tion of Copper creek with Boulder. This property is on Boulder creek and is gold property. They are now pros pecting to open up the property in good shape. From what l could learn they have very promising property. This gold belt adjoins the copper belt on the north east. YaVapai county has many good mines that are now idle for the want of proper management. The mining promoters are in great measure responsible for many failures in the mines of the county. They get good property in corporated it, sell all the stock they can, guarantee dividends, sell from 5000, 900 to $500, 1000 worth of stock and spend probably S10,0O0 on the mine, and spread in making a display the spread getting the most of the money. There is new type of pro- moter in the market at this time, of a sedimentary formation, a gossan, having gone through the teaching pro- cess and their values have gone out of reach, floating a mine at an expense of about S15. Suckers are not so num- erous in this country as they have been. CONLEE.

Letter From a Veteran.

Soldiers Home, Santa Monica, Sep tember r. Editor Journal Miner s. M. Lowell took a thirty days leave of absence today for Prescott to call on his friends and to look after some business interests there. When MT. Lowell entered the soldiers home here he immediately joined the knights of rest, composed of old gray back smashers, who smashed the said he soon saw that monotonous, do nothing, was the program of the said knights and he at once deserted them, engaged himself to drive the hosto- mobile known in the home as an ambulance. Comrade Lowell at once joined the chaplain and the father in the funeral business and drcve about three dozen old lifeless veterans out to the camp on the hill where they joined the old patriots gone before. He had two double funerals in one day, laying four old men down to rest until the last roll call. He also had one double funeral each day for two days, laying four more down to rest in two days. All this new life experience was utilized by Comrade Lowell and he has gained many friends here by his genial dis position and the kindness shown to those in distress. He made three trips to Los Angeles, bringing in one corpse and one sick comrade at each trip. Comrade Lowell was al ways ready at a moments warning and made his work a success. He has made many friends in the home and the old comrades of ward Co. K, wish him safe happy journey and a real good time at his home, suc- cess in his business and an early re- turn to i'll his place and to eat soup with us and to enjoy the courtesy of our Uncle Sam-the good Samaritan who cares for the played out veterans and pays their hotel bills. Should the friends of Comrade Lowell need any assistance at funerals call on him. He is capable of assisting on such occasions and always ready and willing to lend his aid. He is a gen ial rustler. Success to him.

WouId Eat It Anyhow.

Washington POst.
 Representtive Cushman of Washing ton State, told a new story in the Re- publican cloakrooms a few days ago. He stated that a number of years ago the lawyers of that State at one of the meetings of the State Bar Association gave a banquet to all the lawyers pres ent.
 "One of the old timers" said Mir Cushman, 'was on hand from the wilds of Wahkiagum. He had practiced law in the territory when Grant was in the White House. The old fellow wore a long-tailed. claw-hammer coat, with brass buttons and other prehistoric raj ment.
 When he took his seat at the table there was before him in the center of the table a large silver pudding dish filled with custard, upon snow white frosting The old gentleman. not re- cognizing the conventionalities of the occasion. went for 1t like a Dolly Var den trout for a salmon egg. He reach ed over the table and pulled the dish gently toward him. dipped the silver ladle deep into the delicious compound, and sucked the ladle dry with one dis tinctly audible smack. Just as he dipped the ladle in a second time one of the colored walters spied him, and. hurrying up to the old man, whispered in his ear:
 " Don't eat dat, mistah. Oats de dessert.'
 ''The aged lawyer looked up In inno- cent amazement with the ladle poised in the air and said:
 Dessert, eh. HI, I'm not afraid of 1t. I'd eat 1t If 1t was a wilder ness"

WALL STREET REVIEW
REACTION IN PRICES or sTOuKs IS
 CONTINUED.
The Determined Liquidation in United States Steel Had Great Effect on sentiment.-Recovcry Towards
 the lClose.

