expected in this property gives room for wide range of possibilities. but the general opinion is that ore should soon be reached. though the first de- posits may not p.ove to be very large.
 If the vicinity of the Great South west s:ope" is to be reached. it is fig ured that a pretty long tunnel will have to be run. as the poirt where that stope reaches the Higgins boundary is said to be upward of 1900 feet. Much greater progress can be made at drift ing than in sinking. but it will doubt less take several months to reach the point above mentioned. Meanwhile. the sinking is to be continued and the winze in the old tunnel will be ex pected to show some interesting for nation.
 Higgins shareholders are easy to find and most of them feel that this property is bound to prove a pretty good thing.

SOME OF THEM.

The Portage Lake & Bfsbee is handling the water in their shaft now with ease and sinking is continued steadily, depth of about 160 feet be- ing now recorded.
 The Wolverine & Arizona has re- ceived its Eew hoist and other equip ment and will have it installed at once
 The Calumet & Cochise is $50 feet deep and going down at a very lively pace. The ground is very promising and this stock is tiptop favorite.
 The Marquette & Arizona is stretch ing away for the 800 foot mark and in the best of formation.
 Nothing new is reported regarding the progress of the New Modern deal
 The Calumet & Pittsburg is still waiting to receive the new sinker pump which is coming from New York by express
 The present conditions at the Mitch ell Development company are causing complaint back in Michigan. It is said that c. F Moore. the former superin. tendent. resigned his position because he was given very little discretion in the management of the operations and concluded to withdraw rather than work under such disadvantage.

PRINCETON COPPER co.

Mir. Henry Hamburg. resident direc tor of the Princeton Copper Mining & Smeltirg Co. operating in Ramsey canyon, Huachuca mountains, eight miles from the fort. is in Bisbee for { few days transacting some business for his company. and says that a new tunnel is soon to be driven on the property at a point 400 feet lower than the first tunnel
 Operated on as early as in 1880 by Ben Williams. this property is said by many who have visited it to bear many of the indications of rich mineraliza- 1 ;ion. Quite a few B;sbee people have purchased stock in the concern after inspecting the property and having assays of the ore made. The principal values 50 far shown are copper and silver, the former running from 40 to 45 per cent, with IS to 76 ounces of sil- yer per ton. Some native copper has been found

STOCKS IN BiSBEE.
- = -. s" OnnI

[ The Bisbee brokers have found the
 market trifle quiet for the past few weeks but report having done satis- factory business in the few stocks that are active. Included in this list are the Calumet & Arizona. Junction. Hig- gins Coch;se and one or two others. Of this number. perhaps the Junction ! is in greatest demand and the pros- poets are that the present price of s16 will soon make way for one much higher
 Few of the listed stocks are either offered or bid for in very large quantities as the present quiet spell is pretty general throughout the coun- gins is gradually becoming firmer as the shaft sinks down and despite the fact that the Calumet & Bisbee has called a payment for September Fist the prevailing opinion is that the C. & B. is one of the best stocks in the district to hold. Some one must make the payment and the fact that it is called for two weeks hence should make no diffeI ence in the intrinsic val ue of the property or of the stock. Af- ter the payment has been made the stock will have new quotation. value but in all probability such as will make it equivalent to that just before the payment or with slight change. In regard to the Junction company the apparent intention of the officials to outfit the big compartment shaft with splendid complement of machinery and the record for sinking which this company has already established go far in securing the permanent conf cence of the public and in establish ing the conviction that the owners be- l'eve they have extensive ore bodies and that they intend to go after them in 8 business like way.
 The floating of the Copper Glance has failed to materially affect that company's stock in an adverse man. ner and the circumstance is not looked npon by the investing public as in the nature of catastrophe for the req. son that this water influx was cer- ta,nly anticipated and that il is to be considered as scod sign rather than 8 bad one.
 The news from Michigan. while not Of booming character is to the ef- feet that after the recent jostling 10 which stocks were subjected they have now settled down to a steady feeling and with many. indications pointing to considerable advance in the near future.

COPPER GLANCE

The flooding of the Glance mine on Friday night by the opening up of big seams in the bottom of the sump by the miners has been quite thoroughly discussed about town since that time.
 In general there is a feeling that il is reeretable that sinking has been stopped for time, but there is no dis position to think that it will be fol- lowed by any long period of inactivity.
 In fact the feeling is that the abund- ance of water may presage the ap- proach of large ore bodies: at any rate the indications are that a radical change in the formation is to be ex. pected very soon. The Glance stock is quite heavily held in several of the large mining centers and the present circumstance will be learned with concern. perhaps, by those not very conversant with the conditions. Much water was expected in the Glance by many students of the district forma. ton and many of these feel there is every reason to expect that if the water is properly handled and sinking continued it will be but a short time until the Glance will turn into a Cop. per mine in the true sense of the word
 Throughout Saturday the pumps nave been kept going steadily and the shaft kept clear of water but for a few days no further attempt will be made to continue sinking. It is hoped that. few days pumping full force will so far reduce the water in the vicinity of the shaft that sinking may be resumed and by that time the off cials will be enabled to decide upon what should be done regarding great CT pump capacity. As has been said elsewhere the plan of resuming work in the two drifts at the 800 foot leve is also under consideration and will doubtless be decided shortly. The fact that the water here is 50 poison ous is taken to indicate that it come. rom mineral deposits near by to the
 present point of activity and it is eas,
 to conceive that the future of th Glance will be far from being void o interesting phases.
 The management of affairs is in tb. best of hands and all may rest assured that everything possible will b, promptly done. to forward the deyel opment work.

