Copper.

g. NJ. d. copper in London today (May
12) rose Ga Sd TO e45 los 3D. spot, SAG
Is Cd futures, the highest prices since
March %; sales $50 and $50 tons re-
spectively. James Lewis X Sons Liver
pool report, May ], is good reading and
shows why there is reason to feel that
bearishness on copper shares wellnigh
has run it's race. 1t says: "The stock OF
good merchantable copper now amounts
to only 20, 755 tons, against AZ ,S73 tons
year ago.
The exit aordinary cons imption of
copper in Europe during the past four
months il apparent from the fact that
notwithstanding an increase Of 1902
tons in the export from the United States
the public stocks in England and France
have decreased S,3S4 tons during this
period. Should European consumption
for the rest OF the year continue on the
same scale, and at present there appears
no reason why it should not, and supplies
from America not increase. IA il probable.
a further reduction Of 16, 76S tons in the
public stocks will follow, bringing them
down 10 about IL 500 tons by the end of
representing only six weeks coDsump-
ton. The probable application of cleo
trical traction 70 the London tramways
il announced. Electricity is also likely
to be largely used "a the motive power
OF the light railways proposed by the gov
eminent, involving the use Of consider
able quantity OF copper. The trunk tele.
phone lines are shortly to be extended by
the telegraph department at cost OF
$500 900, and n telephone line between
London and Berlin is proposed Electric
lighting is largely on the increase"
With these conditions Of "copper"
famine" abroad, and higher price at
home than year ago. with resulting
greater profit to the companies produc-
ing the metal, il may be that Boston is
not to be deprived OF a buoyant market
in copper stocks this season. All that in
needed is little help from general condi-
tions Of business and recognition on
the part OF Boston investment and specu-
lative interests that the "queering" of
our mining share market has gone far
enough and that the time for restored
confidence and upbuildIng is here.-Bos-

A Loaf of Bread o,.r COO ty--. Old.

The Soar family of Ambaston, Derby
shire. England, have IA curious heirloom
i'll the shape Of loaf of bread which is
now over 600 years old The founders
of the family, it appears, were great
friends of King John. When that mon
arch died, he made several land grants
10 the Scars One Of these tracts, it APP
pears, had always been conveyed with
loaf of bread as witness of good
faith. When King John made over the
papers TO the original Soar, he sent the
traditional loaf along with the writ
ings," and the deed and the loaf are
both kept to this day as sacred relics. -

Read Judge Flo. Williams and James Speedy. Several carriages laden with citizens and flowers joined in the procession.
 At the cemetery Judge Williams de- liyerefa a short and appropriate ad- dress, passing in review the services performed by the men whose memory is commemoratcd by the day observed; Company G fired the usual salute, and the graves were all appropriately de- corated.
 At evening, in accordance with his regular custom Colonel Roy enter tained at dinner the resident veterans of the late war. A sumptous repaSt was spread, and was enjoyed heartily by all present. Those at the table

The Santa Rosa mine, in the Arlzpe district Of Sonora, located about ten miles west of Nacosari and twenty miles east of Arizpe, is one of the best managed and most promising properties in Sonora. It is the prop erty of Kirk Brothers X Co.,, gentle men widely known in Arizona, having operated many years at Tombstone, Prescott and other camps. It, is opened by an incline shaft with a pitch Of about forty-hve degrees, and the ore extracted in development has paid the cost of the dead work. They have some 1000 feet of work and have developed a fine body of high grade silver ore. It is all shipped to the shelter, via Nogales.

The Sonora Orange Crop.
HERMosILLo, June 2nd, 1896. To the Editor of THE OASIS.

HERMosILLo, June 2nd, 1896. To the Editor of THE OASIS.
 The orange crop of this season will be medium, but up to date the fruit looks very promising and all were sold before the 25th of May, at very fancy prices-one dollar, U. s. coin, per box on the trees. There was never such a price paid for oranges in Sonora.
 This was on account of competition between buyers from east and west and they raised the prices.
 The first buyer here was from Ari- zona and he formed a partnership with J. J. Bushard of this metropolis they succeeded of retaining about twenty carloads. Then came another gentle man from Florida, an agent for Messrs. Seward & Co.,, a Baltimore commission house, who was repre- sented here last year It seemed to them that they were pretty sure of controlling the whole crop of Sonora and they raised the prices. They bought about fifty carloads at a fancy price. But while all this was breain Messrs. E. Luketich & Co. were wide awake and they will control the crop the same as usual knowing the coun- try and the people they always have preference from the growers.
 The weather is beginning to be very hot and the wheat is very light this year. Prices are advancing daily from $3.5O to s3.75 per carga.

A complication in school matters at Tucson is looming up. Tuesday eyen- ing the present board of trustees, which goes out of office on July lst, elected a full set of teachers for the ensuing year. The new board when qualified will elect another set, and it will take court decision to de- termine which shall serve. Many of those named are in stew. If they don't sign contracts within ten days the present board will elect others tu the places. If they sign the other board will have it in for them and dis miss them if it wins. The school term does not begin until September.
 The Arizona Gazette of Wednesday says: Col. Herring appeared before the board of equalization yesterday and had the assessment of 1895 in ref erence to the N. NJ. & A. railroad cor rected in Pima and Cochise counties. The clerk of the board one year ago failed to send the corrected assess ment to the supervisors of these two counties, consequently the road was forced to pay upwards of $2,0O0 above it's just tax. This the board rectified yesterday, and it is presumed that Pima and Cochise counties will refund the over charge.
