 NEW YORK.-The volume of busi- ness transacted on the New York Ex- change today was the largest for some years, if not the largest since the record days of 1901.

In the midst of the depression Reading was taken iii hand and advanced rapidly II points. turning the market into a bear manic. Many rumors were advanced for the sudden burst of ctrength in Reading, all dealing with change of control. All departments of the market suffered severely in the early dip. copners breaking badly. We have had yio- lent setback. and even at the closing tonight, with tho market substantially higher than the low point. the general list Is still very much lower than the level which prevailed a week or two ago. Many of the transportation stocks are =elling at an attractive level. The industrials were never more prosperous than they are -t this time. The short interest is still large. and far less confident than they were last night

FESTERLING IS VICTIM IF
 THEFT
Systematic Raids on His Store of Money and stocks Ends In Loss to Him of Butte 6 Ari- zona Certificates.

The victim of money thefts on two different occasions HithfIS the past few weeks. and lastly robbed of two cer- tificates, each for 100 shares of Butte & Arizona. Edward Festerling, a miner, finally reported his misfortunes to the police. who are now working on a clue to the thief.
 Ed Weiss, next door roommate of Fostering, was suspected by the lat ter and a search warrant issued out of Justice Burdick's court yesterday morning. A thorough search of Weiss room as well as his person by Officer Wilmoth failed to reveal any of the stolen goods.
 Weiss. who rooms next to Festerl- ing at the Victor lodging house in
 Brewery Gulch, is said by Festerling to have entered the latter's room in the absence of its occupant and bor- rowed such things as he desired, but so far as Fostering knew, had always
 returned the borrowed articles. 1t
 was common for Weiss, it is said, to
 make use of Festerling's razor at times
 when Festerling was out of the house.
 This naturally lead Festerling to
 suspect that Weiss might be the one
 who had gained possession of his lost money. Later developments showed Weiss to be spending much time about the gaming tables in the principle gambling houses, and this lead to his being put under the surveillance of the officers with the result noted above. On the frst occasion when he miss ed anything, Festerling discovered that he was short the sum of S25 which he had left in his room. A later theft netted the room thief $50. Then Festerling made up his mind that he would mark some coins and set de- coy for the one who was victimizing
 him. He failed to do so and his next loss was the two Butte & Arziona cer- tifiicates. They are certificates No. 1895 and 1896 and are for 50 shares each. At the present price of Butte & Arizona this would make Festerl- ing's loss one of S250.00.
 While the officers are still on the
 case, there is little hope that they will apprehend the real culprit. Fes~ terling has tak-, steps to prevent the transfer of the stock, and if he can prove his identity and ownership of
 the missing certificates will have no

BOARD IF TRADE ELECTS NEW
 OFFICERS
Annual Meeting of Local BuSi- ness Mems Organization Shows Pleasing Results to Its Members.

The annual meeting of the Bisbee Beard of Trade was held yesterday at the boards offices in the Schmid building. A full attendance was present. and the following officers were elected:
 George Buxton. president; c. W. Mckean. vice president; Charles A. Hall. secretary; F. E. Coles. treas urer. and J. P. Christian. traffic man. ager of the freight bureau
 With the exception of Vice Presi. dent McKean. the others were re- elected to fill the offices in which they have served since the inception of the organization.
 An executive committee was added to the organization of the board at yesterdays meeting. and E. T. Wil liams, of the E. 4. Toyrea company, c. W. McKean and G. E. Buxton were appointed as it's members.
 Two committees were appointed to look after matters of legislation favor. able to the mercantile business. and they will busy themselves at once in bringing before the present legislature bills intended to operate to the advan. tage of Boards of Trade. as we'll as in- dividual merchants.
 The report of the insurance commit, tee was read and approved. The in. surance committee of Bisbee's Board of Trade has done material good for its members in that it has rendered great assistance to individual mem bers in wedding out the irresponsible and so-called "welcher" companies and skeeping the safe and liberal com. panies before the holder of insurance policies. The work of this committee was particularly beneficial immediate ly after the San Francisco disaster, nearly a year ago. Since that time the bad class of insurance companies has had hard TOW to hoe in Bisbee's commercial business.
 The report of MT. Christian. mana, ger of the freight bureau. was receievd with qualification on the part of the members. While this bureau has been in existence but a few months. the amount saved to local merchant. in the correction of freight charee errors and their adjustment has more than paid for the expense of the bu, reau. It was shown by the report that in the last two months S4,000 ir claims were presented in behalf of local merchants. Of this amount not less than 25 per cent has been rebated on overcharges. and a large part of the claims are still pending. When it is taken into consideration that the cost of maintenance of the bureau is probably little more than $200 per month. the advantages are readily seen and appreciated by the merchant.
 Members of the board state that all are highly pleased with the results of work started for the common good of all retailers

EXPERT INVESTIGATES 1UCSON'S WATER
 PROBLEM
E. J, Fischer of Los Angeles at Tucson to Report on
 WaterWorkS.

TUCSON, March 6.-To investigate the sources of water supply for Tucson and to determine whether the plan proposed to be followed in the event that the taxjayers vote for S260. .000 worth of bonds for the improvement of the water department of the city is best, F. J. Fisher, chief engineer of the Los Angeles water department has arrived in the city from Los An geles. t.
 MT. Fisher is one of the best known engineers in the West and his report will be awaited with much interest. He has been connected with the Los Angeles water department for the past IS years.
 He has recommended a bond issue for Los Angeles Of s23, 3,000, GOO for the improvement of the water service there Is what is known as the Owens river project.
 This amount relatively considering the size of Los Angeles and Tucson is several times larger than the amount proposed for Tucson
 In the Owens river project prepara- tion is being made for the future and if the project there goes through that city will have no need to worry about water supply even though it would grow to double it's present population of 240,000.
 It is likely that MT. Fisher will be here for a week and probably longer. He will go over all the details of the proposed improvement of the water system here and will make complete report. His services were secured in response to demand that the report of an outside water works expert be given to the taxpayers before the bonds should be voted upon.

