I'rlees an Board at Trade.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1. A .liberal decrease In
tin. viawie supply ot .whest In the United
stales ainq.-, canaaa for the week con
a.iuuied in a large measure to a sharp ad
vmiiuu in wnsat prices here today. At the
.i.usu pi ices were up.W to 1V4W1HC. Corn
unu outs closed firm,' but provisions weak.
ourpiislnd strength was manltested in
t.,e wuai pit throughout. the entire session.
i. au tile close prices were at the top
uun.li or the day. Despite the bearish tone
it ,,eaiy statistics the market opened firm
a.. id loiiuBued to gain In atrenartn as trad
1.1 wo 'eased. Worlds' shipments for the
w.ek. were .liberal at, L2.288.ow bushels, with
i.uetia contributing mora than 1,000,000
outlin e of- that amount. The amount on
. ,fcatti tncreaaed 6,408,000 bushels, and La
jriatta offertnga of wheat In Liverpool were
trotted cheaper. These bearish influences,
huwevei', were apparently Ignored. A brink
iiumand for cash wheat at all the principal
markets In this country and a decrease of
l-.iM.otjO bushel In the visible supply In the
' Lhirtd States and Canada compared with
a deciease of 60t,onf) bushels for the corres
puiiding week .a year ago, were the prin
cipal iaotors responsible for the buying by
uits and bull lesders that caused the
atro.i upturn. The May delivery dls
, p.aya tbe i greatest strength - and - ranged;
vet ween H.foH and I1.09H. closing at the
iDt pjtnt. July closed at MHc. Clearances
of whtat and flour were equal to 3O4.000
' bushels. The visible supply In the United
States decreased 2.000.000 bushels. Light
' loial receipts and limited offerings in the
'pit created bullish sentiment, in the earn
n arUet. The market closed . firm at the
t6p with prices up S to HtJ-o. Final quo
tst'ons on -Mav were 8iS83c. -
Strength of wheat and corn had a bullish
effect on the -eats market. Cash houses
vere the principal buyers. At the close
prices were up MQH to "c. Msy closing at
fcj''-c. July at '4t4ic.
Despite a 16 .16 advance In the price
of live hogs the provision market developed
ronslderabl weakness, following a firm
opening. Likelihood that the monthly
statement of stocks of provisions In store
here . would show a material Inorease
prompted free .selling by holders. At the
Cl"e prices were a shade to 10c lower.

CATTLE The week started out with u
comparatively small run of cattle, both
here and at other points, with the result
that there waa a general advance In prices
all along the line. The local supply was
hardly large enojgh to encourage compe
tition from all the buyers and some of the
packare were Inclined to hold off and wait
a more favorable opportunity for making
purchaaes. Others apparently needing the
cattle bought the limited offerings fieely
at prices ranging anywhere from strong to
10&16c higher than the close of last week.
There was nothing at all choice or fancy
on sale, but anything at all desirable In
the killing line was disposed of with very
little difficulty at the advance noted and' a
rood clearance was made.
There was probably forty straight loads
or cows and heiters on sale mis morning,
and. with a good demand from all classes
of buyers, the market wajl active and. prices
generally strong 10 10c. nixoei' man uie
close of last week. Medium and common
cows met with a very poor inquiry, how
ever, and did not show any Improvement
aa the outlet was very limited for canning
stutr.
Although the supply of stockers and feed
era was well cleaned up last week the
feeling was rather weak at the clone and
neither yard traders nor country buyers
showed any disposition to pay stronger
prices this morning. Desirable offerlnga of
any welgm sold at Just about stedy tig
ures, while common, light and medium
stuff waa rather hard to move, and. in
aome cases, prices looked hardly as good
as last week. The movement was reason
ably active, although the volume of bust
ness waa comparatively email.

