Three important mining deals in three districts near this city were closed a few days ago, says the Pres Lemons, of London, England, figured as a principal, the properties affected being the Cottonwood group of Groom creek, owned by William Linden, the Buster holdings of J. c. Swazey in the Bradshaws. and the Great Belcher of George Domaine, situated on Big Bug creek.

In the Great Belcher deal are in cluded the Mammoth and the Eu- genia groups. All properties ac- quired have had extensive develop ment performed, and the ore content of all combined form desirable smelting project.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 23.-Wheat dropped today to the lowest prices yet this sea son, going for the first time under $1 8 bushel. Enlarged crop estimates and the lack of export demand appeared to be chiefly responsible. The market closed heavy, 29s to 3@B net lower, with July at 99A G0% and September at $1025s m%. Other leading staples, too, all underwent a setback-corn 19sM& to 21s, oats 5s to 1 + @as, and provisions 12ls to 40.
 Bears had nearly complete control of the wheat market throughout the ses- sion. The most acute weakness, how ever, was shown in the last half of the day. This period was subsequent to the issuance of comprehensive crop report by a leading expert who re- ported that notable improvement had taken place of late in conditions in the winter wheat states.
 Coarse grain weakened with wheat Warmer temperatures in the corn belt brought about larger offerings from the country In the oats market, rust tracted attention.
 Lower prices on hogs left provisions without support.

Mesa News Notes
INDIAN COMMITTEE REPORTS

The committee appointed to visit secure their attendance at the pre- paredness celebration, have returned and made their report They state that they found the Indian agents and the Indians themselves fully interested
 in the plan and there will be at least
 one thousand members of the various
 tribes here on the third They are coming prepared to take part in the
 sports as outlined in yesterdays is
 sue for Monday July 3, which will be Indian day. Inasmuch as the tribal
 gaines. races and other contests arc
 always q source of interest to the
 whites, it is expected that Mesa will
 be crowded to the fullest on that day.
 One correction is requested. viz. there
 will he no Indian dances. This is at the request of the agents and the Indian school authorities, but other wise the program will stand as given, with the addition of flag pulling. which is a favorite horseback contest, small flags being planted short dis ! tance apart, and the rider going at full speed. catching them up as he passes. It is probable that there will i be fifty cadets from the Indian school in line in the parade in addition to
 the band from the same institution.

 sion to buy construct. lease, sell convey, maintain, improve, manage and superintend furnaces. etc.

 RANGE ID CH|CAC0ANS

One of the most important deals pulled off in the stock line in the Oatman field was consumated recent ly by the taxing over of the last block of treasury stock of the Black Range by F.. McNeal x Co.,, of Chicago, rep resenting capitalists of that city. The sum involved was $100,000 The in- terested parties have refused to state just how many shares entered into the deal. but admitted that they constitut- ed control. The deal was concluded by Mitchell Carter, manager of the Oatr1an Investment company. and George Hurley, junior member of the firm of E. McNeal & Co.
 During the past week Mr Hurley and C. s. Arkins. well known min ing engineer of Chicago, have been making Q thorough examination oN the Black Range On the 2S4 level they found good bodies of ore the average in gold being far above that claimed by the company The latest assay of the breast of the drift gave $29. Picked samples gave values run ming high in the hundreds
 pUueI ife new management the company will re-equip the property with larger and more up-to- date ma = chinery and sink a shaft to q depth of 600 feet. three compartments size | This shaft is to enter the vein on its l dip at a depth of between 800 and 600 l level Stations will be cut at the 300 ] 400. 800 and 60O-foot points.
 The McNeal company had contract cd to finance the Oatman Gold Min ing and Milling company. but some difference of opinion arose and tn, company looked around for new in vestments for it's clients They found

NEW YORK, June 23.-Dun's Re- view will say:
 With the economic structure through the organization of banking resources, credits and industry, resting on more solid foundation than ever before, con- fidence is unimpaired by the interna- tional contingencies.
 Constructive developments still pre- dominate in the business world, and remarkable activity prevails at a period which ordinarily is one of the quietest of the year. No machinery is idle in any important industry through lack of contracts but in some full pro duction is not possible because of strikes and labor shortage.

STEEL USERS TOLOOK
 FUR MORE TUNGSTEN

EROME-That there will he little demand for tungsten at boom prices such as have been prevalent during the past year, is the report brought here by F.. J. O'Leary, representing the Midvale Steel and Ordnance com pany. the Cambria Steel company and the Worth Bros. Steel company At present there is but little demand for tungsten by his companies, says Mir. OLeary.
 Steel users, according to the manu lecturers agent, must look ahead and foresee their requirements, as de- liveries can be made any time from two weeks to five months. The inn mense amount of armor plate being put out by the larger steel companies has congested their mills to such an extent that deliveries cannot be as sured.
