WRANGLE OVER
COPPER PRICE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION OF
GRAHAM COUNTY WILL HAVE
TO DECIDE WHAT WAS AVER
AGE PRICE PAID DURING YEAR.

Stafford, June 4.-The Board Of
Supervisors, meeting as board of
equalization, began their annual ses.
sion Wednesday and will probably get
through Monday, as very few changes
are anticipated in the assessment roll.
The only matter of consequence, so far
as known, coming before them, being
the fixing of the average price of cop.
per. 1t seems that the companies have
returned the average price at.l95392
cents per pound. The assessor has TAX
en- the ground that the average price
is .20004 cents per pound. The differ
cnce between the companies and the
assessor will readily be seen to be less
than one-half cent per pound, appar-
emily small amount, but when 1t is
taken into consideration that on the
gross it amounts to about 100000, Or
$4,000 assessable property, it matter
for serious consideration.
Assessor Birdno states that the roll
will be between one.half and three.
quarters of a million dollars higher
this year than last, making the total
assessed value of the county about
$S,500,000. The assessor reports school
and personal property tax collections
to be over $4,000.

TMNE.S, MINING and the MARKETS
BUSINESS SHOWS
BUT LITTLE GAIN
June Was a Disappointing Month
Early Predictions Of Betterment
Were Not Fulfilled.

NEW YORK, July A retrospect
of business conditions and developments
| during the month of June shows very
clearly that the early predictions of a
general trade revival have not been
verified, but that, to the contrary. there
has been further slight recession in
some industries, and holting in others,
which is ascribed to the uncertain crop
outlook and to political considerations
Dizziness in the copper industry has
been pronounced and prices for the
metal have reeeded about half cent
per pound. Large producers and selling
agencies claim that they are Offering no
copper for sale below IL cents for Lake
and 1915 for electrolytic, but there
seems to be no doubt that these prices
are being shaded Exports of copper
have been fairly large, but there is
no Improvement in the home demand
and no disposition among consumers to
contract copper for future delivery, the
opinion seeming to prevail that there
will be no advance in copper prices in
the next two or three months.
The leading Wall street authorities
look for general business to continue
quiet until after the election. The opin.
ion is still expressed that the attempt
of the United States Steel Corporation
to hold up the price of steel products
is doing more than anything else TO re-
tard business improvement. The claim
is made that this corporation has not
met the present conditions in a way to
inspire confidence or to stimulate de.
mand, and that unless radical cut is
made in prices the consumers will not
buy and builders will not make con.
tracts which they would be willing TO
enter into if they could buy their ma.
terial on a lower basis.
There has been some readjustment of
wages in the steel industry, and this is
expected to be followed by reduction
in the wages of railroad employees. par
ticularly if earnings continue to de.
crease, The railroads have made every
effort to maintain their wage schedules,
not only from desire to maintain their
operating efficiency, but 10 prevent the
unfavorable political effect that such a
readjustment would undoubtedly exer-
else, and no reductions are likely TO be
made until October if at all
Politics is disturbing factor and
will probably continue to exert de-
pressing influence until after the No
veinber election.
Leading banking interests believe the
large volume of unemployed money
throughout the country will begin to
find Judgment in securities as soon as
the public is able to arrive at better
judgment regarding crop prospects. All
those who have been following the crop
situation closely are entirely satisfied
with the outlook and it is believed that
when the public, also, becomes con-
WINGED that this years returns from
the products of the soil will be well

SOUTHWESTERN
DEVELOPMENT CO.
ITS MINING PROPERTY IN THE
CATALINAs EXAMINED BY DIR.
L. D. RIcKETTs--MoHAvE GOLD
MINES FIND BUYERS.

DR.. l.. ID. Ricketts,, general manager
of the Greene Cananea company, was
in Tucson on Wednesday on his way to
the mining property of the Southwest.
ern Development company, situated in
the Catalina mountains, which he was
to examine and report upon.
The mines are located on the north
side of the Catalinas, and to reach
them it is necessary to 60 by way
of Oracle. Considerable development
work has been done on them with sew
eral unusually rich strikes re t,rted,
says the Tucson Citizen. The proper
ties include the Leatherwood, Stratton
and Giessen groups, which adjoin each
other, and from which the original own
ers made number of ore shipments on
, small scale.
1t is not known for whom DIR. Rick
etts is making the examination.
Sale of Gold Mines.
"Mohave county has some of the
greatest gold mines in the world, with.
in its confines said Attorney Ginder
of Kingman, TO q Journal Miner repre-
sentative. "Among the largest trans.
actions there recently is the passing
of the title to the Holy Moses mine
under bond to 4 Los Angeles syndicate,
the consideration being $265,000, 49,.
500 of which has been paid to the own
err, a Mr.. Mckesson. McKesson dis
covered the property, seven miles west
of Kingman, along the main line of
the Santa Fe, three months ago. Al
though the deepest shaft on the ground
is only eighty feet, the property is said
to be the most promising gold property
in the territory by mining experts who
have spent days in its examination.
Negotiations were closed yesterday
for the sale of the Gold Pass mine TO
Los Angeles syndicate for large
amount. The mine is the property of
y. A. Richardson and his associates.
1t is located near Gold Roads. Veins of
ore several feet in thickness sample
from $50 to $50 to the ton in gold.
Stamp Mill for Emporia.
The New York purchasers of the EN-
poria group of claims are so encouraged
by recent developments that they are
now considering the erection of ten
stamp mill on the property.
The new working shaft is down As

ed and it is the intention of the man.
agcment to sink several hundred feet
and open levels 100 feet apart.
The Emporia group of ten claims is
located seven miles south of Prescott
on the Prescott and Senator stage road.
The Emporia claim, one of the princi.
pal locations of the group, has good
record in gold production, although it
was never opened to any considerable
depth. There is a mill site with never
failing water supply covered by the To-
cations of the group, and the develop
ment of the ledge to greater depth is
expected to furnish enough water to
supply fair sized reduction plant.
