cults, which has taken its place as sec
ond to no similar food product manufac-

GREATEST COPPER
 COUNTRY IN WORLD

of the mines 10 produce the are wa, concerned. An indifferent copper market and metallurgical difficulties, however, resulted in a dscrease in the output for 1910 for several districts.
 Probable Increased Production
 The Surveys estimate on January 2, 1912, indicates a copper output for 1911 greater than that of 1910 and nearly equal to the record production of 1909. It is further stated that most of the companies are now in q position to maintain or even increase their present output, so that, if the consumption of the metal will permit, the production of copper in the Unit ed States for 1912 may be expected to show marked increase. It is noteworthy that not one of tho lead. ing copper districts of the United States, several of which have been active producers for thirty years or more, has been worked out or shown a decrease in its ability to produce copper.
 Note;--f'rom the above figures, it will be seen that the four principal districts of the Copper State, Arizona. have produced 3,O72. .iOO,0 900 pounds of copper prior to 1911. The production for that year showed Arizona to he we'll m the lead of all the other cop. per'producing states. The new dis. tricts which will in the near future be placed in the heavy producing class will put the Copper State SO far in tho lead of all others, that she may well be considered the permanent leader in the production of the, red metal.

GLlMMER OF HOPE
 FOR STREET CARS
Council RevOkeS Its Order Regarding Forfeiture of Franchise After
 Due Reflection.
(,rom Tucsiay's Dailyj

Street cars may be running when thc summer season opens if the plans for reorganization now under way are effected lt was this possibility that influenced thc City Council to turn a sommcrsnglt at it. meeting last even. ing. At the February monthly meet. ing the Council had ordered . notfi. cation to be served upon Frank l.. Wright, president of the Prescott & Mount Onion Railway, that the fran. chisc would be forfeited if the ears were not placed in operation, this ac. tion being taken then upon the ground shat tho tracks intcrfered with pro. .iected street improvements. In the sntcrim leading citizens became inter. csted in saving the franchise and Councilman Heap voiced their views in vigorously opposing the proposed forfeiture. He stated that there was a mortgage of s25,0OO on the property held by a man in St. Louis: that it was proposed to give him preferred stock in the new company and that the stockholders would be given com. mon stock; that ten citizens had agreed each to buy . $500 bond in order 10 meet tho expense that would be necessary to place the tracks in condition. The Arizona Power com. pany, which formerly had received s250 D month for power, had offered Co furnish the power and do the electrical repair work for all of the net receipts from the operation of the road up to sl25. Any excess above that figure would go to the street car company, which if there would be no net receipts. the power company would reeeive nothing. Besides, there were certain expenses such as the rent of the car barn, etc., which would be donated, and the only actual expense tthat would be incurred would be the wages of two motormen. Mir. Heap pointed out that the reorganization would fail if the franchise were for. feited and that no one else would apply for a franchise because the car. line runs outside of the city limits on the private ground of Mir Wright
