PENALTY FOR PAVING MEN
Fines to Be Imposed on Contractors for
Delaying Work.
CITY ENGINEER TIRED OF THE TACTIC
Delay Partly Due, Says ROSewHteFi
to ridiculous System of Red
Tape in Vogue at the
City Hall.

Contractors who have been delaying paw
ing have received peremptory orders from
the city engineering department to get busy
or prepare to suffer full penalties II they
do not complete their work within the
time limit which varies in different con-
tracts, according to the date.
To date twenty-five paving jobs have oeen
ordered by the council, petitions for ma
terial filed by property owners and con-
tracts signed by the city, while eighteen
more prospective paving jobs are at va
rIous stations along the red tape route
Altogether property owners are trying TO
get forty streets paved yet only two
pieces of work have been done-by the
Nebraska Bitulithic company on Capitol
avenue between Twenty-fourth and Twen-
ty-sixth streets, and by c. e. Tanning on
Spaulding street, from Twenty-fourth to
Thirtieth. The former company is now
working on Seventeenth street, between
Davenport and Webster while Tanning is
at work on Lake street. Hugh Murphy
last week began to pave Twentieth street
from Farnam to Leavenworth and the
Barber people more recently started pre-
liminary work on Twenty-sixth street, from
Dodge to Chicago.

Contracts Let Separately.

The principal source of delay is attrib-
uted by the engineering department to the
fact that on many streets the paving con-
tracts and curbing contracts were let sep
arately to different firms, and that the
companies that secured the curbing have
been tagging. Most of the curbing went
to the Commercial Land company, through
which c. d. Woodwork supplies Bedford
stone curbing, but f. d. Van Court got
a slice of It. Both are accused of the
tardiest kind Of performances and some
OF the letters TO them sent out by the en-
gineering department last week are in
caustic language. The Commercial Land
company has put in stone in two or three
streets, but has not finished It so paving
can follow, It is said Van Court has
started TO work after a man from the
engineering department bounded his trail
most Of last week.

TITS a shame more work has not been
done" says the city engineer. Part OF
the delay is due to the ridiculous system
OF red tape in paving matters now prevail
ing at the city hall, which keeps every one
in fear and trembling lest they make a
slight slip and invalidate taxes, besides re-
quirinB something like ninety days; the
rest is due 10 slow action by the curbing
contractors. II is the first time that curb
ing and paving contracts have been let
separate, as a general thing here.
Much paving can be done in two
months OF good weather however. The
Barber people are ready and will work fast
once the curbing and other preliminary
matters are complete. l am confident that
most of the work planned for this year
will be done. II will certainly be the ef-
fort Of the engineering department to bring
about this result"

L.C. SHATTUCK RETURNS
 FROM EASTERN TRIP
SAYS HE WAS NOT THERE ON
 MINING BUSINESS.
Trip Was Made for Pleasure-oraered No Machinery for Cochise-Left in Evening for Douglas, Presumably to Confer With 8. E. Graham.

[ L. c. Shattuck returned home yes terday morning from his couple of months visit at Ere, Pa. Mrs. Shat tuck and children accompanied him back.
 Yesterday NIT. Shattuck was closely applied to business affairs in the city and in conference regarding mining af fairs until evening. when he left for Douglas. At the train he said that he did not know of anything particularly new.
 T was not in the east on mining bus mess" he continued, but for the pur' pose of enjoying a visit with old friends and having a rest. It was a pleasant trip and did me good. l looE ed at some mining machinery while away, but not particularly with view of purchasing for the Cochise, as has been reported here. Before machin' cry is purchased for that property a good deal of preliminary work will have to be done. There will be meas urements to be taken and other de tails to be worked out before we will know what we want"
 MT. Shattuck said hewas going to Douglas last night, and that he might go further. This is taken 10 mean that he may go into Sonora to look into matters in connection with Fl Tigre mine, in the affairs of which he IS associated with B. F. Graham, and also to look after interests he has in
 other properties in the state. l. is known that MT. Graham has for some days been awaiting the return of Mir. Shattuck from the east in order to have consultation with him.

