MITCHELL LET GO
 ALL HOLDINGS
COMPANY IS NOW FINALLY DOWN AND OUT IN THE HUA-
 CHUCAS.
Original Ground Owners Are All at Work Doing Necessary Assessments. Are Not Discouraged Over Mitchell Fiasco-Prospect for Business.

The Mitchell Development company Is down and out so far as its recent holdings in Montezuma canyon in the
 Huachucas are concerned. The orig inal owners are in possession of i'm provements and development made by
 he company in the course of its CT.
 ratio career.
 Each of the original owners com
 menced assessment work on their re- leased ground last week, and each one of the number starts in to see the job
 10 a finish in strict accordance with the terms Of the law. They have no lessfaith in their ground than at any t.me, and propose holding it.
 The chance that the company had retained any portion of the ground it held was dissipa;ed last week by the authoritative information that all the ground owners had received notices similar to those sent to this city. an nouncing that the company would not do the annual assessment work, which constituted practical release of the ground, inasmuch as it devolved upon the ground owners upon receipt of the announcement to either do the assess ment or let their ground go by default. The release of the entire holdings of he Mitchell is. of course. much more satisfactory to the ground owners than would have been the release of only a portion. inasmuch as the release of it all gives them benefit of the work done by the company with drill and shaft. As to what will De done with the ground after the completion Of the assessment work. nothing definite has as yet been formulated. It is expect ec, however, that early in the new year negotiations that are pending will be brought 10 a close. with the result that active development by a strong crowd will resume.

THE STOCK MARKET.

! The market the past week has been
 influenced by the 'Frenzied Finance ads throughout the country. Liquida. ton has been severe. weekly margin 1 ed accounts closed out. and the large financial interests have been obliged to place aggressive supporting orders to prevent what might have been a panic A continuance of the present sensational advertisements through the press is likely to be resumed. but their influence upon prices will grow less and less as their power market.
 wise has ben dicounted to a consider. able extent. It is the unexpected
 which develops in the situation that causes violent price changes.
 A strong bear pool s operating in New York with Henry Well at its head They are endeavorirg to bring about a lower range of price before the new year. They may be success. tui n degree. but the underlying cor- diuons ale such that if purchases are made on the recessions substantial profits should be shown the coming year.
 The announcement of the Atchison bond issue caused considerable sell. ing Of this stock for both accounts. but it is a good thing fer the read and VIII place the company in much stronger financial position. It is sel. Ing much lower in co-,3lnison with other stocks of it's class and We would suggest purchases being made on the present weakness.
 Bal'immore & Ohio and Reading continue jo display marked strerefb Tn lace of the weakness in the general market. The reason can be ascribed 10 Cividend prospects. We consider them both good stocks to buy. The snort interest in Reading is still large and will be ultimately forced to cover at much higher level Should an uniaYorable decision be handed down in ths Nothe-n Securities case tbe coming week, and Union Pacific and ol. Paul sell off sharply it will give you an excellent opportunity to nick Tn some cheap stock. They should be bought without fail on any bad news
 MT James R Keene has charge of the manipulation Of several stocks in the industrial quarter of the list. He mas been aggressively operating on the bull side of the Leather stocks and We suggest their purchase for a much higher level. Continue to bull Amer. ican Malt preferred and Pacific Mail preferred and Pacific Mail and would acquire line of the Boston CopDers around their present level
 Good judges look for a 3 to 31-4 Der cent time money market and 2 per cent call money in January. and this or itself will, barring accident. be an impelling incentive to both speculative and investment buyers.

GOOD NEWS FROM
 GOLD NUGGET SECTION
CRIMSON MINING co. GETS BIG RESULTS FROM A MILL
 TEST.
Gre Yielded S47 to Ton-It Comes From Gold Nugget Exeension-Prop- erty to Have Mill-Developnlen Re. sumed at Gold Nugget.

