J. A. Minnear & Co. say today:
The switchmens strike i'm the west

the report that some of the mines in
the west would be unable to make ship

on the whole were lower than yester-
day and just at the moment the trend
OF the market is difficult to determine.
Railroads were weaker and will likely
see a lower level. Purchases If made
now should be from among the Indus
trials. Chief was the feature on the
curb market selling as high as 21s.
The buying of this stock was largely
for eastern accounts. Cactus was n

STEAL SANTA ROSALIA ORE.
Mexicans Bring Sacks of It Into the
United States.

High graders are getting in their
work at the Santa Rosalia mine OF
Sonora and hundreds of dollars worth
of rich ore is being stolen by the
Mexican miners, says the Bisbee Min
or.
Pascal Figures has returned to Bis
bee from Arizpe where he has been
visiting his mother. While in Sonora
he saw large amount of very high
grade gold ore that had been stolen
from the Santa Rosalia mine which is
near Arizpe.
He said that some of the miners
are getting rich by high grading. In
one instance he saw a sack of ore
from this mine that was worth $50
and at another time saw small sack
that had 800 worth of ore in it.
In some cases the ore has been
brought into Arlzpe on burros and has
been displayed openly in the town.
The high graders smuggle the ore out
of the mine and take It to a hiding
some simple hand process.
Ihey nave no trouble in disposing of
the ore as there are people who make
business of buying high grade rock
and getting it out of the country.
Thousands.o of dollars worth of ore has
been stolen from the Las Chispas mine
within the past few years, and much
of it has found its way to the United
States.
At the Santa Rosalia the miners are
paid two dollars day and jobs are
at premium. When the mine was
operated a few years ago by the
California company high grading was
practiced extensively and 1t is known
that at that time one of the men en-
ployed under ground succeeded in
smuggling out lunch bucket more
than half full of gold that he had
worked out of the ore at odd times.
