London has been a heavy buyer of our securities in consequence of the strong financial position here, and it is said that the recent foreign invest ment in American securities was at a rate never known before.
 There mas been a considerable divi- sion of sentiment in Wall Street. The inside powers seem to have been bull ish, while the big professional opera

 Superintendent Parnall, of the c. & A.. has been in Tucson this week in attendance upon the trial of a mining case in the United States Land Of iice.
 It has been announced that the gen eral offices of the c. & A. Mining com pany are shortly to be moved from the mine to a location on. the Junction ground in the neighborhood of Humph- lrey's boarding house at Lowell. The present quarters of the office force are crowded and the space occupied by the office buildings is needed for mining purposes. The c. & A. has long reached the point where an adequate office building is no longer a luxury but a necessity and the building to be erected at Lowell will be commodious and up to date in every particular. i It is reported that Jack Hoatson, for merly superintendent of the Calumet & Pittsburg. will shortly return to Bisbee and again resume his position with the Bonanza Circle.

 l Thurston, mining machinery man, re- ported sale to the Copper Queen smell ter of ten more converter stands. That means the doubling up of the Copper Queen shelter capacity ~CopperQueen people do not have equipment around that they do not use. They keep noth- ing for ornamental purposes about their works. Consequently the addi- tion of these new converters means | that their shelter will be producing toward the end of the year just about double what it is producing now. That is. instead of turning out about 16O tons of copper daily it will be turning out at least 300 tons daily. ]. :: ].
 As pointed out in the Review on sev- eral recent occasions Arizona is now undoubtedly at the head of the list as copper producer in the United States. This change at the Copper Queen shelter is sufficient in itself to put the territory beyond the reach of any of them in the fiscal year of l9O5-0G.

make the dividends.

 The Houghton people have been an exception to the rule in the matter of this tunnel running, for without any roaring or kicking the principal ones behind it have come up steadily with the money to continue operations and make the thing stick if such is possi- ble. They have demonstrated purpose to stay with it to the end, regardless
 Their kind seldom fail to make mines. The Wolverine afforded an opposite exhibition and but for the pluck and determination of a few would have gone under a few months ago. The few. pulled it onto it's feet and have 1t today in better financial and physical condition than it ever knew before in it's history. The Wolverine is a sound proposition today-sound as a gold dollar.
 That this property should not make a mine at depth does not seem possi- ole. That 1t will get good ore show Ing in the next hundred or so of feet Tn the drift that is running now seems a certainty. The change in the forma- tion for the better continues steadily, just as it has done for the last month or more. With capture of the ore in the drift the company will be in shape to go to depth that it must make in the very nature of things to get among the dividend payers. It will get there Tn the next couple of years, maybe less, unless every sign fails. Since Its financial rejuvenation recently there IS no shadow of a doubt about its physical success among those who 6now the ground. Therefore the presence on the market once more of Wolverine & Arizona as an active stock. It does not loom up Junction style, but it will be travelling along that way before long if the people who ought to know what they are talking about are correct in their opinions.
 Junction certainly does not look worth the figure it is at to the out sider, but. like American Development, there may be some things behind the scenery that the public is not rubbing paint from. That Junction should be worth as much as c. & A., even through the chance of reorganization IS ahead, does not appear at all req 3oEable to the layman. Nor does it appear reasonable that it should at this time lead c. & P. or L. $. & P., both on the threshold of great produc- tion. It does. just the same, and its stock in demand. with everybody in possession of what they have. So the outsiders ought to be entirely sat isfied and without kick coming or speculation wasted as to why the oth. CT fellow is at peace with his invest ,ment.
 The next thirty days will decide the fate of the Higgins Development company At this writing the indi- cations are that it will pass out of existence. About three hundred feet of ground remains to be gone through in the tunnel which will decide the itale-to be or not to be. The Review learns that shut down was being seriously considered in the east for the 18th of the present month. and that local directors were so notified by wire. Heavy stockholders here de-

needed in the way of machinery to re- place that damaged by the flood. He found that repairs were in order but nothing doing in the way of new ma ichinery.
 Messrs. Cox and Champagne, who own the California group in Montezu. ma canyon, were in town the last week with some very fine specimens of ore which they got in tunnel being run on assessment work. Copper and sill. yer show strong in the ore with some lgold on the side.

