SEEK GOOD ROADS
 FOR YAvAPAI COUNTY
,From Thursdays Daiiy)

An informal meeting of the Good Roads Association was held last night in the law offices of Norris and Ross at which legislation looking to the i'm. provement of the roads of the county was discussed. lt appeared to be the general consensus of opinoin of those present that the legislative commit. tee of the association should draft a bill 10 be introduced in the legislature creating the office of county road sup. erintendent. It was suggested that the county surveyor should he made ex.ofiicio road superintendent by legis- lative enactment.
 The matter of raising funds for the construction of territorial road was also discussed. It was agreed that steps should be taken looking to the construction of road from Benson, or some point farther south, through Tucson, Florence, Phoenix, through Castle Hot Springs, through the scenic Bradshaws to Prescott and east from 
 nere through the Verde valley, touch ing Camp Verde, the elin dwellings, Montezuma castle, Montezuma z Wells, the soda springs, north through the Mogollon mountains to Flagstaff and further to The Grand Canyon.
 This road will pass through the heart of the territory. lt will go through the principal industrial cen ters. the richest sections in agrieultur. al and mineral products, besides through the most magnificent natural sceneries in the southwest. This route m the opinion of those present, will attract thousands of tourists annually to Arizona.

LIVE OAK CLAIMS
 FIGURE IN BIG FLoTATIoN

l
 GLOBE, Jan. l3.- Tho Live Oak Development Company ik the name of the latest local mining 1o,ation. The company is now being organized to take over the option held by II. B. liovland on the Live Oak group of claims, situated about six miles west of Globe. The capitalization will be 5O,0OO shares at sI0 par; 35,O00 shares to be issued immediately at s2 can, and ss per share remaining due, and subject to call. The stock is not of fered for public subscription through brokers.
 The Live Oak group of claims. which the new company is to develop. is gen. orally regarded as one of the very best copper properties in the Miami sec. ton. 1t has remarkable surface showing of copper and which contin- ues as far as developed in depth. There has been mined from shallow workings on the Live Oak upwards of half a million dollars worth of copper. The deepes- shaft, up to the time H. B. Hovland secured an option on the property. early in December was 190 feet. Since that time some prelini. nary work has been done, a winze hay. ing been sunk seventy-6ve feet belsv the bottom of the shaft mentioned, and crosscut run thirty feet in sul- phide ore averaging, as we are inform cd, 3.7 per cent copper. The formation IS Scbulze granite and Pinsl sekist and the ore cbalcocite, conditions d. most identical with those found in the Miami mine, which is adjacent to the Live Oak. The sulphide ore thus far uncovered in the Live Oak is, howev- CT, higher grade than the Miami ore, which averages about 2 per cent.
 The organizers of the Live Oak De velopment Company are: Henry B. fiovland, IIovsl A. Smith, D. l.. Fair childs and Walter A. Barrows, Jr. Messrs. Hovland and Smith are we'll known in Arizona as successful mine promoters and operators, and as the or ganizers of the Globe Consolidated Copper Company, one of the strongest of the newer companies operating in this district. D. l.. Fairchilds of Du- luth, Minn., is president of the savana Copper Company, of Grant county, New Mexico.
 Owing to the smap capitalization sf the new company and the demand for the stock from the friends and aAo- eiates of the promoters, only a small allotment was made for Globe, and placed in the hands of M. F.. McCar> thy, the local representative of Messrs. Hovland and Smith, for distribution. This stock hns all been apportioned, as equitably as possible, although Mir Mccarthy regrets that a larger amount of the stock could not be allotted to Globe.

BELIEVES sHYLoCK
 WILL BECOME HUMMER
tFrom Thursdays Daily,

| tfrom Thursdav's DsilyD
 Agrceably surprised at the promising ore showing in the Shylock mine. own edby the Arizona Central Copper Com. pany, Attorney J. F. Wilson arrived home yesterday from three days ex animation of that and other holdings of the company comprising the Shy lock group.
 Nothing save a geologic freak can prevent the Shylock from developing into one of the great copper mines of the territory in the sulphide zone, !" nc said. "I had no idea that there is such promising showing in the Shy. lock as there really is until l made personal investigation. My examina- ton of the underground openings oc. cuped two days and one night. Although the main shaft is 6l0 feet deep the sulphide zone has not been reached. There are large ore bodies in sight in the drifts from tho shaft but the real mine will be found below water level where teaching ends.
 "The vein is so large that it must be considered deposit. The miner. aliezd zone is one thousand feet in width on the surface, shown in mum. Der of shallow shafts. Its strike is northerly and southerly with a diorite dyke on the east and schist dyke on the west. It is covered by gossan eapping.
 "From the station at the 500 foot level a drift is run northerly G feet and southerly 75 feet. Both drifts cut through bodies of mineralizcd vein matter carrying copper avlues, lead, iron and lime, an ideal combination from smelting standpoint. A 35 foot crossout on this level shows the same uniform mineralized vein matter with no wall in sight The same con. dtion exists in the 300-foot level where the north drift is 100 feet in length and the south drift is 90 feet, with n crosscut from the shaft 32 feet 10 the west and IS feet to the east.
 "similar conditions exist in the Is0 foot and 90 foot levels, proving a gen. eral sameness in the naturalization and showing the teaching of ,hc values downward.
 Kidneys of ore, rich in silver, lead and copper, have been found in all the levels. These occur where the rock is hardest.
 "The same general conditions arc found in the Bucky O'Neill shaft, HOO feet north of the main shaft on the shylock. The Bueky o'Neill shaft is down 65 feet.
 "on the whole, consider the show ings in both properties the biggest and most promising l have seen in my mining experience covering the last quarter of a century," he concluded.
 The holdings of the Arizona Central Copper Company are located on the western slope of the Black Hills range, six miles by wagon road east of Dew ey station on the s. F., r. & F.
 The management is preparing to in stall a large .eleetrie hoist at the Shy lock shaft as soon as the Arizona Power Company is ready to furnish power from its plant at Fossil Creek. The power company's transmission line to Jerome. passes quarter of n mile west of the shyloek shaft.

