Individual deposits are greater by a million and half dol lars than they were at this same time last year. footing up a total Of ST. 900 ,000
 It is especially gratifying to the Re view to hear the Territorial Auditor state that Cochise county is leading the procession. The Miners & Mer- chants Bank of this city leads all oth- er banks in Arizona in the amount of money on deposit at the present time. The Bank of Arizona, at Prescott, is second, and the Bank of Bisbee, of this city, ranks third At the time of the last report the Miners & Merchants Bank of this city was in third place, and the Bank of Bisbee second, but the unusually heavy deposit to the credit of the original owners, of the Lucky Tiger mine in Mexico sweiled the amount of deposits over $2OO,000. It is very probable that the Miners & Merchants will continue to hold first place for some time to come, as the | Fl Tigre litigation is still in the | courts.
 MT. Page reports that the fees col lected in the Auditors office, monthly, on account of the filing of articles of l incorporation amounts to the enorm, ous sum of s4 4,500 on an average. All of these fees are recovered into the territorial treasury, and are used for the running expenses of the territory Prior to the passage of the law known as the "Cowan Bill" these fees were collected by the Secretary, and no rev enue was derived by the territory.

SHANNON

Shannon has been one Of the most active of the Boston stocks the past week. It is interesting to note that upwards of 75,00 shares has changed hands since April 1st, and we have reason to believe that the buying has been largely by one interest. Since that time the stock has advanced from s7 to S10 per share. The advance is due to the heavy purchases by well known banking interest that has a large interest in copper properties, and this buying comes simultaneously with very satisfactory increase in pro duction with a corresponding increase in earnings. &
 Now that the Shannon Copper com pany's converter is operating regular ly, there has been a fair reduction in cost sheets, which of course material ly increases the profit per pound, which, with the increased number of pounds produced, makes a very en- couraging showing.
