COPPER METAL SITUATION.

There seems to be a deadlock at
present between the producer and
consumer, the former holding for
l17A cents, delivered, thirty days
while the latter is holding off ex-
pecting lower prices. 1t remains to
be seen which will give in. In our
opinion copper will not be very much
lower during the next three or four
months at least. A shortage of min
ers in all the producing centers, to-
gether with the strike in the Bing-
ham and Ely camps which has al
ready cut off 20. 1000, 600 pounds for
February delivery, makes it quite I'M
likely that production will increase.
There is no doubt but that consump-
tion both here and abroad has de-
clined during the past three months.
We believe that this is temporary,
and under the worst conditions pos
sible it could not be half as hard for
the producer as 1t was a year ago
with copper at 12k cents and twice
as much on hand.

c. ID. KENDRICK KILLED
AT COPPER FLAT PIT

Failing in an attempt to board a
moving train at Copper Flat, early
last Friday morning, Charles b.
Kendrick, a churn driller in the en-
ploy OF the Nevada Consolidated COM
pany, was thrown under the wheels
fatally crushed. Kendrick had just
come of shift at 5:45, and the train
of three cars was pulling out of the
pit. 1t is thought he misjudged the
speed of the train, and lost his hold
as he tried to jump on M of the
cars.
Kendrick was 2S years old and had
been in the employ of the company
since November 2nd, coming to the
district with his brother Andrew
Kendrick. Besides his brother he is
survived by his parents and seven
sisters at Marathon, Texas, and a
wife and two children at Idaho Falls.

WRECK TRAIN
STEEL RAIL AND RAILROAD TIE
WEDGED ON TRACK NEAR
COPPER FLAT NEARLY CAUSES
TRAGEDY.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
last night to wreck the mines pas
senger train due to leave Veteran at
5 .05 and Copper Flat at 5:17 for
Ely. The train had left Copper Flat
and was going down the steep grade
at usual speed, when at a point be-
low the Y track, the engineer felt
a sudden and unusual shock beneath
the locomotive and at once applied
the emergency brake and brought
the train to a quick stop.
Backing up to investigate the
cause of the trouble, a standard steel
rail and a railroad tie we're found
wedged upon the track, with the
evident intent of disabling or de-
railing the engine, either of which
might have been accomplished.
An examination of the surround
ings showed that the rail had been
carried some distance from where 1t
had lain beside the track, and that
it had been done between the time
of the passage of the train to Vteran
and its return trip. As the rail
Weighed more than five hundred
pounds, it could not have been done
by boys. The time was well chosen,
after dark, and the place evidently
carefully selected, with the bastard
wreck.
Had it not been that the careful
ly wedged rail was forced on. of its
position when struck by the engine.

suited. AS it was. practically no
damage resulted and the train was

but even that penalty seems made
quate for anyone so devoid of nu-

the loss of life and injury that in
variably attends an accident of that
sort.
The train bore its usual compile
ment of passengers, including wom-
en- and children, and had 1t gone
into to the ditch at that point a fear

solidated Copper company for the
quarter ended September 30 last
compared with the corresponding
period last year, follows:

During the quarter 1S,405,4 67
pounds of copper we're produced, as
compared with 1S,O92.439 pounds in
the quarter ended June 80, and H.
l57s,450 in the quarter ended March
81 last. The report says that the
lower production for the month of
September compared with the pre-
yious months of this quarter was due
in part to the treating of consider
able ore from the Liberty pit, which
lowing to its hardness, reduced the
tonnage per mill section, and further
to the unsettled condition of labor In
the latter part of September.
President Eceles, in his report,
states:
"There has been a material in
crease of cash on hand due TO the
nrofts from marketing not only as
much copper as was produced dur
ing the quarter, but also to a reduc-
tion of $40, 600 in amount of cop
ner in transit, and to the taking Over
of cash from the subsidiary compdn'

GIROUN CON. MAKES
QUARTERLY REPORT
Mining Operations Will Probably BE
Delayed Until First
of Year.

The Giroux Consolidated has filed
It's report for the quarter ending
September 30th, with Assessor Miles,
as follows:
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-11-10

Tons mined, 85,75S.
Gross value ..........$414,817.
Extracting ........... 199,495.04
Transportation ..i..... ~21,54S.17
Reduction ........... 193,6S5.16
Net yield ........... 1852
The report is not considered a fair
one as representing the possibilities
of the workings, and operation was
carried on during the entire quarter
under disadvantages, while
the property was not in shape for
economical production.
Carpenters have resumed work
on the ore bins, and II the retimber-
ing of the Morris and Brooks shafts
is completed along with the ore bins,
about the first of the year, work at
the mine will probably be resumed
With a full force.
Nothing has yet been done 40
wards bailing the Giroux shaft, and
while the job will not be as difficult
as after the fire, 1t will probably be
several months before the necessary
drainage con be accomplished.
