The time of the year Is at hand when the amateur gardener or plant CT, impelled in the early spring to do more planting by the good examples of his neighbors, is beginning to won der whether he has not made the mistake of setting out too many plants to care for properly at this season. It goes without sayng that the keeping up of beautiful nome grounds under our arid conditions requires no little attention in the way of irrigation and cultivation. especially during the dry. hot fore summers. The question as to how often trees and other ornamental or shade plants should be watered in order to make an entirely satisfactory
 growth naturally occurs to many of us at this season. It is difficult to give a fair answer to suca question as this. as doubtless many interested
 parties who have asked the writer have found out. on account Of nuumer- ous local matters which influence in one way or another the amount Of moisture in the soil. Grounds that are well shaded and otherwise protected from drying winds retain moisture longer than those less favorabiy .o- cated. Very sandy soils absorb and give up water more read ly than those having a proportion Of clay and or zanic matter. It needs hardly be said to be appreciated that plans growing in deep so'ls do not require watering as frequently as similar plants grow ing in shallow soils, and this Is one of the reasons why the writer has so of ten urged the digging of wide, deep holes in the planting of trees More than this. deep soils store more of the annual rainfall than shallow soils can. and hence plants growing in them re- quire less water to be supplied by means of irrigation Stirring the top soil with hoe to a depth of three or four inches deep will prevent to cons derabie extent evaporation of moisture faom the ground In Califor-

It is in this zone that the development in Courtland has been carried on principally so far. The leacned zone has much to do with thes ulphide zone below, for the supposition is naturally that the greater the depth of the leachei zone since this supplies the sJilpnide zone below it, the greater the value. rich nes and extent of the sulphide bodies below. The ores below the leach are secondarily enriched by this leach ing and it Is probably the assurances the companies have in this zone at Courtland which accounts for their preparations now to go down into the oxides and sulphides. It is not necessary to go into the true sul- phides 10 nave a rich mine. for at Butte the leacn bodies supply the smelters as yet. The third or oxide stage. usually carries rich oxides and carbonates. and occasional chlorides and silicates, but it is the fourth zone or the secondarily enrich suiphides that the average mining company desires to get into, as this carries be- sides the sulphides themselves. which sUppiy more than half the copper production of the world today. ,iialco- cite, and bornite, with occasional eovellite.
 The lien of demarkation between the third and fourth zone is not very definite in many districts. As in the sosSan, the zone of secondary en- richment varies greatly, and it's
 value depends upon the time of Ieaca ing from above, and erosion on the i surface. The fifth zone to be reached contains usually chalcopyrite. usually combined or associated with pyrite.~ or chalcocite showing in thin films
 or grains of pyrite. This zone has usually proven to depreciate in value with continued depth, til the mines l have been abandoned.

 The Mary shaft of the Great Vest ern also will be sunk to lower levels and the future of Courtland should be pretty well established and made plain by the end of summer.

Arizona in this district the properties of the Superior and Pittsburg are al ways included. both being under the same management IL can be said truly that these properties never were in better condition or giving greater assurance for the future. The C. & A. continues work at three points. From Oliver and Mag shafts is being taken an abundance of ore daily to meet the desired output. At the Powell shaft the work is purely development as yet, though the bottom of the shaft now 55 feet deep. is in promis- ing ground. It Twill not be fong until the first station will be cut in the Powell shaft at the 600Ievel and from this point crosscutting towards the Shattuck property and in the opposite direction will begin. This work will start with almost absolute certainty that important ore bodies will be en- tered
 The Superior & Pittsburg's working shifts are now the Cole, Junction and Hoatson. All are producing ore suf- fiicient for a monthly copper output of 2.3Oes0Oo. This output could easily be increased if desired The develop ment work continues in the lower lev els of these shafts and results con tinue to prove the ground The best showing today. not only in the s. & P. shafts. but in all the workings Of the district are found at the deepest levels. Those well acquainted with the s. & P. ground declare that the country between the Hoatson. Junc- ton and Briggs will astonish even these having the greatest confidence in the Warren district when it is prop erly explored. Crosscuts are now be- ing run into this promising country from both the Hoatson and Junction.
 In the No. 3 shaft. the property oI the orosiaal Lake Superior & Pitts burg company. in the vicinity of Don Luis, considerable good ore is. now being taken from the surface work ings. This old shaft is connected with the 16OIeveI of the Cole shaft.
 On the payrolls of the C. & A. and s. & p. are now over 1900 men. show ing that these companies are almost at the maximum in the mater of oper- ation.
 Speaking of the probable life of the mining industry in the Warren dis trict this week, prominent mining man here said that from the opinions of the best geological men in the coun- try who have carefully examined the ground even a very young man will not live to see any scarcity of ore.

