4 GOOD SHOWING
 AT ANNUAL MEETING
New York-ArizOna Gold & Cop per Company Re- elect Old
 Officers at Meeting, 

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the New York-Arizona Gold and Copper O., was held in Morenci Wednesday afternoon April 18th, when no more than three-fourth of all issued stock was represented III per son and by proxy.
 Only one change was made in the personnel of the Board of Directors, D. M. Cansler. assuming the place of w. J. Davidson.
 The officers elected were A. l.. Work, president, J. F. Cleaveland, vice-president, John c. Molder, gen. eral manager, and Herman J. Dege- mar, secretary and treasurer. The most important plan discussed Tor the erection of a 50 ton stamp mill to handle the ore of the gold property of the company. This will be pushed Co completion in the very near future and it is only a short time until the New York-Arizona will assume the ranks of the dividend payers of the district
 Only one third of the original treas ury stock has been issued. which in itself shows the conservatism of the management, ane with the two thirds still remaining in the treasury and prospects for the necessity of onIy using a small portion of this in the future, this company shows it's stock to be one of the safest investments

HOLIDAY HURTS STOCK PRICES
 ON ALL SIDES
There Are Plenty of Chances Just at the Present Time for investments That Will Give Big Returns in the Future.

As is always the case in a week broken by holidays, we have Ihis week witnessed a very dull aud un. interesting market for the copper shares. Prices have held up well in most cases. but the transactions have been limited throughout. The most active issue has been Amalga- mated, but most of the transactions in this stock have represented the operations of the arbitrage brokers. there being no apparent public in- ;terest in it.
 While it is fair to blame the short week for this lack of interest, it is no doubt true that the real cause of the slack demand for coppers is to be found in the weakness in the metal market at the moment and the prob ability that there will he no import ant improvement for some time.
 There isn't much money for most of the companies in producing cop per to market at current prices. and until the public feels that good prof its are assured they cannot be eA pected to play an important part on the long side of the market.
 There are some coppers, however, such as Utah Consolidated, Calumet 6 Arizona and a few others thatcan produce copper for less than half the present selling price of the metal, but these stocks are being overlooked. Tine Utah Consolidated, for instance, can produce copper for less than 5 cents pound, and still there scent to be no public interest in the stock. The only buyers at the moment are the insiders who understand the pos abilities of the company, and this stock is being put away for long pull
 This is always the way it goes the insiders pick up the bargains and the public with every facility for securing the necessary information holds back and never comes in to any great extent until the best part of the movements are over.
 If an investor would only lock around at the present time he would find plenty or chances for safe in- yestment iE this class of stocks and the profits that will accrue during the next year would well repay him for his patience.
 The brokers-on the other hand, quote the market as easy, on account of the copper now offered for sale by secondhand interests. The amount of this storage copper is very limited, however.
 The position of the consumer is also unchanged, no effort being made to secure metal, as they see no i'm mediate necessity for ordering fresh supplies It all seems to depend on general trade conditions which, it must be admitted, are not very fav- orable at the moment. It must be borne in mind. however. that as the copper trade was the first to feel the effects of the depression, it will un- doubtedly be the first to feel the ef fleets of any revival.

cLlFToN-MoRENcI DISTRICT.

lCOpper ETaJ
 The Clifton-Morenci mining dis frict iast month shipped out about s.eOe. .06O pounds of Bessemer copper to the eastern reEneries, which is moi a bad showing by any means, eonsid- erins the fact that most copper min ing caurEs are far behind their normal output. Ever since the slump in the price of copper other camps have 5tleen falling by the Wayside, while iH the Clifton Morenci district the com panies have in reality increased their outputs. Few of the smaller compzr- ies ceased operations during the pan ic and these have resumed operations again. This district is one of the oldest in Arizona and while 1t has not made much fuss to the outside world. it has been busy the past thTr- ty wears developing copper mines and shipping the req metal until today 1t ss one of the leading producers of the territory. Only one other district B;sbee- leads this district in produe- fion and the time is drawing near when Clifton will take the lead. We have continued to advance to the front by leaps and DoisnCs and the three big companies, the Shannon. Ar fzona and Detroit. are exevting their best energies to make record m production for 1908 that will astonisn Arizona. as well as the world.

