 F. ]. Graf, the mining broker in Bis.

 matters and consulting with Manager
 Hopkins of the Haden-Ro6ee company regarding business relations which 1 siderable time says the Peninsular l Record. of Ishpeming. MT Graf is an exclusive dealer in mining stocks.
 He had good wor6s to say for good
 many of the properties in that lccal- ] ity and for that section in general.
 "Bisbee is getting to be very or derly. thrifty mining camp" he said,
 land possesses features which rem der it especially attractive. With the
 building up of many of the properties which are at the present time in the process of development and the set tling down of the section to a staple basis with a number of producers. Bisbee will be found to have become one of the thoroughly good. reliable places of that part of the country It has not a very large number of idle men in its streets. A good many came in there from Coiora6o. but when they saw the conditions they soon left the country and so there is not a surplus of idleness about the streets of the city. The sporting el- ement is submerged and the law and order people prevail The place is frnff fi-,o If he +on fso1 h-rsrd ings and is growing in a manner that would indicate permanency."
 MT. Graf receives quotations from the Hadden-Rodee company's Ish- peming office every day. He declares hat there Is getting to be lively in- terest in stocks in Bisbee at the pres ent time. but until very recently peo- ule paid very little attention to the matter of stocks. It was claims or other kin6s of speculation which they seemed to be after and the stock spec ',lation had little enticement for them But he says they are beginning to see some of the good things which are to be had on the stock boards and want some of them
 When Manager Hopkins showed Mir. Graf the immense volume of the curb business the Ishpeming ofice of the Ha6den-Rodee company is doing. he declared that this part of the coun try was unquestionably the market place for the Arizona stocks, and that the people up here had faith in them But be declared that there were lots of good things in which they might very well have faith.

 '"The weather they are having in the northern country" said MT. Graf, "is of an order too extreme to talk aboG; to southwestern natives who have ney- CT experienced winters in the Lake Superior region.
 Mich. iron and Copper industry.
 Outside of the climate the north ern Michigan country attracted me greatly. The scale on which the mines and nilis are worked in hat section is certainly magnificent.
