The old ideal OF n college president
Il seldom realized nowadays except in
some small and backward institution
Vic was rather aged and always veneer.
able. His aspect was spiritual. His
vision was fixed upon the eternal veri-
ties. He was prone to deep abstrac.
ton. He was always doctor of
divinity. He had n cloistral air and n
cloistral voice. and he was at home
only when talking on philosophy.
theology and metaphysics. The hu.
manities and the classes were his
realm and the realm of his institution.
All that has changed, declares Current
Literature. The university president
OF to-day Is "a good MIXER" as the
politicians say. He has the air of n
man of affairs. He may be venerable.
but he doesn't pride himself on the
fact and he doesn't care to look so.
He is no longer Of necessity n preach.

THE JUNCTION SHAFT.

For the last few days this mine has been taking out some very fine mala- chitte ore from the drift between the 300 and 1000 foot levels. There seems to be large bodies of it. The mine Is shipping daily about 75 tons of 16 per cent ore to the Douglas smelter and could do much better if railroad track near the mine was so it could be used; it is in process of construc- ton and in a few days several more cars can be held on the switch.
 The shaft is down 1230 feet with drifts on the ITO and 300 foot levels. At the 1000 foot levels they have a $500 gallon pump working. The ma chinery of the mine is among the best in the Bisbee district. A mighty Nor berg engine furnishes the power. It occupies a room 60x70 feet ond over 30 feet high. They have in use five
 marine 25o horsepower boilers, and
 six 150 Horsepower Atlas boilers. Two Prescott 2500 gallon pumps are now on the ground ready to be set up at
 the HOO foot level as soon as the sta. tion is completed.
 The lumber and most of the other
 material is on the ground to build new i offices. a store house, machine and other shops. These buildings will all | be of the most substantial character. The ore that is no wbeing brought
 to the surface Is of a very high grade
 and the supply can harlly be estimated

MUHfIh AND CO.
 BUY PIMA PROPERTY
Bisbee Capitalist and ASSo- ciateS Now Interested In
 Rincon Mountains.

Bisbee capitalists are beginning to invest. within the past few months, to a considerable extent in the Rincon Mountains in Pima County, section of the county which is giving much promise as copper district. The lat est syndicate to secure property there consists of the firm of Muheim & Co, They have acquired what has been known as the Mitchell group Of five claims, together with twelve more claims adjoining in the Sozo canyon in the nortn end of the Rincons, and are already working a small force of men on the property. A shaft down now 40 feet has produced over 200 tons of ore which is said to sample 30 per cent copper and SC ounces in silver. The lode lies in a lime and iron formation close to a big vault of intrusive porphyry in the limestone and gives excellent promise of turning out a regular shipper c. H. Jones, general manager of the Co c1ise, and a member of the firm of Muheim & Co, visited the property in the latter part of December. and he stated last night that he considered they had picked up one of the best properties in the territory. Ore in quantity is not only present but water is plentiful, the latter possession being a big item In Arizona. There is no timber on the property, he states, with the exception of scrub oak and fire wood, but road can easily be built in from the railroad to provide for the hauling in of timbers, lumber and ma ehinery. The property is situated east Of Tucson, in Pima county.

WEAK MARKET IS
 FEATURE OF DAY
National Exploration Name O New Rotation With Globe
 Its Home.
CBy Frank J. Graf.)

Today's market has been a dead one, with no buyers in the market and sellers galore. On top of all this a new flotation was put on the marKet under the name of the National Ex- ploration company. with property To- cated at Globe. The property, as I understand 1t, joins the Arizona Com mercial and the Globe Consolidated. The company was organized for 600- 900 shares at s1.0o per share full paid. Bisbee was allotted a few shares but the time was so limited that 1t was almost impossible to get what was wanted many not being able to get in at all.
 Cslumet & ASSznna towards the close of the EiarRet was very strong the last sale being made at s1S4.0O. Superior & Pittsburg held well the entire day and closed strong. Denn- Arizona, American and Globe were NfeleS, they'e being absolutely no trading. Warren opened strong but from all indications this was not wanted. Black Mountain showed weakness, but at the close strength ened somewhat. Wolverine < Ari- zona was well supported the entire day at $4.00, nothing coming out un. der that figure. Greene Cananea also showed strength the entire day and at the close of the market, sales were made at s23.00. Superior & Boston certificates are out on the trading market Calumet & Globe holds well at s3.50 to $4.0o. The market as a whole is rather weak, but think it Is due to the fact that the market has been somewhat over bought. or the craze is for the new stock which at the close sold at $2.o0 per share with bids out at S1.T5.

SHAREHOLDERS PROFITS IN 1907
Estitames Based on Produc- ton of 1906 and Upon Prob able SteadineSs in Price, Placed at S150,000, 900.

