CONCERT ON THE NINETEENTH
AT LIBRARY AUDITORIUM

The appearance in Americas on the
nineteenth of December, OF Charles
w. Clarke, baritone, is a great thing
for the people of our town for those
who keep informed as to the best n
a musical way, know that Mr.. Clarke
stands at the top of the artistic pro-
fession and is famous not only IN
America, but in Europe, where he has
made several recital tours.
Mr.. Clarke is a wonderfully great
artist and a man of rare personality
who from the first moment compels
from his audience a feeling of almost
affection, which is much to be said,
when so many of our great artists
seem to sing, as it were over thl
heads" of their listeners.
A number on his program which has
excited much admiration is the work
of an American composer, the negro
song, Uncle Rome" by Sidney Ho-
mer.

The Ray Consolidated

Advices are that the development and equipment of the Ray Central mine of the Ray Consolidated has been practically completed and that the actual production of ore has commenced. It will be recalled that in addition to the low grade ore in the Ray Central mine the engineers of that company estimated that there were 673 900 tons of ore aSsaying 5.S3 per cent copper. This is more than 3 1-2 per cent higher than the aver age of the entire Ray Consolidated ore reserves It is from this high grade ore body that shipments have just been comemnced. It has been the intention of the management to take out 600 tons of this ore per day. If this plan is adhered to and the ore is treated in the mill. assuming fair recovery and shelter loss, it would indicate an additional annual production at the rate of approXi
 mately 18,000,000 pounds. The cost of production on this ore will be Very much lower than the cost with the low grade ore heretofore treated. In addition to greatly increasing the to- tai production of copper it will re-
 duce considerably the average cost per pound. The mining of ore from
 this ore body comes at a most op-
 perfume time, as the Ray mine is not 1 in condition to supply the ore neces- sary to run the concentrator at full capacity In other words. it will ac celerate production and compensate to a considerable extent for the shortage of ore at the concentrator.

Cunningham Pass District

About ten miles north of Wenden w. Bullard is taking out shipping ore and is shipping from three to four car loads of ore per month to the Swansea shelter The treatment of ore at this shelter affords much cheaper rate and is creating considerable incentive and assistance to prOspectors in developing their claims and getting quick returns for the ore taken out during their de- VelOpment. This is an old and very promising district and the veins pro duce an excellent quality of copper ore carrying gold and silver values. This district is going to receive a much closer attention in the future and an attention which it certainly deserves
 "0se to the Bullard property Wilkinson & Wright brothers are vorkIng five men and shipping about two cars of ore per month. The ore is in every way similar to that of the Bullard In fact all the ores in tnls district have distinct re- Serohlance
 Thomas Dodson is working four men on the old Cunningham Pass Gold & Silver company. (This prop erty was held over thirty years by Bullard. before it was merged into the company and is extracting very good ore ready for shipment
 In addition to these properties quite a number of old prospectors are working on their claims and taking out ore with the intention of ship ping to the Swansea smelter.
 R. G. Robinson. a venerable pros- pector. has held claims on the Cum ningham Pass divide for a number of years. The croppings and general appearance of the property is very promising. The ground requires wig orOus development work.

The Copper Market

The Boston News Bureau soys:
 While the copper metal market is at present undergoing a severe test. and for the immediate future lower prices seem inevitable, a long range view has it's reassuring aspects. Un- uuestionably the metal has acted bet ter during the past year than even the most sanguine had dared to hope. For three years subsequent to the break in 1907 there was very little hope that consumption of copper could for a long time catch up with the much heralded increase in produc- tion-largely by the new porphyry mines This argument did yeoman service and was in great measure re- sponsible for the long period of de- pression in the price of the metal
 eliminating in October, 1911. Strange to say, however, the year 1912. which witnessed the largest production of copper in the history of the industry
 was one of the most prosperous for the producers. Not only was the increased output-2, 250, 100000 pounds all delivered to consumers, but the

worlds visible supply showed a de- crease of an additional 45.700,OO0 pounds, making the total indicated consumption 2,293, 100000 pounds for 1912, a new high record Moreover these enormous deliveries were not at the eXepense of prices. electrOlytic averaging well above 16 cents per pound for the year, the highest since 1907. AS to the future, it is difficult to see anything calculated seriously to upset the equilibrium of the copper situation. The present unsettlement is perfectly natural in view of the foreign political situation, and busi ness uncertainties here, but long range view points most decidedly to the conclusion that with no large increase of production in sight, there is not likely to be a serious or long continued decline in prices There has been no large copper property discovered in the last three years and except for some immaterial increase in output from two or three of the pOrphyries this year, no important new copper can be expected to be produced during the next few years. It is hard to see why any concern should be felt about the future of the metal; rather the question might be raised as to where increased pro- duction is to come from to take care of the normal yearly increase in con- sumption"