 It is expected that the first of this week will bring some of the Mitchell Development people to the camp from Michigan. They will be here to en- ter into new contracts with the ground owners and to arrange for the imme- diate resumption of development which they propose. The ground ows- CTS are ready to receive them and to do whatever may look like the right thing
 Bisbee ore does not all have it's hab- itation at great depth, though the large bodies do. Feeders followed from these run right up to the surface Tn some instances. An example is furnished by the fact that rich ore is now being got out from a level 50 feet below the Copper Queen hospital build. ing. while not far away men are work, ing within IS feet of the surface. .s # r
 C. NJ. Henkel had some more good news this last week from the mining property he is interested in between Paradise and the Gold Nugget in the Chiricahuas. A tunnel they are driv. Ing out there has come into another very promising body of high grade copper and gold ore. MT. Henkel has not had assays completed of samples sent in but returns are certain to be large enough to keep up the very nigh encouragement that the property has been giving it's operators. The latter will very shortly be on the way to or. ganization as stock company, it is understood.
 As stock floating town, provided the floaters have any thing of value to show up in the way of ground, Bis bee is not to be beat. The actual amount of money put into mining en- terprises by Bisbee people in general in the course of every month, if it could be totaled accurately, would af- ford most people a big surprise.
 Prof. Wm. Nivens, with two mining engineers, Messrs. Chippendale and Miller, have gone to the river Balsas Tn the state of Gurrero. whence they will go to the placer mines on the Rio del Orc near Coyuca de Catalan in that state. They will go down the Balsas river in rafts being built by California placer miners who will ac- company the expedition.

lup with the exclamation, Sure. they nave ore all the way down in the old shaft" So they did. Some of it was pretty good ore. too.
 < + <
 In the new shaft there has also been ore scattered along on the downward trip. It was not with the shaft all the way. strictly speaking, but it has slipped in at several points in very nice shape. Some of it has looked better than 20 per cent stuff. The opinion is that the ore body is not very far away in the shaft. The ground being broken has a very good look. It has been the opinion all along that the ore body would be got at a lesser depth than has been ne- cessary further back on the rise Denn- Arizona drill in the gulch next to the shaft of the Saginaw has taken noth- ing away from this opinion.
 Saginaw drill is operating on the flat 100 feet below the collar of the shaft This drill is in the gulch next to that in which the Denn-Arizona drill is going down. Saginaw people have said nothing about what their drill is finding but it is known that 1t is not meeting with anything of a discouraging character. On the con trary what it has found, together with the shape the shaft is in, makes one rather feel that bunch of Saginaw stock would be real nice to have.
 Success of the Saginaw would i'm mediately put American Develop ment on its feet So would good strike at the Houghton, between which properties American De velopment lays. Not long ago American Development friends made a kick about slow pro- gross at. the Saginaw. At that time it was shown that Saginaw was making a little better headway than most other developing properties in the district. Since then American De velopment has reported a phenomenal price as a starter for it's stock; S75 is claimed as the figure at which a block changed hands, the first let slip through the hands of the original in corporators.
 That American Development should be in any such demand or negotiate any such figure does not look at all reasonable to the outsider. That is not to say, however. that it may not nave changed hands for the figure in perfectly legitimate way and been considered a good buy at the price. But the buyer must have had an inside nunch on the situation that the gen. eral public is not connected with in any way and would come to belief ID only on the presentation of a list of coid-blooded facts.

 If American Development is good. there is a whole lot of ground about and below it that cannot escape com ing in for like consideration. And If it does the next boom is as5uredly down the way of the Houghton, Pitts burg &, Hecla, Glance and some more Of those that have not had a great deal of favor in the last year or so at the hands of the public. Several peo- pie have already sized the situation up as assuring this very thing in the course of a year or two more and nave proceeded accordingly to gather