ever put on the local market. Gener- al Manager MoldeT' report to the di- rectors shows S3O0,000 worth of gold, silver and copper ore on the dump and blocked out He says:
 The Lillian tunnel is now in about 100 feet, at about 500 feet a high grade ore of silver glance was en- countered upon which we are sinking at present, being down 26 feet and at the same time, driving ahead with the tunnel.
 We propose during the coming year to push the Lillian tunnel ahead to connect with the ore bodies under the Buzzard shadow hill and ias s,. doing pass under the Williams Snan adn Black Slaft, which Aas be@ de- velcped enough to prove the values are going down with excellent sur face showings.
 We propose to sink the shaft now under way OF the silver glance ore. which is now 220 feet from the sur face to a depth of 800 feet and Tor this work a gasoline hoist has been ordered"

ings will be permitted to fill with water.
 What the future has in store for the Butte & London Is problematical. It started out as one of the best f. nanced among the new companies and continued work longer than many of them. It was the original inten, tion to sink the shaft at least 1,500 feet deep before doing any crosscut ting and exploration work, but sink ing was rather slow and the finan- cial crash caught the company when the shaft was but HOO feet deep.
 It was then decided to explore the veins at that depth in the hope of finding commercial ore. Half a dozen good veins were cut and drifting was done on two of them. They were opened to a considerable extent and punches of ore, assaying well in cop per and silver, were found, but it be- came evident that not sufficient depth had been attained, and that 500 or more feet additional were necessary to get down to commercial ore. The treasury had become exhausted, sey- eraf efforts to raise funds by the sale of treasury stock were unsuc- cessful and a complete shutdown be- came necessary.
 The company has been under the management of some of the most energetic operators in the Butte dis tTict, and their disappointment in not being able to continue work is very keen. Mining men generally are of the opinion that the Butte & London will develop a big copper producing mine some day. The company has no debts and owns it's ground outright, more than 100 acres. It has the best surface plant and equipment of any of the new companies. and it's shaft. a large three-compartment affair. is one of the best in the whole district There is evidently no prospect of an early resumption of work, but the company has lot of stock remain ing in the treasury, and when the financial conditions of the country improve it will probably have no trouble in raising more money
 PiIot-6utte.
 Preparations are being made to re sume work on the Pilot-Butte claim by the PilotButte Copper company owned chiefly by Milwaukee capital ists The latter also felt the financial squeeze and a suspension of work was ordered about a month ago.
 The Pilot claim is located in the North Butte district and among big mines. It adjOins the Elm Orlu mine, from which W. 4. Clark is mining a lot of rich silver-copper ore. Several good stringers of ore have been cut in the shaft of the Pilot.

LOCAL MINING
 FEATURELESS
 DUR|NG WEEK
Warren District Companies De- voting Activity to ExpIora- ton and Development Work At the Shelters.

The local mining situation during the past week was again featnreless, there being very little change in the metal market although it had been expected that there would be a ma terial betteruent in the quu,en price. Because of the coa1inued de precision the various local companies are still deYoting a great deal of at tention to exploration and develop menI work
 The new Copper Queen <-ower house will soon be ready to go into commission, and work is being rushed on the underground part of the new system, so that the boisting of ore can be done by the new method about dhe same time that the power plant will be in operation

AT THE SHELTERS.

At the smelters Of the district, To- ceated at Douglas, there has been notn- ing of special interest during the pres ent week. Construction work is be ing pushed at the Calumet and Ari- zona along the lines planned long. ago and which contemplate doubling the capacity of this reduction plant. It is expected that a new 500-ton TUT mace will be ready to put into com misssion during the month of July.
 At the Copper Queen one of the furnaces was coolsd this week, leav- ing only seven in commission. The reason given for shutting down this furnace was that the sconserteTs had been unable to handle the matte as fast as it was received from the fur naces and one was put out of commis- sion until the conEerters could handle the accumulated surplus of matte. It is stated that the eighth furnace will be soon set to work again.

HAcHfTA GOLD FIELD.

It is expected that the first ship ment or ore from the Hachita gold field will arrive at the Copper Queen smelter during the next week or ten days. This ore has been taken from the Gold Hill property, owned by NJ hart, Martin, Neer and others or Douglas. MT. NihArt returned from the property early in the week for the purpose of securing burro pack train to carry the ore from the mine to the foot of the mountain where T will be loaded on wagons and hauled to Hachita station on the Southwest sern railroad. Mining men who have visited the Hachita district all agree that the Gold Hill is the best showing yet made in that new district. As says of ore taken at various stages or the development work justify the be- lief that this first car of ore will run near $l00 per ton One or two other claims are being developed in the VT .cinity of the Gold Hin and, besides, several parties are making from SiO to sI5 per day dry washing the placer dirt taken from the small Sulches coming down the mountain side.
 Parties arriving from the Paradise district say that the development ma ,chinery recently received at the Say age mine is being put up. This con -sists of an electric hoist and two com pFessor drills. A force of some six teen men is at work on the Savage and this is the largest force main tafned on any property in the ChirE
 cahuas at the present time. In the Paradise district there are several property owners now engaged in do- ing their annual work. Nothing has been heard recently as to the inten- tions of the owners of the properties which were formerly under develop ment by the Chiricahua Development company.