Old Time Arizonian Dead in AIasks

News of the death of R. M Straus, mining man, 50 years old. at Ka- talla, Alaska, on the 21st inst. after an illness of only twenty hours, reached his mother at Los Angeles on the 24th
 MT. Straus had been in Alaska ten years, and at the time of his death was employed in developing gold mines owned by Charles G. Lane. Bob Straus, as he was generally known, was an active rustler. Years ago he had interests at Harqua Falls and other parts of Arizona. It was he too who presented the La Fortuna south of Yuma to Charles G. Lane. who took up the property. worked and equipped it and took out several mil lions
 Bob was the one who collected the commission for making the deal and also held an interest with Lane along with several others. When the old Fortuna was worked out Bob assumed closer business relations with Lane and represented the latter in several of his enterprises in Alaska Boh was a sharp, energetic fellow, well liked, and made a success in the vo- cation he followed
 It is with regret that we are oc- caSionally forced to notice the pass ing away of some of our old time Arizona friends. There is a certain tender memory attached to all the ole timers in Arizona, that one never for gets.

Illness of E. B. Gade

It is with sincere regret that we report the serious illness of MT. E. F.. Gage, who is now in 8 hospital at San Francisco, suffering from internal hemorrhageS and which by all accounts is liable to prove fatal at any time However, we trust that his own sturdy physique. assisted by medical skill. will give him a contin ued term to remain amongst us.
 Mir Gage has been identified with commercial and financial interests in Arizona for many years. For some time he was a large stOckholder and an important factor in the Phoenix National bank and no mining history of Arizona could be written without the name of F. B. Gage. He was iden tified with the Grand Central at Tombstone for many years and again under it's reorganization under the name of the Tombstone Consoli- dated Mining Company" He was also active in the operation of the Congress mine and later with the Imperial Copper Co at Silver Bell, and the shelter erected at Sasco for the reduction of ores from this camp. and I believe the largest share holder in the railroad from Red Rock to SaSco.
 MT. Gage was greatly missed on his retirement from active life in Ari- zona and he earned a well earned rest when he went to live in his beautiful home by the sea in Cali fornia. MT Gage is a genial kind hearted man, has a kindly word and a warm reception for all his friends and those who have had the pleasure of meeting him We dislike to think of not again receiving his welcome cordiality

Arizona's Increasing Copper Output

NrIzonas increasing Copper Output
 The most important development in the copper mining industry in 1913, will not be in the development of new properties. but in the restoration. additions and building of new plants, much more economical in treatment and operation. New production this year is bound to be limited to a few properties already large producers but which did not perfect or reach their maximum output in 1912. When reaching their maximum output this year and next that question of new and increased output will be pertinent for no new large properties are in prospect excepting those that are now in the making. ..ew copper smelters now under construction are. the Ari- zona Copper company at Clifton, the United Verde at Jerome. and the Calumet and Arizona at Douglas The former will undoubtedly be completed by June or July next The United Verde at least two years, and the C. and A. cOntemplates completion by the middle of this year There is but one other plant outside of Ari- zona that is undergoing complete reconstruction. So the majority of increase lies in ArizOna's production. So for three years, it is evident we are gradually to increase our output each year.

Winifred District

There is a likelihood of develop ment work being again started on the Fortuna property adjoining the Union mine sixteen miles north of Phoenix Probably some day there will again be mine in this district.
 D. w. Steel is developing his Red Dog claim in this district, also close to the old Union mine. He is arrasting his ore, using as motive power gasoline engine. He is treating about a ton of ore per day and saves in value from $G0 to $70 per ton.
