ARIZONA MINES

The most sensational news in the mining world of Arizona during the past week. has been the fires in the Warren district mines which were re- ported early in the week. There seemed tc be q great deal of mystery in connection with them at first for the results when first noted were noN- ious gases rather than smoke or flame. though from later issues of the Bisbee papers it appears that in one shaft at least. the Shattuck. the flames were visible for a time and an immense vol ume of smoke proceeded from below.
 That the general reader not ac- uuainted with the district may have a better understanding. it should be said that the Copper Queen, the Calumet 6 Trizona. the Shattuck and other big mines are situated along in row and that several of them. at least the three named. are all connected by their underground workings, so one may | travel two or three miles below ground in practically a straight line, or in the same general direction.
 The gases and smoke were noted in | the Irish Mag shaft of the C. & A. and | in the Gardiner and Spray shafts of the | Copper Queen. a big fire were seen to issue from the Shattuck. The miners who sought to relieve the situation ] found gas their worst enemy and to date tine best explanation gwen by the | Bisbee papers is that the gases issue : from supposed fire in the timber' of some of the abandoned workings ignited spontaneously.
 { The latest papers say the work oi fighting this fire is proceeding quite satisfactorily and there seems to b' no fear that it will spread to any one of the large unworked sulphide bodie: of copper ore.

WORK WILL CONTINUE
 AT THE HELvETIA MINE
The Copper World Claim Shows Con ditions that Offset Market
 Embarrassments

It has ben authentically stated that operations at He,vetia wi,, be rushed as much as possible. the recent devel opment having brought to light condi- tions which warrant most active work says the Tucson Citizen.
 Since Copper began to decline in price there has been a rumor afloat
 that Helvetia had closed down, but this is without foundation and it is stated that the directors have never
 entertained. for a moment, the idea
 of closing down.
 During the past three months. sev-
 eral prominent mining engineers have
 visited Helvetia and reported that the claim known as the Copper World. not only has much ore blocked out. but has the indications of possessing large ore bodies.
 The property will be developed as rapidly ass possible and all under concentrated at his mine, until it iss thoroughly developed after which time other parts will be operated. Under the management of oscar Rohn as general manager and W. C. Steubing as general superintendent. the property Is being operated In an eco- nomical manner. Wages were reduced oct. 15 to to the prevailing scale and
 expenses generally have been reduced i 90 per cent All surface and other
 work not absolutely necessary at pres
 ent have been dispensed with. so that the work now in progress will be con-
 centrated. unhampered.
 The general conditions at Helvetia
 were never so encouraging as at the present timeN The funds in the treas
 ury are sufficient to carry on opera tions for about 15 months. Moreover ' there is large quantity of high grade
 ore ready to be shipped as soon as the price of copper warrants such action.

put, and they will both be put in op- eration before the end of the present year. At the same time the pig iron capacity of the Ensley stacks is also to be doubled by the reconstruction of the entire Ensley group. The com pany's pig iron production last year was 641,Ss7 tons. New slopes are to be opened on Red Mountain and an additional dolomite quarry is to be worked at Ketona. Seven new wash CTS are to be put in, and new coal mines are to be opened, and the coking capacity Is to be steadily maintained.
 The company's position both in re- gard to fuel and to ore was strength ened during the year 1906 until it stands in raw materials "second to only one in the world, and is far in advance of any other iron or steel pro- ducer in cost of assembling It's raw materials for manufacture" The com, pany has, as computed by competent authorities, seven hundred million tons of ore and two billion tons of fuel.
 The average number of men em- ployed last year was 1857, to whom was paid $7291, ,43o in salaries and wages.
 These facts are but facts of the com pany in an undeveloped condition. They point, however, to gross sales and net profits in the future, when the development plans are fairly wrought out that will be satisfactory to their owner stockholders and that will at the same time be a great credit to this district. The two companies are now on an investment basis, the speculative features having been eliminated, and It Is but matter of time when the possibilities of our ore seams aud coal deposits will be made known to all men. The weight of the task falls on the men who control the Tennessee company, and they are wholly equal to its execution on a fine-cut, business like scale.

Alabama at Jamestown

The appointment of Mir. Malone as state agent in the place of J. B. Ward, who resigned to become probate judge Of his county, comes promptly, and it IS to be hoped that the new agent will begin to assemble as rapidly as possi- ble the Alabama exhibit. The state appropriated for that purpose $25,000, and the commissioners and the state agent should push the work along as speedily as circumstances will permit.
 The managers of the Jamestown ex- position say that exhibits should be in place by May 15, and 1t is feared that the Alabama exhibit will not be forth coming at that time. The attendance at the exposition is to be very large, and the chance to advertise there the resources and products of Alabama should not be neglected An unusual effort should be made to gather cred itable exhibit, and to forward 1t with the least possible delay to the exposi- ton. The placing of it there after it's transportation, especially if Vulcan Is to be part of it. is no light task. A big effort is needed just at present, and all who can aid in any way should get busy.

May Weather in the Fields

All sections in the cotton belt have received plenty of moisture, and they are all getting at present a germinat- ing temperature, which will no doubt be hereafter maintained. These con- ditions, together with the replanting efforts here and there, will speedily lift the cotton fields up to normal. The early and favorable start in March was lost in April's unduly cool weather, but May will, let us hope, overcome all checks and drawbackc, and a normal start will be established Anything better than normal should not how ever, be expected. April dissipated all bright dreams of a record-breaking crop, and normal start, with an aver age crop at the end of the season, is all we have good grounds to expect. Warm weather and plenty of moisture are needed to guarantee even that much.
 In the corn fields like conditions exist. The rains and the favorable weather are bringing the corn rows into sight, and liberal crop may yet be made May can make good the losses incurred in germination in April, and the chances are that May will accomplish that task. That Is what the busy germinating month ordinarily does, and the opening day of the month this year promises to be warm and moist. Warmth and moisture are the chief needs of our farmers in May.
