Social saIes the RuIe.

Clearance sales were the rule in all
the large mercantile establishments Of
the city during the week Dry goods,
clothing. boots and shoes took the lead
in the matter Of special sales and large
quantities of merchandise were moved
as the result of the slaughter Of prices.
Because of the special sales local trade
was abnormal throughout the week.
The volume of business was satiSfac-
tory; collections in all lines were good
and the outlook for the immediate fu-
ture gives great encoura cement.
The tone in real estate was good al
though few transfers of large dimen-
sions were recorded. All dealers report
good prospects for the spring and I'M
usual activity is predicted for this line
of business. The business of the past
week was confined largely to local in
vestOrs. Building operations showed
little change from the previous week.
Work was prosecuted on the building
in course Of erection and considerable
new work was outlined for the spring.
Prices of Stocks Are Firm.
There was little change in the local
commercial stock market Transfers
were confined to sugar stocks and
bonds. Prices remained firm. Quota

MINERAL OUTPUT
 AGAIN ENORMOUS.
For Seventh Time Total Annual Output
 Far Exceeds Billion Dollar Mark.

A most interesting chapter in the volume entitled "Mineral Resource of the United States, 1905," published by the United States Geological Sur yey, is that which contains a sum- mary of the mineral production of the United States during that year.
 In 1905, for the seventh time, the total value of our mineral produc- tion exceeded the enormous sum of S1, ,O00, 100000. The exact figures for 1905 are $1,623, SIT, ,127, as compared with sl, 36O, 1883, ,554 in 1904.
 AS heretofore, iron and coal are the most important of our mineral products. The value of the iron in 1905 was S3S2, ,45O,O ,OO0; the value of the coal, S476, ,756, ,963 The fuel increased from S5S4, ,O43, ,236 in 1904 to S602, AT, PIT in 1905, a gain of SIS, ,433, ,9S1, or 3. 16 per cent. Anthracite coal showed an increase in value ot S2 ,904, ,9S0 from s139 974, ,O2O in 1904 to S141, ,879, ,000 in 1905. The increase in value of the coal output over 1904 was S29, ,490, ,962, a combined increase in value of coal of S32, ,3S5, ,942 in 1905, or 7.3 per cent.
 The gain of s262, ,993, ,573 in the total value of our mineral production is due to gains in both metallic and nom metallic products, the metallic pro- ducts showing an increase from S5Ol,- O99, $50 in 12O4 to S7O2, ,453, los in 1905, a gain of $2O1, 1858, 158 and the non metallic products showing an increase from S859. 3S3, GOA in 1904 to S921 ,024, 019 in 1905, a gain of S6l, $40, ,415. To these products should be added esti- mated unspeciied products, valued at S4OO, ,OOO, making the total mineral production for 1905 of $l, 1923. SIT, ,127.
 Besides the usual table and sum- mary of quantities and values of the country's mineral output by products the volume contains this year, tor the first time, a summary, in tabu- lated form, of the value of the min eral products by States. The tables were complied by MT. Wm. Taylor.

THE COPPER QUEENS TAXES.
Company Will Again Appear in the Supreme Court Trying to EVade
 Paying Proper Tax.

Hon. John, H. Page, territoria auditor and chairman of the terri torial board of equalizatio was 1T Stafford last week. MT. Page was here for the purpose of making the regular bank examinations. MT Page informed us that none of the mining companies raised by the ter ritorial board of equalization had refused to pay their taxes excepting the Copper Queen, whose assessment with the raises added, is not over 1C per cent. of the real value of the property.
 The company itself does not con- tend that their property is over valued, in fact they rely upon techni- cal grounds to beat the tax. We do not believe, however, that the supreme court will stand for this kind of monkey business,
 It is admittedly right that the Copper Queen should pay more than they have been assessed, and the fight now being made will reach a great deal farther than the Copper Queen, for if that company can get the supreme court to render this de- cision in it's favor and again beat it's tax, it places every corporation in the territory in position to dictate the amount of taxes they will pay and leave the people absolutely to their "tender"' mercy.
 The producing mines of COchise county, with the territorial boards raise added, are supposed to be as sessed exactly the same as those of Graham county without any raise, while the non-producers are assessed lower than ours. The companies of this county have admitted that they are not over assessed and we do not believe that the supreme court will permit the Copper Queen to longer evade paying something near proper and honest taX.-Guardian.

No Cars For Men Out of Trust.

The interstate commerce Commis. sion car shortage has been progress ing at Kansas City for some time past. Numerous shippers in differ ent lines have been subpeonaed to testify.
 The commission is bringing out that by refusing to furnish cars to inde- pendent dealers, the railroads can put the grain trust in a position to practically dictate prices.
 H. G. Wilson, manager of the transportation department of the Kansas City board of trade, said the Kansas City grain men feared to ac- cept future orders for fear of ina bility to get cars.
 ''In your opinion, has the car short age had any effect upon the prices of grain to the people?" asked com. missioner Prouty.
 ''I think it has," replied Wilson.
 Wilson said that the claim of the railroads that grain men did not un- load the cars promptly did not apply to Kansas City grain men, as the cars that arrived there were released without delay.
 Witness presented data to show that receipts of grain at Kansas City had decreased 6S70 cars in II months and despite this, it was harder now to get cars than formerly.

