IMPROVEMENT MARKS
 CLOSE OF THE WEEK
Graf Not Sanguine of the Sta, bility of Last RiSe-FearS
 Slump Again,
CBy Frank J. Graft

The close of the week shows consid- eFable Improvement over that of yes terday, although l do not think 1t is here to last and that there is a good chance to see lower prices in the listed stocks. Calumet & Arizona made good gain over that of yester- day. Superior & Pittsburg closed strong. North Butte showed the larg- est gain of the list closing at s95. 5.00 Shattuck-Arizona is in fair demand all though the market is so limited for this stock that the least bidding will put the market uD five points. Bids were strong today at s3S and offered at $40. Denn-Arizona was on good de- mand and closed at S13.5o bid with little coming out at s13.75. Warren and American fail to show any ad- vance and are lifeiess. East Butte is in good demand at s12.00. Greene Csnanea was the most sought after stock on the list closing at s17.50 to $1S.00. Denn Development was in good demand at S5O.00.

ACTIVITY IN HE
 BLACK HILLS DIST.
Mining Men Declare Prospects Are of the Best and Sec
 ton Is Lively.

Prescott people and the public in general will awaken to the fact that there are mines in the Black Hills and Mineral Point districts in very short time although there is no- boom there now" said Willis Dine, mine owner rom that region, to Journal, Miner man.
 "The Peters brothers are taking out high grade silver ore from their mine which they intend to ship to the Humboldt smelter as soon as a car load accumulates on their dump, and the Black Mountain Mining company is also taking out good ore a. the new shaft being sunk on the Black Hills mine"
 Questioned as to the progress being made in the development of his own mine, Mir. Dine said:
 My shaft is sunk 10 a depth oi 160 feet, and can show you two foot paystreak Of copper ore that will sample 13 per cent in the bottom of it. The same ore body is opened in the drifts from the 50-foot level where it samples from 13 to IS per cent copper. I am making prepara tions to take out shipment from the drifts in the lower level. from which I expect good returns, as the ore carries good values in gold and silver as well as copper MT. Dine left yesterday for his camp which is located in the Black Hills range. about eight miles easl of Jerome Junction.

The talk about the mine taxes re wives interest in a subject in connec- tion with mines. that has no connec- ton whatever with the issue under dis cussion, but which is nevertheless worthy of careful consideration. The subject referred to Is a change in the law concerning the annual assessment work on prospects. and the father of the idea Is Charles NJ. shannon of Ora ham county.

New Owners of Group Have Faith in Claims-Rich Is Reported Strike In the Har- qua Hala District,

PRESCOTT, March I6.-Althougn snly opened to a depth O. 150 feet, sn offer of s1 900. 900 was refused re- gently by the owners of the Ironwood and Arizona group of mines in the HarQua Hala district. according to the statement of County Surveyor F. w. Latimer. who returned Tuesday from a professional trip to that sec tion.
 Miners of the district MT Lati- mer said. "are much excited over the rich strike of sulphide ore re gently made in the Ironwood and Ari- zona and I was informed by good au- thority the day before I left for home that the owners had refused S1 ,000, ,00a for the group. which consists of 1wen- weight claims. I understand that the shaft in which the great ore body was encountered was only about l50 feet in depth, but the size of the new find has not yet been demonstrated.
 That the district is rich one continued MT. Latimer, goes witA- out saying. Every way you turn mines are found working in all con -,eeivable- stages of development. ana miners, prospcctors and prospective investors are swarming into the coun- : try every day.
 For miles around the Harqua Hala mines the entire country is located and the activity in the district beats anything I ever saw. completed a contract for the surveying of seventy claims for patent. and I would stay there indefinitely in nay professional capacity if not called home on lm' portant business"
 The Ironwood and Arizona mines are located about fifteen miles west of Salome in the Harqua Hala range The transfer of the property to an eastern syndicate took place only g few months ago, when active opera tions were commenced. The consiG eration was a mere bagatelle com pared with the princely offer which the new owners are said to have re fused only a few days ago. When taken over by the concern now en gagged in its deveiooment 1t was con sidered fair prospect for copper mine but the high grade sulphide ore recently encountered takes it iron the prospect class and gives it 6 cleal title toa place among the best in the territory. allowing that reports re ceived here of the new find in | are true.