IL is reported that the Black Noun tain, the Bonanza Circle crowds gold property in Mexico, is still cutting the s25 to $30 ore that came in several weeks ago and that it looks as if there would be enough of the rich stuff to put the average of the entire output of the property a great deal higher than it was expected to go at any time in the beginning of operations on the property.
 The 100 stamps to go to the mill will commence dropping early in the fall and the way things are now going the management expects that it will then be ready to place an order for the mediate delivery of 100 stamps more. There is considerable Black Mountain stock held in Bisbee and the holders have right in the light of recent news from the property to extend congratu- lations to themselves once more for sticking with the Bonanza crowd.
 The Shattuck continues getting into
 
 better looking ground in its shaft very steadily and satisfactorily. As for the last couple of weeks the iron in the shaft continues to show traces of copper. That the ore body of the ground will come in within the next 100 feet at the most is still confidently felt by all conversant with the situa- ton at the property.
 There is practically no Shattuck & Arizona stock on the market. if any at all. 4 friend with a bunch might make you a nice present by letting you buy a little piece, but there are not many of that kind of friends around. There are lot of people who wish it were different and that they could get hold of some of the stock. If the latter does corpe on the market it will go faster than the proverbial hot cakes. Nothing in the district has a better look to the people ac- quainted with the lay of the land than does Shattuck & Arizona.
 .s -s {.
 Denn-Arizona is of course looked up on with much favor, as its price and the eagerness with which its stock is sought testify very abundantly, but il IS not the gilt-edged locker that Shaf' tuck & Arizona has been from the very start. Denn-AriZona is 6 good thing as a mining venture. The find ings that are said to have been made Tn the drill holes, on the strength Of which the company is now about ready to begin a shaft, if correctly reported. make :t very much more than a good venture.
 In fact these findings make it a prospect of the very best kind. Ger tainly there are people who look on the other side of the Bonanza's with some doubt, but there are whole lot who think that the next year will prove the ground of that new territory way up stuff The Saginaw is mak- ing exceedingly satisfactory headway toward the end of bringing this proof.

Tn loose chunks of ground down that way which they will keep on t:e wait ing list while Saginaw. Houghton and Pittsburg & Hecla, and possibly Amer lean Development, go ahead with de- yelopment
 American Development is generally put up as having come in on exactly the same sort of proposition when it organized year or so ago. Now 1t is said that development about it, which means the showing on Saginaw and at the Houghton. has given Am 'erican Development what it was wait ing for-proof that its ground has ex- 'cellent prospects. So, it is said, there may be another diamond drill and perhaps shaft going very short iy down in the dip away from the Saginaw and the Denn-Arizona ground. Such outcome would be very satisfactory to everybody and would do a whole lot toward lifting the veil from the character of the ground that to the present time has appeared Ito most of the old timers as a trifle hazy. But of course the old timers do not always hit it right It they did all of them in this camp would today be in shape to run red automobiles, wear broadcloth, smoke $1 cheroots and foot dinner bills with Col Greene and Johnnie Gates.
 The camp has given them all a chance to get on such financial basis in the last fifteen years.
 Now about the Houghton. They have not yet got to the iron blowout on the surface that they are heading their tunnel to with expectation of catching it at about 400 feet depth. 1t is expected that it will be coming in pretty speedily. Meantime they nave considerable lead, silver and gold ore in the tunnel, but it is said it is not there in sufficient quantity to be pro titable. When the tunnel strikes the iron, it will probably show up copper and gold values plenty strong enough to enable the company to get what ever capital it needs to sink with and make a mine Presumably that is the idea with which the tunnel was started, else a shaft would have gone to depth from the start and there would have been drifting from the bottom instead of the top.
 There are a couple of ways of look Ing at this kind of mining. It is the cheap way for the initial plunge. but ;he dear way almost invariably, par. ticularly in this district, in the long run. Experience has shown that pos itive results, making a mine, can be had only with the attainment of the real goods in way of depth. While the tunnel run in to tap this or that surface showing four or five hundred feet from the surface may bring the goods in sufficient packages to put the to do what they have then found to be absolutely necessary to make mine, ie. sink to depth, it may not. Whether It does or not there is money to be talk en to sink. and there is declaration immediately by the stockholders that money has been wasted in the surface drifting. That hoids good with the stockholder whether the drift is sue faccf,11 Or nOt Either Uav ha nuts its running down as an extravaganza, for his sinking is yet to be done to

GUESSING THE CROP.

