MARKET STRONG
LOW PRICES ON
MOST COPPERS
Looks Like Good Time to Get
In Market For Prices win
Not Remain at Their Pres
ent Level.
(By Frank J. Graft

The market continues to be very
strong, with indications that the bears
have lost out for the present. The
demand for stocks continues to be
stronger. and stocks at these figures
are getting scarce.
The New York markets had a good
advance and closed at about the
highest mark for the day. Amalga-
mated advanced and held pcint for
the day. Copper Range, North Suite,
Butte Coalition and Old Dominion are
particularly strong, all stocks being
offered are easily disposed of. with
no tendency to strengthen the marhet.
Superior & Pittsburg, although not
especially strong, Is IN good form at
$1,000 with little trading Greene
Cananea is being pegged at $500 to
$S.12 with sales at these fismes. Dem
Arizona is in gooG demand at 81 62
and looks as though all the cheap
stock has been bought up
Shattuck-Arizopa is also in good de-
mand from the east ar s,LG2 to s1I75.
Warren, Black Mountain and Ameri-
can hold well at their respective
prices, although trading is limited,
with little or no stock offered. This
is the opportune time to get into the
market, for it is not very likely that
stocks will remain at this level.

last few days and on his return was
questioned as to what the Ray COM
pany was going to do. He replied
that they intend to keep the orIlfs
working at Ray. but would put no
more men on at present. He is very
hopeful Of the future and trusts that
on one of his future trips to the coast
to bring back word % commence
work proper. Mr.. Wiseman cannot
bring the word to commence opera
tions too quick as all Kelvin will be
on the jump Immediately.
The drills at Ray have been moved
to the old workings and will prospect
this ground for several weeks. There
have been about forty holes sunk so
far and they have all showed traces
of good ore. The Ray Copper COM
paDy has very extensive property
and it will take some time to thor
oughly prospect it.
The Kelvin Calumet company, under
the careful management of w. B.
Twitchell, has been in full blast the
past few weeks. Prof Clarke, Mr..
Turner and Mr.. RutEedge, three of the
principal stockholders, have been in
specting the property and are highly
pleased with the run and the way it
is conducted. There are a number Of
men working. Ii is not known at the
present time as to whether this will
be permanent run as they are waiting
on word from the coast. Mr.. Twitch-
ell is very hopefri of the future and
says that if We will OILY have little
patience everything will come nut
fine in the near future.

of the interior, all of the commercial
organizations of the states of ColOra-
do and California and of Arizona and
New Mexico, have taken the matter
up with the intention Of bringing In
fluence to bear to have the measure
enacted into law. All Of :iese sec
tions, which to a great extent depend
on the mining industry, look upon the
establishment of a bureau OF mines As
a stepping stone to the eventual es-
tablfshment OF a depar1ment of mines.
The bill on which the committee of
the house of representatives agree
provides that the duty of the new bu-
reau shall be "to foster, promote and
develop the mining industries of the
United States; to make diligent in
vestigation of the methods Of mining;
the safety of miners, possible i'm
provement of conditions under which
mining operations are carried on, the
prevention OF accidents, the value Of
mineral products and markets for the
same, and other matters pertaining
to said industries and from time to
time make suci public reports as tn
secretary OF the interior may direct
of work Investigations and dnfor-
nation obtained with the recomnen-
datoins Of said bureau"
1t is believed that a bureau charged
with these duties could do much to
make improvements in all lines d
mining. as well as furnish much val
liable information without unneces-
sary or exorbitant cost to those in
terested.
The Tucson chamber of commerce,
the Bisbee board of trade, the Phoe-
nix board of trade and many other
organizations of the territory have
already given support, and will con-
tinue to use influence TO have the
measure enacted into law.

~ GENT COPPER
BY END OF YEAR

and that the speculative interests are
holding the bag, as it were.
There has been much talk Of late OF
heavy sales of copper being made by
japan in Europe. How extensive
these have been cannot be ascertain
ed definitely, but it is understood tIat
Japan now has a surplus Of about
u, 900 tons which it is trying To cas-
pose of in Europe. Chinese interests
are also said to have been consider
able purchasers of copper at the
levels prevailing earlier in the year
and that much Of the metal so ac-
quired is now being pressed for sale.
II is also admitted that the old es-
tabnshed producers will have to
reckon VITA another factor in the GS-
velopment of new mines. Experts es-
innate that Nevada and Utah will, this
year turn out I00. .O0O,0 pounds Of
copper more than ever before.
As an influence on the market WIN
in the next few weeks, it is expected
that the opening of lake investigation
will be followed by heavy rush OF
the metal to Eastern points.
The disposition of the producers ap-
pears to be 70 sell as much copper as
they can. rather than hold it back in
anticipation Of better prices.
Inasmuch as most Of the Old c0-r
Germs are able to make a moderate
profit on copper at from II to Is cents
a pound, this desire to market their
output as rapidly as possible is
easily understood
AS TO any pronounced recuperatioE
in the demand from manufacturers
the general opinion seems to be that
such Will be deferred until well into
the summer or possibly later.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The marker
at the opening was about steady and
then began to show signs Of pressure.
There was little buying power and
prices sold of early. In the late af-
ternoon there was quite rally and
prices became strong. The active
rails and some industrials were bid
up. The close was steady and with
better tone.
The market is certainly broader
and while there was little going on
there was a good undertone and the
feeling is that it will go higher.

