ARIZONA LEADS IN
 COPPER OUTPUT
CErom Thursdays pailyO

From the best authority obtainable
 at the present writing, Arizona for
 the month of March produced about
 thirty-one million pounds of copper,
 exceeding Montana by nearly two mil
 lion pounds, says the Bisbee Miner.
 This places Arizona again in the lead, and it is not likely to be caught up with again for many years to come. Many new camps will add to this pro- duetion, and it is probable Arizona
 will forge way ahead of any other state, nation or country.
 Arizona led the world in the pro duction of copper in the year 1907, and stood second in the year following, passed only by the state of Montana. It now leads the world again, and probably will maintain that position for a generation, perhaps for all time.
 The production of Montana praeti- callv comes from the one camp of Butte, and while there will be more ore foound in virgin ground, still this must be somewhat limited in extent, for it must be remembered that Butte has had the advantage of development for a great number of years, and the confines of the ore bodies are fairly well known.
 With Arizona the ease is entirely different. The output is widely dis tributed, practically from one end of the Territory to the other. and as rail roads are extended, new camps are springing into prominence. Many new camps have been sufficiently investi- gated for it to be known for certain ty that copper will be produced in amounts comparing favorably with the other bonanza camps of the common wealth. Besides nearly half of the area of the Territory has scarcely been prospected, especially the northeastern part, and copper is known to be there in several places, and future investiga- tions will assuredly open up several camps. However. we do not need to concern ourselves with these possibili- ties to know that Arizona is right in the beginning of ar increased copper production. Several camps have been visited by the big copper men of the country, much ground has been se- cured, companies started and financing begun, sufficiently to assure an in creased output of the red metal
 Perhaps the three largest districts that are now coming into prominence are what the writer chooses to call the West Zone of Globe, where are situat- ed the Miami, Cordova, Live Oak, Key stone, and the Inspiration, and the Ray and London districts The town is called Miami, and by this name the locality will probably be known. M anna is about six miles west of Globe. The Gila Valley, Globe X Northern railroad is now grading to extend the rails from Globe to the new camp, and rains will be runnig into Miami with n a few months.

GOLD BASIS GROUP
(Prom Fridays Dailvl

After several weeks negotiations, the title to the Gold Basis group of mining claims in the Groom Greek section of the Hassayampa district, passed from T. J. Laird to A. D. Lynn and c. W. Green yesterday The group, comprising four full claims, is located six miles and a half south of this city.
 The new owners are arranging to start development at once. The loea- tions cover a series of veins, from which high grade gold ore was mined in the early '70s.

COPPER OUTPUT OF
 THE WHOLE WORLD

The most reliable data available from sources of undisputed authority has been secured by Bradstreet in comparing the world-output of copper. Arizona miners will 10 doubt be in- terested in the figures and sources of supply as given herewith. Merton & Co. of London place the worlds output of copper at 74s,625 long tons for 1908, as compared with 713,s65 tons for the year previous, an increase of 4,760 long tons in 1908.

MINING ACTIVITY IN
 AND ABOUT MoHAVE
From Thursdays Dany0

Rrom Thursdays DsryO
 Great activity prevails in the San Francisco range bordering on the Col orado river from the Eldorado Canyon on the north to Parker in Yuma county on the south.
 About midway on this range is locat- ed the great Goldroad mine. Great quantities of $1O ore is blocked out. The company is erecting a 60-stamp mill. The company expects to have its new plant ready by July 15. It has been placing the power line from the Desert Power Co.'S station in Kingman to Goldrad, distance of 9 miles.
 At the Tom Reed mine, near the Goldroad, a 1O-stamp mill is being erect ed and will use the Desert Power Co.'S line for future operations. The com pany is at present running the old To- stamp mill and continues to block out large reserves of high-grade ore. It is reported that Tom Redd has ledge 20 feet wide of $50 ore.
 Three miles below Kingman the Bi- Metallic Gold Mines Co. is developing a body of gold ore. This property was formerly known as the Mcclure mine. It consists of lava-capped hill, car rying a ledge which is freely sprinkled with free gold. About six months ago this property was taken over by Pit kin. Colo, people, who organized the Bi-Metallie Co. and commenced to open the mine on large scale. A 10-stamP mill with concentrations was installed, which has now been n operation for the past three months with good re- suits. They have developed a ledge 250 feet wide, running $S in free-mill- ing gold. The company will add So more stamps in the near future. This property is on the edge of the town.
 The Goldfat district is located along the Santa Fe railroad, about six miles below Kingman, and contains several large lodges of feldspar. The ledges are large and some are over 30 feet wide. In these lodges occur narrow stringers of quartz, carrying free gold in leaf and wire form. Several pros peet shafts are going down.
 The Holy Moses has a shaft down 100 feet and an equal amount of coss- cuts. The property is equipped with a 3-stamp mill. Leonard Hoffman Of KiHgman is manager.
 On the Col6rac0 river at Eldorado ! Canyon the Colorado River Dredging | Co.,, T. B. CGl', manager, has now 900 tons of material delivered and is using a large fc1ce n assembling a large { gold dredge, winch will operate on tie gold sari m the river bottom.
 The Expansion in Union Pass, 25 miles wess of Kingman, has a most re- body of gold ore, having great quartzite dyke which is exposed for several miles on the surface and has been prospeeted and tested by many prospeetors tn former years and found to go s and less. It was con- s:dered too low to handle. About a year ago Charles J. Hutchinson of Se- ittle, Wash, organized the Expansion Mining Co., composed of Seattle Peo- 1le. The company has sunk a shaft on he ledge to depth of TO feet, at which depth a great body of high grade ore has been encountered, as ;aying from $7O to $SO. The company s proposing to put in a stamp mill.

