J. EASTERN STARTS
 TWO NEW OPERATIONS


 The United Eastern has started raising from depth of 690 feet under No. shaft and soon will be sinking from 590 to complete the shaft to the former depth.
 The designation Of 590 in the new shaft corresponds with the 565 in No. and 590 with 465, the latter depth having been reached recently by con- meeting the raise from the 590 to meet the shaft from the $50. It had been sunk to that depth before the install lation of the 75-foot gallows frame. To reach the present extreme depth of the mine from No shaft 1t will go a total of 790 feet, corresponding to the 665 level of No. l.
 The company will proceed with sinking immediately upon completion thereof.
 The two ball mills for grinding the ore to proper mesh for the tube mills have been placed on the concrete and are nearly ready to do their part oi the work. They take the place oi stamps. They use chrome steel balls instead of Norway pebbles and tht big cylinders revolve on the same plar as tube mills, pulverizing the rock after it leaves the crusher. ! A second one of the tube mills ar rived Tuesday and a third Is on tho way This will be the completel bat terN These will use chrome stee balls also. and from them the pull will go into the cyanide, there being no amalgamation.

 To come down to brass tacks. there is a professional assassin in the play who is hired to shoot young man who wants to commit suicide but hasn't the courage. After the compact
 has been made the young man changes his mind and wants to live.
 The result is that he has to be on the lookout all the time to avoid his

 the action there are interpolated
 scenes showing what he thinks the villain may do to him. In imagina- ton he is killed a dozen times or
 more before the play is at an end. The same effective means is em- ployed to show the various methods used by Automatic Joe, as the villain is called. to kill previous victims. There is the girl who choked to death on poison put in her soup by a gypsy violnist who is none other
 than Joe himself; there is the man who was stuck in the back by long knife; and tue man who came to
 quick end through a stealthy re- volver shot
 The idea of assassination as a fine art is supremely funny; and the showing of Joe's samples constitutes one long chortle Of glee.

GARTER MINE |S
 DOING MUCH WORK

In round numbers the Carter mine has 1000 feet of work done from the surface to the 350-foot level. On the 250 and $50 each the amount of cross cutting and drifting amounts to 675 feet The shaft is $50 and in another part of the property there is ar open ing of 16l feet and still another to make up the balance.
 Drifting is proceeding on both lev els and energetic efforts upon the part of Superintendent W. H. Munds are being directed toward opening an ore body on the 350 that will average up to the fine milling grade found on the 250. There are splendid prospec- tive indications in the form of values and it is the belief of many that il there is to te another real mine Tn Oatman 1t will be the Carter. Indeed, there are some authorities who do not hesitate in declaring that in time II will be the great mine of all or them

MARKET NEWS
By R. Allyn Lewis

There was heavy realizing at the opening one house selling 20, 900 ln- spiration Copper Every pool has been busy this afternoon and has marked up their profits. Railroads made q very feeble response to the big market in the balance of the list Their fu- ture seems to depend on their ability 10 have an advance in the rates. Present earnings would warrant the stronger companies maintaining pres ent dividends but should business re- turn tc normal conditions or to those preceding the war, there are not many railroads quoted or the New York Stock Exchange that would be able to maintain their present dividend rate without a rate advance and many would be forced into bankruptcy. For the moment, conditions look good for an industrial speculation. Money is plentiful-about 21.000, 900 gold com ing in today from Canada Foreign orders are coming forward and it is our opinion that the advance in price for wheat. corn and cotton will make up for the shortage in these various commodities. The country is opti- mistic and this means a great deal in buying movement. Coppers and steel are in the strongest position in their history and ali this group have either made or look as if they would maln l,ichN~ rrices We believe rail- roads will be sold on every strong spot Foreign selling has stopped for the moment but before long we must eXnect to see this commence again.
 Rumors of combination among copper comnanies to include Chino are being reviewed in some quarters. They are generally credited. A report of the receipts of huge foreign orders for copper metal that may require practically all of the 1917 output of Tinted States producers are re- turning outside speculative investment toward the conDers.
 Pullieh leadership in that group would be followed by public buying.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. Sept. Big advances in the value of wheat resulted today chiefly from seeming confirmation of worst predictions of losses regarding the spring crop yield of 1916. Prices closed unsettled, but As to 6A net higher, with December at S1.52% to 153, and May at s1.55% to 1.54. Corn gained 1A to 2N and oats lc to 1M M1A. Tn provisions the finish ranged from 7h decline to a rice of 15c.
 Virtually no wheat was offered at the outset and it was necessary to bid the market up 2A before sales began to assume much importance. Meanwhile, the demand was broaden ing. One authority declared that the total yield of wheat this season in the United States was 25.000,00O bushels under the domestic require- ments for bread and seed.
 An extreme bulge of 6hc was shown by wheat in some cases. Foreigners gave signs today that no time was being lost in getting hold of a share of the surplus in last years wheat in this country and in Canada.
 Corn sympathized with wheat. Crop estimates were materially lower as compared with a month ago. Oats were lifted by good export demand.
 Most of the trade in provisions con- sisted of changes from the nearby months to the January delivery. Price changes were irregular. Close: Wheat: Dec, s1.52%; May. sL53%.

At the Columbia

At last the picture makers nave awakened to the fact that picture without some comedy is like soup with out salt. "The River of Romance, at the Columbia for the last times today and tonight, is filled with little bits or clean comedy that set the story in humorous frame that enhances It's value as a picture entertainment. Har- old Lockwood, as the millionaire who takes to boating for living and en- counters much that he did not know existed in life, is at home in corklng part, while May Allison, as the be- witching little summer girl, has plenty to do in the role opposite the big. handsome fellow. Tomorrow the first picture ever made with Bert Williams as the central figure will be shown in conjunction with a good feature of the western type, by Peter E. Kyne, author of "The Three Godfathers." Williams, who is looked upon as the greatest colored comedian of all times, is seen in picture in which the entire cast is colored. Ut is called "A Natural Born Gambler" and is said to reveal Will Hams in that happy frame that has made his name the most famous in his race. The Pathe Weekly also con- tinues today and it is splendid ad- ded value.
