+ q COPPER SITUATION.

The official announcement by the United Metals Selling company of a reduction of one-eighth cent in the price of copper to Is IA cents is sim ply taking official recogRizance of the price ruling for the metal. As matter of fact, sales of electrolytic copper have been made at fifteen cents, but this is the lowest price at which producing interests will sell, and an order for S,000,000 pounds at fraction under fifteen cents has been turned down by the United Metals Selling company and the American Metal company. The large consumers of copper have been bear ing" the market for some time. but in the absence of any stocks of cop per. the producing interests have been holding firm to quotations. AS a mat. ter of fact, metal quotations are about 1-SG3-Sc per pound off from the highest prices.
 John Stanton says in regard to the reduction of one-eighth-cent per pound in copper: with the opening of lake navigation it is customary 10 make a little reduction in the price of the metal because freight is less for Lake shipments than for all rail shipments. There is a saving in the Lake rate of twenty cents per 100 pounds and producers are willing to give the trade the benefit of at least a portion of this amount. While the price is a little less, the profit to the producer is just the same. Besides, this is the time of year when large buyers of copper both here and abroad hold off in anticipation of placing large orders later on. We have no copper for sale at any price and I do not believe that any of the other large producers have very much for sale at the present time"
 Large Connecticut consumers have attempted to break the price by keep ing out of the market and talking down the prices but so far their eff. forts have proved unavailing, as the producing interests have been well sold ahead, and have been able fully to maintain quotations in the absence of any quantity of spot copper. Lead ing authorities believe the metal will sell higher than the present price before the close of 1905, and they base their opinion upon the heavy prospective demand in this country by reason of the extension of build. ing operations all over the country, the extensive terminal improvements by the Pennsylvania and he New Tory Central roads, the building of the subways in Greater New York and the heavy consumption of the metal by the American Locomotive and the car equipment companies as well as by the large electrical man.

y & G DIAMOND DRILL WORK.

In the annual report of the Calumet & Arizona company, the successful
 development of which has attracted
 wide attention. is significant state ment in regard to results of the explo' rations by diamond drill which were made on the property. Altogether there was a total of 2,312 feet of yer tical and 905 feet of horizontal drill ing done. The deepest hole was 9OS feet. As regards results the re- port says: Our aim in drilling in the Irish Mag and Oliver working has been for the direct purpose of indicat' ing economical direction and dis sribution of drifting work. It is not considered by the local management hat drilling is particularly useful in
 his formation for directly finding ore, IS the latter formation seldom makes a core even in solid pyritic ores. The drill is used directly for negative in- formation, and such positive values as can be inferentially made from any ore material encountered. At the Mag shaft, the drill has found al- tered limestone (silicious) to a depth of 900 feet below the twelfth level. It has all been more or less miner alized with pyritic material, assay1ng from tenths to three per cent cop per. So far the results are inconclu- sive, and we have had much diffi- culty with caving holes-in one hole losing a bit At the Oliver, the drill has fulfilled it's purpose as far as 1t has been used. Here our holes have been short. testing ground to learn
 where work may be done with best dispatch, and immediate maximum results. The results have Justified
 the idea, as we have avoided many drifts that would have burdened our facilities for tramming and hoisting. It is understood that there is much ground drilled that will be opened by drifts later, but the indication of the drill work justifies the delay of the

 COPPER QUEEN PRODUCTION.
 Copper Queen production at the big plant at Douglas for the month of Apri was in the neighborhood of 7,750, 900 pounds slightly under the figure for March. but in excess of production for February. Construction work is pro- crossing nicely on the increased plant and steel is being received without in- terruption. The foundry capacity of the plant is to be doubled which will allow of two casting floors.

 JUNCTION DEV. co.
 Towards the close of last weet Junction again encountered another stringer of ore in it's shaft having width of two feet which cut across the shaft at depth of about 974 feet. The stringer assayed eight per cent anc was carbonate ore. It will be re membered that between the $50 ant 950 in the shaft. a body of ore was passed through which lasted for a distance of fifty feet. The last tive foot stringer has been passed through and the formation in the bottom oi the shaft at present is solid limestof at the 1000 foot mark. This class ol formation has been more or less anX iously looked for. A pump station will be cut at this point and the pumps on duty at the ITO will be low cred here in the very near future Locally, Junction is being backed fol a big winner. Stock that can be had at present figures looks like a gift providing the purchaser is able to hold on until the date of the orSaniza ton of the mining company.