V|LLAREAL SEEKS REFUGE IN
 CANADA
Mexican ReyoIutionist Is On Vessel Bound For Quebec. Took Freight Train Out of Fl Paso.

EI PASO, Tex, March 6.--Shipped before the mast on board wind tanner bound from New Orleans to Canadian points. Antonio villareal IS now on the high seas. with Quebec as his ultimate destination.
 This is the starement of his friends, who have today received letters from the political refugee. mailed in New Orleans. and telegrams from reyoIu- tionic sympathizers at that place. The dispatches received this morning were in cipher. and related that Villa real had left that port on board a sailing ship. loaded with freight for Canadian points.
 The story told by the letters written by Viliareal himself Is that when he had successfully eluded the officers :n Fl Paso. he had concealed himself On the smelter road. and later iD the night. under cover of darkness. had caught an east-bound Southern Pacific freight train. transferred in eastern Texas to a regular passenger train. and thus reached New Orleans.
 There he was concealed by friends. who smuggled him aboard one of the regular freighters plying to Canada. and shipped him on that boat yester- day. when it cleared the port. If this is true the man much wanted by the Mexican auInoriues is now on the high seas. beyond the reach of the law either of Mexico or the United States. where it would take fleet of war boats to conduct an interminabie search in an effort to, locate one sail ing vessel out of the myriads on the Atlantic in the track of craft bound for the north.

HE DISCOVERED THE SALTON
 SINK
Geologist Now Spending Win
 ter at Tucson Was With Railroad Party When nBe- low Sea Level" was Found.

Prof. William P. Blake, the well known geologist. who is spending the winter in Tucson. was the origi- nal diseoverer of the Salton Sea, says the Citizen Although Professor Blake has been in the West for many years this fact has been known to but few.
 Prof. Blake discovered Salton Sea fifty-four years ago. It was while travelling across the California desert seeking the most available route for the Southern Pacific railroad to the coast that he and his party made the discovery.
 At that time there was 10 water in the sink. but there were evidences that the basin had previously been filled.
 It was by means of the barometer that the discovery was made that the bain was below the sea level. At this time it was not known that any portion of the country was be- low sea level. although since a re zion has been found in Nevada below the sea level also.
 When the barometer showed that the basin was below the sea level sey- eral of the party declined to believe it. Prof Blake stated.
 When an exploration of the basin was made several places were found whree the water line showed dis tinctly
 Prof. Blake stated that Indian tra. ditions bore out his belief of the ex. istence at one time of an inland sea. He told of meeting which was held one evening with the Indians. Through on interpreter the Indian chief told the party that the sink had been filled with water. and that the water gradually got lower and lower until it disappeared entirely.
 Prof. Blake stated that he had no doubt that the Saltop Sea was at one time the head of the Gulf of CaIifor. nia- He explained that it was shut off from the gulf eventually by a bar which was formed from the de posits of silt of the Colorado river.
 He stated that a wierd feeling

TRA|NMASTER HOUSTON RESIGNS FROM f. P.
 B 5. W.
w, G,Roe Succeeds Him. The DiSpatCherS Office Will Be
 Moved,

Shakeups generally are taking place in the eastern division office of the Southwestern says the Fl Paso Her aid, the most startling information to be spread in railroad circles being the resignation of trainmaster c. W. Hous- ton, who has been with the division for some time. He is succeeded by w. G. Roe, who was on the 14th of last month made assistant trainmaster of the division. The office of assist ant trainmaster was created upon the appointment of MT. Roe to the place few weeks ago and it is now abolish ed under orders from superintendent l.. U. Morris, approved by general manager H. J. Simmons.
 Chief Dispatcher G. J. Williams of the eastern division, will leave with the first trick men and they will take charge of the work at Carrizoz at the new headquarters.
 The dispatchers were to begin to leave for Carrizoz last Saturday night but on account of the quarters for the men not being in readiness the time of leaving was postponed. The dis patchers will be stationed in the sec tion foreman's house, which has been remodeled for the dispatch and train masters office.
 The present depot at Carrizoz is not large enough to accommodate the men. but it is thought a new depot will be erected before long.
 General foreman of bridges and building and water service, J. c. Ryan. of the eastern division, and roadmas- ter P. Lynch will move their offices hn sN11 l to the eastern divisions office this week and will occupv the snace va cated by the dispatchers. This will facilitate matters considerably by hay. ing these two offices in the same build ing with that of the division superin tendent ..
 Timekeepers c. w. Parham, and E.. l.. Ashley will not be moved to Garriz. os for at least two months and they will Dossibly be kept here permanent. lIv. It was at first intended to take them along with the dispatchers. MT. Houston said:
 'T cannot say anything about my fu- ture plans for what I might give you would be incorrect. Whether or not i will be connected with the Southwest. ern in future I am not in a position to state"
 Several rumors were af1oat in rail. road circles this morning with regard tn what Mir. Houston's position with the road will be. Some declare that he will be kept in the service of the road and that his resignation is in- cideut to the anDointment Of superin- tendent L. U. Morris to the eastern division. Others declare that Mir. Houston is slated for the superintend- ency of the western division while sin others state that F. B. Rinp. chIef clerk to general manager H. J. Sim mons. is booked for the place and will be appointed as soon ss he rAcuperates at his parents home in Austin.
