CONSUMERSAYS COPpERSUPPLY
 WILLBE AMPLE
Declares There Is No Cause for Anxiety and Points to lm- menSe Production From Va riOus Mines.

BOSTON, March 2S.-One of the largest consumers of copper in this country says:
 "l fail to see any cause for anxiety il the matter of securing copper sup plies, now that the Amalgamated mines nave reopened. Within a very short time the mines of this country, including Canada and Mexico, will be producing very near to their full ca pacity which will mean a total output at the rate of 100000 pounds per annum. Roughly speaking we may apportion this production as follows:
 United States production, 1,000,- 100000 pounds.
 Canada aad Mexico. zoO.OOO,OOS pounds.
 Total exports, 45O,OOO,O 900 pounds.
 Remaining for home consumption, O,OO0, 900 pounds.
 Or per month. 62,0O0,0O0 pounds.
 "In the above estimates take no account of the predicted increase of 25,000, 900 pounds of new copper supplies to come from the new low cost producers of Utah and Nevada, the inclusion of which would add 10,000,000 pounds per month to the argument, these new copper suppnes may be regarded as an offset to any possible exaggeration (which do not admitl in the above table.
 "Itis only intimes of exceptional business activity that anything like 60,000,000 pounds of copper can bs consumed in this country. Certainly at present we are not consuminS mere than 40 per cent Of this amoU nt- The conclusion is inevitable that to- day we are producing more copper than we are consuming and therefore I am not in the least disturbed nv the fact that the price will suddenly rise to such a figure as will prevent the purchase of supplies at reasono- ble quotations when the copper is needed At the moment, however, I am frank to admit that the market is held firmly by the larger selling f2- terests at 13 cents per pound.
 There has been some improve ment in the market for the smaller sizes of brass and copper goods, and I am hopeful that it will expand and reach into the products calling for a larger copper consumption, but it is only reasonable to expect that after the terrific onslaught to which the industries of this country have been submitted, the recovery must be slow and gradual.
 There has been no large buying of copper since March a year ago, and manufacturers, therefore, must be carrying very light stocks of raw material We are buying in relatively small amounts, and shall doubtless continue to do so until the market for goods gives evidence Of greater expansion than is at pres ent diseernable

FINAL COUNTY kllfaEs.


 w. l.. Lander, vice president of the Newberry Mining company, which has p claims in Superstition mountain in the Pioneer district, Pinal county, ana located four miles from Coch- ran station on the P. & E. railroad, is in the city fer few days on min ing business and will leave shortly for Poston and other eastern points to make purchases of machinery for the mine He reports that the work on the claims is showing up a fine grade of ore and there appears to be no end of it in sight. The Newber- " is one of the few in the develop ment stage which has been steadily operated throughout the paniclSy times. About 30 men are employed on the property.
 It was first located in 1882 and at the time was considered a coming silver proposition, but later the silver petered out and the copper and gold ing quantities. It is a reformed or self-fluxing ore and runs according to conservative estimates about $6 in gold and 4 per cent copper. There are four distinct and parallel veins Ou tue piOPSIby anu SCluC UT tue OTS can be quarried on the surface.
 Concerning the development work, MT. Lander says that at least five miles of tunneEng, .cross-cuttings and other workings have been completed There are four shafts down from 2S5 feet to 350 feet An S00-foot tunnel is being run into the side of the mountain which will cross-cut the vein at the 300 level.
 From the mouth of this tunnel is being built an aerial train operated by the gravity system to the railroad for the transportation of ore. It will have a capacity of 1000 tens per day. There is sufficient water to work the mine successfully. The outcrop- pings have been found to extend for a distance of 22,0OO feet. The vein. says Mir Lander, widens as the depth Is greater, from 14 to nearly 100 feet in places. He is very enthui- astic over the outlook and predicts for the camp great future The proper ty is practically controlled by four parties. The machinery which will be added to the equipment will com prise 150-horse power boiler, dyna- noes and other parts for an auxiliary plant.-Republican.

 level and in the winze below, and it returns the company an excellent net profit
 The recent strength of Arizona Commercial stock is based on devel- opments west of its Black Hawk shaft. Formerly all the good ore opened up in the Black Hawk was east of the shaft. A drift was extended 400 to 800 feet west of the shaft to- wards the center of its property, all in barren ground. A crosscut from this drift located the Assure recently, however, and opened a large vein of high grade ore. The drift Is being extended, and indications are that the ore increases in richness as it gaes west. There is now more reason than ever before to believe that the Black Hawk is developing into large and valuable mine

 The campaign of development which has been pursued by the Oran Copper company in Bingham and the Cumberland-Ely and Nevada Consoli- dated in Ely has been on a tremend- ous scale. Steam shovels and four compartment shafts are contributing factors in putting these companies in position to place millions of pounds of new copper on the market at a cost of 8 cent per pound.

ter the first of April A mining man who is very close to the management of the Cananea company this week made the prediction that when tae remodeled plant was ready for pro ducing copper that the cost of pro auction at Cananea would not be over Il cents, as against something near If cents under the old manage ment.

As to when work will begin on the construction of this smelter nothing definite is known. L. c. Shattuck and B. Nj.

The letter follows:

Dear Henry: The recent seizure
of Japanese vessels by the Chinese
government at Tsuan Choufu brings
| into prominence one of the oldest
cities of China if not of the world.
1t is in Fukien province just across
the straits from the island of For
mosa. now held by Japan. Ever
since it's last war with China Japan
has coveted this province and only
wants preteXt to do with this part
of the "flowery kingdom" like it has
done with Korea and Mancuria. That
ii is shipping arms to the interior
and that it's agents are there trying
to create internal disturbances so
| that it can have some excuse to put
an army in there to help CD main
tain order and then forget to march
away, | fully believe,
Several years ago I was travelling
in the interior of that province and
| was in places where the advent of
a foreigner was the talk of the town
until the next foreigner came along.
/ was told in some of the towns
that some Japanese had travelled
through there year or two before
with something like Punch and
Judy show. | saw then through the
tnin vei. of the agents of the Mikado.
Japan would have seized part of
that country during the Boxer
trouble had it not been for the Am
erican consul.
My trip in that country was an
interesting one but | do not want
another on account of the intense
curiosity of the people and of the
cement cesspools or repositories
along every road and around the
front door of every farmers house.
This soil has been titled thou
sands of years and it needs to be
nursed and fed. 1t is not fertilized
every year like Egypt by the over
flow of the Nile or the Grand valley
rivers that irrigate it. Everything
that will rot, tester and make a stink
is put in these cesspoois to rot, tester
and stink till the stuff is carried out
to fertiliZe the soil.
My business took me into some
villages in gulches or on the sides
of mountains, where foreigner had
never been. All the women have
little feet and cannot gad about like
the women do in some countries.

morning that in making the trip
from Meeker to Rifle the auto in
which he was riding passed at least
thirty hunting parties making for
the mountains and valleys in search
of deer. Old-timers told him that
there are more hunters in the Meek
