BUSINESS is GROWING;
THE PROSPECT GOOD.

A Record representative this morn
ing talked to a prominent merchant
of Roswell, and the conversation
drifted into a discussion of the pres
ent business situation and the pros
poets for the coming year. AS view
ed by the merchant, the business sit
nation here is decidedly good, and
daily growing better. The building
in sight in Roswell during the COM
ing year has had a tendency to in
crease business of all kinds, and the
good feeling over the outlook, the
big crops in prospect, ETC., all tend
to stimulate business.

It is generally agreed that the par ties who have conducted the bull cam paign would like to tighten their bur. dens could they obtain the prices now prevailing, but it is also well under. stood that the public are not disposed to facilitate any such operation. Here is typical commission house comment: {: "The sentiment seems to be that dis. tribution of stocks has been going on for several days, which might as we'll be attributed to an effort on the part of bull cliques to create fresh short interest upon which to start another upward movement as to desire on the part of the owners of stocks to dispose of their holdings. The only difference between the two is that every element of reasonableness would apply to tho first sentiment. At present levels the holders of such enormous blocks of stocks would seem to be following all prudence in Tightening cargo with the election 80 close at hand"

PROBERT TALKS OF
 SUPER|0R.BOSTON
SPLENDID RECORD OF DEVELOP. MENT AND PRoDUcTIoN-sHIP. FED ss0,ooo WORTH OF ORE IN SIX MONTHS.
(Michigan Mining Gazette.)

Frank H. Probert, consulting en- gineer for the Superior & Boston com pany, now in Houghton on a business visit to the office of the company here, was seen by reporter for the Ga- zette yesterday. Questioned as to the work on the Superior & Boston proper ty, MT. Probert said:
 "We are more than satisfied with the progress of work on the property and with the prospects for the imme- diate future. On the property of course you know that our Great Eastern mine is perhaps attracting the greatest at tention. On this mine we have opened the ore body, which outcrops on the surface, on the one hundred, two hun dred, four hundred and the lowest level, which is the water level. On the first and second levels, we did very little work, but on the four hundred foot level, since last May we have developed commercial ore and have shipped ESQ., 900 worth of ore which has averaged z per cent in copper and five ounces in sil- yer. The ore shoot on that level is 260 feet lond, developed by raises eighty feet above, with an average width of twelve feet. We sank a winze fifty six feet to the water and from the bot tom drifted east and west through much higher grade ore than exposed above, and now have exposed an ore shoot pitching cast for horizontal distance of $50 feet, the full width of the drift without any diminution of values and every indication of continuity east. wards.
 "We are now approaching the prop erty line on the west. Inasmuch as on the 400-foot level We have 26o feet and on the lower level, fifty-six feet lower, we have over $50 feet, there is no question whatever that the ore body pitches east and we have every reason to believe that further developments at still lower level will show a much greater horizontal extent of the ore body and the property will thereby be greatly increased in value.
 "Within six months we have not only shipped over ss0,00O from the Great Eastern, but have blocked out an ore body conservatively valued at $600,000; have paid from our ore ship ments practically all operating costs of the Great Eastern and fair propor- tion of the cost of sinking the three compartment Gardner shaft to a yer
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-11-01

tical depth of 45O feet, we have cut the station at the second, third and fourth levels and are now crosseutting to the three veins known to outerop in the immediate vicinity.
 "In the Gardner shaft, which was sunk under the personal supervision of MT. Carter, we have not only made the record for speed in the Globe camp, but to distance of 450 feet we have shown an average cost not exceeding $56 per foot.
 ''T am of the opinion that within six weeks we shall have out the Black Oxide vein and the Iron King and the assets of the company will be material ly increased. The Black Oxide vein, which we have developed 90O feet on the strike, is identical in all 'says with the Black Hawk vein, both in regard to the vein filling and tbe nature of tho ore exposed aGa ws fully expect the drifts from the bottom of the Gardner shaft will expose even higher grade ore than that already found. Our intention now is to properly equip the shaft so that we can the more diligent- ly prosecute development.
 "As to the values, we might state that in drifting from the lowest level of the Great Eastern, orc shipped to the Fl Paso smelter netted Superior & Boston Copper company over $20 per ton on l3c copper market. One big approximating 100 tons, gave us a gross value of $4l.O4 per ton, and netted the company $3,OsO.3o on this shipment alone.
 "It seems to me that about covers the conditions, excepting those details which we covered thoroughly in re- cent letter to the shareholders.

