PRosPEcToRS ACTIVE

The Cananea Consolidated Copper company store has recently furnished an excellent index to the activity in prospecting which exists about the district. In commenting lately upon the increased trade known to be di- rectly attributable to the quitting of prospectors for new exploration and prospecting work, Manager Griswold of the hardware department, said this week that in the last thirty days there had been more trade of this character ever his counters than in any previous four months during his experience of nearly two years in the camp. Other departments of the store coming in contact with the same class of t-ade supported his assertions. The people outfitted are going in every direction out of camp and orders sent in by many who have recently gone out call ing for supplies indicate beyond doubt that not few of them have come up on that which they confidently believe to be of the character they want and have faith to stay with. This is par. ticularly true with reference to the Manzanal mountain district, where there seems to be the greatest of raith and from where reports are nu -aerous of promising strikes and gen eral activity.

some unaccountable reason this prop erty was hammered" at this end Of the line from the day 1t foated until the day it was sold.
 To assure the success of the flo- tation I surrendered to the company 10000 shares of my own stock, and is- sued to friends of the Cananea-Duluth Copper Co. whatever amount I agreed to give them for tneir assistance in floating the company, supposing at all times that the company would take care of them.
 Now then, my friends, if the use of my own stock to pay the just obliga- tions of the company Is violating a trust reposed in me-then must con feSs that I am ignorant of the mean ing of the violation of trust" l"
 was made secretary and vice presi- dent of the CananearDuluth CopperC Co. for the sole purpose of issuing the stock at this end so tha time could be saved by not sending 1t to Mexico for signatures and awaiting it's return. The issuance of stock by me at this office was in line with the under. standing had with the McMillans Along the same lines the McMillans saw fit to apcint John F. Norris. Asst Treasurer without authority. and he was paid by the company 5OC shares of stock as you will note in the Accountants report.
 You say that the condition of af fairs as reported. are a surprise. and was entirely unexpected. 1 wish tC say to you that this is absolutely false. The conditions as they existed were known 10 Mr. Powell and every other member of the board of direc tors before 1 left Bisbee on August 4th last.
 think if you will take this matter up with Mir. Powell he will inform you that there is no foundation for the very damaging reports of my dealings with the company. If there is any question about the issuing of the stock out of my own allotment, then all there is for the company to do Is to reissue me 10000 shares, and call in the stock that they claim is i'm properly issued. and I will cause tc be issued to every man who now holds such stock an equal amount VI CioOhdA hAo VIII place the company exactly in the same position as it is in today.
 Now. gentlemen and all my friends from what I know of Mir. T. F. Cole and Mir. Powell, I say without hesita tion that I honestly believe that they will deal fairly and honorably witf every man who holds one share oi stock in the Cananea-Duluth Coppel Co. Further than this I have Mir. Fowelrs assurance that they will dc the right thing"
 Let me repeat, gentlemen. that ir all my dealings with the Cananea-Du luth Copper Co. my efforts have beer for the benefit of the company ana its stockholders, and if any man is tc lose anything on my actions it vii be myself and only myself. and thaI loss will be due to my paying the ob

CANANEA-DULUTH HOLDERS ARE ID
 GET CASH
L. w. Powell on Way West to
 Make Satisfactory Cash Ar
 rangement With StockhoId-
 ers--Wiii Do the Right Thing

