The matter of the assessment of the United Verde mines and inn provements in Yavapai county will probably have to be settled in the courts. The company has offered to settle on basis of $22, 1000, but the levy against that property runs over $4S,OO0. It was thought that there was a movement on foot to compromise the matter with Clark, but the supervisors remained firm and instructed the county attorney to proceed with the suit.

If Utah wants that portion of Arizona lying north of the Colorado river. perhaps she would be willing to pay a fair consideration for it. The territory in question is so iso- lated by physical barriers that it can never be of any real value to us.-Globe Silver Belt.
 We might as well have her annex all of the territory, then we'd sure get statehood.

Just as the choir of the M E.. church had rendered about half an anthem at last nights services, the electric lights went out, leaving the church in total darkness. Rev. A. NJ. Gibbons, however, immediately proceeded to deliver his sermon and delivered the entire discourse while the church was in darkness. Just as the services had concluded and the congregation had filed out of the church the lights returned Prescott Journal Miner

It is learned that the engineers of the geological survey, now at work at the Bulls Head, on the Colorado river, will report that a dam 100 feet in height can be built to raise the waters of that great stream to the height necessary for irrigation and electrical purposes. The building of this dam would be one of the greatest feats undertaken by the government in the United States and would make of the Colo rado river valley the richest spot on the American continent.-Mo- have County Miner.

m,r,bv S. Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, February 19.-The stock market today was extremely irregular hut although the activity shown was spas modic a large total of transactions was rolled un. The movement of prices was similarly by fits and starts put oh ehe whole substantial improvements were made About noon intense uulihess pre- vailed and speculators hesitated owing to uncertainty as to the charActer or the forthcoming bank statement and revival of discussion AS to the possible action of United States Supreme Court next Mon day in the Northern Securities case. In inc afternoon. however, a more confident temper was developed by speculation and A rather sensational upward movement then took place in the shares or the Southern Iron and Steel Company.
 There were numerous special demon strations of strength inspired by condi tions particular to the properties affected It was in the last hour that large trans actions took place In Tennessee Coal and Iron and on rumors that the way was being prepared for a return to dividends. The price advanced over 3 per cent.
 Colorado Fuel and Iron rose about 2 per cent; United States Steefs were hrm but without material advance. Among the specialties that scored sharp advan- ces were Virginia Chemical. snuff, rub Der and grass twine. Distilling of Amer lea preferred continued to show reac- tionary tendency. In the railroad list Evansville and Terre Haute preferred rose per cent from the opening. The common also sharply advanced on ru- mors of probable merger with large corporation.

 New Orleans, February 19. - Liverpool displayed some steadiness today. but the trifiihg improvement recorded when com pared with the strength exhibited in American markets yesterday was rather disappointing to those who contributed support to the situation. Besides. pri- vate cables conveyed the discouraging information that spots were unstable in English markets even at material concession from prevailing prices, though spots were officially quoted steady and unchanged, with sales of 1000 bales, while deliveries were marked a shade higher. It appears That the continued heavy movement is causing foreign traders to place more credence in large crop esti- mates, and the belief is doubtless spread ing abroad that the South still has an enormous quantity of cotton to dis pose of.
 Aside from heavy receipts, which con- tinue to exercise a restraining influence on the upward tendency of prices, and the steady flow of exports from the coun-

UNION PACIFIC AND

 Hour of Business SMALL STOCKS ARE ACTIVE These Movements Brought a Harden Ing Tendency and Caused the Shorts to cover---No Gold
 Export Today.
SMALL STOCKS ARE ACTIVE

New York, February 19.-The activity in today's stock market was concentrated in the final hour when Union Pacific and St. Paul, after lying quiescent all oay' were suddenly pressed up about point over last night for Tennessee Coal, the reason for which was not explained, but which carried the price 3A over last week. These movements coming on top of desultory advances in number Of stocks not usually prominent induced hardening tendency all around and caused the shorts to cover
 The earlier strong points meantime suf- fered from realizing so that the closing was higher but active. The speculative activity was confined to the high priced industrials and the stocks of small rail- road systems up to that time. The move- ment in Sugar and Amalgamated Copper was very cratic, and after traversing a wide range they closed today with net gains of only a fraction.
 The dealings in the United States Steel stocks were very large and buying by brokers usually used by syndicate inter ests was on a large scale but the specu- lative element refrained from following this initiative which was supposed to be based on tentative propositions to con- vert the preferred stock into per cent bond. The movement in the stocks was very narrow The Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville stocks and Evansville and Terre Haute stocks made sensational ad- yances on the belief that they are to be Included in coming consolidation.
 The United States rubber stocks were
 I |, movement in other minor stocks, some showing new strength and others drop ping back sharply after recent unex- pained advances.
 The general market was inclined to De reactionary. During the morning the Readings showed the effect of proht-tak- ing. The question of gold exports tomor- row was an open one all day, ana the decision not to send gold was an 1nflu- ence in the late rally. Rates for money are unchanged, but the undertone Is firm. The flow of funds from the interior to this center has become small. The fact is evident that syndicates and large cap italists are following up the resources of the money market as closely as possible, taking up the greater part of the avail able credits and the professional specu- iator, with borrowed money on margins, knows from hard experience that his con yenience is the last to be consulted While other requirements are to be met in the money market. With the uncertainties ot the Northern Securities and the coming dubious period regarding the wheat crop spectators are disposed to be cautious.
 There is a continued demand for bonds in various grades, but the movement or prices continues irregular owing to the occasional profit-taking. The general ten hency was, however, firm Total sales, par value $3, ,665 GOO. United States refund- ing 2s advanced IS per cent on the last call.

try, which encourages the belief in in- creased requirements for consumption, there Is nothing special to note in con nection with the market. The same steady undertone is apparent and the pressure coming from the influence of the movement is duly resisted The range of fluctuations was narrow and closing quotations are to points below yes- terday.
 If the size of this crop Is to be within the scope of small estimates, then the present course of receipts is remarkable, to say the least, and If the level of prices depended on this feature solely, it Is quite probable that a material depression would have been observed ere this; but there are many who feel convinced that trade requirements have greatly ex- banded and that the long-expected per pendicular drop in receipts will soon occur.
