The copper market in the past week
new high price Of 1915 cents, This is
important TO the State on account of
the fact that Utah is one OF the great
est of the copper producing States, and
the producers will derive this benefit
therefrom. The condition Of the metal
market is very satisfactory. and the
prices are holding we'll, although silver
is somewhat lower.
The local stock market has not been
exceedingly active during the past
few days. although the Eastern mining
share market is strong. With the break.
ing of the winter, activity in the diff
ferent camps will be stimulated, and
some important developments should be
the result. The strike situation in
Butte is as yet unsettled, and although
it is said the probabilities are that a
strike will not be called, still in the
event it should, there ought to be but
little local effect.
Mining interest is again being cen.
tered IN Park City, Tintic, and Bing-
ham. Production from Park City is
maintained at about the normal ratio
but Tintic is increasing its shipments
almost weekly. The output from Bing-
ham will be increased as the new sec
tions from the Utah Copper mill are
put into operation. The ninth section
will be completed April l. Transporta-
ton to Alta is now possible since the
roads were opened and this should stim-
ulate that camp.
| OF local interest is the visit to Salt
Lake by President Aldrich of the Ray
Consolidated, who says that the mine is
now earning yearly excess of 81 per
share. The copper market is generally
