The Story of Alaska Gold.

Alaska Gold was star performer in the high priced division of the prec- ious metal issues. It sold up close to POS and ended the week 19S to l915$. The strength of the issue is directly traceable to the splendid reports which are coming from Juneau as to the rapidity with which D. c. Jack ling, the famous mining engineer and metallurgist, is whipping the property into shape for heavy production. The fact that application has been made to list the stock on the New York Stock Exchange and that listing will prob ably be accomplished late in Scptem- Der or early in October is also acting as a market stlmulant. Moreover. Hayden, Stone x Co.,, who are beyond any question the highest class and most successful firm of banker mine promoters in America, are making no secret of their absolute faith in the ultimate great success of the venture
 But for the fact that the average grade of ore of the mine of Alaska Gold is lower than that which it has ever been attempted to mine on large scale, Alaska Gold would probably be selling at double It's present quotation.
 Buyers of the stock are among the best posted mining men in the United States. They are pinning their faith to D. c. Jackling. Mr. Jackling says he can accomplish the feat of mining and milling the ore at a gross cost of about 7Sc per ton, leaving a profit of about 90 per cent. net on the gross value of the tonnage indicated. It was Mr. Jackling who solved the problem of reducing the low-grade porphyry ore of Chino and Ray at a great pro- fit. Those who pinned their faith to him in Chino have seen the stock ad- vance in the market from around 5S to sos, with present quotations around $40, and they are willing to take ticket on his judgment again.

Making Bullion and Shipping
 Ore.

The Y. P. Mining Company, work ing the Cash properties, which started the new milling and concentrating plant about two weeks ago, is reported to be obtaining excellent results. The first bar of bullion has been retorted, and the shipment of ore began last Thursday, when the Ruffner teams brought the first loads of high. grade ore to town. The ore comes from a vein recently opened up. Concentrates are being piled up for shipment later. The extraction of values in the new plant is reported to be very high. the tailings assaying only 52 cents. With ore already developed in sufficient quantity to feed the mill for nearly two years, and the proven success of the present method of treating ore, the future prosperity of the property seems assured.

The Copper Metal Situation

"Realizatlon of the truly strong statistical position of copper, produced by an increasing consumption and a production that lately has been about stationary, has brought about further sharp advance in the price for the metal" says the Engineering and Min ing Journal. "The prospective short age in the supply of lake copper, owing to the strike, has of course been con- tributary in creating sentiment. Anyway, the recent decline to below If cents undoubtedly went too far, and a substantial rally was naturally due. We have conditions now that would lead to 20 p cent price for copper if the world were on the eve of an h. dustrial boom. It is certain, however, that no such development is ahead of us right away. On the contrary, finan. cial conditions the world over are still in dangerous state and are tending to enforce contraction in business rather than to promote expansion. For the moment, belated consumers, who over-stayed the bear market of a little while ago, are having to pay a trifling premium for copper Immediately re- quired. However, there is no serious shortage of metal for that delivery. in spite of the smallness of the reported stock. A large output of cathodes is being drawn from the refineries every day. Recent events have shown in a striking way that the copper business can be run smoothly with much smal, Ter stock of copper than anybody thought"

Historic Society Receives First
 Arizona Press.

The first printing press ever used In Arizona, one of the most cherished relics of the early days of the territory, the press on which the Arizonian, the pioneer English paper of the territory was published, the press on which both Tucson papers were published at an early date, and which was later used in Tombstone, arrived in Tucson Thursday and will be st up at the rooms of the Pioneer Society on West Congress street. It is the gift of Wm. Hattich, the famous editor and pub- fisher of the Tom bstone Prospector, to the society.
 The press is a Washington, and is numbered p. It was brought to Tue. son m 1851 by way of Cape Horn. It was used at Tubac by Sylvester Mor- rison in getting out the Arizonian, the first English paper of the territory. Afterward the press was taken to Tue son, where Sidney De Long used it in publishing the Citizen.
 Afterwards it was employed by Gov ernor l., C. Hughes in the publication of the Star. In 1879 it was taken to Tom bstone where it was used to get out the Nugget, the first paper of the famous mining camp. Later it was supplanted by more modern machinery and has been interesting only as a priceless relic.
 Tucson people will be glad to hear that the old press is now safe and sound in the city, and the graceful act of Wm. Hattch in presenting it to the Pioneer society, where it can be witnessed by every visitor to the city. will be appreciated by every body in the Old Pueblo.-Star.

DeIaWare'S Early Apple Crop

Dover apparently leads the entire
country in the production and shipment
of early apples. although Wyoming is
the principal shipping station for the
apple belt
The shipments of early apples, up to
date have reached -. III baskets over
the Delaware Railroad. The season is
much earlier than 1912 as during the
corresponding week Of last year there
had been shipped, up to date, but 4. 1925
baskets.
In view Of the fear that the apple
crop was seriously damaged. this is re-
garded as most encouraging. There is
no doubt, however, that late apples are
hurt because of the severe and wet
weather around pollenization in the
Spring.
Potato shipments. too. are ahead Of
last year, the Delaware Railroad having
carried. from the Delaware shipping
statious. thus far. 1852 barrels of new
potatoes in comparison to 3,027 barrels
shipped last year. Delaware State
