DETROIT, Ian 25.-Close: Another
day OF extreme dizziness In wheat and
nothing changed In the general sltua :
ton. The bulls stand pat and the
bears are afraid to make an attack.
Expectations OF both came true. As
the bears predicted worlds exports
were large, and as the bulls predicted
there was heavy decrease in the
American visible supply. There are
lots OF bears In Chicago, but they are
Prices held within small fraction IN

BY CAvING SYSTEM
The mining Will all be done by the
caving system and 1t Is believed that
the very best results Will be obtained
by this method. The average assay of
the ore demonstrates that 1t carries
1.75 per cent copper with trace OF
gold and silver Assuming a concen-
tration of Is Into 1 and an extraction
OF so per cent with the usual
smelling deductions. we find lo
tons of ore producing 4s9 pounds
OF copper which is equivalent to abour
70. 900 pounds per day, or %, 900, 600 pounds
of copper per year 1t Is the inten-
ton, and provision has been made, In
laying ont the present mill. for doubling
the capacity of the same in the near
future, which will give an average out
put of $4,000, 900 pounds of copper per
year
with the present mill of 5000 tons
capacity there is enough ore in sight
to keep the concentrator running at its
full capacity for 10 years. With only
12 acres of its 120 developed. there is
every prospect that by further devcl
opment there Will be enough ore to
keep the plant running for two de-
cades or more.
NEW ORE BODY FOUND.
Recently a new vein. entirely inde-
pendent from the main body of the
Ohio lode. was struck 500 feet north of
the hanging wall OF the present big
ore body. This vein Is over four feet in
width and is on the 500-foot level. 1t
carries metallic values in gold silver
and copper TO the amount of about $l2
per ton. Development Is now under
way on this vein. which will materially
increase the value OF the Ohio prop
erty.

During the past few months the Cop

The last quarterly report of the COM
pany sent out by General Manager d
G. Jackling. as chairman of the execu-
tive committee. with c. NJ. MacNeill
and Spencer Penrose, shows some in
teresting facts as to the company'S
progress. During July and August the
Copperton mill was closed down for
alterations, the Garfield mill continued
practically the samc tonnage through
out the last three months. the amount
varying but a few hundred tons from
the average for the quarter. In part
the report says:
INCREASES ACREAGE.
'As predicted In the last quarterly
report. the average grade and char
acter OF the ores treated wore some-
what improved during the third
quarter to the extent of LIS pounds of
copper per ton OF ore. although II was
still low grade portion os our orc
body. Until about a year ago, this
part of the deposit was excluded from
all calculations OF our ore reserves,
as 1t was thought to be too low grade
to be treated at profit. but now, on
account of more recent DEVELOPMENTS
having shown a slightly better average
value In that particular territory than
vas indicated by the earlier workings.

THE UTAH COPPER.

n GIANT among the low cost pro-
ducers OF copper is the Utah Copper
company. which in two years time has
established an enviable name for It's
elf. Four years ago ground was brok-
en- for the 60oOton mill of the com
pany at Garfield and in the short time
that It has been operating 1t has plac-
ed itself in the foremost rank of cop
per producers. 1t Is now the fourth
largest producer in the United States
and the second In producing copper at
a low cost Only one other has been
able to produce copper at u lower
price.
Among the accomplishments of
this great company are: high extrac-
tion from the lowest grade porphyry
ore treated by any company. the larg-

pense, amounted to 9S3 cents per ton,
making the total average cost of min
ing for the quarter 25.22 cents per ton
Thus the total average cost of mining
and milling at both plants, including
all charges. is S2.07 cents per ton.
Ono of the greatest changes of tho
year by the company is the almost
total abandonment of under ground
work and the devoting of all its ener-
giles to steam shovel work. At present
only development work is being car
ried on under ground and only such
ore as it taken out in this work Is
shipped. At present a very small force
Is employed under ground.
The company continues to increase
its area of steam shovel ore by 1.250.00O
tons a month. Stripping operations

The first unit or quarter which started
in operation in the latter part OF
November has demonstrated that the
average capacity will be $50 tons of
crude orc each day for each quarter,
which IS equivalent TO 5000 tons for
the entire plant.
An average saving Of so per cent will
be made, which was anticipated when
the plans for operation were first made.
Previous to the building OF this mill
about $4,000 tons of ore were run
through the old Winnamuk mill in
Bingham Canyon with Wow of testing
the concentrating qualities OF the ore
The run demonstrated that with this
incomplete mill saving of IS per cent
was made of the copper values. With
a new mill. full so per cent recovery
WIS expected to be made and this
opinion has been justified by recent
operations.
1t is the third large mill built to
treat tho low grade ores of Bingham

aScr Colin Mcintosh announced that Ii
would not be many months before the
mill would be running. In spite of
many delays due to material falling
to arrive, the company is now on the
road to the rank of one of the big pro-
ducers.
The completion OF the main transpor-
tation tunnel. tapping the ore body of
the Ohio 1.400 feet on the dip of the
voin below the collar of the shaft, has
demonstrated that the company has
practically 13,50o,o0O tons OF ore in

town, and as a consequence all
| Of the stores did a large business
We made it a point to talk with
a number of farmers from differ
ent sections of the county that
day in regard to the condition

opinion seems to be that the
wheat now looks as if it was
pretty badly damaged. Even the
most conservative and the most
optimistic will admit that 1t Is
at least injured in spots. Some
seem to think that with the prop

it will come out all right, while
Others say that there are places
where it is literally blown out OF
the ground, and that they intend
to pillow it up in the spring and
plant the ground in corn, 50 that

To Stop Bleeding at the Nose,

A man in travelling from New Eng.
land to his home In New Jersey had Q
violent nosebleed on the train. Every
aid was rendered, and the usual rene
dies, such az leo On the neck, q key
thrust down the back and all sorts Of
things, were Intellectually tried. So
profuse was the hemorrhage that
when New York was reached he was
too weak to 60 to q physician unat
tended. The application Of tincture Of
eucalyptus promptly stopped the bleed.
Ing. This Is an exceedingly valuable
remedy, and should be indelibly
stamped upon our memories. A small
vial should be placed In every family
medicine chest.
