STATEMENT is BAD
TANoLE IN THE GOVERNMENTS
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
National Banks Have Possession of
Surplus Funds-Deceptive Treasury
Statement VIII Not Avail to Deceive
the People.

The report shows available cash
balance" of nearly one hundred and
fifty millions, of which only fourteen
millions are really available Expen-
ditures exceed receipts twenty mill
ions during July, indicating large de-
hciency for fiscal year 1904-5.
There is no getting away from the
fact that the financial affairs of the
government are not in good shape, In
Apite of the protestations of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw that
everything is lovely Outside of the
trust funds the statement issued by
the United States treasury July 28,
1904, shows an available cash balance
Of $l4S,SS6, 472.0S. OF that amount the
statement shows that Sl04,963,7 1873
is deposited in the national banks and
$1705, 2S712 has been credited to the
accounts of disbursing officers and
both of these amounts cannot be
called available. The secretary of the
treasury could, of course. call on the
banks to repay the amount the gov
eminent has loaned them, but to do so
would so inconvenience the banks and
so disturb the money market that Sec
rotary Shaw is unlikely to make the
cali.
In past years the New York banks
have, during the fall months, always
had to provide for repaying to the
country banks in the South and West.
the money they have on deposit. This
money is needed by the country banks
to move the crops The New York
banks claim that they have to furnish
the money to move the crops, but
they are really only repaying the
country banks what they owe them.
Wnen the demand from the country
banks Is excessive, the New York
hanks have to call the loans they
have made on stock security. The
result is the "iurries' in the stock
market we often hear of, for the Dor
rCwers have to replace those loans at
higher rates of interest. or in case
they cannot reborrow, the stocks held
by the banks as security are sold.
If many such loans are closed out
and a large amount of stocks are
forced to sale, tho price of stocks de-
clines rapidly and a panic ensues.
Everyone then wants to sell and there
are but few buyers. No Secretary OF
the Treasury would feel justified in
calling on the banks for the govern
ment money they have, at such a time,
for it would add to the panic. Thus
il is seen that Secretary Shaw could
demand the one hundred. or over,
millions the banks hold, but it cannot
be called Immediately available.
Then there are other large amounts
included in this available cash bal.
anCe' that are not available. In the
treasury Of the Philippines there is
s7,3l6,937, and awaiting reimburse
ment for bonds and interest there is
Sl365o3.3S, making in all s120122-
50263 that must be deducted from
the available cash balance, which
would reduce that amount to only
S2S, 76S 969 As. But then again there
are a number Of items that are figured
In the cash in the general fund that
are not available. as follows:

Masked dancers In the dance Of life
We move sedateiy YEARLY to-

Afraid to show sign Of inward strife.
We hold our soils In tether.
We dance with proud and smiling lips,
With frank appealing eyes, with shy
hands elinging.
We sing, and few will question II there
slips
A sob into our singing.
Each has certain step to learn,
Our prisoned feet move staidly in set

And to and fro we pass, since life is

Patiently. with masked faces.
Yet some there are who will not dance,
They sit apart most sorrowful and

HOW PHELPSOODGE co.
 MISSED IT AT CANANEA.

It is not generally known that the great and substantial mining concern. the Phelps Dodge company, missed getting into Cananea on the ground floor. says the Fl Paso Herald, and yet for years that company has been oper- ating he famous Copper Queen at Bisbee. and the Nacozar. mines at Nacczari. Sonora, both in close proX- ;mity t0 C2nanea.
 It appears that J. H. Deveraux, a well known mining engineer of New York. brought the matter before the PLelps-Dodge people when Col Greene was hard up and that company was of fered the whole of Cananea for S2O0,- GOO gold CT half interest for $iO00O. They would not considec it, saying there vas nothing there. Since then the Phelps-Dodge people boughC IT, diana-Sonora property, a small part of Cananea, paying therefor much more lhan they could have bought the whole camp for. and have taken out nothing yet The best of them can miss it, and the Pheips-DoGge company is Un- dou5tedly ihe cleanesc and most legi- innate big inning company in the world IL lives and lets live. pays as it goes, and pays well.

BULLION SHIPMENTS.

From the MogolIons Are Passing
 Through Silver City Every Week.
 There passed through the city last week three bars of gold and silver bull lion. aggregating 2OOO ounces, from the mill of the Ernestine Mining com pany at Mogollon. Regular shipments of bullion end concentrates are being made by the company every week. The Last Chance Mine. which is pro ducing the ore from which the bullion is being extracted. is proving to be 9 bonanza to the Ernestine Mining com pany. large blocks of fabulOusly rich ore having been encountered recently. E. Craig. the manager of the company, is deserving of all the success that is coming his way. as he has styed with the property for years, with con fdence unshaken in it's value. That his confidence was not misplaced is p1cven by the splendid showing made by the mine in the last six months, during which it has been worked steadily. supplying a large daily ton mage for the mill. besides opening up a large boGy of exceedingly rich ore.