S 2 2 PRODUCTION OF SALT IN SPAIN

The salt industry of Spain is daily extending it's sphere of operation, and besides supplying domestic wants, estimated at 300,0O0 tons yearly, ex. ports considerable quantities, amount. ing in 1904 to 350,OOO tons, an in. crease of 71,729 and 5S,5S4 tons since 1902 and 1903, respectively. This production admits, however, of 3 still better development, if the public au- thorities help to keep the ground clear of all encumbrances, which must prove fatal to a commodity whose selling price is only $1.35 per ton. The industry, placed upon a new basis, governed by modern systems and processes, is capable, no doubt of having an era of prosperity never before experienced by it. There arc in Spain today 209 concessions of rock salt works, extending over an area of 6,803 acres, of which number 54 are in operation and 155 are idle. The territory covered by the former is 2.3S5, by the latter 4,418 acres. Spanish production of salt compared with the rest of the world ranks sixth in importance, being exceeded by that of the United States, England, Ger many, France and Austria-Hungary, So far Spanish salt has been admitted into the markets of Uruguay, New foundland, Russia. Argentina, Sweden, Brazil, France, Cuba, Norway, Bel gium, England, the Netherlands and countries of minor importance, where it is regarded as unequaled for salt ing and tanning hides. The salt works of Cadiz alone have contributed 63.3Z per cent. or 221, ,657 tons toward the total exports of 1904, other parts par ticipating with 12s,349 tons. The av craze production of the sea salt pans l is 3O0, 900 tons, a quantity which could be much increased if modern altera tions were made and certain tracts now lying idle were made to produce 1 Two thousand laborers live within the radius of this industrial region i and the wages distributed among them amount to 236,250 yearly.

PATAGONIA DISTRICT COMING.

Con O'Keefe returned Monday from a visit to his mining property in the Patagonian mourfains and is well pleased with the result of the develop ment work being prosecuted. Some 300 feet of tunnels and shafts have been run, all in ore. He reports the survey for the narrow guage railroad from Mowry to Patagonia and to the Salero as completed and the grade stakes set The road passes within half a mile of his mine. From the Salero it is said the road will con nect with the Twin Buttes road be- ing built south from Tucson. From the Mowry the road will doubtless be extended to Washington camp.

THE SAGINAW.

The Saginaw this week measured S65 feet in it's shaft, and is going ahead steadily at the rate of 65 feet per month. The shaft still continues in an encouraging lime formation slightly mineralized with some iron sulphides. So far, the water which was encountered in the shaft about a month ago, has not interferred with sinking operations and about three buckets are being hoisted daily besides what comes up with the dirt In addition to work in the shaft, a drift is being run on the three hundred and fifty towards the old incline shaft put down by the original owners for the purpose of making an air connec- tion.
 placed an order with a mining ma chinery company at Akron, Ohio, for double drum first motion hoist, which is expected to be on the ground within sixty days. The new hoisting machinery which also includes two 150 H. P. boilers, will have a capacity to handle a load of 750O pounds at a depth of 140O feet
 When water first made it's appear ance at the Saginaw it was thought probable that the water level had been reached. This was at a depth of a little less than 800. Since that time however sinking has not yet been interfered with and it is the in tention of the company at the present time to go just as far-as possible be- fore starting any exploratory drifts. When these are started they will be run in three different directions and when this work starts stockholders will be justified in pricking up their ears. It is-not impossible by any means but that the ore body will be en- countered in the shaft before the drifts are started, but it is not ex- pected.

THE OLIVER.

