Raw Consolidated

With production of 6495.719
pounds of copper in May, Ray Con-
solidated broke all previous records.
Based on that months output Ray
is producing at the rate of $4,000, 600
lbs. Of refined copper per annum. The
output for May brings the total pro-
duction this year to 30,302, 029 gross
pounds, and indicates that the COM
pany will in 1914 produce at least
100000 pounds of refined copper
and possibly may exceed this figure
considerably.
Operations at Ray this year al
ready have shown a decrease in the
cost of producing copper per pound
and in the first quarter a figure of
9.0Sc was obtained. This represents
a decrease of approximately &c per
pound over the average of that for
last year. With a tendency to work
toward higher grade ore and greater
recovery per ton it is expected that
Rays cost before the close of the
year will be brought down to sac.
per pound.
Taking Rays production at 10000, :
600 pounds of copper and assuming a
cost of SAC per pound for the year
the companys earnings based on say
lac copper would be $2,670,000 or
$40 per share.
With its steadily increasing prod
uction and the possibility of lower
| costs Ray is placing itself in a
| strong position and is apparently
able TO withstand a decline in the
metal. Based on the last quarterly
| statement issuer, the property was
then earning at the rate of $4,000, 900
per annum or $40 per share. These
! earnings were figured on 14.4c for
copper. Dividends at the rate of
! $50 per share are being paid. While
| the metal has declined since the first
| quarter of the year the create, pro-
duction now being obtained and the
probability also of a lower cost per
| pound would indicate that not only
have the earnings Of the first quar-
ter been maintained. but increased.
From the mine of this company
! 5000 tons of ore is drawn daily The
gradual sinking or lowering of the
surface from which this vast ton
mage is being taken is very percepti-
BILE and the caved area is increasing
monthly. The peak known as Ray
mountain in front of Sonoratown has
lowered in the neighborhood of rs
feet The topography of this area
will be very much altered in the
next year or two.

Fatal Cave-in at Risbee

BISBEE - While inspecting the
workings at the 1500-foot level of the
Junction shaft of the Calumet and
Arizona Mining company here, Frank
Juleff, one of the company's man :
ages and William Drury, mine fore
man. were buried under 1900 tons of
rock when a cave-in occurred. The
bodies have not yet been recovered.
This is the second fatal cavern here
this week, miner having been
crushed several days ago.
At the present time, possibly the
most important work of the district
just now is centering around the
Junction shaft, where Crews of expert
miners are being employed upon the
severe task of cutting a big station
on the 1900 level The work is of
the hardest description, largely on
account of the water. This station
will be the virtual heart of mining
in the lower portion of the Warren
district both for pumping and for
delivery of ore.
The deepened shaft already is
showing it's value, for the 1900 juno
ton level now is dry throughout, a
condition that is facilitating work to
a marvellous degree.

and made such statements and with
such variance of the facts, there
soon would be a vacancy on the staff
Of the company.
The facts of the case are simple.
There was a small cropping on the
northwest cropping of one of the
claims. There are no groupings Wis
ible on any of the others, for the
simple fact that they are all cor
nered by detrital wash with a depth
OF 10 to 40 feet. The small cropping
referred to angled into the side line
of ANOTHER claim on the north and
il was followed by workings into the
said ground 40 feet below the wash
covering. From this point the in
cline continued to the north on a
dip of q degrees from horizontal and
continued right across this claim
and half way across another palallel
claim. At this point it faulted. The
vein thrust up 20 feet when picked
up again. 1t was sunk upon and
furnished the richest ore in the
workings. Ten east and west levels
were run from the incline shaft and
great deal of ore drawn and treated
at the mill and cyanide plant that
was erected for the purpose. On the
east the vein was also faulted, but

that were under contest for on the

would be a grave injustice, in fact,
it would put all future mining de-
velOpment and exploitation in jeop-
ardy if any one owning claims were
not allowed a reasonable assumption
that its veins or ore bodies does not
exist longitudinally, or retain its
dip or continuity, even if it cannot
be seen on the surface. Develop
ments in Utah and especially at
Bisbee in this state, have specially
| demonstrated this The extent of
naturalization and the qualifications
| of the ore bodies seem to be without
limit. The great mine of the Calu e.
met and Arizona has no visible signs

the mine existing at depth and so it

this as well as other districts We

Interpretation of the mining laws, it

mining. Fortunately we have men
who have some practical knowledge
OF the subject; they are comon-
sense every day active men who re-
cognize things just as they are. The
| government and its officials should
help and assist the miner Locator and
mining companies to develop Mother
| Earth, and in many respects they
| do. See the papers and bulletins that
have been issued by them and which
have rendered worlds of good and
assistance. Some of them are stan

pavement he generally got the worst
oe It
One day he called again on the
surgeon and asked him if he could
not render his head less vulnerable
to attack. d.. Martel devised a
metal skull in two halves, which
proved a complete success.
He first took a mold of the hawk
er's head and from that prepared two
protection plates for the right and
left sides of plated copper one mil
limeter thick. The plates were pro
vided with apertures for ventilation
and covered with a horsehair wig,
which gives the illusion of a splendid
head of hair.
The happy hawker is no longer at
a disadvantage in the struggle for
existence, and finds his armor- plated
skull quite comfortable. 20

this plant developed the first water

New Use for the Metal Aluminium

One of the newest and perhaps
oldest uses for aluminium is its en-
lloyment in making the soles Of
shoes to be used by workmen en-
ployed in wet and damp places The
aluminium -Soled shoe lasts much
longer than an ordinary shoe, and
is said to be impervious to damp
ness. The growth of the aluminium
industry is little short of remarkable.
In 1913 72,379,090 pounds were con-
sumed in this country. The total
production in 1884 was only $50
pounds.

AS the conditions surrounding the

the opinion that the charge of no

should be dismissed and so recon :
mended. .s-.s.-
1t is our opinion that the govern

than $500 in labor and Improvements
having been expended on or for the
benefit of the Annex lode and ac-

Leaving out the question of the
Annex lode, the above decision is a
very fair and just one, and fully
warranted by the weight of evidence
produced at the hearing.
The case was stubbornly fought
but the attorneys for the defendant
prepared their case in very care
full and convincing manner and were
so sure of the facts that it was i'm
possible to overcome them They
worked very hard and energetically
to win the case and did so. and the
favorable decision for their clients
is entirely owing to them.
Mr. George w. Comerford, specia
agent for the government, was q
very able examiner and was thor
oUghly conversant with what was de-
manded of him. He was broad and
thorough and did not stoop to some
