New York, Feb. 14.-The market opened steady, ? to points down Trading was more active. and there was some aggressive bear pressure, just at the opening, which caIired prices off to the low price of recent declines, but on the decline there was excellent buying by the bull leaders, who sold out heretofore. and have been waiting for a reaction. They were good buyers of both May and July, taking from 10000 to 25,000 bales. The market showed so much strength that shorts began to cover, and prices went up some IS points.

RUSH OF BUYERS
 FOR BONANZA CIRCLE
LONG LOOKED FOR TURN HAS Ev. lDENTlY MADE ITS AP-
 PEARANcE.
Spectators Were Eager After c. 6 P. When 1t Was Learned That Body of Ore Had Been Encountered During Aftenoon--Warren Also Favorite.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

Blsbee. Feb. fl.
 From the looks of today's market the long looked for turn has made its appearance, and on no other account than the finding of ore in the Calumet S& Pittsburg Briggs shaft. During the first part of the day the market show ed Q considerable improvement, as httle stock was offered, and there was plenty Of buyers at prevailing prlces.
 Late this afternoon it was rumored that the Calumet & Pittsburg had struck bunch of nice ore. It was re- ported that this was on the 900. We think that this is wrong, from what we can learn. and we always try to get right. The ore was found ou No. 3 crosscut on the No. winze, winch is off considerable distance from the 800. The winze is some where in the neighborhood of about 150 10 175 feet deep. and somewhere at this depth this crosscut was run. Just what per cent this ore goes we can not tell. but think it is all right. The demand fer C. & P. this afternoon was far beyond the supply, and little was offered. Only those who get in sarly secured their c. & P. This seems to have affected the entire market We hope that the ore that was found in the c. & P. will prove to be a good body, as it will certainly change the minds of many people that have always been knocking c. & P. In depth, as We figure it out, this ore was found about the 1910 or 1920, which goes to show that the c. & P. have only to get down and get a chance to drift. when she will open large bodies of ore.
 Don't overlook the fact that Juno tion is cheap at the present prices.
 Warren Realty and Dev. Co. was in good demand at s16.50, and none came out under ST. London & Butte con- tinues firm at s2.50. with little or none coming out under s2.65.
 Black Mountain is being sought af- ter freely at s11, but looks as though nothing under s11.50 will bring it out it being very scarce in the Copper Country.

 One of the important announce ments of the week is that the Iron Cap Mining company have decided to immediately begin extensive develop, ment work on their group of claims which adjoin the properties of the Arizona Commercial and Globe & Ari. zOna Development companies, and the Bird group, which is under bond to Hoval A. Smith and H. B. Hove land.
 M. J. Galpin, a director of the Iron Cap company, arrived last Monday from Phoenix to start the work, which he will personally superintend. MT Galpin informed a representative of the Silver Belt that the company has a fund of s50,O0O available for Gevel- opment purposes, all of which will be expended in opening up the property and buying the necessary equipment to carry on the work. The shaft on the property. which is now down 130 feet, will be sunk to 600 feet and levels run.
 The location of the Iron Cap and the surface indications are very prom ising and important results are con- fidently expected from the work about 10 be undertaken.

ACQUIRING MINES
 IN SONORA MEXICO
SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION GATHERED BY CORRES-
 PONDENT.
Must Form Corporation Under Mexi- can Law, or Have Land Denounced By Native.
(From Internationai-American.) )


 At the request of the International American a well-informed mining man Of Douglas took special pains to gath CT the following information apper taining to the acquiring of mining property in Sonora. What follows is reliable, and comes from prominent attorneys and officials at Cananea: "To all mining men and prospectors who desire to go into the state of So nora, Mexico, and acquire mining claims, since the laws have been SC changed regarding the denouncement of property, it would be wise to op- serye the following rules:
 | "fn the first place, all foreigners have been debarred from taking up mining ground, and it is necessary to either form a corporation under the laws of Mexico, or else have a citizen of Mexico denounce the land wanted before any property can be acquired.
 Tn the second place, it is necessary now to deposit with the mineral agent of the district the fall price of each pertenencia, upon making the de nouncement. The pertenencia equals about 2.46 of an acre, according to our measurement, and SC. Mexican money, is demanded by the govern ment as a sign of good faith upon each pertenencia. Unless title can be acquired. this deposit is refunded.
 Tn the third place, it is necessary to pay a fee of s35, Mexican money. to the land office upon making the announcement, and another fee to an agent or attorney for making trans lations and attending to the proper filing of the papers. These fees are the same as under the old laws. A survey of the property denounced must also be made by a reliable sur veyor, who has a regular fixed price for each pertenencia, and the map and field notes sent to the City of Mex ico for approval.
 Upon the return of the surveyors work to the district mineral agent, endorsed by the general land office in the City of Mexico. patent will be issued and the original deposit pays for the ground.
 Any one who wishes to take up mining ground now must also be careful to denounce exactly what he wants. Under the old law any per son could claim thousands of acres and then take what he pleased when the survey was made.
 Large areas of land cannot be taken up any longer unless the de nouncer puts up a deposit for every pertenencia and either pays or foTfeits when his announcement is approved by the general land office.
 By following the above advice | Americans or others will have no trouble in getting title to mining | property"

