MINING ENGINEER ON
 TIE COPPER MAUKET
j. Magon Clements Looks For a Raise To Around t5 or
 16 Cents Soon.

PHOENIX, Feb 10.-Taat copper will soon land somewhere around 15 to 16 cents and stay there is the op- inion of J. Morgan Clements, who is prominent mining engineer with offices at New York who has been in Phoenix for a Few days. Mir Clements left last night for Mexico on mining business. He believed that, from the fact that certain interests were get ting a hold of the copper production of the country, and would be able to establish stable conditions and a sra- ble price in the copper market, that will be highly beneficial to the coun- try in general.
 1t was acknowledged that copper was too high at 25 cents. The break was bound tc come as it did. Now in the event that the copper output is con uolled by a Few strong financial inter ests, there would not be again seen the uneven cutting-off of operations with hundreds of men thrown out of work in one place, while other camps were little affected On the other hand any per cent of decrease would be evenly distributed among all the cop per camps in the country and none would be hurt to any extent This MT. Clements thought would be one of the main benefits of the changed condi- tions. Asked how this would affect the little fellows, he said that a mine could produce 50 tons as eheaply per ton as another producing 1000 tons it would survive, otherwise it was a plain business proposition as to what the outcome would be.
 There is a reviving activity among the copper buying interests now. The time of depression is when they are looking around for bargains which will be snapped up, and investors are coming this way in goodly numbers. He believed that Arizona would keep the lead in copper production over Montana and Michigan and that some of the mineral regions of the territory have only been scratched. New lines of railway have opened up vast store houses of copper deposits, Tor the man who has the nerve and money to go after it. One of the things which will encourage men to make substantial investments in mines and equipments, will be the establishment of a stable price for the metal and control which will prevent recur- rences of bad conditions, that give camps the black eye for months and sometimes for years. Out ot the cop per troubles, therefore, he saw good to come in the end, though as he re- marked the promoters are dead sore.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Honey Boy Minstrels.

Birmingham has never seen better minstrel show than the performance given at the Jefferson theatre last night by the Cohan and Harris troop headed by inim- itable George Evans, a comedian who is funny all the time. It would not be exaggerating the facts in the case to say that this organization is the strong est that has ever been brought to the south en tour. The company belongs in class apart from the usual min
 strel aggregation, both in the point of
 numbers and in the ability of its in dividual members. The list of stars is
 imposing when one considers the sal aries they have drawn in vaudeville and
 with good reason by the management, that the "Honey Boy'' minstrels form the highest priced minstrel show that has
 ever been put before the public.
 At any rate the performance last night
 was delight from beginning to end. There were no weak spots and the in- terest was not permitted to flag for
 moment. The entertainment provided was
 varied but in every particular it seemed
 to be just right and several of the fea- lures were far and away from any acts of the kind ever seen here before. George Evans is a whole show by himself Com edy exudes from his person and his talk fairly sparkles with fun. His monologue
 ushered in the principal festivities of the evening following the first part or opening and for about 2J minutes he
 kept the house rocking with laughter. Theatregoers who remembered MT. Ev
 ans visit to Birmingham several sea- sons ago in "The Runaways" were pre- pared to laugh at his witticisms last night and they were not denied the op- portunity Tn tfA last part of the per formance, while taking the part of
 cheap bootblack masquerading a rich
 negro gambler from Baltimore. MT. Ev-
 ans presented typical figure of the
 "cullud race" that was a treat to be- hold
 The honors of the performance were also plentifully bestowed on Julian FL tinge a young college man who leaped
 into fame a few years ago as an imper
 senator of women and has achieved an international reputation. The average fe-
 male impersonator is disgusting beyond words but Eltinge is a revelation. His | cleverness must be seen to be appre- | ciated. Nothing apparently is too diffi-
 cult for him to attempt, from bathing | girl to Salome and the Gibson girl, and | in every instance he is startling. An
 other star whose work elicited well de-
 served applause was Eddie Leonard, who.
 sings a song in a fashion all his own and dances in way to leave one guess 1 ing. Both he and Mir. Eltinge were the
 recipients of frequent encores and their l singing and dancing contributed In no ! small measure to the success of the per- l formance.

Board of Trade Reoroanized.

The Board of Trade met tonight at Rebie hall at o'clock for the purpose of recognizing and electing officers for the ensuing year. The hall was crowd ed with enthused members and a rousing good meeting was held. The following officers were elected: Capt. H. W. Crook president; w. w. HoIlingsworth, first vice president; Mayor w. B. Lanier of Brighton, third vice president, and ". P. Gum, secretary.
 The membership committee was urged to go out amongst the people and get busy. President Stevenson of the old board submitted elaborate reports of work done enumerating several new in dustries secured. Captain Crook made a strong speech, urging united effort in this work. On motion of w. S. Gilbert, a committee of three is to be appointed to take up the VanHoose canal proposi- ton. It was the sense of the meeting to give Birmingham hearty cooperation in any movement made that would benefit this district.

There was at times all the grace and color of comic opera, while the music was fully up to the high stan dard maintained throughout the perform ance.
 Two extremely good vaudeville acts were presented by Waterbury Brothers and Penney in musical conception and by Rice and Provost who gave capital acrobatic speciality, with plenty of com edy and superb tumbling. The concluding act was entitled 'The Belle of the Ball. - an absurdity perpetrated by George M. Conan and carried to a bowling sue cess by George Evans Julian Eltinge and the company. Tn this part of the performance was introduced much of the color in costume and ensemble which distinguished the show.
