MINING STOCK DEAL.

GLOBE. Jan. INV A. Shannon Of Santa Cruz, Cal, yesterday pur- chased the interest of Jerry Coghlan in the American Copper company, paying sS,000 cash for the interest, which is something less than fourth in the company. The property is lo- cated short distance from the Gib- son mine and is now under bond to four well known miners who are opening up some of the richest ore ever discovered in the Globe district. Shipments are being made by the leasers to the Old Dominion smelter.
 Mir. Shannon is circus man, being interested in the Norris & Rowe shows. and it was during a visit here with that circus that Mir. Shannon be came a booster for Globe. He has been more or less interested in mining for many years and during his visit here last year he became interested in a group of claims near the Ameri. can group. He intends to become in. terested in others as fast as good op portunities than any mining district in the country and he has visited all of them.

MOUNTAIN VIEW CO. STRIKES GOOD ORE
Development Work On Group North of BiSbee Gives
 Encouraging Results,

A report from the property of the Mountain View Company yesterday states that high grade silver and cop per ore has been encountered in the shaft and the indications now are that the drift which is being run will encounter the same ore body passed through in the shaft several weeks ago.
 Development work at the property during the past few weeks has been very encouraging. The Mountain View is located four miles due north of Bisbes and the company has ship ped ore to the Copper Queen shelters at Douglas at different times which has netted the company very good re- turns.
 There are nine claims embraced in this group and the company was organized among local mining men about two years ago. Lack of capital has made development slow, but with development work is again under way, it is confidently predicted that the Mountain View will eventually be ad. ded to the list of the steady producers in this county. The development work at the Mountain View is being watch. ed with a great deal of interest, as the success of this company would open up new district tributary to Bisbee. The principal stockholders of the Mountain View are Bisbee men, most of them practical miners.

STRONG BUYERS ARE SEEKING
 GREENE GAN.
Yesterday Was An Active Day In the Copper Market-ho. Butte and Butte Coalition Also Advanced.
By Frank J. Graf.)

slSg Ss VI ~AA-y
 Today was another active day in the copper market and several stocks showed considerable advancement. The chief feature of the market was the rapid advance in Greene Cananea, Norta Butte and Butte Coalition. The demand for Greene Cananea was so sudden that in very short time the stock sold as high as ss.50 and soon touched s9.00 mark. North Butte open. ed at s51.00 and sold as high as $52.50 but toward the close there was a slight weakness.
 Shattuck-Arizona is about the strongest among the curbs, sales be- ing made at s17.75 with strong de mand for the stock at s1S.0O. Super for & Pittsburg held well the greater part of the day. sales being made at SIS. 3S and closing at that figure. Butte Coalition was we'll supported at $1S.75 and closed at $500. That con fidence is again restored in copper stocks is certainly evident from the tone of today's market. The demand for stocks is becoming better each day and conservative buyers are go Ing into the market and buying the best class of copper stocks. Money still holds easy at SIS per cent The metal market is on the improve, cleo. trolytic copper being scarce at 14A.

Miners Are Plentiful and Mor- gan Shaft Made Ready
 For Work,

Tucson.-Superinten William McDermott, wao is in charge of the Twin Buttes work, has arrived in this city from the mines. He states that operations are again under way but on limited scale.
 The man who will be in charge of the diamond drill work on the 400 Foot level in the Morgan shaft will arrive in the city this evening and leave in the morning for the mines to begin work. This level will be thoroughly prospected with the dia- mond drill. 'SFAfM
 Capt. McDermott stated that the company has at the present time all he miners that it can use and added that there are no openings for any others at the present time.
 Since the news was given out that Twin Buttes would resume there have been large number of miners who visited the camp and asked for em. ployment, but only few of them could be taken on at the present time as the company has started with a small force which will be added to gradually.
 The pumps at the mines are in op eration and the water is being taken out of the shafts and levels at the present time.

Bisbee, Jan. IT, 1908.
 The market today shows marked improvement all along the list with the Boston stocks prominently in the lead. North Butte, Calumet & Arizona Old Dominion, Copper Range and Butte Coalition all show large gains which in extremes were three points for the day.
 Greene Cananea was feature to- day and advanced to S9.12 very easily, when there was considerable stock of fered which brought it down to sS.75 at the close.
 The curbs are holding very firm with stocks scarce. They also advanced fractionally, and should the eastern markets hold their gains they are good for neat advances within the next week. There will probably be some profit taking tomorrow which will have a tendency to check today's ad- vance.
