ing Steel Common at an advance
over the market for cash stock.
well informed men in the steel
business say that Steel Common
will sell at par within five years,
and probably sooner. Steel Pre-
ferred has long been recognized
as an out and out investment,
and Steel common will before
ong assume defnately an invest
ment character.
The copper market is still dull.
Henry H. Rogers admits that too
much copper is being mined. He
said this week that the copper
production was now actually
larger than it was a year ago.
Prosperity must reach flood tide
before copper metal improves
materially in price and copper
stocks become strong.
Holders of good "coppers"
need have no fear, however, of
lower prices in these stocks.
Copper is staple which is being
consumed faster than good new
mines are being found and
opened. The depression in cop
per is only temporary.
Goldfield stocks, particularly
Combination Fraction are gain
ing. The reported strike in
Fraction has caused a doubling
of the market value of the stock.
Jumbo Extension is much strong
er on the reported settling of the
Apex difficulties, and Kawanas
on reported improvement in the
condition of the mine. | have
for several weeks been calling
attention to the possibilities for
profit in purchasing Fraction.
EsperanZa continues the

mines traded in on the London
market. It's strength seems to
indicate important developments
In the new ore bodies recently
opened up. 1t is clear that Es-
peranza is now selling considera-
bly, above it's value unless the
new ore bodies have added riches
about which the stockholders and
the public have not been in
formed. The continued advance
in the stock on the London mar
ket seems to lend force to the
theory that the new ore on the
oo0 and 9O0-foot levels has been
developing we'll.
The Tintics are resting after
their decided advance. Sioux
rise has been stopped by profit
taking. Colorado is now the
strongest of the Salt Lake City
list.
The Cobalts continue firm
under the leadership of La Rose.
Cobalt is making stunning pro-
duction, and, with the slowly
improving prices for silver, is
getting more for its output.
Cobalt is one camp which is in a
large degree satisfying the ex-
pectations of the public, albeit
the public got into many Cobal t
enterprises at shamefully high
prices. Not all the good ground
in the Cobalt camp has been de-
veloped yet. Several more good
mines will be made there.
Quanajuato Consolidated is
close to a dividend announce
ment. Manager Jos. Mcdonald
has reduced the costs below 81. so

will pay its first dividend this
fall.

Queer Franks.

Daring the storm of Tuesday
lightning played peculiar prank
on Mr.. Chas. Herrod's place, north
of town. The bolt struck the chin
ney on the kitchen, tearing it
down and damaging the house
otherwise, then it jumped over to
the other side of the building and
killed six hens that were on the
ground, burning all the feathers of
of one, and following a wire clothes
line, melted the wire and burned
up an entire washing that had been
put on the line early in the day.
No one was in the house at the
time or they would no doubt been
seriously injured.

Miss Nellie Tyler Accepts
Position In Public School.

Miss Nellie Tyler, who for four
years has had charge of the pri-
mary department of Norman Insti-
tute, left Monday for Fitzgerald
where she goes to accept position
as teacher in the public school OF
that place.
Miss Nellie is one of the finest
primary teachers in the state, and
we consider Fitzgerald fortunate in
securing her services. Few teach
ers have had more positions tend
cred them this summer than hss
Miss Nellie.
She is no stranger to the people
to whom she goes, having taught
there before, and, while we regret
to give her up, and feel that our
loss will he great, we wish her sue
cess in her new home.
Miss Tyler has, among her other
duties, been actively engaged in
religious work, and loved by all
the children, and with sad little
hearts they bid her adieu Sunday
afternoon. Norman Park Press.

VIII Adopt Cash System.

The cash system adopted by a
large number Of merchants and
business men seems to be working
admirably and is proving highly
satisfactory to business and pat
rons. On October LIST the Central
Meat Market will adopt the cash
system, believing that it is best for
all CO, cerned. The credit system
in a business of the kind means
large increased expenses and con-
sequently higher prices. Every
merchant who sells on credit must
take into calculation his losses
when he prices his goods, and in
the long run the honest customer
paws for the losses OF the merchant
fails. Some people will not pay
even for their food, and others arc
so slow that the expense Of collect
ing is about equal so the expense
running the shop. The customer
who pays cash ought not to be re-
quired to pay credit prices, aud
we can sell much cheaper on the
cash system which ought to be ap
preciated by all honest people. On
the cash system We all get u fair
and square deal.
We ask our many customers aid
friends to consider we'll these few
points and continue with us anil
we will show you the benefit of the
change. w. V. CHURCH,

Copper Queen Goes to New Company.

