The Copper Producers figures for April showed that the production and deliveries of copper came nearer an equasion than for any month this year. There was surplus of less than 100000 pounds, which was equivalent to 99Fo of the production being delivered: this compares with a 29.3 per cent delivery in March. 71.9 per cent in February and S0.5 per cent in January. It is clear. therefore, that consumption is increasing somewhat faster than pro duction, and in fact had it not been that a fairly large tonnage of the metal wag held back because of the lateness of the opening of Lake traffic the total surplus would have been re- duced some five or six million pounds.
 Production and deliveries by months is given below, together with the percentage of deliveries to pro- duction;

SLIGHT ADVANCE
 |N'COPPER PRICES

NEW fOk. May 1.-The recent ad- vance of 3-Sc on copper has been fore shadowed by the great preparations which have been made during the last sixty days. The actual rise was pre- ceded by an industrious cultivation of the domestic trade and followed by heavy orders on speculative account, both domestic and foreign. The mar vicious statistics during a time of un- precedented production and reduced consumption was entirely sufficient for speculative buyers. but there has been some real improvement by an in crease in the domestic smelting and more favorable outlook for the fu- ture. In anticipation of the advance domestic consumers have not only covered requirements due to larger business, but have been prevailed upon to anticipate requirements for the next sixty to ninety days. Flee trical machinery manufacturers, wire drawers, railroads and rolling mills purchased fair tonnages last week, and those who did not place actual orders were given options, which. of course, were exercised after the mar ket was sharply advanced through the heavy speculative transactions in Europe. which carried refined upward as a natural sequence.
 Surplus Stock.
 As a result of the recent movement the trade is preparing to see further transfer of some of the surplus stocks in the hands of the producers to con sumers as well as to speculators. It would only require about 55.e00. .000 de- liveries on domestic account, in con junction with the heavy exports dur

DEVELOPMENT AT KELVIN
The Ray Mine Will Break Grt md For New Mill
 Next Fali
VISITORS ARE IMPRESSED
 WITH ITS MAGNITUDE

PHOENIX. May 17.-Charles Gold man, c. w. Mckee, C. H. Pratt and a Gazette representative, who have just returned from a business trip to tho Kelvin district report the conditions in that rich mining reg.on as exceed ingly prosperous and Kelvin thriving as a result of the increasing activity of the surrounding camps. While there they had the pleasure of meeting Robert D. Grant, one of the principal stockholders in the Ray and Gsla properties and Philip Wiseman. the manager of the Ray mine.
 In speaking of the plans of the com. pany these gentlemen said that with. in the next six months they would be. gin breaking ground for the new mill the location of which has not yet been definitely determined. though it is now planned to build in the edge of the town of Kelvin. The capacity of the plant will be not less than 5000 tons per day and possibly as much as 5000 tons the construction on the standard gauge railroad from Kelvin to ay will be commenced at once
 Mir. Wiseman was asked how many men would be employed with the in. stallation of the new mill In reply he said: Tit is hard to say the exact number, but in order to be safe. I would estimate the number at from 1900 to 2000 on the payroll" The Ga Zette representative conservatively figuring the average wage estimated on the basis of 2000 employed a pay rol of about s150.000 per month for that mine. Taking into consideration the number of men employed in the other properties some idea of what the sun distributed monthly means to Kelvin and to Phoenix, the main dis trihntiDg point, can be gained
 The Ray is not blowing any trrm- pets nor hiding anything, but un- doubtedly there is going on one of the greatest development operations in fhe territory. which in a few years ought to make Kelvin a town of from 5000 to 10000 people The Ray men are all conservative and careful and MT. Wiseman is recognized as one of the dependable smelter and mill men of the mining world Mir. Grant was at enc time a reporter for the Associa- ted Press and is a self-made man
 The visiting party was fully con vinced the business men of Phoenix would do well to make a special trip to Kelvin and Ray just as. one would visit the Roosevelt dam or Granite Reef in order to appreciate the mag nitude of the enterprise and what the development of the district means to the Salt River valley. It will furnish a great market for the valley products and much of the large payroll will find its way in the channels of local business. The opportunity for making the trip will be offered March 23 when the Phoenix and Eastern will run a special excursion from Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. Better acquain. tance with Kelvin should be culti- yated
 MT. Grant returned with the party to Phoenix and went on to Los Ange- les, very much pleased with the in- spection of the mine.

GREENE GOLO.S|LvER
 SAID TO BE BANKRUPT
Col, Greene Alleges that Mexi-
 can Mine Owes Him Mii- lions of Dollars -~..-

Col. Greene in an interview with a representative of the Pacific Coast News Syndicate, is quoted as follows:
 "The Greene Gold-Silver of Chihua- hua, Mexico, is hopelessly bankrup and owes me s2.000.O00. The hold ings of the company will be sold un. der a receivers sale on or about July 1, and the proceeds of the sale will be applied to the debts of the com. pany.
 .The Northwestern Railway com at s5O,000,000, has taken over the entire holdings of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company, and viii start the mills at Madeira al full ca pacity July l. This will mean that s00,000 feet of lumber will be turned out daily. Survey for the railroad from Conchita, which will connect with the Hartman line that is com ing up the Yaqui river. is now under way, and the road will be completed as soon as possible, and will be run ming by September 1.
 '-The Cole-Ryan interests, repre- sented by the Greene-Cananea Cop per company. are opening up an i.I- mense body of copper at San AntoniN de Ia Huerta in Sonora This body of copper bids fair to be greater than that of the Greene-CanaHea at Cana nea, and is much higher grade.
 Concession has been granted and work started on the narrow guage railroad from Tonchita to the proper ties of the Cienegufta Copper com pany at Cieneguita. and the compile ton of this road will open up vast area of highly mineralized copper country"
 . Dr. Pearson is on his way back to the United States from Brazil, where he has been inspecting his proper ties in that country. He was sched- uied to have a conference with a former mining engineer employed by Col. Greene. for the purpose of going over the situation in Mexican mines.