much 5rlGhter AIT.
 Conditions surrounding the Copper share market assumed 8 much brighter outlook yester- day, and throughout the list good, substantial gains were made, with the indication that there will be more favorable atmosphere prevailing in the stock trading. With the news of the strike made by the Calumet & Pittsburg in their 900-foot drift running toward the Lowell, things surely should take a turn in favor of this particular stock, and also have its influence on the sis terhood. Those who have talk en advantage of the low prices that have held forth for some time past will come in for good big profits. None of the bo- nanzas are selling at anything like prices that they are really worth, and today they are quoted at figures that will look ridiculous after the next sever al months have run their course.

Or the theory that good news was out regarding the copper merger and Union Pacific dividends. in connection with the disappointment over leaG,ug ore lands of the Great Northern to United States Steel. the market suffer ed from profit taking, and the bears, finding copper stocks a bit wabbly, did not hesitate to press their advant- age. The strengthening in the mon |ey rates undoubtedly contributed to the desire of holders to trim sails.
 The volume of business was not large, which would indicate that as yet the period of urgent selling press ure has not been reached.
 The close is unsettled and weak enough to warrant looking for some what lower prices tomorrow.

SAYS WATCH is WORTHLESS
Victim of a JeweIry Auction Makes
Complaint to Police That
He Was SWindIed

Raymond Still of Tempe, Ariz., made
complaint to Deputy City Prosecutor
Frederickson yesterday that he had
been iammed" at a jewelry auc-
tion on South Main street.
After hearing the boys story and
learning what Patrolman Roy Allen
had to say regarding the methods en-
ployed at such auctions, the prosecut-
ing attorney said he would not issue
complaint for obtaining money under
false pretenses until he had looked
further into the matter. The case was
similar to one that was dismissed in
the police court recently and there is
considerable doubt in the mind of the
prosecuting attorney if there is any
law to protect willing victims.
According to the story told by Still,
he went to an auction conducted by
Harry Willoughby for M. Marin of 5S4
South Main street, and bid on a watch
which he alleged was not worth the
money he offered for it, After some dis
pute Patrolman Allen appeared and
took the auctioneer and his assistants
to police headquarters.
While the police say there is no
doubt that q lot of fake" jewelry is
being sold at auction at several places
on South Main street, it is exceedingly
difficult to obtain evidence tending to
show criminal intent

ACE OF WORKING 1T
Real Estate Men Grow Suspicious
When Oily Tongued Stranger Pre-
sents Large Check and Asks for
Commission

Additional evidence was secured yes-
terday i'm regard to the operations of
]. w. Kefford, arrested Friday night
on a charge of passing q fictitious
check.
Besides passing nearly one hundred
checks of small denominations. it has
been learned that Kefford attempted to
work confidence game upon Ocean
Park real estate men, but was unable
to secure any plunder there
He went to Ocean Park and repre-
sented himself to be a real estate agent,
After becoming acquainted with q num-
Der of the agents, one day he pre-
scented a check for $12O5 to a real es-
tate man, saying that he had Just sold
lot and that the amount represented
the purchase price.
When Kefford asked for half of the
commission the agent became suspi-
cious and telephoned to Sheriff White
about the matter. Kefford disappeared
before he could be apprehended
The man is good looking, a smooth
talker and dresses as a man of af-
fairs He has been very frank with
the detectives since his arrest and
seems. to take pride in his schemes for
separating the unwary from their
money.
Kefford was arrested Friday night
as he was endeavoring to pass a small
check on the Monte Vista Wine COM
pany on South Main street.
The salesman was suspicious of the
smooth young stranger and called up
the police station. When the detectives
arrived, to their great satisfaction they
beheld Kefford, who was wanted for
passing q large number of fictitious
checks during the past few months
Kefford was convicted of similar
offense last year and was placed on
probation. Since that time he has
been living on his wits and has ap-
parentlv prospered until arrested FRI
