DISTRICT

Great Montana Copper Field Is Preparing to Break
 Former Records
REPORTS ATTRACT MUCH
 ATTENTION IN EAST

BUTTE. Mont. June 3D.-The an nual reports of all of the big com panies operating in the Butte district, and which have been made public dur ing the past few weeks. have absorb ed the attention of mining men here to exclusion of almost everything else. The production for the year of approximately 252.OOO.O0O pounds of copper is considered most satisfac- tory. and the reports of the individual companies relative 10 development work and improvements are consider ed most encouraging and lead to the belief that the next year here will be one of the most active the district has ever seen.
 Many predict that the production in the next twelve months will exceed that of 1905. the banner year. when it was 219.000,0O pounds. Merely one bit of evidence in support of this con tention is the present production of the Bo~I < Montana properties, which are now hoisting 10000 tons of ore a month, 30,000 more than ever before in the history of the company
 The plans looking to the reduction in the cost of operating, the many improvements under consideration and the enormous amount of devel opment work now being prosecuted by all companies and in all parts Of the district all point in this direction

CFrom oBston News Letter,

CF'rom oBston News Letter.
 BOSTON, June 30.-Tne Superior X Pittsburg Co. is earning today at the rate of about 70 cents Der share. This calculation is based on an out put at the rate of 25,000.00o pounds of copper per annum, a 91-2 cent cost and a l3 1-2-cent copper market.
 The company has very wisely in augurated the policy of reporting its monthly output of copper separated from that of the Calumet & Arizona. Formerly the smelter output of both companies was combined in one total. The output of the Superior & Pitts burg Co. for March and April was as follows, in pounds:
 March .. ..- ...-. 2,035,0lf April 1,96i, ,000
 The company's pumping expenses continues to represent an eXtraordi- nary outlay, and are equivalent to fully 1-4 cents per pound of copper production. IL is said that the com pany is expending at the present time between s25,000 and s30.000 per month in pumping something like D. O0O. 900 gallons of water a day.
 In contrast with the excessive and burdensome supply of water which some of the Bisbee mines have en- countered at depth, it may be men, toned that in the earlier days of the camp it was necessary, in order to provide steam for the boilers, to bring water into the camp on the backs of mules.

NACOzARI MINES
 IMPROVING
Recent Visitor to Sonora Con- firms Report of Good Find
 ings at Pavo Rica
LOW PRICES FOR METALS
 COMPEL ORE GRADING

A well known mining man from So- nora was in the city. yesterday and re- ported that in the NacoZari district mining matters were picking up. both as to copper and silver propositions, but especially as to the latter. The visitor confirms the reports of good ore at the Pavo Rica, the property which has been leased by O. l.. Neer from C. A. Overlook and Jim Finch. On this property they are now in an IS inch vein of high grade ore which is running close to 10 per cent lead and from 100 to 150 ounces of silver.
 Conditions in Sonora, so the inform ant says, look better than ever al though the tendency at the present time, owing to low prices of metal. is to select and ship only high grade ore. In addition to the good showing at the Payo Rica the San Pedro mine is shipping and is in good high grade ore and a carload of particularly high grade ore was recently shipped from the King mine. owned by Holmes and Cardweli. Of this property Billy Cardwell has never talked much. ne would only say that lie was satisfied and that in the end he would be in the production game, but those who have been fortunate enough to visit this proposition. but a short distance from Nacozari, have for some time been convinced of its good future.
 This is one of the small propositions which continued to work all through the depression. Mir. Cardwell, man ager of the property, was formerly assistant assayer at the C. X A. smelt- CT in Douglas, from whence he went to NacoZari.
 From Baragon Pass also comes the report of shipments of high grade ore. This is the property which is being worked by LePage of New York. and his associates. Mir. LePage is now at the property and it is said that conditions look pleasing to him

SUPERIOR s R|TTSbURG |S
 SHOWING INCREASED EARNINGS

profitable portion of the output. is coming almost entirely from the Del Norte claim. which claim was pur- chased some years ago for $1S0,000. This claim belongs to the old Calumet & Pittsburg company and is the only one of the four companies consoli- dated into the Superior & Pittsburg Co. which has made good. The bal ance of the company's immense acre age Is stiu undergoing vigorous de velopment, and some promising ore bodies are Coming into line, but as yet practically all the profitable pro- duction is coming from the Hoatson shaft on the Del Norte claim.
 This is the shaft which for the time being is relied upon to show earnings for the company's excessive ly large capital of 100000 shares, representing the consolidation a few years ago of the Lake Superior & Pittsburg. Calumet & Pittsburg. Pitts burg & Duluth and Junction proper ties.
 Superior & Pittsburg has recently made some substantial payments to its sister company, the Calumet X Ari- zona Go. on account of sums bor- rowed in previous years. and concern ing which there has been considerable criticism on the part of the Calumet & Arizona stockholders.
 Superior & Pittsburg is steadily im- proving it's position, and some of the largest owners are understood to be increasing theIr interest in the shares.
 Chester A. C0ngdon is the largest individual shareholder.

