The notable feature of last week was the visit paid by the
large number of prominent copper people, most of them iden-
tilted with Guggenheim enterprises, who looked over the prop
erty of Nevada Consolidated, at the mines and reduction
works. These people took away with them splendid impress
sion of the comp. Most of them had not been here before,
as a revelation to them. They will help materially with their
reports of progress on return to the east.
SEE BROADER F~UTURE-Also, some of them at least,
gained new ideas about the camp which will be of value in ex-
tending the understanding that there is yet a great deal to be
done here and, as Henkle Smith put it, doubtless many more
good mines to be made" The possibilities of the lime and
iron came into the view of the visitors for the first time, and,
although the majority were strictly ~porphyry enthusiasts, ex
pressing themselves as believing that the great big mining In
dustry of the camp would be in the ~porphyry, they took away
with them the belief that the lime formation would in due time
be heard from in important way.
FOUND PLENTY OF WATER-Another feature, upon
which the Henkle Smith party in particular gained light and
which it communicated to the later visitors with whom depar-
ture was taken, was with reference to the water resources of
the camp. Mr.. Smith admitted that there had been some
doubt entertained among not a few as to the suffcicncy of this
but following a visit which he paid to the headwaters of
Duck Greek, where he saw the gain in supply from that source
that development of the last several months had made and
that further development which is underway will bring about,
he said that he felt that those who had commended that an
abundance of water was available here for all needs of present
and future, were right. Mr.. Smith not only looked into the
Duck Creek source of supply while in the district, but also
took note of the possibilities which pumping operations pre-
sent, while not overlooking the fact that the great Steptoe
Valley, with its immense drainage area IS dry as a board In
this vicinity and a most inviting field for exploration with
deep we'll boring outfits for artesian water in vast quantities.
GOOD GENERAL sIT~UATION-Work throughout the
district is going along with plenty OF enthusiasm and steam.
While the sensational is lacking, as is the general rule in the
copper camps, there is an abundance of solid progress being
made. More ore is coming right along and the brightness Of
the general outlook thereby gaining a little every day. There
is plenty of enthusiasm and continued ground for the confident
belief that the winter will witness steadily increasing activity
in all quarters. At the reduction works there is excellent
progress being maintained and they will be in fine form
next month to meet the promise which has been extended of
six million pound monthly production of copper, beginning
with January
THE LOCAL HAR MARKETING market was very
irregular this past week, with several sensational advances and
declines, which probably is frightening up of the market and
placing the prices of different securities in stronger position,
which will materially help the market in the next bull move
ment. The stocks that were traded In the heaviest by the local
investors the past week were Boston Ely, Ely Calumet, Federal
Ely, Giroux, Ely Witch, Nevada United and Ely Con. All of
these stocks were bright spots in the market and displayed a
good deal of activity, which presumably was caused by the
heavy local buying.
UNITED ELY.-It is claimed that a body of sensational
ore has been found in the 700 feet tunnel that is being run on
this property, which bids fair to rival the big and wonderfully
rich ore body this property worked back in the SOS.
HIDDEN TREASURE-While this company has none of
its stock on the market, yet tt is one of the most talked-of prop
critics in the district, being that it is one of the few regular ship
pers. During the present week two carloads of high grade lead
silver ore have been shipped and reports from the property are
to the effect that ore enough has been blocked out to continue
the shipments during the winter.
Observation-Disclosures concerning this property are
encouraging for the holders of its shares. 1t is stated on good
authority that development work will soon be commenced,
which means considerable trading in the issue.
NEVADA CONSOLIDATED-Ffve in the ace Of less preparedness and
steam shovels continue busy at Cop more minor difficulties, Superntend-
per Flat, two of them al mining ore et Vanderhoef never missed a
and the other three removing over ontenrnlata on Navada On old
