 The Copper King Co.,, of Arizona, which recently lost it's last hold in Warren district, through decision of the Supreme Court that it's Copper King group had been forfeited to Johnson & Scribner by reason of fail ure to do assessment work, appears to be having hard road to travel. It stiii owns claims in the Turquoise district and has in the last year been making an effort to secure money sufficient to continue development of these. A S250,000 : per cent bond is sue has been authorized. At present the stock is offered at New York for 1-4 cent per share of par value of S1 The Copper King Co. was organiz ed in 1895 and had a wonderful oppor- tunity in Warren district Through rank mismanagement the company was brought to the verge of collapse in 1903, a reorganization resulting. The new organization showed better intentions than the old but found if nancial obstacles piled against it that made progress exceedingly difficult It parted with portion of it's Warren district holdings to the Houghton and then lost the rest. It is now making strenuous effort to win out in the Turquoise and may do so, having what is said to be highly promising ground.
 Globe & Arizona Development has aroused considerable interest in the city. Sales of stock in this new com pany during the week have been, it is said, very satisfactory to those negotiating the same. Outlook is that much more of the stock will be sold during the next couple of weeks than has been disposed of up to this time. This for-the reason that local investors have had time to look up the property and have found it offers a good chance.
 Mir. Saint, who brought the stock to the city, knew he was tackling a hard proposition in one way and an easy one in another. It was nard from the fact that Bisbee has several exceedingly good things of its own on hand which offer excellent opportu- mites for all the spare change that may be floating around. On the other hand, a mining town is the place to sell mining stock. It's people know what is being offered and, in the case of Bisbee at least, are ready to take hold of good looking proposition even if they have to borrow the mon ey to do it. They will do more along this line in one hour than the people of a community not wise to mining will do in a month.

 The greatest difficulties that have
Bisbee daily review., 1905-03-19

Saginaw Development is pretty much of close corporation. They have no stock on the market and it is a close guess that they will have none on very soon. Someday there will likely be a mining company and the investing public will then likely get chance at it. If it does matters will be so far advanced that there will be practically no risk in taking hold of the stock

 The Saginaw people who were here during last week, representing some of the strongest capital in Michigan, are not of the opinion that there is much of risk, as mining goes, in the venture as it now stands. In this be lief they have the support of many Bisbee people acquainted with the ground. Particularly is this true since the Denn-Arizona and the Junction finds. Saginaw in view of these looks like the real thing,gil edged at that.
 During the last week the good opinion of the property has been en- hanced by the fact that the drift has passed through Is feet of leached ledge matter, which has an exceeding ly fine look and carries large pack age of assurance of geod things below. This drift is on the $50 level. It is deing what was expected or II, proving ground and substantiating theories that other finds on the property have created.

 At the bottom of the shaft, which is now down something better than ITO feet, the lime that has been had for several days has been growing steadily more encouraging. It carries knife blade seams of iron and at times little punches are found. All of which is most encouraging.

 The outline of plans for the year work made at the stockholders meet ing in this city the other day calls for three drifts from the bottom of the Saginaw shaft when it reaches water level. They are all to run in the di. rection of ore bodies that the man agement knows from conditions that have been found must be within touch, It is not certain that the shaft will get ore There has been nothing banked on that The drifts are 3 different proposition.

 Saginaw, Wolverine and Higgins are the three most interesting properties in the camp at the present time. Sue cess at either one of them will prove up much ground and throw the bars down for a season of activity such as has not before been witnessed in the camp, if signs point right. All three should before very long be giving some definite answers to development in progress. Saginaw would doubt less already have done so but for mis- fortune in the drill hole sinking on the Hat At IA feet the driller has tools stuck and there is considerable yet to do in the way of clearing the hole before further headway can be made.

 Just at the present time there are couple of good punches of ground idle that would provide ample room for a couple of big companies. Big they would have to be, for the district eats up money fast in the producing of mine, just as it makes it fast when the producing stage is reached The properties in question will not be idle long. They are in the path of progress and are bound to join the march.
 Manhattan Development is the lat est in the Chiricahuas. 1t is said to have excellent ground and will bene- fit extensively from development work done by the Chiricahua Development Findings of the latter have encour- aged the investment that has been made in Manhattan. Manhattan hold ing stock has not yet been issued. When apportionment is made it is un- derstood Bisbee will be given the advantage of the long end of the issue.
 The Manhattan is organized under the laws of Arizona with capital stock of s200,000, divided into 20,000 shares of par value of s10. each. The direc- tors are: Thomas F. Cole, of Duluth Minn.: Nathan NJ. Kaufman and Sam uel R. Kaufman, of Marquette, Mich; John H. Rice. William G. Rice and Al len F. Rees, of Houghton. Mich; and Norman W. Haire. of Ironwood, Mich. and the officers. John II. IIlce, presi- dent; William G. Rice, secretary and treasurer. One dollar per share has been called. and further assessments will be levied as the companys neces- sities may require.
 c. H. Goshen. of the Fl Dorado was in town yesterday. He states that they now have nine feet of ore, running high in gold values. Mir Goshen leaves today for the east, where he goes to place that portion of the recent stock issue of the com pany not taken up, locally.
 secretary Bateman anu directors or the Mitchell Development Co.,, accord ling to advices received in the city during the week, will be here some Ttime during the next several days to arrange the final steps for resump- tion of development in Montezuma canyon The manner in which the news was conveyed has given conf dence that this time the people of the new Mitchell organization are really coming to the camp very soon.