A dispatch from New York of D. cember 12th says the old copper firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, which tor years has been one of the important factors in the international copper market, will go out of business on January 1. In its stead will be form ed a neT copper combination with a capital stock of s5O,OOO, 900 to take over all the mines and other inter- ests of the partnership.
 The new combination will take the name of Phelps, Dodge x Co incOr- porated, and will take over the Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining con- pany, the Montezuma Copper com pany, the Detroit Copper Mining company of Arizo Ia and the Star Canon Fuel company. The old firm will transfer it's metals, selling busi- ness and its good will to the corpora tion without charge and go into liquidation.
 The majority of the capital stock of all the companies is now owned by James Douglas, Cleveland H Dodge, Arthur c. Gaines, James Mclean ana their families. It is proposed to list the new stock on the New York and Boston stock exchanges and offer ii to the public.

Excelsior Pushing Work on Tunnels.

D. NJ. Clark arrived last week from the Excelsior group of mines in the Walnut Grove district, where he and his partner, John Brady, finished two new camp buildings. He is arrang- ing to start sinking new shaft and resume work on one of the tunnels now in 100 feet.
 Clark is very jubilant over the pros pect of opening large ore body in the tunnel. The paystreak is six feet thick in the face, carrying fair values in gold. \
 The property is situated nine miles southeast of Kirkland, three miles northwest of the Monica mine and a mile south of Moore's spring. It was discovered and located by Brady six years ago. Clark's pur- chase of an interest followed a tEOr- ough examination made of the ledges covered by the locations last year. There is 700 feet of development on the group in shafts and tunnels, with promising ore showings in every opening.

Million Dollar Deal.

l. The Globe Belt reports that the In spiration properties have been option ed to New York parties. It is re. ported that the deal called for the i payment, by December s, of S250,OOC for development work, and the further payment for development work and equipment, within two years, of STOOD
 The plan for reorg 1nization con- templates the issuance of one million shares at Sl0 par value. Four hun. dred thousand of these shares are to go to the purchases, 300,OO0 to the stockholders of the old company, and 3O0.00) into the treasury, with the purchasers holding two-year option upon them at par.
 The plan of distribution to the old stockholders will be one share for ten.
 The deal is the achievement of Thomas Kavanaugh, of Tucson, who recently visited the property with Henry Krumb. d well known mining engineer.
 The property owned by the Inspira- tiOn Mining company, of which J. D.. Coplen is president and general man. ager: J. B. Coplen, superintendent, and E. F. Wilder, of Kansas City, secretary, was located by Bud Wood son, William Beard and Charles Holz- man, who sold it to J. D. Coplen, MT. Coplen organizing the company of which he became the head.
 The Inspiration, situate about eight miles west of Globe and adjoining the Miami and Keystone properties, is considered one of the most valuable groups in the Globe district, its ores being of much the same character as those of the Miami, which has I2, ,OOO,- 900 tons of per cent. sulphide ore in sight.
 The acreage of the Inspiration is larger than that of the Miami, and both mines are on the same great ore deposit.
 The Inspiration has about 1900 feet of development work, principally in tunnels, which has brought into sight 1 100000 tons of sulphde of about the same grade as the Miami ore. Re gently. the Mercer tunnel, the deep est working on the Inspiration, has been driven POI feet in Sulphide ore.
 The or- deposit, as far as pros pected on the Ins piration, is 1900 feet wide.
 With the New York capitalists to whom reference is made in the dis patch to the Silver Belt, it is under stood that w. H. Tho npson, of Bos- ton, and George E. Gum, of Salt Lake City, are associated.

''Dead Man" Still Alive.

"Why, I know you. I buriei you once!"
 These sensational words were spoken last week in Phoenix in the of flee of City Marshal Moore. They were addressed to James Mccormick by d man who had just arrived in the city and who was then negotiating for the purchase of one of McC6r- mick's burros.
 Explanations followed, and the marshal learned that two years ago Mccormick was lost on the Mojave desert. He did not return to the point whence he started and his friends became uneasy about his fate. A searching party was organized, this man being one of the members.
 After combing the desert for a time they came across the mummified remains of man. The features were distorted out of all recognition, but it was thought the corpse was that ot Mccormick. It was buried on the spot, and no one suspected for a long time that the remains inferred were not really those of 'Old Jim."
 Later, however, news came that Mccormick had been seen at another point, alive and we'll. This morning when member of the searching party called upon Marshal Moore and asked him if one of the men in the city jail did not have burro for sale. he did not expect to meet the man he once thought he buried.
 The well known legal firm of Strick- Ter & Stanford of Bisbee has dissolved partnership and the members will henceforth engage in practice under their individual names. and while they expected to be associated in practice in the future, it will not be as partners.

The clean-ups are getting bigger and better as work in the mine progresses and i% will soon he necessary to haul out the big chunks of gold with four horse team. It is said that the works on the lower levels of the mine show better ore than above and that everywhere an opening has been made good ore is shown up.
