SAYS GLOBE WILL BE GREATER THAN BISBEE
OPINION OF SPENCER W. CLAW
 SON, FORMER MINE sUPERIN-
 PENDENT OF COPPER QUEEN ENTHUSIASTIC OVER OUTLOOK.

Spencer w. Clawson, member of the firm of Clawson & Dillingham;, mining engineers and experts of Los Angeles, Cal, is visiting in Calumet for few days this week, says the Michigan Min ing Gazette. MT. Clawson is thor. oughly posted mining man and one of long experience. He is one of the best copper mining authorities, in fact, in America.
 Mir. Clawson has just arrived in Cal umet after visit at the Globe and Bisbee camps and he Is very enthusi- astic over the copper outlook in the southwest, especially at Globe, the younger camp. From his long connec- tion with the famous Copper Queen mine, where Mir, Clawson was mining superintendent for fifteen years, he is thoroughly capable of venturing an opinion, and this opinion, stated to Cal umet gentlemen yesterday, is a very flattering one, indeed, for the Globe camp, and some of the properties there.
 Mir. Clawson says Globe is great camp and has great possibilities. He believes that some of the properties there, especially, will become among the greatest copper mines in the world, and even ventures to state that the Globe camp will take pre-eminence over the Bisbee camp in the not very distant future.
 Mir. Clawson knows Arizona ores and Arizona formations, too, and knows well whereof he speaks.
 Speaking of Superior & Boston, in which so many copper country invest ors are interested, MT. Clawson says he believes that mine will become one of the biggest in the southwest. ''It is surely winner," he remarked to a friend here yesterday.
 Mir. Clawson also speaks very well of the Miami, the Globe and other proper. ties at the Globe camp.

NEW YORK, December l.-Profes. ,oral operators in stocks did most of .Do day $ business in the market. Their ropsaetions were' in that class of se- ,nrties designated as speciAlties for the most part, market pools making their :rauenee felt in more than one case in moyin gprices much at will.
 Yesterdays heavy fall in the price .. Steel shares was followed today by fnrtber free offerings of that stock. The dealings were on scale unusually bsayy even with so unweildy a market medium as this security is, by reason of inc huge bulk of its capital. A sin ,o transaction of 10000 shares of Steel was made on the floor during the day, tbe block being taken by one purchaser although several sellers contributed to Ina trade. The movements of Steel had sDch an impressive influence on specu- I.tiye sentiment toward the whole mar. kst that it was difficult to overcome it by contrary movements in other stocks. The market closed considerably unset tied.

COPPER WILL SOON SELL
 HIGHER SAYS STANTON

John k. Stanton says: "The copper market, while strong, is for the moment practically stationary. There is no pressure to sell except on the part of a few specul,.tors looking for a chance to cover ther shorts. Consumers are fairly well stocked for immediate needs and dealers in Lake do not consider attractive any offer under l5 cents. The market is being made in London, where there is considerable specula- tion, but the prospect of any of the foreign copper being returned to the home market is remote. The large clec- trical contracts Shat have been held over and which are now commencing to get under way again, together with the new projects requiring large amounts of the metal are the strongest sort of bull ar guments ard dealers are content to hold back in the conviction that 15-cent copper will become an actuality before the opening of the new year, and that the first quarter of 1909 will see even higher prices"
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-12-02

"While the world s market has been reactionary of late, the decline has been of an orderly character and the techni- cal situation has been improved in con sequence There is evidence of accu. mutation at these levels and the market appears to be manipulated for this pur- pose. During the past year the rise in the average price of securities has been extensive, but it cannot be argued from this that higher level may not be reached. The present bull market has been constructed on the frmest of foundations and the conditions which made this possible still exist. ''-Dewing & Co.

Silver continues to decline and yes. terday touched 47 7.S, the lowest price at which the white metal has sold since 1901, when it declined to 46.l cents per ounce. The causes for the present weakness are fairly well known. China and India have been selling, and India is not expected to buy an ounce of silver for minting purposes until 1910. Trade depression has reduced the con. sumption by the arts, since silver, be. ing largely luxury, is tabooed when the wealthy classes find it necessary to economize. Germany's l0,000,O00- ounce purchase has not yet been made, while Mexico and the United States are buying about l50,000 ounces each week ly. The insular department, which was authorized to purchase 70,00O.000 ounces has still more than 50,000,000 ounces to buy, but it appears to be in no hurry to enter the market on large scale. The New York authorities on silver do not take cheerful view of the outlook. They would not be greatly surprised should the quotation fall to the low rec ord of seven years ago. The world s production of silver shows no diminu- tion.

Bring Up Sanity Question Again.

br1n8 up San1ty question Aga1n. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. December l. -"It is the purpose of these bank. ruptcy proceedings to raise the ques. tion of Thaw's insanit yina United States courtf' asked Judge Burlington, who with Judges Dallas and Gray, is hearing arguments in the matter of the appeal to bring Harry K. Thaw from the Matteawan asylum to Pittsburg to testify in bankruptcy proceedings. Former Governor Stone, at whom the question was directed, replied that he was in court in the interest of writ of habeas corpus to bring Thaw to Pittsburg, where his assistance was needed properly to marshal his estate, and he did not know what Thaw's cred itcrs might do.
 The answer proved to be the most in teresting incident in the first days pro- ceedings in the Thaw case in the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals which will review the decision ~of Judge Young of the United States court for the western district of Pennsylvania. who dismossed the writ of habeas cor pus issued by Judge Archibald of the United States court for the middle dis trict of Pennsylvania.
 Judge Burlington wanted to know what Thaw could testify to if he at tended the meeting of his creditors in Pittsburg, and Stone replied that he could tell of contracts he made with his brother and sisters, growing out of their fathers will; of contracts and agreements with ahenists and many other matters. He said there may pos sibly be some fraudulent claims among those presented by his creditors, and that bills that might be properly dis puted.
 For instance,' added Stone, Ca lawyer named Gleason has been given $30,000 by Thaw and wants $60 900 more, and all he did was to hold down a chair at one of Thaw's trials.n
 Judge Burlington also wanted to know if it wa stbe purpose to return Thaw to New York after he had testified in the bankruptcy proceedings, and coun- sel replied that it was.

Mines and Markets

market for copper was unsettled, copper stocks showed considerable resistance to the general declining tendency. Local stocks acted we'll, Old Dominion and Arizona Commercial showing firmness. Profit taking in Superior & Boston caused it to sell off to below 15, but there was good recovery later and the close was at l6 bid. We were pleased to learn that the sharp advance in Su- perior & Boston Monday was not due to any contest for control, but to the steady improvement in the Great East ern mine. The winzc fifteen feet below water level is in fine carbonate and glance ore, and smelter returns from recent shipments of ore show a most gratifying improvement. Miami was rather weak and lost three-eighths of a point. With the cessation of the heavy selling in Steel, which is to be expected within day or two, there should be substantial improvement in prices.