OFFICIAL ESTIMATE
 SHOWS COPPER INCREAsE
From ThuradaS.s DailYl


 ed tsatcs for the year 1908 was DC. riod of gradual recovery from the SC. we're depression suffered in the last part of 1907. Many producers who had greatly curtailcd or even suspend. cd production in that year began again to increase output practically at the beginning of 1908, and in spite of the low price of the metal nearly all the important producers of 1907 were in operation throughout most of 1908, and n few new companies began pro. duction during the year. The rate of production has been steadily increas. ing and is now greater than at any other time in the history of the indus. try
 The production of copper in 1908 has been ascertained by l.. C. Graton. of the United States Geological Sur. vey, through personal interviews and telegraphic communication during tho last days of the year. Except one small company all producers of blister and Lake copper have furnished their latest exact figures. most of them for eleven months. together with estimates of their production for the remainder of the year. If these estimates are realized the production of blister and Lake copper in 1908 from ores mined in the United States will be greater by about 5o,0o0,0O0 pounds, or between , and c per cent, than that in 1907, which was s6s,906,iol pounds. IL is impossible at this time to publish re. liable figures showing state production, hut concerning the three great copper producing states it may he said that Arizona and Montana show large gains and Michigan shows little change from 1907. The production of total refined new copper ny works in tnis country can not yet he given, but probably it will hardly equal the output of 1907, which was l,O32 2,5l6.2E pounds.
 Estimates based on records of the Bureau of Statistics for the first elev. cn months of 1908 show that the i'm. ports of copper in pigs, bars. etc, dur ing the year were about l60000,O00 pounds and that those of ore and matte were about j3,OO0,000 pounds. With addition for copper in pyritc, not in cuded above, the total imports may be estimated as equivalent to about 9l0.OOO, ,OO0 pounds of refined copper, n decrease of about l3 per cent from 93s OBI .320 pounds in 1907. On sim liar basis the exports of metallic cop per are estimated at about 660, ,000,000 pounds. the largest ever recorded, and an increase of about 20 per cent over the 5Os,929,iOl pounds exported in 1907.
 Stocks of refined copper are still undoubtedly very large. Domestic consumption of ney copper will show a decline from the 4s5.000,000 pounds of 1907. The average quoted price of electrolytic copper at New York for 1908 was 1920 cents. The price at the close of the year was li.ls cents.
 The prospect is bright at present for a still larger copper production in the year 1909, but it is evident that the principal producers will, more than in recent years, guage their operations by the consumption of the metal, which cannot at this time be safely forecast.

BY PETER POWER.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 3.-Wher
the various state bureaus submit
their annual reports, during the
next few months, recording the ia
talities in the mines, it will be
found that the number of killed and
injured will not be far below the
frightful sacrifices of 1907. That is
the opinion of a conservative Off
cial of the miners organization.
During the year just closed the
death toll in West Virginia alone
was nearly 1000. Almost as many
were killed in Pennsylvania, 1876
lives being snuffed out in the Mari
anna horror, and there were Ilumer.
Gus smaller disasters in the btu
minous and anthracite districts in
which dozens of lives were lost.
At Hanna, Wyo, 20 victims were
added to the CHASTITY roll; at Nc
Alester, Okla, 80 were killed, and
in lesser accidents in Alabama. Col
orado, Utah and middle western
states more than 200 lives were lost
the first six months of the year.
There is one thing in connection
with these horrors that is entirely
overlooked" says Editor William
Seattle OF the United Mine Workers
Journal, and that is the fact that
the aggregate loss of life in coal
mines from causes other than ex-
plosions far exceeds that of the loss
of life from such explosions"
Mr.. Scaife is practical miner,
with years of experience behind
him, and was formerly mine in
spector in Illinois.
Happening daily, hourly" he
says, 1.-The falling roofs and caving
in of sides cause more deaths in a
year than do explosions in the
mines. There is an old saying that
it's the constant dropping that
wears away the rock. And this con-
slant killing, by ones and twos and
there's here and there at the mines
in every coal producing state u the
union destroys more life than do
the awful explosions that moment
arily horrify the public by carrying
off three and four hundred work.
men in one blast"
Every working day in the year
the lives of 10 miners are sacrificed
in this country in order that society
may be provided with fuel. More
than 5000 men are killed annually
in producing the nations coal sup
ply of approximately 430,000,00C
tons.
In the United States, for every
million tons of coal produced we
sacrifice 10 lives, while in Great
Britain the same amount of Goa
costs but as of human life. In Ger
many, France and Austria the sac
rifice is still less, as it would be in
Great Britain If it were not for the
fact that many of the mines are
generating the deadly fire damp
which is comparatively unknown in
America.
In Europe the provision of res
cue apparatus in and about mines
