The copper industry. is feeling bet ter if we may judge from the marke quotations for the metal and the de lnand for copper shares by the pup lie. The, wisdom of curtailment o output is being recognized. Consum CTS discovering that the miners ar' rsarv in earnest in their desire t' reduce. the visible surplus, are goin into market fearing that stocks ma get so low as to cause big increase in the price. Orders have been ol good s,ze and are plentifai onoug 10 show that there Is much ;;oinS oI in the manufacture branches O the industry. The use of the meta must increase as it is being employed in great quantity in new fields aii, for new purposes The elecuiflcatp of railways is not the only place where copper is demanded. The elec trification of the mines has only just started. We have samples of th' in the Ishpeming field where several mining organizations are empioyin electricity for power in hcisune pumping. tramming. etc. Power Ssa tsons are being erected at several uoints along the rivers of this region the water powers are going 10 utilized and the work has only ose- started. That which is true of the Ishpeniing district is also applscabi to thousands of other places. Tn conducting of electricity needs cor per cables.
 And after ali the talk by the sro noters there hasn't been many mines added to the list of shipper in the several prominent producing camps of this country. Ia Michies. we have no additions of any grea value for the past several years New' mines come slowly and many pTops' ties from which much may have been expected have thus far failed Hf mat erSalization It takes many years t get a mine to the productive stage in the Michigan country. The shafts are generally deep. the veins rather narrow and many ley,sls have to b, opened and developed to provide | rock for the modern mill. The m crease demand from the consumer should in. a healthy business con dition keep pace with all the new mines that can be presented Int trouble has been with the industry the past few years that the mines did not handle their affairs with
 keeness that would have re,ieve6 them from a, very low price an, sluggish market
 In Arizona which is pretty nearly at the top Of the lis. in the states productive of copper, few new mii.e have been added in the past severaI years. At Bisbee thete is the Shsi tuck which has finally concluded tt go to the smelters with its ores. ! is developing a property said to be looking well and is paying to snare oders a dollar per quarter in tho way of dividends. At th's its share are selling at very low figure The Superior & Pittsburg company of Bisbee, has developed very fine ere bodies that look better witf each succeeding day. but they sr mining in a very quiet way, following out the general plan of the principal producers of the metal Tnis com pany, could maKe considerable ad dition to it's tonnage if it so desired The Copper Queen. of Bisbee contin ues 10 keep up its usual ayeraae w:tf' its nIines looking well
 So that Bisbee has oniy one nsS producers to add to the tonnage. The Courtand district, thirty-fiye mile away from Bisbee, and for which s, much was promised few years ago. has not yet shown that it will be 0 Importance in years to come. A li...s.e ore is being shipped, but operations there are Of a very quiet nature ant it dnssn't lopk well for the furtue of the camp at this time.
 Aside from Old Dominion there is nothing producing in the Globe. Ari zona. district but Miami expects t be doing something early in the c.m irg year. its plant being nearly ready for business This property is a low grade porphyry. and it is figured that it can make It's pounds of cop per for about nine cents. It has 6se veloped a large tonnage Of ores ant hopes by treating large voIurnes ts manufacture copper cheap enough to gain a profit The men who contro this enterprise aresbelievers in fail price and are nov doing their fui share in restriction of output There will be na copper deiuge from thii source to drown out the market
 Live Oak is another property ioost
 ed not far from Miami. It is develop ing it's ore bodies in the propnyry belt It has yet to finance it's affairs and then has mills to construct which will consume a year or more at least, So there will be no gair rpm the Globe camp aside f1om Miami for some time in the future Other properties in that sect'on foI which much was promised, like G,obe Consolidated and others. have yet to prove their ore deposits. none meriting the distinction of being a nine having as yet beeh opened.
 All the other camps in this field are showing no great gains that
