The Bisbec Review thinks the i'm
portance of the strike of sylvanite has
yet to be proven. The Review says:
The concepsus of news from Syl-
vanite is to the effect that the reports
of the new strike are really legitimate
OF course there is much hysterical ex-
aggeration concerning the new camp
as Is the invariable result of every dis.
covery of gold, but the opinion of min
ers who "know rock" and who have
been over the ground in the field that il
causing so much comment of late is to
the effect that the claims adjoining the
new mining community are really val
liable.
Charles Gerdes, one of the best known
miners in the southwest, a man who
would not exaggerate if paid to do so
says the vicinity of Sylvanite is vel
mineralized, but thinks the talk OF il
being a second Cripple Creek is pre-
mature. He says that must be proved
Mr.. Gerdes owns thirty-nine claims in
the new gold zone. He leaves tomor
row with a complete mining outfit. HI
will be accompanied by review repre-
sentative who will stay upon the ground
until he has thorough knowledge OF
the district, and who will tell exactly
what the place seems to amount to.
Gerdes gives the first news Of Syl
vanite's geologic aspect that has been
received here. Ia general way it is
series of low hills composed of lime
and fianked by two mountain ranges
ono or porphyry, the other of limestone
The hills are cut at regular intervals
about one-half mile apart. by porphyr.t
ie intrusions. 1t is in these intrusions
that the bearing lenses occur. Ger
DIES says that he believes the district
has as much indication of copper, with
depth, as it has of gold.
Charles Jones, a business man of
B'sbee. who has been identified with
this mining district almost since its
inception, and who today has mining
properties in many places in Arizona,
returned yesterday from Sylvanite. He
says the new camp has many valuable
lodges, but that the fevorish excitement
L has oecasioned is not warranted, in
asmuch rs it has not been developed
sufficiently to prove it modern Gal
conda Jones does not say that the re-
ports of it's richness are unfounded,
merely that it is yet en- unproven guam
tity beyond the rich surface ores that
have been discovered. He says the
lodges ARE well defined and that come of
them have been worked for years, nota-
bly, that owned by Woods, who has been
there since 1884,. Woods bonded his
property in the fall of 1881, Tho com
pany to whom he bonded it quit work
in 1882. It 1889 it was bonded again
and 5000 was paid to Wood before the
mummy operators decided to allow the
property 10 revert.
Billy Mcdonald and John B. Rice
have bond and lease on the property
known as the Sky Scraper. Rice is go
ing to Sylvanite today. His assays,
made by Frank w. Fish of Tucson, show
gold values of $3.50 per ton, and high
averages in silver.
Among many we'll known Bisbce peo-
pie now in Sylvanite are b. j. O'Reilly,
Fred Suffer, Burt Hurst and =. w.

Market News

The character of the market was
clearly indicated by yesterdays erratic
course of prices, emphasizing the fact
that it is strictly professional and, fur
thermore, that the majority of traders
have little confidence in a sustained bull
movement in stocks at this time. Dur.
ing the forenoon the prices of leading
railroads and industrials rose rapidly,
several issues scoring gains of one to
three points. Within an hour of the
close of the days trading, however,
there was rush to take profits and on
heavy offerings the gains of the fore
noon were nearly all wiped out and in
several instances prices were carried be.

day,
The big fnanciers are carrying bur
densome loads of stock which they are
trying to sell 70 public that heretofore
has refused to buy. 1t looks as though
every time the market sells up two OF
three points an attempt is made to dis
tribote stocks, and whenever the mar
ket is much weakened by liquidation
support is given. 1t is probable that
these tactics will be pursued up to the
day of the election, for it is not al
all likely that the non-professional op'

the result of the presidential election
shall have been made known.
