it out of one
pocket and putting it into the other
of the same pair of trousers. The
Butte & Ely people recognized the
Importance of getting the Cole Ryan
people interested, and the latter
knew the value of the ground being
negotiated for. The addition will
prove of great value to the Giroux
company, whose possessions in the
Ely camp embrace a big percentage
of the known ore holding area OF
that section. Giroux is building up
in the right way and is to be one OF
the big copper producers of the
country.

YELLOWSTONE

NEW CAMP SOUTH OF WINNIE
MUCCA SAID TO BE UNUSUAL
LY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LOSE
NO TIME.

Yellowstone, south Of Winnie
mucca, is one of the most recent
camps to attract attention, the de-
velopments carried on there during
the past few months having disclosed
some deposits of rich gold ore. For
some time j. C. Campbell, owner of
the Yellowstone claim, has been TAX
ing out some little ore of this kind;
and last week he uncovered a chunk
weighing forty pounds, which was
so rich in gold, it is said, that 1t
might we'll be called a nugget. Later
another strike of the same c~haracter'
of ore was made in what is knownS
as the Yellowstone Addition claim,
and following the announcement OF,
these discoveries a large number Of
gold seekers trekked to the district
to take up locations. The Humboldt
Star, in speaking OF the new section

the rich rock came from and to To-
cate claims.
George Becker, who is interested
with Roach and Campbell in the
property where the new strike "a
made has gone to the camp to in
spect the claim from which such
fabulous ores is being taken. A num-
Der of persons who have returned
from Yellowstone and who have seen
showings there, believe that another
district has been discovered with ore
so rich in gold that it almost seems
like exaggeration to speak of it.
However, the prospectors in camp
are digging industriously and other
sensational finds made be looked for
at any time. !.
"It was not until a depth Of twens
ty-five feet has been reached on the
Yellowstone Addition claim, where
the recent strike was made, that the
owners disclosed the ore. At that
depth the ledge is five feet Wide with
every indication of being permanents
