O'Brian thought that the stranger re-
ferred to his cap. Move on" he COM

Instead of moving on the stranger pulled

his club but the mans head seemed TO
take naturally to clubbing. and the COP,
after knocking the knife from his hand
closed I'm with his bare hands. After
long struggle O. Brian got his man to the
station house.
The surprise came when he was search

pocket and several pounds OF change dis
tributed among the lot. When the count
was over there was $567 10 on the desk I'm

MARKET IS LIFELEsS ONE| E|BG STRIKE ON STRIP|
Fabulous Riches Unearthed Near San Carlos Indian
 Reservation.
GOLD AND COPPER
 FOUND IN SHAFT.

Word was received in Solomonville this week of one of the richest strikes ever reported in the Territory. If the story is true the riches of King Soiomon's mines have been far sur passed by the latest strike on what is known as the strip" s,var San Car los Indian reservation.
 Frank Weast, an old time pros pector and well known in the mining camps of Arizona. has developed a body of ore that measures 40 feet across its face and is fabulously rich in both gold and copper, the former metal running from IS to 45 per cent.
 Among the prospectors and miners of the district there is the greatest ex- citement as a result of this latest find and men are rushing to the field from all quarters. Several parties have gone from Gila valley. It is reported tfat a number of quick sales of claims have already been made at four or five figure prices.
 The strip" has aly~ays been con sidered a rich mineral section but nothing like the present strike was ever dreamed of. One party calls it a second Cananea and another en- thusiast declares it will prove the biggest bonanza ever unearthed in the southwest. It is certain that if one half the reports are true, the new dis coyery will create new set of mil lianares in a very short time.
 On the strip are a number of mines. that for years have been pro Gucing small quantities of rich ore, bur so far the properties have been owned by men of small means, un- able to accomplish the preliminary de- velopment work necessary to discover their real worth. Operations have therefore been carried on upon a small scale, the ore being shipped in limited. irregular consignments to Fl Paso and other distant points for milling.
 It is now reported, however, that heavy capitalists have already been attracted by the Weast strike and that mining operations on a large scale are expected in the near future. A number of offers for good prospects have been made by men recently ar rived who are supposed to represent mining interests of unlimited capital.

Trading Prices Too Far Apart to Do Any Business
 Yesterday.
TRADING iN BONANZA
 STOCKS IS LIMITED.
(ey Frank j. orsf.)

BISBEE. May 2S.-During the great CT part of the day the market has been lifeless one, with traders prices too far apart to do any business and show ing tendency that they are not over anxious to do trading. There will be but little trading done in the Bonanza Circle stocks and bids and asked prices are for a limited amount of shares only. Calumet & Arizona stood well during the day. and at the close Boston bid $1l6. Denn.Arizona was in good demand, very likely on the rumor that they had ore in the north drift, which it not so, but indi- cations are very promising.
 Warren was without doubt the weak est stock on the board, aS there had becn large blocks offered during the day at s14, without a taker. Amer jean suffered likewise, being offered at s10. with no one in sight to take it up. Black Mountain should act better. as soon as We get some definite news regarding the law suit which is now pending at Tucson. Cochise is getting scarce at s5.25. Taking the Bonanza market as whole, they showed some strength the entire day. and more es- pecially at the close. We suggest the buying of development stocks for a profit

CALUMET & ARIZONA
 DIVIDEND SURPRISE

The Boston Commercial says thal the declaration of g dividend by the directors of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company comes as a surprise IL had generally been taken for granted that the company would pay it's regu, lar quarterly stipend of s2.50 which al the rate Of S10 per annum Justified d selling price of at least S100 if the mine had no other asset. These shares aC rate of s100 add a value of $25 per share to the outstanding amount The fact must be taken into account tfat Calumet & Arizona $ still in q way in the development stage and is not likely to reach its full growth for several years. The large cash reserve that the company is known to have in it's treasury must also be considered as factor of value.
 In addition to treating It's own ores 1t is now treating the ores of the Lake Superior & Pittsburg and the Pitts burg & Duluth, and is making eady to treat those of the Calumet & Ari zona alone to engage its entire ca pacity.
 There is no doubt that the Calumet & Arizona is now not only at the be- einning of it's career but it is as tcap as anything now on the local list. Its nroGuction and large profits warrant this statement.

ARIZONA COMMERCIAL TO
 BE ON PAYING BASIS

The development of the great ore body in the Black Hawk mine, estab- fishes the Arizona Commercial Copper Co. as a coming factor in the Arizona copper industry, and it has a most important bearing upon the future of the Globe camp.
 The survey for the Arizona Colnmer- cial Copper Co s new standand gllage railroad will soon be completed, and in four months time the road should be constructed. By that time the Black Hawk lode should be opened to a depth of 70 feet, at which depth the water level should be reached and the ore changed to sulphide
 The Copper Hill mine has shown I o. markable improvement in the past few months, and today shows more sul- phide and carbonate ore than ever be- fore. A large boGy of sulpnide ore on the fourth level has widened to II feet, while in the sixth level there are four large scopes in sulphide, and the east drift on the third level is enter ing a very promising body of high grade carbonate.
 The Arizona Commercial Co. com pines in it's several mines all the diff ferent ores essential to perfect smelt- ing, and recent splendid developments in its mines may hasten the determi- I.ation of the company to build a smeIt- ing plant of it's own.
 With the completion of the new rail road, it will be an easy matter for the Arizona Commercial Copper Co. to ship at least 400 tons of ore per day. which could be delivered to the Old Dominion shelter at a cost of 25 cents per ton and should net the company 5000 per day and place the stock upon an eurning basis of $10 per share.
