smoke question has been the mair cause of the big decrease, but the low price of the red metal has undoubtedly been an important factor.
 The normal production of the Shasta fields has been about 4,5O0,0OO pounds of copper per month, but this has now dropped to approximately 1,750,0OO pounds. The production of one con- pany alone, the Mammoth, has drop ped of from 35,OOO,OO pounds to l5,- OOl,0O0 pounds per year.
 The Mammoth recently completed a playhouse at an expenditure of 300,- OOOS but up to date has been unable to treat the smoke from more than two furnaces. A third furnace was blown in, but the fans did not develop sui ficient draft to cool the fumes while passing through the playhouse, which caused considerable damage to the cogs. With the advent of cold wealth CT the company believes it will be able to keep three furnaces in action. It is persistently reported that the con- pany is considering the erection of a Cottrell fume-controller to assist in handling the fumes. The Balaklala company has only succeeded in keep ing one furnace in action, but with recent Improvements to the Cottrell annex it believes it will be able to keep two furnaces operating steadily. Both the Mammoth and Balaklala smelters have been idle several months of the year, while the Bully Hill plant has been closed down since July 1st. The Mountain Copper company has also cut down production. Ac- cordingly, it is certain that the 1911 yield of copper will be the lowest for many years.
 A phenomenally rich strike of gold bearing gravel is reported near the TrinityHumbclt county line by W. E. Olmstead of Eureka, Cal. The discov- cry was made in an old channel 1000 feet above the bed of the Trinity river and the owner states that one man easily extracted POS per day by means of pick and shovel. Vigorous work is planned for the spring.

Great Future for LeadvilIe.

J. Walter Beam, a mining engineer, who recently visited the Leadville dis trict, is quoted as saying:
 q have examined some of the large zinc ore bodies in Mexico and Missouri but never saw any to compare with the deposits in the mines I have visit ed in Leadville. I see no reason why similar large deposits should not be found throughout the district where large deposits of carbonates and sul- shides have been extracted.
 "The greatest surprise, however, that had during my visit was what I saw in the Valley shaft, South Evans. In this property saw a Assure vein 40 feet wide in the Cambrian quartzite at a depth of 45O feet. With three feet of solid ore on the foot wall and six feet of ore on the hanging wall, that runs better than two ounces gold per ton, with good silver and lead values, and the balance of the vein is good shipping ore. For 600 feet I walked through drift on solid ore, and it is without exception the finest Assure vein 1 ever saw in all of my long mining experience"

ican republic in which mining is not carried on proftably. Wonderful things have been accomplished by the adoption of modern methods, backed by ample American capital. Ten years ago Guanajuato was a dead mining town. One of the reasons was the fuel problem. Then hydro-electric power was brought into the district, a dis tance of 100 miles, and with it came many millions of dollars of American capital. Today Guanajuato is produc- ing an enormous yield of rich ore, and American projects are now on foot to establish other large hydro-electric plants.
 American capital is invested in the 2O,OOO,0OOS iron and steel plant at Mon terey, In coal mines, in sugar factor ies, in four mills, in breweries, in oil, and Americans have taken the lead in the development of the guayule rubber industry and the exploitation of the fiber plants, such as henequen and zapupe. Americans run for the gov ernment its railways. American stores are common sights in every city. There is great army of American employees in Mexico.
 American investors in some of the cities own the public utility plants and systems. American contractors have constructed many of the larger build ings and find Mexico a profitable field, putting up in the larger cities modern steel frame structures, which have taken the place of the ancient adobe type of buildings.-Los Angeles Herald.

Ray Central May Figure In Copper
 Merger Of It's Own.