Up at the C. & A. work is progress ing on the foundation for a first motion
 hoist to replace the geared hoist op- erating the timber compartment at
 the Mag shaft. At the same time tim
 bers are being framed for a gallows on the air shaft for the purpose of com mencing active prospecting of the ground above the 750 level. The first commercial ore of importance came out of the Sth level of the Irish Mag claim and it is much discussed ques- tion whether or no any ore bodies of sufficient value will be discovered in
 the prospecting work about to be un- dertaken above the 750 level. Leached, irony formation comes all the way to the surface on the Irish Mag, but the c. & A. stock, to use a slang expres- sion, has been "on the bum" for the past two weeks and touched the 100 mark towards the close of the week and bid of 99 was even recorded.

RETURNS FROM MAGDALENA.
 D. J. Austin, a well known mining prospector of Bisbee. has just returned from three weeks trip to the Mag dalena district, Sonora, where he has some prospects. One is to be devel- oped some time in the near future. He reports great activity all through the mining district. Many new pros pectors are to be seen busily hunting out the most promising locations and preparing to stay with the claims located until sufficient capital can be interested to properly develop the properties Mir. Austin reports that the Transvaal Mining company, which is located some 30 miles south of Ma cozari are putting up their 100 plant and preparing for active work, which has greatly stimulated prospectors throughout the district.

 CALUMET & PITTS5URG.
 Since the weather conditions have changed for the better. work on the Hoatson shaft is progressing faster While sinking to some extent has been carried on. a depth of forty feet having already been obtained, the prin- cipal operations for the past week have consisted in getting the surface equipment in proper shape. A six drill air compressor, formerly at the Oliver, has just been installed. There is to be some fast sinking reported from the Hoatson shaft when things get squared around judging from the present appearances. The work of moving the main line of the E. P. & s. w. R. R.. twenty feet from the site of the shaft, has been completed and the landing for the waste will be To- cated beneath this track and connect cd with a dump through a tunnel with concreted walls. The Hoatson shaft inside measurement is by 20 fit in. The work mapped out for the Hoatson shaft is to get the ore and the best expert opinion is that the new shaft can be depended on to deliver the goods.

 The two new compartments at the Cole shaft can be expected to be avail. able for use Sunday. night. May [. Installation of a six inch steam line and an eight inch water column and six inch air line, all of which is now assembled in double lengths on the surface. will immediately be started l the moment the shaft is available. all of which will extend to the HOO level. It is hoped by the management to have the remodeling of the two old compartments completed within thirty days. At the L. s. 6 P. all sup plies are now being delivered by the ACN idA-iOdd oPul yuSl COu1plclcQ anu the plant is now using fuel oil exclu ] sively, as is the case with all of the Bonanza Circle plants. with the OK ception of the Hoatson, the new shaft just started, which is using coal tenn porarily. awaiting the installation of the permanent boilers. At the c. & A. smelters it has been demonstrated that four barrels of oil are equal to a ton of coal for fuel purposes, al though some make the claim that three and a half barrels will do the work. At any rate there is very lit. | tie saving; if any. in the use of oil for fuel, but the cleanliness and the lessing of labor is a big item that swings the economical pendulum in favor of oil. In a short time the double drum hoist at the No. shaft will be moved over to the Hoatson and the single drum now in reserve at the No. will answer requirements there for the present at least.

Yuma last week from Quartzsite, where
ne has been experimenting develop
ment work on the property of che Des-
ert Queen Mining Company owned by
himself and Chicago capitalists. The
company owns % claims, in two groups,
near Quartzsite, Yuma County. The
working equipment consists of forty
horse power gasoline engine, air CON-
pressor, power drill, etc, and develop
ment work has been in progress sew
eral yeaps-S75, 900 having been ex-
pended. Speaking of the property, Mr..
Wyatt said
"'Rhe ore is of high grade and the
lodges are wide; mill returns give 60
per cent copper, > ounces of gold and
20 ounces Of silver. There is a second
grade OF ore, the returns showing 10
per cent copper, So gold and % ounces
of silver. The workings on both prop
critics consist of big crosscut tunnels
which cut the ere lodges at a depth of
from 300 to 500 feet, 800 to 800 feet of
drifting on veins. a sixty-ton smelter
will be erected when the cooler wealth
er begins and sixty-ton units will be
added as the ground is opened up"
