<, tain Burns has realized it to an eX- tent that has been quite liberal. but he is not yet through. The real dyed in the wool prospector never gets through.
 Cpatain Burns recalls some old time associations that bring to mind the fact that not few good men have got their start to millions in Cochise county. One of these is E. l.. Doheney Los Angeles oil king. Doheney and Burns were side partners for some years in the Chiricahuas and went through a lot of interesting experi- ences down there. Doheney is given by Burns the reputation of being one Of the most fearless and coolest of men he has ever met in his varied experience. He had lots of nerve tests put to him in the early days in the Chiricahuas, when there were more or less bad men and worse h. dians to contend with in that remote quarter. Doheney finally pulled out of the Chiricahuas and landed in the Southern California oil field He went broke there. or possibly went there broke. At any rate he was on the ragged edge when he managed to interest the Santa Fe in what has since become the Fullerton oil field. The production of wells that Doheney opened there put him on his feet and made fortune for him. He has since added extensively to this It would be a singular coincidence should Captain Burns make a fortune in oil in his New Mexico venture.

 Mining Engineer R. B. Watson, of the shannon Mining Company, has mado an exhaustive report on the mine to the management. He finds conditions favorable The develop ment of the past few months has given satisfactory results. The mine now is in better shape than ever be- fore to supply large amount of con centrating ore. Mir. Watson believes that the company should take ad- vantage of the present high price of copper to operate the plant at full capacity. The mine can furnish all the ore the mill can treat.-Copper Era.

 Houghton. Mich, March 1.-The action of the Copper Range Consoli dated Co.,, announced on Thursday of this week, in raising wages of all employees at it's mines comes co-inci- dently with the announcement of the company's first dividend. of one dol lar per share. The increase in wages is about B per month, or between 5 and 6 per cent, and affects about 2,500 employees at the Baltic, Trimoun- tain and Champion mines. So far there have been no serious labor troubles locally this. spring, at the mines, but the spring sun is growing warmer, and the spring fever is in the air. The Osceola has just finish ed little strike, by which 125 tram mers rendered 500 men idle for about ten days. The trammers quit with out notice, and without formulating demands, and went back on the same terms as before the walkout The lines of the Houghton County Street Car Co.,, are tied up throughout the district, or, rather, cars are running irregularly, and almost without pas sengers, over part of the lines, man. ned by strike-breakers The work ingmen of the county are taking deep interest in the street-ear strike. and some attempts have been made, by the hot-headed. to use the street-car strike as a. basis for a sympathetic strike of the miners. though what effect such action could have in help ing the motormen who are out is not explained. The action of the Copper Range is a wise one. and. as the in. crease was given voluntarily, without request Of any Sort from the employ es, it is appreciated, and is better liked because coming simultaneously with the first dividend.

 A dispatch from Carson, New, says that the United States Circuit Court, in the case of Zerres vs Vinina, has decided that it is not necessary that mining claims should be recorded in order to establish title to the lands, provided the proper assessment work has been done. The case related to several claims in the Searchlight district In Nevada. The defendant owned these claims, and had perform ed all the necessary assessment work. but failed to record the entry. The plaintiff relocated the claims, and then sued for possession. The court held that when the original locater of claim performs the assessment work, and by other acts of good faith shows that he means to develop the property, he earns title to his claims, and they cannot be legally seized or relocated by another party. The de- cision was in favor of the defendant.
 Not few men have made comfort able little bank accounts in Bisbee in the last year with which to build fortunes upon, simply by pinning their faith to home stocks that they knew from acquaintance with the ground must take the upward shoot. Oppor- tunities are still present and are still being availed of. They will continue to be present for years to come. IT you have not landed yet there is no occasion for particular discourage ment. Lots of time ahead.

While the Bohemian Range may have the Baltic lode, the evidence is insuffi- cient to establish the theory, but, what is of far more importance, the shaft, now only about 75 feet in depth, shows a vigorous amygdaloid, well charged with copper, and promising, if it holds the average of values so far shown, to make mine.

