DRIFT HAS MADE 1s2 FEET IN 22 DAYS SINCE RE-
 SUMPTION.
Of Work at the Property-Totai Length Expected to Be Required to Reach the Ore Body Win Be 1,t1e Feet.

Since the extenaon of the tme or the Higgins was granted last month. work on the new tunnel has been rap idly pushed. In the twenty-two days s5nce the work has strted the drift has been sent 1s2 feet, an average of about nire feet per day.
 The length of the tunnel now being driven will be I119 feet under the present plans and is being done by contract Scott Turner has thir teen men all told on the work. Al the present rate of progress the new drift will be completed by April 1st, the date upon which the extension eX. pires. if no breakdown occurs. It is believed that should anything occur to impede the work that a further ex tension would be granted. Nothing marvellous is expected to develop till thepresent work hears completion though present indications give much encouragement.

THE COPPER SHARE MARKET.

The reaction in the Boston coppers which started Monday seemed to reach bottom on Wednesday, and cios- ingpTices that day were decidedly tronger. The increased dividend de- cIared by the Greene Consolidated helped the situation. and the persist ent strength of such stocks as Isle Royals, Copper Range, Bingham, Mo hawk. Mass and Aflouez inspired con fidence in other stocks that were cal ly a. the time "a weaker positions. Floor and room traGcrs were. as a rule, out of the coppers and wanted to see a reaction, and they were greatly surprised at the exceedingly small selling pressure on the decline ss well as by the presence of good buyirg orders
 There are two very strong factors sn the present market. One is the ex- cellent position of the metal, and the other the fact that there are almost no coppers to be liquidated. When this movement started brokerage strong boxes were as a rule very near ly bare of copper securities. and there has been a comparatively small in- crease in the commission holdings 10

 Duluth, Calumet and Ttitsb-yg group of mines is hard to estimate upon any basis of cslcI at!on a.at does not appear rOsei'e. There sge now seven shafts, two of 1250 feet

Every one of these seven, and the dghth as well, is sH-e to make large mines and to be able to produce ore in quantities. The Irish Mag, the only shaft now producing. ss hoisting six hundred tons day and is making 2,65O0O0 pounds copper monthly. It is not sanguine to ex- pect a production from the group. in the course of, say, three years, of t6,- 000,000 pounds a month, nor is 1t 1co much to figure that Bisbee VII at that time be making, in all, 1s,000,DS0 pounds. This will tval Butte, and is equal to the whole Lake Superior re- zion a few months ago. If there is no more change in the general Arezc- na situation than is now known 70 be pending entirely in oistrcts that are now producng copper largely the ter rirory should by that time be making not less than 25,00o.0o0 pounds a trade conditions neiag favorable.

THE METAL MARKET

Lake copper is now 15 to I5 II cents and electrolytic Is 14 7-S to Is cents per pound. The market contin- ues active. and sellers are dictating prices. Many of the leading prcIuc- CTS are sold up several months in ad- vance. gnd aie unable 10 make far ther constructs. The few who have any copper are asking from Is 1-4 to 15 3-S cents. and showing no anxiety 10 force business. Exports continue heavy, but are hardly up to the aver age of last month. About 14,000 10 IS, 900 tons.
 An authority in the trade is quoted by the American Metal MaIket as estimating that with exports aveSag ming 15.00e tons monthly ths home consumption will take care Of present production. In view of the fact thas exports so far this year have averag- ed more than 20,000 tons monthly and that supplies are everywhere low, st would seem that prices must continue strcng for a long time to come. IL Is not at all improbable that there may be a slight reaction in quotations in December, but after the first of the year copper may sell as High as l6 cents per pouud.-Boston Commercial

Editor Newett of Iron Ore, who lives among the officers of the c. & A, has the following in reply to an anx- dous shareholder:
 Editor Iron Ore:-If l read correct ly in last weeks issue of Iron Ore judge c. 6 A. is not to increase f1s dividend in 1905. Am light in this. I have been looking for an increase next year. Is there anything the ma;- Ter with the mine?
 SHAREHOLDER Ann Arbor, Mich. Nov p.
 Calumet & AHzona is bigger and better today than at any past time since it was discovered. It is opea- ing new ore bodiess and besides .s carrying on a great work underground and upon surface, As we stated in our last issue, there has been Dracti- cally nothing done as yet in prepsr- ing the Oliver shaft ground for ac,- i've n.ning The shaft has been sunk and drift has been run ccn- meeting with the Irish Mag shaft. The task of blocking out the ground has now only fairly begun. There has to he a system to this under ground operation. These Lake Su- perfor people do not burrow and gopher about as do some other peo- pie. but lay out work on a plan thal will be valuable in the days to come. They will open several levels, get the ground in the right shape for stoping LIELUSHRD .. S 0 ' 9scee nwayb and in systematic workmenlike way, secure g ton of material at the lowest possible cost Much has been done in. the opening of a big mine, and (. & A. is adding new one at its Of.- yer shaft. It takes time and money ! to accomplish all that is desired. There will have to be money experd- 1 ed in the adding of new smelters And healthy surplus is also wantec i It has been growing at very sat;.- 1 factory pace. It must be remembered 1 that Calumet & Arizona has been making copper only two years. No other copper mine can duplicate it's record. It is good enough. If t pays it's shareholders s6.50 next year it will be doing splendidly, for in a1- dition it will be carrying on a great task in development and equipment. It is not similar to. the case of the mines that are already developed. It will need a dozen years to thoroughly test the lands of the property in the Bisbee basin It isn't fair to fig1:e the value of the property on the pres ent dividend paying plan because it is new mine with great possibilities aside from those already shown in the earnings. We to not speak officially On the matter Of dividends, but from Q knowledge of the new work under way and the future needs in the way of equipment to meet the growing ore | territory Should copper reach IS l cents the company would be able 10 do better than $650, but unless there should be some such gain We would | hardly expect an increase. That's the way it looks to us We believe that shareholders will be well pleased f this rate be maintained when they understand how earnings are being applied to the development of the mine.

