Bisbee daily review., 1913-04-06

since the camp opened Howe it does not hurt
reflect occasionally upon ones reserves in excess OF all
needs.
RETIREMENT of Dr. ricketts, from the active man
agement of Greene-Cananea the first of the month
good deal TO not few copper producing con,
in the for they will be able &c share
largely OF his attention in the capacity of consulting
engineer than has been possible in the past Copper min
ers rightly hold the opinion OF Dr. Ricketts, particularly in
the reduction division be the highest obtainabe His
advice comprises the and invaluable combination of
theory and practice in just the right proportion for the
attainment of the maximum in results. Highly versed in
both he yet knows just where to part the ways his
many have amply demonstrated 1t cannot be
gainSad that the larger liberty he has taken TO himself
for the exercise of his abilities the benefit of the
copper industry at large.
UNINFORMED People are in Bisbee as well as else
where in the world comment occasoned by report
y made the outside and accredited TO Bisbee
the effect that Bisbee at depth lose value This
one devoid of the possibility of standing in the light
of annual reports of Bsbee producing companies showing
greater tonnage greater earnings lower copper produc
ton costs and deeper workings in 1912 than 1911 The
only explanation Offering is that the BiSbee man quoted
had his bearings reversed and hguratvey stood on his
head while making his deduct IONS having in mind low
grade the surface in rhe Bshee recent
under exploration and for many years held carry
small copper content be of value, but under modern
methods of susceptible of profitable mining and
thus adding important gain TO the Bsbee column of
sources
THE MARKET Is considered an uncertain quantity
at this time This much is true the CopperS worth all
and more than they sell ing for any way that
may figure The metal market, unless there is TO be
general European and complete collapse of conSump
on of the red metal across he Atlantic hardly fail
to keep at above present price Demand in America is
certain of much and early increase, while Europe is in
line for large gain-providedawayS the ends
The copper mines getting out the and canning
dividends For of the large producers there de-
in sight at the present time while nearly all of them
anticipate increased earnings through the spring and
summer months There likelihood of the tariff ques-
reaching the industry directly wherein it stands in
better position than most any other line These a~e 70
of the why coppers worth present Ccc and
and also why they should advance On the other
hand there signs as affecting the general market
which point the possibility of close times and compul
sorry sacrifices by ofwhich very we'll in
formed persons advising conservatism. However the
purchase of the Bbees at present prices could only be
considered under that heading provided the purchaser
situated that he carry his buys any period
Concerning tariff legislation the opinion grow
that President Wilson will terminate along with congress
in comparatively mild revision and that nobody will b"
hurt This the bottom of the strong bull sentmen
that has been more earnestly in evidence in the market
times during last half of the week than at any pre-
vous period in long while.
