PROGRESS IN PAVING is
MADE BY CONTRACTORS
Concrete is Finished, Lee to

Lamar street, between the Windsor
Hotel and the artesian well, is now
ready for the paving blocks, so far as
the concrete crust covering the street
is concerned 1t has required four
days to put down this solid base OF
cement and Stag, four inches in thick
ness and of adamantine consistency.
When this is thoroughly hardened,
which process will require several
days yet, the paving force will start
putting down the creosoted blocks pill

face of Lamar street, and upon this
sand will be placed the block cubes,
three inches in thickness. This max s

CITY GETS HALF OF
ACCRUED INTEREST
This Is Settlement In the
Bond Matter

The differences between the pur
chasers of the bond issues and the
City of Americas, have been satlslo
torily adjusted
Under the arrangement that has
been made the city will receive one
half of the accrued interest on the
bonds, amounting to 1922.
Hambleton e Co., the bond purchas-
ers, objected to paying accrued inter
est because Of the great delay on the
part of the city in providing the nee
essary legal information as to the
valuation of the bonds and other data
desired by them. The bonds were also
printed wrong and had to be reprint
ed. The delays, the purchasers claim
ed, We're injurious to them asd caus-
ed them loss in handling the bonds.
On the part of the city it was claim
ed that the firm buying the bonds
was not definite enough in its re-
quests for information. 1t was ac-
knowledged, though, that there had
been considerable delay for which the
purchasers We're not responsible.
The settlement by the payment Of
one-half of the accrued interest TO
the city is regarded as an equitable
adjustment of the matter.

question everything Indicating an improvement in conditions
 When heavy sales were reported they were construed a bear factor on the ground that buyers had satis fled their requirements and would need nc Iaore copper for 6 long time. If exports increased 1t was argued that this copper was being shipped abroad and stored secretly where it would not figure in the visible supply, or that 1t had been put on lights and towed out in the bay to create a favorable in. fiuence OF the statistics published monthly.
 The increased productive capacity of old mines, prospective large out put of new ones and the large wis. ible supply have been the only cop per matters on which one could ge, a hearing in the past two years. The refusal of the public to con sider the probability of a contin uiDg rapid increase in consumption should be excused perhaps on the ground that no accurate figures oi consumption were available.
 Nevertheless it is the growing use of copper in electrical. brass making. building and other con structive work that is re-establlshine the industry on a substantial, healthy basis.
 If the price of copper had been maintained continuously at 14 OF II cents with an unlimited supply sC meet all demand for the past 9 or 40 years, the annual consumption would probably now be from 2; to 50 per cent greater than it is The tendency has always been foi consumption to grow faster than pro

duetion: but consumption has been discouraged and received severe cheeks from time to time by sharp and often uncomfortable advances in prices. When copper sells at 6 prohibitive price other metals and materials are substituted and the substitutfons always tend to create habit of their continued use. Thus we see galvanized iron, zinc. lead, tin. etc. used where copper would serve the purpose much better and in the end be incomparsbly cheaper.
 One Of the arguments often ad vanced by those who are bearish on copper. and one that has been worked in the past year. Is that ualike most other metals. it does zot wear out. but returns to the market in the form of scrap, is remeIted and used over and over again. It should be remembered that this custom was established in the bronze age or previously and has continued ever since. It is no more bear argument now than 1t was when copper sold around II cents in 1902. or during it's subsequent ad- vance from that price to 26 cents The chief significance of this re use of old copper is that 1t proves conclusively that the worlds con sumption has always. with the ex ception of brief periods of business depression. greatly exceeded th current production of the mines.
 The world has just fairly entered upon an electrical age. Electrification of steam railroads has only begun Electricity has taken the place the horse and mule on street rail ways ali over the werld-except on a few lines in the city of New York manufacturing plants are eiectri lying quite generally. and the dem onstration that hydro-eleetrie gener- ation is the cheapest power obtain able is beginning to be reflected in a reduced annual increase in coal consumption.
 Electric smelting. the Axatien of nitrogen for the atmosphere by electric process for agricultural plr- poses, and for the separation of pot ash from feldspars and other rocks, are only a few of the new uses to which this subtle power Is being pvt. When identification of rail roads reaches the stage of real pop alarity. the mines of the world will not be able to supply the demand for copper, DO matter what the price may be.
 There is great prosperity ahead for the copper industry. Those mining companies that have been extract ing thousands of tons of ore daily in an effort to continue dividends on a 12-cent copper market have been practically wasting resources which would some time in ths fJ- ture yield several times over the current amount of profit to their stockholders. The only other way this action can be construed is as a philanthropy to the present gen eratiop of copper consumers.

BOOM IN COPPER SURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE;
 OPINION OF WALKER
(By Geo. U. WaIker.l

Copper continues firm. Lake is Iz S-4 cents and efectrolytic 1S 5-s to 12 s-4 cents a pound. Consumption in Europe is reaching larger proportions than ever before and there is a steady decline in the European stocks. The foreign visible supply of copper showed decrease Of 4.g2l,- 2Se pounds in the first half of June. Following a reduction of 12,- 231, 40 pounds in May, this brings the foreign visible supply down to 157.731. $40 pounds, which is the smallest total since July l. 1909.
 Domestic consumers, although not anticipating needs to any extent. are replenishing stocks here and there, in consequence of which there have heen some fair orders for the metal. The buying orders from foreign and domestic sources together has en- abled many producers to sell their productions ahead for two or three months. and has generally created a better sentiment among the trade.
 For a year past the trade and the public has teea extremely and un- reascnstl bearish on copper. Its ex- treme pessimism has led the, public to believe every report that could be construed as unfavorabie and tc

FL TIGRE POWER
 LINE OPERATING

The Fl Tigre power line has been In successful operation for the past week and the new mill of the Tigre company is being driven by power generated ia Douglas.
 The line is sixty-five miles long being 10 miles shorter than the com bined rail and stage route from Douglas to the Tigre mill From the step-up sub-station the line runs due south, crossing the NacOzari rail road in three places, lo a poinJ about a mile below Fronteras, thence tR practically an air line southeasterly to Fl Tigre.
 Technically, the line is known as a single circuit. three-phase, 60 cycle. 44.000 volts transmission system, the three number wires being spaced in the form of an equilateral triangle six feet apart It is supported on wooden poles. 35 feet long, set five feet six inches in the ground. The poles are zine treated throughout and have the additional protection of creoseted butts. which it is believ- ed will insure long life
 The generating plant at the Copper Queen shelter is of the latest type, and has two General Electric. hori- zontaI. low pressure, turbo-generators of 750 kw. capacity. one alone being large enough to supply the Fl Tigre company's requirements. The switch board is of the Westinghouse make and is a model of neatness; It IS sup piled with all the instruments neces- sary to insure accurate measurement of the current. From the generator bus bars the current is taken at a voltage. of z,3eo through an under grount cable. about TOO feet, to the step-up sub-station where the pres sure of the current is increased to f4,0Oo volts and 1t goes to the line. To accomplish this step-up operation four transformers made by the Gen eral Electric company. of 400 kw rated capacity each, are installed, one being used as a spare. in case oi accident
 At EI Tigre similar equipment but of lower capacity. sze kw. eacn is installed. and the pressure is re duced from line voltage to distrib uting voltage of 40 volts
 For convenience and insurance against interruption a telephone sys tenn is installed on the transmission poles. the wires being located sever fleet below the main wires
