in Bridgeport by special request of
Mayor Wilson, who acting as colonel

In the Casa Grande district, the man with $5,000 can step into a prfitable farm in one year and he can commence with unbroken, uncleared land The fertility of the soil is so great and the climatic growing con- ditions are such that he will take several crop profits off of his land the first year.

PinaI Development Co. Secures Deed

An important mining transaction was consumated on August 1st when Pinal Development company acquired deed and title to the Renfro mines, consist ing of 43 claims situated in Dripping Springs Mining district, about four miles east of the Ray Consolidated Copper company. In addition to the four claims the company already owned this makes total of 47 in the group.
 Recent developments at the prop erty, where an excellent ore showing has been uncovered, led to the. deci- sion to close the transaction whereby Pinal Development becomes the own CT of the group
 As a result of the transaction this week, development work at Pinal will go forward with increased Vigor. In- stallation of a compressor is among the steps now contemplated by the management and while no announce ment has been made it is understood that negotiations are under way to make immediate shipments of ore if suitable arrangements can be made with the smelters. There are several cars of very rich ore now available for immediate shipment.
 The recent repair of the road from Kelvin towards the property of Pinal Development company by Pinal coun- ty, eliminates the steep grades and greatly facilitates shipment.
 Operations at the property continue to go forward rapidly and with most favorable results. The ore in the winZe is now wider than ever and is growing richer with depth. In the raise from the lower tunnel to the contact, the formation has become notably softer the past few days so that work in the direction of the ore horizon is going forward more rapid ly than ever

FINANCES AND MARKETS
IRepu5IIcan A, p. Ieased wIre1

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-(Wall Street. Several unusual factors Contributed to the dull and aimless dealing of the week, foremost among these being op- pfessive heat, which caused the stock exchange authorities to suspend the week end session. Advances were the rule. especially in the war shares and other speculative issues, but improve ment seemed to result mainly from the weakened position of the short in- tereSt.
 General news favored the conserva- tive side for the most part, but events abroad, especially the latest Russian crisis and the reported tension in the British and French ministries, excited fresh concern.
 There was much earnest discussion regarding the increasing gold outflow to foreign points, chiefly Japan, all though this was counter balanced in part by resumption in moderate vol tune of imports of the metal from Can- ada, the first return movement in a month. Exchange rates on most of the neutral countries remained adverse to this center until the latter part of the week, when a sharp readjustment occurred.
 Banking interest reported greater caution in various lines of trade, but production continued at high pressure, few leading manufacturers showing more than slight curtailment. The sec ond quarterly statement of the United States Steel corporation and the two per cent dividend declared by the United States alcohol company were the outstanding features of the indus trial situation.
 The underlying strength of the in vestment market was indicated by the speedy absorption of the new Cana dian government loan of $100, 100000 two year five per cent notes. Stand ard railway bonds and old internation- al issues yielded irregularly, however, 10 moderate pressure.
