The paystreak.\nTHE COPPER MARKET.\nManipulated bu Speculators\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdValues\nBadly Inflated.\nThe phenomenal advance in the\ncopper market during the last few\nmonths is attracting general attention, just as the rise in wheat a year\nago excited universal Interest, and it\nis worthy of comment that the saro\ufffd\ufffd\nclass of speculators are engaged in\nthe manipulation of the copper market as were interested in the grain\ndeals. Moreover, the causes which\nhave produced the remarkable activity in both cases are strikingly similar, and the conditions precluding\nthe successful continuation indefinitely of the operations now being\nconducted on such a gigantic scale\nwill be found the same that ir ter\nrupted the course of the daring operators who created havoc with the\nwheat market.\nAn unusual demand for copper\nwas created by the expansion ot the\nelectrical industries and other applications to which the metal entered.\nThis of itself would have greatly\ninfluenced the market, but the prevailing craze for trusts and combinations and corners at the time led\nmanipulators of industrial securities\nto invade the field with a view of\ncommanding the market. These\noperations soon became generally\nknown, and tbe result was au advance in values all along th** line.\nTire importance of the movement\nwas exaggerated bv the public, and\nthere was a general rush tor copper\npjecuritlea of any and all descriptions.\nOld mines which had been shut down\nfor years were re-opened and their\nsecurities floated, new properties\nwere exploited, development companies were formed and every\nmeans known to the stuck manipula\ntor was resorted to for the purpose\nof producing additional paper for the\nspeculating public. As a result it is\nestimated by conservative experts\nthat the market, quotations for copper securities traded in at the present\ntime represent an advance of at least\n75 per cent, upon the highest possible\nfigure that could be secured lor all\nthe properties of this class under the\nmost favorable conditions in actual\ncommercial operations. The ulti\nmate result of such inflation of tbe\nvalue of Industrial securities must\nreact upon the industry generally.\nThe government records go back\nto 1882. when the total production\nin United States was 40,467 long tons.\nIo 15 years the capacity of the country's mint's has been increased to\n220,571 long tons, the record of 18:17.\nTbe official statistics of 1898 have not\nyet been published. Although the\ngovernment has been collecting stat\nistics in this field for only 15 years,\nthe United States has been numbered among the copper-producing countries since 1845, when the output of\nall the mines was 100 tons. The industry in United States may be said\nto have been founded or established\nin that year. It has been growing\never since, and all the Old World\nmanufacturing countries depend upon\nAmerica tor their supply. The best\nstatistics available show that the\nworld's production ot copper in 1897\nwas 399,247 long tons, of which\nNorth America contributed 239,679,\n.Europe 88,828, South America 25,\n300, Asia 23,000, Australia 15,000\nand Africa 7,440. Since 1889 the\nworld's production has increased by\n139,410 long tons, of which tbe\nUnited States haa added 119,005, or\nmore than the entiere European output. The value of copper exported\nfrom the United States, principally\nto supply the European market, Is\nstated officiallv in the government\nreport for 1897 to have been 132,755, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\n053. With the opening up of so\nmany new mines and the introduction of improved methods in mining,\nthe copper production tor 1899 will\nprobably febow a greater increase\n| rhan any thus far recorded. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdChicago\nRecord\nTROUT LAKE DISTRICT.\nAn Estimate of What Could be Done\nWith Railtcay Facilities.\n[Trout Laka Topic.)\nTo get an idea what the district\ncould produce, presuming that tlie\nvarious developed prospects were to\ntui _ io and ship their ore which\nwrll be the case only when a railway\nis running through the valley\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe\nfollowing is a conservative estimate:\nBroadview, with a large showing\nand extensively developed, bus at\npresent 800 tons of ore ou the dump,\nWides the various workings on tlie*\ngroup.