REGARDING C. G A.

We have several letters asking why Calumet & Arizona does not move up- ward faster. It is probably because there are newer things that seem to offer greater inducements. Men who think they see an opportunity of dou- bling their money in newer things take that chance. To double the pres ent price of Calumet & Arizona would be more than could be expected for some time to come. Those who went into North Butte at S15 were justified in selling anything they owned to se- cure it. They already have a gain of over 125 per cent with excellent chances for doing much better. It was too great a temptation to resist, and those who made the trade cid well. There are those who think they see in Junction an opportunity for a nice investment in that line. They hear Of things that are doing and believe it is wise to invest. The same can be said of American devel- opment stock and of Warren develop ment. These things possess chances for big gains and We know of many
 who are going into them. Wee it not for these things Calumet G Ariz0- na would be selling higher The Lake | spectators are putting their money
 into local properties that seem to them to give opportunity for substan- tial winnings, and the steady, dividend
 payers are being neglected for the time. Calumet & Arizona is selling 1 low considering its earning powers. Its dividends do not warrant any high
 CT prices, probably, but the fact that | it is earning much more than it is
 paying out is reason for higher quota | tions. It has big surplus There are those who are wondering if there is something the matter with the mine
 because it does not pay more in divi- | dends. Being out of debt they argue 1 that there is no need for the surplrs
 that is being accumulated. The com
 pany's policy has been a very con- 1 servative one. They are putting in
 new smelters, have been financially
 assisting some of the neighbors, and doing much to assist the entire group. ! So far as we can learn there is noth-
 ing physically the matter with Calu-
 met & Arizona. The buying public | thinks 1t can make more money taking other things. In time those who
 are satisfied with a sure thing will
 turn their attention to this property | Iron Ore.

cADENA DE COBRE.

John Fitzgerald, of the Cadena de Cobre mine in Sonora, Mexico, is mak- ing preparations to leave for the mine inc latter part of next week.
 MT. Fitzgerald was asked yesterday if there was any truth in the report, lately published in a Chihuahua pa. per, that the mine had been sold. He said it had not, but intimated that sev- eral parties wished to get hold of it. All treasury stock has been with drawn from the market in the mean time, so it is probable some kind of a deal is on hand.

LAKE COPPER COUNTRY.

Great things are doing in the copper country these days. Very few people, locally, have as yet awakened to a complete realization of what the new policy of the Calumet & Hecla means for the copper country. You have to get one of the new maps of the dis trict and see just how much of Kewee- nav county this corporation has talk en over to understand thoroughly just what possibilities there are in the thorough exploration of that great tract of land. Strike paying copper? It is almost a certainty. And all this Keweenaw activity means a great deal for the future success of the district
 Look at the business that assures Cal
 umet particularly The policy recent
 ly iterated by President Agassiz means that his company is convinced that this great copper mining district of ours is really in it's infancy and that there are mines still unheard of await
 ing development. And Sunday came the news of the excellent stamp rock showing at the new Challange on the south range. While the work has not yet reached a stage which would warrant the assertion that there is a mine on the property, it is pleas ing and very gratifying to note that the chances are more favorable than ever. The great south range, scoff- ed at and laughed 10 scorn five or six years ago, is now proving itself

QUIET TRADING WEEK
 COMES TO DULL CLOSE
PRICES ABOUT SAME AS THIS
 TIME LAST YEAR.
Good Deal of Junction Picked Up at Prevailing Figures-DisaPPointment Because 1t Is Not Higher-Oenn-Ari- zona in Demand al S1o.5o.
(By Frank J. Graf)
 Rishee- Sent. g. 19l


