men have been put to work in the

This force will be kept at work until

Monday the mill closed down, a
big bar of $4,000 being shipped into
Hngman the following day. 1t will
take about a week to make a clean
up Of the tank and filters, which will
make the last bar Of bullion to be
taken from the old mill. The Billy
Bryan min will be the only one of
the group to receive attention until
the property is electricalized, the Gold

10y II adlh y. NrEdit
The first week of the new year has
been a very encouraging one In tao.
copper stocks and from present indi-
cation the market should show more
Improvement. Every day seems to
bring more confidence in the market
especially in copper stocks as well a.
confidence In the financial situation.
Dividends are being disbursed and
the rate for money mas been decreas-
ed. Copper metal shows a firmness
hat would lead one to believe that
the metal is in the very best condition
and that copper will see better prices
IN the very near future. Copper stocks
are more in demand than they were
ever before, for the reason that the
public has seen what copper proper
ties can earn when copper is selling
a fair price. The demand for North
Butte and Copper Range was good
and caused these two stocks to adj
vance to new prices, not seen for
some time. The demand for Superior
Pittsburg is good, sales being made
as high as $1,000. Should the Hoat-
son continue opening new ore bodies
1t would be not be surprising to see
this stock at least $500 within a
very short time, provided money mat
tiers are not disturbed. Greene Can
anea is in good form at SIPS, but the
stock seems to be very scarce. Shat
tuck and DEM look good. Warren
and American are also showing
strength. Globe Consolidated is be-
ing well supported at $500.

PARADISE, Jan. 4-The mining
activity in the Chiricahua district is

although ore has been continuous
since the first twenty-six feet.
They are tunneling to catch the
main ledge which is sixty-two feet
wide on the surface. The company
has already taken out three car loads
OF high grade ore from the top of tn

There are thirty claims in this prop

through the entire group of claims.

Thus when the turn comes 1t viii
be rapid and we shall be lucky II the
situation does not get. away from us
before we realize that the strong up
ward movement has come.
One of the strongest signs Is the
indifference of the average producing
company to orders at current quota
tons They are making absolutely
no effort to get business. and while
money to be loaned on bullion is
scarce. the belief In the best informed
quarters is so strong that all are
willing to hold metal for so days, be-
lieving that. the market win come

Re the case il they went to the market
at the present level OF quotations.
If anything in this world was ever

share market. Stocks continue to
have but one trend and that is up
ward Otherwise they are dull but
with no stocks coming out.