The number of\nstamps added is 750 and the output of\nthe mine will be materially increased.\nThe Al-ki and City of Topoka have\nbeen cat rying the roachinerv north for\nthe last three months The new mills\nwill mean the employment of a great\nmany more men.\nIn this connection it is interesting to\nnote that local and Seattle papers have\ngone far astray in giving the credit of\nthe discovery of the famous Treadwell\nmine to Peter E. DeVille, who claims to\nhsve visited the Klondike in 1879. *\nThe original discoverer snd locator of\nthe Treadwell miue was, it is said,\nPeter Erussard, a Frenchman After\nErussard made the discovery he did\nconsiderable work in stripping off a\nportion of the surface, leaving exposed\na large quantity of quartz of such low\ngrade that he thought it was practically worthless, and at the same time\nhe discovered that he was not a citizen\nof the United States and could not\nhold the property This was in 1881 and\nearly in the next year John Treadwell\nappeared on the scene and Erussard\noffered to sell him the property. After\nexamining the ledge Mr. Treadwell\naiked him what he wanted for it and\nwas told thar as he was in need of a\nsuit of clothes and if he would buy\none for him he would turn the property over. Mr Treadwell gave him an\norder for the clothes on Koekler A\nJames, and Erussard picked out a $85\nsuit and transferred the now famous\nTreadwell mine.\nMr. Treadwell gave the property a\nthorough prospecting and then went to\nHan Francisco where he interested\nMessrs. Frye, Freeborn and Hill, of\nSan Francisco, and Senator John Sherman, of Nevada. These men furnished\nthe monev with which to thorougly\nprospect the property. A five-stamp\nmill was erected and a tunnel started\nTbe quarts was run through the mill\nbut being of such low grade with a\nfive-stamp mill it would not pay. It\nwas, however, ascertained that instead\nof being s vein of quartz it was a\nmountain. Mr. Treadwell again visited\nSan Francisco and explained to his\npartners the vaatuess of tho deposit\nand that with 120 stamps the property\nwould pay hnndsoincdividends A 19V\nstamp mill was purchased and Mr\nTreadwell personally superintended its\nerection and in August, 1885, the mill\nwas started and in 1890,180more stamps\nwere added, making it the largest mill\nunder one roof in the world. The mine\nhas made all of its owners millionaires\nfrom an original investment of a 835\nsuit of clothes.\nPeter Erussard. or \"French Pete\" as\nhe was commonlv known, remained\naround .luneau until 1888,when he went\ntn Seattle and opened a fish market\nSince the sale of the mine Erussard has\nbeen the recipient of many substantial\nfavors from Mr. John Treadwell.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nNews-Advertiser.\n0\ufffd\ufffd ' r\nANOTHKR BNTKRPBIS- DKAL.\nThe report is current that tbe London\nand British Columbia Goldfields, Ltd.,\nof London, Eng., through their agents\nhere, have taken over the Enterprise\nmine, Ten Mile.

February's\nshipments bring the total shipments\nfrom Januarv 1 to March 1 up to\n6,500 tons It this rate of shipment\nis continued it will bring the output\nlor the year up to a figure more than\ndouble that of 1898, will add new im\nportance to the silver lead producers\nof the Slocan, and will do more to\nstir up the already awakening capitalists to these if rest dividend-paying\nproperties than columns of carefullv-\nprepared statistics on the merits of\nthe Slocan as a monev-'making dis\ntrict. In the year 1898 tbe total\namount of ore shipped from the Slocan\nreached 17,000 tone. If the present\nrate of shipment is maintained, and\nthere is hope that it will be, the out\nSot for 1899 will be in the neighbor\nood of 40,000of a value ef $5,000,000\nThe mines that were shipper, last\nyear are heavier shippers this year,\nand in every case the promise is thst\nthe output from many, if not all of\nthem, will increase instead of diminish.\"\nAmericans are going to the Atlin\nlake in large numbers confident that\nthe alien law will be repealed.

