New York, Feb 5.--Today's market was
very active and ended the day generally
higher, but prices of stocks went through
many variations in the course of trading
The market was extremely spotty
throughout but the constant cropping out
of new and aggressive points of strength
served to overcome the disposition to
sell on the part of timid holders of long
stock as we'll as by the bear traders, who
were disposed to aggressive tactics
early in the day. The opening bulge in
prices met with a decidedly discouraging
reception and some of the leading stocks
on the list were carried below last nights
level under the heavy burden of profit
aking sales and operations by the bears.

New York. Feb. 5.--Traders in cotton
were slow to express an opinion concern
ing the market today and on every hand
were many evidences of muddled ideas
and conflicting sentiment. So far as
prices were concerned the bears had the
better position, though the declines re-
corded were not sufficiently important to
crafty the shorts On the opening call
the market was quiet with prices one
point higher to three points lower Dis
appointing cables brought out selling for
both accounts. The selling was on a
small scale. but prices were forced stead
lily downward and by midday the loss was
six to eight points with the feeling at
that time generally pessimistic The
south furnished a few buying orders, but
these were soon filled. after which profit
taking by pit shorts constituted the bulk
of the buying. The bears were not in

A soccessful Test.

The test made by the Vulcan Smelter Company at the I.lewellyn Iron Works an Friday last was a pronounced success. thousand pounds of ore shipped in from the mines of the Sonora Milling & Mining Company was run through and yielded 2r-pound bar oI bull lion. The bullion had an assay value of $672, which gives an aver age value to the ore of $I6 25 per ton. The bullion has been placed on exhibition in the show window of Montgomery Bros jewellers, on South Spring street.
 There is said to be about 500, ,ooo tons of this grade of ore ready for treatment at the comTany's mines. and the deal has been closed be- tween Messrs O'Keeie. of the mine, and MT. Page of the Vulcan shelter for 5o-ton furnace, which is to be shipped within the next sixty days. It IS confidently expected that with the installation of this shelter the Sonora Milling & Mining Go. will be able to carry on their usual de velopment work and pay a divi- dent of at least : per cent on the capital stock.
 This run made by the Vulcan people is another proof of the adaptability of this furnace to all kinds of ore. This is the fifth test that has been made on all kinds of ore submitted to the Vulcan people. but they have all proved success ful from every stand point.-Los Angeles Times.

An Electric Ore Finder.

MT. J. E. Wilson of Los Angeles,
 amining engineer and United States
 deputy mineral surveyor of many
 years experience has been in Noga-
 les and vicinity presenting to the
 attention of mining men and others
 interested a new scientific invention for finding ore bodies in mineral bearing ledges, the invention of Mir. F. E. Brown of Chicago, and known as an Electric and Geodetic ore Finder"
 The principle of the instrument is inth well known facts that electric currents follow invariably lines of the least resistance, and that min erals offering less resistance than other substances, are consequently the best conductors of electricity, Proceeding upon these facts the instrument transmits through the ledge to be tested strong current oi electricity and measures the re- sistance it meets. Where the re- sistance is the least it stands to req son that minerals abound in the greatest degree; and where it is greatest there are naturally little or no minerals.
 The instrument consists of TWO long narrow boxes of mahogany or other highly polished wood, with electric mountings, for making con nections. The shorter of the two contains high power electric bat tery, connected with buzzer in the other, which is connected also with a receiver similar to those used on telephones. The buzzer is also connected with a pointer which is taken in the hand and moved along a platinum wire stretched around dial plate in the top of the box. The instrument is set upon a tripod and can be moved about as rapidly as an engineers transit or level. When in use three brass rods each about three feet in length are driven in the ground across the ledge, and copper wire is fasten- ed to them by clamps, and carried | along the ledge distance of 500 feet or more, and the instrument is then connected. Then to the other end of the instrument there is con- nected another copper wire which is in turn connected with another brass rod, or electrode, driven into the ledge, aci oss 1t. Then the cur the battery isturned on and | the pointer moved along the wire on the dial. The dial measures the cleo tric unit known as ohms. If there

 mineral beneath the electrode the
 buzzing dies out somewhere along
 the scale, and the nearer or more

 the quicker it dies out. l he wire
 is carried by stages across the ledge,
 and at each place the electrode is
 driven reading is taken upon the
 instrument and recorded. By carry ing the wire across the ledge in
 this way at intervals, when the
 work is completed il is possible to go along the ledge. aud from tue notes of the readings mark the limits of any ore body beneath. It is tos- sible also to determine the probable distance 10 the top of the ore body.
 MT. Wilson contemplates organ ization of company to buy the right to operate the instrument in the state of Sonora.
 Knowing that THE OASIS takes an interest in everything pertaining to the mining industry MT. Wilson called the attention of its editor to the instrument. MT. Bird proposed a practical test upon mlne in which he knows there is ore, to which the gentleman readily con- sented. So arrangements were made whereby Mark Lulley took MT. Wilson, MT Bird and the instru- ment out to the Apache Chiei mine of the Santa Rita Mining Co. which property Mir Lully sold that com pany, and in which both MT. Bird and MT. Lulley know there IS high grade ore, from the surface to a depth of 225 feet. the bottom of the shalt. Thu: sday morning lhe ins- trument was set up on the Apache Chief, and within two hours MT. Wilson had pointed out on the sur face the lines of the ore body to the perfect satisfaction of both Mir. Bird and MrAL ulley.
 Then the instrument was taken upon the Wandering Jew, prop erty owned by the Lulley Brothers, upon which MT Bird and asso- ciates hold an option, and all of afternoon and Friday were devoted to thorough test of the ledge, across two places near the center of the claim, about 800 feet apart. readings being taken at short distances across the ledge | for 2so feet. At the first point of the readings indicated width of POO feet of ore. At the other point the indications were that the ground contained ore across a width of 243 feet. In neither case was the ledge entirely crossed, the 'hortness of tue water supply and he distance to the spring making he water used in wetting the holes or tue electrodes a valuable com
