SNOW INDOORS

A CCORDlNG to eminent authority the
"A same causes that produce fall OF snow
in the open alr-namely, subsection OF moist
atmosphere to temperature cold enough to
crystalline the drops of moisture that are
formed-may, of course, take place under
artificial conditions.
There is instance on record that man
who was walking rapidly along the street on a
cold, fair day, and had by violent exercise
brought himself into a condition Of profuse
preparation, took off his tall hat in saluting a
friend. and as he did SO astonished to feel
what was apparently slight fall OF snow on
his head. Passing his hand over his head, he
found several unmstakable flakes OF snow
there. 1t is supposed that the freezing outer
air condensed the moist warm air within the
mans tall hat so suddenly that a veritab BILE
snow storm of miniature proportions was
produced.
\ similar incident once occurred in Sweden.
On very cold, clear night, an evening party
was given in a salon IN Stockholm. Many
persons were gathered in single room, and it
became warm that several women COM
planned of feeling i'll. An attempt then
made to raise a window; but the sashes had
been frozen in their places, and it was impos-
sible to move them.
In this situation, it was absolutely necessary
that air should be admitted, pane OF glass
was smashed out. Immediately cold current
of air rushed in; and at the same instant flakes
of snow were seen to fall to the floor in all parts
of the room. The entrance OF frosty current
into an atmosphere saturated with moisture
had produced a snowfall indoors.

THERE were just the two of them, however,
standing together in the bows of the REIN
carnated Orpheus when that serviceabe craft
cut the arc of broad circle about the sea
washed face of Fort Hill and came steaming
into the dazzling little blue and white harbor.
The flags were whipping from their poles again,
the files of constabulary dressed in unbroken
lines along the quay, the band playing the
one tune it knew. There in little crowd in
front were the white clad figures of the staff,
their faces already distinguishable as the dis
tance lessened.
There's Mr.. O'Brien standing near Flor
ence, " said Christabel presently Hes quite
cured, isn't he?"
Yes, Heyls theory was right. But O'Brien
wants to know which shock it was that did it.
The roof fell on him first and then Florence pro-
posed to him; SO he's afraid he'll never know. -
They were almost within earshot now of the
crowd on the quay.

MARKET WEAK AT TIE CLOSE,
 SHOWING LOSS
Shattuck Is Strongest Copper
 Stock on the LiSt-Very Few
 Shares Coming Out at the Present.
(By Frank J. Grail


 Within the last hour Of the clos, the New York market failed tC show any strength, and slumped from one to five points. At the opening however, stocks opened at about the same as the close of the day previous but the persistent selling at the close soon showed heavy losses. St. Paul showed a loss from 133 3-4 to 129 3-S Shelters, Southern Pacific and North ern Pacific also showed heavy, de clines. The copper market soon felt the effects of the New York market and at the close copper stocks took a tumble. Amalgamated showed a loss of two points, North Butte and Copper Range also suffered in like proportion, and Old Dominion made a loss of one point even. Greene Cananea Is steady at g If to 3-s wlrn very little stock being offered. Su- perior & Pittsburg is very quiet at II 1-2 to 3-4.
 These two stocks are getting down somewhere near their last year low mark, and ought to be bought up, re- gardless S the rumors that are afioat. Shattuek is without doubt the strong est stock on the list. In fact, there Is very little stock coming out at the present figures, and from the tone of the market there is not very much likely to be offered for some time. The market depends chiefly on the money conditions and at the present time Is looking very encouraging Closing OuOtations.

