R.&A. NINE WILL INCREASE
 OUTPUT
Small Block of Stock Offered For Sole Purpose of Erect ing New Mill on Property Near MorriStown.

Harry Bennett. superintendent of the Buffalo & Arizona mine, 8 few miles north of Morristown, announces that the company having thoroughly prospected the property and satisfied itself of its value, is now preparing Tor operations on a larger scale. Here tofore it has been in a sense a close corporation. That there has been no effort to sell stock, the money for development to date having been fur nished directly from the pockets of the promoters. The mine is now opened up to a depth of 300 feet and Is equipped with a good plant and is out of debt
 It Is appreciated though, that the plant is too small to do extensive work or return dividends. though the ore values have proved to be all that was expected. It is a sampling or testing plant rather than a reduction plant as the mill is only a two stamp construction. There is a twenty horsepower boiler and a fifteen horse mower hoist and a Western gas en- zine in commission, ample for some time yet, but larger mill is desired. The ore has been somewhat deyel- oped by workings on the 100. 200 and 300 levels, sufficient to show the con tainuity of the veins as well as their value and the company now believes that not only 8 safe thing to do but the only thing to do is to erect a larger plant
 It has therefore authorized Mir. Ben nett to dispose of 10000 shares or such part of it as he may see fit, but no more than that, at the par value, $1 per share, the proceeds to be used for no other purpose than making these improvements. None of the company officials have seen it to visit the property for a year and a half, having been satisfied with Ar. Bennett's management and it is not designed now to enter upon a stock selling campaign. The matter is merely left in Mir. Bennett's hands to handle as he sees fit, under the re- striefions above named The mine is at point where 1t can be developed as the ore is needed. with little extra expense and the money now sought to be raised will only provide the machinery for entering upon this ex- .ploitation.

PAYMAsTER MINE
 MAY SOON RESUME
Plans Now On Foot To Open Up This Excellent Silver
 Lead Mine.

There is an excellent prospect that the Paymaster mine. which has been idle for the past two months will again resume operations on an ex- tensive scale within the next few weeks
 It was learned today that negotia- tions are now under way looking to- ward the resumption of work at the mines. and it is stated that eastern capitalists are anxious to secure an interest in this property. A repre- sentative of these parties is in the city and has had several conferences with the local people who are inter ested in the Paymaster.
 The Paymaster mine is one of the best silver and lead propositions in this county, and was located original ly by Nick Corda and Luke Corda. who have been engaged in mining in this section for more than quarter of century
 Great quantities of ore have been taken out of the property and to the smelters, yielding ex cellent returns. It is stated that in one year the profits of the company amounted to s37, 7,000. The deepest workings of the company are near the 400-foot level. There are excel lent copper indications on the lower levels and it is believed that good copper ore will be found on the prop erty.-Tueson Citizen.

Small squads of men around the reduction works and also at the mines have received their time cheeks and it is a fact that practically all de yelopment and outside work has been cut out The Arizona Copper and the shannon company, together with the Detroit Copper company at Morenci, have expended thousands of dollars during the past two years in their equipment and development work and it can be truthfully said that they have enough ore blocked out in re- serve to carry them over for some time While a good many men have received their time, the output of the various companies will not be cur tailed enough to be noticed.

WORSE AND WORSE,
 AND MORE OF T
Failure of Knickerbocker Trust Company Was a Great
 Shock To Confidece.
(Ry Frank J. Graf.l

The condition oF the market grows worse, and from all indications we might expect to see more. This, however, is not consoling, but we had better take matters as they are and make the best of it. All stocks were more or less affected the entire day and selling was forced from the early morning, very likely from those that covered the day previous, but to- ward the close stocks were strength ened again by short coverings. The copper market has not strengthened in the least and copper stocks seen new low prices. Amalgamated, North Butte, Butte Coalition and Range were the heaviest sufferers. The To- cal market is at a standstill with very little stock being offered at or near present quotations. It would appear that stocks bought at this level ought to make good money for purchasers
 New York wires: The heavy break in stocks here was precipitated by the failure of the Knickerbocker Trust Company an institution supposed to be free from the Morse institutions. The failure was a shock and took the public by surprise. Confidence in the financial situation has become thor. oughly shattered. as it is impossible to state at this writing where there will be another outbreak of serious failures.
 It is the time for cool and conser- Yatiye action and judgment Specu- iatiye operations in the market should be at a minimum Undoubtedly bank CTS will endeayor to hold securities and prevent any bad or serious slump in values other than we have had inI today's market. Lower prices how ever, seem certain in view of matt ters
 Boston wires: The bank situation in New York is still in a tangle and fresh developments come out every few minutes. The KnickerboekerI Trust Company was the second Iarg- est in New York with sixty millions deposits and it's suspension was great shock to confidence.
 The local market acted splendidly and the ecppers appear sold out North Butte was the weakest feature On few large selling orders and small support. Range seems to be in a firm position with large short interest to protect it We feel that the whole situation will get cleared up soon and confidence restored.

STRIKE IN OREGON SHAFT.

CLIFTON. Oct. 22.-Some excel lent native copper rock was recently struck in the Oregon shaft, which is being worked by the Clifton Gold & Copper company. It will average about , to per cent copper. The extent of the strike is not yet proven but fl a permanent and large body of this ore could be struck it would be the best milling proposition in Arizona. It could be run through a mill producing copper 99 per cent fine without smelt- ing.

The Copper King mine, owned by the New England and Clifton Copper company. has ceased operations and things in that end of the camp have quieted down considerably. By the closing of the Copper King mine a large number of men have been put out of employment as well as num- Der of ore wagons being put out Of commission. A large amount of ore has been piled up in North Clifton and will be smelted at the Shannon in the near future. The close down is indefinite and unless the price of copper reaches a high level chances are that this property will remain idle. Should a smeiting plant be put up by the New England company no doubt the Copper King will be work ed again. Other claims owned by the New England company are being operated.

 Today's declines were due to forced liquidation and the active listed stocks all suffered.

How the students of Stanford Uni

dreds of athletes and spectators that
will journey to the second annual in
terscholastic field day on March % is
a question that is giving no end of

day is now a thing of the past" as far
as supremacy is concerned. For years
this semiannual field day has been
looked upon as a great high school

the first week of the spring training
season ended. the San Francisco, Seals
are rounding nicely into shape. Al
though the work has been hampered
to some extent by the failure of some
of the players to put in an appear
ance. it has been very encouraging.
During the early part of the week
inclement weather kept Captain Moh-
Ter and his mon indoors during the
morning hours. but now that the rain
clouds have disappeared two gingery
workouts of about three hours each
and showers and rubdowns constitute
each days training routine. The
grounds are kept in nice condition,
the players feel justified in exerting
themselves.
Not until the first of next week will
any pretense at picking the final line
up of the team be made. OF the six
teen players now in the squad, many
have little hope of getting anything
more than a try-out There are prom

too light for Coast League timber,
