KNOCK II 10 piSCSS. - SCHLE1-
Schley went and
was hammering the fort to bits when
his Quartermaster rushed up TO him
and said:
Captain, the admiral has signaled
Us TO stop at once and return to tie
fleet"
Never mind the signal; won't see
it, answered Schley.
He kept pounding away ct the fort
until II was in ruins; then he returned
to the fleet. Farragut was angry and
summoned him. Before all the officers
of the flagship he gave Schley fierce
dressing down for not obeying the re
call signal.
81 didn't see it." protested Schley.
You must have shut the eye that
you put the glass to- said Farragut.
After again raking him fore and aft
for his disobedience the admiral took
him into the cabin out Of sight of the
other officers and gave him drink Of
the finest liquor aboard.

"a feat full of romance and worthy Of
the best days of chivalry." In 1863
Estes, then captain, gallOpea his horse
across the space intervening between
the hostile lines while Il battle was in
progress and. amid storm of leaden
hail, seized a Confederate flag and bore
it back into the Federal lines. He sent
the trophy to his mother.
His most important service WAS per
formed in August, 1864, while General
Sherman's army was fighting its way
to Atlanta. On the afternoon of the
3Oth, with scarcely 100 men. he drove
800 OF the enemy four miles. In their
retreat the COnfederates tore up the
plankinG on the bridge over the Flint

Howard's army should pass the bridge
that night on its way to Atlanta be-

put out the fire. Then they laid fence

Arizona and New Mexico may not be ready for statehood at this time. but they will be almost before We know it." said Thomas Bardon of Ashland, president of the Shattuck-Arizona Cop per company, yesterday. The terri tory of Arizona has wonderful future in the mining business and New Mexi- co is destined to be a great stock coun- try. Both territories are making ex- .traordinary strides in population and wealth. Northern capital and methods are the forces at work in the develop ment of both Arizona and New Mexico
 The recent trip Of some of my bus iness associates and myself to Arizona included a v.sit to the Greene Consol- dated property in the state of Sonora. Mexico. IL is about sixty miles from Bisbee. This is a large and valuable property and of comparatively recent development We traversed a tunnel about a mile in length and among oJl- CT things wele shown a block Of ore 7OOx500 feet and of unknown depth Forty-five hundred men are employed. Colonel Greene, who is at the head Of the Greene Consolidated was once a common miner. and herCer He and his associates have purchased a large tract of timber in old Mexico and will dispose of it to the Arizona mining districts. Timber for these districts is now obtained from California and Oregon. and the new source of supply will be advantageous to the Arizona mining men.
 We were handsomely entertained at Paradise by Captain Knowles. su- perintendent of the Chiricahua Devel- cpment company, and a former well known mining man on the Gogebic and other of the old Lake Superio- ranges. He said his company would be shipping ore inside of eight months. This is in the California Cistrict. where our Duluth & Chiricahua prop critics are situated. and which are also proving very encouraging in the pro cess of development. F.. P. & S. w. and Southern Pacific roads are both about equldistant from Paradise. and stand ready to build there as soon as every thing is ready for the shipping of ore. .''
 MT Bardon says that the newly ac- quired bunch of claims adjoining June ticn on the north had been under op- ton for some time 10 the ShaJtucll crowd. and that they have recently decided to take them.-Duluth Fri bune. Dec. :.

NEW COMPANY
 SELLING STOCK FOR DEVELOPMENT
SEVERAL BLOCKS WERE TAKEN IN DOUGLAS YES
 TEROAN.
k Gold Propositon Owned By oriui- nal Locators on oiIa River, in Pinai County.
Special to Review9

Douglas. Dec. 15.-The stock of the Fl Dorado Gold & Silver Mining com. psny will be ready for delivery in a few days, anG already a number of shares have been subscribed for. This is the company incorporated by the Goshen Brothers of this city and their associates for the purpose of develop ing the rich group of mines owned by them on the Gila river near Dudley vile. in Pinal county.
 The controlling owners Of the com pany are the original locators of the mines. and they are men worthy of confidence. They have spent much of their lives in prospecting in the west, enduring the usual hardships in- ciCent to searching the mineral hills. Now they have one or the most prom fsing properties to be found anywhere
 ID Arizona, but they are without the necessary means to develop the prop erty, and have incorporated for the purpose of getting assistance.
 Al the store of Goshen Brothers, on C avenue, can be seen some Of the ore which is now being taken from the shaft, which has reached a depth of nearly fifty feet. The rock is marvel ously rich. and is found in a well de fined ledge. The low capitalization of this company makes it a cesirable one for investors.
 The directors of the company are men who may be depended upon to ex- ercise the strictest economy in carry- ing on the work; they are not of the promoter class, but men who know the value of a dollar and will get value received for every cent expended; they are not engaged in a stock job bing scheme. and will not sell a single share more than is absolutely neces- sary to keep the work going on at the mines. They have every confidence of success. and have put their all into the proposition with the expectation Of making a great mine. which will en- rich all who become interested in it.