THE JUNCTION..

'I believe the Junction. Cochise. Cal umet and P.ttsburg and that bunch of properties will yet show up a perfect lake of ore" is the way in which a mining man sums up the situation.
 But then. similar views are very frequently expressed and are to be ac- cepted only for what they are worth. The Junction is probably the strong est stock in the market at the present time. It $ quoted in Bisbee at SIG. but this of course represents the value of the share at the present time. and 1t must be remembered that there is yet due to the company s11 on each share of this stock. onl ys4 having been so far paid in on a par value of sl5. This practically leaves the stock 10 cost the present purchaser s27 per snare. or an advance. of SIP over the price at the time the company was or. garized-only a few weeks since. by the way
 The four compartment shaft at the Junction is now nearing the 100. foot mark and the miners would be pleased 10 find the rock take a turn and get softe-. .
 The diamond drill men are now hap py. as the casing they have wanted has at last arrived and they are boring through the formation at pretty swift rate.

LAKE SUPERIOR 6 PrrrssURc.

Drifting at HOO feet. it is probable that the L. S. & P. will for several weeks or months to come concentrate its principal efforts to work at this point. It is probable that drifting in various directions simultaneously will be the order of progress, and it should take very few weeks to reach points that promise Q be very interesting.
 Work on the level above is contin- ued and the showing up of splendid indications continues repeatedly.
 In the No. 3 shaft force of men is kept at work constantly and though no new ore pockets show, the men are working in ground that shows up a heavy strata of ledge matter. . The little townsite is now preparing for the advent of a public school, as the report comes in that they now have the necessary number of children resident there and all are anxious for a school.

There has been about 40 feet of work done on the LonGon and GalIen property. nearly all in ore, and in the past considerable ore has been shipped leaving quantity of high grade ere on the dump. The ore in this district is principally in compact ledges and decidedly high grade. Shipments from the Gal,en property averaged 26 per cent copper. 57 ounces silver and sume gold.

CALUMET & BISBEE,

After a good many weeks of antici- patton it now locks as if several of the companies in the Bisbee district were coming near to the good news section of their experiences. and per haps the most prominent of all these just at the present time is the Calumet & Bisbee Very steady sinking wo-k has during the course of few months pushed the property forward to the very front row of the prominent prop ositions in the local field. With for nation which during the past few weeks has steadily grown more and more promising. the c. & B. has dur ing the last two or three days gone into ledge matter of such a character that the posted ones" are said to be holding their breath in anticipation of news that will rejoice the hearts of all who are interested in the Bisbee dis trict. It has been known for some time that the C. & B. was in ground which is shown in but few places here and the steady though gradual way in which these indications have improv- cd and expanded give ample reason for the strongest of confidence.
 ''Struck ore" may be the news any minute now and so far has this fact impressed the very men who are doing the work-including both those in the shaft and the men on top-that it is currently reported that when they came to draw their monthly pay yes terday they requested the clerk to procure shares for them as far as their funds would reach. Of course the company has no shares for sAe but an attempt was made to buy up the required number in the open mar. ket for the best price possible. and it is reported that it was necessary to wire back to Michigan for them. This action on the part of the men is very apt to have a strong effect on the market price of this stock and doubt less a good deal of trading will bt done during the coming week.
 The C. & B officials are disinclined to make any claims or game of talk Keeling that it is time enough for then to speak out when they get ore, bu they feel confident of doing this, ana before very long. at that
 At present the shaft is down 75; feet. and, owing to the soft nature O. the ground. is going down rapidly The announcement that the grount just below this property and surround ing the Don Luis station is to be plat ted into townsite comes probabl. just in the nick of time, for shoult this company strike ore soon it is sur, that these town lots will go like Tho cakes"

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 5.-Captain Perkins, commanding the United States post at Fort Egbert on the Yu- kon. has wired the War Department for authority to send a relief ex- petition to 200 impoverished miners who started in July on 800 mile trip through a trackless wilderness from Nazahina river in the Copper River Valley to Tanara river, thence to Yukon.
 Miners hurried into Nazarine last spring only to find that placer pros poets there were workable only by hydraulic mining on a la-ge scale. Hearing of a new strike on the Ia mana river they started overland car rying but small supplies, supposing that provisions could be purchased at several trading posts en route.
 The miners were rescued from star vation by Henry Bratnober, who is ex- ploring the Alaska mineral zone for the Rothchilds and London Explora- tion company. In a small tent, ex- hausted, unable to move and hardly able to speak. he found P. A. Rettig, whose home is at Delano.

it was quite sore and panied her very

had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adj
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her a bottle of
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.

the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many 9th
