DECEMBER MARKET
 MAKES FAIR START
MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER
 THAN IT WAS.
Improvement Expected Up to Christ mas, When Profit Taking May Have Effect-Blaek Mountain Drops Off to 16-Denn-Arizona in Demand at S1e.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

BiSbee, Dec. l.
 From all indications Thanksgiving did not help to make the market any better, but as long as it did not de- press it, We have no complaint to make. The month of December does not start off the best in the world; we, however, look for a good market for the entire month, and should see higher prices up till Xmas, when we would not be surprised to SC consider able profit-taking. This doesn't mean that you should all sell out and try to get back into the market, for you might not be able to get back into it under a lower figure.
 Calumet & Arizona held up well the entire day, with bids at s119, and clos ed at that figure with none coming out Calumet & Pittsburg were also some what weak and buyers refused to take it at $35.50. L. s. & P. was being sought after at $3S, and few sales were made at that figure. P. & D. seems to be getting rather inactive, a block being offered at $25 and no buyers for it. Junction was in de. mand at S2S. Denn-Arizona was still in demand at s19, while Black Mountain, after her rapid advance of a few days past, dropped off consider ably, and plenty has been offered at SIG

CHASE CREEK COMPANY.

Clifton. Nov. 30.-S. s. Campbell. of the Chase Creek Company. who has been for the past eighteen months at his home in Boston, Mass, is again looking over the district and is sur prised at the promising improvements since his last visit.
 The Chase Creek Company of Ari- zona. under the able management of I. N Stevens, has made rapid pro- gross in the local mining field and is today considered to be one of the strongest of the smaller companies. The development of this property means the opening up of most of the largest belts in the district and sur rounded as it is nall sides by paying mines it's future is virtually assured.

In the Altar district in the north western part of Sonora. there is great mining activity and travellers from that cestion say that all along the Sonora railroad machinery is piled up and being transported to different mines This district is rich in gold both in placers and in lodes.
 Probably the largest concern now operating in this field is the Black Mountain Mining company, 9S miles west of Magdalena. This concern is said to have on it's property an i'm mense deposit of low-grade gold ore W Nhich it has been developing for a long while.
 A mill of 120 stamps is under con- struction at the mines and this is to be increased to GOO stamps. so it is said. At Ma2dalena the company has built a 100 h. p. electric plant and the power is to be carried over line now completed to the mines and mill
 C. M. Banks is general manager of this company and T. Powers, super intendent.
 The Ohio-Mexico Mining company q NAANlhAtlAl NOlANCA H. JpAAL AACAANNA t'SAAf general manager. is building a cotton shelter at Caborca. 70 miles west of Santa Ana Station on the Sonora rail- road. The company may also build a concentrating plant there. It is also understoow that this company is contemplating building railroad from Caborca to the Gulf of California coast. a distance of 70 miles.
 The Llano de Ore company has s20O,0OO worth of water pipe at Santa Ana station on the Sonora railway for the transmission of water to its placer properties in the Altar district. At Guaymas. it is said that ma chinery is on hand for a 100-ton GUS tom shelter. Throughout a great part of the Altar district great mum ter of mines are being worked.

LAKE SUPERIOR 6 ARIZONA.

ioughton, Mich. Dec. 1.-Within the last four days two letters have been received at the Calumet office of the Lake Superior & Arizona from Su- perintendent A. c. Sieboth, in Pinal county, Arizona, telling of two i'm portant strikes at the property. The latest of these came yesterday, and it's tenor is such as to stimulate con fdence very greatly in the immediate outlook for the property. In it MT. Sieboth says:
 T beg to report that our round of holes, which were shot in the Holt in- clined shaft this afternoon broke into what appears to be a large vein, which stands in an approximately vertical position and has an apparent strike of north 10 degrees east. The vein seems to be a large one, and has shown a heavy iron and manganese filling of the other vein, upon which all our developments have been cen tered.
 Tt is possible that this new vein is the original Assure from which the other vein has received it's enrich ment, thus confirming the theory which l advanced about a year since at the time we were sinking the verti cal shaft, i. e., that we would eventu ally find our lode standing vertically or nearly so, and penetrating through the quartzite foot into the eruptivC diorite.''

SURPLUS IS NOT A
 BAD THING TO HAVE
CALUMET & ARIZONA DECLARES
 A DIVIDEND.
Splendid Performance for a Property of Its Years-To List Stock on 5os- ton Exchange.
(From Iron Ore.)

There are some expressions of dis appointment heard concerning the ac- tion of the board of directors of Calu- met & Arizona Mining company held at Calumet Wednesday, but those who know a good thing when they see it, and who know it still better when they feel it, are well plesaed with the way the minutes of the meeting read. It was thought that owing to the fact that the company had a surplus of over three millions that a bigger divi- dend would be made at this time, but the directors probably decided a sur plus was not a bad thing to have. We used to-hear much of the big surplus in political circles a few years ago, and when the management was chang ed and the surplus all spent with much that had not been earned it brought about a financial condition that proved to be anything but popular. The com psry evidently believes it can use a substantial treasury to advantage. There are some things that can be ac- complished if there be a substantial cash reserve after all debts are paid. There might be a necessity for carry ing a stock of copper over a certain period. There may be new mines that will be wanted, and the concern with the cash is always in good shape to drive favorable bargains. There are new improvements to be made, and it is wise to have plenty of mon ar-

Not Boomers.

