Unable to stand the awful mental
strain, John P. Quirk. who murdered
William A. Dowell yesterday afternoon.
has broken down and for several hours
today he sat with his face buried in
his hands, refusing to look up or talk
even when questioned by the detectives.

he, said to the jailer. =" I shot him in
self-defense, but I am sorry, for I
don't know what will be done about it
and I can hardly think. -
This kdoWn came after 4 stub
born resistance on the part of the muir
derer, who had assumed an attitude of
indifference and professcd to believe
that he had done what was right.
At noon today Quirk was on the
verge Of collapse and he is being care
fully watched to prevent an attempt at
suicide. He slept fairly we'll last night,
but when he arose early today, nery-
BUSINESS began to get the best Of him
and he is now in serious condition.
Shortly, Before noon his wife was
permitted to see him, but. she remained
with him only a few minutes. Both
were nervous and the police thought it
wise to make the interview short. s .

Up to the time Of the breakdown
Quirk was sullen and proved to be one
of the most stubborn murderers that the
police have dealt with. Now the police
think he will be more inclined to talk
! and it is possible that he will tell his
true motive for the crime. 5s
When examined last night no definite
statement could be obtained from him
and he would not tell full story Of
the murder. txct /. =. i. =: =. -

WEEKS MARKET CLOSED WITH FEW CHANGES
Warren Took a Spurt Yester- day and Sales Were Made
 at Thirteen Dollars.
(By Frank J. Graft.l

The market close for this week, with a few exceptions, does not show any change to speak of. The general list not only in the curb stocks but in the other exchanges as well. The re- deeming features In today's market were Warren, American and Shattuck. Owing to rumors in the east that i'm portant information would be forth coming very shortly, caused heavy buying of the stock. both locally and in the east, and tonight there Is but little stock being offered. Sales at sl3.25 were made during the day. and tonight bids of that figure fail to To- cate any stock, last sales being made at sl3.00. If the stock has advanced two points on the rumor, it certainly will sell higher when the news is made public. In sympathy with War ren was American, which moved up a point with fair demand at $500. Shat tuck is beginning to look up again, and sales were made this morning at S49. and later in the day at $50.50, with indications of higher prices the com ing week.
 Superior is steady at $25.50 and s25.62, without great demand. Denn is apparently neglected. with consid- erable stock offered al SIS and no buy. CTS.
 Globe holds up well at SIP bid, al- though there is considerable coming out at that. Keweenay took on an advance, closing at s14sbid Greene shows 8 decline for the week, closing at $25.62.
 Nippissing also showed further de- cline. closing at s14 bid. If the title to this property is clear this should be a good buy. The balance of the list shows no change. but should the mon. ey market be in good shape. We would not be surprised to see better mar. ket.

CALUMET & ARIZONA PRODUCTION

Calumet ( Arizona stock has been the star performer on the boards dur ing the past two weeks. It reached as high as s1S5, and closed at $16S.o0 on yesterday. A boom got into the market, and open orders from the west sent to eastern centers to buy at market" sent the stock soaring several points each day. HH attaf
 The policy of the company. in car rying on very extensive development work. which laid it open to criticism in some quarters. has been iL.ly jusu- fled in the valuable ore deposits which have been opened, and with each new strike the shares have shot upward. The remark is now frequently heai d that 1t is another Boston & Montana. Certainly, in market action. one is forcibly reminded of this old Boston favorite. now one of the most valua. ble properties of the Amalgamated group. "
 The company now has i've furnaces ready for use. of which four are in constant operation and the fifth Is re served for a spare. Work will be commenced on a sixth furnace imme- diateiy, so that 1t will be ready for use when the increased output of the property and Superior & Pittsburg de mand 1t. Energies are being direct.

|S FIRM ON STEERS
 LOWER ON COWS
Cattle Run Was Fairly Liberal Last Week But Shows
 Signs of Decline.
Special to Review.)

