THE TRANsVAAL MINE.

The Transvaal mine is getting bet ter all the time and is one of the great est properties in many ways in its im- mediate section. O. l.. Neer, who has been east for some time past. passed through Douglas yesterday afternoon for the property. He states that the property is making as excellent pro gress as ever and all the machinery which has ben put into the property is working as excellently as possible.
 The big property is now turning out copper and will increase the output fast It seems there is no other prop erty south of the Transvaal which AIr. Neer got hold of that is proving to be worth anything. The St. Johns property, recently sold by II. E. Dugan to Patsy Clark. may prove Of valde All the ether property which mining men have spent time and money to in- vestiga.e sn that section has proven worthless.

DEMAND STRONG
 FOR BONANZA
 CIRCLE STOCKS
CALUMET & ARIZONA REACHES S1o4 PRICE YESTER-
 DAY.
Lake Superior & Pit:s6urg Holds Firm. and Nothing Offered Under s46.oo. Junction Remains Kirg of Stocks.

The demand for Bonanza Circle stock was heavy. In the early part of the day the market had been quite firm Calumet & Arizona opened at S101 and steadily advanced to s104 bid, some being offered al $1O5. Calu- met and Pittsburg closed at $40 90 bid. Lake Superior and Pittsburg holds firm. and nothing offered under S46.
 Pdtsburg & Duluth should become favorite stock with the investors or spectators. If you will recall c. X r. at S25 for half paid stock soon ad- vanced 10 S45 on a market that had been miserable. P & D. has just as much right 10 reach S45 as c. & P. for several reasons. P. X D. first, has ore bodies from which ore has been extracted. and without doubt passed through the furnace. This years mar ket .s a good one. and money is easy. These two reasons alone should make this stock reach S45 before the final call is paid
 Junction. dear old Junction. is the kng of all the Bonanza properties. There was a time when you Cou du , -lNt ILLS HNeIA F @ W eih I.tl l-tN " -7t DAs - were buying mp all.this ,ime this cheap Junction. and have still got it. 1, was worth SS th5n-nOw y0u cant get i- for SS7-pretty good profit There is no doubt among the public that Junction is by far the best property in the War ren district in the stage of develop ment This stock is cheap at $100 al any time l; s remarkable how our local traders hold OF to it. and by doing so are showing wise judgment. Stay with your Junction for your own good. It's nothing to me if you hold it-but it is if you sell. Don't sell it. but keep it.

GET COKE AT PITTsguRc.

Shortage of fuel in the Arizona smeiJer district has forced the mining companies of that section to go to Pittsburg for fuel. A few days ago a train Oi thirty cars was started for Douglas. Arizona. where the smelting plants of the Calume. & Arizona and Copper Queen Consolidated compaa- ies are located nearly 2.O00 miles from the Pitts5u-g district. The coke will cost practically six dollars per ton de- iiverst. The shipment was made by the P.ckands-2lather Coke company from the Geneva works and will go through in a solid train. T. is the ionses. shipment ever made of Con n5lsville coke.
 The PIckands-NaJher concern which shipped the fuel 10 the smelters of the Bisbee mines is controlled by prac- Gcally the same people tha- are in the coal firms of Pickands. Mather & Go. and James Pickands & Co.,. jhe former Of the Cleveland and the latter located al Marquette. The principal interests in these firms recently visit ed Calumet and other parts of the copper country. as noted in the Journ- al at the time Pickands. Mather & Co. control a large dock on Portage Lake, besides the one at Marquette, and are heavily interested in Lake Superior iron pzbperties.-Marquette Journal.

ADVANCE EARLY IN THE
 NEW YEAR
IS THE PREDICTION OF GEO. WALKER IN HIS COPPER.
 LETTER.
For Beth Metal and stocks-Dull De- cember is General RuIe-copper Acted Especially We'll in the Teeth Of Crisis.


