TO START PIONEER SHELTER

IOCSON-Manager waters or the Pioneer Smelling company has return ed from the company's properties and reports that the smelter is practically finished and ready to receive ores, as soon as the expert gets on the ground and starts the big crude oil engines, which will furnish power for the plant. About fifty tons day are now com ing into the plant and are being put into the big storage bins by a belt conveyor run by gasoline engine tenn porarily. The big Saurer motor truck which carries six and a half tons of ore at a trip, is making six trips every day and has proven a most satisfac- tory success to the management. Up to Saturday morning it had travelled 2730 miles and the solid rubber tires show little wear. It travels ninety four miles a day, using four quarts of cylinder oil and twenty gallons of gasoline. It moves about forty tons of ore daily over a distance of seven and One-quarter miles.

TO SHIP CHRISTMAS ORES

nave DcOH sued by the Southern Pacific officials to have the eleven-mile section of the Phoenix & Eastern branch, from Winkelman up to Christmas, placed in first-class condition for heavy traf- f1c. This is taken as confirmatory of the rumor that operations are to be resumed at once at the Christmas mine, and that great quantities of ore will be freighted down to the Hayden smelter as soon as that plant is blown in, shortly after April 1.
 Christmas ores are self f1uxing and freighted down to the Hayden smelter to mix with those from Ray. Ore buy CTS of the American Smelling and Re fining company have been in the Christmas district for several weeks, and it is understood that the options held on all the promising claims be- tween Winkelman and Troy were talk en for that concern.-Democrat

COPPER SHARES ADVANCE

The coppers have been more active and further price advances have oc- cured all along the line. Public conf dence in the coppers is increasing, and as a result fewer people are selling, while more are buying. The strength of Amalgamated and Anaconda has been prominent among the reassuring factors. Insiders have been the buy CTS. There is very little Amalgamat- ed carried on margin in Boston and small traders have sold more of it on the advance than they have bought. The same is true of Utah Copper and the other porphyry stocks. Most of the buying in all the coppers has been by very strong interests who know more about tAe metal situation and are less suspicious than the rank and file of spectators.
 There is every reason for the belief that we are coming into a worldwide speculation in coppers. A long era of prosperity for the producers is ahead. The great success of the porphyry mines was chiefly responsible for the depression in the metal market dur ing the past four years. They uneX- pectedly became heavy producers at just the time when the worlds con- sumptive demand had reached the point where it exceeded all other sources of supply. The surplus ac- cumualtion during the two or three years following the panic of 1907 just about equalled the combined output of Utah Copper and Nevada Consoli- dated.
 Had it not been for the production of these two companies, the average price of copper during the past four years probably would have been above 15 cents. Again the consumptive de- mand is exceeding all sources of pro duction, porphyries included, and this time all of the new mines under de- velopment everywhere will be unable to increase the worlds output as rap idly as the metal will be needed.
 Long continued prosperity for the producers is indicated, therefore. Just now 15 cents may seem to be a high price for copper, but within year or two it will look low This prosperity must be reflected in greatly increased mine earnings, much larger dividends by the producing companies and high CT prices for copper stocks. I would continue to buy the coppers on every slight reaction.

c. G A. STOCK ADVANCES

Calumet & Arizona stock advanced sharply on the report of very rich strike in the vicinity of the Briggs shaft. At $66 a share the company's property is selling in the market for S41, ,4S5, 5,6S6. Dividend payments are $4 a year, or a trif1e better than 6 per cent on the price. On 15-cent copper the company can earn about $6.50 a share. Calumet & Arizona should have surplus of $3,50O,O00 or more of which about $2,000,O0O is now being expended on the construction of a new and larger shelter. It will be com pleted within IS or 20 months and will

AUTO TRUCK FOR STEMS

UCSON-Diamondfie Jack Davis, the father of Fl Gro, the new mining camp four miles north of Stein's Pass New Mexico stopped off in Tucson on his way to his property from Los An geles. He says Fl Gro is a lusty in- fant and will make the older camps sit up and take notice in a short time. He is shipping ore from two properties and while in Los Angeles purchased a motor truck Of four tons capacity to haul ore to the railroad. The motor will make six or eight trips day and is expected to greatly reduce the cost of hauling-Star.

COPPER RIDGE CAMP

R. F. Wilson was down from his Copper Ridge camp Monday. He has been engaged for some time in driv- ing a cross cut tunnel to tap his Cop per Ridge vein at a considerable depth below the surface and is now into the vein some distance, but has about 12 feet to go yet before reaching the hang ing wall. He is getting bornite, na- tive copper, copper oxide and carbon ateS and free gold and expects to strike bonanza on the hanging wall. He has built a fine wagon road from the mine down to the Arizona Eastern railroad, distant from the mine about three S-Blade-Tribune.

THE COLORADO ORE
 TESTING PLANT

The sum of $12,50O was recently turned over to the authorities of the Colorado School of Mines for the equipment of the new ore testing plant. The building for the plant was built a year ago and $50,000 was al lowed by the legislature for the nec- essary machinery, and one-fourh of this is what is now available. Many donations of machinery have been made by the various manufacturers, and it is now possible to completely equip, ready for operation, the con- centration section of the plant.

THE LEASING SYSTEM

A great many mining men, men who work in the mines and know how to polish off the head of a drill, could make a great deal more than regular wages if they would take a working lease on some property of known val ue; and more than one mining com pany if it could only be brought to be- lieve it. could derive greater reven- ue by leasing their properties than they could by working them them selves-L.

RlcH STRIKE IN ToNoPAH CLAM

The HalifaE-Tonopah mine came in to prominence on Sunday last by the cutting of streak of ore in the shaft at a depth of $40 feet. This ore, about six inches wide, was encountered in the calcite andesite formation, fol- lowing the cutting of several other quartz stringers, carrying very low values. The first assay from the ore gave the remarkable returns of 206 ounces silver and two ounces gold, or $163 a ton, and other samples show ed values from $45 a ton upwards.

Effort Being Made to Secure Great

A number of the prominent Scandi-

corah are making an effort to secure
an illustrated lecture in DEBORAH
soon, probably in the month of Feb
ruary, by Capt. ROAD Amundsen,
discoyerer of the South Pole and of
the Northwest Passage, and probab-
ly the most famous of the world S
great arctic explorers. He was here
a few years ago and received a great
reception, but since that time his dis
covery of the South Pole made a de-
mand for him in all the great cities
of the world. Nevertheless, he is a
Norwegian, and the people of Decor
ah and vicinity want him to tell them
about his experiences. He is now in
Europe, lecturing in England and
Germany, but will come to Ameri-
ca soon. 1t will take a big guarantee
of money to get him to DEBORAH, but
this will doubtless be taken care of
and the announcement of the date of
his coming will be made in due sea-
son.

Installing Fire Alarm System.

Work has been progressing for sew
eral days upon the installation of De-
corah's new fire alarm system. The
alarm tower at the city hall has been
lowered twenty feet by Ed. Goltz and
the equipment will soon be in place
there and in the various hose houses,
so that it is hoped to have the alarm
in operation within few days.
While these changes are being
made the siren whistle at the electric
light plant will be kept in condition
to be blown, so that the city will not
be without an alarm system.