The guessers have guessed, and
like all other guessers they disagree.
The cotton producers association
says that the reduction in cotton
acreage has been fully IS per cent
from the acreage of 1904, which was
something less than thirty-two mil
lion acres. The New York Finan-
ciai Chronicle puts the reduction at
II per cent, while the New York
Journal of Commerce says the area
devoted to cotton has been reduced
to 1913 per cent. The Agricultural
Department files a guess of all cotton
planting up to May %, and it est,
mates the reduction at ia per cent,
thus bringing the cotton acres on pa
per down to IS, 100, 900.
Alabama's reduction, according tC
the Agricultural Department., is the
smallest of all-only 8 per cent.
while the reductions in Mississippi
and Texas are II per cent; in Louis
A~AAt Az SEA1 oAO ]AAA1A
Is pSr cent. The average condition
Of tbs crop h stated by the Agricul-
taral Department to be but 77.2-the
loweS modern record at a cores
ponding date save the n in 1908
But the condition of the crop in Ala
bama is put at 81, which exceeds the
ten-year average.
Beyond all doubt the crop is IN
fine condition in this state, and it
covers a great many acres. Present
indications point to a crop in this
state as large as the state crop of last
year, but present indications I by
no means trustworthy. Cotton has a
long way to 60 yet.

CLOTHES OF THE PERIOD.

A great change of revolution is oc-
curing in "eur hupper suckles," and
in this bdsy district there are no
doubt now and. then men who do not
know 10. It relates to man alone
and 10 his clothes. The Haber dasller
an mquestioned authority in matters
relating to clothes for the masculine
seq says that 'slounge dress'' h IS put
formal clothes in a subordinate and
carcelyrecognized position "Lounge
dress''means more days in the country
and therefore fewer in town. Life in
the country is vogue at present, the
more of it the better. A 'tsmart we'd
ding" says the esteemed Haber-
dssher, "may render a run up to town
necessary, but asidefrom this multi
is worn from March to December"
From March to December the man
of fachion or leisure is to consult
comfort in dress, while from December
to March he is to wear comfortless
clothes. The "hupper suckles' are
expected hereafter to loaf and in
vite whatever souls they mayhappen
to possess.
It Is difficult to define lounge dress
accurately, for it refu g to be de-
fined. It includes shirt sleeves. 1t is
informality carried to the limit. 1t
is in short, a flannel shirt on allpos-
sible occasions, except, of course,
the smart wedding in town, which
as a rule,t the men shirk. Bridegroom
will go but all other members of the
sex will invent an excuse whilt
lounge dress is permissible, or from
March to December.

TREASURY DEFICIT.

Secretary Shaw expected 6 months
ago-even 8 months ago-that the
month of May would yield a surplus
to go into the federal treasury, but
instead it PANIED u d deficit
amour ing to 50, $50, 122 Mays de-
felt, wren added to that of the pre-
vious ten months, brings the total
deficit of the fiscal year up to $780,
649, $50. What the last and remain
ing month Of the fiscal year will do
remains to be seen.
Secretary Shaw is pinning his
hopes to the present month of June.
The receipts of June, 1904, exceeded
the expenditures by over eleven
million dollars, and a like result
would reduce this years deficit to
about twenty seven million dollars.
But the present June will not do as
we'll as the June of last year did.
Che country is not as prosperous as
+ was one year ago, and the last
on res5 INDUCED in a great deal of
.xtravagance.
| About the best that can reasonably
re expected is a surplus Of five mil
/ ion dollars during the present
Month, thus leaving at the end of the
fiscal year ending June 80 a deficit
of thirty one million dollars, or about
twice as much as Mr.. Shaw predicted
a year ago.
The entire trouble does not relate
to receipts, but to Expenditures. The
navy has absorbed fifteen millions
more than it did in 1904; the army,
eight millions more; the Indians,
nearly four millions more, and the
civil and miscellaneous account about
nine and a half millions more. The
pension payments were not material
w increased. There must, in other
words, be retrenchment in eXpendi'
lures, or else more revenue clauses
must be inserted in the Dlngley bill
The problem Will appear in fui
strength when Congress meets il
November or December.