COPPER ID ADVANCE
 --1~- Big Interests Backing Better Class Stocks-ShouId Buy
 Within Thirty Days INDICATIONS POINT TO CONCENTRATED MOVEMENT
{ By Flank J. Grail

The opportunity which we have been awaiting for some time in our opinion is near at hand, and those that are contemplating making investments in mining stock should give th's matter some attention From indications of the past two weeks it is evident that there is a concentrated movement among the big interests to make the better class of mining shares. and particularly copper stocks active and with advancing prices. While as a general thing we do not recommend basty buying of copper shares l feel that at this time the outlook Is so bright that l feel that prospective buyers can take advantage of the present opportunity. There is. how ever, one thing certain. stocks have got to be bought up within the next sixty to ninety days. for the copper metal market is not going to stay at 13 cents for any definite length of time. There are many low-pr;ced is sues that are selling below their val ues today. and on the other hand there are many high-priced stocks that are ceiling too high

The past week has been one of reassurance in the Warren district, the principal event being the starting Of two additional furnaces at the Cop per Queen shelter in Douglas. This plant relies almost wholly on the War ren district for its supply of ore. Aside from the concentrates from the Moe tezuma Copper company at Naco- zari the nine furnaces now in blast al the Queen smelter are fed from ores from the Copper Queen mines in this district. The two additional fur naces put into commission during the week each has a capacity of 500 tons daily. This increased smelting capac- ity points to an increased ore produc- tion on the part of the Queen. though this may not result at once because of the large ore reserves stored in the pits at the smelter The work of con meeting all the Queen shafts with the Sacramento, up which all ores are planned to be hoisted. continues to make good progress. though all planned work in connection with this new and modern system will not be complete for several months. All the workings in the Queen properties con tinue to give satisfactory results and prove that the mining industry in this district has only been fairly started Referring to the Copper Queen smelt- ing plant again it may not be out of place here to call attention to it's magnitude. It consists of ten blast furnaces each with a daily capacity of 800 tons. These furnaces are in building goo feet long. 250 feet having been added during the past two years, room thus being provided for three additional furnaces. For this extra equipment the required power has been partially installed in a fifty foot addition to the power house
 General Manager Walter Douglas, of the Queen. returned from a trip to New York this week. He is well pleased with the steady improvement in the general business condition through out the country. In his opinion when the tariff discussion ends in Washing ton the large industrial enterprises will quickly resume maximum opera tions. He is especially pleased with the action of the copper market and exrects to see the pr-se for the red metal better during the present year The surplus copper now on the mar ket does not amount to more than the Troduction for two months. The surplus was not increased during the month of April and a decrease is looked for as result of operations in May

 The HeIvetia
 Heivetia's recently levied assess ment of 50 cents per share is now due. It will give the company $95.000 cash for add itional working capital. This stock will probably be listed on the Boston Stock exchange very soon. Heivetia is DO lcnger a prospect: 1t Is a mine. With the showing it has de- veloped yn it's Copper World and Leader properties it's stock is worth and entitled to sell at s20 per share All it needs is one more assessment fs1.50 CT g to pay fer the con struction and equipment of eighteen miles of railroad between the mine and the Southern Pacific.
