FlNLAY ON COPPER MARKET.

John R. Finlay, the eminent author : ity on copper, is of the opinion that 1S-cent copper is a possibility for a three-year period if history repeats itself. Tn an interview with the Bos- ton News Bureau MT. Finlay says:
 Tt has been noticed that periods of high prices in copper have occurred at intervals of about eight years. It is further noticeable that the swings, when depicted on a chart. show two things: first, that after a. period Of low prices lasting from four to six years, the subsequent rise has brought prices, for the remainder of the eight year period, up to an average equal to about cents pound above the aver age for the low price years; second, that the production of copper does not f1uctuate with the price, but has steadily increased with scarcely even a pause. This is curiously different from the case of pig iron, in which the production as well as the price has fluctuated sharply.
 T believe that the continuance of these facts through a long period of years indicates the presence of an economic influence that is more cas- fly observed than explained, and that the swings in price will continue to repeat themselves. Apparently the demand for copper continues to force up the price for two or three years after it has overtaken the supply, and it is only after experience has shown that copper can be bought only at eX- horbitant prices enough to allow a surplus to accumulate and the price fall
 Tt is interesting to figure out what prices will be reached for copper in the next few years if the above rule holds. We have had a period of more than four years during which the price of copper has been about 13 cents From this approximate level it has now risen to 16 cents. If history is to repeat itself, the rise should con- tinue and we should enter period oi three years during which prices will average Is cents.
 Last year I remarked that the price of copper although constantly chang ing, seemed generally to have been rising since 1894 The developments show only a minor swing, but so far direction Several good observers with whom l have talked have enter- tained the idea that the price of cop- in comparison with other metals, be proportionate supply. Such a per manent rise seems to have taken place in the price of tin. Another eX- ample of a permanent change in met- al prices is given by the case of sil yer, which seems to have fallen to less than half of it's traditional value,

MINER DISCOVERS FAMOUS LOST MINE WHEN HORSE STUM-
 BLES INTO SHAFT

Nogales, May 2e.-Last week, while riding over tn ehills west of Tumac- acori, MT. Alfonso Bachellier, Jr., stumbled upon an old abandoned mine, which had been covered up long ago. His horses leg broke through the cOv- ering, nearly breaking the limb. Stopping to make examination MT.
 B chellier found that under the GOV ering through which his horse had broken there was considerable excava- tion and well defined ledge. He brought into Nogales some of the rock which assayed one and three-quarter ounces in gold and some silver. From data that has been culled from the old records of the Tumacacori mission, it is believed that the find made by MT. Bachellier is the Guadalupe mine that was worked by the friars at Yum acanori more than a century ago. Many have had copies of the records and have made fruitless search. This find follows from the land marks that have been studied by so many without result

PRICES OF CATTLE
 ARE MUCH HIGHER

Fl Paso, May 21.-Cattle are thirty per cent higher in price this season than last. This fact was learned yes terday afternoon from one of the best authorities in cattle circles through out Texas, who when asked for req son regarding the increased prices, said that it was due to the scarcity of cattle in the United States, together with the innumerable losses of stock in the northern pastures this past win ter.
 This year the Dakotas, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and principally Colorado, experienced one of the severest win ters for decades, in which thousands of cattle were either frozen to death or were lost in the heavy snow drifts of the mountain ranges. That has had much to do with the advanced price of cattle.
 The small importations of Mexican cattle across the border, owing to the political trouble, the cattleman assert has had little or no effect upon the existing prices, because, he added, Mexico could ship all of her stock in- to the United States without affecting the market.

 More definite news must be received from the properties, however, before it will be possible to determine the importance of the latest developments, and in the meantime it is quite likely that the shares will continue to show marked irregularity. What should not be forgotten, however, is that the results of the latest diamond drilling afford no reason to change the belief, based on previous drill work at the Mayhower, that the two properties in question have a big comm ercial lode It is true, perhaps, that the stock mar ket had been discounting the future of these properties in too reckless a fash ion, but it is hard to believe that the present price of S10 or $11 a share is excessive for the shares of properties of such great promise especially when these prices are considered in connec- tion with those at which the shares of other diamond drill enterprises are selling.

Capacity of Concentrator to be
 Increased to 1000 Tons
Will Build New Crushing and Sam
 bling Mill and Put in Skips.

The sInelter production of the Old Dominion for April was 2,150,0O3 pounds of fine copper. The manage ment does not expect to materially in crease the production until the milling capacity has been increased.
 Appropriations have been made for construction work that will involve the expenditure of $6OO,OOO during the next two years. The work includes the improvement and enlargement Of the concentrator that will increase it's capacity from 500 tons to 1000 tons per day, and the construction of a new crushing and sampling mill, all con centration to he of steel and concrete.
 H. Kenyon Burch, designer of the Miami, and other large concentrators, will have charge of the work.
 Changes will also be made whereby ore will be hoisted in ,skips instead of cages thereby increasing hoisting capa- city.
 The erection of the new hue and dust chamber for the converter plaut will be started in about ten days.
 The shaft is being sunk from the l 9th to the 18th level.
