 of cattle will be imported from Mexico this winter to restock some of the Sulphur Springs valley rang es that have become very much de- pleted.
 Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 20.-There was heavy run of cat tie at all the markets last week, caused by the difficulties of feeders in the corn belt account of severe winter weather coming before a great many of them were prepared for it. and the worst break of the year on fed steers was the result. The loss on fed steers was 40 to 75 cents, and cows and heifers declined about half as much. Range beef steers held up more nearly steady than fed steers. and stockers and feeders lost only 10 to 25 cents dur ing the week. The run today is 5000 head, here. about one third as heavy as a week ago. and all the markets are lightly supplied. and prices are 10 to 25 higher today as a result. Colorado Beef steers are selling at $4.30 to $500, some choice Colorado feeders at $500, stockers $4.00 to $4.95, and cows and heifers $3.50 to $4.75. New Mexico cows are selling at $3. 10 to $3.60, canners $2.75 to $3.l5 bulls around $3.25. heavy calves $4.50 to $5.50, veals $6. 50 to $500.
 The break last week was only temporary. as the big run of cattle could not possibly keep on coming and the quick and substantial re- covery of prices today gives en- couragement to cattle feeders that the market will hold up good from now on.
 Sheep and lambs arrived to the amount of 3l, 900 head last week. a fair run for the second week in December, and the market closed the week without much net change in prices, although fluctuations were more evident than during the pervious week. Supply today is 5000 head. market steady. Some Colorado lambs sold at $7.75 today. but $500 would not be an outside price for choice lambs. Arkansas Valley yearlings sold up to $7.l5 last Thursday. highest price this season for yeatlings. and wethers are worth $5.25 to $5.75, ewes $4.8O to $5.25. Several shipments of the pea fed lambs from the San Luis Valley are enroute, and will be on the market tomorrow. with pros- poets of landing on a good spot, if quality is up to representations of owners. Some goats have sold lately at $3.90 to $4.25, and feeding lambs from New Mexico sold at $6.50, weighing under 50 pounds, other feeding lambs at $6.40 to $6.75.

DEVELOPING WORK BEGINS
ON GROUP OF HOPPER CO
fFrom Fridays Dai,y)

Development has been commenced
an ia" lInnn"r group "f mines in the
Cherry Creek district by the Hopper
Mines Company. \ contract has been
let for the sinking Of new working
shaft to depth Of $50 feet. The
work will be rushed as fast as posi-
bic. \ hosting plant will be installed
soon and the management has under
consideration plans for large reduc
tion plant as soon as the development
of the mine insures steady ore sup
ply.
Tnc new shaft will be sunk on an
incline Of - degrees. At the depth
of $50 feet il Will reach the level OF
the deepest drifts on the ledge. Con
nection will be made with the old
workings in which there is a large
tonnage Of ore blocked out and ready
for stopping. The shaft will be con
tinued down and it is estimated that
the amount of ore blocked out with
drifts from the go foot level will
Justify toe erection Of a mill at this
stage Of development.
The vein is ten feet wide between
walls. The paystreak varies from four
10 six feet in thickness and samples
900 TO the ton in gold and copper,
the yellow metal values predominant
ing.
The property was purchased from
Elliott and Drescher, John Harlan and
A. l.. Lee six months ago. The com
mencement of operations was delayed
ON account Of the depression in the
eastern money markets. The share
holders are wealthy capitalists oil
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and tne com
pany is financed for larger operations
than ever attempted in the Cherry
Creek district.
The site of the new working shaft
was selected with a view OF erecting
the reduction plant below, so that
the product Of the mine can be placed
in the mill by the gravity system
eliminating the expense of handling
the ores by hand and otner appliances
after il is hoisted.
The group comprises four CLAIMS
located fourteen miles east OF Dewey
bradshaw Mountain Railroad. The
proper,y is advantageously situated
for economic development and opera
ton with water supply on tho
ground sufficient to supply fair
sized reduction plant.