NEW YORK, Oct eo-The reaction in stocksgwent further today. but the market gave proof of the hardship Of powerful sup porters and the weakness was at no time acute. Vigorous supporting measures were adopted at the opening against the early flood of profit taking which was brought prices. The reaction wasT then seemingly i allowed to take its course for . time and when the selling had exhausted part of its force another movement towards recovery was developed. News bearing on values played little part in the movement. The determined liquidation in United States Steel stocks had as much effect on sentiment as anything else and this occurred in spite of the news of excited buying of pig iron for forward delivery and of very large orders for new freight cars by the railroads in ex-
 Yesterdays report of the Republic Iron 6 Steel Company disclosing the extent of the slump in the trade last year came in for some consideration and the neY interests attention to the possibility of new opbosi- ton to the corporation There were also rumors of intended closing down of furnaces by the corporation. The complacency with ed was due to the supposltion that the great financial forces which have made the mar ket favored reaction in order to shake off weak followers and give opportunity for themselves to secure stocks at c lower lev el which had been sold at a profit In accordance with this idea was the asser- ttoh WHiSH hounu CffCulattOn 0t v6rfOu9 times during the day that the buying on the decline was of the best character. As the art of concealment of acts Is one of the most prized in stock market operations, 1t follows that the floating information on this subject Is peculiarly liable to error The conviction. however. that powerful financial interests were taking stocks on the decline and that waiting demand existed at lower prices did have strong influence In dis suading holders from parting with their stocks and in sustaining the tone of the market. The special movements of the day were in the local transactions. including In- terborough Rapid Transit on the curb and Including Ontario 6 Western. Amaigamated Copper weakened in the anticipation of only the regular dividend being declared and rai- lied on the actual declaration. St. Paul and Atchison offered relatively good resis- tance to depression and Chicago Great West ern made a show of strength. The furious buying of Ontario & Western at the last held the market firm at the rally to the closing. The days net changes In conse- Quence are very small and show mixed gains and losses.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value s4,ssooo0. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
REPORTS FROM INTERIOR HAVE IN.
 ELUENCE.
xn Addition, the Weather News Is Less Un- favorable than had Been Expected. Trading Comparatively Quiet,
 Sales Being 2SO,Oo0.

NEW YORK. Oct so.-The cotton market wus easier. partly as result of less un- favorable weather than expected but main ly as a result of private reports of weaker interior spot markets Trading was little more active than on the previous day but was comparatively quiet, sales for the day being estimated at only about 25o.0 900 bales
 .The market opened steady in tone at an advance of l point to a decline of 1 point At first prices showed little tendency. The cables were about expected on the New York close of the previous day and while the weather .South was not unfavnrable on the whole, there was frost at Ne or two points in Texas and the tropical storm was stiil threatening the South Atlantic coast. But gradually the bears seemed to grow bolder and prices were gradually worked away. There was a scattering de- mand from smaller longs and perhaps . little buying on a scale down for long ac- count. but no effort was made to rally the market and in the afternoon when private wires were received claiming that interior Texas points were offering cotton in New Orleans below official quotations the mar ket turned weak and left off at within a point or two of the bottom at a net de- cline of s@1s points. The closing was barely steady.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20.-The cotton market is beginning to feel It's own weight
 stocks are getting to be a burden to hold CTS and while there has been no pressure to sell spots as yet, tho way the stuff is ac- cumulattng at primary points and at the ports would indicate that something in the way of liquidation will soon take place, especially if the market continues to de- cline. which is it's present tendency. Cold CT weather in the belt. with frost at Anna riIlo and Abeline, Texas, influenced a steady opening, December S.75. against 9.7S last night, which. however. was highest of the day. In the early hours there was very little doing in spots and the market was said to bo 4 0hc down, but official quota fions show prices to have been only Mc lower. market closing steady on sales of t,1o0 and 1.so0 bales to arrive Mtddling. December had sold off to .s2, and as the demand for actual cotton was little better than expected. and the reduction in values smaller than looked for, futures reacted some when near the close. December clos
 Receipts at all ports for the day were 62,9ez bales, against 4b,2so last year; since Friday 32s.s5S. compared with 257.s2O Ex- ports thus far this week have been 1Ta- 5s2 bales. compared with 1s5.6s7 one year ago. Since last Friday stocks at all ports have increased l56,Iee bales. same time last year 72.123. and are now 6SS,510 bales, same time one year ago 495,2s1, ot which excess over last year New Orleans ts cred tied with I03.34S, holding 206.03t bales. last rear 102,6b5. In the meantime stocks at the interior towns are billing up, and 1t is probable that the 30 points reporting will show increase for the week of about 100 900. which will compare with an increase of about 55,0o0 last week and 5S,000 this week of last year. These large receipts and increasing stocks point to a weeks insight of about 560.00 against 444.000 correspond ing week one year ago. 46o,000 year before and bs4, 900 in 1901. It is possible, there fore. for worlds visible supply statement of tomorrow to show a larger increase in stock than for the same week last year, which would add to the already very large excess Of 5S2.0 900 American when compared with one year ago.
