MINING DEVELOPMENT ON
ELK CREEK GULCH
The muiing developments in Canal
gulch to the west of Hadwinsville are
very encouraging, says the Siskiyou
News. The Elk ereek stamp mill is
running 24 hours a day at ' a net
profit of $150 per day, and the nice
thing about it is that there is ore
enough on hand to keep going at that
rate indefinitely. The ore that- they
lure crushing uow comes from the 75
I foot level and it runs the lowest of
any that they havS blocked out.
The shaft is down 2ft) feet below the
highest point of the ledgo.and at the
bottom the vein is five feet wide and
growing wider, and . richor. They
have a pay shoot 20(1 feet long with
2"i0 feet of bucking, estimated to be
wnMli $400,000. There is no use dis-

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR
FIFTEEN CENT COPPER
The Denver Daily Mining Rocord
risks the opinion that although there
lias been a slight relaxation in the
recently doveloped enormous de
mand for copper, the daily inquiries
at present continue exceptionally
large. . ', The sales of the real metal
thus far this month have materially
aided production, and it is now prao-
tically' certain that the June figures
of the Copper Producers' association
will show a great reduction in the
surplus stocks on hand, possibly a
complete, elimination of the same.
'All of the selling agencies and large
producers are now practically sold
up through July, and spot copper
cnii now only be secured at prices
considerably above the going quota
tions. Some offers have already
been received for August deliveries,
but the most of the producors are
rather shy about making contracts
so far ahead. ' Estimate of tho nc-
tual sales for the current month range
all the way from -JOO.OOO.OOII pounds
up to 2."i0.000,000 pounds, with the
prospect good that the total will be
larger. - .. .
Numerous small lot sales of I.nke
copper have been made during the
pat few days as high as 13 5-8 and
l.'t !tr 1 cent, and several of the larg
est producers, including the Calumet'
ix' TTcelji people', are offering nothing
uow'nnder 14 opntsi The fl(mniid for'
easting copper is notably large, nnd
in some cases sales have been made m mmm
at 1314 cents n better "price than : - - - - - --