 will be followed out after ore bodies. The results are liable to be of the utmost importance.
 The fact that the Calumet & Pitts burg pumps are draining the June tion shaft. 5000 feet northeast, and probably also the Lowell shaft 5000 feet northwest, is interesting in its bearing on the probabilities of the ground. Ore in Bisbee is formed ground, and with such an area of along fault planes and in shattered drainage there must be a shattered condition for very considerable dis taDces about the Calumet & Pittsburg. This property is now pumping 2500 gallons a minute from a depth of 1900 feet, and is apparently drain 'ng the ground as it proceeds, for all water is coming in from the bottom of the shaft. The effect at the June tion shaft is five inches a day. When T. F. Cole was requested by the other directors 10 buy pumps for this shaft they thought 1500 gallons a minute would be sufficient capacity, but MT. Cole thought otherwise and ordered double that capacity, in such units that any one of them would be able 10 care for the regular flow. as it might finally be found to be. This shaft IS sinking at the rate of one foot daily and Ttll be at the 1lO0-foot level, in about three months in all probabil ity. when a station will be cut and drifting to ore bodies will be unoer- taken. The shaft is of such size and 50 equipped that ore when found can be quickly and economically handled.
 At the Lcke Superior & Nttsburg the Cole shaft is now being enlarged from small two, 10 a large four compartment, and crews are working on five levels. So soon as stations are cut a crew will be cutting the shaft out at each 100-foot level This work is n hard lime and will be slow, taking probably six months or more When completed. and when the shaft Is equipped, the mine can begin pro- duction on any scale desired. Dsvel- opment work underground must now all be to the south shaft and the tram Is so long and the access so difficult that it is not probable that much work can be carried forward while the Cole shaft is blocked
 The Pittsburg X Duluth is cutting a large body of ore on the SunnysideI claim st :he depth Of 1900 feet from the surface. which Is far deeper than any other mine in the district has gone, and is an index of the per sistence of these copper lenses. There Is no sign of pyritic ore in this work indicating a considerable further depth, and there Is every earmark of con- siderable area of ore above where it has been cut. If t proves. as fs be- keved by some of the best mining en- gfneers, that porphyry intrusion on the west side. the great hill on this property had as much to do with min cralization as that Of Sacramento Hiil on the east. the possibilities of Pitts i burg & Duluth ground are hard to ap- ' preciate, and the mine will be one of the greatest in tho region. Of course any such basis for fracture and the distribution of mineral bearing sofur tons would shatter the geological sur vey's figure of saucrshaped basin for the Bisoee ores, but this figure is

MANCHURIA AND ITS ChARAC-
TERISTICS,

Though claiming a marked superior
ty on the land. the Russian authorities
have been forced to admit that the Jap
anese troops have secured a foothold
in Manchuria and that some severe
fighting will undoubtedly take place be
fore the mikado's troops are dislodged
from the positions which they have al
ready gained.
No land fighting of any consequence
has as yet occurred, but because of an
precedented activity among the d.
visions of the Japanese army already
landed on Asiatic soil, the Russians
have been led to believe that the op.
posing land fighting force will prob
ably show as great efficiency as did the
Japanese ships in front of Port Arthur
The Yalu river on the northern and
western Corean borders has been men
toned frequently in the dispatches. and
ii has been stated that on either its
eastern or western banks will the Rus

boundary line between ManchuTia and
Corea, and if. as the Russians admit,
the Japanese are established in Man,
churia, then the latter must have pass
ed the Yalu in considerable numbers
Ii is known that small bodies of Jap

Civil and military agents of The car
have been po'-~ing down into this
country and from time to time have
violated all of the sacred principles OF
the people. The Russians have built
their shops and stores indiscriminately
in the different cities, especially in the
capital Moukden, and by their over
bearing manners have made them
selves very unpopular.
The armies of both nations have
thorough knowledge of the Manchurian

tage in this respect it lies with the Jap.

here between the opposing armies OF
China and Japan in their late war and
