The sale is reported from New York of 10,000,000 pounds of Arizona copper at IS 5-S cents. This is an advance of IS cent Der pound,
 Jos. J. HinckIey arrived Monday from Bisbee to take the position of mine foreman for the new company to be formed by Duluth and Bisbee par ties who have acquired large holdings here. Mir. Hinckley was foreman for the c. & 4. at the Oliver shaft, Bisbee.
 The Five Points Mining company re- gently opened a fine body of bornite and oxide ore, asaying 35 per cent copper, in a drift which is in ore for some distance, and the face of this opening is said to be all in this high grade ore.
 R. 4 Irion was in from Pinal ranch on Monday to look after a shipment of rich ore from the Irion 6 Craig mine to the Old Dominion smelter Mir. Irion stated that the Pinto creek sec tion is full of miners and prospectors, and developments on some of the properties there are very encouraging,
 The Montezuma Copper Mining ,om> pany reports that chalcopyrite ore has been struck at 65 feet in the shaft they are sinking, also some very good carbonate ore on their adjoining claims. The company now owns sev- enteen claims and has a fine showing of ore on several of them
 The Great Western Copper company commenced shipping ore April g, from their mine near the head of Mineral creek to the Old Dominion smelter The ore is high grade and shipments will be increased just as soon as more teams can be obtained and needed repairs made on the road. The com. pany has been advertising for teams
 Rolling Rogers and Starr and James Wiley own three claims south of the Buckeye and near the Stonewall mine, on one of which they have re- gently opened fine body of ore. A winze sunk 50 feet on the ledge was in high grade copper ore all the way down and yielded about twenty tons that runs from 12 to 26 per cent cop per and carries good silver values. The pay streak, two and a half feet wide lies near the center of the ledge and it is expected that other veins will be encountered in crosscutting. as on the opposite side of the gulch the same ledge shows good ore on both hanging and footwall. The ore taken  out in sinking the winze will pay for the work and leave handsome profit General Manager Chas. H. Cutting and Supt. Thos. Kavanaugh. of the Troy Mining company, who were here on mining business, returned to Troy today. Mir. Cutting came to Arizona month ago from Boston where ne now spends most of the time. Develop ment work on the company's property at Troy continues without intsrrup- tion. The Buckeye shaft has been sunk 800 feet, which is 200 feet be ! low water level, and at that depth a drift has been driven to the east 260 feet aad will be continued about $50 feet farther before crosscutting.

VETERAN PROSPECToR ~ FINDS QUARTZ LEAD
REPORT OF GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE PLACER DISTRICT COMES
 FROM GREATERvILLE

News from Greaterville is to the prospector, who is widely known throughout this Territory and Cali. foTnia, has struck the quartz lead at the head of the gulches, for which prospectors have been searching in that section for thirty years.
 Garden is one Of the typical old time prospectors- He has associated with him T. J. Johnson. Garden has been independently wealthy several times from rich strikes which he has made both in Arizona and California As often as he has become wealthy he has become F6or. Money seems to represent little to him and he spends with lavish hand. It is still remem- bered that the last time he was rich he handed messenger boy a $50 check as tip and he also astounded the natives of Vails by importing champagne and treating everybody.
 Garden was in Tucson recently broke" He cast about for time for some one to give him a grtbstake. His proposition looked good to Judge William Lowell and Tom R. Richey, who furnished him with material
 The quartz lead witch Garden is reported to have found is just at the head of the gulches and just beyond the property of the Santa Rita Sin ing Company, which has extensive placer operations at Greatervilie. A shaft has been sunk forty-two feet and the ore gets rich as they 20 down. Specimens of the dirt which have been brought to this city show re turn of from $500 to s400 in gold.
 There is a marked activity at Great erville. The Bingham brothers and other well-known prospectors are op erating there.
 At the foot of the gulches Fred Hughes who is a well-known exlegis lator and mining man. and B. Bar cello are sinking to bed rock. Their operations are just below those of the Santa Rita Mining Company, while the others are above.

THE METAL MARKET CONTINUES ID
 GROW STRONGER EVERY DAY
Urgency of Present Demand Makes Very Plain that Consumption Exceeding PrOduCtOn Even Current High Prices Douglas Submits Some interesting Figures

the coming week or two. however, the coppers should again be the leaders of an advancing market. Important divi- dend increases are to be announced soon by several copper producers, and these will undoubtedly give the mar ket the impetus desired.
 Helvetia copper stock sold up to 3-4 on the curb this week. It is ap- parently being bought by insiders and their friends. A director who recently visited the property expresses conti- dence that IL will make paying mine. Another director says the stock ought to sell at s15 to s20 per share.
 The assessment of s1 per share, which is payable the 25th inst, is un- derstood to be only The first of sev- eral that will be called The man. agement is detsssfsnined to give the property Every possible chance and will epond money freely in it's expl0r- ation, development and equipment. All expenditures will be under the direc- ton of thoroughly experienced and competent managers. Plans have been adopted to improve and enlarge the company's smelter, extend its railroad to connect with tke Southern Pacific at Vail and greatly increase de- veiopment wcrk and production. All of the Will probably be paid tor by earatngs and assessments on stock Aoleers, and those who bay the stock Or hold 1t must be prepared to meet the assessments as ohey are called.
 I estimate that total assessments of SC per share, wA;ch will give the Hel. vetia company over a million dollars, will provide . larger smelter, con. contractor, railroad connections and other equipment which should enable 1t to make 20.O00. 900 pounds of copper annually, provided, of course, that ore developments continue favorable
 Such a volume of production would make Helvetia stock worth between $50 and s75 per share. While .hese estimates are but little better than euesses, 1t will be recalled that there i is not a successful mining enterprise in Arizona which is not seiilag for .

