sl25.OO0 HAS BEEN EXPENDED
COPPER AND SILVER ZONE MINE BEING PRorITABLY WORKED
 BY H. W. CLARK

4 feature of the local mining district which seems to be little emphasized by those who are promoting its growth and developing its resources is that, in nearly every case where copper orc is found in paying quantities, such per centages of gold and silver are also found as to afford no small amount of what is known in the vernacular as "veivet." These percentages show values of gold and silver running from $l to $l00 ton, and in many cases this pays for the cost of smelting and refining. The belief is growing among mining men of Globe and vicinity that important gold discoveries are yot to be made here, and the amount of this metal heinz found in number of the nearby mines strongly supports this conviction. The mining industry of Arizona is yet in it's infancy. New dis tricts are fast coming into prominence, and all the tremendous possibilities that lie latent in them make Globe s growth and prosperity as territorial metropolis certainty.

MARKET UNSETTLED AND PRICES SAG
 LOWER
REPORT OF FAILURE TO LIST STEEL IN PARIS HAS DE-
 PRESSING EFFECT
COPPER LOWER BOTH MARKETS
MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT GIVES CRoAKERs OPPORTUNITY TO
 GET OUT HAMMERS

NEW YORK, June l6.--The unset clement in the stock market which started yesterday proceeded to such a length today as to bring out forcible measures for the protection of prices from great banking interests and others interested in maintaining prices.
 United States Steel was the center of the disturbance. Reports from Paris seemed to confirm the rumo rthat efforts to secure the admission of United States Steel to the Paris Bourse had failed through the refusal of the government official whose consent is necessary.
 The disturbing effect of this and the acute weakness of United States Steel was contested by powerful buying ord CTS for the stock, designed to support the price, and by renewed assurances of J. P. Morgan & Co, of their conf dence that the plan for introducing United States Steel to the Paris Bourse would be carried out.
 The effect was not confined to Steel stocks, the whole list showing sharp declines during the morning and being subjected to pronounced pressure for liquidation.
 The expected message of the presi dent, which proved to have been quite accurately outlined in the news, was dwelt on by some of the sellers of stocks as possible opening for re newed agitation in congress on the whole subject of corporation control.
 A decline in copper in London and at the New York metal exchange were incidents of the day that worked to- ward depression of speculative senti- ment.
 Activity of the market was much curtaiIed at the partly restored prices of the latter part of tho day, and the closing tone was irregular.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales $4,- 9s4, 900. United States bonds unchanged.

COPPER AND SILVER ZONE

One of the local mines from which ore in paying quantities is being talk en. but of which little has been heard in a public way, is the Copper and Sii- yer Zone group of 22 claims which lie about three miles east of the city and nearly on line with Cedar street. This mine is owned principally by IL. W. Clark, who is working it in mod est way. but proftably nevertheless. Eight of the claims adjoin the Old Dominion holdings near the Superior X Boston mine.
 For the past year copper and silver ore has been found in the shallow work ings that have been made, and since January l, about $l,7o0 worth of ore has been shipped to the smelters. This may be considered an excellent show ing in view of the fact that none of the winzes go far below the surface.
 The geological indications are that the Copper and Silver Zone claims are cut by several large veins. Large hme and iron deposits, such as exist on the Superior 1& Boston property nearby, are also fopnd on the north end of these holdings. The probability IS that some company will, in the near future, take over these claims and develop them into one of the best paying mines in Globe district. It is understood that several men of capital are now inter- ested in the property. For the present, r. l.. Barrett, superintendent of the Globe Electric Light and Gas company,

CHICAGO, June l6.--Wheat was weak nearly nll day and at the low point of the session prices were nearly 9 cents below the high point touched in the first half hour $ trading. Weak ness prevailed at the opening owing to the heavy foreign markets, but prices quietly advanced about F cent on GOV ering by shorts, based to some extent on rains in Oklahoma and southern Kansas, which, it was claimed would delay harvesting.
 The upward trend, however, brought out renewed selling and prices again fell Selling pressure, which for the last few days has been confined to July, spread today to more deferred months, particularly September. During the day July sold between IA and ll5M and closed at ll4h.
 September ranged between l07% and lO9M to + and closed at the bottom.