was an active one and the position of the metal now is decidedly stronger than it was a week ago. While the buying of copper the last half of the week was largely for foreign account, still quite big business was done with domestic consumers. The demand con tinues brisk and numerous inquiries are being received from consumers and job bers throughout the country. As yet little business has resulted with the jobbers, but the indications are that this week will result in some orders be- ing placed. A great many of the more conservative consumers have not yet entered the market, there being a dispo. sition on their part to await the re- suit of the national election. Following that, it is expected that considerable increase in copper sales will result. One of the largest independent selling agents announced Saturday that his concern was sold up until January:
 Some of the prominent producers are quoting the market firm at l3A for electrolytic. A sale of upwards of 100000 pounds of pig copper for Lon don account was made Saturday at l3Ac, which is equivalent to l3A for electrolytic, and sales of lake copper in small lots have been effected at slightly higher than l3Ac to domestic consumers. In some quarters it is stated that producers hesitate in accepting or. ders at below l3Ac and that during this week the market will rule strong st that level, if prices do not actually advance further. European stocks arc estimated at about 6 per cent of the world supply.
 The principal share holder in large combination of copper and brass roll ing, and wire-drawing mills, outlines the copper situation as follows: "Our mills are working about 67 per cent of capacity. Under normal conditions, we consume s5,OOO,ooO pounds of copper year. The lull in business has given the opportunity for number of our big copper and brass mills to construct additions, put in new machinery, and otherwise improve plants. Construction is going on at six copper and brass mills in Connecticut.
 "Stocks of copper and brass arc small in first and second hands. All the big mills are running even handed with demands. We are getting a good run of specifications from makers of ammunition, and the distributors who supply makers of gas and electric lighting fixtures and architectural cop per workers. Contracts recently closed in twelve larger cities of the United States for architectural copper, bronze and brass work call for l6,000,O00 pounds of copper before July l. The copper wire business is dull. But I am told by the president of an import. ant telephone company, which has done little construction for year, that they are preparing specifications for a lot of new work to begin in March next, that will require about 35,O00,00o pounds of copper and brass''

Boston, October 3l.-The strength of the copper metal market is indicated by the fact that Phelps, Dodge & Co. and the American Smelling & Refining company are refusing to sell copper for January delivery at anything like pres ent prices. Phelps, Dodge 6 Co. are said to have sold all the copper they have on hand and all they can produce during the balance of the year.
 The best informed interests in New York state that there is practically no copper on hand and they predict If cents for electrolytie after election. By the first of the year they fully expect electrolytic to sell for l5 cents or even higher.

Market News

Yesterdays short session of the stock market was without any feature of particular importance. The market opened slightly lower and toward the close there was considerable liquidation in evidence and most of the active | stocks lost from one to two points. Next Monday we look for repetition of Saturdays trading. Liquidation will probably be the rule among the pro. fessional spectators who will not care to carry stocks over the election. We believe that stocks bought on Monday will insure good profits to the purchaser.
 Total interest and dividends payable by railroad, industrial and traction cor porations in November will reach $76,. 590,l73, of which dividend disburse. ments will furnish $29 9,090,l73, or de. crease of $4,554,ss7 as compared with the corresponding period a year ago. Interest payments involved $47, 1900, 900, or an increase of $2,500,000. The fore. going total does not include dividends by banks and trust companies nor inter est disbursements by the national gov ernment, counties and municipalities. The aggregate of these various pay. ments amounts to slS,l00,000. Adding the disbursements just noted to those of railway, traction and industrial corpora tions makes a grand total for every. thing of $94,6so,l73.
 GAS to the future, it is somewhat perplexing and confused; and it is quite possible that stocks and trade may not move along together. The stock market seems to have fully discounted all i'm provement in the business situation both present and prospective. In fact, not few stocks are selling too high, considering that prices are above year ago when business profits were much above present level. But the floating supply of securities is held in strong hands, backed by an unlimited amount of cheap money. These big holders ap- pear united in their purpose to lift pricos to higher level, and as long as they hold together it will be difficult to bring about any great reaction. The bear slde of the market is weak in both talent and resources; consequently the bullS may even yet secure addition. al success over what they have already achieved; yet it is certain that on all advances the big holders will attempt to tighten their load and turn their present big paper profits into cash. The shrewd buyer, therefore, will take these

Unless nine of every ten people close ly interested in the stock market are
 mistaken the speculative position is well understood. Briefly, securities have been accumulated by the wealthiest groups in this country. The time is now at hand for turning these securities into money. Heretofore the public have consistently refused to clamor for stocks at so high prices, so that dis tribution has been impossible. The manipulators are hopeful--hopeful rath. CT than confident-that thousands of investors at home and abroad are sim plcy waiting impatiently for news of MT.
