 ing Experience in Mexico.
 The Fl Paso Daily Times of yester- day had the following:
 James c. March, who arrived in the city yesterday enroute to his former home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. tells of a narrow escape he had in Sonora about thirty miles east of Guaymas He claims that he, together with a party of five prospectors, were at tackled by a small band of YaQui In- dians. The attack, he says, was evil denuy for the purpose of plunder. According to the account given the party was coming up a narrow dehle between two mountains when they were fired upon by the Indians. who were hidden behind the rocks. One Mexican was wounded in the shoulder by the volley and also a pack mule killee The men returned the fire and started on a gallop down the valley, as they did not know the strength of the opposing force. Another volley followed on their retreating trail but they managed to avoid further in- juries.
 The Indians" said March, "are not on the warpath, but they are fast degenerating into bands of robbers scattered over the mountain districts They are really in a desperate condi- ton, as their crops have failed and of late years they have had but few cattle. The rurales are after them but although the facts are denied, it is found difficult to keep them on their reservations"
 Mir. March reports mining opera tions on the boom in Sonora and a great deal more work being carried al the present time than ever before He states that he has two promising cluaims about forty miles east oi Guaymas, which he is now developing and of which he has great expecta tions.

Experts to Examine
 Jacket and Bisbee
INFLUENTIAL MEN TO TAKE
 PART IN FURTHER WORK.
For Preeent, Operations Wil Be Sus- pended but the Near Future Will See Property Worked More Aseres- siveiy than Ever Before. Heavy Working Outfit to Be Installed.

Photographic advices sent The Re view yesterday afternoon from Calu- met. Michigan, from an absolutely re- liable source. state that the officials of the Red Jacket & Bisbee company who reside in the Michigan copper country. have interested Q party of most influential men in the property and they will shortly play a promi- aent part in the future development Of the company's claims. The Review i; also informed through the same source that the property is to be ex- amine0 thoroughly by experts. in the meantime work being suspended, when new operations are again com meneed one of the very best of work ing outfits for exploratory and devel- opment work will be installed.
 The examination of the Red Jacket G Bisbee claims will be conducted by expert mining and scientific men from Michigan within the next few weeks and the time during which operations at the property will bein suspense will not be long, and it is assumed that this latest move by the officials means that they are quite positive that their property will develop into 2 paying proposition. The claims are located most favorably, being sit uated less than a mile from the pres ent working shaft of the Wolverine & Arizona mine. Distributed on the sides of the bluff incluCed in the group of R. J. & B. claims are numer- ous outcroppings of iron and copper stained mineral that are about as fine md promising as any to be found on the range that extends through the various properties southeast of the Wolverine & Arizona.
 The present workings on the R. J. s B property consist of a three com Dartment shaft about two hundred feet deep. Nothing of great promise has been encountered, in the shaft as yet and the company did not expect that an ore body would be reached until considerably greater depth had been attained
 The recent decision of the officials of the company doubtless means that the same policy along the line of ex- ploratory work as is being carried or at most of the development proper ties will be adopted on the Red Jack ct & Bisbee grounds, that is to say that diamond drills are to be em ployed. Future developments on the property, of course, will depend upon the verdict of the experts who are tc examine the claims. but it can be de pended upon almost as a certainty that the final conclusions of these mer will be favorable as the R. J. & B. i; in possession of a gronp of claims that are as valuable for prospective mining as are those of its sister prop critics, the Wolverine & Arizona ana Bisbee West, the R. J. & B. being To cated between the two.

in the wisdom of the management it is better to hold the metal than to turn it into cash. it should meet the approval of the stockholders.
 While the output of the mine is practically unvarying from day to day. the price received for the metal is sub ject to constant fiuctuation. and natur- ally this causes fiuctuation in the in come as well as in the freedom with which the meal is turned into cash. Therefore the statement of cash an6l copper on hand at any given time may show wide variance in the ratio of cash tc copper from a similar state inert at another time.
 While the probability of the compa- ny desiring to create a large surplus for the purpose of enlarging the smelt- CT is accepted as logical, 9. the same time another purpose was suggested. That was that the company may be preparing for an exceptionally large dividend at the end of the next quar- ter. The reason for this can readily be seen in the fact that many heavy stockholders of the Calumet & Ari- zona will have to meet their share in the payment of s1,059, GOO on the ake Superior 6 Pittsburg property. due when the June dividend becomes payable. It certainly would be deemed @ prucent policy to lay up a heavy surplus to meet a payment of this size

Too Much unwise Booming.

"A director of the Calumet & Arizo- ma. in speaking to the Mining Gazette yesterday. while unwilling to discuss the purposes of carrying a surplus of over S1, ,250.0 .000. or the reduction of the dividend from s2 a share three months ago to. S1.50 at present. said the infer ence should not be drawn that the earnings for the quarter now ending had fallen off On the contrary they have shown a material increase over the earnings of the proceeding quar- ter
 The Calumet & Arizona Is so much talked about and is made the basis for so many unwarranted predictions and ridiculous assertions, that the public is led to believe things of it. All this is 6istasteful to the officers Of the com pany. since the public is prone to shoulder the responsibility of many newspaper statements upon the direc- tors. In fact, some statements are known to emanate from sources so well Cn the inside that they have the color of being semi-cfficial. although they are not such in any sense But there are many optimists who are only too willing to magnify everything they see or know about a mining property. The Calumet & Arizona officials and directors are not making any predic- tiOns or giving out any statements further than actual conditions of the property; and even these statements are not made until the facts have been established to a degree that leaves no doubt"

sent about a dozen delegates this at
ternoon to the State Y. w. G. A. con-
vention at Ames, the party going over
the Iowa Central and the Northwes-
tern.
The sudden change in temperature
calls loudly for heat in stores and
public buildings, but the bitches are
still open in a part of the business dis
trict and the mains are not ready for
the distribution of heat. Scarcity of
labor is in part the cause of the de-
lay. A little rain caused the banks
in some cases to slip and cave in ana
so the labor is increased and the time
Of completion deferred. Both the man
ager of the heating plant and the long
suffering public are anxious to see the
end.

ers and Feeders in Fair Request -
Hogs About Lower Today.

Chicago, Oct 20.-Supplies are still
increasing. There was good demand
today but buyers wanted fat cattle, and
while they were firm at the recent adj
easy prices. More cattle are selling
below 81 than heretofore, while the
percentage sold at 1925 and better if
small. There is good demand for
rather heavy weights as we'll as for
choice yearlings, good quality being the
most important requisite. Cows and
heifers are in fair demand at unchang-
ed prices, western rangers fairly ac-
tive. and stockers and feeders in fair
request.
The top price of $3.50 yesterday was
the highest paid on the open market
since December Of 1902, and stood DC
above the previous high mark this
wear. noted last Wednesday,. Prime
grades, however, form so very slim
proportion Of the run that sales of such
should not be construed by country
shippers as foretelling the future
course of prices for the medium and
common steers, and while the strictly
fancy beeves have been climbing to-
ward a very high notch in the past
few weeks there has been an up-and-
down trade in the lower grades, and
prices for those selling under IS to-
day ranged largely 10000 lower than
the high point one week ago, while
there were instances Of greater de-
cline. The demand for the latter
=
classes is only equal to moderate Of
ferings, and traders generally believe
that big run Of this class In the near
future will only force values to low
err range, regardless of the course OF
prices for prime steers.
Hogs.

yesterdays high time, bulk selling $4.95

About 5000 hogs remained In the