Sources of copper supply which were depended upon to yield in 1906 the us ual increase in yearly production have failed; labor has been sarce at the mines; fires and cave-ins have contrib uted to diminish the output. so that the mines of this country, Canada and Mexico seem to be unable to make even the slightest impression upon q world wide demand for copper which seems to be well nigh unsuitable. Even at the moment Calumet & Hecla is out of the market as a seller. and refuses to quote prices. It will not come into the market before February l.
 When it is remembered that the cop per boom of 1899 was based on a IF cent copper market artihcially main tained by the accumulation of secre' supplies, based on legitimate 25-ceni market, is explained. It is probably safe to place the mining cost or the American production of copper at 1( cents per pound, figure which means a manufacturing profit of 25o per cent when the refined product is sold for 2s cents per pound.
 The American mines, including those of Canada and Mexico, probably pro duced last year 1.150,000 pounds oi copper. This copper was sold at an average price of 19 1-3 cents per pound and there are good reasons for beliey ing that for 1907 the average may bt as high as 25 cents, judging by the present anxiety of manufacturers tc cover their requirements well into next summer at this figure
 If the 25-cent figure prevails the fol lowing income account" for the veal 1907 may be realized:
 1,200 ,0e0, 900 pounds sold at p cents $500, ,0o0, 900.
 Mining cost at 10 cents per pound $120, ,0o0, 900.
 Mining profits, siSo,OOO.0OO.
 Construction, improvements, df., s30,000, 900. A-E -..-.
 Profit for shareholders, sl50, ,00O, ,000
 The above profit of s150.000. .00' is 10 per cent on 1,500, ,000, 900 of capi tai.
 In this connection it Is interestint to know that thirty-five copper stock traded in on the Boston stock eA change, some of which, however, ar not active producers, are today sellin for approximately s775.000;00o, an 1T crease of s26s. .000, 900 the past twelv months. The combnied output o these properties is at the rate of 800 000,000 pounds per annum.

ARROhAA DISPOSES
 OF SHELTER STOCK
c, E. Finney of Prescott and Humboltr Sells Interest in
 Reduction Co,

c. E. Finney, vice president and general manager of the NAlkzona Smelling company, has disposed or and rendered his resignation, to take effect on February l.
 MT. Finney returned recently from New York, says the Jounal Miner. When asked, last evening, if tine Shelter Trust representatives had se- cured any of his stock he said
 You can authoritatively state from me that the agents of the trust did not secure, he stock or its control. l had an opportunity of disposing of my in- terests at a good figure. and sold out. I do not know who my successor will be in the management of the con cern."
 Asked as to his plans for the future, Mr. Finney said: T am not going to leave the Territory for year or two yet. This is a country of wonderful mineral possibilities and I. while l do not care to discvuss my future plans, am free to admit that have no inten- tion of leaving Arizona"
 MT. Finney's advent into the Terri tory in July, 1905, when the construc. tion of the smelting plant at Hum boldt was commenced, marked a new era in the development of the re sources of not only Yavapai county but Northern Arizona, as well. When he arrived the output of the mines of Yavapai county, leaving the United Verde Copper company's mines, al Jerome, out of consideration, amount ed to only about twenty tons of ore and cncentrates a day, and now, after period of only eighteen months has elapsed, and nine months after the great plant was blown in, there is being delivered, every tventy-foul hours, at Humboldt, shipments which amount to from 400 to 500 tons. With it's present capacity the annual pro duction is now estimated at s3,50000C and In the next eighteen months, with | its capacity being increased as fas I as furnaces and machinery can be de livered and installed, the annual out I put will amount to over s70,000, GOO.

 NEW YORK-The market closed strong and generally higher overcom- ing all the early weakness and hesita- tion. Trade was ona largely increased scale and contrary to what we have had several days, the market did DC lapse into dullness on the first sign of strength. The rally which devel- oped has been several days overdue and the close tonight indicates sone further advance. We do not, however, feel safe in advising purchases of stocks on the upturn. We rather in cline to the idea that this rally at the shorts Is forced and stocks accumu- lated will be for sale at higher level. The situation Is nervous and unset tied and the market has been too sick to recover permanently all at once

The supposed ieai T sJcck 8 such as Allouez, Cont, Osceola Tama- rack and Royal were being pIcl.el up by strong interests all day and at considerable advances from yester- days close. Quincy was a strong fea- ture on scattered buying and rumors of ali the way from 4 to 5 dollars di- vidends at forthcoming meeting. The copper market cei laiRly acts good an dwould respond quickly on any better feeling in New York but we do not like the looks of that situation right now and believe 1t will sell lower.