The Arlington\nmine ts the property in question Who\nthe Boston capitalists are is not announced af*pre*eiit, but there is every\nassurance that the deal is a go\nThe Arlington mine is one of the\nrichest silver properties in the vicinity\nof Slocan City It has been owned for\nabout two years hy a Spokane company\nwhich was organised by Frank War\nson. The property comprise* the Arl\ningtou and Burlington claims and was\nUo aied by Robert Cooper and C. K\nFielding who have ever since rerained\ninterests in it In 180; John A. Finch\nhad tho group under bond and did con\nsiderabie work upon it without finding\nthe main lead, his tunnel, as subse\nque.nl devidofunent pro veil, having\nbeen run in rhe wrong direction Later\nou tho mine lay idle for many months\nuntil Frank Watson came along and\nafter looking it over coiiclud\ufffd\ufffd*d that it\nwas one of tin* richest showings he\nhad ever seen and took a bond on it for\n|50.0Wr. Then .followed the formation\nof the Spokane company\nTha propertv has seen bard times.\nTbe company was hampered for lack of\nfunds and th* Arlington was away up\nSpringer creek where no road hsd ever\nbeen built snd shipment of ore wa\ufffd\ufffd\ntherefore expensive. Then there were\nc inflicting interest* and dissensions\namong the stockholder* and the resulr\nwas slow development and a rapidly\naccumulating debt. In all 1.200 feet of\nwork was done, most of it being accomplished under the direction of Frank\nWatson, who was In charge of tbe work\nwhen tbe wheel* werenwning smoothly.\nThis development reached a depth of\n175 fast and opened op a wondetfut\nbolyof ore which is authentically re\nported to show.fr> feet in thickness.\nThe company msde shipments which\n.yielded 340 ounces ailver and 10 to 20\npercent, lead. It is said thai the orr\nis trowing heavier in lead aS deprh is\ngained.\nLast summer the compsny found Itself\nin such straits thst it became necessary\nto give *\ufffd\ufffd mortgage on the clsims. The\nllaokof British Nottb America furnished\nthe monev. -The mortgage was later\ntransferred to Ross Thompson, of Ross\nland. Work on the mine was almos*\nentirely suspended. It was when mat\nters were in ths tangle tbst Frank\nWatson twgan to work for the redemption of tbe mine. He began the arduous\ntask seven months agoand hss just completed It. The te ms of tbt desl are that\na new company is to be formed to be\nknown as tbe Arlington Mines, Limited,\nwirh hcadqnarters, probably in Spoksne\nIhe cspitslisation is to be 1.00.000\nshares and 750,000 shsres will go Into the\ntressnrv. Tlie remsining 250.000 shsres\nwill be issued to the stockholders of tbe\nold companv at tbe rate of one share for\nevery four held in the old corporation.\nTbe new compsny assum** tbe mortgage\nsnd has arranged to pay It snd sil other\noutstanding debt* of the old company\nwithin SO days. The Boston people take\nup sufficient of the treasury stock to\nplsce 150.010 st once in rhe treasury\nof rhe companv and have guaranteed\nihal the same amount will be forthcoming later if needed to niske a paying\nmine of the Arlington.\nThem* terms have been agreed to by\nthe unanimous vore of rhe ato\ufffd\ufffd kholder*\nof the old companv present st a recent\nmeeting where \"tW.OOO spares of the 818,-\n000 shsres issued were reptesenicd.\n\"Within 80 days,\" a stockholder is\nreported as saying, \"work will begin on\nthe Arlington with a large fores of men.\nThe development will lie upon a large\nscale, with all the necessary machinery\nand the plans of the company include\nthe early erection of a concentrator.\nPrank Watson paid a visit to Victoria\nlately and secured from the Provincial\nGovernment *2,500 with which to com-\nplete the road which the Government\nstarted to build up the creek from Slocan\nCity to the mines. Work on this will\nbegin ss soon as spring opens up. Much\ncredit is due to Frank Watson for putting this'deal through in tbe face of discouragements. The company has been\nso torn with internal troubles that no\nreconciliation seemed possible Snd most\nof us thought the Arlington was a dead\nduck. But Watson saved the mine although it took seven months of scheming snd maneuvering and harmonising\nto bring it about.''\nIt is rather a new thing for Boston\ncapital to take up silver and lead pio-\nSisitione. Copper investments are the\nvorite* in the Massachusetts city. -*ttat\nthe profits which Slocan shippers pay\nsre attracting attention of eastern capital\nand Boston has made money enough in\nmines to know that a venture of this\nkind ui safe. Those who know the\nArlington say that tbe mine will be ship\npin* ore within six months sod should\nU'gin to pay profits soon after.