HAVE PRICES
HIT BOTTOM?
Public Evidently Ready to Buy
Stocks When Fully
Convinced.

Has the phenomenal downward move
ment Of mining stock prices reached bot
tom? The public has been asking that
question for some time. The public has
for some time realized that the leaders
have been selling below apparent real
values Of the mines represented And the
public has eVinced readiness to start the
long delayed buying movement the mo-
ment it could be persuaded that the mar
ket would be permitted to pursue its ma
tural course.
That the market has been manipulated
for continued lowering of prices is too
plain to require eluCidatiOn. How much
further the bear raid will be carried the
manipulatOrs have not divulged. They
have, of course, made a great deal Of
money shOrting the stocks. That is
game to which there must be an end
somewhere When comes the end TO
this debauCh of knocking it is not un-
likely that those who have been foremost
in it will be loud in calling for assistance
to broaden the local stock market" And
isn't il just possible that the goose with
proclivity for laying golden eggs will be
beyond resusCitauOnY

COPPER STOCKS ARE
INCLINED TO MOVE

Activity in copper stocks continued in
Boston yesterday, according to Paine,
Weber & Co.'S letter received over the
Pollock wire, although, owing to the short
period Of trading. there were no import
ant price changes. Arizona Commercial
was the most active stock, selling at a
new high price, 461a, closing 90. Butte
Coalition was well bought and is being
talked for higher prices. The operations
at East Butte for August were satisfac-
tory and costs are being steadily reduced.
The stock was comparatively higher, ad-
vancing a point and a quarter, with every
indication of higher prices next week.

BIG FUTURE HAS
FREMONT CAMP
Washington District Said to Be
Hub of a Great Mineral
Section.

That the Washington district, on the
west side of Beaver county, adjoining the
Nevada-Utah line. is destined to become
recognized as the hub Of the great min
eral section whose spOkes and outward
rim are marked by such camps as Fl
oche, Fay, Gold Springs, OsceOias Black
Horse, san Francisco and North star, IS
the firm belief of a well known mining
man who has just returned 10 the city
after having made a careful Inspection
OF that region.
'EVashington is an ideal district as to
location and advantages" said he 1T
has an abundance OF good water and
great amount of timber for fuel, mining
purposes and building, The formation Is
an altered granite, porphyry and lime,
and it is of an old geological date, It
is fissured with network OF veins Wnlcn
are highly minerallzed giving values as
high as 100 ounces in silver, Sl.5 per
cent lead, 20 per cent copper and $3.50
in gold. Large bodies OF milling ore, run
ming from s. to so ton, nave been en-
countered, and il gives every indication
Of becoming one of the greatest mineral
producing camps in the west.
"The Utah Gold d Copper company,
which IL is said, may again become the
Utah Amalsamated Copper company. has
a large group Of claims, upon which IL
Is operating with twenty-five men, 1t
has finished a pipe line, installed an cleo
trio plant, constructed extensive Dulid-
ings, and is preparing TO build mill OF

The property Of the Erie Mining COM

Its shafts and tunnel to the depth OF

fined veins with high-grade ore In sew
eraI places and extensive bodies of sui
phides. The company is just being incOr-
Dorated and is preparing for more active
work Its properly is most promising and
with development Will no doubt become a
large producer.

well as individuals, have made good

have been laid for a vigorous campaign
Of development. Six leases have been let
OF the ground and applications have been
received for as many more. Terms Of the

Mining company. Of which Jesse Fox and
associates of this city are the large hold
ers. The Iron Canyon company has
opened at intervals for 1900 feet a vein

In a Strange Land.

Two belated disciples of Bacchus
staggered arm in arm up Walnut
street about o'clock the other morn
ing The street was dark except for
a single ground glass globe that blaZed
In front of an apartment house. One
of the inebriates, spying this lone
light, observed:
"Oh, look at Zhe moonsh"
The other seriously contradicted him,
saying:
THAT amt no moOnsh; Fash sun"
This started an argument, which
lasted for several minutes, as to wheth-
er the globe was the moon or the sun.
Finally they decided to leave it to the
first passerby, who happened to be an
other "happy" gentleman. They stop
ped him and, pointing to the globe,
asked:
Settle an argument, old pal Is
that the moon or the sunY
The third party stared knowingly at
the globe for sey eral minutes before
he shook his head and replied:
Gentlemen, | really couldn't tell
you. I'm stranger in this town.

New York, March l6.-Philanthro-
pists, soi .ogis,s and others interest
ed N the saving of babies lives met
here today III a conference to plan the
establishment OF an academy for the
instruction of mothers in the proper

~ organized Infant Science academy,
the founder and leading spirit OF
which is Mrs. Gibson Arnold OF this
city.
The leaders of the conference aim at
securing the cooperation of the moth
er, the nurse, the family physician and
the infant specialist in their endeavors
to check the ravages of infant NOR
tally. At the conference statistics
were produced to show that in New
York last year the deaths of babies
less than one year old exceeded In
number the deaths from tuberculosis.
Mrs. Arnold and her cOworkers de-
clared that, while vigorous measures
are being taken to save the lives of
those attacked or threatened with con
sumption, very little in comparison is
being done to help the infants.

CARACAS REVOLUTION.
Author Back From Venezuela Says II

was in Caracas. Venezuela, when Pres
idcnt Castro sailed for Europe and
saw the rioting in Caracas Dec. II,
which constituted a revolution, he
thinks. that lifted Acting President
Gomez into the permanent place of
president, so far as any office Is per
mancnt in Venezuela. The 'rcvolu-
tion"was like an opera boutfe to Mr.,
Adams and other foreign observers.
Few believe that Castro will ever
return to Venezuela" said Mr.. Adj
ans. HE is really sick with liver
and kidney trouble, and, besides, he
must soon know that it would be fool
hardy to go back there now. He car
ried with him and sent out before he
started some SS,OG0,OO0 which he had
squeezed out of the country
Castro is very unpopular with his
own people. He ruled for private
profit. In the nine years that he had
been president. so far as could find
out, he put his hand upon every sort
f trade or enterprise out of which
money could be made. calling 1t Il gov
Crumcnt monopoly and taking money
for it. Thus the necessities Of life
were made mOnopolies and farmCd
out, sometimes for political profit,
more often for private profit"
