countered In the face OF the 900-foot tun-

miles north OF the Steptoe Valley smelt

Mr.. Brimm has been at work on the
ground for some time past in driving
the tunnel from the base OF the noun

crops on the surface, This tunnel has
now been driving through hard limestone
for a distance OF over 900 feet and at

who have shown such persistency In con-
tlnuing work, sometimes under adverse
conditions, will be rewarded for their

LARGE SALES BEING
MADE OF RED METAL
Millions of Pounds Disposed
of Last Friday at
High Figure.

One OF the peculiar things about pros
perity Is the matter of fact way in which
the world accepts It, considering 1t q
scored loud and long This is true in
the case Of copper, the fact that the
metal Is selling for l6a cents a pound
and In big quantities, creating hardly
more than ripple upon the even Sur
face OF the worlds optimistic demeanor.
IT has hardly been more than two hair
cuts with the average man since copper
was selling for little above IL cents
a pound, and the venturesome authority
predicting 15-cent copper was hooted out
OF meeting.
Friday sales OF copper totaled over co.
900 900 pounds. while the real figure Is
said TO be IN the vicinity OF 25,000.o 900
pounds, the red metal being handed out
all the way from 16 TO 16a cents pound.
The sales Of the past two weeks are
stated TO total at least $4,000, 600 pounds,
against a total delivery for both do
nestle and foreign consumption for April
duction of 125, ,46464s pounds. Stocks on
May 1 In the United States totaled the
modest figure OF 65. .06s 029 pounds Should
production during the present month av-
erage the same as April, and should total
per reach the 140. 900. 900 pound mark as
some olieve, the domestic stocks OF Wis
lble copper will total only about 50,0o0r000
pounds on June l, Just double the amount
called for by the sales Of last Friday.

COLUMBUS EX. DRIFT
GOES TO THE WEST
New Development Is Aimed
for Contact Between White
and Blue Lime.

The fact that the Columbus Extension
Mining company has mapped out a new
campaign, which geological
conditions promise To bring to a happy
conclusion. was released yesterday by
General Manager Frank B Cook. For
some time past the management has
dritted 10 the east on the assure from
tho main tunnel level. distance of 3bO
feet having been gained with some good
but small stringers OF ore all the way
Some values from these etringers have
been very high, but the majority OF as
says show the rock To hold value or
from $3.50 to $50 per ton.
When the management determined to
drift to the east from the tunnel level
there was a small showing OF ore MAX
ing out In the same hssure 10 the west,
but the east presented the most likely
looking direction In which to conllne the
efforts Of the company. Work now has
been started TO the west along the fssure.
and the drift has proceeded for about sew
enty-flve feet There has been O. very
encouraging Improvement In the mineral
ization In this distance.
Mr.. Cook figures that the drift will have
penetrated the. eruptive formation within
the next few feet, after which will come
a zone OF white lime. which Is expected
to be ali OF 100 feet in width. after which
will come the blue lime zone, and It is
within the contact OF these two lime
stone formations that attention will be
riveted from now on. Ceologically, the
new work Is considered based upon the
right lines and work VIII be pushed
ahead with all Dossible speed.