BUTTE MINES ARE GREATER
 THAN IN PAST
John D. Ryan in Public Speech Says End of Mining Prosper ity in Butte Country Is Long Way Off.

BUTTE, MONT, April 25.-"The Butte mines today are greater than they ever were, and give better promise for the future than they have at any time in 25 years" said John D. Ryan, managing director of the Amalgamated company, in a pub lie speech last week. There is just as good ore, and ore just as rich as at any day in Butte's history. No man living will see the end of Butte's mining prosperity or the end of dividends from the big copper mines"
 MT. Ryan has repeated his state ment that the companies are produe- ing copper as cheaply as it can be produced anywhere in the wOrfvs. He admitted that certain mines else where can market copper at a lower cost than some Butte mines incur. because of the high percentage of gold and silver in the ore, but again Butte can offset them with other mines that can produce equally as low, while the average cost of pro duction in Butte is as low as it is anywhere in the world.
 in addition to the great bodies of high grade ore opened in the mines. there are millions and millions of tons of low grade that can be mined at a profit at the prevailing prices of copper, while a few years ago the ore could not be touched. Every few years new facilities for mining and smelting copper ore are intro duced, and lower and lower grades of ore are mined at a profit. This will go on for 25 years, and indefi- nitely thereafter, and no man living will see the day when the Butte com panies will not be having big divi-

reason 10 believe that the above pre- ditcioR will materialize, should tae price of copper advance to 16 cents or better. Tne Arizona Copper com pany is preparing to improve its smelter. It is at present producing about 1500 tons per month. which
 no doubt vii be increased to 2o00. The Detroit company at Morenci is producing about 1000 tons monthly, with a plant that is capable of pro dueing 1500 tons The shannon is producing about 500 tons monthly with q plant that has a capacity of better than 100 tons. Hence it will panies are working to their full ca pacity. They are simply waiting for a more profitable price. Each com pany has excellent ore reserves and are in position to make the increase at a moments notice. There are sev- eral smaller copper companies operat- ing in the district and the prospects are good for another smelter in the not far distant future. In addition 10 tae copper industries, we have several gold prospects in the district whica will eventually assume the position of dividend payers, judging from the large amount of milling ore that Is being developed. Negotiations are now being made for the erection of at least two and possibly three gold mills, any one of which will be a drawing card for the district In fact
 L.1uonzMorenci is bound to be the
 most important mining district in the territory. It offers better opportuni ties Tor mining investments than any other district and there are hundreds of good prospects awaiting the capi- tai which it will take to develop them. In fine face of the many big mines of the district, it is a known fact that this country is practically undeyel oped. What the three big companies are doing others can de if they are prepared to furnish capital for devel- opment purposes.

vEMIRE FOR JURORS
ONE HUNDRED rALEsMEN SUM.
MoNEo, MOSTLY FARMERS =
AND RANcHMEN.

Grand Junction. Colo.-Crowds OF
curious people thronged the District
Court room Monday morning when the
trial of Steve Adams for murder be-
gan. Most OF the people seemed con-
tent when they had secured a glimpse
OF the prisoner, who Is charged with
killing Arthur Collins, mine manager.
at Telluride, five years ago. The day
was taken up entirely with technical
matters, and no material progress was
made beyond the denial of dilatory mo-
tons from the defense.
The first business was the issuance
OF a special venire for 100 men to act
AS jurors. The list is taken mostly
from farmers and ranchmen OF the
county, is returnable Monday, June
29th, and will keep the sheriff and his
deputies busy with the serving until
late Saturday. The case WILL there
fore. not really come up before Mon
day morning. when the talesmen ap.
pear In court.
Attorney Ralph Esteb, leading coun-
sci for the defense. took the expected
action today when he contested the
right of II. NJ. Hogg. former congress
man, to appear for the state. Mr. Es-
teb maintained that Hogg had not been
employed by the commissioners OF San
Miguel county, but by private interests
which were prosecuting Adams. and
therefore had no right to appear as one
OF the attorneys for the people.
Judge Shackleford overruled the OBJ
lection and Mr.. Hogg will remain as
one OF the states counsel
The defense objected to the placing
OF new names on the list of witnesses
for the state. but the objection was
overruled.
Aside from Mrs. Adams and some
women friends. who sat with her, no
women were In the court room.
Charles F. Meyer. president OF the
Western Federation Of Miners. Will
liam Easterly. one OF those implicated
by the confession OF Harry Orchard.
and Buckley Wells, chief witness for
the prosecution. were among those In
the court room.
The Indications are that some time
will be taken up in securing jury.
but the trial will proceed rapidly after
the box is filled. Attorneys for both
sides declare that the trial will be
rushed. and that no dilatory tactics OF
any kind will be attempted by either.
