MANY ISSUES SHOW STRONG

New York Market Has Best Day Since Panic-Local Shares Do Not Respond To General Movement.
tBy Frank J. Crab

Today's market was one of the strongest markets that has been seen for many months, in fact, almost since the panic The New York marke, opened strong and stocks were in heavy demand, Northern Pacific Union Pacific and Shelters were the most active The coppers stocks also showed good strength, Amalga mated opened in good form and sold as high as 52 Is. North Butte, which opened at 50 1-2 closed at 52 3-4, over two points advance. Old Dominion, Copper Range, Butte Coalition and Calumet & Arizona also showed good advance. The local market fails to respond to the advances in the other stocks, although they are firm. s. & P. cannot be bought under 12 If, while Greene Cananea holds around 8 1-4 to 3-S. American holds firm at geo, with a few bids out at 2 3-4. Warren is being offered at 400. Shattuck is in good demand at 15.00, but this price fails to locate any stock. Denn is being supported d. 3 1-2, with nothing coming out under 5-S The entire market has never looked better than it has today and from the tone of the market there should be better prices the coming week.

such a commission would report in its favor. If such a commission should report adversely it will abandon the field without further controversy. Daniel Guggenneim, of the Amerl- can Smelling & Refining Co, was re gently asked about the United States Smelling. Refining & Mining Co.'s po- sition in Utah. Mir Gugg5 nheim stated that he would see to it that the United States Co. did not make a dollar from It's Utah smelling opera tions. even though the Guggenheim opposition to the United States Co. prevented his companies from profit abel operation. These remarks left an impression that the Guggenheim interest had more or less to do with the opposition of the farming inter ests to the smelters in Salt Lake valley If this view is the correct one, it was a profitable, though pos sibly an unfair move, but it has left the Guggenheims supreme in the state in the smelting line.

TRUSTEE APPOINTED
 FOR COMANCHE CO
E, A, Wayne, Manager of Cop per Gulf Will Take Charge
 of Company'S Affairs.

SILVER CITY, N Nj, March H. Judge Frank w Parker, in chambers yesterday afternoon, appointed E. A Wayne, manager of the Copper Gull Mining company of the Burro noun. tains, trustee for the Commanche Min ing & Smelling company. The appoint ment came as surprise.t to the public at large. but to none more so than the appointee himself, who had no knowl edge that his name was being consid- cred in connection with the position until few hours before the appoint ment was made Nothing but words of warmest praise and approval have been heard since the appointment was made and it can be truthfully said to have given universal satisfaction both to the public at large and more espe- cialy to the contending factions within the company. It was a very happy solution of a very vexatious affair and one, had it been allowed to proceed much farther. would have resulted ir serqious detriment to the future plans of the company and to the mining in. dustry of Grant county. Judge Parker Referee vallacott and the directors Stockholders and attorneys in the case are to be congratulated on the fortu- nate outcome of the affair.
 Mir. Wayne, the appointee, was the unanimous choice of all the parties in terested, and he takes hold of the t-usteeship with the undivided support of directors and stockholders. This aIgurs well for the future of the com ipany and certainly no more favorable tissue could be asked by Silver City i people. MT.

.sIO,OOO MONTHLY IS RECOVERED FROM WATER
Seepage Water From Failing Pits Forced To Give lip Bars of Gold,

KINGMAN. March 12.-George B. Ayers brought ia from Goldfield a bar of bullion valued at 5000, the re suit of a ten days cleanup from the seepage water from the tailings pits. The water from the pits was allowed to run down the canyon for a year or more, until James Carter made the dis covery that it contained from S1.40 @ s2 to the ton in gold, held in solution. Hn communicated the fact to HenrC Iovin who obtained lease on the waste waters from the mill. Tanfs, ard an old filter press constituted their plant and with zinc boxes lhe3 were able to recover 95 per cent Of the gold caut ned in the water. During the life of 'heir lease they recovered more than S9,000. The company then put il a lni nf plant add forced q 2 Seepage hacI 70 the mill where the gold is rS.rr:e'vd. By spraying the dumps with soiution the seepage is made to run much higher during the Carter-Lovin regime and a recovery of about S10,000 monthly Is now made.
 w. A. Robinson and John Kennedy, who have a lease on a part of the Samoan mine, at Chloride, have thirty seven tons of ore on the dump ready for shipment to the smeltsr. The ore is said to be very rich. A carload was shipped from the property last week by Roy Wright and partners. The mine is said to be showing up wonder fully well and the leasers are making good money.
 T. J. Purdy, superintendent and gen zF (Tln -1Sfisa M & NJ. company, near Cedar, was n Kingman Monday. He reports the San Francisco mine looking in excel lent condition and soon expects to have the new mill ia running order. With the completion of the new mill ing plant a greater saving of values is looked for.

