On the basis OF the prices fixed by the
trading at today's meeting of the stock ex-
change the new per cent bonds OF the
Capital Traction Company are worth us. or
81 ESQ for each one-thousand-doilar bond.
While the bonds were listed for the first
time today. yet as they are not to be issued
until the first Of the coming month 1t was
understood that until that date what -
known as the rights would only be traded
in, which means the scrip certificates which
the company issues to each stakeholder at
the ratio Of 81 IN bonds for each share Of
stock.
when the trading began In the rights.
which was not until after call, an animated
scene ensued. which was suggestive OF the
days that have not been recent when trad
ing was lively and the competition between
brokers brisk and active. The most prom
inent figure In the bidding was the principal
trader In the stock. who Is classed among
the insiders in the company. He met every
bid that was made. and the figures ran up
rapidly to 1O6h, at which price sales were
made. Some of the rights also went at 106.
The same bidder also bid 1O6 for any part
OF 100000 of the new bonds. At the close
the bid was 1O7 and the asking price lOS
The level Of prices for the new securities
was higher than had been anticipated, AZ
1t was thought that owing to the condition
OF the bond market the new security would
be quoted at first at about 10S. In spite
of the rights were offered for sale, which
would seem to indicate that the stock
holders intend to take the bonds them
selves.
As 1t takes about twenty-five shares Of
stock to secure the rights to $500 bond.
which Is the lowest multiple in the new
ISSUE all holders Of smaller quantity OF
stock viii probably dispose of their rights.
IT is calculated that on the basis OF tho
price of 10S the rights attached to each
share OF stock are worth about $780,
In the course of the trading today only
one thousand-dollar lot was sold, and the
price paid for 1t was 1881. The other two
lots were for small fractions and the price
was 1851 and 1OS.
The balance Of the list was devoid of in
tel est, and In none of the active issues was
there anything In the attempts at trading
that was of particu ar interest.
A new low level was threatened In the
case of Capital Traction stock, but the in
PREVENTION of the principal trader prevented
that. as he brought up the bid to 1873 The
asking price at the close was 131. which
showed an Improvement over the figure Of
yesterday.
Another large block of the bonds of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany came on the market. and were taken
at 80, that is $4,000. and the balance Of
5000 went at an eighth Of a point In ad-
vance.

ernoon. and stated that his client would be
in court tomorrow to plead to the informa-

cAnANEA SHELTER


 !es..==..zattches s=c.s Cenanaa Mex states that an expert who has just concluded a several days visit to the plant of Greene-C -Cananea, says the re mobilization which has been going on since early in the year. and which will be completed in November, will put this smeIter in the best condition that Is possible on the present site, the area of which Is limited as to prevent the installation of much automatic equip ment that could be used to advantage in reducing operative forces.
 In this connection 1t needs be re membered that Col. w. c. Greene se- lected the present smelter site with a view to handling 300 tons of ore a day at the outside limit Since that time, seven years ago, the ore handled daily on this site has increased to about 3100 tons. In the room that he found available Shelter Superintendent Chas. F. Shelby is given credit for having installed during the last six months many interesting new mechanical de vices which are proving very valuable. Previous to his departure for the east last week. Col.

Regarding the new smelter, he said that the plans were finished and erection would commence within a few months.

MAKING A BALLOON.
The Way It Is Patched, varnished and
 Powdered.


 Powdered.
 A balloon consists of patches of cloth about a yard square sewed secure ly together. This is not because of any difficulty in making the fabric of Q globular shape, for that could easily be done If the pieces were shaped like the skin on the section of an apple
 The reason is that no absolutely re- liable fabric has yet been invented. and there is always the possibility of the balloon bursting Should this hap pen to one of these patches, the escape of gas will not be dangerously rapid. as it would be If larger sections were used.
 When the balloon is made it is care fully vanished, three coats being giv- en, and each being allowed to dry thoroughly before the next is applied. If one coat is left moist the fabric will be attacked by a species of dry rot, which will make it as fragile as the paper this is printed on In the early days of ballooning many fatal accidents were due to this defect. but now the utmost care is exercised.
 When a balloon is packed up for a journey, powdered chalk is sprinkled between the folds. as otherwise they would stick together and tear-Pear- sons Weekly

MONMOUTH pIsIRlcI.

