Robinson mentions the activity noticeable at the Little Daisy, whicE continues to ship daily its high grade copper ores. The new huge electrir hoist is operating and is one Of thc most modern of equipments in thc State. The aerial tramway begins running in about thirty days.
 He also mentioned the Green Mo1- ster, which is fully financed vii many of the leading citizens of thi State freely subscribing to the initia development fund, and ample capita. is now ready for beginning work Half dozen other camps are spring ing up, and one pleasing feature of the general outlook in that field is the confidence behind every move ment and the optimism which prevails among all investors.

TUNGSTEN FEVER
 SEIZES TIP TOP COUNTRY
(From Fridays Daily.}

Returning from the Tip Top coun- try on Wednesday, Sterling Hummer and Art Cook, gave quite an interest ing interview on the interest shown toward that abandoned silver field, owing to its tungsten naturalization, and since the old Tip Top mine has started operating on this basis of pro- duction.
 Scores of prospectors are making locations, and investing concerns are coming in from all sections of the West. "The tungsten fever is raging, and this Winter will see some exten- sive development given new proper ties" they stated. Another matter mentioned was that old dumps of carly day silver cnloriders are being investigated, and in some cases the tungsten character of the product has resulted in relocations being made "The old Tip Top reviving and being proven tungsten property of i'm mense value, is the occasion for the stampede, and miners who worked in that belt as long ago as thirty years, are again coming back to make loca- tions of certain properties that were abandoned when silver slumped in the memorable crash, and incidentally when tungsten ores were thrown over the old dumps as worthless" Plum mer and Cook nave made six locations on a certain belt six miles southwest of the Tip Top, on which they start development next week. They will pack to Castle Hot Springs and from that point freight to Hot Springs Junction, on the s. F., P. & P. They are laying in equipment and supplies for their new camp.

YAVAPAI TUNGSTEN
 NATIONWIDE FAME
(From Thursdays Doi1y.)


 It was learned yesterday from reli- able sources that early in the coming year a representative of one of the biggest steel manufacturing firms in the nation will arrive in Prescott tc make investigations and close deals for tungsten, molybdenite and kin dred metals, going so far as to make purchases of properties in which this class of mines are to be favorably re ported upon.
 This will be the first time known ia which the manufacturer enters the market to become identified with pro- ducing mines as an operator, and Is due to the comparatively limited sup ply and the urgent demands for filling huge orders both at home and abroad that cannot be accommodated under prevailing conditions. The wide pub licity of recent strikes of tungsten and kindred metals in Yavapai county has reached the big firms of the East, and to secure this valuable product on the ground is the purpose for the future.

TWISTS AROUND FOR
 MILES ON SHORT TRIP
(From Fridays Da;!x.)


 "I do not care at this time to ad- vance an opinion, professionally or individually as to the merits of the Tip Top field in tungsten possibilities, hut l do wish to be quoted in another matter, which appeals to me as a gross oversight, which affects that wonderful mineral region, in the lack of wagon road facilities" said James D. Sennett, a Los Angeles mining engineer, when seen at his i1otel yes terday.
 T have been informed that the dis tance from Prescott to the Tip Top camp is approximately 60 miles by the old wagon road. which is impass- able. My trip to certain property ir the district required trip by rail from Prescott to Phoenix of l38 miles, and then by auto to Castle creek Of over 5S miles, or a total of l96 miles to reach a point at dis tance of not to exceed 65 miles. This is wrong, and the roundabout trip creates a very unfavorable impress sion on the investor, when time is an essential matter, not taking into con sideration the unnecessary expense" "
 Those identified with the Tip Top Heath Company, now active, give a similar report, while in the Black Canyon country, the Harris, the Kay, and other mines operating, also ask 10 have the old road to the Tip Top country reopened, when Turkey sta ton on the Bradshaw rairoad would serve as a gateway to the old district, which is again revived. Prescott would profit by this restoration Of the old highway, as well would scores of mines be benefited, without taking into consideration what the Tip Top tungsten fields are certain to produce in the next few months. This import ant matter is to be presented to the board of supervisors early in the coming year by representative people.