Memphis, August 2S.-Any doubt that may have existed as to the owner of the Southern league baseball franchise in New Orleans has been dispelled by the statement from George c. Bennett, a Memphian formerly interested in turf af- fairs. to the effect that he owns and con- trols the majority of the stock
 T can't understand why there should be such a controversy over this proposi- tion," said MT. Bennett, "and while l am not in the habit of telling the world my business, I don't mind the least bit in owning up to the ownership of the New Orleans club. It looked like good in- vestment for me, and I placed my money in it simply from a business standpoint.
 MT. Bennett explains that he has owned a majority of the stock for two seasons. He has placed Charley Frank in full charge since purchasing controlling inter- est and does not dabble in the affairs at all.
 Mir. Bennett originally lived in Mobile and when the change in the circuit was made from Shreveport he was generally credited with being one of the prime

CHAPPELLE WILL

Memphis, August 29.-All sorts of in ducements offered to William Chappelle the former soldier boy and most sue- cessful pitcher the Memphis club had prior to Manager Babbs act in obeying orders from President Coleman, who commanded that Big Chap be immediate ly released, would not cause him to re- turn south again. Chappelle has been heard from since he joined Boston's Ma tional league club and says that he is pleased at his prospects. President De- vey of the National league club, will contend for the big pitcher and will show Chappelle's clean bill of release duly signed by Manager Babb.
 Chappelle has been offered $500 bonus by Manager Kelley if he makes good in the National. He is also receiving $35O per month. This is getting along pretty well for an ex-minor leaguer who was fired isn't it?' writes Big Bill to Mem- phis friend.

movers in the effort to control the new club placing Charley Frank, also native of Mobile, In charge, but MT. Bennett denies that he owns stock in any base ball club in the world except the New Orleans club
 The former turfman is not a baseball enthusiast. In fact, he has not attended a half dozen games in Memphis in two sea- sons. During the series between Memphis and New Orleans friends were called on to tell MT. Bennett the names of players as they assumed positions in the field and again when they came to bat. It is fact that the owner of the club in the largest city in the south did not and probably would not know now any player of his club, whether in uniform or plain clothes.
 MT. Bennett is reputed to be million aire. He has made thousands of dollars in the bookmaking end of the game and raced and bred horses prior to the whole sale legislation which put such crimp in the thoroughbred sport in Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri. He is believed to be the next owner of the Birmingham baseball franchise If 1t is

THE GRIFFIN JURY
 FAILS TO AGREE
AFTER BEING OUT TWO DAYS AND A HALF A MISTRIAL IS DE- cLARED-cHARGE WITH MUIR DER OF JEFFY HUGHEY.

Marion, August 23.-(Special.)-Th jury in the case of John Griffin, charged with the murder of Jeffy Hughey at Ephesus church in July failed to agree on verdict and were discharged at midnight last night.
 The jury had been out since 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon. It is said that the jury stood six for conviction for murder in the first degree, four for murder in the second degree and two for acquittal.
 Griffins attorneys will probably insti- ute habeas corpus proceedings in a few days for the purpose of securing bail for him.
 It will be remembered that Griffin shot Hughey at a Sunday school convention at Ephesus church, about 15 miles from Ma rion, in the presence of several hundred people. After committing the deed he is said to have held the crowd off with his gun until he made his escape. The mother of the dead man is said to have followed the slayer for some distance, only desisting, it Is claimed, when he threatened to shoot her. He was captured shortly afterward not far from the scene of the crime.

FRANK RETRACTS
 "G." ]" FOX EXPLAINS

In reference to the charges by Charlie Frank to the effect that Judge Kavan- augh was drawing a pension as presi- dent of the league, it was learned Sat urday that the willy Dutchman took backwater.
 When Judge Kayanaugh got behind Frank, he declared that the papers had misquoted him. Then Charlie Fox, of ficial scorer at New Orleans, wrote d letter to Judge Kavanaugh in which he attempted to explain.
 The gist of the letter of Fox was that Frank stated that Judge Kavan- augh paid no attention to his urnpires, but left that matter to 'pensioner" in his office, this reference being, possibly, to Secretary Clark Miller.
 With this explanation Judge Kavan- augh rested.

"It makes me tired to see everybody else get away with um- pire batting. Not that wish to prac- tice 1t. I think my record will show that I have had about as little trouble with umpires as any one in. baseball. But this year I cannot move without being fired from the game and suspended.
 ,'I know where 1t comes from all right. Johnson has been sore at me since two years ago, when we took three games from New York and beat him out of his pet scheme of having New York win the pennant. He was sore as a batter be- cause I didn't rest while New York was in town and pitch against Chicago.~