The market in the Ray Central fur nished quite an unexpected surprise during the current week. It had generally been expected by shrewd observers of its fluctuations that the large block of stock estimated to vary between 100000 and l5O,OOO shares of stock which had been accumulated below 1.50S per share would probably be thrown on the market arouod 2.5Os. Instead the people who bought at the lower price range, were buying at the higher level, and displayed no out ward tendency to change their posi- ton. As this was quite contrary to ex- pectations, it has done a great deal to- ward restoring considerable confidence in Ray Central, which had recently been badly battered from that stand point.
 Another interesting phase which de- veloped this week was that the move which during the past two weeks has in the opinion of many been largely a

American Smelling.

President Danial Guggenheim has issued a statement to the stockholders of the American Smelling & Refining company giving in detail the rights to subscribe for the I5,OOO,OOOs of per cent gold convertible bonds of the American Shelters Securities con- pany.
 A meeting of the stockholders has been called for Jan. ,, 1911, for the purpose of ratifying the new financial plan.
 In his statement to the stockholders, President Guggenheim says:
 ''This company is the owner of IT, 75l, ,OOOS, par value, of the common stock of the American Shelters Secu- rities company. It is the guarantor of the 3O,OOO, ,OOOS of series 'B' prefer red stock of that company. It is a large creditor of the Securities con- pany. The prosperity of the two con- panies is, therefore, interdependent. The funding of the indebtedness of the Securities company is, therefore, of importance to both.
 ''At the time of the organization of the Securities company in 1905, your directors foresaw that the enlarged production of ores would require a vast expenditure of capital in order to smelt and refine such increased pro- duct. The Securities company was successfully organized without the ex- penditure of any capital on the part of the American Smelling & Refining company, and notwithstanding the en- larged operations of the Securities company there has been no necessity of payment, even of a single dollar, by your company in the discharge of its obligation as guarantor of the series 'B' preferred stock of the Securities company. The wisdom of this policy is shown by the fact that, while the product of your company at the time

American Money In Mexico.

Statistics just issued by the Mexican state department show that American money invested south of the Rio Grande amounts to the very consider able sum of 925,OOO,O ,OOOs. Chiefly this money has been put into the mining industry, but in other fields as we'll American enterprise and American capital are predominant. The figure quoted is United States, not Mexican currency.

manipulative one, was backed by a great deal more news than was cur rently known. For instance, it devel- opes from authentic news sources that the Ray Central property is going to be equipped with mill, if not for it. self, then at least in conjunction with two or possibly three other copper properties in Arizona, the idea being apparently to corral two or three DOT phyries in that state that are operat- ing as independent units at the mo- ment and put these together into another company. Those who have this deal in view have evidently con- siderable faith in their ability to put it through as it is these same people who have been large buyers of the stock.
 If this merger or consolidation is eventually put through, it will bring together into one group properties that it is believed will readily be able to show from 25,OOO,OOO to 3O,OOO, 900 tons of ? per cent copper ore or better. The mention of names at the moment would naturally be simply guesswork, and what properties are to fit into this combine are simply matters of absolute gossip. By far the most important feature of the new deal, however, is the fact that a steam shovel proposit- ion will quite likely figure in the prop erty.
 Those who have lent their names to the Ray Co. state that arrangements are under way now by which any amount of money can be secured to f. nance the needs of the company, should any be necessary. The first point, however, that they must de- termine is what properties can be put together in this group. Naturally none of the present well known DOT phyries in Arizona will figure in this deal as these properties are all under arrangements that are well able to take care of their own affairs. At the same time there are tn,ee or four smaller properties in Arizona where the arrangements are independent and if these can be put together, a combi- nation of merit will result. Two of these other properties have already  opened up considerable ore but none of course enjoy any such market position as does Ray Central. It is believed that this in itself will be strong argu- ment to persuade these properties to come into the deal. If this step de- velops higher prices are predicted for the stock-New York Mining Age.

Common Sense flu Mine Investment.

