DROP IN COPPER
CAUSES COMMENT
BUSINESS MUST INCREASE TO
RESTORE MARKET
Some Predict Metal Will Soon Conn.,
nand Fifteen cents-others Are
SkepticaI of Immediate
Future

Tomlinson's Mining Commercial
agency of Los Angeles has the follow
ing to say on the copper situation:
The continued downward tendency
in the price of copper has caused much
comment recently in the copper trade.
There are many who predict that cop
per will soon command price of about
Is cents a pound, while others do not
look so cheerfUlly upon the immediate
future. During the panic of last year
and the consequent cUrtailed consump-
ton of the metal all of the largest
producers cut down their usual pro-
duction. Since the revival in business
conditions throughout the country most
of the big producers have increased
their output.
1t is estimated by some Of the best
authorities that there is on hand a sur
plus Of about 250,00O,0OO pounds of the
red metal which is gradually finding
it's way into manufactured goods
There are many large projects that are
now being financed which mean the
erection Of large power plants, many
receiving this power from mountain
streams.
There is no denying the fact that
there is and always will be great de-
mand for copper if the price is main
tanned at a reasonable figure. On the
other hand, there is an immense pro-
duction that is coming into the mar
ket, and new copper properties are be-
ing opened up that promise to soou
become large producers.
This is especially true of many of the
camps of Arizona. The Miami Copper
company at Globe will be heard from
in another year. The passing of the
control of the GirouX property at Ely
New, into the hands of the Cole-Ryan
interests means that the production at
Ely will be greatly increased as sooa
as such results can be obtained after
proper changes have been made with
the plants and methods of mining it.
1t is estimated by some that there
will be produced this year 1000, ,00O
pounds more than last year. The con-
sumption Of copper for wiring pur-
poses is much below the normal, and
it appears to US that business through
out this country and abroad will have
to increase very materially before an
upward movement in the price OF the
metal may be expected.
Among the companies that are grad
ually increasing their output may be
mentioned the Greene-Cananea, Butte
Coalition, Old Dominion, Cumberland
Ely, Nevada Consolidated, Utah Cop
per, Shannon and the Arizona Com
mercial The latter company is now
building a smelter which is expected
will be blown in early in the coming

effected here and the danger to en-
ployes reduced to minimum.
Incidental with the glance strike on
the Swansea mine comes a report from
superintendent Brown that another
important ore body has been opened on
the MORO mine and a permanent camp
is being established at this point
On the recent visit of President
Mitchell. Thomas Carrigan and Pro-
fessor Treadwell to the mines the force
was increased materially, now number
ing 100 men.
A survey has been completed for the
town of Swansea, but no real estate
promotions are to be allowed until the
smelter is turning out bullion. A care
full measurement of the ore in sight
and ready for treatment at the smell
ter places it's value at $12,000,0 900, MAX

copper ventures recently f1oated out of

BELLEHELEN SHIPS THIRTY
FIVE SACKS OF HIGH GRADE

GOLDFIELD, Feb. 7.-Teams from
the property operated by Harvard &
Laurence at Bellehelen, southwest of
Helena, arrived in Goldfeld last week
bringing thirty-five sacks of ore from
the company workings, which were
turned over to the Nevada -Goldfield
reduction works.
1t is estimated that the ore is worth
about $125 a sack, and is expected to
average something over 5000 a ton.
Mr.. Harwood and Tom Withers, min
ing engineer, are now on the ground
surveying, with view Of granting
leases in the very near future.
A number of applications for ground
have been made, and it is thought

PHELPS-DODGE MAY
TAKE LUCKY TIGER
NEW YORK DEAL INVOLVES
LARGE SUM
Price Is Assumed to Be Over $5,ooo, 900
Cash, Based Upon Recent Re.
fusaI to Sell at That
Price

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Feb. THE stock
holders of the Lucky Tiger Gold Com
blnat1on Mining company are pleased
that another deal is on in New York
Tor the purpose of conSummating a sale
to the Phelps-Dodge company of that
remarkable property. At present the
president of the company, J. E. Suey,
together with all the directors of the
company, are in New York in confer
ence with the Phelps-Dodge officials.
1t was reported a short time ago
that the Phelps-Dodge company was
considering the purchase of this prop
erty, but for some, reason or other this
report was denied. But the intelligence
comes right from New York that the
Lucky Tiger officials are in New York
city, where they went for the purpose
of considering the trade whereby the
mine would pass to the great Copper
Queen interests
The price was not given out, but it is
known that the Kansas City people
were offered $5,00O,OO0 cash a short
time ago, and this figure was prompt
~ turned down. There was a deal on
Ioot with London company wherein
an offer of $6,500,00O was the considera-
ton. but this deal did not go through.
Did Not Explain
No explanation of the failure of this
trade to go through was given out to
the stockholders, but it was not on ac-
count of the examination of the prop
erty or the report of engineers who
represented the foreign company in
careful and exhaustive examinations.
1t will be remembered that this prop
erty was first sold to the Kansas CITY
people for the sum of $65O,OO0, B. F.
Graham having the bond on the prop
erty when the deal was made Since
this company secured the Tiger mines
there have been many offers of large
sums of money, but thus far no trade
has been made.
This property has been making a
wonderful showing, running very high
in silver and gold. The ore which has
been shipped to the several smelters
has netted immense returns and the
stockholders find their stock about
seven times above par.

FLORENCE TREATS NINETY
TONS A DAY AT NEW MILL

GOLDFIELD, Feb. Ninety tons a
day of dump ore are now being treated
by the new mill of the Florence. This
involves twenty stamps. The additional
twenty stamps, or a complete battery
of forty, the capacity, will be in run

All varieties of ore from the Florence
estate are being handled, and it is saiL
that the process is a success from every
standpoint. Three shifts are being en-
ployed, and the number of men will be
increased as conditions warrant.
The work of connecting up all deer
leases on Florence territory is well
under way, and a few weeks should see
d systematic plan upon which the big
corporation can proceed for the pay
ment of dividends. After the dump ore
is treated rock from the deep lease
workings will be handled.

PRESCOTT, Feb. Harrington
Blauvelt, general manager of the Cash
Mining company, who arrived here last
week from the Cash mine, says that the
main shaft has been unwatered to the
3O0-foot level and that a small force of
miners has been started in development
in the mine. The unwatering of the
shaft below the 300-foot station is in

Trial Run at Round Mountain

The first trial run and cleanup at the
mill of the Solid Gold Mining and Leas-
ing company at Round Mountain has
been made. A lot of ore estimated at
300 tons has been treated during the
past ten days, averaging between SIS
and $40
The first run was pronounced a sue
cess, and it is expected that the amount
of ore run through the mill will be
materially increased until the mill is
running to it's full capacity of sixty
tons a dy.
Besides the large amount of low
grade ore run, a dump containing
eighty tons of $66 ore was completed
recently. It yielded 175 pounds of
amalgam, the proceeds belonging to
the Round Mountain Daisy Mining
company.
