THATCHER, February 16.--The funeral services of Mrs. Margaret Brinkerhoff took place in the meeting house Monday afternoon, Bishop Pete, son presiding. About seventy members of the Young Ladies association of Thatcher had gathered at the meeting
 house and marched in body to the Brinkerhoff home, where they formed a procession ahead of the hearse, and
 marched to the meeting house, where they opened ranks, and, letting the pro cession pass through, followed the mourners into the house. The funeral procession, as it wended its way to- wards the meeting house, was an i'm posing sight, about two blocks in length. Mrs. Brinkerhoff had at one time been president of the Thatcher Young Ladies association, and at the time of her death was stake and local officer in the same association, hence the ward association took the opportunity of showing her especial honors.

BOSTON, April 12.-The present Cole-Ryan ownership in Giroux Con solidated amounts to 100000 shares, which they purchased from large stockholders in the company, who contributed prorata, at slightly under S per share.
 In order that they may secure a larger interest in the property, how ever, an issue of second mortgage ST. 500, ,000 bonds has been authorized by stockholders These bonds are con vertible into stock at par s5 per share (stock now selling at 1-2) but do not draw interest. In fact, it is not planned to have the outstanding, but as fast as the company needs addition al funds. the Coie-Ryan people will take up these bonds and immediately convert in stock.
 Of the original issue of $1,000, 900 first mortgage convertible bonds, and of which only s50,000 were taken by the stockholders, about one-half. or s5ee. .000, have already been converted into stock and additional conversions are being made every day.

RICH STRIKE Is
 MADE AT SYLVAN|TE
Ore Which Pays S8,000 Per Ton Found In RidgeWood
 Claim
fSnecial to Reviewl

SYLVANTTE, April 12.-A strike of real high-grade ore was made on the Ridgewood claim, about mile and a half southeast of here, and adjoining the Gold Hill property on the south. The strike was made across the Gulch from the 50-foot tunnel which was recently contracted for, and practi- calIy at the surface.
 The company's engineer was looking over the ground, and ordered shot put in at a place where he found some free gold showing in the crop pings. with the result that the rock was found to be literally peppered with the gold. The ledge is several feet wide, and the rich streak from 12 to IS inches and conservative estimate of the latter would be at least $I 900 to the ton. while some claim that it will run as high as s6,OOO or Ss.000.
 This camp has been very quiet for the last few weeks, and this new find has created a great deal of excite ment here. About a half ton of this ore has been sacked already. and men are to be put at work at once say ing all the high grade.

FIGURES ABOUT COPPER ID BE
 MADE PUBLIC
Copper Producers Association At Their Next Meeting Will Issue Statement Which Will Be of interest

BOSTON, April I2.-The Copper Producers Association, which usually meets on the 10th of the month, will this month meet on Monday the 12th and on that day will make known it's March figures of production, deliveries and supplies.
 Estimates as to the March surplus vary greatly. The New York Journal of Commerce, for instance, today fig ures that the excess of production for that month over exports and domestic deliveries amounted to 23,00o,000 pounds, bringing the total surplus of marketable supplies" up to 2O0,0O0,- GOO pounds.
 The best opinion is that this esti- mate Is entirely too large and that 1t does not make proper allowance for the large deliveries of copper to do- mestic consumers during the early part of the month We estimate total March deliveries at 55.000,000 pounds.
 On March 1 the stock of marketable copper in this country was placed by the Copper Producers Association at I73.2S4.24S pounds, the surplus having been increased 29,154. .203 pounds in February and 21,772,T79 pounds in January. The Boston News Bureau figures that the surplus accumula- ton in March did not exceed 10,0O0,- 900 pounds. and that the total sup plies of marketable copper in this country on April 1 amounted approxi- mately to S2.000,O 900 pounds.
 We estimate production, exports and deliveries for March as follows:
 Stock of marketable copper on hand March 1, 1909, 173,2S4.24S pounds.
 Production of marketable copp1 from all domestic and foreign sources, 11c.000,000 pounds.
 Deliveries for home consumption, 55,000,000 pounds.
 Exports during March 46,645, 760 pounds.
 Total deliveries of marketable cop per for consumption and export 101,- 645, 7G0 pounds.
 Surplus production over deliveries, S.354, ,240 pounds.
 Stock of marketable copper in United States April l, 1909, 1S1,63S,4SS
 Stok of marketable copper in the United States AprI 1, 1909, 1S1,63S,- pounds.

SEARCH FOR GOLD
 IS GOING AHEAD

The search for gold in some sec tions of the famous Globe district is being prosecuted along intelligent and systematic lines and it would not sur prise the Silver Belt if number of good paying gold propositions were early opened in this immediate vicin- ity and that sooner or later, there will be an epidemic of gold fever.
 Encouraging reports continue to come from the gold fields in Lost Gulch and Gold Gulch, where high grade ore has been uncovered re- gently, and where float of fabulous richness has been found. Miners in these gulches for years have made better than wages in placer pursuits along the mountain streams, indicat- ing a strong lead somewhere to be discovered. In fact. .Iese gold indi- cations are attracting the attention of capital and during tile Iast year a number of strong c0mpaqies have been organized with plenty of money behind them for development purposes and the outcome of their endeavor will be awaited with keen interest. That gold exists in the two gulches specified there is no longer doubt, and we predict that at no distant day gold from this locality will add to the fame of the district.
 Another section equally as promis- ing and where there is unusual activ- ity at present in the Pinal foothills to the west and southwest of the city. A shaft driven to depth of fifty-four feet is in fine iron and sulphide ores, carrying gold values from S10 to s27, while ore of a similar character, en- countered in the breast of a one-hun- dred-foot tunnel runs from S10 to $50 in gold values and has every indica- tion of permanency. At this pros pect actual systematic development work is going on, anl tho mine will soon be in the regular shipping list. 4 recent smelter run of carload from this tuneI gave returns of s10 per ton in gold with a free shelter run made possible by the high-grade flux- ing ore. The owners of this prop erty are satisfied that they have gold mine and are spending thousands of dollars in development work
 It is hoped that with deep mining in the three districts mentioned, that copper will be encountered, but it Is always added that enough gold will be found to pay the expenses of min ing Should this prognostication prove true it should encourage min ing in these sections, especially in the Pinal foothills, where good wagon roads have already been established and the distance from the city is not gTeat.-Silver Belt.

COPPER STRENGTH
 BEING DISPLAYED

NEW YORK, April 12.-The recent strength of the shares of the copper companies is due to a better demand for copper over the last few days. Consumers, as a result of the low prices for the metal, are showing more of disposition to buy, and some good sized contracts have been placed recently with domestic consumers.
 Sales of electrolytic were made Monday morning at a shade over 12 3-4 cents a pound, the highest level reached in the current upward move ment The statement of B. B. Thayer, assistant to President Rogers of the Amalgamated Copper Co, that the copper industry had turned for the better, has helped the price of the copper stocks.

aRAzils MINING cooE:

The State of Bahia, which is the richest of Brazilian States in mineral deposits, framed mining code ID 1907 designed to stimulate the promo ton of this important branch Of na- fIonal industry. In the promuigation of these regulations the State govern ment made liberal provision for the rights of landowners, but at the same time provided the necessary impetus for fhe exploitation of the mineral re- sources of the property either by the holders or possible lessees- Old Fort uguese records fix the annual gold product of the country at over S5,OOO,- 900 annually. a large proportion oi which was obtained from Bahia, while the 1.70O tons of mouazite sand and the 1s.O00 tons of manganese ore shipped from the state in 1907 demon strafes it's possibilities in these mes.
