PITTSBURGH. Oct 16.-During
the greater part of last week the
Pittsburgh stock market ignored the
weakness prevailing in Wall Street.
and on nearly every day new high
prices were registered for local spec
1alties. Oil and gas stocks were the
favorites, and in numerous instances
the best prices OF tho year were made.
The upward movement was assisted
by the advance in tho eastern grades
OF crude petroleum, and by the move
ment for raising the price OF natural
gas.
At Saturdays session Of tho local
hoard the market was heavy. The
largest declines were In La Belle Iron,
Columbia Gas and Westinghouse Air
Brake. The only active issue was
Pittsburg OIL and Gas. which advanc-
ed to 1914, the highest OF the year.
Saturdays sales were as follows:

ANDERSON RESIGNS
 AS HEALTH OFFICER

E. c. Anderson has rendered resig- nation as health officer for Oatman. His mining interests will claim all his time hereafter and he cannot at tend to both. The name of his suc- cessor has not yet been learned.
 There is a great deal of labor to the office. It means keeping a watch over the camp for unsanitary condi- tions at all times and to arrest per sons who criminally tamper with the state sanitary laws and county or dinances on the subject. During his term of office Mir. Anderson has been one of the busiest men in Oatman. One of the matters to occupy not a little of his time of late has been the rapid death of burros from drinking cyanide water, and the burial of the carcasses.

S. L. Finley, head of the Finley Mercantile Company, stole a march on his many friends by getting mar ried at o'clock Saturday evening and slipping away to California on a ten days honeymoon before even the employees of his store knew that their boss had taken onto himself bride.
 Mir. Finley claimed for bride, Mrs. Mary E. Johnston who came here from Texas some time ago to reside with her sister, Mrs. Lee.
 Rev. Thomas Hambly of the Feder- ated church performed the ceremony which occurred at the parsonage. The couple left at o'clock Saturday even ing on their honeymoon.
 No one is better known in Flag staff than Mir. Finley and his hundreds of friends will extend congratulations and wish the couple every happiness. Northern Arizona Leader.

FLIRTING WITH LABOR

~ E LATE Charles Evans Hughes who obtained the | Republican presidential nomination through the
 support of the X)-subjects of the Kaiser n the United States has been devotng large portion of his campaign speeches to throwing bouquets at himself on his labor record while the tool of the Republican bosses of New York in his occupancy of the guhenaoral chair of the Empire state Nominee Hughes has not word say about his action in the Danbuy Hatter case and the i'm pOTtant part he played in declaring unconstitutional the Arizona antaien law. Of course, these two decisions were rendered while Mr. Hughes was member of the S pree court of the United States and he apparently con- sders that he should entirely overlook them when telling union working men what great friend CD they have In him.
 President Wilson is now confronted with an immense problem Tn his efforts to avert nationwide strike of rail road workers and in all his dealings in connection there with has demonstrated that he friend of the man who tOs Since Mr. Hughes has found fault with every action President Wilson has taken in the past it might be well for the Republican nominee to state at this time what po SOn he would take he the present occupant of the presidential chair He thus far has not had word to say on the critical situation and 1t is safe bet that he will not As judged by the company he keeps and as
 Mr. Hughes keeps company with the mOneyed interests the uncrOwned rulers of the American peOpe-it is not difficult to determine where he would stand in such great crisis similar to that with which President Wilson has to deal wh IF he elected to the office to which he aspires.
 Nominee Hughes and the money kings of the Repubi- can party greatly mistaken they think the great of the American people will permit to be fosted upon them their president indOrSed by diSlOya nat urazed citizens and who has shown beyond the question of doubt that he is the enemy of the workers fact that has been atested by other than President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor in state ment recently made public Hughes-nor any other can serve the SPECIAL INTERESTS and the COMMON PEOPLE, for the basic reason that the two have nothing in President Wilson has times without number demonstrated that he is a TRUE FRIEND of the COM MON PEOPLE and an enemy of the SPECIAL INTER. ESTS. That iswhy the SPECIAL INTERESTS are doing their utmost to defeat him for reelection As long workers organized and unorganzed- swallow the argu ments put forth by Hughes and other representatives of the SPECIAL INTERESTS, just so long will the SPE- GAL INTERESTS have the COMMON PEOPLE under their thumb To be convinced of the truths expressed herein workers should without prejudice investigate the records of President Wilson and Nominee Hughes

assaying and MT. Warner is likewise very familiar with the texture of the quartz. They state that a crushing to 40 mesh should be ample for ex- traction of all the values. In that it differs greatly from other Oatman quartz which requires crushing to 100 mesh.
 The vein matter is a sugar quartz, evidently eroded down to the replace ment. Otherwise, it has most of the Oatman characteristics, with fiuorine, typical forms of manganese, thermal marks and much oxidation near the surface.
 Mir. Warner came to this district in 1902, some time after the discovery of the Gold Road mine. He prospected mostly but has worked at times in the Gold Road. He is an exceedingly skilled prospector and pocket hunter Mir. Altinger says he is the most skill led prospector he ever saw. He is like lightning in following "trace" and has such reputation in the camps of the west. He has been invited to go to the Mother Lode of California; to operate and to enter into contests that some of the skilled pocket hun ters of that famed region. He has made many big strikes and in one summer in Idaho uncovered no less than six real bonanzas.
 The Warner group is in the process of organization. It will be called the Warner-Oatman Gold Mining com pany, with MT. Warner as president and general manager, Mir. Anderson as vice president and Mir. Altinger as secretary and treasurer.

PLANT INSTALLED
 AT NELLIE MINE

The new 40-horsepower hoisting en- zine for the Nellie property has been installed and a new pump is being put in position. It will be but a day or two until work will have been star ted cutting a station at S60 foot point in the shaft, which is the present depth. Further work will be done in the form of sinking and perhaps crosscutting.
 The property had three shifts at work when water drove them out and as soon as working arrangements can be perfected the same sized force will again be employed.

EMPIRES RICH SEAM
 DIPS OUT OF SHAFT

The rich streak in the Oatman-Em- pire has dipped out of the shaft, which is down between 40 and 45 feet. The rich values were still there when it disappeared, and it is believed by Frank Strong and G. L. Meikle, who are identified with the company, that it is the apex of bonanza ore body. They will work on that theory and continue sinking to deeper point and then crosscnut for the supposed shoot.
 Assays from the seam went over $500, and pannings were of immense value in visible gold.