DAILY MARKET LETTER
 AND STOCK QUOTATIONS

BOSTON, June l6.--Weakness of yesterday brought a good many selling orders this morning, more especially affecting Amalgamated and Steel. A serious hitch seems to have arisen which will probably prevent listing of Steel common on the Paris Bourse. Bear traders took advantage of this fact to sell down the whole list. The technical position of the market, however, is very strong, and it seems there is no weak element to be frightened out by their little drives. Around noon the general list rallied when shorts tried to cover We believe much higher prices will be reached during the bal ance of this year, and advise purchases of good copper stocks whenever they are weak.

PROBING DEATH MYSTERY.
Body is Exhumed and Stomach to Be
Examined by Chemist.

New Lewisville.-The sudden death
of Miss Fife Kitchens, a highly re
spected young lady living near Stamps,
has caused the greatest sensation that
community has ever experienced. She
was the daughter of James Kitchens,
an influential farmer, was we'll edu-
Gated, handsome and a general favor
lite i'll that community.
1t is understood that two parties
are under surveillance, but as yet no
arrests have been made. The general
opinion is that one or two things has
happened, namely, that she was either
foully murdered or was suicide, with
the preponderance of weight to the
murder theory.
The body was exhumed and the
stomach sent to Kraus at Memphis
for examination, and the coroner's ver-
diet was withheld until the analysis
can be made, and his report as to
whether the stomach contained poison
will enter largely into the verdict of
the jury.

STRUCK GAS AT
RUSSELLVILLE
Drilling Will be Continued Until
Stronger Flow is Secured.

Russellville.-A good flow of gas
has been found in the gas well at this
place at a depth of 2,150 feet. The
flow is many times stronger than that
in the old well and burns to the height
of six feet or over. 1t also has
great pressure back of it.
Drilling is still going on and it is
thought that the desired quantity with
which to accommodate the town will
soon be found. Unlike the old well. the
new one has no stream of artesian
water, therefore, the flow of gas is
much stronger, as it does not have to
force itself through over 1000 feet of
water before it comes to the surface.
The abandoned well has a flow of gas
which burns to the height of about
one foot when lighted. 1t is said that
the flow in the new we'll is 100 per
cent greater than that in the old. OF
course, it is meant by this that that
estimation includes pressure as well
as the height to which it burns.

HIS OPINION is
NOT NECESSARY
Attorney General Holds Penitentiary
Superintendent's Opinion is VaIu-
able, but Not Really Necessary.

Little Rock.-The question as to
whether the Penitentiary Board has
authority to grant the parole of a
convict without the recommendation
of the superintendent of the peni-
tertiary was decided by Attorney Gen
eral Hal L. Norwood in an opinion
to the effect that the board has the
power.
In his opinion, Mr. Norwood holds
that in the matter of the parole of a
prisoner the superintendent is only re-
quired to advise with the board and
give his opinion as to the fitness OF
the prisoner for parole, and. if it
was the intention OF the act for The
opinion of the superintendent TO be
conclusive in the matter of paroling
a prisoner, the ACT would not have
provided that the Judge prosecuting
attorney and other officers shall fur
nish information to the board when
called upon.
My conclusions are" says the at
torney general that the opinion Of
the superintendent is merely advisory
with the board in the matter of pa
rolling prisoner and while the in
dividual members of the board would
no doubt, attach considerable inn
portance to the superintendent opin
ion, it was not intended by the act
for his opinion to be absolutely CON
elusive in the matter. If the leg
islature had intended that no prison
er should be paroled unless it met
with the approval of the superintend-
ent, it would not have required the
board to meet to consider the advis-
ability of paroling a convict and of
getting advice and information from
other officers as to the record, etc.
OF the prisoner, but would have plac-
ed the whole matter in the hands of
the superintendent of the peniten-
tiary"
