TORY IN new HANDS
LOCAL PLANT AND ESCANABA CON
Germ SOLD LAST SATURDAY. :,

Not Been Announced Yet and Plant
is Closed.

One Of the biggest deals ever record
ed in the woodenware manufacturing

passed into new hands. IL Is under
stood that the new owners are parties
identified with the Cuppels wooden

is the passing OF DIR. Cotton from all
interest In the company. II is under
stood that he and II. p Lucas, who has

in the timber lands and furnish timber
for the mills

and Baraboo. has given rise 10 report
that great find Of ore has been made
in that neighborhood by an eastern
corporation, whose identity is not de-
fnitely known, but which is supposed
to be one Of the Pittsburg steel com
panies For the last three years there
has been considerable drilling for ore
done in that neighborhood, and the
work was understood 20 be- for Pit
tsburg company. After persistent
drilling the company finally left with
its outfit. II was for time supposed
that the search for ore had been futile,
but within the last few days group
of eastern men has been busy In the
locality seeking options on all the
land near where the drilling was done.
They announced that they proposed 10
start a great sheep ranch there, bat it

FINAL COUNTY WILL
 HAVE BIG SHELTER
ondon-Arizona People Will Develop Dripping Springs
 On a Large Scale,

PHOENIX, April 24.-Next Monday work will commence in earnest on the property of the Londop-Arizona Cop per Company in Pirai county. Two big tunnels will be opened right into the exposed ore and a shaft will be sunk ss rapidly as possible.
 This information was given out here today by MT. O. E. Finney, who is the principal promoter of the Lon don-Arizona Company. MT. Ffnney has been in the mining business twen- ty years, and declares that he never saw a more wonderful property or one with greater possibilities than the Dripping Springs mines, as they are called.
 MT. Finney's company was origin ally the Dripping Springs Company, and was in the hands of Arizona people When outside capital was interested the London-Arizona Com pany was incorporated, to take over the property.
 The Dripping Springs mines cover 400 acres of ground, three miles north of Burns station. Burns sta tion is three miles this side of Win kleman. on the Phoenix & Eastern. For over three-quarteTs of a mile there is an exposed ledge thirty feet in width. It is directly into this ledge that the tunnels spoken of will be driven. -. l, MT. Finney has been in Los Angeles until recently and is on his way to the mines, in order to be present personally to superintend the real be- ginning of work on the property. He spent this morning in Phoenix. R. D. o. Johnson, manager Of the mines, is already on the ground.
 Plans are being laid for the con strUction of a smelter with 5000 tons daily capacity. MT. Finney states that it is his expectation that this smelter will be complete and ready to be blown in within year. It will take from four to six months to get the machinery on the ground.
 This will be the greatest smelter in Arizona, with the exception of the Copper Queen works.

MARKET Is WEAK;
 TOO MANY SELLERS
Strength of Last Few Days Disappears on Account of
 BeariSh Tendency,
CBy Frank ]. Grail

The trading Of today's market in dicates that the little strength shown yesterday was lost today and more so at the close of the market when most stocks were offered freely with few bidders in sight. Stocks ought to be bought up at this level in small lots only and advantage taken at this time. With the labor trouble practi- cally settled here and most proper ties are running full handed, do not think there will be much to fear from that standpoint. Superior & Pittsburg closed weak at $500 as well as North Butte and Coalition. Shattuck is in good demand at S30 with some coming out at $31.0o, but in small lots only. Black Mountain at the close was offered at S6.0O with no takers. Denn Arizona at the open ing was in fair demand at 5000 bid and at the close was offered at that price with bids at $975. American is firm at S9.75. Helvetia has called an assessment of 50 cents per share East Butte is firm at Sf0.00. Greene Cananea was traded in very light with few trades, very little stock coming out at or near the present quotations. New York and Boston stocks closed fractionally lower.
