LEADING PRODUCER LOOKS FOR FIFTEEN CENT PRICE BE
 FORE END OF YEAR

BOSTON, June 2.--One of the lar gest producers of copper in the United States says:
 "I see nothing in the copper situa- ton to cause anything but optimism and I believe that well before the close of this year copper will be firmly es- tablished on a l5-cent basis.
 "In 1896 the production of copper in this country was at the rate of but 350,00O,000 pounds per annum. Ten years later, or in 1906, the production had increased three-fold, to 950,000,0 900 pounds of copper per annum and cop. per was selling at 25 cents per pound. Now, because the production of copper is at the rate of 1,300,000,000 pounds per annum, and We have just gone through one of the most disastrous pan ics in the history of this country, aud have 1S0,000,000 pounds of copper on hand, people are wondering what will become of the copper.
 "A little patience will show them, for the consumptive demand for cop per is far greater than at any other time in the history of the world, and in my opinion a production at the rate of 1,300, 100000 pounds is relatively no greater now than was the production of 950,O0O,000 pounds in 1906"

ERECTION OF AMSTEE BUILDING AT BROAD AND BAILEY TO

The work of demolishing the old frame structure at Broad and Bailey streets, which is to be replaced by the Amster building, began yesterday.
 With good sized gang of men at work, it will be matter of only few days until the building which has been a land mark on that corner for many years will have disappeared and ex' cavation for the foundations of the new structure will be under way.
 The erection of the Amster building marks another step in the rebuilding of Broad street toward Pinal creek.
 While the new building is farther north than any expensive structure to be erected in many years, not only were the business rooms leased before actual working plans had been drawn, but an offer had been made for the upper floor as well.
 The new building will be erected as speedily as possible and should be ready for occupancy early next fall.

 versity of Rochester in 1887, and from the Rochester Theological seminary in