The facts as to the United States, Canada and Mexico are already well known. The new features noted in connection with the worlds output of copper last year were the comparative ly large gains tn the production of Russia, Chile and Peru. Some years ago Chile was among the worlds prin- eipal copper producing countries, but for the last two decades it's output has not changed much. However, Ameri- can and British interests appear to be bringing more of the red metal out of the ground, and the output for 1908 was the largest since 1890.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June E-(Special)
Although the grand lodge of odd Fell
lows of South Dakota, at its annual meet
Ing at Deadwood last month, selected Dell
Rapids as the location of a fine home for
needy members. which 1t will erect, more
than a year is likely to elapse before the
actual work Of constructing the 10000 main
building will commence. The board which
has charge of the work of installing the
home does not care to assume too much
responsibility, and it is reliably stated that
before awarding the contract the board
will first submit to the grand lodge for
it's approval the plans and specifications
for the building. AS the grand lodge will
not hold another meeting for about a
year, the plans and specifications cannot
be approved before that time, and no
move toward the erection of the building
will be made until this approval of the
grand lodge has been secured.

Heavy Rainfall
Helps the Crops
Many Sections Were in Need of the
Inch or More that Fell on
Sunday and Monday.

LINCOLN, June 7.-Seven inches OF rain
at Hebron and four inches at Pleasant
dale today caused floods and serious dam
age in and near those towns. Near Pleas
antdale 200 feet of Burlington railroad
track was under six feet of water and
trains were stalled for ten hours. on the
McCook division Of the Burlington there
have been two washouts Of track, one be-
tween Strang and Invale and one west
of McCook. a Burlington freight engine
and four cars went into the ditch on &C
count of the soft track. No one was in
jured. The crops in the flood district
have been washed out badly.
HASTINGS, Neb., June 7-(Special)-
The heaviest rainfall since March. In this
county, fell last night. beginning about s
o'clock and continuing intermittently until
about 2 this morning. In this city the
precipitation measured 1877 inches, but
in the south part of the county was much
greater. Prior to last night the heaviest
downpour for over two months was only
slightly more than half an inch. In the
last month showers nave come with sat
isfactory frequency, however, and all crops
are now in excellent condition. Some late
sown wheat suffered from lack OF mois-
ture, but the percentage Of damage to
this crop is insignificantly small. Corn
throughout could hardly be better.
TRUMBULL, Neb., June 7.-(Special)-
This section was visited with a two-inch
rain Sunday night which, with the pre-.
vious rains, insures a small grain crop
and gives corn a good start. Everybody is
busy blowing corn, which looks the best
in years. Wheat will be a good yield.
Only about 8 per cent of corn was listed
In, so that the damage from wind does
not amount to much in the total.
BUTTE, Neb., June 7.-CSpecial )-This
town experienced a wind storm Saturday
damage. 1t came as a straight wind from
the west and with such velocity that small
trees in the street were snapped off like
reeds, The wind only lasted a few min.
utes and was followed by a severe electric
display. Several buildings are reported
to have been demolished in the vicinity.
HARVARD, Neb, June 7.-(Special.)-
Rain began falling early Sunday evening,
continuing at intervals during the night,
the fall reported by Observer Fleming
being one and one-half inch. The rain
seems to have been general over the
county and is most fully appreciated, as
in many places It was badly needed. The
general prospect for small grain over Clay
county varies but little from the condi-
ton one year ago. Corn is coming on in
fine shape, and will get such a start of
weeds as will make 1t better than last
year.

LINCOLN, June 7~.-Cspecial)-"I am

know whether / am going to be a candidate
for governor or for senator, but the prop
osition Is not worrying me In the least. I
have never been given to plotting in poll.
tics or looking too far ahead, so l am
simply trying TO FIJI the office Of governor
to the best OF my ability and let the fu-
ture take care Of itself. 1t has been my
experience that the people take care Of
the faithful officer, and I am willing to
trust the people for my political future. It
is a long time before the next election OF
state officers and a senator, and believe
! can better serve the state by attending
to my office than by plotting for an cleo
ton TO the senate or for a second term
as governor"
The above in substance was the answer
OF Governor Shallenberger to the aues-
ton: Are you a candidate for the senate
or for governor"
The governor did not appear to be very
much worked up over the announcement
of Mayor Dahlman that he will fight him
for the nomination, and neither did the
mention of Mr.. Bryan, w. II. Thompson
or Richard L Metcalfe for the senate seem
TO upset him.
The governor has received a copy of
the program 70 be carried out at the dol
lar dinner to be given in Kearney on the
night Of June 10. and he will attend. The
governor will speak on the subject, Ne.

OF Mayor Dahlman, and IT is very likely
tho governor will announce his platform
on the liquor question before the mayor
gets an opportunity to tell the democrats
upon vhat grounds he expects to make his
fight.
