and those who buy judiciously on current reactions are not likely to find cause for regret.
 Amalgamated is working higher, and the public is again buying it. Since the Lawson raid, this stock has been very closely held, and it is only within a week or two that it's redis- tribution has been apparent. The pub lie interest is still relatively small, and, with copper conditions as favora- ble as they are now, Amalgamated stock may again become a leading speculative feature and sell much higher. It certainly has great trading possibilities; but when viewed from an investment standpoint it seems high now.

Boston, March 4.-George Walker says in the Commercial:-Lake cop per is selling at 15 1-2 cents and electrolytic at 15 1-4 to Is 3-8 cents per pound. While prices have not really advanced within a week, the tone of the market has grown decid- edly firmer There is now no Lake copper obtainable below the price quoted, and consumers say that great difficulty is experienced in obtaining the metal in large lots for immediate delivery. Business is understood to have been done recently for delivery in May at 15 1-2 cents per pound.
 Exports to European countries have been showing a slight falling off dur ing the past two or three weeks.

side of the question. You are doubt less aware of the published opinions and desires of Mir. Cole and his Du- luth associates on this, matter. Their action is said to have lessened their prestige in this camp.
 There is some talk just now of new ore strikes in the P. & D. which have not as yet been officially announced here.
 One feature of this weeks market which was surprising was the fact that l.. s. & P. was sold by various holders here and the only reason given for this was the fact that tra- ders claim l.. s. & P. would be unfair ly dealt with under the consolidation plan as proposed.
 Wolverine & Arizona is again com ing into public notice and the feeling is that activity should shortly be look ed for in this stock.
 There is talk, too, about the old Calumet & Cochise-a report here cur rent asserting that holders in the old company will be given a share in the new organization in preference to the general public. No one seems to know about the new company, how ever, so the talk is probably little bit early.
 Today we are treated to the sight of real live strike in the Copper Country, the street car employees having walked out last night and to- day imported car handlers are having a lively time of it and cars are being smashed at a lively rate and consider able gun play is in evidence but with out serious results.

off consistent expense for the sake of piling up present profit. They want the individual properties explored underground individually and thor oughly and when that is done if it can be shown to be to the advantage of the properties to consolidate they will probably have time then in which to deliberate on such a matter. In other words, if they have gotten hold of a good thing they do not incline to part with it easily but prefer to look the thing over thoroughly themselves be. fore thinking to pass it on to their friends.
 One director here is credited with having said that despite all the pig talk that has been expended on the subject, nothing will be done in the matter for at least two years. This Bisbee thing is good and they are con tent to enjoy it a few years first be- fore risking any chance of being jost- led out of it. In fact, consolidation talk as it now stands here is being quite thoroughly ignored. Bonanza holders are as thick here as icicles and one can not walk up the street with out hearing consolidation condemned. Local brokers say that if the consoli- dation talk was sprung upon the peo- pie for the purpose of invigorating the curb market it has fallen far short of it's purpose, and has had de cidedly the opposite effect. They say that many investors now refuse to take hold of Bonanzas for fear that they may get the worst of it, should the probable voting strength on either consolidation happen to go through.

 If these two things can be relegated to the past, there seems nothing to re- tard an old-fashioned bull campaign, with the consummation of peace be- tween Russia and Japan, especially as money rates continue to be cheap and other factors of importance have ranged themselves on the side of the constructionists.
 Evidence which comes from the in- side from time to time, shows contin- ued bullishness, and there are prepar- lations for a good market toward the middle of March. Let us hope the Street will not again be disappointed.

 However. Basin or no Basin, the management of the Bonanzas know very well that the way to handle the water is to pump it out and this they can be depended upon to do with all due promptness.
 All this crossfire and talk or bro- kers in duly boosting one or more of the Circle properties is a matter all by itself but without a doubt it must be conceded-when Bisbee Basin is talked about-that the Calumet and Pittsburg property does occupy a very enyiable position within that area and it is also assured that when the c. & P. does get the water lowered as they surely will-they will open out vast amount of ground which judging by all the past history of de- yelopment work within the camp and as far as human intelligence can dis cern-will in all probability display ore deposits of character and extent which will once again attract the ad- miring and united gaze of all the world of mining to this phenomenal camp--the wonder of two decades.
 We all like to hurry towards a good thing, but all the stock boosting that ever was done never lifted as much ore as an Armstrong" hoist and if we want to know the facts about c. & P. we will require to consistently and patiently wait till our friend the man with the pick" has done his duty.

 Copper producing and selling inter- ests are agreed that the price of cop per is high enough, and nothing is be- ing done to hold up or advance quota tions. While it is felt to be for the best interests of the trade to prevent a further advance, however, it is re- alized that a sudden increase in the buying demand from any source will force prices higher.
 The public has taken hold of the coppers in earnest this week, and prices have generally scored good gains. It seems to be realized at last that in view of the strength of the metal situation and the well

 This rate bill disturbance was not feared by the real insiders of Wall Street but, so far as the semi-profes- sionals were concerned, it proved a constant deterrent in regard to engag- ing in extensive commitments on the long side.

