FINAL AND CHA MINING DIS TRICTS BOOMING AND
 ACTIVE
(Froln Sunday 'a Daily.)

The mining industry of Pinal and Gila counties was never in such q healthy condition As now. Leaving Globe out vf consideration, the Han ner mining district of Gila county, which lies adjaeen, to Final, is certain ly very active one.
 Extensive development work is be- ing carried on at the MeIiugb mines, which were recently bonded by Dr. Rob- crts of Los Angeles, several large are bodies being uncovered since he took charge. The Snyder group of mines is working under the. snpcrintendency of Jake snyder, who is also taking out ex' cellcnt ore.
 The town of Kelvin, Pinal county, is enjoying boom, and great activity pre- vails throughout the entire district. Promising properties are continually changing hands. new mining men are coming in and an air of prosperity prevails, never before known m that section. From one 10 three ear loads of exceptionally good ore are being daily shipped to the Humboldt smclter and the Troy Manhattan is also on the producing list and shipping large quan' titles of ore to the same plant.
 The Ray company has entered the list of shippers as well as number of other promising properties which are being operated in smaller way. The Lake Superior Arizona Mining company is pushing the development of its mines and preparations are being made for the building of railroad from Florence to Superior, which will tap one of the most promising mining districts in the Territory.

(From Sundays Daily.)

As a sequel to the visit of Supervisor E. II. Smith, on. Thursday last, to the Green Mountain group of mines in the Hassayampa district, made in company with C. J. McNulty and George q.

 Tho consideration of the deal was not made public, but is known to be .,l amount reaching into five figures, involving n cash payment when the transfer was eonsummatcd late yester' Jay afternoon.
 The group, which consists of twelve claims, is located on the Hassaysmpa slope of the Copper Basin divide, near the hcadwaters of Little Copper Creek, about twelve miles in southerly di' rsetion from this city The locations cover section of porphyry crossing tho Mountains from the Hassayampa River to Copper Basin, which is trav' erscd by ssrics Of quartzite dykes, the mineraliEed zone being associated with the poyphyry and quastzite contacts. .

 About seven years ago, end n number of years after Jack Lawlcr, at great expense, had built wagon road from Hillside station, on tho s. F. P. & P.

DEMANDS FOR COPPER PROPER,
 TIES INCREASING. ' t'
From Tuesday $ Daily,

As''h AuN"'"y s'''JI / With the exploiting of the Eureka 'lis triet, and the sensational advance in tho price of copper, has come . renwed de' mand for copper properties, and as rc- suit not only the above district, but others in this and other vicinities ih Arizona are coming in for much inye- tigation.
 That eastern capital is awakening at last [. the importance of Yavspbi county as mining district, nnd onf that Is likely to become a factor in tu, copper world, Is made manifest by the increased local demand for copper prot. critics. and the fact that stock and min, ing brokers in this section of the conn try are receiving numerous calls for such properties, so many, in fact, ihrt they are resorting to advertising to sat isfy the demands of their clients, show" that it is now only n matter of tim, until Yavapai county will have taken her place in the foremost ranks of min ernl producers in this Territory, as n copper mining district.

TwuNrY.YrvH CENT COPPER NOW ..I , P0SSlHtE.

The copper market Is excited and prices continue to show ian advancing tendency. Lake and eloetrolytic may now be quoted at 2lr, to q cents per pound. Sales of round lots have bceu made at 22 cents, and, reports say, at 22h and 23 cents also. The leading selling agencies and the largest produc. ing interests are advising consumors to refrain, as long as possible, from mak. ing further purchases. Buyers have been bidding prices up against them. selves. and producers, having no cop. per for nearby delivery, have been un. able to stop the advance. One of the largest selling interests says that his concern could not contract to deliver more than 100000 pounds of electro. lytic copper during the remainder of this year.
 The largest producing interests rc. grct the present condition of things ahd express fear that prices may go to 2J cents per pound. They realize that n level must eventually be reached where prices will check consumption. There is no fear, however, that there will be any sudden or ungovernablc de. cline in copper prices. In future times when business conditions become m. favorable, however, the decline in cop. per prices will have none of the pan. icky characteristics that have been witnessed two or three times in the past.
 The recent advance in the prices of copper to level above 20 cents has apparently had absolutely no effect on consumption. The movement to sub. stitutc electricity for steam throughout the entire world Is at last making itself felt in n pronounced manner on copper the product which is so essential in the accomplishment of this marvellous change. According to the best authori. tics-rcprescntativcs of. the big Lake producing copper properties and the largest selling agents in the country -- 1t is impossible for anyone to say n, the present time at what price the de mand for copper will be curtnilcd, and the movement now on be checked. 1, goes without saying, therefore, tha, with conditions as they are at present and with the outlook 50 xccptionall, bright from the producing standpoint the big copper producing properties which are already getting a record breaking revenue, are practically assur cd of further increase in the same fo n year to come at least.
 There is now every reason to bclicv that the price will average fully 2 cents per pound during the coming | months at kast, and there is little pro, pect that the price will drop material below 20 cents until severe rcnctio in general business conditions is unde way.