 It is stated that the delay that has occurred in the coming of MT. Bate man and his associates has been due to trouble they had in Michigan in the matter of getting control of the books of the old organization and pro ceeding with the business of the new. This trouble has been definitely over for some time now. Since it was put out of the way things are said to have been going very satisfactorily for the new organization.

Saint made the statement that within two years more shipments of sul phides into Globe would cease, for the reason that Globe would in that time develop sufficient sulphide ores to carry 1t through many years. This character of ore, necessary in the economical treatment of the rich ores the camp has, has lately been brought in and shipments from outside. priu- cipally from Warren district. have already been decreased. This de- crease will continue as sulphides are got into more extensively with in- creasing depth in Globe district until they are finally shut off altogether. + + 4
 There have been two camps in Ari- zona which have been materially held back in recent years by the lack of depth. Globe has been one of these and Clifton-Morenci is the other. When the latter breaks loose and gets depth there are going to be big things doing up that way. Clifton-Mo- renci has never had a boom. but it is surely destined to witness one in the next several years. Globe is entering upon one now.

 The Huachuca Consolidated people l will doubtless indulge in a large meas ure of pardonable pride when they begin to operate their standard mill in the Huachucas. few antiquated rolls have been revolving at spas modic intervals at different points in the district for years, and the result in every case was much better than the management. Several years ago a stamp mill was erected near the old Stump place in the mouth of Ash canyon to handle low grade silver ore from the San Jose mountains across the line. It was never used on Hua- chuca ore and of course could not pull" hungry grade ore such a dis tance and "claw out" The omni- present, irrepressible Michigan blood is strongly in evidence in the Hua- chucas.
 In the case of Huachuca Consodi- dated, these worthy people certainly have something in hand that is worthy of their entire attention and resources. Its magnitude and extent are such as to indulge their hroadest ambition. They may operate on any scale they choose from five stamps to five hun dred, and it is a sure thing that their ore supply will not be exhausted in one generation

 Lots of us in Michigan made our money in lumber" continued MT. Nor ley. "The lumber business is great one and yields. particularly as the tim Der grows scant in the neighborhood operated in, large returns. But the life of the timber belt is practically but that of a minute as compared with that of the copper mine. And when we reach the end of the timber sup ply we have had to operate with we simply face. liquidation. In mining our investment continues to grow, provided that after the preliminary steps of attainment of mineral sup ply, the investment to get the materi- al to market, our mine holds out. The Lake copper mines have held out, and those that Lake people have come into in Warren district certainly give, from what can understand, every as surance of sustaining the long life record copper mines have made most everywhere in the world"

 Calumet & Bisbee resurrection talk continues to be heard. Stockholders here do not know whether the talk will materialize into action at any early date or not But they are not worrying on the score, for they most all feel that the ground will in due time to certainty come to the front It will at least save them their invest ment, or most of it.
 Four claims are owned by the Calu- met & Bisbee. They are considered by local stockholders who know some. thing about the property to be well worth the money that is in them. Drifting from the L. s. &, P. that got plenty ore was going right toward the c. 6 B. drill hole when the latter com. pany shut down. There is ore in Cal umet & Bisbee claims and in due time it is bound to be developed.

 The prospector has no kick coming on the rains. They have washed the ground nicely for him and have ac. complished unaided a great deal of prospecting work, distributed in way that a regiment of prospectors scat tered in a given district could not have accomplished. Tons of dirt have been removed and tons of bolders dis placed to give sight of new ground. It is an excellent time to be prowling over the country looking at the work done in the washes and in the noun tain sides by natures hydraulic plant Aside from this an abundance of water has been put in all streams in the Southwest and luxurious feed for ami nal life accompanies it. The pros pector can go out this season without fear of suffering for lack of water for himself or feed and water for his pack.

TRANsMIssIssIPPI CONGRESS.
Chinese Exclusion Law and Its Re-
suits Chief Topic of Discussion.

Portland. Ore, Aug. 1S.-The Trans
mississippi Congress opened hero
Wednesday ard at once the Chinese
exclusion law and its results came up
for discussion. Governor Chamber
lain of Oregon had hardly finished the
perfunctory welcome to the congress
when he launched an emphatic dictum
to the effect that while the commercial
interests of China are valuable, the in
fiux of horde of Chinese coolies into
the Pacific coast states is too high
price to pay for it. and this, he said In
effect, would be the result If the ex-
clusion laws were not administered
with the utmost stringency.
Though not SO emphatic in his dec
larations, Governor Mead expressed
similar views on the subject. The rep
resentatives in the congress Of Ore
gon and Washington heartily ap-
plauded this sentiment, but the Cali
fornians, whose metropolis is credited
with almost monopoly of the $780,
100000 import trade of China, were
conspicuously silent.

address, emphasized the point that It
is not to compel the introduction of

contrary. The boycott is a remon-
