collateral, it would seem that the con. dition would be better than now. Phy. sically, there would be no change. The ore is there and those who have pro tected their stock need not worry. It will work cut all right, and with big interest. Prices can only be maintain ed through buying whenever there is an apparent sagging, and just now no one appears to be buying. and the sag. ging continues. So long as there is a dropping price buyers will remain out of the market, as they aim to get stocks at the lowest possible price.

 The extraordinary production of the smelting industry in Douglas is hard ly appreciated by our own people, and the story to the initiated and the outsider who has not seen with his own eyes reads like chapter from the Arabian Nights. From a desert valley, where the jack rabbits and ca votes held high carnival and the dust storms played hide and seek with the mesquite bushes, with not a human habitation within the sweep of the horizon to a city of eight thousand people and the second shelter city in the world is long cry in four years time. Copper is King. Copper has made the city of Douglas the brightest crown of Southern Arizona and the gateway to Sonora, the em- pire state of the Republic of Mexico, and probably the richest mineral field in the world
 The two smelters in Douglas are producing today approximately Il, ,000- 900 pounds copper bullion per month. or $500 tons, worth, in the markets of the world, at the prevailing price of fifteen cents per pound, s1,650.0 .000 carrying a by-product of gold amount ing to SIP per ton, or 566,00O, making gross output every thirty days of nearly a million and three-quarters of money. These are the cold fig ures, which speak for Douglas, and copper is the magic wand that brought lnJO SAlSlEuCS d u1OuSIn Sily WHICH ID hardly old enough yet to have place on a modern map.
 The location of the reduction works of the Calumet and Arizona and the Copper Queen Mining Companies at this point was no chance act. With far-sighted business prudence and sa- gacity the managing powers of these companies sought a location in easy access to their mines, where room was abundant and water plenty, and where the rich copper ores of Sono- ra would be easily accessible. Find ing every condition here in the heart of the Sulphur Springs Valley which they sought, they acquired property and laid off the sites of their respec tive plants. With the driving of the first stake that marked the location of their buildings. the city of Doug las was born and the city's growth has only kept step with the develop | ment of the reduction works.

PEARcE MINES TO BE OPERATED
 AGAIN.

c. NJ Renaud left today for Pearce says the Prospector. MT. Renaud states the Commonwealth Co. prop erty is to be reopened under lease by Messrs. A. Y. Smith and associates and it is expected force of over 1oe men will be employed in the mine, mill and cyanide plant in a short time. The news of the resumption of work at this famous property is pleasing information andN will doubtless lead to operations on an even more exten- sive scale, since there is known to be large ore reserves in this property.

EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT.

Work at the Empire State property is goinng ahead steadily in the tun. nel that is being run. This tunne! has had some ore from the start and is now reported to be looking very good. It is in about 200 feet. Its objective point is figured to be about 1900 feet further on, 1t being the in- tention to run the tunnel 15OO feet, where it is expected that an ore body will be encountered. The work is be ing done by hand and is necessarily proceeding slow. The management of the company claims to have an abundance of money now in hand to carry the work through. In view of which it has been recently suggested that economy would be observed and much more rapid headway made if a compressor should be installed and ad' vantage be taken of machine work

MITCHELL DEVELOPMENT.

The visit of Secretary Bateman of Mitchell Development. which was brought to a close during the week, resulted in the resumption of work in small way at the property. This work appears to be principally to the end of arranging for resumption of real development at the property at later date, probably when MT. Bate, man returns in July in company with officers of the company. Arrange. ments were not closed with all the

