NORTH BUTTE |S INCREAS|HG|TS
 PRODUCTION
Annual Report Shows Increase of Nearly 100000 Pounds, Net Earnings In Excess of S9,00 Per Share.

The annual report of the North Butte Mining Company shows that the company produced but slightly less than 10000 pounds of copper more than it did during the year 1905. The company received for its product about 4 cents the pound more than it did the preceding year.
 The company's net profits for the year were $3,637 200, as against $2,- 720,670 for 1905. The operating and constructing expenses for the year, however show an increase of $796, ,39G, which added expense is attributable to the added surface equipment at shaft No. 1 and the work of explora- tiOn which has ended in the opening of three new veins on the property in the direction of the Berlin claim.
 The company shows that the net earnings for the year ended on March 31 were slightly in excess of S9 per share and the company has on hand surplus carried over amounting to $2, 151 $50, which is about 30 a share additional.
 Thus it would seem that any talk of increased dividends on the part of the company to date on the basis of present earnings are without Iuunua- tion. .-...
 It is understood that the company plans to keep its surplus account about at the present figures, so that this money will not be distributed in the shape of dividends.
 The gross values of the metal se- cured by the property as a result of the years operations was $6,7IS, ,T23, as against s5,005,7SS in 1905. These figures include the money received from the gold and silver values.
 The slight gain in production has been a general disappointment to shareholders in the property, who are inclined to think that the slight in crease did not justify the extra ex. penditure indicated by the operating expense and improvement account.
 It is generally taken for granted that North Butte handled more ore during 1906 than it did during 1905, so that ] the report indicates that the mineral average of the company has suffered | considerable decrease
 This has been acknowledged by the officials of the company for some time past. but it was stated that the company was milling it's second class ore and that it was saving the first class ore in the stopes for the present as it could handle the second class ore to excellent advantage in the present market.
 1 This may have been a wise policy but the shareholders of North Butte have been spoiled by the early big things that was done on the property For the current year-that Is to say from March 31, 1907 to March 31, 1908, the company should make a considerably better showing, as all the obstacles that stood in the way of an increased production last year have been removed.

WARREN DISTRICT OUTPUT FUR
 TIE MONTH IF APRIL WILL
 SHOW NORMAL PRODUCTION

Notwithstanding the local labor situation. local mines for the greater part seem to be holding to their aver age in the way of output and the gross tonnage of ore to be sent to the smelters for April bids fair to very nearly equal that of March.
 The Copper Queen company is shin. ping approximately BIO tons Der day from the old slag dump and the south west dump just south of the Copper Queen store.
 The Shattuck and Denn mines. which were so badly crippled at the beginning of the strike, are working larger number of men than at any time since the strike was called and the gain at these properties seems tO DC greater than at any of the other mines where the loss of men was not so great.
 The entire district has felt the ef- feet of the strike, many men having ieft the Warren district as soon as the labor difficulty arose. But local merchants complain of little dropping on in business. A few accounts have been lost because of the departure of those who were called out at the he ginning of the trouble, but the loss is nominal and business is progressing in its usual way
 At the smaller mines on the mt skirts of the district work Is progress- Ing with Vlgor, none of the little faI- LOWS west of the divide being at all anected by the strike of the Western Federation.

 We believe the properties are the most promising copper mines in the country today and we will expend sew eral millions of dollars in developing them We have organized two com panies among ourselves to handle the properties. These companies are controlled by the same syndicate, the AIdrich is the president, I am vice president, E. P. Shove of Colorado Springs, secretary and treasurer. The directorate will be composed of Messrs. Aldrich, MacNeill. Spencer, Penrose, Phillip Wiseman, Seeley w. Mudd, Charles H. Cutting, John An non and J. G. Gordon.
 '"We expect to greatly enlarge the mill capacity and will probably event ually have a mill as large as the one wa are operating now in the Utah Copper company property. Los An geles will be our base of operations and we expect to establish he l.!cuaT- ters there. This will be convenient as the new Wickenburg cutoff on the Santa Fe will bring that section of Arizona in close touch with Los An geles."
 MacNeill, with Spencer Penrose, 8 brother of United States Senator Boies Penrone of Pennsylvania, owns the famous Utah Copper ccnpany. and for years they have been at the head of the United States Reduction & Refining company. which treats the great bulk of the ore output Of the entire Cripple Creek district.
 The mines of the Utah Copper com pany, in Bingham Canyon, Utah, are said to have 72,00o. 900 tons of copper ore in sight Jacklin has charge of this great property and he will in- augurate his system on the Arizona properties just purchased.
 Aldrich Is largely interested in the Tramp Consolidated mine at Rhyolite, and he also has large holdings in Skidoo and Schwab. He was one of the first capitalists to invest in Bull frog and the mining sections of Inyo county, California, and he has made a large fortune in the gold fields.
 MacNeill, A1drich and Jacklin are impressed with Los Angeles as mln- ing center and they are contemplating the location of a smelter in or near that city, that will be independent of all other interests.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

