NEVADA EXHIBIT
Of ORES WANTED
IN CALIFORNIA

The fact that Nevada's mining in
terests are suffering for the want of
representation in the mineral collec-
ton at the State Mining Bureau mu-
scum in the Ferry Building, San
Francisco was brought out yesterday
by Carl Sawvell, e. M, residing in
Reno and a representative of an
English and French mining syndi-
cate. 1t was further brought out
that although repeated invitations
have been extended to Nevada min
ing men no response no co-operatIon

would be the most benefited.

effected the properties of Phelps,
Dodge & Co., will be the first to be
taken over. >,
1t has been understood that the
Phelps-Dodge interests are anxious
to retire from the business as the
managing member of the syndicate,
Professor Douglas, is no longer
young and as far as is known he has
no available successor.
By taking over the Phelps, Dodge
& Co., properties, the new company
will control at least 100, 100000
pounds of copper per annum; add to
this the production of the Cole-Ryan
properties such as the North Butte,
butte Coalition, Greene Cananea anc
Giroux Consolidated, the latter not
yet a producer-having just been
taken over-and the copper under
the control of the new combine will
augmented by at least 10000, 900
pounds per annum, or a total pro-
duction of 250,0O0,00 pounds per
year
Other properties may be taken
over and it may very we'll be that in
the carrying out of any large plan
the Guggenheims and the Cole-Ryan
interests will be found united in the
absorption of other properties.

INCREASED Development
ACTIVITIES THE BIG CARD

well-informed copper interest says
the possibilities of a repetition of the
conditions in 1906 are very good.
The demand for copper is not COM
mensurate with that for steel and
other products, and a change in the
conditions similar to that which took
place in the steel industry last year
may take place at any time. So far
there is no indication of such a
change it must be admitted, but it is
only reasonable to believe that the
tremendous consumption of steel will
be followed by a record consumption
of copper. Furthermore, the situa-
tion will be much more stable and the
improvement longer, if the surplus
copper is removed by consumption
and no artificial means are used to
the price. At the same time
it is likely that the mines will refrain
from pushing production for the
present, and that the metal will not
be forced on the market by one of
the large interests as it has been.
Selling methods have considerable
influence on the price of the metal,
and these may be changed for the

COPPER UNDERSTANDING.

NEW YORK, Nov. Sit is I'M
derstood from high authority that
the more important copper producing
interests alter D. series of conferences
in this city, have reached an under
standing which, it is believed. will
result in considerable improvements
in metal market conditions.
Harmonious relations have been
restored in certain directions and it
is believed that there will be more
of a spirit of cooperation among the
different producing and marketing
interests in the future which will
allow of an early and reasonable
regulation of various trade matters
looking toward mor profitable re-
suits for producers, coupled with fair
and satisfactory dealings with o n
sumers. ;,

The advance in Amalgamated yes
terday was generally taken as an in
dication that progress had been
made in the negotiations which are
believed to have been going on, hav-
ing for their object the consumma-
ton of a deal which will benefit the
copper metal market. No one seems
to have any definitae idea of just
what is going on, but the action of
Amalgamated and significant buy
ing of other stocks is sufficient to
satisfy the speculative element that
some sort of a deal will soon be an
nounced.
There we're reports of heavy sales
of the metal, but as metal prices do
not bear them out, they were receiv-
ed with Skepticism. 1t is a fact how
ever, that the demand for copper is
increasing and that the consumption
as well, is steadily growing larger.
The fact that so small a percentage
of increase in the consumption would
raise it above the production and re-
suit in a gradual decrease in the sur
plus is the most encouraging feature
of the situation.
That we shall get such an increase
in consumption is taken for granted,
owing to the renewal of consstruc-
ton work in so many directions
where copper is an essential ma
terial. The steel mills are now
crowded to their full capacity, not
withstanding the additions which
have been made to their facilities
during the past two years, and there
is no good eason why the con-
sumption of copper, should not also
increase SO as to take care of larger
production.
The figures of the Copper Pro-
ducers association as we'll as the
statement of surplus copper abroad,
are looked forward to with a great
deal of interest, but as with the
statement of the Steel Corporation,
while the showing is expected to be
favorable it may not reflect the en-
tire improvement that has taken
place in the industry. The electrical
manufacturing companies now
report a larger number of specifica-
tions, which will result in a greater
demand for copper wire which has
been comparatively the poorest
branch of the trade.

ART IN CHICAGO SMOKE.
Painters Come From Europe to See

From the Chicago Tribune.
Chicago's smoke may be dsagreeable to
long suffering residents: various organiza-
tons. including women's clubs. may agi-
tate against the nuisance; but now it ap-
pears the application of that word nui-
sance is a misnomer. In reality the smoke
lends beautiful artistic canopy" 10 our
fair city and painters like it. They even
come from Europe to study its effects in
shading. TO round out the matter they
consider the Chicago river lovely
stream. However, the smoke attraction
must go, according to Ralph Clarkson,
who spoke on the subject OF Municipal
Art before the Menoken Club Monday
afternoon.
In the speakers opinion Chicago is
awakening to an appreciation of municipal
art, and its importance economically to
the city-a point indeed which business
men were slow 10 see.

''The towns Of this country are un-
doubtedly the ugliest in the world but
they will improve. II only plans for the
building of the city had been made In
the first place. however, instead of slap
ping the buildings down in the quickest
and easiest way, we should have saved

In spite of the fact that Chicago has
more natural attractions than almost any
place in this country and abroad. and the
artists visiting here say so. it at present
is not comfortably habitable. A wealthy
woman said to me the other day that if
it were not for her husbands business
she would never think of living any place
but abroad. Every year she spends thou
sands of dollars abroad, and one of the
purposes of municipal art from he eco
nomic standpoint is to make Chicago SO
attra ctive that the money will be spent
here.
This is what the workers have at
heart, and toward that end the artists
will sacrifice the smoke. which in itself
makes for one of the attractions of the
city. Artists from abroad have spoken Of
