BUFFALO BILLS SHOW.
Unique Amusement Enterprises Was
 Started 29 Years Ago.

I. Newton Greene in Success Magazine"
 Buffalo Bill" conceived the idea of his Wild West show twenty nine years ago, according to the recollection of Frank P. Brewer, sheriff of Snohomism county. Washington. who. in 1875, was cowboy employed by an outfit" along the Platte river and knew the famous plainsman. In an interview Sheriff Brewer tells, as follows, how Colonel Cody started his typically American attraction:
 q became acquainted with Buffalo BIT when he was employed by the govern ment as scout at old Fort McPherson. Cody saw much active life on the plains, and during a long and eventful career. rendered his country many valuable services: but he became weary of the life and put an end to it by establishing his ranch, Scouts Rest on the North Platte. where he settled down to the then lucrative vocation of raising cattle.
 Living in the vicinity of Scouts Rest, I quite naturally became better acquainted with its owner and his fam fly, with whom I spent many pleasant days under their hospital roof. Long life on the plains in the Indian service IS not. on the whole, conducive to life of peace and quietude. Cody began to grow
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-06-04

restless. He did not wish to re-enter the service, though the government would gladly have welcomed him back in the cavalry saddle, but he did long for q life of more activity than befals the average stockman.
 "Frequently, in our gatherings we in- dulged in thoughts of the life we should like to lead. During one of these talks Cody suggested that a fortune awaited the man who should take a portion of the wild west, in which ha lived. to the stald east for the edihcation of the ten derfeet and he immediately followed up his thought by collecting such western curios as he believed would create in- terest among customers. We all aided the scout in getting together his first Wild West show, which was very much in the rough and a long way from the finished article which delights the world today. As well as I can remember. Cody went to Chicago with a small herd of trained elk. a few COW punchers all experts in throwing the rope and break ing bronchos--Mi Annie Oakley, the rifle shot, and himself in the role of a rifle and six-shooter wonder Some time later the government permitted him 70 annex Indians to his show
 His venture almost immediately took the public by storm. Buffalo Bill was popular man among plainsmen and soldiers. He is very staunch friend in time of need with his purse always open to those requiring his assistance"

GENERAL STRIKE
 IN THE COPPER
 COUNTRY MINES
THAT SUCH WILL BE COME EFFECTIVE ON
 MAY i. .
Four Mines Shut Down--AII Eyes on Calumet & Heela--Miners Ask 10 Per Cent Advance and Annuliment of Contract Work.
(special to Review.l

Calumet April 1.-The Copper Country is excited about the fact that it is claimed that general strike in all the mines here is impending. The inclination is to say as little as need be about the situation. Four compa- nies are now stopped, and all eyes are on the big C. & H. It is assumed the general strike call will occur May 1. unless the companies announce a gen eral advance of 10 per cent before i then.
 Strikes in the local mines provide largely an unknown feature, but the general feeling is that with 15c cop per the companies can very readily give the boys under ground a fair di- i vide. Wages here are low compared to Bisbee. Machine men get only $65 per month, so ten per cent per month increase does not appear unrea- sonable. The miners also demand the exclusion of contract work, which puts hardship on many. There are some who make $40 month by that system.
 Bisbee stocks are all o. K. The knock down tendency is no doubt oc- casioned by Duluth holders drawing out funds to invest in North Butte. now about s21. The big Keeweenaw Cop per Co. stock is practically oversuD- scribed.<
 The street car strike still sticks hard and fast. Scab trainmen run the cars. but no one rides in them. and the people are standing firmly by the strikers
 Navigation on the Great Lakes opens on Monday next. and an immense ton mage of iron ore and copper will then be moved.

New York Stocks.

(By Private Wire to Frank J. Graf Broker, Copper Queen Hotel Building)
 New York. April 1.-The stock mar ket opened strong on better tone and higher quotations from London, but immediately after the opening weak ened and thereafter throughout the session was irregular and generally weak. Illinois Central was the brill. iant exception, showing a net gain of six dollars a share from last night s close. There was no news to speak of, but there seems to be profit taking on T large scale in some of the spe- cialties that have been worked up through manipulation in the last few weeks.
 Conditions are very favorable, and the business outlook was never better, but we think the advancing tendency in the stock market has been over worked, and we would not be surprised to see somewhat lower prices result.

BONANZA CIRCLE
 STILL WEAK WITH
 EXCEPTION JUNCTION
eEsT BID FOR CALUMET 6 ARIzo.
 MA WAS S1o5.
Pittsburg 6 Duluth Has Gone Begging. Junction Was Sought After From All Quarters-North Butte Is Quoted at $21.00.
tBy Frank J. Graf.)


 We promised to let you know the re- suit of the meeting of the directors of the Bonanza Circle held at Calumet. ,.iich., yesterday. We understand that in the regular routine of business the election of a board of directors took place. We have no reason to doubt for a moment but what the same board WAS reelected, and do not see how a better one could be chosen. We do not know that there was not a change, but we are safe in saying that there was none.
 The entire market of the Bonanza Circle stock has shown continued weakness for some time, and still con. tinues with the exception of Junction. Calumet xG Arizona had been offered on the market at S1G5, but the best bid we received today was $iO4. Calu' met & Pittsburg held firm at S35 bid, while l.. $. & P. was being sold at s42.5O. Pittsburg & Duluth was the weakest stock on the board. We were unable to get bid on this stock dur ing the entire day. and much had been offered for sale with no buyers. Junction has been sought after during the day from all quarters. Many think that this is about the right time to buy, the bid being raised from $Si to SSG, but this did not bring out any at all; we raised the bid to SSS, and got some at that figure. Manhattan is in demand at $9.50, and few sales were made at s10. North Butte stands at S21 bid. This stock has become the favorite among the different stock fer the present, and expect to see a great deal of trading done with it, al though the call of $500 per share mat is to be paid on the 5th of next month might have tendency to keep the price down, we advise the purchase of this stock between now and that time, for after the 18th of May we do not ex- pect to see any cheap North Butte afloat Denn-Arizona is in good de mand at $S.75 to $500.
