 man.
 The next district visited was the
 famous Congress section. From Con.
 gress Junction one can see the dunn
 of the Congress, the mill of the
 United Mines company, the Alvarado
 mill, the Yarnell camp. Rich Hill.
 famed for placer production, the Mil.
 dred mill, the Octave mill. the Rin.
 con mill and the vulture hills, and
 hundreds of camps with smaller de.
 velopmeht. While the Copper Creek
 and Copper Basin sections are dis.
 tinctively copper sections, the Con.
 gress country is n gold country, and
 the properties mentioned have a rec. ord for aggregate total production of close to fifty millions. With all this. it is quickly recognized that even that section is only in it's infancy.
 Many developments are planned and some under way to increase the pro. duction of that district. which at the present time is quietcr than for the last fifteen years.
 From wickenburg, in Maricops county. many Yavapai properties ar, most easily reached. The Orc Grande. only three miles away, but in Yava. pal, has had a florid history, a one. sixth interest having been sold for sioo,ooo cash. It is equipped with ten-stamp mill and has done some dia. mond drill development besides great deal of shaft and drift work. Also. in Southern Yavapai Is the Black Rick district which has . mum. ber of well known properties of splcn. did surface showing and where devcl- opments have been done to show up the ground good results have been ob- tained. In this district is the Monte Christo Silver mine which Is the cen. ter of attraction at the present time. Some ore is being taken out which is nearly pure native silver, and a large body of lower grade silver ore is being opened up. This Is considered s remarkable property. All claim owners in that section are busy look ing for a duplicate of the conditions found on the Monte Cristo.
 This particular section of Southern Yavapai should develop some good copper properties as we'll as gold and silver. F. X. O'Brien is busily deveI- oping what is known as Camp R.. and getting fine results. This is an in. dividual operation, and is unquestion. ably proving the wisdom of the owner in its development. The Monarch Mining and Smelling company Is also resuming work since the rise in the price of copper and 1t is understood that the property win be in the pro. dueing class by the end of the year.
 The great importance of Yavapai county ss a mining country cannot we'll he overestimsted, and from the on this trip, the writer predicts, that within . comparatively few years, this county will have e. tablished . record for the production of copper, gold and silver far ahead of what the most sanguine booster has ever promised. But, it will come, not from . boom nor imitation, but from careful operations by eonservat- i've people who have the money to carry out what they undertake. And, it is refreshing to note that this is the class of pleople who are at the present time taking more interest In the mining business of the county.

day:
notwithstanding the overriding of

In h house early this week, manu-
%facturers have continued to sell goods
and to buy wool: indeed the sales of
the current wcek have been largA,
including principally territory woods,
at prices fully on a parity with last
weeks sales. and in fleece woods, and
the price for three-eights Ohio comb
ing has reached 81 cents.
Perhaps the strongest feature of the
situation has been the purchases in
loss conservative fashion made by
some of the leading worsted manu-
f%acturers VINO have hitherto bought
in rather more OF a hand to mouth
manner. Besides this fact there has
been a very considerable SAMPLE bag
business done.
Arrivals of foreign wool from the

DUNS REPORT
SHOWS ACTIVITY
Everything Points to a Con-
tinuance of Present Up
ward Movement.

New York. Aug. 17.-R. G.. Dun ard
company's weekly eview Of trade to-
day
fully maintains its recent improve
ment and a further advance in .activ-
tty is noted in the reports from the
leading centers.
Everything points to a continuance
OF the present activity in iron and
steel. and the advancing trend of
quotations promises increased profits
to the producer. Consumers of Mig
iron are devoting more attention to
tnelr requirements for the first half
OF next year, but future business is
not readily accepted unless higher
prices are offered.
Basic iron is strong at $14, valley.
whlie Bessemer rules at $14.5O and
~sl4.76, valley. Crude steel is becom-
ing scarcer and merchant pig iron
all or the output for the third quar-
ter. Bessemer billets are firm at $23.
Pittsburg. and ope hearth at $3.50,
P1ttsburg. Demand for merchant
steel bars. plates and shapes. con-
tlnues to tax capacity. while tin plate
ana sheets are very active and there
is prospect of an advance in Quota
tions.
Wen maintained activity is still the
ieading feature in dry goods. Some
hesitation was caused in the cotton
goods division by the substantial de-
cine in raw cotton. but the only effect
noted was a slight s%oftening in print
cloths. drills. sheetings. duck and
heavy colored cottors show no abate-
ment in strength. and some lines OF
hne goods have advanced under tho
influence of scarcity caused by re-
duced production incident to labor
troubles.
A few sales We're reported for
China shipment, but export trade as
a whole is slow, although the move
ment on old orders is good. Cotton
yarns are quiet and practically un-
changed, but worsted yarns are in
sood demand and firm.
Although the demand for footwear
shows further improvement, the en-
hanced prices asked by manufacture
ers still cause much conservatism on
the part of buyers. ALI kinds Of
leather continue in good demand.
without any large transactions, tar
ners still refusing to contract ahead
in any considerable quantity at pres
emit quotations.
Trading ir upper feathers is steady.
out no special activity is shown. Bust
ness is in steady volume, and would
be still more active We're supplies moi

In southern Minnesota too frequent
rains after cutting in several parts af-
feeted stacking and some shocking
not we'll done begins to tell in the way
of s%proutins, though damage is not
quite considerah ln Cutting is
mostly done, but %stackins.n delayed.
South Dakota is more forward and

ing returns from 81 sections received
today show the average yield of wheat
from these is q bushels an acre, the
average yield of oats As bushels, of
rye IS bushels and barley IS bushels
acre. Farmers in the southern
part OF South Dakota have threshed
quite freely from the shock and less
in southern Minnesota. Generally
however, stacking is going on us ra-
pidly as weather will Justify. The
small grain in the southern half of
Minnesota and in South Dakota is
largely in shock. But some late sown

Work is moving on we'll in the

the north half of Minnesota nor in

progress under fair conditions,
though delayed somewhat by catchy
rains. Reports confirm former indi-
cations of large yield of matured
grain of all sorts and encouraging
