The Shannon Copper company S statement for the June quarter says: The net profits of the quarter, after deducting every item of expense both eastern and western, including $27,- 2S7 expended in exploration and de velopment work, were $28,7 ,720, com pared with $75,S47 for quarter ended March 31, 1913. Total profits for the ten months ended June 30, 1913 were $312, 2,43O.
 The high cost and small net profits for, the period covered by this report are due to lower grade ore treated, and to the lower price received for copper. b."
 The average copper extraction for the quarter just ended was 43G6 pounds from the Shannon ores and 1857 pounds from the outside prop critics, compared with an average copper extraction of 47.21 pounds and 1.19 pounds for the preceding quar- ter, and 45.S5 pounds and 24.6S pounds, respectively, for the ten months of this fiscal period. =
 Punctuation in the grade of ore treated is not of infrequent occur renee at most of the southwestern copper properties, but is especially frequent at the Shannon. On account of the nature of the deposit and the character of the ore, the property does not permit ,selective stoping and the ore is mined as it comes without

 | There is also taken over the San Antonio property in the Sierra Azul mountains, 30 miles south of Cananea. Payment for the properties is made in the issue of 150,000 shares of the capital stock of the company, this stock being placed in escrow for a period or six months.
 In the interim there is to be placed on the market block of 50,000 shares of stock of the company to provide for immed development work on the Producer and Wolfton claims.

sorting, regardless of the quality, the result being that for certain periods we mine ore that runs considerably lower, and for other periods higher
 than the usual average of the mine.
 Such fuctuation in the grade of the
 ore makes quite difference in both the cost of production and the con-
 pany's net profit, as may be seen by this and former operating reports Of
 the company.
 For instance, if the ore treated dur ing this quarter had yielded the same percentase of copper as the ore treat ed the preceding quarter, there would have been a difference of over $50,000 in the net profit for the quarter of $50,000. Recent reports from the mines are to the effect that the grade of ore being mined is showing con siderable improvement.
 Pursuant to the policy determined upon by the directors, to purcha SC for the account of the Shannon com pany each year a sufficient number of the Shannon-Arizona railway bonds, in order that at their maturity in 1919 the copper company shall be the holder of the entire issue, there has been acquired by the company since March 31st, an additional amount of $42,00O of these bonds in the open market. at a substantial re- duction from par. -..e..4 t--. 4

tracts down to three months period and have disposed of their output for the next two or three months at ad- vancing figures.
 It is estimated that copper sales during the past month have aggre- gated l75,O0O,000 pounds. Export purchases have been a feature of the market and insure large deliveries in the immediate future.
 A feature of the monthly statistics of the copper producers association was the production which averaged 4,454,019 pounds daily or 390,000 pounds a day more than in June. Ex- ports during July averaged 2,531 ,615 pounds a day or 263,000 pounds per day more than in the preceding month.

 Also it has made a sufficient pro- ducer in the Three R's to invite strong outside financial backing for the conduct of the much more exten- sive development that this property, the leader in the district, must have before it can be rated as a mine within the meaning of the word from the investment viewpoint.

The Mt Graham Lumber Company Lis working full time at their mill at i Columbine, Graham Mountains, saw ing out 25,000 feet of lumber every day. The total amount of standing timber the company has contracted for with the government is 50,000,- 900 feet ..
 The machinery installed by the company. several weeks ago is work ing perfectly. The company employs about forty men and the pay roll amounts to about s2,000 a month. At the present time the company is building lu1n Der yard at the end of the Hume at Goodman's ranch. Two platforms, to be used for piling the lumber, will be erected, one on each side of the Hume, and they will each be forty rods long. The sawed lumber will be taken from the Hume onto the platforms and be graded and then piled up for seasoning.
 Within the next three months the company will install a blaming mill and dress all lumber, also manufac- ture flooring and siding.
 The speeies of timber that is be- ing sawed into lumber consists of red and white fir and Engleman's s spruce These species make fine lumber for building and mine pur- poses. .f
 Later on the company will send down the Hume all slabs, cut into four-foot lengths, which will be sold for fire wood A good revenue will be secured from this.-Safford Guard

Asking prices for Lake and cleo trolytic copper have generally been advanced to 16 cents by the leading selling agencies. Large sales have been made during the past week at 15 3-4 and 15 7-S cents and the trade has practically cleaned up all the cop per in sight.
 A transaction at 1885 cents spot cash was recorded within a day or two indicating that some consumers stocks are very low and that they were in immediate need of additional supplies.
 The buying movement, which began the latter part of July, has exceeded all expectations The larger produc- CTS are sold ahead as far as they deem it advisable so to do.
 The Lake companies, with a strike on hand, are not in position to accept orders for delivery at any specified date and these companies of course are now out of the market most of them having had no difficulty in disposing of all the copper which they had on hand or in process of refining.

MODEL POST OFFICES
TO OBTAIN EFFICIENCY
Postmaster General Burleson
Has Plan to Procure Best
Methods of Handling Mail.

With a view 10 obtaining greater eff
ficiency i'll the postal service, the Post
master General proposes to provide a
number OF model post Offices where those
in charge shall. by experiments and 9TH
erwise, try to discover the best prac-
ticable methods of operating the postal
service. as well as to test methods and
devices. From these offices the other post
offices throughout the country will model
their own internal systems.
a field service is to be provided to
carry on the work, the country being
divided into three sections. the Atlantic
states, the middle west and the Pacific
coast Two postal experts from this city
will be sent to each Of these sections to
cooperate with post Office inspectors in a
study of conditions and to reorganize the
clerical forces of certain designated post
offices as may be found necessary. Ihe
investigation of these experts will cover
every phase OF the service, including the
collection of the mails, the metNoos OF
handling them in post offices and on
trains or in course of transportation and
their final delivery.
The experiment is virtually return to
q principle abolished by Congress on the
recommendation of the department a year
or so ago. when the different branches
Of the postal service were virtually su-
perviSed by experts and specialists rather
than the post office inspectors generally
Formerly Supervised by Specialists.
When Postmaster General Hitchcock as
sumed office the registered mail service
of the country was supervised in the field
by specialists and q result, 1t is said,
splendid results We're achieved. The same
was true of that branch of the service
which deals with the classification of the
malls and the admission of newspapers
and magazines to the second class The
division of salaries and allowances also
had its specialists, who looked into all
matters Affecting the operation OF post
offices. such as rent. light, fuel, lease
of post office buildings, clerk hire and
other matters.
About two years ago. upon the rec
ommendation of Mr.. Hitchcock, this force
Of specialists was wiped out by Congress
and merged into the post Office inspectors
branch OF the service. AS the result
many of the post office inspectors re-
ceived substantial promotions, while the
specialists We're. for the most part, rel
egated TO minor positions and some or
them crowded out of the postal service
entirely.
Those familiar with conditions at the
time say that the department thus lost
q number of men highly trained In the
special branches OF the service.