 In his weekly copper letter. George l.. Walker says:
 The recent bad break in security prices is temporarily disturbing busi- ness confidence. and consumers are, as far as possible. avoiding the pur- chase of new supplies. It is reported that one consumer, who had accumu-
 aIed Q small surplus, had offered ii for sale, fearing break in prices. Such teaTs are groundless. however, and no material change in quotations should be looked for until after the beginning of the new year. December is always an extremely dull one in the copper traCe. and this year is bring ing no exception to the rule
 The London metal market continues cratic but no material decline has occurred in pricos. Best selected" IS

It IS known. of course, that Lawson has there is general confidence that when Amalgdmated gets down to a level below which 1t cannot be further Ce. pressed. good coppers will discount the high price Of the metal as they should have done months ago.
 The present decline will naturally hurJ some speculative accounts. and more or less copper stocks may be thrown on the market. Such selling should be watched for. and bargains should not be allowed to ga a begging There are a number of copper stocks that will be pretty sure to advance as soon os the clouds of the sent tiuaLcial storm pass. though iL is not improbable that they may first sell somewhat lower. I feel certain that all stocks will eventually sell consi5 era0ly higher than at present prices and l recommend their purchase or all reactions.

AMALGAMATEO OPEN.

Of course, all mining shares are more or less susceptible to the chang ing moods of the stock market; but the recent violent fluctuations in Amalganated Copper constitute a striking comment on the policy Of se- crecy. No man outside the immedi- ate management can say what is the property of that company. what are it's earnings or it's financial condition at any time. The stock is. therefore, pc culiarly open to the attacks of specu- lators. Any one who has. or pre- tends to have, knowledge, can com mand attention. and send the stock down by playing on the fears of it's many holders. as he could not do if they were properly informed:-Engin- eering and Mining Journal

MITCHELL co. ISSUES CIRCULAR TO STOCKHOLDERS
DIRECTORS HOLD MEETING IN
 ISHPEMING, MICH.
Circular Is Issued Saying Directors Think if S7,5oo is Not Forthcoming Affairs of the Company Should Be Wound Up.

The directors and other prominent interests associated with the Mitchell Development company met in Ishpe- ming few days ago, says the Mining Gazette. to discuss the affairs of the company As a result of this meet ing a circular letter was prepared and copies were received yesterday by the copper country stockholders. There IS a large number of Mitchell stock holders in the Portage Lake towns, Calumet and elsewhere throughout this district. Those interests were represented in he Ishpeming meeting. The circular follows:
 Two drill holes were completed showing some mineral and a third partly completed when the work was suspended on account of a lack Of funds. The directors think the pro posed drilling should be completed and also some winzes should be sunk on
 he ore discovered on the 350-foot level. In crde- to do this it will Te- quire al least 50 cents a share. As soon as s7 800 of th.s money has been received by the treasurer. work will be started 10 complete the proposed undertaking. or as much Of it as the funds will permit.
 If the above mentioned S7.500 is not received within 20 days the di- r,c-ors think it advisable to close up the affairs of the company and return the 30 cents assessment to such of the stockholders as have paid"
 l. may be explained in connection with the above circular that in the third hcIe. which is mentioned as un- completed. 20 feet of ore was penetra . led. l. was not high grade but was of an encouraging nature and pronounced by well informed people as good ma terial in which to explore. as it indi- cates the proximity of high grade ore. It is expected by some of those who have studied the situation and under stand the lay of the beds that the third hole if extended will come into a body within short distance which was cut while sinking the shaft. Ia the shaft a. a depth of $50 feet a drift extends eastward and from this a crcsscut has been driven which is said 10 be breasted all in ore. A trifJ also extends westward from the same level and penetTates an ore body which has had no further exploration than that coming from the drift run ming through it. From the end of this westerly drift al a depth of $50 ! feet a diamond drill was operated and
 at an additional depth of 341 feet an ore body was encountered from which ! ' fee. or core of high grade sulphide 1 copper ore was extractc5.
 It has been gIea- 4l from various I sources that all the Cei nIUent stock upon which the las, as -.ment of sl share is due, has been sold. the pur- chase being in the interest of the con- pany. and the stock has now been retored to the treasury. It is redeem able, however. upon the payment Oi
 the assessment any tine before Jan uary |.
 ' IL is understood that the property is well thought of around Bisbee but tha.
 the management has been censureG c!
 condemned by many.