Last year SS tons of pig iron were consumed for every ton of copper.
 The average yearly increase in the consumption of pig iron during the past decade was 1925 per cent, and the average increase in the production of copper during the same period was cnly 7.92 per cent. During 1905 the consumption of pig iron increased 39.4S per cent, and in the same year the increase in copper production was only 1895 per cent.
 These statistics apparently convince Prof. Douglas, as they should every body else, that no manipulation has been required to bring about the re- cent advance in the price of copper. He summarizes as follows: If, there ,u,,. there has been demand for ecrr- per ia the ratio of 1 to S of iron. 10 meet the requirements of the trade, the stocks of copper must be very low, and we need not attribute to artificial manipulation the existing seareit$, The development of our iron mines and the capacity of our iron and steel works Is such that a large increase in production Of raw ore and finished product can apparently be made with out seriously affecting the price, fuI no large increase in demand can be made on either our own or the worlds copper resources without producing a scarcity and a high value for the metal"
 Tn view of the extremely eshi money market and the persistent hq- uidation going on in the railroad and industrial stocks on the New York list, it has been a surprise to many financial interests tAat the coppers have not showh more pronounced weakness Their strength illustrates the fact. which has frequently been mentioned in these letters, that a very large proportion of the buying which caused the advance of the past two o< three years was the direct investment of cash. Comparatively few coppers

value of all of the ore in sight i , only s2 per ton, it would give Green stock a value of approximately $100 per share. The estimate can be cut in two and yet there is an apparent val ue of $50 per share in ore actually in sight at the presnt time.
 The ores of the Greene Consolidated company which now yield S2.50 per ton net will soon be increased in value at least S1 per ton by improved methods of mining and reduction which will reduce the average cost of treatment to that extent. As is well known, the devlopment of this prop erty was too rapid at first to permit of a careful observance of the rules of economy, and the work of greatly re- ducing production costs has not been given careful attention until within two years. It is believed that the i'm proved methods of concentrating, the roasting plant, revrberatory furnaces and the changes contemplated in the system of mining and handling of ores, will soon enable the company to produce 100,000,000 pounds of copper annually, at cost of not over 3 cents per pound, and that it's stock win be worth between $40 and $50 per gre on 13-cent copper market.
 The Greene Consolidated company undoubtedly owns one of the largest deposits of copper ore in the world, There is certainly every reasoI to be- neve tfat the demand for copl will co-itinue to increase ia the flu ire as 1t has in the past and that the craze market price will remain suff! iently high to enable Companies like the Greene to ears continuously large and increasing ftofits. This is certainly a conservative view of the situation, and vieSed from this standpoint Greene Stock is unquestionably a req sonably safe, as well as highly pro ductzVe investment. I believe that 1t win prove one of the best permanent investments now offering in the mar ket. For this reason, and because 1t is selling relatively lower than most other copper stocks, continue to ad- wise its purchase for investment or speculation.

The metal market continues to grow stronger, but prices are nominally un- changed. For advance deliveries lake is offered at IS 3-4 cents and electro lytic at IS 5-S cents per pound. The real position of the market. however, is reflected in more urgent bids for copper for immediate delivery. For eign consumers are in the market and are buying all the spot copper offered at slightly higher prices than those here quoted.
 The urgency of the present demand for spot copper makes 1t very plain that consumption is exceeding pro duction even at current high prices Some oi the largest producers declare that their production ,s alTeady solu up to the first of July, and they eAs press regrets that they have no epot copper to sell at the high nr..ces Some consumers are willing to pay. Un- less something occurs to shake the foundations of general business it would seem that the price of the metal must go to 20 cents per pound, or higher.
 The only cloud in the sky is the present stringency in the money mar ket. If those interested in new enter prises are to find 1t necessary to pay much higher than the customary rate for the use of money. 1t stands to req son there will be a decrease in the number and volume of new undertak ings, and consequently decrease ID the consumption of copper. Ii is be lieyed. however. that an adequate sup ply of money will be forthcoming soon and that neither existing nor new en terprises will be permitted to suffer blight from the cause mentioned.
 The unreasonably bearish attitude os certain metal trade publications hsf moved Prof. James Douglas. president of Phelps. Dodge & O., to prepare isi publication most interesting stafisti cal compilation showing the conIpara tive consumption of copper aud P. iron during each of the past ten yeai s He shows that there has bes1 an aver age of one tor of copper consumed ii the United States for each s3 tons O pig iron This was the exact fsta in the year 1896, and the lowest d.rlnl ten years was n tons of iron to on of copper in 1904. the highest was 5 tons of iron to one of copper in 1883
