for fast living always hope for greater
things in strange land.

his wife had disappeared from home,
leaving their small daughter. re has
no knowledge, so he stated, as TO what
direction she had gone, only that she
aad left their home.
Jim Houston, married man, is also
said 10 have left Corinth or Saturday
and, so far, his whereabouts are un
known.
The most pitifal plea that has been
heard in some time is that of B. A
Kitchens, residing two miles from Kos
suth, who reported the disappearance
Of ELLIS, his 16-year-old son. The young
man had applied for work at a stave
mill in North Corinth, and has moi
oeen at his home since. When he left
he was wearing dark suit of clothes
collar and tie. Every means is being
taken to locate him.

CHURN DRILL
in SULPHIDES
AT $50 FEET PARKER SYNDICATE,
STRIKES SULPHIDE oRE-GEN.
ERAL MINING NEWS OF THE
PARKER DISTRICT.

AT a depth of $50 feet the churn
drill in operation on the property OF
the Parker Syndicate early this week
encountered body of high-grade
copper sulphide ore. Sulphides were
quite apparent in the drillings at a
depth of 100 feet, and have been
gradually increasing in quantity as
depth is gained.
Tuesday the drill had attained a
depth of about ITO feet and the high
gade sulphide ore continues to this
depth.
1t has been the unanimous opinion
Of mining men that the immense
coppsr-porphyry deposits of this dis
trict, especially in that part of the
district in which is located the prop
erty of the Parker Syndicate, contain
hign-grade sulphide ores at depth.
The churn drill now in operation
by Messrs. McIver, Long and Ride
nour Of Oatman is fast proving the
existence of sulphide copper ores un'
derneath the porphyry. and already
thee is a scramble on the part OF
many prominent mine operators to
secure ground in the vicinity of the
big strike.
Messrs. McIver and Ridenour ar
rived in Parker the first of the week
and We're well pleased over the re-
suits thus far developed by the churr
drill. They have decided to immed-
lately begin sinking operations on the
Sulphide shaft, which Is now down
to derth Of about 70 feet, and
which shows a streak OF high-grade lie
sulphide ore eighteen inches in width
On both sides of this streak of ore
the values in copper and gold run as
high as $50 per ton. 1t is under
stood that a hoist, compressor and
machine drills will be installed at
once for the deepening of this shaft.

ON
FIRM BASIS
EXCITED BUYING REPLACED NJ
NORMAL TRADiN0-NOvEMB
COPPER SALES WE'RE LARo.
EST ON RECORD. ~

Conservatism once more prevails
in copper, Excited buying has been
| replaced by normal trading. Price
advances stimulated by speculative
activity have given way to the
stronger influence of leading produc
ers who desire ITO see copper's fu-
ture prosperity unencumbered by
| over initiation Of the value of the red
metal Since our last repore quota
tions have been held at the top
levels. Buying has been ON a fair
scale and well distributed among the
dealers and producers. Limitation of
business for the second half of the
next year continues in force, al
though a number Of important con
sumers are still sounding the mar
ket for this period. Buying of copper
for first and second quarter delivery
continues to appear regularly, tndi-
eating that many consumers who wer
uncovered did not partake In the
frenz1ed buying Of a few weeks ago.
Thy have neither gained" nor lost by
deferring their covering operations,
but they have at least assisted in
stopping the establishment of peak
too lofty and insecure for even so
strongly constructed market situa-
ton as now exists.
Transactions In copper since our
last report are estimated to total 15,
1000 pounds. Compared with the
business taken during November,
which by the way. was the largest
on record. this total may seem small,
but 1t must be borne In mind the
current buying is mainly from small
consumers who do not buy well
ahead. Many Of the orders are only
for carload lots so the aggregate re-
presents a siderable number of
transactions. Spot electrolytic has
sold at IS cents in tonnage lots
with higher, than 36 cents paid for
small lots. January electrolytic has
sold at 35 cents in small lots. For
first quarter delivery dealers continu-
ed to take orders at "a 1-2 cents with
second quarter business done at 33
1-2 cents. Few producers have ac-
cepted business for either of these
deliveries asserting that they have
no metal for sale. Business for the
third quarter has been done at 32 1-2
cents. while the nominal price for
fourth quarter is 81 1-2 January cast
ing copper has sold at "a cents,
while for the second quarter one OF
the large producers has done business
at 80 1-2 cents. Prime. lake copper
for prompt December and January
delivery is quoted at "a 1-2 cents,
with February and March delivery
held at "a cents, and second quarter
al 33 IL cents. - ....
