at the judges Office in the morning
was resident II che CT the streets
leading off Of Northern avenue, who
explained to that official that he was
in trouble about a young but growing
porker that was included in his live
stock. According to the story as told
by the man he had just moved from
the house which he had been occupy
ing, and his former landlord had re-
fused to let him have the pig because
the man was in arrears for rent,
which fact had filled his heart with
sorrow, but he felt much better when
the judge told him that the other man
had no right to hold the pig, and fur
thermore sent Officer Witham with him
to insure the recovery of his property

UTAH IS SUFFERING
FROM METAL PRICES
Thousands of Dollars Daily
Being Sacrificed by the
Market Weakness,

Weakness In the metal markets is
costing Utah producers OF ore many
thousands OF dollars daily and 1t is like
~ TO be reflected before long in the
amount OF dividends paid to the hundreds
OF shareholders concerned The drop
in the price of copper already has pre-
vented dividend increases in the case
or the established dividend paying prop
ositions. and ii has prevented many new
propositions from becoming dividend pay
ers as had been anticipated Without
exception, all the metals are weaker to-
day than they averaged throughout 1912.
against an average ] of 1s.sM cents in
1912; zinc is quoted at so cents per
pound. against 6.s43 cents throughout
1912: lead stands at I.35 cents a pound.
against i.fIl cents, and silver Is clinging
between 56 and So cents an ounce, against
6eS35 cents. which was the average In

OF considerably over $4,000 a day. AS
tho Utah producers pay approximately
- per cent OF the gross value Of their
metal output In dividends. the loss TO
shareholders is apparent
Enough has been said to account for
the weakness of the various metals. Pro-
ducers naturally are more concerned with
the probable future market action OF
the same, There is little to indicate any
immediate improvement, and II the theo-
ries OF the stock market authorities are

Just as uniformly high metal aver
ages are productive of higher costs OF

w. B. FISHER WILL
MANAGE ALTA MINE

The Boston Financial News OF Marcl
8 says:
Mr.. william 3. Fisher. who has
been appointed general manager OF
the Michigan Utah properties, made
report recently in which he said.
Your president, L have visited the
mine In Little Cottonwood and
looked II over with a view Of ex
pressing an opinion as to the possi-
bility OF IT becoming profitable op-
eratlon.
I went through all the available
workings OF the City Rocks vein
and the first two levels of the Griz-
zly vein. the rest being inaccessible.
| also examined the tramway and
My Judgment Is that If your mine
were put in good working order, 1t
is entirely possible to make very
profitable operation there have
gone over the statements Of the ore.
shipped by the company and by leas-
ors. and IT seems to me that for the
purpose Of estimating the future il
is safe to say that the ore will net
$50 per ton from the smelter A
expense OF production and the proper
amount OF development at the mine
is S15 ton. [ think under the
management OF a man who is both
n good miner and Keen business
man. II should be easy TO produce
nifty tons of ore per day at a profit
of SIS per ton. or s22,500 per month
The present condition OF the mine
is such that considerable work would
have TO be done before a profitable
extraction of ore could be main
tained 1t would take at least three
months and possibly four to put 1T
in condition to produce fifty tons per
day, but after that II should be easy
10 do that or even more.
think the probability OF the mine
turning out to be much larger
producer of ore than II ever has been
so far, is very good n development
is kept up actively after regular pro-
duction is established. Contrary 10
many mines, the lower levels are
the best in appearance, and the his
tory OF that district makes it highly
nroha BILE that when even lower levels
are reached and the contact with the
ouartzites developed. very large bod
les of profitable ore will be obtained.
I do not hesitate 10 advise putting
the mine in shape at reasonable
expense and proceeding TO make a
steady producer OF II.

WHY SILVER CLINGS
TO A LOW RANGE
Financial America, in discussing the
silver weakness. says:

Financial America, in discussing tn
liver weakness. says:
Bullion dealers here attribute the
weakness in the market TO the con-
tinued high rates for money AT all
OF the leading European financial
centers. which are believed to have.
forced the Bombay and ETongkong
syndicates 70 relinquish part OF their
helped along by selling by China. and
hopelessness on the other side at
the delay in arriving at an agree
ment on the Chinese loan.
In discussing the situation, au-
thorities point out the fact that on
only two occasions within the past
FIVE or six years have prices of sill
yer experienced such severe fuctua-
tions as have taken place since the
first OF the current year In Au-
gust, 1907. when the armistice was
declared between Russia. and Japan.
the price OF silver broke from 6sE
cents an ounce TO 81 cents in Ooto-
Der Of that year. In January 2.
1912. silver sold al 54A cents. but
on the first talk OF the proposed Chi
nese loan OF SIPS 900. 900. tho price
moved up TO 60a on February l3, a
total advance OF about six cents an
ounce within q period OF about six
weeks.
On the downward movement. the
Indian baZaars are credited with ac-
curing considerable amounts OF the
white metal, while here. sllversmiths
and the arts In general, have made
liberal purchases OF silver bullion