Petty COchise Officials Have Rich Graft.

A review of the annual report of the clerk of the board of supervisors of Cochise county for 1906, shows that as compared with the expendi- lures of 1905, there has been a gen eral reduction in most of the items in the report. The expense of the justice courts for the past year was S37, ,255.17, and for the year ending January l, 1906, was S36,OOO. The amount for this year does not con tain the items of expense of the constables and justices ot the peace of Bisbee precinct for three quarters, as the amounts are still held up in the courts, as well as that of Constable Shropshire, of Douglas, so that with these items included, the cost of running the precinct or justice courts in the county would be increased from S37, ,255.17 to little over $50,000. The justice courts cost the county more than any other ex- pense except the public schools and costs nearly three times what it costs to run the district court. It is very evident that the taxpayers of the county should see that some remedy is made by the coming legislature. The expense of these courts has been increasing at the rate of $I0,000 to LOGO per year.-Review.

UNUSUAL PROSPERITY
 IN COPPER MINING.
Twenty-Eisht Companies Declare Divi
 dendS for This Year.

With silver and copper selling at extraordinarily high prices; with consumption and production of most metals fast increasing, and with greater economies in mining and ore treatment, the American mining and metallurgical industries are today enjoying unprecedented prosperity. When 115 of these corporations, ac- cording to a careful compilation by The Mining World, can pay in eleven months dividends aggregating $84,- 648, 163, there remains no reason for equitable return on their capital. Since their incorporation these -115 concerns have paid out in dividends the large total of S52l, ,224, 1928, which is equivalent to about two-thirds of their issued capitalization of $780, OLA, ,145. Even more surprising is the fact that no less than thirty-five of these corporations, capitalized any where from S20,O0O to S3O,OOO, ,OO0, have either returned in full their share-capital, or have also paid a bonus, and many of these properties still yield handsomely. A good part of the remaining eighty corporations have returned from one quarter to two-thirds of their Capitalization, and it would not be amazing to learn that a number of them will in the not distant future repay their total authorized share-capital.
 To be sure the harvest of dividends must, by reason of the natural order of things, fuctuate; but so far as can be judged there should be good earnings for mines and metallurgical works for some time to come. Even should there be a reaction in metal prices, there will still be a margin of sufficient to pay fair dividend cn the capital invested in the respective industries.
 In copper especially there has been unusual actively during the past eleven months, and the advance in the market price to the highest point production, but has resulted in enor- mously increased earnings for the older mines. Twenty-eight copper companies declared dividends for the eleven months this year aggregating S56, 6,093, ,273, making their distribution since organization S334, ,970, 446 on the issued capitalization of $349, 143, ,3lO, showing a return of about 96 per cent.

ARIZONA COMPANY
 IN BIG PURCHASE.
Calumet & Arizona Buys Much Ground
 South of DOu9IaS.

A deal of great importance to So- nora, sad to involve larger amount of money than entered in any pre- vlous proposition carried out in the state of Sonora, since formation of Cananea Central, was brought to a head, says the Cananea Herald.
 A portion of the story was told in the Herald last week in connection with the announcement of the ac- quirement of some HOO pertenencias in the Fronteras district though de- nouncement was made in the name ot Seth E. Hazard, attorney with the Calumet and Arizona interests at Bisbee. MT. Hazard departed in company with MT. Hayden, his as- sistant in handling the deal. It is learned that besides the denounce- ment filed there had been terms made for the purchase of adjoining ground extent held principally by James and Kirk of Cananea.
 On the latter ground there has been considerable development work which has shown to the present time ore reserves giving reason for belief that great mine may be expected to come in. The property to be ac- quired is known widely in Sonora as the Santa Rosa, it having been in the public eye as an excellent pros pect for the last several years.

Hartman Must Stop SaItOn Sea Inflow.

President Roosevelt will ask E. H. Hartman, head of the California Development company, to have re- paired at once the break in the left bank of the Colorado river across the Mexican boundary line, the overflow of which is causing such great dam age in the Imperial and Colorado val leys in California.
 This company is held responsible for the damage as the break occurred at the company's works erected un- der a concession from the Mexican government.
 The presidents decision was reach ed after a conference with Senator Flint, of California, Director Wal colt, of the geological survey and F. H. Newell, of the reclamation service and, in view of the impossibility of obtaining an appropriation from con- gress to do the work before the holi- day recess.

marked success, writes in the May De

a national theatre il for no other reason
than to produce the splendid plays Of
Shakespere. Miss Rockwell says:
The drama in this county needs some

could happen for the drama than TO
have standard productions of S~hakspere's
plays. To the play wright they would
offer an object lesson in dramatic con
struction and literary style and divert
his work from the insipid society play
or riotous musical comedy Of to-day, thus
raising the whole average of American
dramatic authorship. For the actor,
they would be an inspiration and at the