 The end of the week finds the stocks in a rather weak condition. All dur ing the week the market for the Bo- nanza Circle and the other stocks has been a quiet one. There has been a lack of trading caused by the sellers refusing 10 sell at the bid prices. While there is little difference be- tween the prices of stocks now anc at the corresponding time last year, eV- eryone looked for a higher market at this time owing to the reorganization of Junction. which should tend to ad- vance all the stocks. Little change is to be noted in the prices of the vari- GUS stocks since the opening of ;ha first of the week. Junction has but a limited time to advance before the re- organization and we look for a higher market this coming week. Calumet & Arizona has been selling around $97 and sos all week, with some de nand at s96, but trading has been rather limited.
 Calumet & Pittsburg held well at S30, no sales being made under that figure at any time of the week. The demand has been good, with considera- ble trading. Lake Superior & Pitts burg remains about the same, keep ing pretty close to S34.50 and S35. Bids of s34 do not bring out any.
 Pittsburg & Duluth has shown about as much strength as any, sales being made the early part of the week at S23, but towards the close there was stock offered at s22.5O with a strong de mand at s22, with none to be had at that price.
 Junction has been somewhat of a disappointment to many, as it was generally supposed that Junction would Ee over the hundred mark by this time, but it has been begged around S94 and s95, with bids of S92 and S93. Trading, however, has been good, and considerable has been picked up at these figures. the public not being slow 10 take the advantage of the privileges which go with the development stock
 North Butte has been a lively one, sales being made as nigh as s41, and then receding back to S37. Since then the stock has again advanced, sales being made today at s39.
 Denn-ArIzona is in demand at s10.50, but people are not falling over one another to sell at this price. During the week few sales have been made at S11.50, but the stock is scarce at this price.
 American does not seem to advance much with its bid price. there being a good demand for it at s13. but none to be had under S14.
 Warren shows no change; plenty to be had at s11, with the best bid d $10.50. ChiriCahua Development is quiet at s13 asked.
 Manhattan holds at s7.5O, with none coming out under S7.25.
 Sales in Back Mountain were made at S4.1j, with bids of S4.05 failing 1o bring cut any stock.

A feature of the week among those who take interest in mining proposi- tions has been the avidity with which the chance to subscribe 10 the pur- chase price of the lost mine property in lower Arizpe. now organized under the name of the San Francisco Mining Co.,. has been availed of.
 Since opening the list the first of the week Pritchar5 & Hagen have re, ceived above s12.00O in stock sub scriptions from Bisbee people alone a fact demonstrating that there is 10 lack of money around the town for investment in propositions that have a good look.
 The amount of money now subscrib- cd practically assures that the s30.- coo which is needed will be in hand within the short time that is left open in the subscription call. Those who come in on this subscription call m der the plan made get their money back from the first shipments from the mine. thus practically getting their stock for the small interest that their money might earn if it were otherwise engaged. That the mine will earn the price of purchase within exceed ingly short time is confidently assert ed. Shelter returns made from ship ments and assays as below given furE- ish pretty conclusive substantiation of claims of the kind put forth.
 Ore buyers returns on the last ship ments of ore from the San Francisco mine:
 lot Nh 1-C;1vo- 1o5 o,,-,or -,o- ton; gold, : ounces per ton. Total val ue. s127.60.
 Lot No. 2-silver, 261O.; gold, 1i.5. Total, s1,s03.S9.
 Lot No. 8-silver, 1742.; gold, 9.1. Total s11O450.
 Lot No. 4-Slver, 14G3.; gold, 19. Total, s1,257SO.
 Assay samples:
 No. 1-gold. 14S9 (s3O5.9D; silver. 15S.41 Cs91.S7); lead, 16.50 per cent; copper, 3.25 per cent. Total. s421.GS.

 No. S-Gold, .15; silver. 6S.5O; lead. 50.35 per cert; copper, 7.1S per cent. Total, s1O615.
 The ore buyers returns are addition al to deducting for freight. s20 per ton; s10 for treatment; per cent duty, and his own commission charges. The records at Hermosillo show that from seven tons of ore shipped from the property by the Mexican operator this year he received S7,664.S0.
 The assays as given above are from general run of the veins on the ground and tell a convincing story of a rich property developed to the stage of a shipper, and therefore making what may be termed with propriety in min ing parlance, "a poor mans bonanza" l"
