MINE INSPECTION
 IN ARIZONA .'
Forty Arizona Mines Inspected Thus Far-Life Saving Corps Estab- !ished-Co-operation Notic- abie-Inspect Mines Four
 Times A Year.

The office of the state mine inspect or, established by reason of the pass age of the mining code at the regular session Of the legislature, is aSSup1- ing the proportions expected of it at the time of it's creation, and that right rapidly. There are now three depu- ties employed under the direction of State Inspector G. H. Bolin, who have been busily engaged in inspecting the mining operations in Yavapai, Gila and Cochise counties.
 Already forty mines have been thor oughly inspected and reports filed with the state inspector, and more are expected every day. Under the pro- visions of the law, all mines employ spected four times a year, while annu- al inspections are conducted on mines employing less than fifty men.
 This means, then, that every three months the mine owners may look for visit from the inspector or his depu- ties.
 The work in Cochise county on the first inspection is about complete, as is also that of Gila county and Yaya- raj. Deputy Wilson of Mohave coun- ty, who has been working in Yavapai county will be used in Yuma and part of Maricopa, when his tour of duty in the northerii county has been completed. Deputy Farrell of Cochise and Deputy Harper of Gila will be used in Pima, Pinal, Greenlee and Graham in the course of few weeks.
 The reports of the deputies so far show a commendable desire on the part of the mine owners to comply with the law, especially with regard to the organization of life saving corps. Many of the mines already had these organizations, but even these are being improved and increased in size and efficiency under the provi sions of the Arizona mining code

WALKER COPPER LETTER.

Geo. L. Walker, writing in the Bost- on Commercial last week regarding tae metal market says:
 Standard or speculative copper has been manipulated recently on the London metal exchange. The object Of the raid apparently was to shake out numerous small speculators who had been buying copper warrants all the way up from very low prices.
 Copper is quiet in the domestic mar ket. Lake and eleclrolytic' are any where from IT to 1734 cents pound. Some small lots have been sold hy dealers and jobbers at 1894 to 17h cents. So far as can be learned there are no large lots for sale for delivery earlier than September and October.
 As to the possibility that the refin- cries have not been able to refine the copper as rapidly as it has come to them, there may be some uncertainty. They have been operating to full ca Dacity for some time, except during the brief period that their output was restricted hy labor troubles; but so far as l can learn they have been put ting all the copper throughwithout any material delay. ,1he big producing companies that have issued their re- ports so far this year have not shown any appreciable increase in the amount of unSold metals on hand.
 Those who talk about the discrep- macy between Smelter returns and re finery output use as the basis of their arguments figures that are little bet ter than estimates. They claim that mine production has increased at the rate of fully 10,000,000 pounds month l., ana that imports have been much larger also. l believe that both O. liic statements aIc based on g'esses and that they are far from correct. >Nhiie the output G some mines has inc req Sed, that Of others has decreas- ed. and the world is producing very little more copper now than it was q year age.
 It is quite possible that some of the large consumers nave fought as mjIc1 copper as they will use during tho coming 30 to ca days. If they refrain from making further purchases until all the metal they have on hand has been exhausted it will have tcni-
 n"" to keep the metal market in . seemingly weak position for some time to come. As producers are sold well ahead, however, there is no pros pect that prices will be offered down, and when consumers do come into the market they will have to pay approXi- mately the highest prices that have So far been recorded.
 The Copper Producers statement for June showed further decrease of 5,270,639 pounds in the American sur plus of refined copper. This, togeth- CT with the shrinkage in the foreign visible supply makes a total reduction of about 15,000,000 pounds in the worlds surplus during June. It was about an average month in this res pect, and the figures indicate that con- sumption is exceeding production at the rate of 115 900 900 hounds annu- ally.
 No one but consumers have any oc casion to worry about the copper situ- ation. Those who are not well sup piled will do well to take advantage Of this reaction and provide for their i'm mediate future needs Copper will sell higher.

REEDY ON ROOSEVELT.

The (St Louis) Mirror (Wm. Mar ion Reedy), June 27.-It is my opinion that Theodore Roosevelt is done for, that his bolt will fizzle out. He didn't rise to the height of personal perform ance anticipated and he didn't make bit of sacrifice for principle. After the people have had time to think about this they will not follow Roose- welt further. And Taft. His friends mad O take h m solely because they could not get Pooec-clt . agrco to anyone else. Tnev would have nominated anybody 9-.7scVelt would have agreed to, but himself, on Friday. .. Was Roose- .elt defrauded? To some extent. To another extent many of his contests were faked An, but there was the Steam Roller, Sure! But who in- vented and perfected the Steam Roil- CT in 1904? Theodore Roosevelt. There's never very much sympathy for long for the man hoist on his own petard or fallen in the pit he digged for another. The peoDle Of this coun- try are not ready to agree that the is- sue this year is Roosevelt and his per sonal fortunes. They do not see that Roosevelt incarnates any policy, and programme against iniquities, other than vociferation.

OLD DOMINION.

The output of copper by the Old Do minion mine in June was 2.130, 900 pounds, making a total of 12,973.000 pounds for the half year as compared with 13,S41, 500 pounGs in the first six months of 1911, 13.43O,000 pounds in 1910 and 1S,190,000 pounds in 1909.
 It is expected that three furnaces will be kept in operation from now on, as the amount of custom ore re ceived is gradually increasing under the stimulus of the present high cop- per prices, and the mine production will probably be slightly increased. The new dust chamber for the con- verter plant is finished.

HAS A BIG FUTURE.

Cherry Creek in Yavapai county has long been noted for tie high grade of it's gold ores. Among the best mines of that district are those of Messrs. l. R. Boyer, R. W. Wingfield and Oliver Loper, who are joint owners in the Sunnyside group of seven claims, which lie close to Cherry Creek and therefore have an abundance of water for milling purposes. Upon the claims and adjacent to them there is considerable oak and juniper timber, and also second-growth pine.
 About 1000 feet of development work has been done upon the claims, whereby a large tonnage of ore IS made available, the amount being es timated at 500OO tOnS

TUCSON, Arizona, July 16.-Divi dends amounting to S5,40O,000 were distributed in 1911 by the Phelps Dodge company, according to the annual report of President James Douglas, which has just been con- piled.
 The copper sold during the year was 15S,900,257 pounds of electro lyic and 21,401,703 pounds of cast the domestic trade 69,4S3, TSP pounds, and to the foreign trade, 11O,s1s,1s3 pounds; average price, 12.36 cents per pound net cash, f. o. b. New York
 The report of Walter Douglas, gen eral manager of the Phelps Dodge company, says that the Stag Canon Fuel company produced 1,14S,470 tons of coal, of which 573.390 tons were devoted to the manufacture of coke.
 The ore production of the Copper Queen exceeded that of 1910 by al most 23,0O0 tons, but the copper content of the ore was nearly BIO per cent less.
 In the report of S. w. French, general manager of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company he says that the average number of employees in the Bisbee mines was 3,055. The ore derived from leasors was 17,000 tons. lI was in part de- rived from lead ores or plumbiferous copper ores.