AFRICA MINE GROUP
PASSES TO NEW OWNERS

YUMA, Jan. 23.-The africa group
Of gold mines, in The Parker district
has just been bonded by the Williams
brothers, through the Arizona agency
Of Charlie Meadows Of Yuma, the
price reaching well into six figures.
This is practically equivalent to a
sale, as negotiations have been under
way for some time ;the quality Of ore
is well known an the purchase money
is in hand for the payments.
Airs. e. II. Gray Of Phoenix was
principal owner Of the africa mines,
and they were operated twenty years
by her husband, "Uncle Lum" Gray
as he was Familiarity known 10 Ari
zona pioneers. At that time the
nearest water hole was twenty miles
from the camp and Phoenix the near
est point for supplies. The Gray fam.
lily moved into this remote desert
camp in 1900 aud began to work toe
mine.
packed across the desert on burros and
transported down the Colorado River
20 Yuma in barges, and from this
point shipped to Denver.
A small two.stamp mill was erected
with the proceeds from these ore ship
ments, and the question Of water was
the greatest obstacle against the sue
cess of the venture. After many fail.
ures and great expense, water was
finally struck within three miles Of the
mine at n depth of 100 feet. The
mine developed into a bonanza. At a
depth Of 1870 feet the ledge was six
feet wide, with average milling assays
si7 and hundred dollar ore could be
found on many Of the nine claims. 4
Denver syndicate offered s350,000 foI
the property, with an advance pay
ment of $4,000, which was promptly
refused, as there was more than that
amount in sight on the mine.
Unlocked for complications retarded
the progress before operations develop
ed much farther. Sulpnates appeared
as the water line was reached, and the
ore, which had been hitherto frce-mill
ing. had to undergo n different treat
ment. The water supply was strong
ly impregnated with magnesia and
corroded the boiler OF the mill. Thu

camp and "Unele Lum" suecumbed

Association was perfected The form.

one Of the most important develop.
men's Of recent years in the copper

man. \ secretary was agreed upon
who will have charge Of all the stats.
ties, but it is not absolutely certain
whether or not he will accept the posi-.
tion. The chances favor acceptance.
however, and TO him alone will all the
copper producers report figures of out
put and stock on hand The secretary.
whose name for business reasons il
withheld for short time. is a man Of
long experience in dealing with cop.
per statistics. and is one in whom all
the producers have the highest conf
dcnce. He has for years been promi
nently identified with the United
state Geological Survey.
An executive committee was chosen
and II is understood tnis committee is
composed Of Mr.. Livermore ex-ofiicio,
and Messrs. Broughton, of the United
Metals Selling Company, MacLean Of
Phelps, Dodge a Co.. and Clendennin,
Of the American Smelling and Refining
Company.

the copper producing interests in this
country are cooperating in the organ
ization Of the Copper Producers As

made only to secure statistics covering
the output and stocks Of copper on
hand aud these will be published
monthly.
Beginning the middle Of February
il IS probable that for the first time in
many years. official figures will he
publicly available showing the amount
Of accumulated supplies on hand and
the amount of stock in process at the
various refneries.
The producers have bound them.
selves to dvulge TO no one, except to
the secretary Of the organization, the
figures covering their individual or.
CARNATIONS. The figures OF the out
put will, of course, be aggregations
only and they will not be subdivided
as 10 show individual operations.
The members Of the new organiza-
tions have explicitly agreed among
themselves that there shall be no sug.
gestion expressed or implied as to any
regulation of price or output. The
new organization is at present purely
statistical in character.
II is hoped among those who have
been instrumental in the formation of
the new organization, that It's scope
may be gradually widened and that
later on the producers will see TT 10
report 10 this central body whenever
they make sale of copper, stating
the amount sold aud the price at when
the sale is negotiated.
The chief purpose is to remove, so
far as possible. the element of speeu.
lation in the conduct of the copper
business. II i believed that official
figures of production and stocks on
hand will be of great service not only
20 the producers themselves, but TO