Common Sense iu Mine Investment.
 In common with general business of the country, mining as a business and industry is experiencing a period of depression, and in addition to the general influences that operate against it, there are considerations that hamp- CT this industry, from which other enterprises are free. There is a we'll formed idea prevalent that in mining there is a greater percentage of fraud and illegitimate manipulation than ex- ists elswhere. However, there is no more probably not as much for the faker in mining than there is in numerous other industries and com mercial undertakings but a combin a. tion of circumstances has made it ap- pear so.
 Losses experienced by mining inves- tors are largely due to themselves. They have placed their capital in min ing enterprises blindly, not giving the nature of their investments the close scrutiny that would have taken place in the contemplation of other business exploits. They have trusted too much to the possibilities of luck. Naturally, interruptions promoters have profited by this laxity, and when they did, rep resentatives of other investment fea- lures, which at times have been over shadowed by the rise in favor of min ing securities, were quick to shout fraud and present in lurid array in- stances of mining losses, when their own back yard held more rottenness.
 Mining is a good, legitimate and worthy form of speculation-or invest ment. It is as good as any in which people can engage. Its returns greatly exceed those realized from many other investment propositions, in which the risk is as great, and tbe cost greater. To check the desire for mining investment means to check a most prolific avenue of the worlds wealth, to check civilization, the well fare of humanity ard the progress of the world. American people are as active and intelligent as any people of any nation, and they know that the hidden wealth of the mines must be sought out and that in its seeking humanity and the world must be en- riched.
 The establishment of the mining bureau in this country indicates an in- telligent grasp of the situation. It will do much to strengthen confidence in mining on the part of those who have suffered because of unnatural conditions. It assures strict observ- ance of the interests of mining devel- Opment and the protection of those who engage in this important work. It will provide for the elimination of many adverse considerations and operate to the end that mining will be established on a more firm and certain basis.
 The money of the individuals or as- sociations of individuals can go to no better purpose than uncovering the natural wealth of the world, and money so directed will return ten fold Despite all that the enemies of the mining industry have done directly or by innuendo, it is a pre-eminent wealth factor of the world and will so continue-enriching succeeding gener- rtions as it has the past and present.

CHANGE OF BILL
 AT THE ELKS

The excellent show during the past few days at the Elks Theater will be changed today, and the many patrons expect fine show, and only this will be in keeping with the acts of fered this week. Since going on the Majestic vaudeville circuit, which on- ly took place this week, Manager Philpot has offered one of the highest class bills ever seen in the city. Many acts are included in the bill and all have been found to be good by the many patrons who have visited the show. The feature act is presented by Van Hampton and Josselyn, the comedy sketchists. This act is great especially in Van Hampton's imper- sonation of Richard Mansfield ,alonsl with his witty remarks throughout the act.

 mostly small townships. Up to the time the First ward vote was report ed in Hunts favor, Nixon had a steady lead and was holding his own in the county and city.
 If the official returns show Nixon to be winner his victory will be remarkable in view of the fact that he fought against great odds, every man in the court house being lined up against him as we'll as many of the other influencial politicians in this city and county. He worked like a Trojan at the polls yesterday and aided by loyal supporters man. aged to cast enouih Nixon votes to almost insure his victory in Jeffer- son. 4 band of music was kept playing throughout the day by Nixon at the various polling places in the city to enliven his campaign in the closing hours.

It was impossible to secure any authentic reports from the other twenty-nine counties composing the District last night, owing to the slow mess of the count in many of the counties. Up to midnight few of the returns had been unofficially reported from the smaller towns and precincts inland At Felsenthal's headquar- ters at Camden at midnight it was stated that Felsenthal had carried La fayette county by at least three to one over all his opponents and has carried the City of Camden by hand some plurality. Dr. Caldwell's $ friends predict his nomination, but no unofficial returns were received here last night to warrant any fore cast for any one candidate in the Railroad Commissioners contest. l J. W. Crockett's majority over James L. Yates, in Jefferson, in the contest for State Treasurer, is shown to be ST with si Xsmall townships unreported. The closest contest re- corded in yesterdays election is that i in which A. w. Estes and Fred H. Phillips are seeking the office of Com- missioner of Mines, Manufacture and Agriculture. Estes received S26 votes and Phillips S60. Six townships are yet to report in this contest, and Phillips will in all probability get the county.

