WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS, MARCH III, 1910.
The volume of trading in last season s
tobacco crop is, of course, all the time
declining, but buyers are still in the
field quietly picking up the remnants
which are now becoming quite widely
scattered. Some of the growers who
heretofore have refused stemming
goods prices, are able to secure better
figures for anything that promises to
yield fair percentage of binder stock,
but still low grade prices prevail to a
large extent. Growers are getting
we'll along with their deliveries, possi-
bly, three. quarters of the crop has al
ready left the farms.
Warehouse handling is progressing,
but generally with smaller forces than
usual. The Eiseulohr Co. closed their
operations in this market last week.
The demand for old leaf is generally
of a small order character, the only
sales of Importance coming to notice is
4O0cs lot of '13 sold by Simonson &
Co., Deerfeld packers. From New
York comes the information that w.
S. Brill has disposed of 800cs of IA
Wisconsin.
The railway embargo placed on east
ern shipments is interfering with the
forwarding out of storage, which
reaches about 70Qcs and 5 car loads of
bundles since last report.

LANCASTER, Pa, March l, 1916.
Several times lately prominent local
tobacco men have made what they were
sure were pretty nearly correct
estimates of the amount of 1909 tobac-
co still remaining in the hands of local
packers. Nobody estimates the pres
ent holdings of local men below 10, 900
cases. And within the past few days
a very prominent packer declared that
ne would have no difficulty in making
out list of local packers who hold
20, 900 cases of the 1909. At the pres
ent time these goods should sell at not
less than 22 cents to enable the orig
inal packers to break even. These
goods have begun moving again, re-
Gently, and it is a source of gratifca-
tion TO be able to write that prices have
stiffened. Many thousands of cases
have sold at seven cents and less, but
the asking price now is 10, II and even
IL cents, with offers, generally reject
ed, of to 81 cents.

New YORK, March a, 1916.


Activity in the leaf market has abat-
ed considerably both on account of the
severe weather conditions during the
past month which almost paralyzed
commerce and transportation through
out large section of the country and
the lack of suitable leaf supply. Stocks
in nearly all types are exhausted and
there can be no business revival until
the new crops become marketable. But
the near prospects of the leaf market
are of the brightest, particularly in re-
gard to tremendous trading in wrap
per leaf. The shortage in Sumatra
stocks, as commented on III our editor
ial columns, is bound to lead to a rapid
consumption of the new importations.
The shortage by half of our general
need of Sumatra will have to be made
up from the new importations. The
new Sumatra crop is reported to be
abundant and of more than average
quality and as the European war has
discounted the sharp competition Of the
German and regie buyers, Americans
will have clear field to acquire the
cream of the crop. Besides, prices are
expected to be more reasonable than
when the strong, but now absent, Eu-
ropean competition drove them up.
Whatever the European need this year
for Sumatrs, it will confine itself to
the lower and cheaper grades, as the
heavy war duties placed on tobacco by
both Germany and England will natur-
ally compel the European buyers TO
confine themselves to the cheaper
grades. On the other hand, the short
age of Sumatra cannot fail to boom up
cur own domestic wrapper leaf, the
shadegrown part of which has of late
grown into even greater favor with a
large number of our cigar factories.
The prospective keen wrapper rivalry
is evidently scented in anticipation by
our leaf market inasmuch as sudden
movement has set in also for the ac-
QUESTION of the Connecticut broadleaf,
which, besides the shadegrown and the
Sumatra, is the only accountable wrap
per leaf. So the present slack period
is likely to be succeeded, in the near
future, by whirlwind of activity in
those types on which the largest profits
are expected to be realized. ournal.
NEW YORK, March l, 1916.
The past week has been one of those
when, to use the words of prominent
leaf tobacco packer, there's little of
everything selling, but not much of
anything" In other words there has
been good inquiry about all standard
types of domestic leaf, but transactions
have been rather small and of routine
nature. The call for Wisconsin has
been rather more prominent than any
other tobacco, but some old Pennsyl-
vania has also changed hands.
Some complaints have been heard
with respect to the packing of the new
Connecticut Shadegrown. The imper-
fections inherent in a crop grown in
such adverse weather conditions have
begun to manifest themselves. Among
other things, there is a good deal of to-
bacco that is defective in color, and it
is said that not enough care has been
used in great many instances in pack
ing. AS much as manufacturers need
Shadegrown wrappers, there have been
some reflections because of faulty pack
ing. Leaf.

