Utah Con. and Nevada
Con

In his last weekly letter, George b.
Walker has the following to say relative
to Utah Copper, Utah Consolidated and
Nevada Consolidated:
Utah Consolidated is understood to be
putting out about 600 tons of ore daily
AT present, and preparing to Increase its
production to 1000 tons in tho near fu-
ture. President Broughton, who re-
Gently visited the mine accompanied by
Consulting Engineer Claiming. Is re-
ported to have intimated in Salt Lake
City that II statement concerning the
present condition of the mine would
shortly be issued to stockholders.
Utah Copper's report for the third
quarter of 1910 Is issued. During the
period covered, July, August and Sep
tember. the company produced ,921
pounds of copper. a decrease OF 1.929,1Sl
pounds as compared with the preceding
three months. This production was
from the lowest grade material which
the management has included in It's cs
Inmates Of reserves as commercial ore,
averaging only 1isiper ccnt'copper. Not
withstanding the low grade of ore, how
ever. and the curtailed volume of OPP
erations. its copper was made at q; cost
OF SIS cents Il pound, comparing with
1853 cents in the second. and S.43 cents
in the first quarter OF the year
Including the dividends It received
on Nevada Consolidated stock held in
its treasury. net earnings for the quar-
ter were sl.329,967, which Is at the rate
OF S5.3l9.S63 annually, or about Ss45,000
in excess OF, the amount required for its
current dividends of So per share.
The report states that the improve
ments in the company's Magma con-
centrator are practicallyc completed, max
ing its normal capacity in excess of
10000 tons daily, Including its Arthur
plant. the company will be in a posi-
tinn to treat 10000 tons Of ore daily
after its railroad is operating This
will give it n production OF about H.
100000 pounds when treating ! y per cent.
and about l3l 100000 pounds annually
from Ia. per cent ores, resulting in
earnings Of fi.5o to S. n share on 13-
cent. and s6 to 81 on l5-cent copper. In
GLIDING the dividends 1t will receive on
its Nevada Consolidated stock.

BUSINESS NOT YET
UP TO STANDARD

New York. Nov. 1s.-R. c. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
The volume OF transactions Is still
below high water mark, but a fair de-
gree Of activity exists throughout the
country, and this is reflected in the re-
ports from tho principal industries and
the leading, cities.
Definite signs of Improvement appear
in iron and steel although business
from the railroads has not developed
as quickly as usual at this season of
the year. Further rail purchases, in
volvins a substantial tonnage. have
been made for 1911 delivery, however,
and other announcements are expected.
Better reports are received from lead
ing pig iron ccnters. Production of
winter goods this year is expected to
equal previous records.
Progress Is noted In special lines OF
cotton goods offered for spring. and two
or three instances are cited of full offer
ings being sold up and withdrawn. On
the other hand. the demand for print
cloths and ,convertibles has fallen, off.
Export trade is quiet although some In
quiries are made from China. In mems
wear there,o Is an active demand for
overcoatingssfor immediate delivery.
Underwear and hosiery lines IRE In
moderately better request a slightly
improving demnnd Is noted in yarns.
Advances are announced on silk rib
bons and silk piece goods for future
delivery. New business In footwear Is
limited. Sole leather sells In a steady
stream for small quantities.

sunk by Dan Tranter.
The Beck Tunnel Mining company Is
drifting for the purpose of tapping tho
ore that was struck in the tunnel that
the Uncle sum mine had EXTENDED into
the Beck Tunnel The drift is now
125 feet long and will require 335 feet
more drifting.
In the cave ut the Iron Blossom. a
Wine has been sunk about 10 feet,
striking ore that Is of n fine shipping
grade. The 800 foot level which Will
extend under the cave, will reach the
place where ore Is expected In 10 or IL
days.
The assessment work is now being
done on the Montana ground. The IT,
tic to the ground and to tho equip
ments on the ground has heen settled
and has passed into the hands of the
original owners.

There seems to be Il reliable report
out that the ore body cut recently at

TUNGSTEN OHE.

Development Of the 0lsen-Simms
tungsten properties in Bassett canyon
in the eastern part OF the county ls
proving the deposits to be laryer than
was anticipated and good tungsten orc
is being saved from the shaft that Is
being sunk to develop the main ledge,
This ledge is 20 feet wide and can be
traced for about two miles on the SUR
face, says The Ely Expositor.
It was first discovered and located
81 years ago by Matt Bassett for sill
Yer and gold and was found to carry
40 ounces of silver to the ton. 1t was
valuable enough to be worked for its
silver values alone but 1t Is predicted
that 1t will be one Of the largest
tungsten producers in the country.
Considerable of the ore carries from
40 to 50 per cent tunstic acid and a
great amount Of II contains 10 per cent
and hotter and also good silver values.
About l5O sacks Of ore have been
saved from the shaft that will be sent
to the new mill erected ut the Hub by
the United States company that Is de-
welcoming both properties. sa#r

crs Desirable Ores.
AS O result of n recent meeting of
tho directors of the Ely Centennial

with one of the Utah smelling plants
to treat the Centennial ores. AS 1t car
rles about 80 per cent iron. the product

Both the Garfield and International

MRS. A. Med. WILSON
Leader of the Movement to Perpet-
uate the Name of Uncle Remus.

The memory of Joel Chandler Har-
ris, the beloved Uncle Remus of
"Bre'r Rabbit" fame, is likely ever
to remain tender and green in the
hearts of the Southland. He builded
his own monument by his inimitable
dialect stories SO truly Southern in
flavor and conception. and yet so a
sparkle with genius that they were
hailed with delight by the reading
world
But the element of hero worship
always spreads it's mantle of venera-
ton over the homes where men of
genius have lived and wrought.
Hence the formation of the Uncle
Remus Memorial Association, the
purpose of which is the purchase and
preservation of 'Snap Bean, Farm
and "At the Sign of the Wren's
Nest" the home of Mr.. Harris, where
''Bre'r Rabbit" and many other of
his stories were written. This will
add another to the literary shrines
of America, all of which yearly draw
their throngs Of admirers.
At the head of this movement is
Mrs. Arthur McDerm OMIT Wilson, an
Atlanta woman of prominent social
standing, who is determined that
GeOrgias beloved story-teller shall
have memorial to perpetuate his
name and art. Mrs. Wilson is a
woman of many and varied activities.
At one time she was an officer in thir-
teen different clubs or organizations,

MY HUSBAND.

A question has arisen in society,
what a woman shall call her hus-
band-whether it should be Mr..
Smith, or John, or Henry, and the
suggestion comes back, with a good
show of sense, that the best way to
refer to him is as "my husband"
The smart set' doesn't like this, for
it seems to indicate a sort of poses
sorry relationship. when the fact is,
the man should be identified by the
name of an individual, just as any
old Robert or James that might come
handy. But that is the Smart set,"
to which husband means too much
