President Paine has returned from
a visit to the Lake and speaks most
encouragingly respecting the Copper
Range properties and the future OF
the metal market. 1t seems to be
universally conceded that the Lake
mines have no accumulations of the
red metal and that they have reduced
costs to profit-giving point even
on 10 cent metal market
Reports from other copper mining
camps are encouraging. From a To-
cal man who recently visited the
Bingham and Butte camps we hear
good things respecting Utah Copper,
Boston & Corbin. Nevada-Cons0lidat-
ed and other we'll known local proper
ties. A random sample picked up on
the Corbin dump assayed per cent
in copper and carried enough silver to
pay for it's mining and smelling.
With new money and a new manage
ment the East Butte proposition is
expected to work out.
From Mexico comes word that the
Green ananea plant will start up
within a week or ten days and the
stock has been in good demand for a
couple of weeks now.

PIONEER PROSPECTOR
COMES TO HIS END
Death of GuiIIermO Vargas at
Phoenix Recalls an An
Gent Tragedy,

PHOENIX. July S.-Guillermo Var
gus. an old resident of the valley,
died yesterday morning unattended
by a physician. An inquest was &C
cordingly held by Coroner tombstone
at which it was established that death
had resulted from natural causes. It
was learned that the old man, who
was saventy-five years of age, had
been in i'll health for some time and
that the night before ne had been
seized by violent cramping spells.
Notwithstanding his spanish name,
Vargas was a Californian Indian. the
Mexicans who knew something Of his
antecedents say, a Digger Indian. He
was a pTOspectOr and very skillful
one before he came to this territory
and ne followed that occupation here
as long as he was able to tramp
about the hills. He leaves several
relatives here. but he had had moth
ing to do with them for long time.
An incident is related by OIdtimers
here. of his early life which for a
time brought him under the notice OF
the authorities, but the matter was
finally allowed to drop. A great many
years ago a haIf-brsed pTOspectOI
used to visit Wickenburg frequently,
always bringing gold from a small
but valuable placer which he had
discovered somewhere in the Buck
horn district. Though numerous at
tempts were made to learn of its pre-
else location. the halfbreed succeeded
in keeping it a secret and he always
managed to throw off all parties who
tried to follow him when he left fol
the hills.
Vargas at last succeeded in gaining
his confidence and one day when the
half-breed left WickenbuTg ne was
accompanied by Vargas. The half.
breed was never afterward seen alive
/ Vargas returned to Wickenburg in
the course of time. Nothing was
thought of the half breed. for though
| his visits had been frequent they were
so irregular that no track could be
| kept Of them.
Two or three weeks later a couple

He could give no satisfactory accoun
of himself. but said that when he lief
the placer the haIf-breed was alive
and well. Vargas was kept uEde1
surveillance for a time, during whicl
he filed on the placer and later sc
cured a title to it.

tom of the shaft within foot of the

a foot long about seven inches wide
Last Sunday W. P Whit. who was
out to see the property. took an av-
.erage sample of the whole face of
this ledge and had it assayed, the re
turns of which shows over 500 per
ton in values. The face from which
the sample was aiken covered a space
of six feet high and five feet wide, so
ii can be readily seen that the strike
is a good one.
In it's issue of June 26, the Press
speaks as follows of a later strike:
This week Floyd Stroud came from
the rich lea6silver strike in which ne
is interested and reported that they
had struck it in a new place on the
next claim to the north which is sup
posed TO be an extension of the same
ledge. Mr.. Stroud said they had sunk
two feet in doing the location work
when galena ore was uncovered which
looks just like the first strike. He
thinks it will be just as rich at the
same depth.
The claims are called Valley View
No. l. Valley View No. 2. and Valley
View No. 8. from north 10 south. The
first rich strike was made not far from
the south end of No. 3, and the last
strike was made over a little hill On
the next claim north. being in the di,
rection of the lead claims from which
Ben Y. Williams recently made q test
shipment of 1900 pounds and for which
he received very satisfactory returns
Floyd said they had about 100 sacks
Of ore ready to ship.
The latest discovery seems to veri
fy the opinion Of Mr.. Williams that
the trend of the ore bearing assure
or fault is through his ground, which
joins Valley View No. l, and indicates
extensive galena and silver deposits

BOSTON, July Sit has been re-
markably duh week in local copper
share trading, but there has been an
of optimism that has
brought some buying in its train of
special stocks. For instance, there
seem to be orders just under the mar
ket around 10 for almost any guam
tity Of Greene ananea, while the
stock sells steadily at round 10 1-2.
Anticipation of the resumption of
dividends by the Osceola brought a
buying movement in that stock which
rose from 90 to 103 and then dropped
off bit upon the announcement of
50 payment where there had been con-
siderable talk of more. Tie move
ment in Osceola demonstrated, how
ever. that there are no coppers press
ing for sale, the 11-point advance be-
ing made on trading in very limited

one of assurance that the politicai

government report from a stock mar

GOOD ADVANCE
| IN THE MARKET
HOLDS ALL DAY
indications Are That the Bulls
Are in Control and Long
Looked for lump in Prices
win Come Before Long.
CBy Frank J. Graft

Today's market was one of the
strongest that we have seen in days.
and stocks took on good advance,
and held till the close. From the tone
OF tOday's market, it would lead one
to believe that the bulls have the
market in control and that the long
looked for advance is at hand. ANAL
gamated opened firm and took on a
point advance. North Butte was by
far the feature of the day, making
an advance of almost points, from
IS "a TO II IA. Old Dominion also
showed strength, colsing at 81.
Greene Cananea held firm the entire
day with sales ranging from 10 81
to rs and closing at 10 5-S bid.
Shattuck Arizona and DEM were
well supported during the day and no
sign of weakness was shown. The
entire list on the Boston market is in
good form and better prices will pre-
vail toward the close of the week. We
think at this time stock should be
bought and those that do not buy now
might hold of and let the stock get
away from them altogether. Don't
try and get stocks at the bottom
prices. Stocks at this level are GER
tainly selling at a fair price, and l
do not see how one can loose at pre-
yailing prices.
