Today's market doesn't show much improvement over that of yesterday although offerings of stocks have been very light Everything seems to be In an unsettled condition and buyers are holding off for further deveioD- ments. Local stocks are not doing much although offerings are beins weIl taken. Calumet & Arizona fell off at the close. This stock goes ex-divi. dend on the 2sth and payable on the goth of March. Superior & Pittsbusg closed weak. The demand for North Butte was good today. sales being made at 4114 and over. but at the close weakened. Butte Coalition was in fair demand the greater part of the day. Shattuck and Denn are inactive, while American which has been so strong the greater part of the week fell off little at the close. Warren Is well taken at S13.5O. Shannon showed a loss for the day. Stock goes ex-dividend on the 18th. The Boston and New York markets at the close rallied somewhat but not enough

MINES NORTH OF YUMA.
Arizona & California Railroad Open.
 ing Great Copper District.

The mining district being opened in the northern pa~t of the county by the Arizona & California railroad is at tracing the attention of not only Ari. zona but of the whole Southwest. New camps are being continuar-- started and new mines disco-----I which will surprise the country by their size ana richness as soon ae the count,.v is tfaVerSed by branch lines of the Ari. Mfne:.
 PerhaOs the most promising strike recently made in the re~ion is that on the Palmer properties adjoining the Carrigan mines on the south. A fun. nel has been run on the deposit from a gulch about 100 feet in depth where the deposit was washed away, in which large body of copper ore Was uncovered similar to that found in tho CaTTigan and apparently equally as rich in gold. the yellow metal being plainly visible to the naked eye and just as attractive as that found in the CaFrigan about year ago. There is also good ore exposed in the Moro mines south of the Palmer and Car rigan and on the same mineral belt There is ore exposed in every shaft hole or drift on the Carrigan and Pal mer locations. Palmer and his part ners have an excellent showing in the Harcuvar mountains near Gun ningham Pass from which they are preoaring to make a carload shipment oi ore.

CANANEA-D|SBEE IS
 WAITING FOR HOSTS
Sinking Operations Practically at a StandstilI Until Heav-
 fer Machinery Arrives.

Ls Cananea--At the Cananea- -Bisbee they are pushing work along with all possible speed, but have not in the Iass week been able to make as strong q showing as previously. because of lack of hoists. which every effort Is be- ing made 10 get into the camp. When t ig considered. however, that this company has been organized less than two months and that in that time t has done total sinking of about 4e0 feet, besides building houses, making Soada and getting in & part Of their machinery. it Is very plainly eyleent that they have been moving things Fast and that they ca nlose little time nov and still hold a strong rec ord in the camp. The permanent hoist for the No. shaft was put in commission Wednesday. and sinking there will now go ahead rapidly. It was resumed Wednesday night from depth of S3 feet and fraction over six feet done for the first day. The
 No. l shaft is still sinking. though slowly 1t is down a little better than 100 feet, and 1t Is hoped that it can be kept going until it's hoist ar
 rives, which it is now expected will be
 some time during next week. No. shaft has a temporary hoist in opera tion and is down 100 feet. No. 1 and No. shafts are each down little bet ter than 60 feet. No. 6 shaft has made about 50 feet The dumps oi
 these shafts all show traces of copper. It looks, indeed. as if the ground rep iresented blanket deposit similar to those which are being worked in other iportions of the camp. This condition not only applies to Cananea-Bisbee, il may be added, but extends over the adjacent property of the South Cana nea and over other country in that
 section. The question as it presents IitseIf is therefore not so much one of finding copper as it is one of finding cooper of commercial grade. lis
 question would seem to be pretty near ly settled for Cananea-Bisbee by the
 increasing valies that have been at tained with greater depth on the SoCth
 Cananea However, depth also wii | positively tell the story on Canaaed Bisbee, and it is that the company iS going after just as fast as monsy
 brains and muscle can get there.
