MINNIE HEALY FIRE IS SERIOUS
May Result in Great CurtaiI- nnent of Production in the
 District,

Boston--The fire now raging in the Minnie Healy mine of the Butte Coal ition Co, which has necessitated the closing down of the Minnie Heaiy and the West Colusa and the Leonard properties. the latter two belonging to the Boston & Montana Co.,, is ike ly to prove a very serious affair.
 The Minnie Healy, the West Colusa and the Leonard are three of the great copper mines of Butte. They are all working on one ore body or branches of one ore body. The fire is believed to have orisen from srcn- taneous combustion, and. once started in the sulphur ores, it is likely to burn on indefinitely.
 It is believed that the rich Ore chute worked by these mines is the crater of an extinct volcano and the heart of the Butte district, and the effects of this fire may prove more se- rious than the outside world has dreamed of. It is also something of which copper producers should take notice. The only offset in the Butte camp to the necessary loss of pro duction occdsioned by the shutdown of these three properties is to be found in the lower levels of the Ana conda. where the rich ore oeEween the 22O0 and the 2400-foot levels IS yet to be extracted.

MARKET HAS hOT
 BEEN SOLD DEF
Therefore Lower Prices May Be Expected in the Eastern
 Markets,
(By Frank J. Graf.)

' Today's market continues to show liquidation, but is not so extensive as the last few days past. It Is evident that the market has not been sold off, and that lower prices might be expected, especially in the eastern markets. Copper shares took on lit- tie strength, but are inclined to be- lieve short interests has caused it. The local market naturally follows the eastern markets, consequently our stocks are weak and without demand Calumet & Arizona gained strength today, but at the close shows little weakness with $155.00 bid. Superior & Pittsburg has been in good demand and closed firm. There has been great demand for Butte & Arizona within the last few days, sales being made at 70 cents. This stock sold at s3.25 several months ago. It has been stated on good authority that the property is looking first class. Denn Arizona is in fair demand at S9.25, al though in small lots. One should be able to realize handsome profits on the present prices of stocks.

ARIZONA LEADS IN COPPER
 OUTPUT
Shows Big Increase Both in Actual Production and Per centage of Increase During Five Years Past.

Boston--If the estimated decrease of 2. 5S5,OOO pounds in the copper production of this country for the first six months of the cufrert year, as compared to the first six months of last year. should be daplica.ed the last half of the year. a SacsIlge of 45 0O0,OO0 pounds would cOnfroLt con sumers of this metal.Sdcn shr'akage should cut some figure in regulating the price of refined copper. The Lake Superior district has kept up it's repu- tation for an Increase the first half of this year in an increase of SC per cent over the showing for the first half of last year. but the falling off in other sections rolls up the total given above.
 The aggregate output oi the trium- virate of copper producing states Michigan, Montana and Arizona-has shown steady incraese in the last five years. The largest actual in crease of LIST ,492 pounds in this period was made by Arizona this state also leads in the percentage of increase at 100.7. The nearest ap- proach of any state to this doubling of production figures Was maoe ny Michigan. with an increase of less than 50 per cent.
 These three states produced I!5,' 747, $50 pounds of the total of Je6,- 591 .947 pounds of refined copper pro duced in the United States last year or S5.5 per cent Th's percentage ap- pluximates that of 1901 which was S5.7.
 Montana produced less last YrST than in any year except 1903 since 1901: Michigan's output has increased each year over the preceding without exception since 191l; with the eX' ception of the year 1902 Arizona has done likewise.
