GREEN MONSTER COMES TO LIFE AND STARTS CRAWLING UPWARD IN THE NEW YORK CURB MARKET YESTERDAY.
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

 Whether its touch of new life is due
 to galvanic action or to natural causes, is not known, for no news came out of Jerome to explain why
 the reptile stock began to crawl yes- terday in the New York market.
 This issue which last November had high of S6zS, has been on the toboggan ever since the half-million pool was dissolved. It's downward momentum increased when its option on the Copper Chief was not cXcr- cised, and following the big break in all stocks in December as an after math of the peace leak Green Mon ster skidded so fast that the cmer- gcncy brake became useless. As a result the stock has been flirting around the Sl i6 mark for many weary weeks, and 1t was at that figure that the market opened yesterday morn ing. But the Monster soon emerged from its comatosc, though not mori bund condition. It soon touched SlH, and when the ticker next recorded sale at Sli;S, the chair-warmcrs in K. Allyn Lewis office began to sit up and take notice. Before the session closed, the Monster vaulted to SlM, and the curb-gazers began to pinch themselves to be sure that they were not in trance, and had been having visions.
 What stimulated Green Monster Is purely matter of surmise, although perhaps the following report, issued recently by Superintendent Finlay- son. may have had something to do with it:
 The George crosscut has advanced II feet to a point 250 feet from the beginning. The material is hard dioritc carrying disseminated iron pyrite and a little chalcopyritc. The west drift from the George crosscut was advanced three feet by one man working occasionally. The Rattle snake No. 5B drift was stopped on the 9th of February and will not be driven further at present. The total length Is l33 feet. The Rattlesnake No } drift winze has advanced l6 feet to a a total depth of g feet. The entire winzc is in diorite quartz car rying a small quantity of iron pyritcs and chalcopyritcs. The Rattlcsnakc No. ; crosScut from the No. 3B drift was advanced 20 feet to total Of 5l feet. This croSscutted in vein matter and is being driven west to cut the footwall of the vein. The last Is feet was in jasper quartz showing some The Rattlcsnakc No. } raise was advanced 25 feet to a total of 126 feet. It should have con nectcd with the surface, but due to an error in the survey it was coming up under the road. It was stopped and we are now tunneling to break down below the road The development work in the Rattlcsnakc winZe shows q very large body of jasper quartz, which at the bottom of the winZc should be about 40 feet thick to the real footwall of the vein. After the winzc is down 75 feet l think 1t ad- visablc to crosscut east where the vein should show heavy mineraliza- tiofis. The No. Amazon tunnel has advanced 2l feet in shearcd diorlte to d total of l57 feet. At present the entire face is full of specular hema- tite stringers varying in thickness up to one inch. The Amazon No. ? tun- mel which IS being driven to tap the drift at the shaft level was advanced % feet to a total of l27 feet. This tunnel should cut the vein during the coming week The Amazon No. } tunnel was driven Is feet to cut the side of the shcarcd zone, in order to determine the character of the material at that point. This work should be finished next week. The Amazon work IS proving the cX- istcncc of a very long and wide shear zone heavily oNidizcd. think it will be well mincralizcd at greater depth. The No. l tunnel, when driven to its most northcrly point, will tap the sul- phidc body in the crosscut from the shaft al a depth of about l75 feet. The transformers are being rapidly in stalled and the compressor and air line will soon be connected and ready for operation Everything IS running smoothly and we expect soon to have the machines in operation"
