The New York superintendent of banks gave ont last week his statement of the condition of l29 savings banks in the Empire state. as it was shown by their returns made on January 1. 1905. The aggregate of their resources totals the enormous amount of $l ,31 1 ,993, 505 which was gain for the year of more than $73, ,000, ,000. The amount owed depos tors was Sl, l9S, ,5S3, l42, which was gain for the year of S67, ,30l, l99. That shows very prosperous condi- ton for the state as a whole. The New York savings bank depositors could wipe out the whole of the interest bear ing debt of the nation, and still have left hundreds of millions.

We suggested the creation of such an office to President Hunt be- fore his departure for the capital as being highly desirable and in the in terest of economy and honest admins tration. We yet hope that some such measure will be enacted.

The Mining World prints this story which illustrates the fallibility of suc- cessful mining men 'Senator Clark, who is perhaps the wealthiest individ- ual mine owner in the United States, had a development option on some claims near the Copper Queen, in the Bisbee district, some years ago. His manager sunk shaft 400 feet and coming on considerable water the work was abandoned and the option thrown up Recent developments have shown that the shaft was within 60 feet of bed of copper ore. and that instead of abandoning the development when striking water, it should have been con- tinued, for the finding of the water is fairly certain indication of the prox imity of ore in that district. It is likewise said that the United Verde mine at Jerome was twice condemned by leading copper expert before Sen ator Clark took it up. Many other in- stances of this kind :might be told, all pointing to the fact that no mans judg- ment is infaliible in the matters of mining, and demonstrating that all the mines have not yet been found, even in districts long developed and exten- sively prospected."

Engineering and Mining Journal notes further improvement in the copper trade abroad, which has clearly shown that the requirements in Eng land and the continent are by no means supplied, and that exports are bound to continue on liberal scale for some time to come. Although domestic con- sumurs are extremely busy with orders, they have only been buying in moder- ate quantities. From this it would seem that a large percentage of the re- quirements remains uncovered while, on the other hand. the supplies in the hands of producers and dealers con. tinue to be unusually small. Eyi dently We may expect continuance of the present high prices of copper for some time to come.

For the frst year, New York's princi- pal supply of water will come from the overflow of the old Oroton dam. The latter will then be flooded and the water will rise thirty feet above it.

An eastern writer calls attention to the fact that copper mining companlcs are making enormous profits on the present metal market. The mines of the Lake Superior district, for in- stance, will increase their net earnings this year fully 5000, 900 if the price continues at the present level Since the Lake has figured as producer of copper, or from 1Sl5, it's copper mines have paid about Sl27. .000, 900. as com pared with SSG. .307, ,7S5 by the Mon tana copper mines. In this compari- son it should be remem bered that Mon. tana did not figure prominently as q copper producer until 1883. The Lake Superior and Butte districts have to date produced very nearly the same amount of copper. Bdtte producing 3,o0O, 900, 900 pounds, the Lake Supe. rior 3.4O0, 900, 900 pounds. On produc. tions very nearly similar Lake Supt- rior mines have paid $40, 900, GOO mole in dividends thin the Butte mines.

In all but twelve of the forty five states the sessions are limited to periods ranging all the way from forty to ninety days, sixty days being the most general limit. In such cases the time is about up. when the sessions began with January. This IS the case with the Arizona legislature. but there IS yet time to do whole lot of dam- age.

METAL SITUATION
No Disposition to Get Rid of Copper.
 Consumers See Situation

There ia general disposition to hold copper metal for all that it will bring and to refuse futures, says the Financial News. As has been stated in this publication, the stock of cop per and that in process at the lake Is very slightly in advance of immediate production. That the domestic manu- facturer is gradually awakening to the situation is evidenced by recent in. quiries and endeavors to shave the price by placing orders for the balance of the year at price slightly short of the market. Very few of these orders will be placed as the producers believe that the market will go higher rather than lower and that the average price will show a substantial increase over that of last year. Chief Of these en- deavorS to absorb large quanties of metal at price short of the market entire Calumet X Hecla product, which, 1t Is said, will fail of execution because the company can obtain bet. ter prices. The confidence of the pro- ducer seems to be unlimited that a better price will be seen before the end of the first quarter.
 A western coat man who has been travelling among the copper cOnSum- ing manufacturers of New England, placing orders for coal said that the manufacturers were beginning to realize that they were confronted with condition on the copper market which would not change for some time to come. This man Is reported to have said:
 'The manufacturers who use copper in the manufacture of brass are bsgin ming to see that the present price of copper rests on sound economic basis and that it is not likely tO change for at least year. While 1t is hard to discount the future l sse no reason why presen [ conditions should change short of year. All the loose copper and scrap material that is available has been consumed and the concerns have been for sed into the open market. There is such a marked shortage in the metll that even if the production should decrease sutfi :iently to affect prices by the end of the present year, there would be brisk market for a year following"
 The head of one of the lake com. panles said yesterday: i've have sold our product for March at l51 cents per pound, and we are practically sold up. l expect that the production at the lake will increase during the summer but not sufficiently Co affect prices or conditions. Closing out our March production at the present hy. ure lets us out the most successful ! winter we have eyer experienced"

The Standard Oil company has jus,
 declared dividend of l5 per cent for
 the curreat quarter. From 1891 to
 1895 this company paid l2 per cent a year. Its dividends increased to fl per cent in 1903 apd they were 3G per cent in 1904. The dividend for the current quarter would indicate a pres ent earning equal to $60 on every share of the stock, or total of S60, O00,000 on the capitalization of Sl0O, ,000,0 900. These enormous profits on their face prove, says the Mining World, that the oil trust IS actually monopolizing all the profits of the oil business, which equitably should be to the fee owner, the ope- rator, the refner and the dealer, and 'lso, incidentally, it is evident that q portion of this enormous profit IS made up from excessive prices 10 the consumer.

An exchange says that out of the to- tai amount of valuation of the territory the mines are assessed at but S4 900, 900, less than one-tenth of the valuation. It Is claimed by the mine owners that the mines represent about all there is of value in the territory, yet they escape taxation almost entirely. It is said on good authority that the output of the mines last year reached the sum of nearly S40,000,00 and of this sum the territory receives not one cent of revenue. Under this condition of af- fairs the legislature should pass some law requiring the mining interest to pay their just share of taxation. Co conino Sun.
