MINING INDUSTRY
 GROWING BRIGHTER

Within the past month there has been unmistakable improvement in in dustrial conditions throughout the country which go to make prosperity for mining enterprises, especially those engaged in the production of copper. The price of the red metal has heen showing strength and in crease for thirty days and i4-cent cop per is confidently predicted before the end of the summer.
 From every section of Arizona comes reports of increased activity in the copper districts. The splendid results during the past year at Court land has stimulated endeayor fin other Arizona districts possessing favorable surfIc il d C. tIchs pi the presence of the red metal.
 At Globe we hear of important re- suits recently and the several deyel- cpment companies operating there are pushing work with unabated vigor.
 In the Clifton Morenci district the Arizona Copper company, the Detroit and the Shannon-old producing com Ianies-have kept their operations up to the normal and the production there this year is expecues ~ equal that of last year. Besides these com panies the New England is continuing its ore shipments and lately there has been renewed energy manifested in various development propositions.

.l4 CENT COPPER
 FOR SEPTEMBER i
That is Prediction of One of the Lake Superior Pro-
 ducers

BOSTON, May 13.-The president of one of the large Lake Superior copper producers says: T was in New York this week, and naturally made inquir' ies of the best informed people in the trade as to the outlook for copper as they viewed it. I found that the ex- pectation is that by Sept. 1 copper will be selling at If cents per pound. It is not desirable that the price shall ad- vance too rapidly. as there is lot of copper to be absorbed, especially cleo trolytic. and this copper can best be taken if the price is not too hastily run up on the consuming interests.
 Practically all of the copper mines in this country are tCiay producing to the limit of their capacity. My com pany is operating 100 per cent of ca- pacity, and practically produced in 1908 every pound of which the shafts were capable Unlike iron and steel the output of which is being held in check, 1t will be impossible to expand the output of copper materially when the present improvement in general business gets fully under way. This should tend quickly to absorb the sur. plus accumulation and work for higher prices

From the Jerome district also comes good news from several development enterprises. while the old United Verde continues it's usual product. EN- perts are now making thorough exam ination of conditions at the Hum boldt smelter, near Prescott. with a view of putting that plant back into commission in the near future.
 In Pilal county several large deals have recently been announced which will iusure heavy development in the districts around Winkelman and Christmas.
 Down in Sonora there is visible awakening in the mining industry, es- pecially is this true in the Cananea district where several important deals are pending. the consnmmation Of either promising important investment of capital in the development of some of the good ground which has already made excellent showing.
 Cochise county is moving on in the usual way The heavy production of the Warren district goes steadily on while in the smaller districts the sounds of blasting and the whirr of developing machinery tells of remain ing confidence and determination. In the Johnson camp at Paradise. in the Swisshelms and at the Dos Cabezas are properties which promise to be- come early and imDortant producers.

DEVELOPMENT WORK
 ON THE CORONADO Phoenix Business Men Pleased With Property Near
 Florence

PHOENIX. May 13.-At a meeting of velopmelt company, held in this city last night, arrangements were made to continue development work on the 100 feet farther.
 La Coronado is owned by a syn dicate of Phoenix business and pro fessiolal men. The property is sit uated eighteen miles northeast of Flor ence. in one of the most richly miner alized districts of Arizona Develop ment work has been going forward steadily for some time and indications are very encouraging. Several ex perts who have examined the mine say unhesitatingly that large body of ore is almost certain to be uncovered and the members of the syndicate in tend to lose no time in proving it's existence.
 R. Reed, super ntendent Of the mine, came in from Florence Thursday, bringing with him about ten pounds of samples. The report which he made last night to the stockholders was very encouraging. He exhibited several certificates showing the samples which he brought in to be rich in gold. silver and copper.
 \ tunnel has been driven into the side of the hill and a shaft is now 100 feet deep and about two feet from the tunnel. At that point the ledge is three feet wide. In the middle is two feet of gold-bearing quartz and on each side six inches Of copper rock. Samples from two sides streaks were mixed together and they averaged 23.1 per cent coper. 08.41 in gold and q in silver. The total value of the min | eral carried. at the present price of copper. is s67.5e. Samples from the two feet of quartz in the middle ran $75 in gold. The average value of all the rock is 31.60 This is just the kind of ore mining men like to see. It is estimated that 1t will take from four to five weeks to sink anoth- CT 100 feet. Before the 200 foot level is reached it is expected that an ample supply of water will have been en- countered- At present there is only a litle water in the shaft.
 At La Coronado is one of the finest little camps in the territory. all fixed l up under the direction of supertendent Reed. The men now employed have ample accommodations in sanitary surroundings. The shaft is equipped with an automatic skip.

HEINZE IN UTAH.

SALT LAKE CITY. May 13.-Re- ports from Butte are to the effect that the relations between F. Augustus HeinZe and the Cole-Ryan crowd are very friendly. In this connection it is said that Heinze proposes to transfer his ore contracts in Montana and Utah to the International Smelting Co. which should be of value to this new concern jast embarking in the smelt- ing business.
 In Utah. Heinze is still large shareholder as well as director in Ohio Copper, and it is presumed that he will have great deal to say with re- gard to letting the contract for the treatment of concentrates from this property. Heinze also has a ten-year contract with the Silver King coali- ton Mines Co. for treating ores. In obtaining this contract Heinze obli- gated himself to build smelter in Utah. He has not compiled with his part of this agreement, and is now turning the product from the Coalition mines to the American Smelling Co. lead furnaces at Murray, Utah.

