APACHE BOX MINE
 UNDER DEVELOPMENT

The Apache Box gold mine near the New Mexico line, which was re- gently sold to Smith Bros.,. of Spring field and Boston, and associates, for S500,000 is partly owned by Douglas and Bisbee men, who though the property is to be exploited by Smith Brothers, have retained their inter- est in the property.
 The Douglas stockholders are the well known firm of Worthington and Pickard, mining engineers and as- savers, and John Campbell and Dr. . Craig and c. E. Bean, of Bisbee
 The deal was made in Fl Paso when MT. Worthington was there and the selling parties were w N- Small and John Kniffin.
 Smith Brothers and their associates Messrs Worthington, Pickard, Craie, Campbell, and Bean, intend to proceed at once with the erection of a 2OO-ton reduction mill at the mine and the system will be that of fine grading and cv2nide. Other improvements are pnlaned and as the mine is mak- ing a splendid showing it bids fair to be one of the biggest producers opened up in that section for years

Details of Murder of innocent Man as ae Sat on Front Porch of
 His Home

Silver City, June 6.-Details of the shooting affray in Mogollon several days ago ih which B. E. Simmons lost his life, which were brought to light in the evidence at the coroner's in quest, throw quite different aspect upon the matter than that given in the earlier stories that came out and in dicate that the constable, Baca, was very. much to blame in the matter Judging by the feeling the affair. aroused in MogolIon against; Baca, his removal to the Socorro jail by Sheriff James was lucky thing for him
 Accrding to the evidence given at the coroner's induest, Baca was under the influence of liquor the Saturday evening of the shooting. He spoke to Mrs. Simmons on the street, and te this Simmons objected. When he met Baca later in a saloon he told him he did not want him talking to his wife when he was drunk. This angered Baca and de drew a gun Simmons calmly said he was unarnl- ed, and friends of Baca got him cooled off A little later i5aca, having arm ed himself with Winchester, and ac- companied by two ether men, went to Simmons house fov the purpose of arresting him. It was about 8 o'cl6ck and bright moonlight Baca called out to Simmons that he was under ar rest and Simmons replied that if he was to be arrested it would be by Deputy Sheriff Hately. Baca there upon fired and Simmons fell. One of the other men was about to shoot Sim mons as he lay on the floor, and was only prevented by Mrs. Simmons, who stood over her husband and brushed the mans weapon aside Even the children clung to the officers and pleaded for their fathers life. Following the, shooting. Baca and his men ransacked the house in an effort to find arms, and carried off as evi 'dence a 22 calibre pistol which belong ed to the boy but for which there were no cartridges Simmons was unarm- ed. He was hit with soft-nosed bull let which shattered his hip terribly. He lived until Wednesday.
 Sheriff James arrived from Socorro as soon as he coulS on being inform ed of the shooting, and following the death of Simmons arrested Baca and took him to Socorro.
 The affair aroused popular indigna 1ion in Mogollon to a high pitch, as Simmons was steady, industrious man and highly respected in the camp.

GREEN cANANEA IS
 INCREASING PROFITS.

Having overcome labor troubles which materially reduced production in February and March to around 2,500,000 lbs, the April production oi the Green Cananea company amount ed to 4,600,000 lbs, at a cost of about S300,000. This is nearly at the rate of nearly $f.50 per annum, and if maintained as it can and will be, should justify higher prices for the stock.
 The company's annual report, soon to be issued, will show net quick as sets of $3,000,000 and earnings for the 1911 year of S1,200,0O0 or 4S>>cents per share, but these earnings were derived from copper which averaged Green Cananea but 12A cents for 1911.

WALKERS WEEKLY
 COPPER LETTER

Geo. l.. Walker, writing in the Bos
 ton Commercial says:
 Copper is firm and in position tc
 score another advance. Lake anG electrolytic are both quoted at 16 g.
 cents a pound. There has been heavy domestic buying during the week fo,
 August and September delivery Or ders were plentiful also for June and July copper. Foreign consumers are clamoring for the metal and export transactions continue in large vol tune. For the first twenty-five day S of May exports tota1led 61,48S,0O] pounds, which compared with 53,252,- 326 fort he full month of April, and 5S,- 779,566 for March.
 Statistic for the first four months of the current year, make it plain that consumption is increasing much more rapidly than production During this time production aI1d imports have amounted to 4S6,532,SO7 pounds as compared with 474,142, 191 pounds for the corresponding reriod in 1911, and 466, ,S04 ,S86 pounds iu 1910, a gain of 2.8 per cent and Az per cent respec- lively In the same time total deliv- cries have aggregated 510,921, ,475 pounds, an increase of SO,304, ,991 pounds, or 1S.7 per cent over the same period in 1911, and 44,334,635, or 95 per cent over 1910.
 Domestic deliveries up to April 20. amounted to 255, ,573,5S1 pounds, 8 gain of 44,4S7, 5S7 pounds, or 21. : per cent over the same period in 191, For the first four months of 1910, however, domestic deliveries amoun| pounds more than u the same time this year.
 Consumption i'll this country is fast catching up with the volume shown in 1910. Whereas for the first four months in 1911 domestic deliveries with 1910, or a decline of 30 per cent, this years figures, as stated above, show a gain over 1911, of 21. 1 per cent.
 Exports have shown steady in- crease in the past three years. Up to April 30, this year, total shipments abroad amounted to 255, 5,347, 1892 pounds a gain of 35,817, 40S pounds over 1911, or 163 per cent, and 64,36S,532 pounds over 1910, or B. 6 per cent.
 Less than year ago the trade wss worried for fear that the increased production of 1912, would swamp the market and cause copper to sell at II cents. Now it is fearful, and has good reason for being so, that the coming increase in production will not be in sufficient volume to assure no higher prices for the metal. If domestic consumption continues to grow at the present rate and there is no let-up in the foreign demand, the coming short agc in the copper supply will be felt acutely before the end of this year

the required amount of labor that IS necessary to hold a mining claim
 This shows the injustice of the United States law on this matter, for here Is a company that has spent thousands of dollars developing and opening up mines and on account of low price ct copper the past two years, they were not doing active work. The result is that former employers take ad- vantage of the law governing mining claims and jump the property, coming into possession of many thousand dollars worth of property, without any cost to them scarcely at all. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court by the mining company.
