the ore shipped during October and No vember was approximately $25,000, which makes the total for fourteen months over $73,000.
 The financial statement shows that the Superior & Boston company had a balance on hand October l, 1908, of $292, ,s42.76, of which $27S,690.ll was cash, the remainder being made up of ore sold, supplies and bills receivable.
 Consulting Engineer Frank II. Pro bert, in his very comprehensive report, tells of the physical condition of the Superior & Boston property, of the de- velopments and improvements made during the period under review; and de- votes considerable space to the Great Eastern mine-the amount of develop ment work done, amount and value in copper and in silver of the ore shipped each month, etxent and value of the Great Eastern ore body, and it's possi- bilities at greate rdepth. This ore body is opened vertically from point 80 feet above the fourth level to the inter mediate level 56 feet below the fourth level, and horizontally 230 feet in length on the fourth level and 320 feet in length on the lower or intermed- fate level, while in width this one body averages at least ten feet, and on the lower level where stripped is fourteen feet wide, and the ore higher grade than on the level above.
 MT. Probert estimates the ore in sight in the Great Eastern mine at 10000 tons and predicts that every foot sunk in the next 100 feet will put an additional 5000 on the gross value of the property. The value of the ore now developed in the Great Eastern mine is placed at $500,000. The ore shipped to Fl Paso in September, which was un- usually good, averaged 7.24 ounces in silver to the ton and 10.64 per cent copper.
 4 new three compartment shaft IS being sunk north of the shaft now in commission to intercept thhe Great Eas- tern ore body at depth of about $50 feet.
 In all, 6,374 feet of work had been done on the Superior & Boston property at the date the report was written, and Mir. Probert says "When it is eonsid- cred that every foot of the work done has given us approximately slOo worth of ore, the company has surely reason to be proud of the record. "
 Application for listing the stock of the Superior & Boston company on the Boston stock exchange has been made, the State Street Trust company having been appointed registrar, and the Bos' ton Safe Deposit & Trust company transfer agent. Engraved certificates of stock, to conform with the rules of the exchange, have been ordered, and when ready for delivery, the present outstanding certificates will be called in to be exchanged for the new ones

The losses in many active issues were quite severe and support seemed to be entirely lack ing. While the decline may extend somewhat farther, we believe that the best dividend paying stocks should be bought at the present level.
 The annual statement of the Union Pacific railroad, published last week, made q surprisingly strong showing both in gross and net earnings and in the increase in value or assets held in the treasury. Since last December these assets have increased in value over s70,O0O,000 The statement is all the more remarkable in that it covers the period of panic and the business depression which followed IL affords striking evidence of the remarkable business conditions prevailing in the west, where in many sections the vol ume of trade is showing an increase over the high point of 1907. The agri- cultural sections have apparently suf- fered less from the business depression during the past twelvemonth than any other part of the country, and the abundant crops it has harvested, which it has been able to rarGct at unusually satisfactory rr;ces. have hastened the business reeav"-y ;hat is now extending to all classes of industry.
 The citizens of Butte and other Mon. tana towns, whose existence depends upon the business of the copper mines and smeltcrs, are holding mass-meetings to protest against the action of Presi- dent Roosevelt in the smoke nuisance matter. The president has directed the attorney general to send an expert to Anaconda at once to make thorough investigation of the damage resulting to farmers and to standing timber by the operation of the smelters, and the effects that would follow to the people of Anaconda by the closing down of the works. The citizens of these towns claim that all the damage that could possibly be inflicted in the smoke area has already been done, and interfer- ence by the government now would prove of no benefit to the national for est reserves. The timber values of the entire area affected by the shelter smoke would not equal the wages paid to men who would be thrown out of work, for a single week, as other smelt CTS in Montana i'll also be involved if the policy of the president regarding the preservation of the national forests is carried out.

Second Annual Report to Stockholders Property Already Self Sustaining and
 Will Undoubtedly Become a Large
 Producer and Dividend Payer.

The Superior $ Boston Copper com pany has issued its second anual re port to stockholders, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1908.
 Readers of the Silver Belt have been kept well informed regarding the de- velopments on the Superior & Boston property, and there is little to be said that is new, although the report should be highly satisfactory to the stockhold- CTS.
 President w. c. Rice refers to the fact that the first annual report showed an indebtedness of $256,000 on the pur- chase price of the company's property and that this debt has been fully paid; 1; SO that the company is now the owner of 45 mining cailms, or approximately 800 acres of mineral land, traverscd by five well defined veins. During the year covered by the report the company re- alized $4S,341.6l from copper shipped to the Old Dominion and Fl Paso smell ters, most gratifying showing, when, as President Rice says, it is considered that most of the shipments were made when the average selling price of cop per was scarcely better than 1912 cents, and that out of the proceeds derived from the sale of the ore was deducted three cents per pound for marketing in addition to the expense of transporta- tion and smelting.

BUFFALO JONES' SHIPMENT

Colonel c. J. Jones, better known to old timers in the west as ''Buf- f,lo" Jones, owner and superis ten dent of the Grand Canyon ean @ preserve, located near the head of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, was at the yards with shipment of huffaloes and mountain lions. The shipment consisted of seven full blooded buffaloes and twenty 70 twenty five imal of mixed breed :, ing, the latter showing plainly the buffalo strain as well as the char act-ristics of the Galloway cattle, with which the buffaloes had been crossed.
 Among the pure buffaloes was "Old Jo," an outlaw bull tn, t broke loose from a shipment being made about three years ago, and has been roaming the range ever since. defying the efforts of large number of cowhoys to capture him until Colonel Jones succeeded in roping him short time ago He was very docile at the yards, as he lost an eye in a fight with another bull on the train coming up and it took all the fight out of him.
 Five mountain lions in cages ac- companied the buffaloes and they attracted much attention at the wards, where they were unloaded. They were captured in the wilds of Arizona and their confinement was very distasteful to them, to judge from the efforts they made to get loose when one got near the cage
 The lions and buffa foes are heinz shipped by Colonel Jones to Kan sas City, Mo.-Denver Record Stockman.

ARIZONA SHEEPMEN MEET

The annual meeting of the Ari- zona Wool Growers association was held last Wednesday at the court house in Flagstaff. There was a good attendance from all over the northern part of the terri tory, as the creation of the Tonto and Verde national forest and pro. posed exclusion of sheep from these areas during the winter months has stirred them up thoroughly.
 The Flagstaff Sun says: If some favorable action is not secured they believe the most of them will te compelled to quit the business. The discussion of this problem wa the one thing most important brought up at the meeting. Let ters were read from the protest for warded the forester some time ago, in which there was found little or no comfort for sheep interests.
 MT. Gosney in his remarks stated that full statement of actual con ditions, including matters for and against the wool growing industry |, should be given the Investigating com mittes sent out by the govern ment; that persistent efforts should be made to put them in possession of the facts in the case, as well as to eradicate the prejudice that has grown up among those not conver- sant with the facts.