TUCSON LOSES ITS
 OLDEST INHABITANF

TUCSON, Dec 21.-Living a gen eration beyond the allotted three score and ten, Ignacio Ruelas, resident of Tucson since 1862, died at his home, 244 South Eighth, aged l05 years.
 Mir. Ruelas had eight children, six of whom have already died; "A grand children, and more than 40 great grandchildren. One son who survives him is more than 80 years of age.
 In the death of Mir. Ruelas Tucson loses probably its oldest inhabitart. It is hard for the average person to realize the span of life that the aged patriarch enjoyed, stretching as 1t did from 1910, when Napoleon was at the height of his power, to the pres ent time when Europe is again plung- ed into a bloody struggle for suprem- acy. In 1910. when Ruelas was born at Cuculpe, Son., Napoleon was at peace and occupied with his marriage to Maria Louise, the Austrian arch duchess, but before he was six years of age the power of Napoleon had waned and he had met defeat on tine field of Waterloo.
 Ruelas in his early boyhood and youth saw Mexico throw off the rule of the arrogant Spaniard and rise to an independent power. He was on towards middle age when the rupture with the United States occupied in 1S47, and in 1862, when Ruelas re- moved to Arizona, he was already looked on as one of the elder men. although that was the time when the North and South were battling for victory and a large portion of the young men who fought in the con- fict are already dead.
 Ruelas, in the 5 years that he re sided in Tucson, saw the town grow from small trading post to met ropolitan city. He kept his interest in public affairs to the last and re- tained his faculties until the time of his death. During his activity he was a cattleman.

EXCELLENT OUTLOOK
 FOR CONGRESS MINES
(From Thursdays Daily.}

The formal taking over of the hold ings of the Congress mines is expec,- ed to take place early in January, it was learned yesterday from an arrival in the city. The Merrill Metallurgicai Company, of San Francisco, has prac- tically closed the deal after conduct- ing thorough as we'll as exhaustive testing of values contained in the oil tailings dump, estimated at nearly 100000 tons and in making an eX- animation of the mine workings. The outcome of both investigations is said to have been highly gratifying. The first move will be to install new re- duction plant, in which special ma chinery will be introduced for grind ing the old mill output, the process of recovery of values being known 10 only those interested. The plant will be a large one, capable of handling several hundred tons per day. Mine work also is to go ahead and the pro duct also will be treated by the new method. The probable reviving of this famed gold property is having wonderful effect in stimulating other mines in that field to resume, and some quite large deals are said to be pending.

(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Returning yesterday from Oak creek, T. L. Morris, in charge of con struction for the Arizona Mine Sap ply Company, stated he mad filled the biggest mechanical equipment order for his house ever known for single locality in a special line of pumping machines for six ranchers.
 This move" Morris stated, sig ralizes the passing of the dry ranch for the wet ones in the future, and the apparatus placed in action means that irrigating is to begin at once. The gasoline engine is the driving power for pumping, and a good feature of the new wet ranches is that all will have an unlimited supply of water So draw on from that creek. My firm is to fill two more big engine orders at once for that section. in which very large acreage is to be taken from the dry to the wet method of farming. Oak creek is not only the beauty spot of the country, but it is solidly an chored to good times"

ALL CLASSES OF
 CATTLE SUFFER DECLINE

1 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Dec. 20.- The cattle market after Monday last week showed declines oi
 Is 10 5 cents on the various classes.
 Stockers and feeders lost their gain Of the first of the week, especially feeders, which found slow sale. Re ceipts today are l5,000 head, and the market is strong on all classes. A large share of the supply is stockers and feeders, beef grades being rela- lively scarce, and good to choice fin ished cattle entirely lacking. A drove oi short fed middle class steers weigh ing l,200 pounds was put Up by a packer at $665, and good quality short fed steers. some of them Of good weights, sell at $7 to $7.75, pret- ty high grade steers being required to get above $S. Some Panhandle fed steers sold at $7.70 today. Cows bring $5.25 to $625 in most cases, bulls $525 to $6, veals $S to $925.
 Stockers and feeders are not selling quite as brisk today. although some yearling steers brought $S. Generally speaking well bred thin steers, in all weights from 600 to l,l50 pounds sell around $6.65, while plain stockers, good colors and good doers, sell at S5.50 to SC.
 The sentiment prevails here that beef cattle will be plentiful through the Winter, and also during the grass season next Summer. Breeding stock remains firm, well bred light young cows selling at $525 to $5.60, heifers at $5.75 to $7.5O, including the fancy kinds.
 Hogs arrived to the number of l6,- GOO mead today, which included nearly 5000 brought in by packers from South St. Paul and Sioux City, for slaughter in plants here. The mar ket opened steady, but the broad de mand that nas featured the trade re- gently asserted itself, and the close was 5 higher, great many hogs sell ing at the top, $6.60, bulk of sales $6.30 to $6.60. A feature was some Minnesota hogs, 150 pounds average, at $6.30, and Minnesota pigs at $5.5o. Heavy supplies of hogs are arriving at the Northern markets particularly, but killers actions during the past week, during which time the market has made small net change, denote that they consider them well worth present prices.
 Sheep and lambs sold steady today, pea fed lambs selling at So, which fig ure. has been the top price each day since last Monday. Receipts were 9,000 head, and the supply contained some good yearlings at $7.50, wethers at $65O, and medium ewes at $5.80. Lambs which have not had good finish sell around $S.50 and feeding lambs, sorted out of immature lots o1 fed Westerns bring up to $S.25. From appearances lamb feeders this season who make their lambs good will se- cure a profit on them