COPPER PRODUCERS FIGURES

3.776.0S5 pounds for the March aver age. During April there were only 30,605 pounds produced in excess of the deliveries. An diea of the in creased deliveries may be had when it is stated that there were S40,0Si pounds more delivered per day in April than in January. The monthly figures reduced to a daily basis show as follows:
 Production Deliveries Surplus Jan. .. 3,617,490 2,914,917 702, ,379 Feb. .. 3,703,600 2.662,379 1,041, ,221 Mar. .. 3.776,0S5 3.4s5, ,903 2e0,1S2 Apr. 3.7S5.s09 3,755.0O4 30.605
 The actual condition of the market is not portrayed by the above tables. As matter of fact, three quarters of the stocks on hand have been sold and a large proportion of the metal in pro cess of manufacture has also been en- gagged for shipment.
 Deliveries for April were about equally divided between exports and domestic consumption. In March and February the domestic deliveries amounted to over 69 per cent of the total. The larger exports in April were the result of the low prices. The large sales during the past two weeks have made for an advance in prices and the probabilities are that exports for the current month will not con- sume so large a proportion of the out. put as during April.

A. |. M. & M. CO. HAS ANNUAL
 MEETING

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Arizona Gold Mines and Milling company, was held in Tombstone on the 10th inst. in the of. fees of the company Out of l ,O36, ,000 shares issued there were 7G0,000 rep. rensented. The meeting was very harmonious and enthusiastic, there not being a dissenting voice in any of the matters that came before the meeting The meeting was presided over by President Frank Fake of Ft Wayne, Indiana. The annual report of the managing director, John J. Wyatt was presented which gave concise, yet complete review of all of the work that had been accomplished during the year.
 A general discussion was entered into by the stockholders of the condi- tions and affairs of the company, which all agreed were in excellent condition, the report of committee showing that the books and various statements were found to be correct with tho report of the managing di- rector We're then adopted on melton of Ed NJ Baltes.
 The following directors were then elected for the.ensuing year; Charles l.. Wright. Sr.. of Webb City; F. D. McPherson, of Los Angeles: NJ E. Langley. Los Angeles; J. w. Swayzee. Patagonia and John J. Wyatt of Tomb stone; Fred Eckart. Ft. Wayne. Ind. {; J. Allen Hardy, Sr.. Webb City. Mo.
 Immediately after the meeting of the stockholders was concluded a meeting of the directors was held and the following officers elected; Chas. l.. Wright. Webb City, president; Fred Eckert, Ft. Wayne, Indiana. yice-presi- dent; F. D. McPherson. of Los Ange- les, secretary; J. Allen Hardy. ST., Webb City, treasurer and J. J. Wyatt, managing director.
 The report Of the operations Of the company during the past year shows that there was some 500 feet of tun- nel work done during the seven months that the company was operat. ing, a shutdown being necessary oIi account of their receiving word from the forest reserve ranger that they could not have any more wood for fuel from the reserve, so that oth- CT arrangements had to be made. which was met by the installation of oil burners which work is not quite complete but it is expected to be done within the next thirty days and a sup ply of oil on hand by that time. It is the intention of the company then to start up both the mine and the ten stamp mill and to keep them running night and day.
Bisbee daily review., 1909-05-18

The only regretful feature of the meeting according to the stockholders was the fact that Frank Fake, who had been president of the company for the past three years, refused to again accept that position, stating that on account of pressing private business matters he could not give the atten- ton to il.
 An excellent drawing of the mines and workings drawn by Grant Lewis was exhibited to the stockholders and proved of great interest to them. many of whom had not been down to the property and had no idea of the extent to which the property had been devel- oped
 4 number Of the stockholders left afterward to visit the property at Patagonia while others went out to inspect the company's holdings in the South Pass district, as well as to visit the camps of Courtland and Glee- son

ing April, to make up the entire out put of the refiners last month, which means only an increase of about 10.- 100000 to 12.000.0O0 pounds in the hands Cf the consumer. which. if well distributed. would be scarcely percep- tible
 It seems probable, therefore. that the next loducers' statement will be highly favorable to the holding inter ests, and the great activity in Europe and America during the last week has been in anticipation of this result If the copper which is being exported were going directly into consumption there would be a substantial basis for a legitimate advance. but large pro portion of the export deliveries are going into warehouses in England or being financed on the continent. This is the weak point of the situation. es- pecially on the consumptive demand in Europe during the last few weeks has been unusually light
 June and July Deliveries.
 Much of the copper taken on do nestle account during the last week has been sold for June and July ship ment, and some little business has been done for August deliveries. The success of the advancing movement has encouraged producers and selling companies to dodge late inquiries. es- pecially from dealers who wish the copper to apply on standing contracts. This virtual withdrawal from the market, temporarily. of several of the larger interests has only increased the urgency of the demand and added to the excitement of the speculative transactions abroad.