The strike called by the Western Federation has now been in existence for eleven days, and at the expiration of this week the companies are in a better condition, so far as the num- Der of men at work is concerned, than at any time since the strike was first called.
 The strike committee and the organizers still declare that the strike is in full force and effect, but 1t is apparent that at no time were a ma jority of the men employed in sym pathy with the strike, and out Of a possible twelve or thirteen hundred men who walked out. at least eight or mine hundred of this number have Jeff the city It is noticeable that during the past ten days there hss haen little Ior no disorder in the camp. There have been no attempts at violence, and the nearest approach to disorder has been the threats of a few hot-headed pickets. After the first few days of the strike the men who remained at work paid no attention to the argu- ments of the pickets, and as each succeeding day demonstrated that the strikers were in the minority. num- Der of men who went out on first no Itice, returned to their work and were given employment. Just what move the, union will make next Is probIe- nautical. Another meeting Is called for this evening at Pythiap Castle, and 1t is reported that a number of the members of the union will at that time and place make complaint against a continuance of the strike. It is doubtful, however, whether or not this number will be in the majority. Ii the union orders the strike continued next week win probably be a repeti ton of the last. with a falling on in the number of active pickets on duty

 Official announcement of the pur' chase of the Arizona mines WAS made by the three gentlemen in Los An gefes Monday, after their return from the properties. and fifteen minutes later MacNeill, who is multi-miilion' aire. laughingly offered to match his business associate. Jacklin, who had declared his intention of going to Los Angeles to live, to see whether Jack lin would change his mind and go to Colorado or both would make Los An geles, their future homes.
 Jacklin declined to accept the chal' Ienge. for he said he had already made his plans and would not change them.
 The taking over of the big copper properties in Arizona by MacNelll and his associates is one of the largest mining deals that has been consummated in the southwest TOT many years. Interested in the enter prise are a number of the stockhold' CTS of the American Smelling & Re. lining company, the chief owners ol the utah Copper company; several of the officers of the United States Reduction & Refining company A, Chester Beatty, chef engineer of the Guggenheim Exploration company William P.

PROSPECTORS GO
 TO RICH STRIKE

PRESCOTT. April 1s.-Since the discovery of a three-foot pay streak of ore sampling se4.4z to the ton in gold. on the Promoter claim, in the Crook Canyon district, Friday. there has been a large influx of prospecrors and miners into that section, eager to locate extensions of the claim where the strike was made or anxious to secure any vacant ground in its immediate vicinity. However. all were disappointed, as the vein had been covered by locations by the owners of the Promoter and their immediate friends immediately after the r1cn ore body was uncovered, and befroe news of the rich strike spread to other parts.
 The Promoter claim Is owned by Mrs. B. F. Peters and Mrs. c. K. War ren and the ore was found in 6 tun. nel being driven along the vein into the mountain only sixteen feet from

the mouth of the opening, and scarce " that depth from the apex of the ledge. The tunnel is being pushed as fast as two shifts can drive 1t and the latest advices from there indf- cate that the ore body Is improving ID width as well as holding its val ues. The claim is located on the same ledge as that being developed by the Juanita Mining Company. and only about 1900 feet from the com pany's holdings.
 The discovery of the ore body sur prised the owners as wen as their husbands who are stockholders and officers of the Juanita Mining Com pany. It was considered of value more from its proximity to the com pany's group rather than from it's prospective ore deposits. The rich discovery was made by miner doing the annual assessment work in the tunnel started when the location was first made.

But little can be said of this property until it has determined what its sur face croppings show with depth. The management has great hopes, but they are giving out nothing until they are possessed of actual knowledge of the values at their command. It is their intention to push development work along the most approved and econom- lcal lines with view to making of the North Bisbee producer that will pay.

STOCKS EFFECTED,

Following on the heels of the pan. icky condition of the Eastern money market, the local labor disturbances
 have had 2 depressing effect upon the local curb stocks. There has been noticeable absence of buyers in the market and recognized good invest ments are passed by for lack of suf- ticient capital. A number of local in Yestors were hit hard in the slump in $. & P, Greene Cananea- and Denn, not to mention the smaller issues. and were required by the brokers to put up heavy additional margins fn re- sponse to call for more money from the east. Stock speculation in Bis bee Is at low ebb at the present time, and business men in particular are guarding their surplus cash as pre- caution against abnormally dull times as consequence Of the present local conditions. In all probability we are approaching the duliest summer sea son on the stock board in the history 'of the district.
