LOST GULCH MINE
 HAS RICH GOLD ORE
NeSbittr McAIpine and RaISton Property Developing Into
 Gold Mine.

GLOBE. Sept 16.-What appears to be the first really successful attempt to develop profitable gold mine in this district, is being made by Charles Nesbitt, A. McAlpine and Jack Ralston on their property situated in Lost Gulch, about eight miles west of Globe.
 The property comprises five full claims and two fractions and adioins the old Kasser mine owned by John J. Gibbons, of New York, which is said to have produced a quarter of a million dollars of gold, but failed through mismanagement.
 Messrs. Nes0itt, McAlpine and Ral- ston have been steadily developing their property for several months and have sunk a shaft on the vein at an incline of about 42 degrees to a depth of ITS feet The shaft is in ore three feet wide all the way down, and twenty-tons of ore taken out in sink ing, has been sacked for shipping. The ore runs 30 to 40 per cent in lead three to five ounces in gold and four to five ounces in silver to the ton, and these values have been fairly well maintained from the surface to the bottom of the shaft, although the best ore was encountered at about 100 feet down, at which depth a drift has been started, to take out ten tons oi ore to complete carload of thirty ] tons, which will be shipped immediate | ly to the smelters.

ARIZONA COMMERCIALS
 STRONG POSITION

N L. Amster, president of the com pany says:
 There was never any question as to the success of this bond issue for the bonds are a first-class lien on the entire property including the rail road which cost s175000 and are a three year call on the stock. The bonds are caHable at 105 but should they be called at any time for pay ment stockholders would always nave sixty days thereafter in which to con vert All convertible bonds issued by mining companies are callable at 102 to 105.
 T do not believe the favorable position of the Arizona Commercial Copper company is generally appre- ciated History has been making fast underground in our property and when we cut the ore body on the 500- foot level of the Black Hawk in a crosscut from the new Eureka shaft, that gave us a length of over 1000 feet on the lode, and we know that the ore body for its entire length is from forty to forty-five feet in width. The character of the ore is the same wherever cut, and as we have drifted
 
 from tae incline shaft, we know that we have above 100000 tons of ore in this ore body to the 300 foot level, and we estimate that this ore cae all be treated at net profit to the com pany of s3 per ton on 121z cent cop per. or matter of $4,500,0O0.
 The important development, now- ever. is that east of the incline shaft we sank a winze to water level and crosscut from the winze just above the water level We found that just below the 500-foot level we have 3 zone of secondary enrichment where the ore runs from 8 per cent to l. per cent copper. As the same ore conditions exist the entire length oi the 5OO-foot level drift, we have ever! reason to believe that when we sinl our big Eureka shaft another fifty feet to the 600-foot level. which is matter of thirty or forty days time we shall run into rich ore

M 'MILLEN-SILVER
 MINING COMPANY Satisfactory Progress in De- velopment, To Install
 Cyanidel Plant,

GLOBE. Sept. 16.-From Superin- tendent V. Y. Smith of the McMillen- Stonewal Mining company, who has been in town for several days, we learn that very good progress is being made in sinking, the shaft having reached the depth of POO feet, and is going down three to five feet per day.
 At this rate it should be 300 feet deep within a month, at which depth it is proposed to open level by run ming a crosscut to connect with the working at 3S0 feet in the old shaft where those who know say, there is body of high grade silver ore. The new shaft will not stop at the 300-foc level, however, but will be sunk ro 500 feet, at least.
 Superintendent Smith is now figur ing on putting in a cyaniding planI and a Fuller-Lehi mill which is oi the gyratory type and of guaranteed capacity of nine tons per hour. Witt such a plant, MT. Smith believes thaI the low grade ores running from siS to twenty ounces of silver per ton could be profitably handled, and there is a large tonnage of that class o ore available.

PARADISE MINING NEWS

The Paradise Record contains the following concerning some of the mines in the Chiricahuas:
 Columbia.
 Bernoudy & Wright are continuing operations on this property, taking out ore in the winze. Some good looking copper-yellow sulphides- have lately been encountered, In a spar formation; but most of the ore is of the lead-silver class and carries little or no copper.
 The work now being done is of a development nature, really, but ore has been taken out all of the time the miners have not been out of ore for 30 feet, since work on the vein was begun in the tunnel and afterward continued in the winze from the tun- nel.
 But this is by no means all. The best part of it is, that there is con siderable stoping ground containing shipping ore. This Bernoudy & Wright have not yet touched. In due time this ore will be shipped.

STOCK DECLINE ! PANIC SCARE
 IN NEW YORK
Securities Slaughtered Right and Left and Market Closed Several Points Below 0pen- ing Prices.
(By Frank ). Glaf.Dl

Cbt trank J. Gid1.))
 Today's market was one of liquida tion from the very opening, but at times a better feeling prevailed. At the last hour of trading, however, stocks were offered for sale. and looked for a while as though a panic might take place. stocks were slaugll- tered right and left and the market closed several points below tine open ing prices. The Boston market soon. fell in line with the New York list and the fact that copper metal de clined three dollars a ton in London also helped matters, which in all, soon caused heavy decline in prices. The unlisted market was Hfeless and stocks were offered but no attention was paid whatsoever, the greater part of the time being given to the listed securities. The entire list is weak and would not be surprised if lower prices would be seen tomorrow, this however, is nothing more than naturai as the market is due a slight reaction.
