There was further activity in the
market today, resulting in higher prl-
oes. Steel common and Union Pa
cific were the New York leaders, both
scoring substantial advances for the
day. There was considerable activity
i'm the Boston market. Michigan sold
down to So on the report that all oper-
atoms at the mine were to be suspend
ed. Wyandot was strong on the report
that very rich ore had been encoun-
tered in the long crosscut. The weak
ness in North Lake caused some sell
ing of stocks in the Ontonagon district
mines. Arizona Commercial was active
and a little higher in anticipation OF
the blowing in of the new smelters
There was good trading in practically
all of the curb issues, with consider
able inquiry for the Globe stocks
Montana Clinton was higher on the
rumor of an important deal pending

sumed and 1t looks as though II might
sell a little higher. 1t is reported that

made i'm Steel common, and that the

Boston.-Although the date for de-
claring the next quarterly dividend on

probable action by the directors is
already a matter of gossip. The gen

shown no Improvement of consequence,
and il is known that the management
favors a very conservative policy 1t
is claimed that the property Is, or
rather the subsidiaries are, earning
more than the current dividend rate
but it is doubted by many of the sur
plus above the dividends Is very large,
The fact that the price stays up SO

for charging the scope of the company

Live Oal<--Among the most promis-
ing properties with which the future
Of the Miami as n prosperous and
growing city is closely bound mp is
that of the Live oak Development
company. This company was organ
lied last February under the laws OF
Arizona: its capitalization is nfty
thousand shares of stock at par value
of $40 a share. OF this issue of stock
at SO par, only SO has been called so
that a call of 81 share is still avail
able If the company finds that the
money is needed in development work.
The officers of the Live Oak Develop
ment company are Hoval A. Smith,
president; Henry b. Hovland, vice.
president; Havey Page Smith, seere-
tary and treasurer. The directors In
cmde the list of officers named above,
also Walter Barrows and ID. l.. Fair
child. The property of the Live Oak
Development company comprises about
2i0 acres of mineral land. The sur
face equipment includes n twenty-five
horse power gasoline hosting engine,
a single drum hoist. a substantial gal
lows frame and an air compressor
with full complement Of machine
drills. At the Live Oak mine the plan
laid out by the management some time
ago for n thorough exploration by
means of prosecuting the property into
200 foot squares is being carried out
by strong force of men in charge OF
Supt Maybush. Since the completion
of the sulphide tunnel and its connec-
ton with the drift running from the
vertical shaft, access to the mine Il
had through the tunnel and all the ore
taken out i'm development work is als'
brought to the surface through thi:
passage. so far the work atFthe Live
oak on the 200 level is more than JUST
fying the belief of the management
that a large lentlcular body of sui
phide commercial ore may be developed
Ivy the series OF crosscuts planned
Northwest from the shaft n crosscu
has been run out for $50 feet and II
the face of this, there is suIphide ore
averaging per cent copper. This
crosscut runs i'm the same general di'
rcction as the long sulphide tunne
mentioned, so that. virtually th'
crosscut is an extension of that tun-
mel. From a point in the tunnel 81
feet southeast of the shaft to the enc
OF the 200-foot crosscut running north
west from the shaft, continuous sui
phide ore body has been found averag
ing better than 2as per cent copper
For the last twenty feet this crosscu
has been in ore running better than

Boston--It Is good opinion in New
York copper circles that the so-called
invisible supply of copper on the other
side of the water is being rapidly de-
pleted. A few months ago this sup.
ply was placed by the Rio Tinto Cop
per interests at 100000 pounds. Tha
belief is now entertained that it docd
not amount TO over 25,000,000 poun Is
If it is even at this figure. The re-
duction in the visible supply-copper
carried I'm second hands by merchants
and dcalers-is advanced as explaining
i'm some degree the steady increase in
the visible supply in London ware
houses None of the larger New York
selling interests evidence, the slightes'
apprehension concerning the copper
situation. They are not pleased with I
but assert that the price cannot &c
any lower and that from now on the
statistical position should show inn
provement however slight A membel
of the firm of Phelps, Dodge and Co
says: while appreciating the value

Copper Producers association, an

no burdensome surplus of copper If y
were not for these figures. The brass
and wire manufacturers now know a
much about copper as do the producer
and consequently are perfectly Willing
! that the selling companies should car

factugcrs were willing to stock up 70

but now they are working from han'
to mouth on the smallest stocks eve
known and are permitting the produc
ers and selling companies to care
the load. | am confident we shall wit

The above first four interests sell
copper primarily from properties un-
der their immediate control. The two
latter are selling agencies solely and
have contract relations with various
Independent mines, both in this country
and abroad.
Should the Cole-Ryan Guggenheim

the control of s00,oOO,0O0 pounds of

the industry. and II is the belief of
very strong interests in New York that
such a combination Is in the first sta