The directors of Calumet & Arizona are not boomers. but are miners of cop per They handle their mines and metal so as to get the most there is in the business. They show very low cost for making a pound of copper, and they are making improvements that will still further reduce this low price. It is the copper mine that can make it's metal cheap that is bound to attract attention, and Calumet & AIi- zOna can not be beaten by any more than one mine in the United States. That's a pretty good record for a youngsJer, for it is young one as cop per mines are developed.
 Those who possess the shares of this company need do DO worrying concern ing them. They will be earning good money constantly.
 The dividend declared was s2.50 placing the property now on dividend basis of S10 per year, very nice thing for all concerned. With the listing, as we have said. the value of shares should increase. The mine is all right and so are the present stockholders.
 The dividend on Calumet & Arizona is payable December 18th, at 10 o'clock a. m. to stockholders of record at 3 o'clock D. m. Dec. 2. The distribution of S500,000 will make the total paid to date $3,400,0O0.

Shares to Be Listed.

That the listing of the shares on the Boston Exchange. which is to be done at once. will be a good thing for the spectators in the stock. will prove true. The action will make the prop erty better known and give it an ad- vertising it does not now possess. This is well examplified in the case of North Butte which has had such a wonderful rise There can be as many good things said of Calumet & Arizona as of any copper mine on the list, and when these come out on the market reports and prOgnosJications of reputable brokers it may be expect ed that the stock will show response. It will quickly be established as sub stantial property that will be recogniz- ed as good collateral by the banks of the East Thus far the Western banks have been far more liberal in loaning upon 1t than the Eastern. This was probably due to the fact that the real value of the mine is better known here.

A Steady Payer.

The mine making the steady ana quarterly dividends are new 10 Lake Superior mining shareholders, and We can say for them that they are appre- ciated. It gives the shareholders an opportunity to invest their dividends, puts the money into circulation and is a stimulant to business. The distrib- ution of a half million dollars for the three months ending soon will be sat isfactory to the big majority. That there is still plenty of money in the treasury of the company is not bad thing for the credit of the mine.
 No other copper mine in the world can equal the performance of this in the same space. It has proved a yer itable bonanza. and will be a good money earner long into the future. The mine is in fine condition. There have been important recent additions of rich ore bodies. The new shaft. the Oliver. is proving very rich. and there need be no apprehension concerning the future. Copper Queen. It's nearest neighbor. is working on it's twenty sev- enth year. and is richer today than at any past time in its history.

Why Not He CarefuIf

Thousands of people are handling certain articles daily without any idea of their dangerous nature.
 The ordinary soda water syphon, for instance, Is a bomb, and an exceeding ly powerful one to boot, charged, as 1t frequently is, up to pressure of be- tween 13O and 160 pounds.
 The large celluloid combs, again, which ladies are so fond nowadays of wearing in their hair. will, If accident ally brought in contact with a naked light, burst into flame of explosive vio- lence. Nor Is this to be greatly wond- cred at, seeing that one of the ingre- dients of celluloid Is gun cotton, while another is camphor, than which there Is no more infiammable substance known to chemists.
 Elannelette kills more people than does smallpox, yet people go on wear ing 1t because 1t Is cheap, careless of match to the himsy fabric means cer- tain and hideous death.
 Many even of the medicines we use to cure our ailments have concealed amid their other and harmless ingre- dients substances fraught with similar peril to our persons.
 Iodide of nitrogen, for instance, which Is frequently prescribed in combination with other drugs, Is a highly explosive chemical, and acidents have happened over and oyer again through its in- cautious handling by persons ignorant of its dangerous properties.
 Tincture of iron and diluted aqua regia, again, mixture often prescribed as tonic, gives off an explosive gas which has been known to shatter the strongest vessels. .-~.. ~".: Bicarbonate of potash, a common remedy for fatulence, will cause a dangerous explosion if accidentally mixed with subnitrate of bismuth. Ordinary spirits of wine Is a sub stance possessing tremendous perils. A pint of 1t, If suddenly ignited. will pro- duce the very same destructive effects as three or four pounds weight of gun powder. This has been proved on many different occasions. : '"

They Are Not, Like Some Fruits, Good
 Only for Their Flavor.

They Are NOt, Lfke some rruAtst NooA
 Only for Their Flavor.
 PalI Mall Gazette.
 Professors of dietetics tell us that the banana is not, as many fruits are, a flavor and nothing more, but food and a source of real nutriment It IS at once useful and delicious. It not only gratifies the palate, but supplies material for combustion and the main- tenance of animal heat while 1t also builds up the muscles and repairs the worn and threadbare nerves.
 The flour made from 1t in its dried state is equal in nutritive value to rice, and how invigorating and sustaining rice Is has been demonstrated In the recent achievements of the Japanese. Dried and sprinkled with sugar, form in which it has been recently intro duced in this country, the upstart ba- mana is, weight for weight, as nutrl- tious as the venerable fig.
 But 1t Is in the fresh state that the banana chiefly appeals to us. It's creamy succulence and delicate odor are inviting, and its pleasant sapor IS a prelude to good digestion. Depend ent as that sapor Is in ethereal body. which the coal tar investigators have not yet been able to initiate by cnemi- cal essence, it is a subtle stimulus to all subsequent elementary processes. And thus 1t Is that the banana Is an eminently digestible food. No sense of oppression or drowsiness follows meal of 1t, and a meal of 1t may be bulky enough.