G. c. Young of Mammoth came in Sunday afternoon and left for Risbee Monday morning. He expects to go to Huachuca to meet s. H. Shipman con cerning claims in the Mammoth dis trict
 Mr. Young has just sold twenty-two claims to Geo. l.. McKinsey, who rep rsented English capital This property adjoins the Clark-Scanlon group which was taken over by the c. & A. last fall. The deal was made on the last day of July last and the claims brought in the neighborhood of S100,000. Be sides MT. Young there were several other parties interested in the group MT. Young, however, retains 72 claims. and there is deal now on for DOT ton of this group. The names of the groups sold were known as the Navajo, Squaw and Raymond.
 Mir Young says that notwithstand- ing the present depression in copper stocks there is a good demand for properties in his Ieighborhood.
 It is understood that during the last visit of Col. L. w. Powell and Engi- neer Kemp, who was with him at the time, he stated that the property shows the best for the money spent and work done of any property in the south west. It is given out that just recent ly that he C. & A. people have made deal whereby the company now owns nine more claims adjoining the Clark Scanlon group. The property that Mir. Young and associates own lies in the shape of horseshoe around the c. & A. property.
 4 good wagon road from Mammoth to the property bought by the English syndicate has been built at a cost of S5000, and Is II miles in length. The road was finished Saturday last Mon day morning crew of 30 men were put to work driving tunnels and sink ing shafts on the property, and it is expected that within the month 100 men will be at work. It is a bonded proposition.
 There are a good many prospectors in that neighborhood at the present time.
 MT Young had just returned from the Kelvin and Ray country. He states that the Kelvin & Calumet company have the making of a wonderful prop erty. The company is now down 300 feet in one shaft and have crosscut- ted 200 feet each in four directions. all in ore. This company has ten stamp mill and a 70-ton Huntington mill, every ton of rock taken from the crosscuts going through the mills. The work being prosecuted is in solid ore and no stoping is being done at pres ent, just drift and tunnel work.
 NIT. Young came into the country about eighteen months ago and has made good use of his time and knowl- edge, and with his associates, bids fair to realize big on his holdings.
 Mir. Young also stated that the rail- road from Winkleman to Benson was an assured fact, as there were several companies operating in the district f. nancially able to build the road and were awaiting the action of the South ern Pacific in the matter.

Hard on Joseph.

Outside the photographers establish ment in the little country town stood two figures-evidently father and son. At last they went in.
 ''oi want yer to take picture of our Joseph. ere, maister," said the fond parent, and Joseph was promptly placed in a chair and requested to compose his features for awhile.
 The photographers speciality was quick developing, and soon several negatives lay before the purchaser.
 The father gazed uneasily at them for a space and then said nervously:
 You say in the window, maister, as 'ow yer can touch up the pictures to give any effect agreeable to yer GUS toner's"
 That is so," assented the artist readily. hastening to add, with his best professional smile, "but in your sons case any retouching is absolutely un- necessary"

 Hawking Then One of the Most popu-
 lar Forms of Hunting.
 Have you ever noticed a hawk soar ing and fieating high up against the sky? Have you seen him busy ap- parently fin embroidering a wonderful pattern of loops and curves. putting flu wing beat here and long float there. and then suddenly, without a moments warning, seem fairly to drop to the ground, pause 8 moment and the. ..s. --.se sicrsi;r and ay to same near by tree?
 The splendid flight was made with a purpose. He was looking out for his prey and when he saw with his keen eyes some field mouse scamper- ing across field. or tiny bird cow ertng in a bush, or picking up meal among the grass, he fell from the sky. seized the little creature and took it of in his talons to eat it at leisure fin some convenient tree
 This method of pursuing his prey was taken advantage of in the middle as.es ases and later times to nravide for man one of his most popular forms of hunting The birds were chosen with greatest care, each kind was trained to hunt for his own particu- lar sort of prey. and great parties of lords and ladies. followed by many at tendants, rode out into the fields and marshes to 'iy" their birds. as they called it, and watch them strike their quarries. ."-N.