 Another week of Consolidation talk serves to make more prominent the antagonism of the Michigan holders to the proposed punching of the Bo- nanza Circle properties into one. They say it is altogether too soon for any such merging and that as far as savings should result from any such plan, they feel that the present management practically as one can not well be improved on and they are in no sense anxious to skimp and trim

Calumet, Mich, Feb. 25. 1905
 Looking at the Bonanza Circle proposition in a general way it must be admitted that the water question now so prominent in the c. & P. is a matter which will probably prove of great concern to the management of that fine group of properties.
 IL IS now two years since water first interfered seriously with devel- opment progress in the c. & P. and those who have a fair conception of conditions as they exist in so-called Bisbee Basin are ready to admit that there is fairly good prospect of this same water question yet proving a stuPendously expensive and at the same time very vexatious question apt to involve all properties in the charmed circle and call into play all the professional skill and engineering ability which the Bonanza managers are acknowledged to possess.
 In speaking of the c. & P. water it is usual to assert that very soon now" or in some such indefinite pc riod the troubles will be over with and with the pumps working in two or three or the properties the water will soon be permanently lowered in the Bisbee Basin.
 It is always well to look on the bright side of things but at the same time it is essential that important matters be viewed seriously and con sidered well in advance if it is at all possible to do so.
 It is not true that the possibly se- rious nature of the water question at Bisbee is just dawning upon our min ing men who are also holders of these

grounded prosperity of the copper producing industry, the coppers are unquestionably the best investments on the market. The new buying or ders in the coppers have come from
 New York and the west, as well as from local investors, and brokers and traders all express surprise that so few stocks come to market on the sharp advances. It seems that by far the biggest bulls on the situation are those who already hold copper stocks.
 Every factor in the situation seems favorable to a considerable advance in prices. The metal is more likely to go up than down. Increased divi-
 dends are to be paid by several compa- nies, and two or three new dividend payers will soon come upon the list.

Investigation of the Standard Oil company is not taken seriously in the Street, where it is pointed out that similar examinations have come to naught, and that even if the reve- nues are curtailed little, the big trust will not suffer much.
 Europe has been for some time a large buyer of securities on this side, and the total is quite large, so large, in fact, that to it is ascribed the cessation of gold exports which were heavy for a time.
 It is evident that money will not much longer be a drug on the market, so far as call rates are concerned, for the reason that the receipts from the interior are falling away heavily, and it Is highly probable that new se-

years go by, and the Wall Street fleec- CTS do not find gullible geese to swal- low anything and everything offered for their edification. Hence. the Wall Street of today is not that of several years ago and it is becoming a nne art to be able to get good living out of the Street, unless one is on the inside.
 For a long time, the professionals have in reality been living off each other, no public being in the market and it being difficult to interest the so-called semi-professionals on the long side long enough to get fair Ire suits"

 Those, contemplating stock market operations, therefore, will do well if they give attention to the low priced issues when made active and take turns in them. If they attempt to buy the rich mems stocks it will be uphill work getting good returns. for the cream of the majority of high priced issues has been taken by those who bought last year when bargains of- fered.

On both of his groups he is carrying on development. On the [ group he has a 65-foot shaft, with a four foot vein at the bottom which runs from to 30 per cent copper and

the Cochise Consolidated and the Saw age are the only two properties at the present time engaged in extensive de- velopment work, though several oth-
 CTS are expected to begin shortly. The e. c. has 50 men employed. Drifting
 was until recently the principal work conducted on the property. This has been succeeded by resumption of sink ing in the shaft. The latter is an in- cline on ore to the 250 level. The
 new sinking is from that point. The shaft from that depth will be vertical. At 500 feet it is the intention to drift. The ore which has been followed with the incline shaft has run about $40 in lead, zinc and copper. The latter value has grown stronger with depth and the two former depreciated. How much of a vein there is is not known. Some little stoping has been done, but no real cross cutting. From the stopes considerable ore has been ship ped.
 The Savage has a shaft down 250 feet and is to drift as well as sink from that level The shaft has good grade lead, zinc and copper ore, two cars of which are now at Rodeo for shipment to shelter. The expecta- tion is that the property will soon have a small reduction plant of it's own in operation on the ground. It will also do custom work for others in the district.

Of the quantity available, he says there is an abundant supply in sight for many years working. At present this supply is not accessible by wagon road and to construct a highway that will connect the quarry with the rail road will cost at least S10.0D0.

 There is much activity reported in the neighborhood of Dragoon Summit, where several companies are going ahead with development and showing up some good ground. The Michigan Arizona, at Johnson, has uncovered several large bodies of low grade ore and is about in shape for a reduction plant, which could be operated on the ground with profit. The ore now in hand makes an average of about G per cent, too low to stand shipment. The company has a shaft down 250 feet at the old Mammoth Copper Go.

An inkling as to the extent of min ing operations in the Huachucas, Ora goons and other portions of Cochise county which draw upon the Southern Pacific for transportation services from the coast can be gathered from the fact that during last week there were over 800 cars of lumber side tracked between Los Angeles and Bowie which were consigned to the latter point for distribution. Of course some of this, probably a third was billed for Graham and Gila Coun- ty points up the c. V. & G. N, but still there was an enormous amount left for Cochise county, and 70 per cent of it comes for use in mining operations. It needs be considered, too, that these 300 cars were the ac- emulation of only a two weeks tie up of transportation. due to flood em- barrassments OF the line of railroad.
 E. T. Keene, of Denver, Col, has been in Fort Bowie district of Cochise county the last week Investigating its marble and commercial granite possibilities. His opinion is that the county has a great source of new in come ahead from the development CI these heretofore little considered re- sources. The marble he has found, MT.
