COL. GREEN SAYS CANANEA WILL
 RESUME

The Bisbcc Review ot June : prints a very interesting interview with Col W. C. Greene, the Conanca copper king, sent by the Reviews special correspon. dent at Dulutb, Minn. Tho special says: Col. W. c. Greene, copper min. ing man, who wito his physician, Dr. Galbraith, is in the city for q few days, consented Co talk copper for few minutes yesterday. He had just return. cd with tho doctor to the Spalding from m automobile ride. Colonel Greene has been suffering from an at. tack of rheumatism, but is now rapid. ly recovering from it, and otherwise is in his usual good health.
 "Thcre is nothing new about the copper business just now,' said Colonel Greene. "Eyerything dePeods on the revival of the business Tnc German and English markets for tho metal arc very good, though. of course, the pro. duction in the United States and Mex. leo has fallen ofr, as tte consumption in the United states is much less than for. mcrly. We cannot expect much of a revival in copper until general business improves, and that improvement has al- ready begun to make it's appearance. Everything looks encouraging Co me.
 "In Arizona and Mexico the general feeling is that we shall enjoy better prices for copper by next fall, and pro. duction of tnc metal is increasing quite rapidly. IL now looks ns if Arizona will pass Michigan as copper produc. ton division Of the Unitcd States with. in the next two years.
 "The Cole properties at Bisbcc arc m fine shape. The Superior and Pitts. burg and the Calumet & Arizona are looking well. The Cole properties in the Burro Mountain district are looking exceedingly well.
 "The Greene Canaaca property Is in excellent shape and we expect 10 re. nme production in n short time. The Greene Canauea plant has been largely increased and we shall he in position 'o produce the metal cheaper than ever before. We sno0ld bc abie to produce copper for less than 10 cents pound. which is about three cents pound cheaper than three years ago. The re- juction is made possible by new im- provements at the plant and a little higher average of metal to the ton of ore. The silver values. too, are increas. ing and will materially help to reduce the cost of producing the copper.
 "Yes, the times surely are improv. ing. There Is general feeling over the country that we have seen the worst of the late panic and that we are now experiencing an upturn. The panic was caused by lack of confidence, and all that we need is return of cont. dence 10 get everybody busy again. Some enterprises have been delayed, hut l believe that the country will ben. eft by what we have experienced. This country is too rich and has too many undevelopcd resources 10 suffer any per mancnt setback.

State Supreme Court Opinion.


Judge Boyd then refers to the opin-
lon Of the supreme court Of South
Carolina, deciding that a suit against
the dispensary commission was a suit
against the State.
THE South Carolina supreme
court" says the judge, "is entitled to
and has our most profound respect,
but we do not feel entitled to adopt
the construction given by that tribun-
al to the. statute Of South Carolina.
The law governing us is we'll settled
in the case Of Burgess VS.. Seligman,
