BOSTON. Jan. 22.-In B letter to the stockholders Of the Nevada Con. sohdsted Copper Co, President James Phillips. Jr., who has opposed the consolidation with Utah Copper. says: The contingency that renders It in- cumbent upon me to address you this circular letter was not of my seeking.

 The action of the Utah directors was taken only a few days after a meeting at which strong protests were made against any merger upon the proposed terms and at wllica meeting Messrs- Smith, Kubn and your president secured the uncondi- tional promise of Messrs Guggenheim that no steps would be taken towards any merger until the figures submit ted by Guggenheim engineers had fiIs been verified by metallurgical experts and the accounts of the Utah company had been submitted to the examination of auditors. to render a report upon the ratio of values based on any obtainable facts and on the comparative earnings and financial condition of the Utah and Nevads companies.
 Al the meeting in question when we secured this promise in your interest. we pointed out to those urging the union how serious were our responsi- bilitie1 in undertaking to traae off the properties and equities of 5000 stockholders who lcok solely to us for advice and defense. and told them that so far the Nevada Consolidated beard had been open and fair to it's stockholders in every particular; that cur reports had been as complete as the utmost good faith could make them: and added that in our belief our board possessed at that moment the full confidence Of our stockhold- CTS

As high as 50 and 65 cents has been offered ct Douglas. it is understood.
 As the ores are proven up. the cyanide shows better gold values right along than produced by the first assays. The break into the con tact in the No l drift on the 400 level is producing good ore showing. but there is such an enormous amount of water there that work is seriously impeded. The company Is now lo- eating numerous claims to the norJa- west Of the working shaft
 Mining men who have visited the claims and have seen the develop ments are very enthusiastic in the:r
 reports. The official report of the company is nov icing prepared and
 will soon be published in the columns of the Review. Stockholders are
 happy and optimistic. as the devei- opments have aroused greater inter

 since the palmy days of the penn mine.
