Speculation in copper stocks on the Boston market continues active, al- though prices have weakened some what. The capital of the copper com psnies. whose shares form the basis of speculation, is in the aggregate less than SlS,000, 900, (not including tue Calumet < Hecla)' according to the Boston Herald, yet the present market value judging by stock quotations IS not far from sl75, GOO, GOO, the gains in the last twelve months amounting to $50, ,OO0, GOO or $40, ,O00.00 The Her. sld is pessimistic and thinks specula- tors are skating on exceedingly thin ice, but in view of the fact that copper is selling at 13 cents-higher than it has been since 1S9l-and- with the prospect of further advance to b cents, we see no reason for discourage ment. The rise in copper shares IS for the most part legitimate, in view of the growing consumption and widening field for the metal. Arizona has been benefited greatly by the rise in the price of copper, and the stimulation given to the industry in this territory will, within year, advance Arizona to the position of the rival of Michigan as a copper producer.

The annual movement of sheep from the northern counties to southwestern Maricopa county is about to begin. The hegira will number about 2U0, ,00C head and the trail will lead through Tonto basin, Gila coudty. They will be returned north in the spring, and will leave not spear of grass on the route travelled. Last spring the inva- sion of sheep left the range in Tonto basin destitute of grass, and resulted in a serious loss to csttlemen of north. ern Gila county. Nevertheless To taxes were collected in this county from marauding sheep men, who held their focks for weeks on our ranges without paying tribute. Our assessor next spring should see to it that this injustice is not again perpetrated.