Good news came in this week from the Fort Bowie Gold Nugget and Gray son Mining Company properties. The latter is a Texas corporation which re- gently took over an extension of the Gold Nugget claims. Development work carried on since has been very encouraging.
 This weekIa mill test was made of two tons of ore from the ledge that has been opened On the Grayson ground. It was founC to be free mill. ing. and yielded s45.75 to the ton. The bar resultant was sent at once to the headquarters of the company in Texas, and assurance has since been received that the results of the test were entire ly satisfactory. As a consequence the company sends word that it has plac- ed an orCer for a ten-stamp mill which will be forwarded to the property just as soon as possible.
 At the Gold Nugget the mill is near ly up. and will be ready for its initial run within two more weeks. Ten men have been returned to the mine to pur- sue the development and the removal of ore for addition to the two years supply for the. mill at its starting ca pacity tha; is now on the Cump. Conf dence runs high at the camp. and there is every expectation on the part of those in charge that il will be but a little while before the Gold Nuggez enters the profit-making class.

 The reserves of ore in sight in the property are at the present time great CT than at any previous period in the history of the camp. and the new ore body discovered during the year. known as the Massey" has increased enormously the value of the property and promises to be one of the great. est ore deposits ever opened up in the republic of Mexico.
 The district of Cananea. although it has been developing with such ex- traordinary rapidity during the past three years, is rapidly approaching the state of affairs which characterize the great copper camps of Bisbee. Cliff ton and other camps of Arizona. Its conservative management. it's large ore reserves, and the economies which are being steadily and effectively in troduced. are placing the camp in the foremost rank among the great copper districts of the world.
 The standards of living have been raised considerably during the last twelve months, as evidenced by the ample accommodations. churches free reading rooms and social clubs. he wafer supply has been improved and the health of the community shows a marked advancement and reflects the gFeateSt credit upon the organizers and managers of this enterprise.

ALMOST A RIOT
ON WATERFRONT

For a time yesterday afternoon 1t
was feared there was going to be
serious trouble at the Flyer dock,
and had it not been for the inter-
ventlon of the police officers the
Flyer would have been greatly de-
layed in leaving the dock on her reg
ular 1850 trip.
Early in the afternoon people be-
gan gathering at the dock, intending
to go to Seattle. When the Flyer
arrived fully $500 people were on
hand to get on board. The captain
seeing the crowd, announced that
he was allowed to carry only 500
people, and was persistent in seeing
That no more than that number
passed onto the boat.
The people began crowding and
tanning until the police were called
and quieted the crowd. A close count
of every one passing down the gang
plank was made, and when the al.
lotted number, 500, was reached nc
more were allowed to go on board.
Fully thousand people were sore
ly disappointed Many of them pat.
ronized the Interurban electric line
later in the day.

their names from the bandstand. He
also informed anxious parents that
all children picked up by the police
would be safely kept until called for
by their parents.
Fierce criticisms of the fireworks
committee we're heard on every side
after the explosion took place. The
fact that they had been culpably
careless was plainly evident to the
thousands In the park who had wit
messed the catastrophe.
The most ordinary precautions,
which would seeming have suggest
ed themselves to the veriest tyros,
were omitted. Had the fireworks
committee even taken the trouble TO
provide a large canvas tent, wetted
down with water, and then placed
their stock of explosives inside, there
would nave been no possible chance
for sparks to do damage. Had the
committee merely increased the area
of the firing plot with the extra rope
lying unused on the ground, most of
the danger could have been averted.
The Fourth of July fireworks COM
mittee consisted of County Auditor
j. III. Davis, chairman Ben Haver-
kamp and Lincoln Davis.
The electrical fountain in Wright
park, constructed by Robert w.
Taynton, was greatly admired by the
Fourth of July crowds who saw 1t
playing last night.

Fire Breaks Out.
The explosion set fire to a number
of broken wooden packing boxes I'M
der the locust trees, and brisk con-
flagration was soon in progress. A
call for the fire department brought
company of fire-fighters to the
scene and a stream of water soon
put out the flames.
When the fireworks first began ex-
ploding on the ground the crowd
surged backwards through the trees
and down the hill, but when the
bombardment partly ceased many
pushed back towards the firing plot
eager to see what had taken place
Just then second batch of explo-
sions occurred, sending the crowd
away on a second scramble for safe
ty.
The fireworks which exploded cost
something over $500 and contained
, enough powder to have blown up O

After the excitement had partly
subsidized the people began to gather