BULLWHACKER MINE
 IS MINERAL PEACH
Fifty-Three Tons of Ore Worth S250 Taken By Two Men
 In Six Months,

PRESCTT, Ariz, March 11.-Fifty- shree tons of ore that samples S259 to the ton in gold, besides a much larg- CT tonnage of lower grade ores, from
 6o-foot drift without doing any stop ing. is the feat accomplished by Henry Smith and P. B. Werdon in six months actual work in the Bullwhacker mine, located three miles east of the city limits.
 The partners secured bond on the mine June 24, 1907, from R. H. Bur mister. It took the two 30 days to unwater the shaft and to do some nee essary camp work. The water was numped out by means of a whim, the mine not being equipped with hoisting machinery. station was then cut and the 153-foot level in the shaft and A drift on the ore shoot started. This drift is now in 60 feet, the high grade pay streak showing continuous, rang ing in thickness from 12 to 23 inches.
 Twelve inches of ore is now visible in the face of the drift and the same shoot shows one the other side of the shaft in the vein. which will De ex- plored later. Fifty-fye teet of stoping over the level has been done, all in virgin ground, and the ore shoot has been proven by sampling tests in the shaft to extend upwards the ntire dis tance to where the old works are en- countered. In addition to running the drift Smith & werdon have prospect ed extensively in other parts of the old workings, where they found good sized ore body. nine samples of which gave returns ranging from $23 to Si to the ton in gold.
 The Bullwhacker mine is among tils oldest locations in Prescott and WalIl CT districts. It produced some very high grade ore in pioneer days and rs paid well the miners and prospectorS who worked it. It was abandoned many years ago by reason of it's own CTS not being possessed of sufhcienl means to equip 1t with machinery tc explore it to greater depth. It is work cd out almost to a depth of 100 feet

CLAIM JUMPING Is EXCITING
 JEROME CAMP
North Verde company's Prop erty Is Grabbed-Dispute As To Doing of Assessment Work Cause of Troub.e.

PRESCOTT, March 12.-News of the week from Jerome is to the effect that nothing of startling character has developed in the Verde district, but that developmenht work is being steadily pushed on the various prop critics, with good prospects.
 At the Little Daisy the hard forma- tion that has been making the work slow during the past three weeks has been gone through, and the shaft IS now in a soft formation containing a good deal of mineral. At the Haynes property Superintendent Campbell has about completed the work of in stalling the large prospecting power plant As announced before, this Is the largest prospecting power plant ever installed in Yavapai county. It will be il commission before the end of the present month. The shaft oA the Verde Granda is now, down about 5e0 feet, with the formation getting more favorable to the making Of large and rich ore bodies. The A. A. Sycamore, Mescal, Hull and other To- cal propai aities are being worked with out interruption.
 The jumping of the North Verde Copper company's property by SuF livaa, Harrington and Browser, has been the talk of the Jerome mining world during the past week. Of cour: Q. as to whether the jumpers can or cannot hold the ground will depend upon whether or not the assessment work for 1907 was done. Atfidayits have been made and filed in the coun- ty recorGsr's office certifying that the work for 1907 was done. This, on the face Of 1t, would indicate that the company had paid for the work and that those who were hired to do it un- doubtedly believed they had done the necessary work. The case i5 not parallel one with the jumping of the Monarch by Fred Stevens, inasmuch as the Monarch company had not paid for the work for the year preceding the time it was jumped by Stevens, the company claiming that the care takers pay for that year should ap- ply on the amount necessary for an uual work. This the court would not allow, notwithstanding that Judge Kent had decided, short time be- fore. in the Vulture case, that a care takers pay should be charged up as annual essment work. As the North Verde ground is considered val uable. and as the company has large plant on the ground, the contest is bound to be a long and interesting one.