LAS P|hTAS MINES BOUGHT BY SYNDICATE Deal Includes San Jorge and Eastern Railroad Purchase
 By French Investors

TUCSON, June 30.-A mining and railroad deal which is of great import ance to northwestern Sonora and in cidentally to Tucson has just been completed by Capt. c. Harry Thomp- son of Los Angeles, according to ad vices from that city.
 The deal includes the sale of the Las Pintas mine, sixteen miles from San Jorge bay. The purchasers are French syndicate and the consider ation is half million.
 Included also in the transaction is the sale of the San Jorge and East ern railroad, sixteen miles in length. This road is used for carrying ore to the mill which is located at tide water.
 San Jorge bay is located only about co miles south of Quitovaquito on the border line in this county. It is un- derstood that the purchasers of the mine contemplate the extension i'm mediately of the railroad eastward for distance of 30 miles to tap copper districts which have heretofore been handicapped in their development owing to the fact that transportation facilities have been poor.
 The Las Pintas mine has three shafts and has been developed to a depth of 5e9 feet. 1t is gold prop osition.
 The French syndicate. it Is an nounced has ample funds for the ex- tension of the railroad a considerable distance and 1t is more than probable that If action is taken, the line could be extended through the mining dis tricts southwest of Tucson and thence to this city at least to some point on the Tucson division of the South ern Pacific.

Ernest Hughes yesterday announce that there were already between if teen and twenty entries for the drill ing contests which are to be held at Lowell next Monday. This was just before he had called at the railroad offices to arrange for the bringing down from the Holbrook shaft the big eight ton rock upon which the drilE- ing matches will occur and to se;tle where the car and rock should be placed to give the best views of the contests.
 After MT. Hughes had left the raik road offices he was wearing a pleased smile and said: Never have I had more kind or generous treatment than ' have just received. Everything I wanted has been granted and the | company has done it's part in help ing out the contests. All that 1t will cost to bring the rock down. to take it back and for the use of the track, age is the mere trackage charge. as ' they called it, that is $10 for the whole I three days it will be on the Dem trestle''
 MT Hughes then added that it had been decided 10 run the car out on the Denn trestle at Lowell. where a 1 fine view can be obtained by all. | had been suggested that a track bC laid down the main street at Lowell and the rock hauled over the street railroad to trackage there. but a beLte, view is afforded by the present aT engagement and in addition to this there is no expense of any track lIy ing This reduces the expenses tC a minimum and from present indica tions the entry fees will run Ovel S200, which with the $500 other prize

 NEW YORK, June 3O-Today's mai ket proved to be one Of the holiday character. While good support was in evidence in Southern Pacific, Union Pacific. St. Paul and the steels. dur. ing the session, there was much prufis taking by traders in anticipation of the coming holidays The setback in steel was probably the chief market influence. This stock was sold on the talk of a strike of 10000 men in the tin works Of the steel corporation. While we regard the matter as of little consequence, it was sufficient to check the advance in Wall street bearing or the speculative situation. Fundamental conditions stand for higher prices We doubt If market will show much. if any activity before the coming holidays are past.

PRICE OF COPPER.

BOSTON, June 30--In connection with the consumption of copper in this country it should be taken into con sideration that there has ben no do nestle demand as yet for copper for new enterprises, and it is such con struct.on needs, that should assist to lick up the available copper supplies.
 Until that time arrives. however. it is not expected in well-informed quar- ters. that there can be any material advance in the price of copper, ubt when it does come, the demand for the metal should be upon a scale ney- CT before reached in this country.

PROFIT IAKING DEPRESSES Market Well Supported Till Realizing Cuts Prices of
 Some Issues LOW PRICE STOCKS
 HOLD STRONG ALL DAY
By Frank J. Graf.D

The copper market continued to be very well supported during the ses- sion of today's trading till about the close when there was considerable profit-taking, depressing some of the higher priced issues. Amalgamated shows a decline of one point while North Butte sold up to 5S, closing at 56. Copper Range sold up to S2, but only lost 1-2 point at the close. Ana conda, Butte Coalition, Old Dominion were inclined to be fractionally weak. Superior & Pitsburg was very strong. sales being made at 15-00 but closed at Is 5-S bid. Looks like there was something doing in $. & P. Denn and Shattuck hold firm. There continues to be good demand for lower priced issues as Greene-Cananea, Chino. In- spiration, Live Oaks, Gila. The New York market shows some new high points today and looks as though the entire market was going to sell higher. We are of the opinion that there is oood gmoney yet to be made in the New York list

While production of silver in this country last year was more than A per cent greater than that of 1882. the commercial value was nearly $14.000.- 900 less, in 1882 silver was worth about s1.1s an ounce. last year 5s cents.
 "As to copper mining" MT. Ham mond says, while every important mine is now producing. many others are on the eve of production. and believe the production of copper this year will be far in excess of that of last year. Last year the copper pro duction increase fell below the ex- pected or normal 10 per cent. This year it will be more than as much above 10 per cent increase on last years production. The contemplated industrial revival, which seems al- ready to be well underway. will dur ing the time of prosperity more than aba>rb the increased production of col Ter for the aext few years at least.

HAMMOND SUMS
 UP MINING
Engineer Suggests Interna- tionaI Movement to Prevent
 Silver Depreciation
GREAT ACTIVITY IN
 PRODUCTION OF MINERALS

BOSTON. June 30-John Hays Hammond says: Tn regard to the out look in mining industries the world over, there is every reason to look for largely increased gold production. and Alaska. but in nearly all gold pro- ducing countries. There lis great activity at present in mining-espec- where. The TTansvaai will contri bute an important part of the in creased gold output.
 There will also be a large increase in the production of silver, notwith- standing the present prevailing low price of that metal"
 At the present price of silver, in many cases it is said, it does not pay to recover the metal from the mines. and in some cases production is being conducted at a loss. In reply to this suggestion MT. Hammond says: There is strong probability of inter national cooperation in the near flu ture, to prevent further depreciation in silver. This movement would not be in the interests of silver miners alone. but also of the merchants of the various countries interested in Oriental trade. The fact is being widely recognized that under the pres ent low rate of exchange it is almost impossible for Oriental countries to make purchases in markets of gold countries.
 As an illustration of the present de- preciated value of silver production and commercial value of that metal in the United States last year. compared with few other years since 1882, is shown in the following table:
