Mining, SnGItGrS and Stock Quotations
SANTA MARIA Is
 MOST PROMISING Clara Consolidated Mining Company Owns 120 Claims
 in This District.

Il look upon the Santa Maria min ing district in northern Yuma county in which the Clara Consolidated Golt & Copper Mining company, owns 12( claims, as one of the most promising districts in the west today" says the Phoenix Democrat
 c. J. Lincke, prominent in >Califor ria as writer on mining subjects thus. expressed himself this morning after two weeks spent in the Santa Maria district for the purpose of studying the conditions there as they actually exist.
 To get in touch with what is being done, Lincke visited several of the nining properties. notably the Signal, and as result of what he observed was able to talk Interestingly of the future of that section of Arizona.
 "The Signal, which is owned by the Clara Consolidated, is now working thirty men," said he, land has five carloads of machinery unloaded at Bouse. where they will erect a 400. ton smelting plant to handle their own and the ores of smaller proper ties.
 T found that the Signal has three we'll developed shafts with important crosscuts, in one of which they have run their tunnel S5 feet in sulphide ore that carries per cent. copper and from SIP to S15 in gold.
 The Clara Consolidated is also operating the Moro and Little Clara properties, both of which have al. ready attracted more or less atten- tion The Little Clara became fam ous some time ago because of fab ulously rich gold assays. Extensive work is to be done on both of these grounds. ."
 While at Bouse, Lincke gained the important information that the Ari- zcna & California road is planning to run a spur twenty-two miles north, from a point forty-fiye miles west of Bouse, which will terminate at Swan sea. It will serve the Signal, Plant Morro, Little Clara, Montana-Arizona and other important properties.
 President F. M. Murphy of the Ari- zona & California railroad has an- nounced that as soon as he can go to New York and complete arrange ments for the spur, work will be started. At the same time he will do something toward resuming work on the Arizona & California west of Par ker, which road can be completed in seven months, it is said.
 Several properties to be served by this spur have already announced that as soon as work starts on the road they will begin heavy expenditures for development work, among them being the Plant property, which promises to spend s100.00O making a mihe.
 Lincke says that the Montana-Ari zona mine, which is owned largely by Phoenix people, is planning to resume operations with S3O,O00 to carry on the sinking of shafts, running of crosscuts and equipment of the prop erty with more machinery.
 While near Bouse. Lincke met Prof. James Sterling, former government geologist for the Australian govern ment at Victoria. Sterling is mak- iBg maps of the Santa Maria dis. trict, classifying the rock and gather ing scientific information to be used in the development of the mines. ..

Special Wire to L. J. Overlock.j
 NEW YORK, Nov. 21-The stock list was again unsettled with general declines recorded. The feature of tine trading was a drive on Tennessee Copper, resulting in a decline of s7 per share in the course of a few min utes. This served to unsettle the list and cause liquidation by frightened holders of other issues, and ill the last hour there was an absence of the good support which has been tender ed the list during the past periods of weakness. There does not seem to be much reason to believe that declines will be other than temporary.

Especial Wire to L. J. Overlook
 NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-While the market shows reactionary tendency at the weeks closing, 1t is nothing more than might be expected after the rise since election day. readiust ment of the speculative situation is quite in order and on any declines from now on we may look for good buying to appear in the specialries for much higher level later on.

RAILROAD news.
Freight Rates Have Been Raised
by Eastern Roads.
Increase Affects Merchandise of
Three Glasses.
SHIPPERS SURPRISED.
Heavier Tonnage Commodities
Advanced From . to 4 Cents.
Other Items of Interest i'm
Railway Circles.

Eastern railroads have announced the
first of their proposed increase in rates
effective August l. The announcement
is that the rates in what are known
as classes "R," &C." and d." which
include some of the heavier tonnage
commodities, will be advanced from 2
to cents per 100 pounds from all Ohio
and Mississippi river crossings to the
southeastern territory and the interior
Mississippi river valley
No notice of corresponding increases
from the seaboard to the southeast has
been given. By this omission, therefore,
the discrimination against Chicago and
the middle west and in favor of the
seaboard to the markets of the south
east has been increased. For this rea-
son the Chicago Association of Com
merce has taken the matter up and
Will protest against the announced ad-
vances in the rates. In this same con-
nection it is stated, although unofficial
ly, that the eastern roads, those north
of the Ohio river, have decided to make
advances in the first three classes of
rates only, permitting the other three
classes to remain at the present fig
ures.
The increase into the southeast came
as surprise to the shippers, as it was
officially announced that the railroads

paper sacks Glass B." in which the
increase is 8 cents per 100 pounds, in
cludes fresh, picked and salt fish, ba-
con and ham, canned, sailed or smoked
beef, picked pigs feet, pork, canned
and sailed, sausage, lard. lard substi-
tutes and cooking oils. Glass d. in
which the increase is cents per 100
pounds, includes meal, grain in sacks,
coke. linseed, bran, shorts, kaffir corn,
fiber. hay, fodder. rice, peas and about
80 other commodities.
The increases are taken to mean
that the railroads have not abandoned
their purpose of general advances in
rates, but that they are trying to ac-
complish their purposes piecemeal in
order not to arouse the opposition of
the shipper.
