CURB STOCKS.

j. a. Minnear & Co. say today
Stocks were rather duh and as far as
local interest was concerned 1t was
lacking. This was due to interrupted
wire service east. The New York list
opened quite strong but the close found
prices eased off about point on profit
taking. The copper shares list was
dull with important changes lacking
anywhere i'm the list. Such quotations
as were received indicated a lack of
real interest. Copper continues TO be
bid for at 14h cents and there is ev-
cry prospect of sales being made this
month at 10 cents. We believe that
copper shares will break away from
the New York list, and when this does
occur We should have a distinctly
stronger market. The local list was
without special feature Hancock was
quite strong opening up to 34ls, but
easing off a point before the close. S.
& b. was well taken as high as AS.
Important news from this property is
expected next week.

At the GirouX shaft the work of un-
watering the shaft below the 1.2OO, or

attempt has yet been made to start the
big pumps on the station, although
1t is claimed but little damage has

the offer to exchange their stock for
stock in the Contact company on con-
dition that interest OF per cent per
annum from July l. 1910. be paid on

basis on condition that Elm River
stockholders subscribe for additional
shares of Contact TO the extent of 80
per cent of their holdings. Thus the
owner of 100 shares of Elm River will
receive $50 shares of Contact upon sur

directors writing to Manager Stone
from Duluth say: THE price OF cop-
per metal having advanced within the
past few weeks TO over IA cents. and
knowing that the property could pro-
duce metal at this price and make a
nice profit, it was unanimously decided
at a meeting of the directors that pro-
duction be pushed to the limit. and
that the shaft be sunk to the 1000
foot level"
The shipments are going 10 the East
Butte smelter. The shaft is now down
to the depth of 1880 feet, on which
level a station has been cut and de-
yclopment work is being carried on.
The orc at the present time is being

The directors have given "A lease to
Robert J. Philpott and others of this
city on the Little Annie claim. a silver
property owned by the company which
was closed down a few months ago.
The lease is on a royalty basis and the
men took charge this morning.
The directors in their letter say:
I'VE trust that the returns from the
Little Annie and the Butte-Alex Scott

TO declare a nice dividend during the
year"
The East Butte company is engaged

sition to increase the output about the
