MARKED IMPROVE MENT IN METAL
 SITUATION
EIectrolytic Advanced to 16N Cents But Copper Makes a SineuIarIy Poor Response-TheA Anaconda
 Annua Report.

The past week has witnessed dis tinct change for the better in the cop per situation, and whereas several days ago it was feared that the metal was about to undergo sharp break, the trade is now beginning to appre- bend an advance which in the end may do more harm than good. At any rate, the demand for the metal has been such as to enable the leading selling agencies to lift their quotation or electrolytic for July delivery to 16A cents, and that there has been ample justification for this step has been attested by the action of Calumet & Hecla in advancing it's own quota tion to 163s cents, although up to a late hour nobusiness has been booked at that figure Confidence in the strength of the metal situation has been materially enhanced, of course, by the decrease of 4,01S tons, or more than 9,000,00O pounds, in the foreign visible supply during the first two weeks of May. The foreign supply is now down to 112,261 ,000 pounds, which is the lowest level it has reacE- ed since back in September 1908, and is 142,000,000 pounds below it's high level in March 191G.
 Singularly enough, however, these developments were practically with
  for the most part, have given an ex- tremely unsatisfactory account of themselves. While traders have not had the temerity to commit them selves to the short side of these issues to any great extent, on the other hand there has been no buying power worthy of the name. This has un- doubtedly been due in considerable measure to the weeks violent slump in Mayflower and Old Colony, grow ing out of disappointing diamond drill developments at those properties but the chief reason has been that there has been no evidence whatever of ac tive operations for the rise by inside interests. Of course, it is impossible to be other than bullish on the coppers when the metal is advancing at the rate that has been witnessed during the past few days, but public buying on a broad scale cannot be expected to set in until the cue is given by the leadership of insiders.

CLARA MINING COM- PANY |S AGAIN
 PROGRAMMED
Syndicate Formed in France and Hol- land to Take Over Mine; Will
 Develop the Property.

Prescott The Wholesalers Board of Trade of Los Angeles has issued
 a statement concerning the new line
 up on the Clara Consolidated Gold
 and Copper Mining company's affairs
 That organization, through it's credi-
 tors committee, says
 We beg to advise that the syndicate
 has been formed il, France and Hol-
 land for the purpose eff taking over
 this property upon the following terms:
 A new corporation is to be organ iZed, to be known as the Swansea Con- solidated Gold and Copper Mining con- pany, with a capital stock of $4,000, ,000 divided into 4,000,000 shares of the par value of $1 each.
 The Clara company is to transfer to the Swansea all property and receive for its shareholders 100000 shares. The syndicate is to receive 2,000,000 shares, for which it is to advance the sum of $2SO,000 for the purpose of opening up the property and provid- ing working capital.
 The debts of the Clara Consolidated Gold and Copper Mining company are to be assumed and paid by the Swan sea company in instaIlments of one third on the 18th of December, 1912, one-third on the 18th of February, 1913 and one-third on the 18th of March, 1913; together with interest at the rate of per cent per annum. The syndicate is also to acquire, by trad ing in stock of the new corporation, a majority of the stock of the railroad company, and deliver it to the Swan sea company.
 The bonded indebtedness is assum- ed by the Swansea company and all interest coupons due to date will be paid and kept up promptly.
 Of the $2SO,O00 mentioned, only $170,000 is available at this time, which is sufficient to pay off all labor claims: all expenses of receiver in bankruptcy, past due interest on the bonds now under default; interest on bonds soon to become due; taxes and other preferred claims, and also pro vides a sum sufficient to start the mine and the smelter running to it's full capacity and to keep them run ming until the mine is self-supporting. after which, the balance of these funds will be turned over to this company.
 At meeting of the creditors com , mittee, held at the Board of Trade on May 3rd, there was represented about $130,000 out of a total of $140,000 of the unsecured indebtedness, and it was agreed to accept the proposition contained in the agreement which is hereby sent you for signature, and we will therefore request that you exc cute and return one copy and retain the other for your files. The commit | tee considers that this is the best set clement that can be obtained under the circumstances, and that if the Swansea company does not make good the creditors will be in better posi- tion than they are at present. This proceeding will get rid of the bank ruptcy, the interest on the bonded in- debtedness will be paid, and the pro- perty will obtain working capital

GREAT WESTERN SHIPS
 21 CARS ORE WEEKLY
Coprt,ard has Trebled it's Output Dur
 ing the Past Year.


 w. J. Young, president of the Great Western Mining Company, op- erating at Courtland, accompanied by his manager, W. J. Mcbride, was in Douglas this morning, coming down in MT. Young's car.
 Mir. Young stated that at present his company is shipping an average of twenty-one cars of ore per week to the smelter at Fl Paso. This IS about three times as much ore as was being shipped by the company one year ago. All this ore is now coming from above the three hundred foot level, which is the maximum depth reached in the district.
 MT. Young stated that the grade of ore was quite satisfactory as it had been since the Great Western began production and that the present price of copper was the distinctly agreeable feature in the operations of the com pany.

NEW SHELTER OF A. c.
 COMPANY AT CLIFTON

Rapid progress is being made in preparations for the site of Arizona Copper company's new shelter below Clifton, Ariz. The cost. of the smell ter is to be paid by the issuance Of ? 2,50O, ,000S in debentures, and two-thirds of the issue already has been subscri2- ed within the company. mainly at it's headquarters in Edinburgh, Scotland. The past year has been very profit able one for the company, the best in it's twenty-eight years of operation. During the year the profit was S205.- 900 over that for the previous year, though the output sold at a generally lower price. This profit mainly came through bettered methods of opera tion and reduction, and still further reduction is expected through the operation of the new works. The out put per month is now held around 5000 pounds of copper.
 Last week a two-mile tunnel of the Arizona Copper company was com pleted to Metcalf, starting from T shaft at No concentrator. The work has been from both ends and the centre joined almost exactly. It is probable that the tunnel will be con tinued on to the Colorado property md that it will carry large part of the eompany's concentrating ores Copper Belt.