At NiXon's headquarters last night reports from Lincoln county showed that Nixon had carried that county by large majority and Nixon declared that he would carry the District by at least 400, even after Jefferson had given Hunt small majority. Hunt was also claiming Lincoln county, but stated that no figures were at hand to make an estimate of his maj ority there. Desha county is con- ceded to Hunt by Nixon, unofficially by about p votes. The returns from Desha county last night, accord ing to figures compiled in Nixon 5 headquarters, gave Hunt a majority of 26. The towns and townships re- ported were Walnut Lake, which gave Nixon and Hunt, A. Dumas, Nixon, 55 and Hunt, 49; Richland, Nixon, g, and Hunt, 19; Red Fork, Nixon, 5O, and Hunt, IF; Mississippi, Nixon, IT,, Hunt, IF; Arnansas City, Nixon, 43; Hunt, 54; Haley, Nixon, 10; Hunt, IS; McGehee, Nixon, GA; Hunt, 6S; Silver Lake, Nixon, 0; Hunt 7.
 Two townships, in Desha, which will cast about fifty votes in all, are to report. Nixon declares that they will not change the result A mes sage was rpneivad from, NfcHohoa ot the Nixon headquarters to the effect that Nixon had carried Jefferson township solid. This claim was not confirmed upto midnight, however Friends of Nixon in Desha claim the county for him by a small major ity.
 Relying on Lincoln county's unoffi- cial returns, which give him a major ity of 123 votes, Nixon predicts his own election. There are seventeen voting precincts in Lincoln county, eight of which havqe been heard from The other nine are said to be hill townships and Nixon declares that they will give him good majorities. Nixon also claims maj ority of 50 votes, after the three townships in Jefferson are heard from. The figures at Nixon's head quarters from Lincoln county, in the eight townships and towns heard

COINED PHRASES.

Many amusing phrases were used in the recent campaign for prosecut- ing attorney of the Eleventh Judicial District by both T. Havis Nixon and s. J. Hunt. In each speech the can- didates would inject comedy of the George M. Conan order and it is a pity that someone has not already copyrighted them.
 After Attorney Nixon withdrew from the race and re-entered it, At torney Hunt termed him a political jumping jack. Nixon came back and said '.Old Sally Hunt was some thing or other. Then Hunt proclaim ed Nixon roof climber and Nixon said "The Gang, whatever that is in Jefferson count, prompted him to do it.
 In his speech Tuesday night Nixon said he had been charged with being as crooked as barrel of pretzels and rang in the Ring as the sland- CTS. Hunt, in published statement, again gave Nixon new title. that of .'trapeze performer, clown and trick mule, and naturally the voters gave them both the horse laugh when they read it. The lie" was a con- mon word used, but was never proven by either side. "Old Barley Corn played an important part in the final scenes, while Old Bill Jones" and Whispering Creed" were not lost sight of. Old Doe Gallagher. who said he had given Nixon enough drops of something to make him run away from his opponent and threat ened to inject some of the fluid into Creed Caldwell, remained loyal to Nixon to the last. Senator H. K Toney must have joined the Order Of Owls lately for there were several afidavits showing that Kimbrough remained out until a. m. one morn ing. "The Slush Fund.- seemed to
 
 be inexhaustible, but we didn't get much of it. May Bill Preston used it all in Desha, says Nixon. Nixon offered s100 if his opponent or any, one else showed that he ever brought thirteen bottles of whiskey, of any one kind, in the past year. Maybe Nixon don't like one kind all the time. Clint Green stayed out in the coun- try until rhe eve of election and then Clint made his appearance on the