GOOD COPPER ORE
 INBL ACK CANYON

News from the Black Canyon dis trict is that a very promising ore body was uncovered recently in one of the locations of the Buckeye group of mines in that district, says the Ga zette.
 A. Starkweather of Phoenix. own ing an interest in the property. and the discoverer of the rich ore, con firmed the report after his arrival from the property
 Describing the find. Starkweather says that the paystreak in the shaft is Is inches in thickness, sampling 20 per cent in copper and small values in gold. The size of the ore body has not been demonstrated by crosscuts. A sample from the bottom of the shaft. leaving out the rich streak, gave aver age returns of 10 Der cent copper.
 Sinking was abandoned in the shaft

SALES OF.
 COPPER

NEW YORK. May 1.S-It is esti I, mated that sales of copper for do- nestle consumption and export dur ing the month of April aggregated a total of approximately S0,000.000 pounds. Sales were approxi- nately 30.000.00O pounds below production in this country, Canaoa and Mexico. but in this connection it can be stated that as a result or heavy transactions in March, the amount of copper disposed of in the two months was very close to pro duction.
 That large amount or this copper went into speculative hands, there is no question. Had the copper been pur- chased for actual consumption, prices for the metal would be mach higher than they are today Electrolytic cop per sold during the month brought an average of between 12 5-S to 12 3-4 cents a pound. Had it not been for heavy speculative offerings of copper, the price of the metal would have averaged much higher
 That the copper metal situation has improved cannot be denied, but not at he rate reported by certain interests who would benefit by an advance in copper stocks. Consump- tion of copper, So far, has followed very closely the movements of the steel industry. Steel production has increased between and 10 per cent over last month. and it is safe to assume that there has been cor responding improvement in copper. The brass and electric companies are using more copper, but consumption is still running at the rate of about 65 per cent of normal
 The Amalgamated Copper company is doing everything possible to cut down production costs in the Butte camp, and has been very successful so far. It will be surprising to cer tain copper interests to learn that the Boston and Montana recently showed costs of close to cents pound for the copper turned out in single month. This is the best rec ord the Boston and Montana com pany has made in many years. Amai- gamated interests still hold to the belief that, notwithstanding the fav- orable statements bearing upon the so-called low cost producers, the Butte district will continue to hold it's own with the new copper districts. It is argued that the deeper under ground the new companies go, the higher the cost of production.
 The report of the Anaconda Cop per company will be made pubic some time this month, and that Of the Amalgamated company in June. It Is generally known that the Ana condas was compelled to make heavy inroads into the surplus for the pur- pose of satisfying dividend require ments. It is possible that the Amal- gamated Copper company was forced to do the same. The Anaconda sui fered a severe loss fin earnings as a result of its policy of curtailment. The temporary closing of the mine cost the company in the neighborhood of $600,000.
 The report of the Amalgamated Copper company will also show the effects of the depression in the year 1908. The various copper companies ought to be able to make a much bet ter showing in 1909. If an improve ment in prices and consumption sets in sn the last half of the year. The copper companies are paying small CT dividends this year. and all of the leading mines ought to close 1909 with a satisfactory surplus.

 The ore crops out on the surface a distance of 15O0 feet The new find is on the east end of the shoot. A shallow shaft on the west end shows the same character of ore as the new find at the same depth, indicating that the shoot is continuous the entire distance.

BUTTE COALITION.

BUTTE. Mont. May 13.-The 16th level of the Minnie Healey ground run from the Tramway shaft has opened a big ore body. They have been in this vein for some time. consequently the management does not consider it a
 new strike" as they are simply open ing at depth the same vein and ore body on which mining has been done in the levels above.
 Conditions are extremely gratifying, as the ore body is evidently larger and richer than on the 18th, 14th and 18th levels.
 There Is little dougt expressed that the Butte Coalition will continue to expand in output and in importance among the Butte producers.

Some Sensible Talk.

Nearly every community has its
agitator. its brewer of trouble; and
some places have several. We can
hardly say that each community
boasts an agitator or a 'knocker;"
for he is a species that. is not much
of an uplift to a place, and the citi-
zens do not point to him with pride.
Mr.. Agitator generally is not blessed
with surplus of prosperity, and
looks upon himself as one deserving
of better situation but is kept down
by force of circumstances. AS he
cannot attain much success either fl
nancially or socially he takes partic-
ular pains to sheer at those who do
He SCOTS at any proposed new bust
ness enterprise for his town; he dis
courages newcomers to the place by
fastening to tell him the disadvan-
tages there; he wants a different
management of nearly everything
good, bad or Indifferent, and urges
others to help bring it about in fact
he keeps things in a turmoil most of
the time He is a master hand at
J tearing down but rarely assists in
| building up. Would that all the agi-
tators might use their energies tow

tive, more prosperous, and more desir-
able in every way for the abode of

thirds vote.
1t is question today whether the
Berkshire case shall be debated on its
merits, trusting to them to save the
bill or to educate the community so
that the bill will be likely to pass next
year, or whether the friends of the
bill shall accept a report of reference
to the next general court" as the best
thing they can do to save their face
from defeat.
1t is said that President Mellen
does not have the support of other
officials of the New Haven road in
the proposition to spend 100000 for
the development of Berkshire county,
and that by next year the situation
may be so far changed that the New
Haven road, which is now ready to
accept the trolley bill, will not be
disposed to accept the bill at all
This entire merger proposition is
before the railroad committee. 1t has
"a parliamentary basis for a union of
t-e Boston & Maine road with the
New Haven, as well as for a union of
the New Haven with trolley lines. In
a few days the committee will take
up the merger proposition in all its
phases
