LUMBER BILL FOR 1
 YEAR FOR ARIz. MINES
What It Means to the Mining Industry of This Great Territory

The mining camps of the southwest secure practically all of their lumber from east Texas and Louisiana. Since the shortage some lumber has been secured from California. Within a year Mexico will become a potent fac tor and will eventually secure the leading position in our market The present duty on lumber averages about s250 thousand feet.
 The eighteen coal mines of New Mexico in 1905, according to the de. partment of commerce and labor, had 46e 900 cubic feet of round timber, costing them on an average of 10 1-2 cents a cubic foot. and l,023 900 board feet of sawed timber. costing them SIP per thousand feet The 139 pre- cious mines of Arizona had 1,045, ,000 cubic feet of round timber at 10 cents per cubic foot and 40,4S9 900 board feet of sawed lumber costing $23 per thousand feet. In 1905 the timber in the mines of Arizona was valued at s1 .094 .O0O. Though Arizona ranks third in valuation of timber in mines she consumes relatively less than the other states. the high price that she pays for her timber making her valu. ation higher.

MARKET TRADING DULL

Shattuck & Arizona Offered Freely at S35--S, 6 P.
 Statement Expected.
CBy Frank J. Graf ]

Today's market does not show any particular encouragement and lcoks as though there was still more sell ing in sight. The market acts heavy and I do not think that all the short interests are out by any means and that the support the market has had is out of the market. Superior & Pittsburg statement is forthcoming within the very near future. but un- derstand that the same has been dis counted to a certain extent. Shat tuck-Arizona was offered freely at s35.00 During the day Denn-ATizona was in good demand and understand that at this time there were sales made at $13,00, but at the close the very best bid was $1125. Black Mountain is getting pretty close to par. Warren and American are both quiet at S11.O0 to slO.5O with no buy CTS in the market Greene Consoli- dated fell off at the close as well as Greene Cananea. Regular dividend of Nipissing will be payable on the 2Urn of April and books will close on the second. Copper metal closed weak, at 24 1-2 cents.

 The market opened weaker today and at noon most all of the stocks were on the downward course At this point, however, there seemed to De fair support and quite a few buying orders were in evidence and as a re- suit the listed issues all braced up and closed a point or better above the low mark for tbe day. Superior & Pittsburg suffered heavily today, selling down to s19.25 and looks like a snap at these figures. The re- mainder of the curbs, while weaker, show only slight change. We don't expect to see the market suffer any further setback from here and think that stocks bought at present prices will make you handsome profits. We look for a general improvement in the market tomorrow, especially in the curbs. With money at l-2 per cent we can see no reason why the better class of stocks should hover around present prices very long.

Burkman arrived in the city Tuesday. leaving yesterday for Magdalena after attending to a few matters of private business here.
 Magdalena, he says, is one of the most active mining countries he has visited in the southwest and he pre- diets that in the years to come it will rank among the greatest produc. CTS of this section in the copper indus try.
 According to MT Burkman the Black Mountain company is working a large force of men and their mill of 22O stamps is pounding out a big output of reduced ores in keeping with the capacity of the plant
 Besides the Black Mountain com. pany, the Sierra Blanco. a Los Apge les outfit, and the Sierra Prieta, own ed by Chicago capitalists, are operat

Grant McKesson is reported to have discovered group of copper claims in the country near Parker The sur face outcrop on the veins is big and the values run well in gold and cop per MT. McKesson has been at work on the mines the past two months and has made a big showing. There is great activity in that section and many mines are being proven up by companies having a large capitaliza. tiOn.
 l.. M. TeaIe returned recently from the Big Sandy country, where he went to examine a mining property recent ly located by John PenbeTthy and W. B. Stephens. He reports that the claim Is situated near the Old Dia- mond Joe mine and shows a vein about six feet in width. that outcrops for several claim lengths.
 John Boyle, Jr., came in from Ger bat Thursday evening and is attend ing to business matters. He reports the mill of the Cerbat Mountain min. ing company running smoothly and turning out large quantities of con- centrates. The run is being made on
 ores from the Idaho mine and the re suit is surprising, the product being
 far richer than was anticipated The machinery, including the big gas en,
 zine, Is working satisfactorily in ev' cry particular. The gas engine was
 guaranteed to generate power at not to exceed a given price per horse power per month and it is working under the guaranteed rate. It Is ex. pected to soon begin the reduction of the rich Vanderbilt ores and big results are predicted Water from a

NAVAJO RESERVE HAS MUCH IN
 MINERALS
Throwing Open of Reservation In Northwestern New Mexico Will Witness Rush of Pros pectorS to Vicinity,

A treaty has just been signed with the Navajo Indians through the ef- forts of special agent of the Indian office whereby their reservation in the northwestern part of New Mex ico will be thrown open to mineral entry. In consequence there will probably be a rush of prospectors to the mine deposits in the Cariso mountains which are located about sixty miles west of Pennington.
 According to the reported stipula- tions of the treaty the mineral entries will be confined to gold. petroleum and natural gas and the Indians will receive a certain percentage of roy alties. The Cariso mountains are said to be rich in gold deposits which have been jealously guarded hereto, fore by the Indians who were chary of invasion by the palefaces. There is a story that several prospectors in years gone by went into the Cariso mountains and were carrying off mug killed by tSSc Indians.
 The Navajo Indians as a tribe are quite civilized and yet they have nc tribal organization. When the pres ent treaty negotiations were begun eleven of the best educated and rep resentative Indians were selected to act for the. tribe The advantages tt be derived from having the resource: of the reservation developed were pointed out to the Indians and they finally consented to allow the filling ct mineral entries under the laws laid down by Uncle Sam.