 Work on the Erie-Ontario explora- tion is proceeding steadily, though under disadvantages, owing to the snow. The old Erie mine was work ed in a small way some forty years ago. but at the time was as difficult of access as a mine now is in the interior of Alaska, there being not even a wagon road from Houghton to the mine. Supplies and men were taken in and copper was taken out over a rough road cut through the forest from the mine to Misery Bay. where treacherous little harbor af- forded precarious anchorage to flat bottomed scows. in good weather.

neighborhood. There is no doubt, ir view of the way the pubic has late ly expressed itself, that the present is most opportune time to come op the market with stock backed by ground in that vicinity. American Development will be snapped up very quickly, if past history goes for anything.
 The increase in stock of course means that with it's sale American-De- velopment will commence work. Drill holes will probably be sunk first and shaft located according to the find ings made. This activity can com mence none too soon for the best in- terests of the camp. Proving up of American-Development ground will be worth millions to the country below, as well as worth millions to Ameri- canDevelopment.

 American-Developme is a Bonan- ga Circle crowd venture. It is there fore only natural that the rumor should be abroad that the develop ment work step said to be at hand is hastened by the fact that with prompt action down there the ground might be got in shape to enter the proposed consolidation of Bonanza Circle prop critics before the plans for consuma- tion of the step are likely to be fin ished. Acknowledgment is very nicely situated to keep quiet in it's berth until Saginaw. Denn-Arizona and Junction prove its ground. Pos sibly they have already done this. Possibly. there are conditions which make it economy to proceed at once with individual research.

 The comment of Iron Ore last week on consolidation has been thought by some here to contain a pretty strong intimation that there are more ways of making a mule travel the right road than one. It is remarked that the consolidation talk of the paper. which represents the views of those in Michigan who favor consolidation. puts stress on the statement that Bo- nanZa stocks are inactive and inclin- ! ad to slump because of uncertainty ! about consolidation and then proceeds | -o say that this uncertainty may con

us another copper boom" similar to the one that immediately preceded the formation of the Amalgamated compa- ny. It is known that New York inter ests bought a considerable line of cop pers in the Boston market six months or more ago. The coppers taken then have never been sold. It may be that they are still held by Amalgamated interests.
 There is no speculative opportunity presented in any other market in the world that compares with what Bos- ton has to offer in its coppers. No other line of industry has experienced such an enormous increase in profits, and none other is represented by such a financially-strong list of companies as the copper producers. There is no over-supply of stocks, no new securi- ties worth mentioning having come upon the market for years. There is sure to be an awakening in the cop per shares, and the greatest gathers will be those who have the confidence and the courage to buy coppers HOW, before the more general buying move ment gets fairly underway.

the Calumet & Hecla. This company has bought considerable tracts of mineral lands south of it's mines. in Houghton county, during the past few years, and it is understood to have an option upon the Tecumseh at present, which, may or may not be exercised, though from the fact that the Calumet & Hecla owns the Metal line and Dover. adjoining, the Tecum- sch would seem desirable. to round out the tract. What might be done in the way of making new mines in Keeweenaw county. under a manage ment as resourceful and powerful as the Calumet & Hecla, affords an in- teresting opening for conjecture The early mines of that county all open ed on Assure veins, and no attempt was made at mining the stratified beds in early days. The Amygdaloid Mining Company was organized to open amygdaloid beds. but the man. agement decided later that the at tempt was too risky, and opened an unsuccessful mine upon a Assure.

Although the Arnold did not prove a success, and has been idle for several years. the amount of mining done in KeBeenaw county has increased steadily, from year to year. and at present several properties are in operation. Of these the Mohawk. a large producer. is earning good profits, the Allouez is opening with fine prospects. and. the Ahmeek is a small producer from rock broken in drft-stopes during the development of the mine. The Phoenix also is a small producer, being the only mine ia the district now working Assures. Among the prospects the Miskwabik