Mining, SneIterS and Stock Quotations
HIGH GRADE ORE
 IN COPPER CREEK

k Frank McGovern, of Johnson, came from Copper Creek mining district, about 75 miles north of Benson, last Wednesday. bringing samples of high grade copper, lead, gold and silver ores, from group of live claims just sold by Clark and Scanlon to Man ager Sibley of the Copper Creek com pany, for s35,O00. ten per cent of which has already been paid. The remainder will be due on the first of next August.
 McGoyern personally inspected two of the claims, from which he took the samples of ore. One has a solid ledge of red copper oxide ten feet wide at the surface, which is said to average IA per cent copper, 2T ounces silver and s5 gold. A shaft has been sunk fifty feet, all in solid ore.
 Another vein, 15OO feet away, shows six feet wide of galena ore running
Bisbee daily review., 1908-05-27

12 per cent lead, $S0 gold and 12 ounces silver, drift runs fifty feet along the vein, all in solid ore.
 McGoyern located five claims in the district, and now has men at work on them. He says times are lively there, and at Mammoth, about twelve miles this way, where there are two big stores. one good hotel and two good restaurants.
 Walapai Clarke was in Benson a Few nights ago, and confirmed the re- port of sale above mentioned, but says the sale price is S40,000 and that they received a payment on making the bond, that payment will be made next month, and another next Octo- Der. McGovern's information came from Scanlon who probably had the August payment, which is to come from the c. & A. on another deal, mixed up with the Sibley deal Clarke says a smelter is in contemplation for the Copper Creek district.

AN ABANDONED MINE
 IS NOW RE-OPENED
Old StoneWaII Located in Globe District to Be Developed
 Thoroughly,

GLOPE May 26.-Abandoned after large quantities of very rich silver ore had been extracted and several Liz fortunes amassed IS a result of it's fabulous richness, the old Stolewall mine, located 1G miles northeast of Globe, has been reopened and will be systematically developed by the Mo Millen Stonewall Mining Company, after it's quarter century of idIeness.
 The new company is reopcning the property with a large three-compart- ment shaft at point within a very short distance from where it has been demonstrated that the vein is 100 feet wide between walls to a depth of 500 Feet. That the vein continues on downward, growing in width and rich. ness with depth, there is little doubt.
 During the early days the mine was operated solely for the very richest ore it contained, and no effort was made to save any ore that showed values of less than 50 per cent By following out this reckless and ex- trayagant manner of mining, the op- erating company of 30 years ago left standing in the mine, blocked ont, a vast tonnage of ore that will return the present company a handsome and continuous profit for many years to come. Even the old dumps contain sufficient values to make their reduc- tion profitable, and with a crude mill put up to test the ore. employing the hypo-sulDhate of sudiun treatment, coarse ore is being taken from the dump and sufficient yalues extracted to convince the most skeptical that by crushing the ore a very close saving of values could be made. The ore does not contain arsenic antimony or sulphur, therefore it does not re quire preliminary roasting. winch makes it very desirable for try sulphate or any other treatment of free milling. As soon as the shaft is completed to a depth of 100 or 50O feet, the company will undoubtedly erect a plant harmouiziug in size with the known ore bodies.
 It is believed by mining men gen erally that in addition to the silver values, that at a depth. of 1000 Feet the new company will develop cop per sulphides and have a valuable by-product.
 Twenty-Five years ago McMillen, the home Of the famous StonewaIl, was a irving mining camp of from 500 to 500 people. The town boasted of fourteen stores, several saloons, dance halls, gambling houses and all the requisites of a successful mining camp of the early days. The Stone wall was one oF the nations conced- ed silver producers, and specimens of ore, almost pure, were displayed in many of the chief cities of the coun- try. The operators cared for nothing but the very richest and consigned to the dump and left standing, blocked out, great bodies of ore, which under modern treatment methods will again place McMillen on the, map with all its old-time activities.

 NEW YORK, May 26.-The market at the opening was steady and show ed some strength. There was a let up in the activity and traders held off. After a rally in the afternoon, the market began to sag and then turned very weak. Union Pacific was han mered down and took the rest with it. Prices broke all through the list and stop orders were reached. The clo5e was weak and unsettled and under pressure. Look for an unset tied market tomorrow.