As the result of a shooting atfray in Central, Victor Queen, head timber man Of the Burro Mountain Copper company was instantly killed. and for mer Deputy Sheriff D. NJ. Turner, who has been serving as watchman and peace officer for the sane company slightly wounded last week. Of the tragedy the Silver City Enterprise re- port says:
 James Wiley. proprietor of a saloon at Central. and F. F. Freeman were arrested, charged with the crime. ana had their preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Crowley, who bound them over to the next grand jury in the sum of s30O0 each. Both furnished bond and the men were re leased from custody. Wiley and freemaf, in taking part in the trageGv. plead self defense. in oxtenuation.
 The deplorable affair occurred about three a. m. in front of Wileys saloon. Turner and Queen drove into Silver City from the Burro Mountains in the afternoon and after remaining here the earlier part of the evening, left about ten o'clock for Central While in the city, it is alleged, Turner made threats against the lives of Wiley and Freeman and stated that they were going over to Central to do them up. It is said Wiley and Freeman were in- formed of Turner's threat by tele- phone, and told to be on their guard Upon arriving in Central, Turner and Queen entered Wiley's saloon and re mained 8 short time. during which nothing out of the ordinary transpired. The two men left the saloon, but re- turned about three o'clock in the morning 10 the rooming house dioin- ing the saloon. Failing to awaker anyone, they started out of the gate in front of the place when the shoot lng commenced At this point the stories of the two cortending sides conflict, each claiming the other fired the first shot. Queen received two bullet wounds from a siX-shooter, one of which proved fatal He also re ceived a discharge of No. 4 buckshot in the lower part of the abdomen. sev- eDteen Of the shot taking effect This last shot was received from the front and shows that Queen was facing his assananJs when he received this wound. Turner received a bullet wound in the thigh which is merely a flesh wound and will not prove ser ious.
 Victor Queen. the murdered man, was head timbeTman for the Burro Mountain Copper company and was considered by the management of the company as a very valuable and use ful man. He was a. man of fine physique. being fully six feet tall. He was about @ years of age and leaves a wife but no children.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Special Correspondence)


 Boston. Dec. IS.
 The tock market this week has eX- perienced one of those shocks which come from disturbed confidence, and the decline in market quotations was as severe as if the general prosperity of the country had suddenly become reversed. and the underlying condi- tions, which have been so carefully nursed and built up for the past year, had ail been wiped out Speculative sentiment is always so sensitive. es- pecially after stocks have had a long continued advance, that sometimes even a warning, providing it emanate3 from a source important enough tC re ceivs consideration, is sufficient to start not only a decline, but a stam- pede, and that is just what has occur ed during the present week.
 Mr. Lawson's note of warning re- garding Amalgamared Copper came to he public as a .ihunderbolt from a clear sky, and the immediate response in the stock market proved that his warning was well timed. Those whJ were in a position to fully understand the import of Mir Lawson's letter have undoubtedly reaped very sub stantial gains. We do not believe that even MT. Lawson himself expect ed his attack on Amalgamated Copper would produce such a condition oi
Bisbee daily review., 1904-12-20

Generalization It naturally follows that when Q stock, as prominent as Amalgamated Copper has been, is thrown upon the market as this stock was, immediately following the publ. cation of Mir. Lawson's letter. the whole list would sympathize, and as a result many stocks which have not, even at the highest prices reached this year. more than fully discounted busi- ness conditions. were thrown over board without regard to merit, divi- denl or future prospects. If Anal gamatei Copper is a swindle, then MT. Lawson has done good work in notify ing the public. and it is now up to him to prove it. This, he claims, he in- tends O GO. and We believe that MT. Lawson has only told a part of what he knows. If what is to come is as bad as that which he has already pub lished. then Amalgamated Copper would b well to sell their copper for any thing they can get for it and Fever under any circumstances t,uch it again The New York Stock Ex- change ought to take iI off the list and throw it out on the street. where it belongs.
 Despite the serious break in prices, during the past week, cOndiJi0ns Ie- main prefectly sound, and We believe those who have had the courage to buy on this weeks low level '"ill make very handsome profits. Both New York and Boston. especially the latter will have 2 good bull market in the new year.
