SOME INTERESTING FACTS
 ABOUT ALASKA TREHDWELl

The interest of great many men centers in the operation of the corpora tion, because the property is an ideal low-grade gold quartz mine, which serves as a guide for the management of other properties of kindred char acter located elsewhere. So far no gold quartz mine on the Pacific coast has been able to produce gold from the matrix at as low cost as the Alaska TTeadwell- governor Brady, of Alaska recently said that they had discovered a process of reduction which would cut down the cost of production to 66 cents per ton. If it's managers have done so, the report of the last fiscal year does not show that it had, up to its close, been put in operation How ever, the report does show that the gold won from this Douglas Island mine is obtained at a little more than one-half the cost of the most econo- mically operated and best equipped mines on the mother lode in California For the last year the total cost-every- thing being counted in the expense ac- count which involved an outlay either or the premises or in any of the com pany's offices, and new construction was only $1.5437 per ton. The mer- chandice profits obtained at the com pany store amounted to $0.0509 per ton Of ore crushed, which cut down the total cost to S12SS The bullion sold during Ane year amounted to S2. 1904 : TOO: merchandise profits. S34.799 mak- ing the gross earnings. $1.339.5I6. The total expense aggregated SS23.0S7, to which s52,942 worth of new construc- tion was added, making the grand total SS16.02y. The net earnings reached the handsome sum of S463 .490, over one-third the gross product The total amount of ore crushed during the year was 682,S93 tons, 540 stamps being operated-the 300-stamp mill 2I4 days 6 hours and minutes, and the 240- stamp mill 338 days 23 hours and B minutes. On May 18th last the ore in sight and available for mill aggregated 3234 ,260 tons, or enough to keep the $40 stamps running at last years rate for nearly five years without develop 5ng an other pound of new ore body

PREDICTED IMPROVEMENT
 IN MARKET IS COMING


 Conditions are shaping apparently toward improvement in the copper market. Just at the moment there is Hull in business which usually accom- panies the end of the year period, but when stock taking days have been passed by the manufacturers a large increase in orders from first hand con sumeTs is looked for a
 Aierady orders have been paced with producers at better than nominal market quotations. and We hear of sales Of Lake on a basis of 1ls cents per pound Copper experts expect to see the market price advance well above F cents basis for Lake early in the new year. They base their belief on the favorable statistical situation of the metal. claiming that the mar ket is barren of any heavy amount of copper
 A prominent copper interest, who has canvassed the trade in all depart ments during the past few days, makes some significant statements.
 He claims that consuD ption of the metal in this country has eaten up not only production. plus imports, but that consumptive demand during the year just closed has wiped out the surplus of 150.v00 GOO pounds which ex isted when 1902 came in; moreover that the entire floating supply of cop per OF hand at present is represented by the production of one month in transit. or 50,000, 900 pounds. In oth CT words, the supply of the metal is Gown to a rock bottom basis, and that when January demand sets in, con sumers will be forced to pay a prem ium for spot deliveries. Recent sales ai a fraction above the nominal market range would indicate that a premium is already in existence.
 Whether these statements will stand the test of time remains to be dis closed.
 Oddly enough, a prospective settle ment Of the copper war between in portant producers does not at the mo moment or so much into calculations as to the immediate future of the market as does the question of demand and supply, yet that some amicable ar , rangement either has been made or will later be arranged finds ready cur rency in many quarters.-Ffnancial News

TCMLINsON INTERVIEWED
 IN LOS ANGELE REcENII

The Los Angeles Times of Sunday contains the following:
 G. E. Tomlinson of the Copper Glance Mining company of Bisbee. who is in the city on a short visit. re ports there is great activity in that district, where much capital is being invested, and many of the properties are being opened on large scale. The Calumet and Bisbee Develop ment company is the name Of new corporation recently organized to de velop promising group of claims in others i1 the Warren district. is back ed by Michigan capital. The property adjoins the old South Bisbee group, now the Lake Superior and Pittsburgh Development company, and a two-com- partment shaft is to be sunk at once. Orders have already been placed for machinery, and development work will be soon started on large scale NIT. Tomlinson reports that the Cop per Glance company, which owns a valuable group of 24 claims near Bis bee. is now engaged in doing a large amount of development work A two compartment shaft has been sunk to depth of 530 feet. At 505 feet water was encountered, and this is regarded as an excellent indication A drift has been started at the 800 foot level to explore the territory on the south side. A single-compartment shaft on the south side of the property is 156 feet deep.
 The company is taking out patents for the entire group of claims. and many improvements are to be started in the near future. As soon as lumber arrives ten houses will be erected.
 The Marquette and Arizona Develop ment company recently acquired a large group of claims on the south of the Copper Glance, and has already completed arrangements for extensive work
 The smelter of the Calumet and Ari- zona company at Douglas, twenty-six miles from Bisbee, is now producing 25,0O0 pounds of copper a day. and this will soon be increased, as another 250 ton furnace is nearing completion. The company's mines in the Bisbee camp are the richest mines ever dis covered in Arizona, as the average of the ore runs, close 10 10 per cent.
 The outlook for Bisbee is very bright and there is every reason to believe that new developments soon to be begun there will surpass anything yet attempted.

MUCH CAPITAL FOR MINES
 IS SEEKING INVESTMENT

From those who are interested in mining the fact is learned that more capital is now in Los Angeles await. ing investment in mining properties than ever before, says the Los Angeles Herald. This capital is of the class that has little to do with the openinq of prospects or the purchase of stocks Heated upon properties that have sur face merit, but whose underground
 values have not been demonstrated. , This capital is prepared to purchase properties that will conform to legiti- mate requirements of capital, in which merit and virtue are discernable. Min ing has come to be regarded as a legi- timate business, and with the present surplus of capital an avenue is sought | for profitable investment Those who
 have valuable properties that can stand the light of day have discovered
 that capital can be interested
 Many prospectors who have claims frequently are at loss to understand
 why the man with the idle dollars in the bank will not snap up the oppor-
 tunities that are asserted to be rich | enought to eat.' This is a problem that
 solves itself. Few men who have ac-
 cumulated money in any one of the | scores of commercial paths are liable
 10 distinguish between a clay bank and | a mine. Thus the man with money is 1 compelled to depend upon the judg-
 ment of those who can give reliable
 and accurate information. The one question that stares the investor in
 the face is Will the vein go down?''
 No one can blame the dollar mar for
 hoping that it will. Every mine own
 CT trusts it will. The only way out of
 the difficulty is for prospectors to open their ground with intelligence. to
 cease gopher work, to confine their energies on one shaft, to get depth as scon as possible and to cross cut so
 that the mine will show measurement.
 No matter. if the vein does crop the l full length of the claim, the investor | has right to know what is below. i This is also essential for the miner.
 for the sooner he knows that. his claim has no future the sooner can he turn his work. and intelligence to such claims that have. There need be no fear that claims will give out New l strikes in old fields are of daily occur
 renee.
 l The one obstacle that seems insur- mountable is the endeavor to please the man who wants a mine so rich that he can take hatchet and cut of the gold, as farmers hack down the corn
 stalks in Kansas and Nebraska. This
 class of investors is usually looking for that which could not be found and
 if found they would not have the op- portunity to invest. Intelligent effort
 directed toward proving property to q | certain standard is the goal to which
 prospectors should aim, and this well
 done. all classes of capital can be
 found that will lend a hand for future | development