now again it has been found that the plant is not large enough to handle the ever increasing ore output of the mine at Bisbee, and large additions to the plant are now under way. A new smokestack 200 feet high and sixteen feet indiameter is under pro cess of construction, ana will be com pleted within the next zen days. This stack is built of steel, and is self supporting. New flue chambers are house has recently been built, and large additions made to the power house plant Two new boilers have been installed in the new boiler house, making seven in all The boiler house is 14O feet in length by 40 feet in breadth. The reduction room or floor is being largely increas. ed in size, sixty feet being added to it's length and fifteen feet to it's breadth. A new electric crane is to be installed and the old crane rebuilt and made fifteen feec longer. The betterments and extensions now un- der contract will cost some $500, 900, and when all are completed and the plant is operated to it's full capacity under the same intelligent and eff cient management which has produc- ed such amazing results during the past years the output of the reduc- tion works are likely to run close to month. If in the fullness of time that should be brought about which is often rumored, that the Calumet and Arizona properties and Bonanza Circle mines in Bisbee, which have been developed and are now ready to become producers and are owned practically by the same people who own the c. & A, should be consoli- dated into one big company, it would take no unreasonable stretch of the imagination to see the Calumet & Arizona reduction works at this place grow into one of the largest reduction works in the country, riv- aling if not exceeding the Copper Queen and the Anaconda, and these time. The Calumet & Arizona, at a moderate depth, have developed an abundant and never failing water supply, in fact have more water than they can possibly use. Their gen. eral offices are located in close prox- unity to the plant, together with the superintendent residence and some dozen handsome cottages and a well equipped boarding house for the use of employees whose presence near the smelter at all hours is desirable. The Calumet & Arizona Company have a capital stock of $2,5OO,OOO divided into 250,000 shares of S10 each. It is paying large dividends to it's stock holders and in addition is paying for all of its betterments and improve ments out of it's earnings, and has nearly $2,00O,O0O in cash ih its treas ury. Their Bisbee mine is one of the most valuable copper properties in the world. Enough ore is already uncovered and in sight to keep the re duction works in operation for twen- ty years. At the mines all white la bor is employed, and the wage scale is from $3.5O to s4.O0 per day for eight hour shifts. Approximately 1000 men are employed in the mines.
 This company has made a record unparalleled in this country for the production of copper. It has been but a little more tha1 six years since the company was organized, and all of these marvellous results have been ccOmplished in that time, and the end is not yet.

BERNARD CLAIMS DEVELOPMENT

A force of men are at work in the Bernard tunnel at his claims in the Empire State neighborhood. The tun. nel is now in 200 feet and is going ahead steadily. The outlook at the property is said to be altogether en- couraging.

NORTH BUTTE.

With it's mine earning about $6,000 per day. and with a nice lot of new claims now to be added insuring terri long into the future, North Butte looks about as bright as anything in the cop per list. Those who have the affairs of the company in hand did remarkar bly well in the acquiring of new terri. tory lying contagious to the claims in the original property. The ore veins of this company stand nearly vertical, and do not make off the property rap idly, as in some other districts, but the ground on the strike of the vein IS an important thing to have. North Butte has more than one vein upon which 1t is conducting mining, too, so that the ground lately obtained means very much more than. the average shareholder now realizes. The Bonau- "a Circle blood has always insisted upon plenty of room.
 North Butte IS very rich in silver, too, this metal paying the cost of min ing and smelting in many places in the mine Where the ore runs about 15 per cent copper, it will also carry 15 ounces of silver. It gives about an ounce of silver to the per cent of cop per where the copper runs from to % per cent. This is very fine com bination and works out well in the re- suits from the smelters- The ore, as is generally known, is remarkably high grade, said by Butte papers to be the very best in that camp, and additions to ore deposits have been substantial during the past few months. Arrange ments for large gain in present out puts are now under way, and will soon be perfected. Then the property will begin to demonstrate it's real value.
 It seems to be doing very well, and those swho know are predicting a great future for it. It is in a substantial camp and close to some of the best pro ducers. It is in good hands that will push operations vigorously.

 So long as the ore is there the share holders need not worry over their holdings in Bisbee, says Iron Ore. Those who have slight margins are apt to suffer as do all who conduct busi- ness on this insecure plan. Margins are the curse of the stock business. During the week Bonanza Circle stocks have been low. No one has been buy ing, and those who wanted to sell had to make big sacrifices In order to at. tract purchasers. Iron Ore still be. lieves that were these shares listed on the exchange a much broader market would be had. But listing would not be advisable unless the companies were consolidated, and there are those who seem to think this unwise. At least they do not appear to be anxious for any plan yet suggested. It is a matter concerning the stockholders. They are the ones to decide the ques- tlon. Listed, with the stock having the approval of the banks and accepted as
