 NEARLY POO PER CENT.
The Higgins, Too. Feels Strong Up- ward Pressure-A Gratifying Change i1 the Michigan Attitude.

| tCtlNeli OeuOHSildteu DS tue lACi- .ents of the past few days.
 For a number of weeks the feeling in the Michigan district and also here | in Bisbee has been that the produc- ion of some telling evidence of he existence of ore in districts st a dis ;anoe from the producing properties would not only be very desirable and acceptable. but would be the means of putting new life into the situation IS well.
 This evidence seems now to be breaking through the Ground" and apparently it is to be followed by a waking of interests, which will go ar beycr1 the fondest hopes of those interested.
 The results obtained both at tle Calumet & Bisbee and at the Higgins gre now conceded to be Of the very iiahest order and as certain tp be followed by the actual showing of heavy mineral bodies, and that, too. in very short order.
 The local brokers have within the nast two days witnessed a stampede of buyers that tcok them off their feet and in the stalwart struggle to secure Calumet & Bisbee stock for buyers all Fiuds of fancy prices have been offer ed by local people, but in some way a 'hanee has taken place in the north country. where reports have claimed hat holders of most any Arizona stock were just waiting around for any chance to unload. Their attitude must have changed seriously. for though c. & B. prices of the day be- fore were raised 8 per cent. then 100 per cent. still these bids were not ef- lective in dislodging a single sha and the brokers were practically pow erless 10 pnt their hands on even small lots of this stuff. At one point a price of s7 per share was quoted and wire from Michigan made an offer of sS. It is known that there were practically DO shares obtainab'e.
 Just what the conditions will be to- day is uncertain. but judging by in formation contained in many wires received from the north yesterday. it
  much higher. The c. & B. has long been a popular favorite in the north ard now that it is one of the first to show strongly favorable signs, it is ra0idlv gaining in popular approval.
 Michigan and Minnesota papers are latest events in the Bisbee field ani very strong boom feeling has again shown itself
 The Higgins. too. achieved a con- l siderable advance but the knowledge of its chaneed formation has appar- eltly not yet become known as a very sharp advance in this stock is predicted within a day or two.
 As to the situation at both of these properties. ii may be said that sink irg at tho Higgins was neces saTily dis continued. as still greatri flow of water wss encountered after blasting at midnight on Monday. and during the day the water raised uU in the shaft about seven feet. No further at temnt will be made to lift tre water until a pump can be brought in and :! installed
 The machines in the shaft were lift | ed to the surface and while waitir 2 ! the arrival of the pump and equip- ment. some shaft improvements will be made and ladders installed | Fve-vore around the shaft feels greatly encouraged at the radical cha and samples of the new for nation shown about town were spok- en of as very satisfactory The for nation here is now much more broken than formerly and evidences of the action of the mineralized water on the rock are very pronounced. red yellow brown and green colors showing abundantlv. while the general mass has a dark chocolate colcr.

 It seems odd that the Glance and the Higgins should both be placed .ern porarily on the retired" list. await ing pumps. at so nearly the same time. Abundant water in both of these shafts is generally conceded to be 2 desirable circumstance, and that fur ther development at both points will be rewarded with good results is more than probable
 What all these changes in the local situation aye ant to lead up to car only be surmised, but the presen