\nS-OCAK THK RICHEST.\nThe Slocan is undoubtedly the richest\nmining division in the Province, and\nfor investment pure aud simple, stocks\nin the standard mines of this camp are\nthe safest investment that offer at present to sn intending purchaser. The\nrecent strikes in the Queen Bess, Vul\nlure, Slocan Star, Reco. Treasure Vault\naud Noble Five prove that the ore\nbodies in the Slocan have only begun to\nshow their richness and continuity, and\nthen* is not a property in this division,\nwhich, with fairly intelligent treatment\ncan fall to become a dividend payer\nThere has been a stamp lat\ufffd\ufffd :y in'the\nDardanelles stock, but this was due\nmore to extraneoo* dealings among*!\nthe big* stockholders, than to the condition* of the mine itself, which at present\nis nearer to being on a dividend paying\nbasis than for some time previously\nBuyers cannot make a mistake if thev\npurchase tbe Slocan stocks of those\nproperties which are held by strong\ncompanies, or to be more explicit, hy\nthose companies whose largest stockholders until the mine give* them a\nreturn In the shape of dividends. The\nIvanhoe, owned by the Minnesoto Silver\nMines Company, has so much ore in\nsight that the owners have decided to\nput up a mill and tramway, and this\nproperty will soon be one of the big\nship'ier* of British Columbia. As it is\nowned bv a ch\ufffd\ufffdse corporation however,\nthe investing public will not have an\nopportunity of profiting hy its richness\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Nelson Economist.\nMORTON PRKWBN ON SI-VKR.\nMorton Frewen, the well-known London financier, speaking of the outlook\nfor silver, says in a recent note:\n\"Had it been possible to obtain from\nWashington a proposal to re-open your\nmints at 1 to 22 on condition that the\nIndisn mint* were simoltsn?ously rlung\nwide open to the free eoinsge of rupees,\nin other words, to restore silver momet-\nallsm in India for 300,000,0(10 of people\non condition that vou restored bi-metsl-\nism, we might under those conditions\nhave advanced an all important step on\nthe road to the complete restoration of\nsilver as a monev metal.

The\ntwo parties came to an agreement by\nwhich Mr. McDowell is given a 30 yean'\nlease of a portion of tbe right of way on\ncondition that the buildings be begun\nwithin three months and i completed\nwithin six. The buildings, which will\nbe on the lake shore just inside the city\nlimits, will be constructed 22 feet from\nthe centre of the tract and will have 100\nfeet frontage with 50 feet of depth. The\nmajor part of the buildings will be on tbe\nforeshore of the bike and will be built on\npiles. The* outermost piles will be 75\nfeet in length. The site chosen is just\nwhere the rights of way of the Nelson A\nFort Sheppard snd C. P. railways join,\nand it is expected that the two lines will\nbe connected by a neutral switch. Until\nthis is effected tbe former road will get\naccess to tbe works by means of a trestle.\nThe necessary plana nave been drawn by\nC. W.

The most popular games of tbe\ntime were \"Faro,\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMonte,\" and \"Draw\nPoker.\" The stakes played for sometimes ran up into thousands. Woodward and Copeland's (aro game dealt\nan open limit of $100 to high rollers,\nwho invariably played to win or lose\n$10,000 at a sitting. On one occasion a\ngambler named Pete Liberty, having\nlost his last dollar in a poker game,\n'stood watching the players, when somebody dropped s few checks on the floor,\nsnd in picking them up left s splitter\n(which is half the value of the regular\ncheck) for the sweeper. This diminutive piece of ivory did not escape the\neagle eye of Pete Liberty, and not\nmany moments elapsed before he had\npossession of it. The last turn was\nabout to be made with a five, nine, and\njack in the box. He placed the splitter\non the nine and called it nine jack.\nThe turn came just as he called it.\n~*h;\ufffd\ufffdi trove him two checks more to plav\nthe next deal with, at the end of which\nhe was playing the limit, and before\ngoing to bed that night had woo the\nthe extraordinary, sum of $18,000 with\nonly a splitter for a starter.\n\"Spanish Monte\" was the favorite\ngame with tbe old-timers, who playeo\nit in real Mexican stele, and ft was\namusing to hear old Californians sav\n'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSan Viejo\" and \"Tecolote Chiquita \"\nThe amount that a plaver could bet was\n$100 straight up$100\"Viejo.