Fluctuations should continue feverish with tendency toward normal. The rally trend has not completed. but t is unlikely that any bull market will be permitted as yet. Insiders dons wish to eliminate at once the strength of the shortage. which will probably be catered 10 by irregular operations, and more than that, they will not permit the list to run away from in yestors. who are not likely to follow up sharp advances from these prices. Purchases therefore, on reactions, will give the best satisfaction and we would operate the bul side for turns. Investors should continue to buy ana add to purchases on scale down.
 New York wires: President Roose- welt is preparing a statement bearing on the financial sitution. which may be given out later In the day. He went over draft of the statement, this morning with James Speyer. of the firm of Speyer & Co, bankers of New York. Mir. Speyer is said to have approved the statement and urged its publication.

MARKET LETTER.

March Is. Coppers. both listed and unlisted, not only sustained their marked gains recorded yesterday, but manag- ed to take on additional ad- vances that make prices of only a few days ago look un- believeable. However, the re- covery Is still long way from being in proportion to the slump sustained while the pan icky conditions prevailed. It
 will require some little time for the situation to adjust itself to that extent which will allow stocks reaching reasonable values. and in the meantime there will be times when pur- chases can be made at levels that will give the buyer big handsome profits and these opportunities should be taken advantage of by the trader. The stocks showing the most strength at the close of this week in which local interest is mostly centered are Shat tuck. Denn, Denn Mining, Butte Coalition. Superior & Pittsburg. Copper Range and the Cananea issues, and indica- tions point strongly toward an even firmer market for these stocks during the com ing week. 4

 The market made rapid and sub stantial recovery today, closing strong and indications are for a con tinued advance for the beginning of the next week. There may. and like ly there will be recessions, but pres ent prices are safe and the dividend paying stocks bought now will be great winners. Among these may be mentioned Calumet & Arizona. Ana conda. Amalgamated and Shannon. The development stocks will give good account of themselves in due time, such as Warren, Denn, American, Vol yerine & Arizona and Butte 6 Ari- zona.

American Medicine comes 70 the fore
with structures upon the praise given
to Japan on her supposed excellence In
the matter Of sanitation In the war
with Russia. This paper asserts that
the statistics Of death from bullets
ard disease In the japanese army.
showing the small proportion Of the
latter, were misleading. Foreign milf
tary attaches report that the neglect OF
sanitation at the front was notorious
and that absence Of deadly epidemics
was solely due TO the wide area over
which the troops spread and frequent
moves OF the army. The soldiers ran
away from their own polsons." In
support Of this 1t appears that among
the troops kept at home in Japan near
ly 100000 were sent to the hospitals.
TO quote:
The Japanese death rates win never be
known. The strength OF the field armies
has never been divuiged. and the total
and pFoportionata number OF sick and
wounded are so adversely and ouriouHly
stated a. to be incomprehensible. But
even the available statistics do not bear
out the early reports, The sick record
was not very good, and the number of
killed in action was apparently very high,
20 that not good sanitation, but oriental
slaughter. reversed tho death rates.
This authority goes on to assert that
physicians have nothing to learn from
the japanese war. II says:
Tho publications Of their surgeons are
very disappointing In their childlike sim
plicity. They have merely copied the elo-
ments of sanitation of the occident. The
masses OF lire officers and soldiers were
ignorant OF even the fundamentals. Any
one who knows the nation could have
predicted that much. The reports OF SUI
porhuman intelligence arc pure myths.
the blinking owl has a great reputation
for wisdom he does not possess
Figures emanating from Japanese
headquarters tend TO prove deaths
from disease were practically the same
as in every war, but that the killed
were three times as numerous as In
European wars.
