CANANEA LIKELY IN FULL
BLAST IN SIX WEEKS

BlSBEE, July 3l.-That the Greene.
Cananea will be running in full blast
at mines, concentration and smelter
within six weeks il the belief Of DR..
l.. ID. Ricketts,, general manager Of the
company, who was in Bisbee Wednes.
day on his way TO Cananea, after n
long absence in the east.
When seen, DIR. Ricketts, stated that
il was his intention to remain in Can.
anea and give his undivided attention
to operations. Since long before the
partial resumption of operations the
doctor has been in the east on business
connected with the affairs Of the com.
pany.
DIR. Ricketts, stated that he was high
~ pleased with the initial resumption
Of operations, but that much more
work would be required TO get things
into the proper shape for complete re-
sumption. Six weeks he considered
sufficient time to nave the preliminary
matters attended 20 and the mines and
the works Of the company running full
blast.
No rate has yet been. secured for the
oil which has been contracted for from
the Texas Oil company and for present
shipments of fuel oil very high rate
il being paid. According to the inter
state commerce acts the company will
have TO wait until the publication Of
new tariffs before a lower rate can be
effective.
DIR. Ricketts, stated that business
conditions in the east are rapidly i'm
proving and the copper metal market
is showing more strength than II has
for many months, which is due TO heav'
Ter sales and greater demand for the
metal from large manufacturers.

GOLD UNDER AND ON
TOP OF THE GROUND
From Saturdays paily)

With the shutting down Of the
Humboldt smelters last fall, closing the
home market for the product of his
mines, George Mahard of Placerita
turned his attention to farming and
gardening on his mining claims which
are advantageously located TO Placer
tia creek, the waters Of which he uses
for irrigation. He planted several
acres of corn, melons and squashes,
which have grown into prolific crops,
showing that the land is richer than
any one ever dreamed of when under
intelligent cultivation and irrigation

COPPER OUTLOOK Is
REGARDED AS BRIGHT

BOSTON, July 30.-In many quar-.
tiers it Is beginning to be asked IL the
copper shares nave not already dis.
counted a considerable advance in the
price Of the metal which il yet to be.
come a reality.
In long analytical article on the
position Of coppers the Commercial
Bulletin points out by means Of com.
parative tables the fact that the mar.
ket value Of copper shares today is
greatly in excess Of their current mar
ket value in March, 1904, when copper
was selling at practically the same
price as IL IL today-l3 cents n pound
and even higher than the market price
Of tine same shares in May, 1905, when
copper, the metal, had advanced TO Is
cents n pound. The writer figures that
il will, in the natural course Of events,
be January, 1909, before the price Of
the metal advances from its present
level 10 around 10 cents, and that the
present price Of copper shares has al.
ready discounted that event.
We are inclined 10 take exception 20
the conclusions made in the article in
question, for, in the first place, the con-
dtions are vastly different in respect
to many Of the eoppers this year to
those prevailing in 1904. Take Allou.
ez, for instance, which was then selling
AZ 4, and is now quoted at 80. -Four
years ago Allouez was not mine, but
only prospect, and since then the
Calumet & Heela people have bought
controlling interest in it, and it has
become a subsidiary Of the "big com.
pany."
Then, again, the costs Of producing
copper have been lowered tremendous
ly over the costs one year ago on the
90 cent metal market. The producing
mines are making more money today
on 10 cent copper than they were four
years ago. Consumption has been at
so low an ebb now that any change
must be for the better, and il Is hardly
possible that the market has discounte J
all the good things that are due TO hap
pen in the metal market within the
next six months.

PUSHING SHAFT TO
THOUSAND FOOT LEVEL


Ed. Walker, who has charge Of the
machinery at the McCracken mine in
Mohave county, will return TO that
camp today, after a few days vacation
here with old time friends.
Speaking Of the McCracken mine TO
a Journal.Miner representative yester.
day, Walker said: "The new working
shaft is down TO depth Of $50 feet.
A station is cut at this point and
drifts started each day on the great
vein. The shaft will he pushed TO the
1000 foot level as fast as possible.
Stations will be cut every hundred and
fifty feet all the way down and the
ledge explored by drifts and crosscuts.
Developments in the mine are very en-.
couraging TO the McCracken Hill Min.
ing Company, owning the property.
The concern is composed Of leading
capitalists and fnanciers Of Chicago.
Everyone knows that the silver lead
ores of the McCracken mine are IA.
nous for their richness. Houses are
being added to the camp for the nc.
commodation Of the force employed
which Is being increased as fast as de.
velopment permits. A new air com.
pressor will be added TO the equipment
soon and number Of other improve.
ments are under contemplation by the
management.
The McCracken mine II located forty
miles southeast Of Yucca, the neares,
railroad station on the main line Of
the Santa Fe. Some Of the richest sill.
yer ore ever mined in the territory
was taken from it's shallow workings
in the early days Of mining in Mohave
county.

We need the Mon- ey. You need the Goods; Let s get to- gether.

Owing to certain circum- stances, we have decided to in augurate great Mid Summer Sale. Our principal reason for so doing is to turn part of our stock into ready cash. During the early Spring, we laid in one of the largest and best selected stocks of goods ever shown in our house. On account of the after effects of last Falls severe money crisis, the Spring and summer business has proven far short of what 1t should have been, and we find that we have much more Summer Merchan- disc than conditions demand, and as we feel that we cannot afford to keep the money tied up in this stock, we have decided to put the goods down to prices that will move them quickly. We need the money and you need the goods; let's get togeth- CT. A large part of the prices quoted in our circular are below the actual cost of goods. and we cannot charge anything at c.:cular prices.
