RIOT AT TWIN BUTTES.

A riot between American and Mex can miners broke out at the Tw in Buttes mine today over the hoiSting of the Mexican flag on American soil, and the conflict ended with the rout; ing of the MeXicans, according to a telephone message received this after noon by United States Marshal c. A overlook, asking him to make an 1n vestigatfon.
 The report sta&ed that the Mexi- cans raised their national flag in early celebration Of the Cinco de Mayo, which falls on Sunday. Either Intentionally or otherwise, the Mexi- cans failed to raise the American flag at the same time as is required by Jaw.
 Angered by what they considered an open insult to the United States. it is said, the American miners form ed in body and attacked the MeXi- cans, engaging them in fisticuffs So fierce was the onslaught, according to the report, that the Mexicans were badly beaten and disbanded, while the flag was hauled down.
 United States Marshal Overlook is this afternoon endeavoring to get au- thoritative information concerning the riot

GREATEST COPPER SMELL
 TER IN WORLD

Great Falls, Mont. May 4.-Recon. struction of the present smelter by the Anaconda Copper company has been decided upon according to plans and specifications prepared with a view to making the B. & M. plant Of this city the model copper smelter of the entire world, and that because ot the water power advantages of this city.
 The building will cost over S2,5OO.- 900 and will be completed in one year
 The plans have all been perfected and agreed upon. The works are to be entirely of steel and concrete and it only remains for the great steel manufacturing plants of the East co place the material here upon contract for active work to begin.
 As much of the present plant as possible will be utilized in the re- building, and during the time that the work is going on smeltng will con tinue in the old plant and copper pro- duction there will not be curtailed, but rather extended.
 Practically the site of the present smelter will be used, with added ground along the river bank. The cost will be S2,500,000.

NEW ENGLAND G CLIFTON

The Copper Era is, in receipt of numerous requests about the New England & Clifton Copper Co., By virture of sheriff's deed the proper ty of this company is now owned by John K. Erskine, of New York. The property of the company was sold to satisfy judgments for debt contracted by the New England Company, Vile it was being operated. The time fo~ redemption has expired and the titic to the property is now vested in Mr. Erskine. MT. Erskine is also the controlling owner in the Standard group. It is reported that as soon as the bond holders on the New England Co. can be satisfied a consolidation will be effected between the Standard Mines Co. and the New England, and operations commenced on a large scale. The present price of copper should tend to hurry forward the ar- engagements to this effect. It is a well known fact that the Standard, which is now lying idle, could be op- erated at a profit.

LOSS
 AFFECTS MARKET

The loss of the Titanic caused backset in the general market in east ern financial centres. It is somewhat shameful to speak of the one exception in this regard; the prominence given to wireless telegraphy in this occur renee has been widely used as adver- tising matter to further the huge manipulation that is beng carried for ward in the various issues of the Mar conf wireless companies.
 The copper situation remains very interesting. The best authorities are estimating increased output at 150.- 0,000 lb., but as opposed to this it is argued that this increase in copper production will not catch up with the increasing rate of consumption. This is altogether a question. of general business conditions, rather than a question of the factors that are in
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-05-10

herent in the copper situation alone.
 The uses of copper metal have been
 greatly extended, and a careful andy
 sis of the future is of more import ance than comparisons with the past.
 It is said-though the statement must
 be taken with large grains of salt
 that the copper producers have been
 compelled to act very strenuously to
 prevent a runaway market in the met al, and that prices could easily have
 been pushed to much higher levels. It is a little hard to accept this state ment without qualification, after the long, d1lM, lean period which the COD per producers have experienced is considered. Though producers have been able to push quotations to high CT levels without difficulty, on the other hand there is some danger Of curtailing eonsumption by this very measure. LOW prices made for wid- CT uses of dhe metal, while advanced quotations tend to drive consumers to the use of cheaper substitutes It is beyond question that the public is beginning to accept higher prices without as much skeptielsm as ruled 50 or 90 days ago.

GOLD AT STEMS Pass.

Diamondfield Jack DavaS, formerly of IGpldfield, Nevada, is the discoverer of the gold strike near Stein's Pass. Two more mine properties have just been taken over by Diamond Jack and his ass plates. They are the Bonnie Jean mine, near Lordsburg, and the Grey Fox, south of Steinis Pass:
 The Bonnie Jeans smelting returns run $1.60 gold, $2.70 silver 1926 per cent copper, according to the report of T. F. Niland, an El Paso minin g engineer wRo examined the property.
 Ore is being shipped from the Bon nie Jean and Grey Fox, both of which are copper properties primarily, as well as from the Fl Gro mine where the strike was recently made. The latter is 20 miles from the Lewisoh5, properties at Twin Peaks and Apache Box Canyon, and is said to have out croppings banning $15 per ton and traceable for 5000 feet.

Alleging that careless management and neglect caused the loss of a twen- ty-five thousand doolar teaching mill, that their mines were not properly mined and timbered, that false reports of the amount of money received for ores had been made by the plaintiff company, the intention of deceiving them, that the taxes were not paid as the statements showed, and with many other strong and sensational all legations, a suit has been brought and filed in the superior court at Globe, against Henry B.

A report was received by the AriZ- ona Eastern traffic head quarters in Tucson from the Phoenix division cov- ering the month of April states that 4,000 tons of ore were hauled daily from the Ray Consolidated Copper company's mine at Ray to the con- centrator at Hayden.

 The mine management plans to raise the daily tonnage to 5000 when the remaining units of the concen- trator are installed. The railroad has placed high power mogul engines in use for the trans portation of the Ray ore, and keeps two engines in constant service.