THE FL DORADO.
Rich Gold Mire in PinaI County Sends
 Good News.

W. s. Owen. vice president of tbe Fl Dorado Gold and Silver Mining company. wl-tes that he has struck a large body of rich ore at a depth of about 55 feet. of which he sent q sam pie to Heller & Wright. assayers. Of this city. says the Douglas Dispatch. This gave values as follows: sG4S.S0 gold and 54.6 ounces silver. this being an average assay.
 C. II. Goshen, president of this com pany. has been in Bisbee for a couple of days. and on returning to Douglas Wednesday night he received the news of the rich strike and took the next train for the mine.
 The company has now sold a suHi- cient amount of stock to do consider able development work.
 There is no further doubt but that this company will make a wonderful success of this property.
 The success of the Fl Dorado has been phenomenal and every arrange ment has been made to develop the as fast as possible. Those who have seen the ore from the Fl Dorado are very enthusiastic over the results. and there is no further doubt that it will prove one of the greatest gold mines in the Territory. Other companies are arranging 10 start de velopment work at once. The Gila will have men at work soon.

DINNER IN COMPLIMENT
 TO PRESIDENT ALDERMAN.

The Birmingham Alumi of Tulane uni- versity gave a dinner last evening at the Hillman in compliment to President F. A. Alderman of Tulane. The dinner was served in the private dining room and was a notably brilliant occasion. The table had for it's center piece tall vase filled with La France roses. while drawn from the chandeliers at either end of the dining rooms were broad bands of satin ribbon carrying out the colors of the uni versity. The dinner cards were poste cards on the reverse side of which were scenes about Birmingham. and these were tied with the olive and blue coors of Tulane.
 The toasts proposed were most elo- quent
 Those present were President Alder man, MT. Mason, Gen. Rufus N. Rhodes, MT. Heaeock. Governor Montague of Vir- ginia, President Abercrombie of the Uni- versity of Alabama MT. Northington Prof. Hopson Murphre of the Marion Military institute, MT. Hayes. MT. Watts, Mir Hill, pr. J. H. Phillips, Dr. Talley, Governor Cunningham, Mir. Hardness, MT. Thach, Mir. Hagood, MT.

ALL THE PAPERS
 ARE TURNED OVER
PURCHASE PRICE OF $40,000,000 FOR PANAMA CANAL HAS BEEN ADVANCED BY PARIS SYNDl- CATE OF BANKERS.

washington. April 27-The attorney rororai has received cablegrams from Messrs Day and Russell, who went 10
 Paris as his representatives to cohuuc' the closing negotiations for the Panama canal property, to the effect that the deeds of the property, archives ana all other papers and documents when WI" belonp to the United States under the
 transfer. have already been turned over to them. and that the purchase price ot $40 oO0 900 has been advanced to the Ca- nal company by a Paris syndicate or bankers.
 This syndicate, it is understood or fered to pay over the money with VIC"
 to expediting the consummatlon or the sale on the assurance of the attorney general that the draft on the ohiteu
 states for ,0O0 would be honored on presentation at the treasury at Wash- ington.
 Al the time the money was paid over
 to the Canal company in Paris, Major Mark Brooks of the engineer corps oi the army now in Colon, was authorized to formally receive the property on the isthmus in the name of the United States. Whether this transfer has actually been
 made by the republic of Panama, the de-
 partment of justice has not yet been advised, but it is assumed it will be made within a day or two Messrs. Day and
 Russell are expected to return to Wash ington within the next ten days, ana
 will bring with them the title deeds or
 the canal property.
 Though sympathizing with the efforts of the European holders of Colombian bonds to induce the new state of Panama to assume some share of the foreign in- debtedness of Colombia the state depart
 ment has made no move in that matter since the retirement from Washington of M Bunau-V -Varilla, the Panamanian
 minister. Before the minister left Wash ington Secretary Hay took occasion to impress upon him the fact that consid-
 erations of equity should move Panama
 to an assumption of some part of the national debt, but the minister was not particularly impressed and no effort was made to bring pressure to bear upon the new government. The attempt to delay the payment of the sl0,O000O to Panama by the presentation of old Colon fire
 fire claims, probably will not receive the endorsement of the department.