HOGS Receipts or nogs this morning
were only moderate and there was nothing
extra here in point of quality, there being
a considerable showing of inferior, light,
mixed and unfinished stock. Other points
reported light recelpta this morning, rind
this, following the shut off in supplies
toward the close of last week, caused both
local packers and eastern shippers to be
come anxious for the stuff and they lost
no time in getting out after It. Early bids
were around ltxjiloo higher than last Sat
urday and. aa sellers were generally In a
mood to accept that advance, the trade was
reasonably brisk from atart to finish, and
practically everything was disposed of by
the middle of the forenoon. Tops reached
$6.46, the high point ot the season, as
against 'a top of $6.30 on Saturday, and a
bulk today of $6.1(&6.30, aa against a bulk
of $6.00fl'.15 on Saturday. The undertone to
the trade was strong throughout, although
the advance waa due entirely to the light
receipts at all points.
SHEEP Only a moderate run of sheep
waa reported in this morning and the
quality of the offerlnga was about the
aame aa at the close of last week. Toward
the close of last week the trade developed
considerable strength on account of thu
colder weather and light supplies and that
waa about the condition that the market
waa In this morning, all classes of buyers
taking hold freely at unevenly higher
prices. As compared with last Thursday
the market is anywhere from 10c to 25c
higher. Naturally there was considerable
irregularity in prices, but the general trend
was decidedly stronger al) along the line.
There waa not much doing In feeders, al
though aeveral good orders were here for
the right kind of stuff, and prices were
well sustained for decent offerlnga.

PROSPECTUS
The Company owns 3fJ0 acres of rich mineral land abounding in copper, also yielding silver, gold and iron, located in the
midst of the richest known copper district of the world. Themines in this Copper zone, such as United Verde, Copper Queen,
Detroit, Calumet & Arizona, Miami, Ray Consolidated, Old Dominion and Gibson, etc., produce a large per cent of the Cop
per of the world.
i
This property is situated in the Horse Shoe Bend of the Gila River, directly opposite the Important mining town of Kelvin, on the rheonix
and Eastern Railroad, Pinal County, Arizona. The river, which half circles the property, supplies opportunity for ample water power at nominal
cost, also watec for reduction works; and the railroad, which also half circles and crosses the property affords ample transportation facilities, im
mediately at hand.
DEVELOPMENT WORK
A large sum has been expended in developing and proving the value of the mines, the extent, character and availability of the ore bodies and
richness of the. ores.
Reference is made to reports of George C Clark, E. M., and H. C. Erman, E. M., both experienced Engineers and eminent authorities on cop
per properties, from which the data In this pronpectus Is compiled. These reports, with maps, smelter returns, and other data, are on file with
the WINDSOR TRUST COMPANY of New York, open to inspection.
This development work consists of shafts, tunnels, drifts and cross-cuts, the total underground work aggregating 2,574 feet, the larger part
of which is in good ore, exposing and making available approximately 8 00,000 tons of ore that will averaga 7 per cent copper and from $1.50 to
$3.00 per ton In silver. This 2,574 feet of underground work does not, however, Include numerous shafts, prospect holes, and excavations which
have been sunk"Bnd 'made upon tbe property, each of which located bodies of rich ore, proving that the whole 360 acres Is richly understreaked
with rich bodies" of copper ore. There are thirteen distinct veins which have been traced across the property, east and west. - J
: THE VALUE OF ORES
Approximately 400 tons of ore have been mined and shipped to nearby smelters; the original smelter returns are on file at the Windsor Trust
Company, New York, and are open to Inspection.

WHAT IS PROPOSED
RESULTS OF NEW EXPENDITURES
Four shafts have been sunk as follows:
No. 1, 100 it.; No. 2, 185 ft.; No. 3. 80 ft., No. 4 100 ft.; all ot which are in ore which gains in richness as depth is attained. It Is proposed
to continue these shafts to a greater depth, run drifts and cross-cuts so as to mine 600 tons a day; install Improved machinery and facilities for
mining and handling ores; Install au electric water power plant and build reduction works of a capacity of 500 tons per day. The capacity to be
increased from time to time as conditions justify. Seven per cent, copper will yield 140 pounds to the ton, which at 14 cents a pound is $19.60
per ton; allowing 7 cents a pound for the cost of mining and converting to bullion, transportation, etc., gives a net profit of $9.80 per ton, or a
net dally profit of 600 tons, or $4,900 per day; yearly profit of $1,716,000, or, adding the value of the silver, $2,115,000 a year.
