PUMPS WORK OUT
 0N WHITMAN TRACT

The Wyman Land and Development company. working near Maricopa, have proved to the satisfaction of those who have observed it's operation that pumping of water for irrigation under such conditions as prevail there is a success. The pump is a Warrington centrifugal of IA or 16 inch diameter. The water is drawn from three wells. Che of them is below the pit where the pump is placed and the other two are connected with it by tunnels.
 Water is found at a depth of about forty feet but the wells are sunk to depth of 300 feet. Drag pipes extend from the water level to a depth of thirty-five feet. J. c. Dobbins, who returned yesterday from Maricopa, said that the pump, after running a few hours, had thrown a stream of water across the Southern Pacific and Arizona Eastern tracks. It is esti- mated that the pump is sufficient to water tract of 2,000 acres and that the water can be delivered for 75 cents an acre foot.
 MT. Dobbins is not now connected with this enterprise but he was one of the originators of it. Some five or six years ago the land was sold to a Scotch syndicate which later sold 1t to the Whyman company. One of the Scotch company who spent some time at Maricopa was known as Charles Henry Magill Critchon. It has slnee been learned that he was Lord Critchton, who was killed not long ago on the western battle front.

SMALL MAKES GOOD
 REPORT ON THE QLD
 UNION GOLD MINES

Word has just been received in Phoe- nix that a report has been made on the property of the North Maricopa Coun- ty Company by Frederick E. Small, E. M. who was for many years the private expert of Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil interests. MT. Small was the first of twenty-four engineers to report favorably on the Ajo dis trict. Upon his reports large interests have invested more than twenty mil lions of dollars in mines. MT. Small examined the property a short time ago and recommended it before the beginning of the new work as worth $250,000.
 The closing paragraphs of the re- port are as follows: From very careful examination Of this property, came to the following conclusions: viz, that the opening up of this prop erty by development, it will become one of great magnitude. The outcrops re abnormal in their value The min eral zone in which this property is located is the structural mineral belt of optcrops and deposits traversing central Arizona and which extends many miles unbroken to the north of Jerome and many miles south of the Union mine.
 DuIIHS Hly Ildtly years eApelleIlCo as a mining engineer in the great camps of this country, have not seen a gold property of more promise than this. Many of the large producing mines of today in Arizona, had no superficial indications that could in their early development compare with the merits of this property. The pro ductive mines north and south of this property are connected and similar in geologic origin. It offers itself as a safe and profitable investment at $250, ,000."
 It is not known here just what in- terests MT. Small represents but it is known that he is cooperating with his report and his information in an effort to bring together Vice President Fisher and certain financial interests at Kan sas City on terms which will influence the development of the entire Winni- fl ed district

MONTE CRISTO GETS
 BIG COPPER SHOWING

The famous Monte Christo mine of Constellation, which for many years has enjoyed prominence as a silver bonanza, is rapidly passing into a new sphere, that of an immense cop per property, it was stated yesterday by miners who are in the city from that field.
 The depth reached to date. is 96O feet, where the mineralogical change from the white to the red metal is oc- curing, and which is reported shows no indications whatever Of ore bodies decreasing. The tapping of an immense subterranean flow of water indicated the change that is taking place. It Is also stated that the grade of copper product is exceptionally high, and with which Is associated gold values. The unwatering of the levels above the 300 is now under headway. The freak condition shows distinctively cop per zone as determined on the 900-f foot level, and below that point every indi- cation of strong copper condition as definitely established.
 The field in which is located the Monte Christo is recognized mainly for it's coppergold bearing ores. and Tor this reason the above holding has accustomed nationwide interest for the lmmensfty of its silver deposits and the extraordinary values of it's ores. under geological conditions that were pronounced by scientific men as with out counterpart in mining annals.
 The Monte Christo for over ten years has pursued system of develop ment only, and to date has produced not pound of ore for reduction. Its present status gives it additional fame

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

The strength of Inspiration Copper is accompanied by private reports to the effect that directors of the com- pany added to their holdings below the 50 level during the recent weeks. Particular attention is being directed in responsible quarters to the fact that this concern is so securely placed that it is a manufacturing proposition rather than a mining affair." so that the average earning power, with a management of exceptionally high grade, is likely to be as much higher than other copper metal producers. This company is held by some au- thorities as ranking next to the leader in the porphyry group-Utah Copper
 Reliable authority informs us that if they have no setbacks Inspiration Con- solidated expects to make 12O00, coo pounds of copper in August as against 11,500,0 900 in July.

With the completion of the present contract Anderson will begin on second. The Fairview is on the same belt as the Nelson and adjoins it on the north.

The property has been under negotiation of sale at different times, but the offers of prospective buyers have been repeatedly rejected.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-(Wall Street. t.)-lmportant stocks were under moderate pressure at the opening of today's brief session, overnight devel- opments in the railway labor situation providing the professional short inter- ests with an excuse for renewing it's attacks against the more speculative issues. Rails, like Reading, Union Pa cific and Norfolk & Western, receded point, with reversals of as much or more in coppers, Crucible Steel and ob- Scure industrials
 United States Steel also fell back al- most point and Bethlehem Steel was 16 points lower at one time, l3 points in the final dealings. That period witnessed a general recovery in all quarters of the list, many shares clos ing at actual net gains of urgent coy ering of bear contracts.
 Trading was exceedingly contracted, United States Steel Reading and a few old time favorites making up fully 50 per cent of the total turnover of 252,00O shares.
 General news, while mainly favora- ble, exerted little influence market wise. Trade reports referred to con- tinued activity in various lines of in dustry at higher prices.
 CledrlnS mousse institutions showed only slight expansion in actual loans and discounts and a nominal cash in- crease, but demand deposits increased by over S45.000,000, with a moderate decrease in excess reserves

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The railroad labor situation, which assumed more disturbing aspect with the progress of the conferences at Washington was a drawback or adverse factor in this weeks active market. Dealings were on larger, if not broader scale than at any time in the past three months and the average of advances placed leading shares at highest levels for that period.
 United States Steel was the conspic- uous feature, it's enormous turnover as it mounted to the new record of 99%s infusing vitality to the general list and particularly to allied shares Steel yielded only 2A points of its gross gain of SIS, despite the extensive profit taking that accompanied it's rise. Other stocks of the same class were more responsive to pressure.
 Coppers regained much of their for mer prominence, active issues of that group rising l to 2 points. with more for Inspiration on its new maximum of 56A. Conditions in the metal indus try are unusually promising. refined copper being quoted at 2S cents for de- livery in the last two months of this year.
 Munitions and equipments were ir- regular. but mainly higher. with con- siderable activity in Bethlehem Steel. which made an extreme gain of 22k points on the week.
 Bankers and financial institutions reported a moderate increase of in- vestment demand. in anticipation. pre-
 umably, of September interest and div idend disbursements. which are esti- mated at almost s143,000,000, an in- crease of about $23,000,000 over the same period last year
