sosToN WOOL PRICES HOLDING

STOCKS WELL WORKED OFF
Buyers Beginning to Leave for West
ern Markets-New Arizona Clip
Proving Defective.

The wool market is firm and steady.
Prices do not bulge in either direc-
ton, says the Boston Commercial Bull
letin. Dealers are thankful that they
are able to dispose of their holdings
without making more than the GUS
tomary fractional concessions. 1t is
admitted that manufacturers are not
hungry for wool, yet there is a demand
from one source or another that leads
up to a steady trade. The business
in fine fieeces has shown a liberal *
pansion this week and territory wool,
in the grease and secured, has sold
in very good volume, some houses
selling very little, and others several
hundred thousand pounds. There is
a willingness to sell at current prices
and some effort is being made to clean
up stocks as closely as possible before
the new season is inaugurated.
Stocks Are Small.
Thanks to the good, steady business.
at times reaching big proportions,
throughout the year, local stocks are
comparatively small. There are many
weeks ahead before the new clip is
available in any quantity, and holders
bulk of the desirable wool on the mar
ket will be wanted. Everything in
domestic one-quarter blood and below
is actually scarce, not only here but
at the country markets. The demand
is as acute as ever. To satisfy it
foreign competing woods are being
bought freely. The London American
purchases of crossbreds have been
the heaviest at any n sale for years.
OF the 10000 or more bales bought
for this country the bulk were cross
breds.
In a way this is a bearish feature
for it demonstrates that the domestic
shortage can be made good. At the
same time as long as foreign markets
hold firm there is no reason for a de
cline here. The advance of 5 to Il
per cent abroad, however, has no!
been followed by a corresponding i'm,
provement in the price of domestic
one-quarter blood The top of tbs
market is still 26c.
Buyers Coming West.
There is nothing of special import
ance from the west. Boston buyers
zre-leauing every day, and in a few
weeks there will be some interesting
developments. No better than last
years prices is the stand taken by
some merchants. Not as much is the
opinion of others. To buy the clil

Territory wool is steady. There
is a good deal of business of the clean
ing up order, and it is said that this
is being done without any very serious
sacrifice on the part of sellers. There
is a good demand for fine staple, and
it is scarce. It would easily sell on
the secured basis of 55c. A sale dur
ing the week of $4,000 pounds medium
staple was made at 1870 in the
grease. The secured cost was SOC.
Medium wool, either clothing or
staple, is wanted and not easy TO
find in any quantity. There have
been sales during the week of ordi-
nary three-eighths on the secured
basis of As to ACC, and of one-quarter
blood at 43 to 44c.
Fine clothing is in better request,
and sells steadily at IA to 16c for Utah,
Nevada and similar woods, the scour
ed cost running from so to SIC. Fine
medium also is being cleaned up, and
the supply is gradually but surely
diminishing. In one instance at least
the secured basis of SOC was paid
this week. The bulk of the wool, how
ever, is being let out at around 48c,
clean.

Where the new tunnel extension began the present company sunk two winzes, 125 feet deep and 125 feet apart, connected them, and are running a drift to the north from the first one reached going into the tunnel. All that work is in

 of the same character and quality as that found in extending the tunnel. and in the "backs" now being stopped out above the former workings. At the second of these winzes station for hoisting en- zine has been cut out, and the winze will be converted into an underground shaft and sunk sev- elal hundred feet, when the neces- sarv machinery has been installed.
 The ledge, as shown by the old workings, varies from six to twenty feet in width, between

 cut as smoothly and evenly as though hewn out by stonecutter for building purposes. It runs north and south with a pitch of about eighty-fve degrees to the west. The ores yielded are soft porphyritic rock, very friable and easily crushed, carrying free gold, running in value from ten dollars per ton upward to twenty-five dol lars. In places there occur rich sulphides, which run away up into three figures to express the valua- tion in dollars. Upon one place in the old workings upon the foot wall, there is large block, about two feet thick, of the sulphides, which sampled $103-$125-$l40 40 per ton. But the entire ore body will all mill well and pay to work.
 Just taking the

 by the two winzes sunk in the tun- mel and allowing that 1t IS only five feet in width the entire dis tance of the 175 feet of drifting at the bottom of those two winzes (and five feet are the narrowest of any parts of the ledge) there are 109,375 cubic feet of ore there blocked out. Ore in the ledge Is calculated at thirteen cubic feet to the ton. Then just in that work ing there are.in sight S4O3, tons Of ore. None of this ore mills less than $1O per ton. Consequently that proved ore body in that small working has q value of $S4, l50, American money, at the least cal culation. Mir. Charters finds that the cost of mining and milling the ore is trifie more than three dol lars per ton. Then the
 NET VALUE
 of the ore in sight is very near S6O,OO0, at the most conservative computation. The average of the ledge being wider, and the average run of the ore being greater than 1 have computed, will probably carry the value much higher than this rude estimate.

 ORE BODY,
 Now all these calculations have been made upon the most conser- vative basis. Colonel J. c. Dickey, who exported the mine, has pre- sented report in which he esti- mates that there are in sight 5O,OO0 tons of ore which will net $20 gold per ton, fully one million dollars, without taking into consideration all the rest of the ore in sight which will mill less than that. The ore body is nowhere less than five feet in width, and in places it exceeds twenty feet. It will pro = bably average twelve feet. That would more than double the ton mage in sight. Then it will all mill more than ten dollars per ton. The ores are known to have done that for the old San Ricardo Com pany. And they failed to catch all the gold. Thir tailings were sold to the Mexican Gold x Silver Recovery Company, which

 "ANrHUo" WORKINGS
 upon the North Extension of the San Ricardo" "Rubright," the lat ter known as the " St.George ledge") and other properties, show strong and well defined lodges, all carrying high grade gold ores of the same general character, and values as coming out from the San Ricardo. When attention is turned to their development. which will be done as soon as possible, they will doubtless prove very rich and yalu- able. They have all the making of great and permanent mines. Extensive though 1t was the work done by the oatiguos was hardly more than surface showing. With deep working they will prove greater, and richer than the ditti- guos ever dreamed of.
 The company has also fine body of coco acres of land in the vicinity, upon which there is a good growth of oak wood; and while the mine itself supplies a goodly quantity of water, the San Miguel River is within easy pump ing distance, assuring at small cost an abundace of