\" practically\na $200 limit. The term \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdViejo\" is usee)\nto denote the suit of the opposite card\nof the layout. For instance, if the\nqueen of hearts and the five of diamonds\nis the layout, tbe five of hearts would\nlie \"Viejo \" Thus, if a player staked\n$100on the five of diamonds straight up\nand $100\"Viejo,\" and the five of heart*,\nwon, he would he paid $900; and if the\nqueen of diamonds won for the dealer\ntne player lost $200. and any other suit\nwinning player or dealer would onlv\nlose $100 straight np. If the player\nwon his straight up and \"Viejo bets,\nhe was priveleged to put nn_the whole\nsum of $400 on \"Tecolote \" This means\nthat the plaver bets that another five\nwill Appear before a queen. Should he\nwin this also he is allowed toplay'the\nwhole amount on \"Tecolote Chiquita,\nwhich signifies that he bets the last nye\nwill appear before another quecu. In\nthis manner sacks of gold dust contaiu-\nin* Dora $10u to $1,000 would chauge\nhands as ofteu as a baseball in a league\nErne, until it was finally lost over the\nnk and another took its place. Many\nlarge bets bv professional sports have\nbeen made, but the most money that\nwas ever put ud hv oue man at \"Monte\nwas bv Johnny Wilson, who turned a\ncard for |0fi0 and won it.\nDraw poker was a very popular game\nin 1862, and many big games were plav-\ned in Jim Woodward's saloon, at Rich\nfield, when flour, bacon and beans sold\nat $1 a pound, and everybody had\nplenty of gold to pay for it Joe Cope-\nrand,* Joe Stewart, Abbott, and Boh\nNobles were tbe big four that used to\nplay together, and it wss not unusual\nfor one of the party to get up from\nthe table $10,000 winner. In those\nlively times the saloons kept open all\nnight, for no well-regulated poker game\nwas ever played until after lamp light,\nwhich is no doubt for the purpose of\nallowing the players to pull their hats\ndown over their eyes and appear to\nlook wise. Joe Stewart was considered\nthe best poker player in the countrv.\nbut luck did not seem to favor him. < m\none occasion he had ihree aces to ooen\nthe pot with, and he bet PJO. Copetand\nraised him $50 on queens up. Abhort\nraised Copeland $lu) on three jacks.\nWhen it came to Noble's turn to play\nhe only had a pair of deuces, hut made\na bluff* to steal the pot by betting *r*\ufffd\ufffd.\nAll hands called the bet, which made\nthe pot alwut $2.t\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd). Joe Stewart drew\ntwo card*i and got a pair of kings:\nCopeland drew one card and got a\nqueen; Abhort drew two cards and got\ntwo tens; Noble** drew three card* ami\ngot two deuces. Then the betting commenced. Joe Stewart bet If**). Copeland saw his $500 and raised him ***\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nmore. Abbott called Copeland's raise\nof $500 and bet $1,0U0, Stewart called\nA<>l\ufffd\ufffdott's raise, and Copeland laid hi*\nhand down; when it came to Noble*\nturn to play he raised Stewart fi.OOO,\nAbbott stood the raise, which Stewart\nalso called. On the show down. Bob\nNobles, the lucky emigrant, of course,\nwon the pot with his four deuces.\nThis man in his short \ufffd\ufffdtay of nix months\nin Richfield won and took away with\nhim over $80,000. which he, with poker\nplayer's usual luck, divided up amorg\nthei gamblers af San Francisco, return\ning a few months later to the scene of\nbis successful operations dead broke.\nFAILVBR IN MIS ISO.\nHe is certainly a layman who will\nattempt to designate the most common\ncause of failure in raining. There is no\nsuch a thing. It may be due to a nuin\nber of causes. Of course tbe one re\nquisite is that a good property must be\nselected. This need not be a developed\nmine, but one possessing tbe character\nistics that eventually make one. No\namount of development work will make\na mine if the mineral is not placed than\nby nature.

If people of dubious repu\ntation wish to appear publicly in\nsociety we imagine tbey should do\nso under the patronage of some older\norganization than the Sandon Minors' Union, or one where ladies bave\nthe management as their capabilities\nof discernment in such cases are more\nrefined-than ours. But let them not\nonce conceive the idea that the miners are a rough and ready element\nwith no regard for the susceptibilities\nof their friends, or amongst whom\npeople of shady morality can mingle\nwith impunity. The badge of the\nMiners' Union has always been the\ninsignia of justice and integrity, and\nit certainly is not our intention to\ndeviate from the principles of rectitude and honor established by our\npredecessors.\nTbe reception committee hold themselves responsible for any and all\nacts committed on tbe occasion men\ntioned, and to them and them only\nshould complaints be addressed.\nRespectfully Yours,\nWilliam Donahue.\nCharles McLachlan,\nJ.