 Shaft No 21, the Calumet 6 Hecla's third shaft on the Kearsage lode. cut the amygdaloid late last week, and the showing is said to be satis- factory. There is a tendency. on the part of some observers, to doubt that all of the mines said to be opened on the Kearsage really are bottomed in that bed. As a matter of fact the Kearsage, like the other master amyg- daloids of the district. has it's twin bed. which shows a fairly close re- semblance, except in carrying small CT values. The Isle RoyaIe lode has it's twin in the Portage, the Baltic lode is one of triplets and the Pewa- bic lode has it's twin in the Quincy. Despite the vast amount of efficient exploratory work done during the past sixty years, far greater amount Of such work remains to be done. even in the developed portions of the country.
 In a cross-section of three to six miles, the width varying according to the dip of the strata, there are about 200 amygdaloid and 20 to 30 con- glomerates, any one of which may prove to contain copper in payable quantities at some point along it's strike, or at some depth upon it's dip. Notwithstanding the comparative narrowness of the Keweenawan cop per bearing series, and the vast amount of work done in actual mining and by exploration, no complete geo logical cross-section has been obtain cd yet. There is ample opportunity. both Nin the Calumet and Portage Lake sections, for vigorous explora- tory work for decades to come. and when all has been learned that is worth knowing about these two lit tie fields. now the principal source of copper supply of the Lake district. there will remain several hundred miles of the extension of the forma-

 Captain Burns is modest and un- assuming gentleman. To get the story of the trials and tribulations, the long. hard struggle of the pros pector in the new field. whither his faith was followed by little human company and that, in the early days of need at least, of fleeting kind, would not be a feasible undertaking not if the captain had a notion it was going to be printed and not at all ex- cept in an off hand way. But all the trials incident to the career of the prospector, Captain Burns has been through. He knows by heart every footprint along the way, and he has not forgotten, that there are others still travelling the road. For these he has the helping hand and warm heart.

 Captain Burns is now interested in oil in New Mexico. That is he hopes he will soon have the oil There is little showing at hand in the way of live seepage and as soon as drills can be put at work more will be learn ed about what there is underground The turn to oil has been made by the captain because he belongs to the active branch of humanity-the branch that does things and is rest less and uncomfortable unless engag- ed in doing them. The captain might have millions upon millions in ready cash and yet not have peace without active employment in developing the riches the bowels of the earth hold for man. To bring to the use of the people the hidden wealth of the land is the true prospector's dream. Cap

of the law of supply and demand The advance of prices during the past IS months, has added billions to the as- sets or investors and spectators. Cop per share holders alone are s15O.OOO. 900 better off than they were at the low price of 1893. Dividends have greatly increased and business of nearly all kinds has been highly pros porous. All this has tended to great ly increase the demand for specula- tive and investment securities. The volume of securities, however, has re- mained almost stationary throughout this period, practically no new issues having been put on the market. It stands to reason, therefore, that ad- Yancing prices are likely to be the rule until the promoter again enters the field and supplies the growing pub lie appetite. The public is clearly being treasured by the tremendous activity and strength of the New York list, and, because of the relatively low range of prices, a great deal of the public money is sure to be put into copper stocks.

FOUND IN DYING CONDITION
Mr.. James Mitchell Dies of Paralysis
Saturday. Was at His Post of
Duty When Stricken.

When Superintendent Haigler of the
Farmers Oil and Fertilizer Company
went to the mill Saturday morning at
about day he found Mr.. James Mitch
ell, night Waterman for the company,
lying Unconscious on the yard. He
at once removed the PROSTATE man
inside the mill where he died in a few
minutes. One of Mr.. Mitchells duties
was to make a trip of inspection
around the yards every hour, the COM
pany having a watchman's clock to
insure the fidelity of the man on night
vigil. This clock showed that Mr..
Mitchell had punched with five of the
six keys between seven and eight
O'Clock and his PROSTATE body being
found under the sixth key it is infer
red that he had lain in an unconscious
condition since eight o'clock, as this
was the time he should have used the
sixth key.
The cause of Mr.. Mitchell's death
was paralysis. He had a severe
stroke of the disease last year and
never fully recovered from its effects.
The remains we're inferred at Chica-
sawhatchee Primitive Baptist Church
Sunday morning, Rev, o. F. Cook

Mr.. Mitchell was 81 years of age,
and esteemed by all who knew
him. He leaves wife and several
grown sons and daughters to mourn
his loss and to these, sincere sympa-