Under the date of Oct. 20. the Can anea Herald publishes an article rel ative to the Cananea-Duluth company and it's affairs. When asked concern ing the matter on his arrival in the city yesterday morning, Col. l.. ". Powell refused to confirm or deny any thing contained in i-.:. article. simply stating that he woulG not discuss tho matter ot this time. The article fol- lows:
 A telegram received Thursday by Hawes & Evans from Secretary Ken pedy, of the Canansa-Duluth, stated that L. W. Powell, manager of Can anea Central and C. & A., was en route west from Michigan empowered to make a cash settlement with Can anea-Duluth stockholders. The terms that will be offered were settled upon while MT. Powell was in Duluth and Calumet. Nothing has been made public as yet as to figures. The pre- sumption IS that announcement will be made by NJ. Powell upon his ar rival in Bisbee, which is expected to- day or tomorrow. While Surmise can only be indulged at this time, there are reasons for expectation that the offer Mir. Powell comes pack prepared 10 present will be of character ac- ceptaDle to Cananea-Duluth stockhold- e.s and that they will avail them selves of it. Such outcome is to be much desired here, as it will enable the resumption of work at the prop erty under the most favorable clr- cumstanceS and assistin no small man. ner in hastenIng the heavy develop ment and largo increase in working force that awaits Cananea Central
 Report few weeks ago became current that Secretary and Vice presl- uenL fower, or the Cananea-Duluth, had issued a number of certiticaLes of stock in that company without due authority and at time when the transfer of the holdings of the com pany had practically been completed. Therefore the purchasers found more stock on the marHet than they knew about al toe time of purchase ana ac- cordlnSly held up announcement of their intentions with regard to settle men Sltn Cananea-Duluth stockhold- CTS unul such time as they could cCmpIete investigation.
 The report created a distinct sen satlon among Stockholders in Can anea-DuiuLh and resulted in the ad- uressing of letters by certain ot them 10 Mir. Power. The latter made re- sponse winch was received by rep-e- sene&uves of the stockholders in Bis Dee fast week. They forwarded to the Herald copy of the letter wnich IS printed below. On the strength of the letter it is s.ated that Bisbee stockholders have taKen legal steps 10 bring about adjustment of their claims through T. F. Cole as the prin. clpal parry in the purchase of Can Ghs2-Duiuth IL is stated that the complaint which has been drawn puts particular stress on the belief nt!d by the stockholders that more lhan ample tune has been had in which the purchasers of Cananea-Du. luth might have arrived at final con, cluSions and announced the latter.

 Very truly yours,
 w. J. POWER. To the Board of Directors of Cananea-
 Duluth Copper Company:
 Pursuant to your instructions. have examined the stock books of the company and the other books which were furnished me by MT. w. J. Pow CT. secretary of the company. I have also covered with Mir. Power ana Pritchard & Hagen, of Bisbee. who were the selling agents of the com pany for Bisbee and Cananea- From the statement made to me by them from the books of the company It ap- pears that the total issue of stock was as follows:
 To the organizers If Co. 25o,o00 shs Sold by Pritchard & Hagen 13,336 shs Sold by W. I. Powers 5000 shs Issued to John P. Norris 800 shs 26S,s3s  ,, l also find from examination of the stock transfer book and the stub books that the total number of shares now actually outstanding is 265, ,221, which leaves a discrepancy of 2615 shares which were originally issued, but which are now outstanding. Mir. Powers explains this by the fact that he surrendered to the company two certificates, for 10000 shares, each, out of which he has caused to be issued 16.3S5 shares. leaving a balance of 3C15 shares which be Is entitled to have issued to him by the company I have verified the statement that he has surrendered two certificates of ten thousand shares each to the com. rany.
 l The ledger and journal kept by MT Power show d credit in his favor 6 $f645.74; against this should be charged $5000.00, being the price o{ the 5000 shares sold by him al par which should leave him indebted to the company in the sum of $354.26. | As to the number of shares which i nave been sold by Pritchard & Hagen | I have been unable to check the amount which they should have re- I ceived, therefore with the treasurers books. so as to see whether they have not yet had access 10 the treasurer's 1 accounts.

Gentlemen

Gentlemen:
 In answer 10 your inquiry, in the form of a joint letter received today, I wish to thank you for informing me of the current report which is being circulated so far from my home that until I received your letter l had no knowledge of US cir. e iation. Allow me in justice to all my friends and myself to deny mos; enIphaulcaily the truth of the report of which you inform me-
 wish to say in reply to your let. ter:
 First: That have not disposed of my. holdings in the Cananea-Duluth CopperCo.
 ard Vice-President of that company.
 Third: That I could have disposed of my interests very advantageously, but did not do so because I did no know how the other stockholders whe came into this venture on my recon mendation would be treated
 Replying further to your letter will say that you will lind attached heretf a report of the Cananea-Central ac countant, Mir. Paul, who was by res, oiution of the Cananea-Duluth Cop per Co.'S Board of Directors made Special Accountant for the Cananea Duluth Copper Co. His report as you will note. makes To reference to anJ improper. issue of stock, but on the contrary shows conclusively that every share of stock sold by the company eithe through my office or elsewhere has been counted for. You will on an investigation of tht books of the company ascertain thal this report has been spread upon tht l minutes Q the last meeting ot he Board of Directors and is now part of the records of, that meeting. As you are aware, the company ir it's infancy had no money in it's Treas ury with which to pay the general ex penses, and had to depend entirely up On the sale Of stock for the develop ment of the property. Therefore-it was understood that no charges was tc be made. until the property was or a paying basis for the services ren dered by myself and the other of ficers of the comapry.
 | In promoting a proposition of thi: kind a great deal of expense Is at tation to it's flotation. In this cast t was particularly so because fof