(From Thursdays Daily.)

Phil Kearney, for many years a resident of Crown King, and interest cd in Bradshaw mines, is in the city, and gives reports that would indicate the beginning of better era than had ever been known. He said: "The solution of mining in that field is due to the success of ore treatment per fected by the Randolph Gemmill peo- ole. that has resulted in capital seek ing investment, and many old prop critics resuming.
 These works were started up again on Tuesday, and the big outflow of concentrates is again going on. The complex ore problem ot the Brad .haws from a treatment standpoint has faded away through Introducing this plant, and now begins new pace 10 build up its mineral resources.

ANOTHER COPPER.
 PREPARING TO RESUME
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Arrivals from Mayer state that the May Mining Company will soon be revived. after an idleness of over sev- en years. At a meeting held in Syd- Bey, Ohio, recently. where majority of the board of directors reside, it was decided to introduce electrical power and install a modern equipment for development.
 The past history of the May is CO., incident with that of early operations on the Blue Bell, the latter adjoining on the south. Both were classed as possibilities as development was be ing given to depth. but with the u1- settled financial condition in 1907, to- gether with copper at low price, the May suspended, while the Blue Bell continued active with small force only. The latter now attaining de served prominence as a copper pro ducer, with the essential fact proven of its ores at the 500 level being lars- CT and of better grade than at any time in its past history in sufficiently appreciated by the May people as to warrant resumption immediately. Both properties carry identical geological conditions from the surface to the depth reached on the May, and on the theory that the May will develop a5 the Blue Bell has done. probably ac- counts for this old property again becoming active. A mining man yes terday, who is interested in that field. said: "The Blue Bell is going to carry along the May. The same situ- ation exists today in Copper Basin wherein the Commercial prompted investors to enter and develop an other copper bona1za in the Loma Prieta, while at Jerome, the Little Daisy is an offspring of the United Verde, all of the new strikes being closely allied with the big ones; it is the same old story from mining re- hearsal, let one hit it and there will be others just as good as the orig inal"

FAMOUS LINCOLN
 GOLD MINES REVIVED
(From Thursdays Daily.l

The famous Lincoln gold mines of the Bradshaws are to begin caree- immediately under bonding transac- ton closed recently. that is fortunate ly attended with ample funds available to prosecute line of large develop me1t and on basis of permanency.
 The regeneration of this property begins under the direction of D. H. Bradley, IT,, recently of Par-all, Mex ico, and with whom is associated capitalists of Philadelphia. Mir. Brad ley is now in this city, and his first move was made during the week to revive the Lincoln when he sent out a force of twenty miners. In speak ing of future plans of development he stated that the operating plan calls for sinking a new main shaft in the big shoot at a central point between old workings, that will go to depth of 300 feet. An air compressor, cleo tric hoist and air drills will be on the ground inside of two weeks. While the machinery is en route, the repair ing of the old wagon road to Crown King flas started, to get this adjunct in shape for taking in material and supplies at once. A twoton Jeffrey auto truck may be put on the road next week. This vehicle will also be used in taking in machinery and sup plies and handling the output after production begins.
 Another matter decided upon is to increase surface accommodations O. employees, by erecting at once five new buildings. All of the machinery and mine material are being pur- chased in this city from the Arizona Mine Supply Co.,, as well will supplies for the camp be obtained in this mar ket. Behind this big Investment for the Lincoln are two factors that are of essential consideration and well proven. Neurological conditions are decidedly attractive for determining a heavy as well as permanent gold pro- ducer Of important consideration also. is the past production of the Lincoln. given under primitive sys tenn of operating, that reached to over S400,O00 in gold. The old company records also show that the last eleven shipments of ore averaged sS5 per ton in gold, gross weight. A l5-stamp mill is on the ground, recently rebuilt, and under these favorable conditions the property is ready to begin new life under the direction of men who are fully conversant with mining from 2 practical operating standpoint.

