COUNTY.
 MINES ACTIVE
WORK BEING RESUMED ON MANY PROPERTIES WHICH HAD BEEN TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN NEW RATES HELP.

TUCSON, June 4.-Mining activity is rapidly resuming in Pinal county, a portion of which district is supplied by Tucson. The activity is attested by the immenes amount of machinery which is passing through Florence every week bound for points on the line of the Phoenix & Eastern nearest the property to which it belongs.
 A great deal of prospecting is also being done in Pinal with good results.
 The Oklahoma Copper company is looking forward to an early resumption of operations on it's properties in the Mineral Hill district, according to Supt. Roy Troxel.
 The Lake Superior & Arizona at Su perior will commence the work of un- watering the mine next week, and will then put ont force of men, increasing it from time to time as it becomes necessary in the plans of further devel- opment. They already have small force of men at work about their prop critics.
 The Ncwbury company in the Pioneer mining district is at present working good force of men about the mines, and have recently completed the repairing
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-06-05

of the road from the mine to the line of the P. & F. railway. They got in sev- eral ears of mining machinery last week and it is being hauled to the mine as raNidly as possible and force of men under the supervision of John A. Sam dal is preparing to install it. The com pany shipped three ears of ore to Dem yer recently for the purpose of ascer- taining its value and it is certain the returns will warrant the erection of a smeter on their properties.
 The Copper Creek company in the Mammoth section is also developing it's properties as rapidly as possible and recently shipped five ear loads of orc to the Denver shelter. Within the past week or ten days they have received several carloads of mining maehinry which is being installed as rapidly as possible, the shipment including several tons of wire cable with which an terial tramway will be constructed across the Gila river, and which when completed, will enable the mine to oper; ro = the several months of high water which seriously impedes operation otherwise. This company is contemplating the carly erection of smelter op it's prop critics and at present everything possi- ble IS being done in preparation tor the plant. It will be started on a small scale. but so constructed as to make it possible to add to it at any time it be comes necessary.
 Fifteen men are at work also on the Arizona Consolidated claims, pushing development.
 It is probable that the new freight rates from this section to the Fl Paso. Douglas and Globe smelters will result in the immediate resumption of opera tions on many more of the Pinal county mining properties which have been closed down and which are shippers of ore when in operation.

FIRST SHIPMENT or GOLD
 FROM GoLDFIELD MINES
 TO THE CLARK SHELTER

JEROME, June 4.--The first shipment of gold ore from Goldfeld to the Clark shelter is now on its way. Other ship ments will follow.
 This is the result of the new tariff put in on ore from Nevada points to Jerome few weeks ago, by the Las Vegas ( Tonopah, Salt Lake, and Santa Fe railroads, over all of which roads the shipments go.
 This first shipment is of high grade ore, billed at better than $l00 to the ton.
 The Goldfeld mines are also rcsuming shipments to Salt Lake smelters which indicates that conditions again are be- coming normal in the big gold camp, and that the shut down of few months ago is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
 The resumption of ore shipments is welcomed by the railroads, as ore must form the big end of their business, if they are to pay

Margin of Profit Reduced.

The Utah Copper company is con. stantly increasing it's output of copper concentrates, but information is at hand that the lowgrade porphyry ore which is being mined from the surface with steam shoyels is proving harder than was expected and will require more blasting than was contemplated by the companies concerned To this annoying development is probably due the delay of the Boston Con. in commissioning the idle units of it's Garfield mill. The rock can be broken down--no doubt of thati The questioh'i is: Win the additional cost of blasting reduce too heavily the mar. row margin of profit with which this l and per cent copper ore has been handled!

Spain as 2 Copper Producer.

Spain has been knowa for years as factor in the copper production of the world, says Profit and Loss, and indeed some of her mines are the very oldest producers of the red metal now operat- ing As is generally known Rio Tinto is the largest Spanish company, and it's annual report should be of more than passing interest. The reports do not disclose the cost of producing copper, but by deducting the dividends from the value of the copper sold, calculated on the average value of standard cop per. and dividing the figure obtained by the tons of copper sold, it is possible to arrive at the approximate cost. On this basis the Rio Tinto copper cost f23 per ton in 1906 and f3l in 1907, or 5c and 6.7c respectively. According to these figures the mine is in very eomforta- ble position, as few, if any, mines of importance can produce copper at so low cost. The directors of Rio Tinto, in their report just published, recon. mend the payment of a dividend of @ per share on the ordinary shares, which with the interim dividend of 47s Cd, makes a total distribution during the year 1907 of fl Ts Cd, or STE per cent. For 1906 the dividends were no per cent. The copper produced during 1906 was 34,09S tons, and for 1907 it amount. ed to 2l,25l tons. Tho decrease was chiefly caused by the three years drought in Spain, and the resultant shortage of water at the mines. The drought has been broken by abundant rains and return to normal produe tion ia anticipated for 1908

 The Old Dopinion trust receipts that were in great demand soon after the de- cision by Judge Sheldon in the state court to the effect that A. s. Bigelow and the estate of Leonard Lewisohn were liable for good round sum of nancy, have dropped out of sight on the Boston curb and there is no bid for them at any price. The decision by the United States supreme court on which there are two judges from Massachu- setts, while having an immediate bear ing on the case only to the extent of releasing the Lewisohn estate from all responsibility, is taken as forecastingi the final result in the case of the Bgc- low liability and the street does not think that holders of the receipts will realize much of anything but "flue dust v on their holdings.

either smashed or capsized. There
was feet of fishing boats I'm the