HARDWIck MAY MOVE UP.
Several Changes Are Contemplated
 Since w. A. Turks Death.

Memphis, April 27.-A local paper prints the following:
 Consequent upon the death of ". A. Turk of Washington, passenger traffic manager of the Southern railway, several interesting changes in the personnel of the passenger department are imminent. It is understood the management of the company favor the promotion of s. H. Hardwick, general passenger agent, to the vacancy occasioned by the death of MT. Turk.
 In the event of MT. HardwicS's pro- promotion w. A. Tayloe. assistant general passenger agent. with headquarters in Atlanta, probably will be advanced to the place made vacant by the promotion of Mir. Harwiek Brooks Morgan of At lanta is said to be slated for the posi- ton of assistant general passenger agent now filled by Mir. Tayloe.
 The promotions as indicated are said to have been agreed upon by the man. agement of the Southern railway Con firmation of the changes depends upon the action of the board of directors which meets in Washington next week.

The reception at the Hillman yesterday afternoon In compliment to the visitors to the educational conference was very brilliant and of notable social interest assembling, as 1t did. so many distin- guished guests as well as Birmingham's most representative citizens.
 All of the guests were received in the state drawing room, Mrs. Cyrus Pittman Orr. president of the Alabama Federation of Womens clubs. standing at the head of the receiving line She was very hand somely gowned In ecru lace. The guests were presented by Prof William P. Fay Tor. The receiving line extended almost the length of the drawing room, the guests, after being presented to the ladies in line, passing into the palm garden through the drawing room entrance and also through the Turkish rooms. Even with the spaciousness of the palm room and the ball room beyond the hundreds of guests constantly arriving thronged the corridors and those lounging in the palm room found it difficult to retrace their steps to the cloak rooms.
 The receiving hours were from to 6 o'clock, and the weather condi- tions, which have not been very auspi- cious, were ideal. the avenues flooded with April sunshine and the atmosphere typically spring. The decorations were elaborate and beautiful. Quantities of costly roses were used and palms and potted plants made most showy and effective decorative scheme.
 Iced beverages were served in the palm room, the punch bowls being embedded in tropical foliage. In the ball room the decorations were gorgeous American beauty roses, the lights being shaded with crimson paper. Ices were served in the ballroom.
 The Calman orchestra played through out the receiving hours, and in a wreath of flowers and tropical foliage, brilliant lights and music, Birmingham endeavored to extend a cordial greeting to her many distinguished guests.
 MT Ogden remained through a greater part of the reception, but owing to a board meeting he vas compelled to be ab- sent for a short time. He returned as Sooh ds poSSlDle ana nunureuS or people were presented to him.
 MT. Ogden's daughters, Mrs. Creary and Mrs. Purnc, of New York, were among the brilliant visiting women.
 Mrs. Abbe and Miss Curtis, also of New York, were among the distinguished visiting women.

 Arriving later in the afternoon was Mrs 'Thorp of Cambridge, who, as the daugh- ter of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, held | a brilliant court in the palm garden. She was charmingly gowned in grey, and at tracted to her and held all those who met her by the charm of her own person. ality.
 l Among the guests at the reception was the south's most brilliant beauty, Miss Claudia Palmer, of Richmond, Va.
