Mining Co. was in town last week and
reports things looking prosperous in
his section OF the country. He is now
engaged in sinking an incline shaft ON
the Lone Pine group of three claims
and is being rewarded by finding ore
that runs SO so in silver, S. 40 in gold
and carries 10 per cent copper content.
The vein being followed is about five
feet in width and the streak carrying
the above values occurs in this vein.
The property is situated only a few
miles from the Nevada and Californ-

road and a downhill haul from the
mine TO the railroad The Calaverite
Company expects to ship ore from this

Bullion From Como.

initial run OF the recons nstructed quartz
mill at Como by the Nevada Deep
Mines Co. The returns are very pleas

cyanide plant for the mill has not yet
been completed. but whcr it is the ore
will be worked to close percentage
OF its content in gold and silver De-
velopmcnt work which has been going
on has exposed a good tonnage of ore
in the mine which is ready for stopiny.

NATCHEZ TUNNEL STRIKE.
Malachite Company Has One More
Face of Shipping Copper.

A development that gives promise OF
being of especial importance to the
Yerington Malachite company was re
ported by wire to the local Offices in
Salt Lake City last Thursday by Cen
eral Manager Grant Snyder, who has
been at the property for the past week.
This word was to the effect that the
Natchez tunnel level ore has changed
from a low to a very good grade of
copper rock, the average being slightly
better than five per cent copper.
The Natchcz tunnel has been work
ing through a low grade copper ore
for some little time, and on Wednes
day last a good part of the face
showed the improved value with the
conditions such that the whole face
should be of the better grade at any
round of holes 1t is presumed that
this improved condition has been
brought about by cross-cut from the
main tunnel. but should it prove to be
this. or an Improvement in the vein
itself along the trend, the discovery is
very important and welcome. as it will
materially increase the ore shipment
ability of the management from now
on.
This new discovery is not on the
same vein as was encountered by WY
OF the No 3 tunnel level o. .he Mason
Valley mine. but it is parallel vein
and one giving practically equal prom
Use with he other. The Natchez tun-
mel work is all of 1900 feet southastcr
" from the ore found via the Mason
Valley When last reported, the latter
ore body was holding out with all
faithiulness. and shipments to the
nearby smclter are being made rcgu-
larly

pored that the postofiice at Fcrnlcy
has been ordered discontinued by the
department. the order to take effect
on tn. 18th Of this month. No .rca-
son has been assigned for the move,
but in the meantime Fcrnlcyitcs are
up in arms and will vigorously protest
the ruling Fernlcy is a section that
is to be cvcrgrowing and the postal
edict is very manifestly
unjust It should have its identity
added to by the continuance Of a post
office and the States congressional
delegation should see to il that the
order is not executed.

NEW YERINGTON COPPER.
New Ore Encountered in Shaft and in
Tunnel Face.

The New Icrington is certainly
some pumpkins just now. The raise
in the tunnel is being pushed rapid
" ahead and is producing a fine grade
Of ore which is going to the ore bins
in quantity every day. The east drift
ON the 40O-ioot level has a full brea st
of ore of high grade quality. The dia-
mond drill is putting down holes as
rapidly as possible IN sinking the

for the purpose of securing more wa

splendid commercial value. Superin-

to be more valuable than even the

COPPER MARKET HEALTHY.
Consumption Large and Small Stocks
Not Being Replenished.

NOT BENG NeplenlSneo.
The National Cable & Conduit Co,
in its regular issue OF Copper Cos
sip. says:
The iirmness OF the market and the
recent large buing demand were con
spicuous features of the copper situa
ton during the last thirty days. New
requirements compelled liberal en-
gagcments for the balance OF the year,
and. heavy sales made up record of
remarkable activity in the space OF
three or four weeks Europe sent sub
stantial orders. and the domestic sales
swclled the total business to impress
i've dimensions. Under the influence
OF a strong demand the underlying
tendency of prices to advance appeared
but with few exceptions there has
been no attempt to rush up prices un-
til the recent buying movement was
fully satisfied The stability of the
market is worth more in the estima-
ton of those who desire to keep it
porary advantage which might be
upon 4 steady even keel than any tenn
gained by pushing the price to the
danger point.
Consumption OF copper throughout
the United States during the last six
months has furnished one of the very
best reasons for a more confident feel
ing in the market Development at
the leading manufacturing plants OF
the country Indicate clearly the great
Improvement in the trades using the
products of brass and copper mills,
and ii the same ratio and demand is
maintained for another six months
it will go far towards keeping the cop
per situation i'll a sound condition.
There is every probability of a heavy
consumption next year, and 1t Is the
opinion of leading authorities that the
business increase of our country will
be steady and sound for months to
come Copper requirements for do
mesitc and foreign accounts are GER
tain to reach high level during the
next eighteen months. and for that
reason we anticipate active industrial
conditions.
The market for copper, however,
has had a large advance. and unless
the movement into consumption be
comes more extensive it may prove a
difficult task to lift prices higher in
the face of the present heavy produc-
ton. \ new record of refinery out
put was established recently amount
ing to l45,62S52l pounds OF market
able copper for the month OF August,
and the September production was at
very nearly the same rate per day.
Evidently, the rclineries are catching
up with the mine output, and capacity
for turning out refined copper has de
vcloped to scale OF 100000 pounds
a day. The surprisingly large increase
in surplus stocks on October indi-
Gates what may happen at any time
should deliveries ease off suddenly.
1t is apparent. therefore. that domes-
tic consumption and XportS must be
maintained in enormous volume to
keep the market thoroughly sound.
\ few months later we may see some
falling off in refinery production as the
result of strike conditions at Utah and
Nevada mines. but when normal op-
cratiOns are restored as these proper
ties it will not take long for a rcsump-
ton of production on a heavy scale
in the districts named"

tinued to the time of his death, De-
cember 26, at the age of 72 years.
He was taken with sciatic rheuma-
tism in April, 1911, and steadily
failed under this ailment until
about one month ago, when it sud
denly left him, but in such a weak
condition that he easily contracted
pneumonia and had not sufficient
strength to throw it off. He failed
until he passed away
peacefully. He had been a member

KINDERGARTEN METHODS
TRAIN DALLAS CHILDREN
Teacher From Chicago Opens School
in Annex With Twelve Little
Pupils Enrolled.

Miss Elizabeth Montgomery, a
trained kindergarten teacher from
Chicago, opened a private kinder
garten in the front room Of the an
mex to the Public school building
today. She has called on number
of the former patrons of the kinder
garten here and without exception
they have gladly agreed to support
the new school. There will be ten
or dozen little students to begin
with. and it is likely others will take
advantage of this rare opportunity.
The kindergarten movement which
is SO firmly established as a neces-
sary part of the public school sys-
tenn in many states that are advanc-
ed educationally, has not yet become
we'll known in Oregon, but it is only
question of time before it will
want to put itself ON record as a
progressive state in that respect too.
For the convenince of many of
the mothers Of little children, Miss
Montgomery's school will be held af-
ternoons, from / 80 to 4:30. Terms
are exceedingly reasonable.