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS. Dec. s, 1e06.-The cattle run is fairly liberal this week, at 46,0O0 in three days: market steady on steers and stockers and feeders; COWS, 5 to 15c lower The run today is l5,o0o head; market weak to a shade lower. While there is no definite decline on any thing but cows, the market is not quite as satisfactory as 1t has been running heretofore. The trade has become so used to firm markets. hav- ing enjoyed them all fall, that even an argument from buyers for con- cession Is exaggerated into a feeling that the market is lower. Colorados have been coming freely this week, and sales are not much different from those of last week, except on medium
 class cows, which are lower. Eight loads of 960 pound Colorado feeders sold at s4.25 Monday. Other sales
 of stockers have been made at S3.15 tc
 s3.S5; COWS, s2.00 to S3.50; beef steers.
 $40 to s400; veals, around $500:
 canners, s1.75 to s2.25; stockers, $3.0O to s4.00; heavy calves. s3.25 to $3.9o. Short fed cattle are not coming very freely from native territory yet, and finished cattle are scarce. Four fan cy Christmas beeves sold at sT.0o here today.
 Sheep and lambs are coming in
 moderate supply; market higher Mon, day and yesterday. but a little lower today; supply, 5000 today. Fed west ern lambs have sold yesterday and to. day at $7.30 to $7.40; choice fed na- tives, s7.5o. Pea fed lambs sold late this week at sT.35 and $7.40; shipment was from San Luis Valley. Yearl'
 ings in same shipment sold at s6.5o; ewes, $5.25. This was the first stuff
 marketed from that region this sea son, and the safes were promising Some Utah stuff is still coming; grass
 sheep and yearlings, l14 pound stuff yesterday at s5.55; Utah ewes today
 at s5.10: lambs, s6.4o to s6.75. Very little feeding or stock stuff Is coming
 now, but it is easily disposed of in linn ! tied nrmbers.

EAST BUTTE.

Butte-Frank H. Probert, engineer and geologist for Thomas F. Cole and the General Electric Co, has conclud- ed an examination of the East Butte Co. mines for eastern stockholders, and his report is known to be favor able. He says the ore blocked out and in sight from 400-level up justifies erection of a 500-ton daily capacity concentrator and independent sam bling works.
 The main shaft has reached depth of 625 feet and a station Is being cut at the 600, from which another cross cut will be run north and south.
 Leasers in November paid s12,00o royalties. The treasury of the compa- ny is said to have about $150,000.

 Many of the employees of the c.

 Dec. 8, 1906.-A tremendous rifle in Warren WAS the feat ure of the trading for the close of the week. That an annouce- ment seems certain to come out regarding the sale of the townsite property within the next few days is the cause of the furry. From, $11.50 yes terday the price rapidly ad- vanced to above SIS, and at the close there are offers in plenty for the stock at $13.25. with none offered. Along with the rapid rise of Warren gain of nearly point is noted in American. Besides these two features in the market today were Keweenaw and Hancock. Each of these have scored about one point gain over yes terdsy. and are in good de- mand. Otherwise the market has been slightly off color. Greene, Central, Sup. & Pitts. Cal. & Ariz. and N. Butte dis played tendency toward weak ness. and sales in each were made below yesterdays figures. though toward the close they strengthened somewhat. At prices prevailing for the lead CTS one will not make a mis- take in purchasing, as the next sixty days will witness one of the most stupendous booms in coppers.

NORDYkE
IS GOOD

After seeing the work Of Louis
Nordyke for year, at first base
with Tacoma, it seems inconceiv-
able that McAleer Of the st. Louis
Americans will be unable to use him
at the initial sack. or some place
on the team. But such seems to be
the case at present. OF course, Nc
Aleer is not altogether losing Nor
dyke. He is merely farming the
husky infielder to the st. Paul club.
Jack Sheridan, st. Louis sporting
authority, says:
Strange there Is not man on
the team that looks so like the ag-
gressive, clever ball player as Nor
dyke, or one who handles himself
better. He has splendid face, Is
quick, aggressive and can hit. Then
he was the pick of the first base
men in the minor leagues. 1t is
strange about Nordyke. He looks
and acts the player, but they say
he cannot think inside Of his head
when things get busy around the
first sack. Yet Russ Hall told the
writer that he never say a first
baseman get into more plays than
this Nordyke."
