A party of as complete an aggre-
cation of capitalists, railroad men
and promoters of business enterpris-
es as YER caught fish without fish
ing tackle, left Reno yesterday pre-
pared for a long trip in George
Wingfield's auto bound for Mono
Lake ostensibly on a fishing excur-
sion, but actually, it is rumored, to
plan to secure a rich timber tract and
build a railroad from Columbus
Marsh on the Tonopah & Goldfield
railroad due e to Mono lake on
the Bridgeport and Bodie line.
The object is said to be the sec
uring of an immense timber tract
near Mono lake to supply the vora-
cious demands of the Goldield Con-
solidated and other mines of Gold
field and Tonopah which yearly use
over 5000, 00o feet VI timber.
The party consists of George
Wingfield, who is now solely in
charge of the Nixon-Wingfeld mine
holdings, according to the recent an
nouncement; Charles E. Knox, pres
ident of the Montana-Tonopah Min
ing company; C. M. Hobbs, former

THE OUTLOOK.

Looking ahead for a reasonable
length of time shows a rather salts
factory outlook. There are some
that are grumbling because of the in
ACTIVITY of the mining markets, but
then these are summer months and
as long AIS there are reaction and
counter reactions, just enough to
keep trading life in the stocks, 1t
ought to be satisfactory to any one
holding the high class holdings.
The copper market is in good
shape and quotations are probably as
low now as hat metal will likely be
for many months to come. This can
be stated positively, notwithstanding
the large output. People often for
get that large outputs of copper are
only rs large as some people make
them appear One also forgets that
if production was now below what
was being used in the trades, 1t
would be a signal for a boom and a
big one. Hence normal copper mar
kets always show a larger production
than consumption. In between
vacillates the question of accumula-
ton. This feature has been decreas-
ing for several months and is in no
wise likely to increase for some
time.
Silver is steady and with the large
Cobalt output out of the way a 10c
advance would probably develop in
twenty,four hours, SO here again
temporary congestion is not increas-
ing the load.
1t is one question to have just
enough of one thing and it is an
other to be just a little short of it.
To have less metal that is necessary
to meet the demands OF the trade,
means bidding by every one to get
what there is, with the result that a
boom develops. Ordinary markets
represent conditions pretty well as
they are at the present time, so the
outlook shows white lights.-New
York Mining Age.

COMPLETION
NEW LINE OPEN FOR TRAFFIC
TO ELKO-TRACk LAYING
THROUGH BIG TUNNEL HAS
JUST BEEN COMPLETED.

Track laying through the Spring
the Western Pacific railroad, by
which the new line gains access to
California through the Sierra-Nevada
mountains has been completed, &C
cording to- official word from the
western end of the line. The Spring
Garden tunnel is 1906 feet long and
the Beckwourth tunnel is 6OO6 feet
long.
In selecting the routes in California
the engineers of the Western Pacific
found that neal Hartwell the Feathr
river canyon assumed such a pre-
cipitous rise that it was not feasible
for a railroad grade. The canyon
of an adjoining fork was studied and
it was proposed ito connect the two
by a tunnel. AS originally planned
this tunnel, if built, would have been
about $4,000 feet, or nearly three
miles long.
1t was later. decided to build the big
Williams loop, the plans for which
contemplated the construction of a
roadbed following the outer contours
of an immense valley and cossing it.
self. By means of the loop, which
will be completed in another month
the elevation of the Spring Garden
tunnel has been SO raised that its
entire length will be but 1905 feet,
or one-third Of the distance called
for in the original scheme.
B~eckwourth tunnel is sixteen miles
east of the town of Beckwourth,
with the highest elevation of the road
bed across the Sierras, 5018 feet is
encountered. This, however, is fully
1000 feet lower than the roadbed
of any other railroad crossing the
Sierra range.
The Western Pacific railroad will
be completed by September /, when
the stretches will be connected up.
However, it is not likely that it will
be open for traffic before the first of
the year, as the preparation of the
tariffs and the purchasing of rolling
stock and other matters will have to
be attended to and naturally take
some time. The road is at present
open between Salt Lake and E1ko,
and trains r running triweekly.

COPPER CONSOLIDATION.

Concerning reports that the Cole
Ryan interests are negotiating for
extensive mining properties In Bing-
ham, Utah. including the Ohio Cop
per Co., the Salt Lake Tribune says:
1t has been learned that the Cole
Ryan interests have even greater
plans under consideration than the
mere taking over of this one prop
erty. These operators are said to
be considering the requirement of
the Mascotte tunnel, in addition to
the Ohio Copper, and it is definitely
understood that they have been
negotiating also for the Boston Con-
solidated. In fact, statements have
been made from sources of apparent
reliability that would be in a po-
sition to know, that the Cole-Ryan
agents had already been in confer
ence with big eastern Boston Con-
solidated interests looking to the
purchase of that property.
In local circles this is taken to
mean that if they succeed in taking
over the Ohio Copper and the Mas
cote tunnel they will in all prob
ability extend the tunnel into Boston
Consolidated territory, and they
have carefully considered the adj
VISIBILITY of combining the Ohio
Copper and Boston Consolidated I'M
der one head.
Samuel Newhouse, president of
the Boston Consolidated did not APP
pear to know anything of the deal.
He admitted that there had been a
great deal of talk about the Utah
Copper and the Boston Consolidated
joining interests, but that so far as
he knew in an official way, the mat
ter had not been discussed.
The immediate effect of the con-
tinuation Of the Mascotte tunnel
through the great m~ineralized por-
phyry zone of the Utah Copper and
Boston Consolidated should be that
it would demonstrate the presence
of millions of tons of ores, which
have not yet been fully d~emonstrat-
ed, and which would result in the
assurance of many more years OF
active productive operations on these
great properties.

lake for a railroad that would solve
the problem. ~
In addition there is said to be
plenty of good water power propo-
sitions in the Mono lake country, and
it would not surprise some who have
kept an eye on the southern country,
to find >that a new corporation was
about to be financed combining rail-
road and power interests in the
southern country..State Journal.
