The sudden drop in the price of copper, and the present uncertain level of the red metal, have undoubtedly had a depressing effect upon many producers of the meial whose properties are still in the development stage. J. H. Barker, of Bancroft, Idaho, has closed a deal by which his splendid property, the lead Center, located in the Caribou forest reserve, six miles south of Soda Springs, will pass into the hands of a $100,000 close corporation. The most sensational strike of copper ore ever made in the camp of Yerington, Nevada, has just been recorded in the property of the Mason Valley company. A winze is now being sunk on a body of black oxide ore that averages 55 per cent copper. Another oil strike has been made in the Utah fields, this time at Fillmore. In the Fillmore field the oil is largely mixed with gas. At Cedar City, wells are being bored, but only gas has been obtained, although there are large quantities of it and strong pressure.

Ralph Beame, of the a Eddy, recently found a blowout which to be probably one'of the richest strikes made this past summer. During the recent strike of machinists in Butte every man employed by the Butte & New York remained at his post.

The Fundicion smelter, in Sonora, Mexico, will be ready for business by October 1. With the first unit of this smelter in operation the company will treat 250 tons of ore a day at the maximum cost of $12 a ton, or $900,-00for 75,000 tons a year. The ore is valued at $37.40 per ton in copper, gold and silver. Work was started recently on the new building of the Hanson Consolidated Silver mines at Port Arthur, Canada, which is to contain 30 addithe totional bringing stamps, tal of the mill up to 50 stamps. It is the announced purpose of the management to keep adding stamp-- until 160 are in operation. In the property of the company, which is located east of the Mason Valley mines, the workmen are now opening up a five-foledge that is different from those being developed by most of the Yerington companies in the character of its ore, as it carries well in lead and silver, in addition to copper and gold. Official reports filed in the office of Nixon & Wingfield. at Goldfield, fully substantiate, it is claimed, the importance of the silver-golstrike on the Eagle at Fairview. Oeorge Wingfield says permanency with depth is proved by the fact that the ore is straight sulphide with no symptoms of oxidation, not to mention otner signs. the Yerington Beyond all doubt Copper shaft has penetrated Into the real sulphide zone, thus demonstrating the extence of the same at somewhat more shallow depth than was anticipated by the management.