SAYS RAILROADS
 CANNOT BRING IN BOOZE
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

PHOENIX, Feb. 15.-In view of the probability that some citizens will read more out of the Supreme courts decision in the personal use care than the court put into it Attorney General Jones mas advised county attorneys of the fact that the opinion does not deal with the right of common car riers to bring liquor into the State. That is a matter that will have to be considered in the future. The decision only sustai1s the right of one to bring the liquor in himself for the appellant in the case had committed only that act
 Said the attorney general: "The court simply held that traveller or party bringing into Arizona a suit case containing intoxicating liquor for his own personal use was not e1, gazing in a violation of the law. All must concede that the opinion is that of three conscientious and worthy judges. The case related to the intro 1uction of liquor in the suit case of a passenger; it was not a shipment by l common carrier.
 The court did not hold that any common carrier, Wells, Fargo & Co.,, he Southern Pacific or the Santa Fe can transport into the State orders for personal use" that they may receive, regardless of our laws. Nor did the court hold that common carriers can transport and deliver to other per sons single order or shipment and .hus establish the oldtime traffic. l must not talk further but 1 will ad- wise all county attorneys of the i'm port of the decision of the Supreme court at an early date'
 So great interest has been taken in he decision throughout the State that practically all the daily papers have spread a head across the story of it, Ill the way across the front page and several requests have come, mainly from county officials for certified copies of the opinion.

COOPERATION IS
 ASKED FOR SCHOOLS
(From Thursdayie Daiiy.)

(from lhrTSdayie Daily.)
 An important matter. the proposal of Professor F. w. Hart that the Chamber of Commerce cooperate with the Prescott public schools, will be brought before the meeting of the body tonight. He asks that com mittee be appointed to be known as the committee on public schools, and in his letter to the chamber gives as reasons for the proposal, the follow ing:
 l. Because the biggest business of the nation and therefore of the State, county and community is that of cdu cation. and since the Chamber Of Commerce is essentially an organiza- ton whose efforts are directed toward the public good, there is legitimate field in which the proposed committee can work with profit both to the schools and to the county.
 ?. Because the schools need the cooperation Of the business men, and the business men need the support of the schools. This mutual benefit can be more readily secured through a live and properly constituted com mittce, than in any other way.
 }. The average business man is toe busy to give much time, or serious consideration, to the conditions of our schools, or to the problems of school administration. It is therefore fitting and advisable that a committee be created whose duty shall be to co operate with the school authorities in making the schools represent tn, spirit of the community and through the Chamber of Commerce to make the spirit of the community one which will demand and support the best there is to be had in modern public schools.

MINING HISTORY
 IS REPEATING ITSELF
(From Thursdays Daily.)

As the outcome of an examination made last week of the old Fl Dorado and Security groups of silver mines, in Tiptop district, deal was closed in this city Tuesday afternoon by N. H. Getchell and associates, the sellers being Frank E. and Edward Wager.
 Quite a large first cash payment was made, and operations have start ed, Getchell establishing a camp ana placing at work a small force in get ting underground workings in shape. The Fl Dorado was owned by the Wager brothers when silver was soar ing at Sl2o an ounce, but when the crash occurred. it suspended. The old mine timbers have decayed, but suffi- cient ground is open from which de- nominations made lead to the sale being consummated. This property parallels the Security and both are situated within one-half mile of the old Tiptop, now active and producing.
 Mir. Wager stated yesterday that Tiptop district is passing through a complete regeneration, through its tungsten possibilities, as well is taken into consideration by investors the reopening of old mines that produced heavily in high grade silver ores in the long ago.
