List. Parties who Bought Are
 Their Representatives.
 The statement made in the Bisbee newspapers to the effect that the Dutch Baker" group of claims have been bought up by Calumet & Arizona poration and intend developing this new property in the Warren district is denied by local officials of the big corporation. None of them have any thing to do with the Dutch Baker claims or the new proposition which propose to develop them. nor have they any knowledge that other officials of the Calumet & Arizona are inter. ested.
 The group of claims is one familiar to all visitors to the Warren district A little shack of a cabin stands in the center of the group and almost every body who drives by the property asks who owns it and what price is wanted for it. A month ago the price asked for the claims was considered outrageously high. The claims are tairly well located and the proposition was perhaps one of the best that had not yet been fioated in that district At the local offices of the Calumet & Arizona company the officials say they know nothing whatever of the deal. except what they have read in the Bisbee papers. The story pub lished in the Bisbee Review stated DOS itively that the deal had been en gineered by the same people who are so heavily interested in the Calumet & Arizona, Lake Superior & Pittsburg and Calumet 6 Pittsburg. but this iy denied. The local officials say tha; some of the Duluth or Pittsburg men may have gone into it, but if they did nothing whatever was said to the Cal umet people interested with them ir the other proposition and they hardly think it probable that such would be , the case.
 Newspapers have habit Of juggling with the Calumet & Arizona namt very freely in connection with a goot many other propositions. If it were known positively that the Calumet & Arizona people were interested finan eially in the Dutch Baker" or any other mining property, people here and in a good many other towns where the Calumet & Arizona story is known would fall all over themselves to gel some of the ctock.-Houghton Ga Zette"
 The above is taken from a northern Michigan publication of recent date The Review published the transfer ot the Dutch Baker group which the above article refers 10 and it was and is authentic.
 The information came from some Of the most vitally interested parties viz, the sellers. They should know 10 whom the property was trans 1erred. The informants of the Mich isan paper are in error. The parfie. 10 whom the transfer was made. were Ii. B. Hovland and T. H. Collins These two gentlemen are heavily inter esteo. One, the superintendent of tbe Calumet & Pittsburg which is as closely allied to the Calumet S Ar, zona as it can be, most of the direct DTS of one being directors in the other The statement in the Review was cor rect and while the group may not baye been bought as an incorporation the re port mat the owners of the Calumet Arizona are interested as iadividu als. is correct.
 ferhaps at this time a little inside history of the formation of the Caluna, Fittsourg would not be out of tbf way; When the Calumet & Arizona was formed the original incorporators Struegied to raise the money for the property and carry on developmen, work. U. D- Autremont Jr., was at ina, time one of the prime movers in tbt incorporation. When the Calumet s fittsDurg was taken hold of the own CTS Of the Calumet & Arizona in duced their friends known in DuIutf as the Iron and Steel men to join ,ban, It IS this party of men who are onerat ing the Calumet & Pittsburg and fl IS tnis party combined with the CaJu met & Arizona who are tying up al desirable property that they can ob tain at reasonable figures. in the War ren district. To the representative, Of this party of men was transferre, the Dutch Baker group. It is a wei known fact in Duluth and nortber, Michigan that Mir. Hovland has renre sented the above companies in pearI, every deal they have taken hold Inf !, late years, and that Mir. Collins aIwsv ngures in with him. It is positive,, known because they have admitta, chat hessrs. C. D. Autre mont an, Thomas Cole. of Duluth. are intereste, in every deal which comes under tb, supervision of the above namedscom panies.