MINING.

It is noticeable that Iron Ore has a goOd wOrd to say regarding the Shat tuck-Arizona Co When the company was first organized it was made the subject of a scathing arraignment and at the same time Iron Ore ad- yised it's readers to keep their mon ey in their pocket. This advice was uncalled for as the owners of this property have never yet offered a share of this stock for sale. The Shattuck-Arizona company is a close corporation. putting up their own money for the development of one of the most promising claims in the War -en district and located right in the midst Of the best producing mines surrounding Btsbee A number of To- cal investors would be glad to get some of this stock but their is none to be obtained Tote fair Brer. Nit. There will be other producing mines in Blsbee outside of the Bonanza Circle.

Hayden & Stone. brokers Of Boston who are of the most conservative in her class. and who keep closely in touch with the copper industry. pre- dict in letter just issued on the mar ket. conditions, etc. that the gain in output Of copper will come principally from the mines of Bisbee.

 Commenting on the letter Iron Ore .ays:
 As Iron Ore has predicted. copper circles are bound to recognize the merits of the Arizona field. Boston may be little late in finding out Arizona has merit, but statistics show that territory to be third in the list of producers in our list. Arizona may find new mines aside from those al ready known. It is a biz country. but we beg 10 remark that it will be SDme time before another Bonanza Circle group is discovered

THE METAL MARKET.

Copper is slightly heavier and at the moment there is very little busi- ness doing. Lake is 15 to 15 If cents and electrolytic is 15 to 15 Is cents per pound. The violent decline in Amalgamated Copper stock tempora- rily unsettled the confidence of con sumers, and caused the foreign hold CTS of speculative lots of copper to throw it on the market, resulting in a considerable decline in London metal quotations. It was but natural that some consumers should fear that weakness in Amalgamated would be followed by decline in the company's product. as the copper history made in the closing months of 1901 must be very fresh in their memories. It can be expended upon as certain, however, that there is no surplus metal in the hands of producers now. and that. .even with 15 cents the going price, consumption is keeping well up to pro- ductiOn
 It is probable that the exports of copper will fall off considerably this month, as it is believed that practical. ly all of the surplus copper bought in this country for export has been clean ed up. and for the moment Europe and Asia have ceased buying. Procucers are in a strong position, and are con fident of the future The market will be determined by the amount of buy ing demand that comes in after the first of the year. If the enquiry is as heavy as is to be expected, the price of the metal will go still higher.

One day this week a Geiiyeryman from the Copper Queen Store arrived at the residence of Broker Frank Graf 0n School Hilf. his arms laden with an assortment of the most exquisite cut glass table ornaments. Behind these Christmas presents is a little story which goes to show that Broker Graf keeps in close touch with the stock 'narket wherever he may be.
 A few days ago MT. Graf had occa- sion b visit Albuquerque. where he made arrangements for opening an- other brokers office in Fl Paso. Be lore his departure two of "the boys" bought a bunch of Shannon on mar gins. Sitting close to the ticker in Albuquerque, Graf saw Shannon stock slowly declining. It was 10 II. then 2; 1t dropped to eight, seven and six. The three dollar margins Of the Bisbee investors were wiped out, and there was loss of somsthing like sl7OO to fhem. They grinned a sicKiy smile in Bisbee. and wished that Graf was home. not knowing that this gentle man was watching the board in Aibu. 9uerqua just a5 close as they were Lere.
 When ShanrOn stopped at six. Graf decided 10 mske hat margin money hack. and do it quick. He bought Si00o worth of this stock at six doi- f2rs outright. Watched it go up toI nine dollars. sold out, and put the t1ot1ts in his inside pocket for the re- turn trip to Bisbee. Arriving here two days later. the first fellows he met were his two friends. who had bought shannon or margins.
 Well" said one of the fellows. we suppose you know that we got wiped off the map"
 T don't know any such thing" re- piled Graf. You fellows come in ,Iere with me. while lecture you a bit" ard they followed the broker into his private office.
 Just what was said behind closed doors the Review man did not learn, but it wes evidently satisfactory to the margin players. They emerged with their margin money. which they had kissed good bye, tucked away in their inside pockets. Then followed ihe Christmas presents next day.
