Mining, Smelters & Stock Quotations
CHANGES
 ITS MINING LAWS

A point of vital interest to all min ing men who have operations in Mex ico. is the announced suppression of exploration permits of mining lands. Until now it has been customary that when a person asked for an explor- ation permit for mining lands from the mining agent. the said permit gives to the person the privilege ot three months in which to make ex- plorations on the land with the view of finding ore ledges and no other has the right to explore on that par ticular ground during the three months life of the permit.
 The permit also gives the right to denounce the same as mining claims. If, during those three months that

are embraced in the exploration per init, Announcement is net made by the party holding the permit, because he could not find anything to his liking, it is then free for other parties This makes a hardship on the other prospectors.
 Under tae new law the exploration permits for mining lands will be can celled and announcements must be made outright. This is necessary to the development of the mining indus try and as this branch must be given full protectioa, hnd to obtain the same. the suppression of the permits and their cancellation follows and un- der the policy of outright denounce- ment, mining claims will operate first come, first served.

WALKER BROS, LETTER.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The market was very weak today and the bears very aggressive. A good many open orders were caught and brought out long stock. There were many ru- mors of impending legislation against trading and talk generally was bear ish. Before the close there was a rally, but it was merely short cover ing and any good buying was entire ly absent.
 The market will continue nervous and unsettled until it is oversold, and it is very near that point now.
 Unless there is very bad news we should have rally very soon. There was no real news and money was easy.

Bisbee, Ariz., Feb. 10, 1908.
 The week opened with prices all way of and the whole list were on the toboggan. The New York and Boston listed stocks all suffered de- clines, which in extremes were f points and at times it looked panicky, There was rally at the close, prob ably due to snort covering and some of the stocks regained part of their losses. However, the market looked weak at the close.
 The curbs also sold of in sympathy with the listed issues and stocks were freely offered. Shattuck sold at S17.00. Denn at 3.62 1-2, Superior and Pittsburg at s12.37 1-2, Greene Cana nea at S-25, and the balance d the list in proportion. Butte & Arizona is quiet, with small lots of stock of fered at 70 cents. Last reports from this property are of a very encourag- ing nature and we do not look for any material decline in this stock.

There was more or less of panic in the eastern markets today. All stocks were offered for sale at a sac rifice, but the number of sales show that they were more readily taken up than might be expected, and leads to the belief that there is no expecta- ton that prices will break very much lower than the present quotations, we may look for rally any time, if it were only as the result of short GOV ering. Wolverine is excellent buy and in fact all the Warren district stocks, and money invested in them will in due time give good returns.

' A few weeks ago the Los Angeles papers were throwing yellow typo graphical fits over "stupendous land frauds in Imperial Valley" and pre- dieting the indictment of two or three brigades of prominent citizens by the Federal grand jury then in session. The only discoverable reason for the headline hullabaloo was the appear ance of several citizens of Imperial county as witnesses before the grand jury. All the rest was the irresponsi- ble guessing of the reporters, who probably had vague recollections or the first outbreak of Sigel Skinner, and assumed that his charges were all made good.
 The grand jury was to have made it's report week before last, but not a word about the nature of it's report has been said by the able. alert and occasionally accurate newsgatherers of Los Angeles. If there have been "stupendous land frauds and a lot of Imperial Valley people have been in dicted. the facts are important news, well worth printing.
 But the labors of the mountain so far have brought forth only the mouse of a contest by Sigel Skinner of one 160-acre claim, which was heard in the Land Office at Los Angeles early this week and taken under advisement by Register Prescott.
 According to the Los Angeles Times, in the brief filed by Attorney P. H. McPherrin for dependents Louis C.. Greene and Harrison M BoWker, Skinner is called "a social outcast and rolling stone" who never had legal residence. He is scored for giving tcs- timony about something that took place six years ago, although he did not appear in the valley until 1907.
 In the strongest kind of language the lawyer condemns Skinner foe in stituting contests to over 3OAO acres of land most of which is said to be in the hands of innocent third parties.
 His witnesses are described as Der iurers and dummy entrymen," ana enc is alleged to have been bought
 Attorneys Noleman and Snyser, representing Skinner in his numerous contests based on alleged land frauds, open their reply by an eloquent eulo5y of their client. They state that he was in the thick of the rifle fire in the Philippines, while the members of the opposition were endeavoring t. ac- quire Imperial land by dummy en- tries. The legal document proceeds:
 "When Skinner entered the valley he cast about him to ascertain how came it that certain individuals and corporations were large holders of val uable land.
 "He was not long in finding out how the unsispecting and unWise could be made the tools of grafters to further their unlawful schemes. Skinner has made good by competent evidence Ii therefore follows that those whom he has exposed are seeking by long-wind ed briefs to cloud the atmosphere and skulk away in the darkness.
 "It is like the loathsOme slimy crea ture known as a kind of fish which in habits the muddy parts of deep wa

Several Reports on The Shooting Up
VIII be Presented to Senate.
WILL Be FINE CONCENTRATION
1t Looks Now as If There Would be
Five Different Reports on Affair
Which Led to Dismissal of Bat
TALON of Negro Troops.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Browns-
vile. Texas, will have Il little airing
in the Senate once moro and we will
be reminded that the town was shot
mp and three companies of negro
troops discharged for being implicat-
ed in the crime and the conspiracy
TO conceal the perpetrators. When
the report is made to the Senate 1t
viii he fine congloneration and 1t
now looks as If there will be at least
five different reports. Senators War
rem. Lodge and Warner will be Joined
by the five Democrats, Taliaferro.
Foster. Oyerman, Frazier. McCreary.
in report holding that the shooting
was done by negro soldiers and that
large number OF the soldiers who
were not engaged in the shooting
knew who were SO engaged and that
they were thus guilty of conspiracy.
These eight men will make a major
ity of the committee and sustain the
action of the President in dismissing
the three companies.
The opposite view will be taken by
Senator Foraker, who was responsl-
bic for the investigation and who is
the defender of the negro troops. He
will be joined by Senator Buckley.
although the latter may not assent to
everything that Foraker desires to
say. Foraker will insist that nothing
has been proven against the negro
soldiers and that 1t is an open uues-
ton whether the shooting was done
by citizens Of Brownsville or by the
soldiers Senator Scott has drawn a
report which Is not so radical as that
of Senator Foraker and which insists
that no more than 4 dozen negro SOL
dicrs were implicated and that great
injustice was done to the $50 negroes
who were discharged ly the Presi-
dents order. This report will also
show that great deal of the i'll feel
ing in Brownsville was the result of
liquor drinking. An ex-soldier kept
n saloon which was patronized by the
negro troops who refused to drink at
the back doors and in the alleys of
the other saloons. Senator Scott said
that this aroused a great deal OF an
tagonism and it might have brought
on the shooting through the organiz-
cd effort of the other saloon keepers
who desired to have the negro troops
supplanted by white troops
1t is possible that Senator Hemen-
way will join Senator Scott in his
report, or Senators Hemenway and
DUPONT may agree on report of
their own. At all events Hemenway
and DUPONT will not sign the MAORI
" report. They may Individually or
jointly agree with some portions of
Senator SCOTS report. but they will
not concur in all that Scott desires to
say.
1t is understood that the five Dem
ocratic members intend to submit a
minority report of their own. unless
they can get the three Republicans.
Warren. Lodge and Warner, to agree
to incorporate in the main majority
report a recommendation that no
more negroes be enlisted in tho Unit
cd States army. 1t is not believed
that any Of the Republican members
will sign such recommendation and
therefore it is probable that this mi
nority report will be made BY the
Democrats.
