dyke, along which the ore is deposited with a distinct downward trend, which makes it necessary to put up raises from the main or tunnel level at frequent intervals, both to win the ore, and also to give better Ventila-
 tion at all points.
 It has been necessary to do a certain amount of drifting, crosScut- ting and raising, in order to extend the limits of the ore body and t) provide a passage for tramminS from the ore stopes. In pursuance of this work we have drifted and crosscuttcd a total of 12G1A feet during the year.
 we have also sunk a small winze 16 feet. In development work we ex- tended various raises 799 feet We have extracted from our ore stoDe a total If 7.610 tons of copper sulphide ore, of an average tenor of 2.21 per cent copper, and also
 containing small values in gold and silver This tonnage yielded the com pany's treasury a net revenue, after charges for shipping and smelter treatment of $13037O, or $1713 per ton.
 Our ore or reaching the outlet rom the HiSGinS tunnel Is nauteQ Dy
 teams to the Fl Paso 62 Southwestern
 railway station at Bisbee and thence shipped by rail to the Copper Queen smrlters, 26 miles, to Douglas, AriZ.
 Our smelting contract with the Copper Queen consolidated mines is still in force. and has resulted thus far, vory advantag geously to us in the
 final treatment of our ores as well as in excellent financial returns.
 II is our intention during the
 present year to aggressivelv explore and develop the Warren claim, where at present our main workings are confined, and we hope, by thus doing to very materially enhance the value of our property, by opening up new ore bodies.
 In December of last year we paid initial dividend of % cents per share on the capital stock of the company issued, and willie we have established no regular policy regarding future dividend disbursements, we hope to be in a position to do so whenever conditions warrant

Report on Quicksilver

The r. S. Geological Survey now has available for distribution it's an nual report on the production of quicksilver for 1914. The domestic production of quicksilver for the year was 16,5iS flasks, valued at $S11, $50.
 The price of quicksilver prices have been advanced to $100 and $105 per flask, owing to the great shortage created by heavy export demand. On this account it is also stated, the price is still likely to go higher.
 People arc now Investigating the quicksilver deposits north of Phoe- nix. and the area in Gila county, is proving up to all expectations, by the driftworb along the vein. It is probable more extensive development work will De undertaken very shortly
Arizona republican., 1915-11-07

Production and imports of copper are large but consumption is in creasing SC largely that stocks of metal unsold and available are un- derstood to be decreasing. The out look for copper in the next two years seems particularly good.
 No man can measure the probable extent of demand; while with develop ment of Alaskan and South Ameri- can mines now practically finished we know the possible limit of sup plies, except for extension of opera tions by two of our porphyry mines and arrangements to push develop ment of new and promising mem Der of this group.
 It seems a good time for new mines of merit on the American con- ties will be handicapped long after war is over. Even now. the Rio Tinto properties are severely handi- capped by labor troubles, and it is related in New York copper circles that the war has resulted in damage by violence and from neglect to the great Austrian mines that will re- quire many months after close of tle war lO ItDd.I lO lllt tAlcHl LII enabling them to resume regular pro- duction.
 After the war all Europe will want copper. Just now, Fthe possible Euro pean purchasers are limited by the difficulty in taking deliveries and the careful scrutiny of credits are proposals covering payments.'
 The absurditv of newspaper reports of an impending fall in the price of copper while big buyers were con- tracing for deliveries seven months ahead, at better than IS cents, has become apparent even to the prej- udiced writers who have been mis- informing the public of overproduction and accumulation.

Shattuck Arizona

The Shattuck- Arizona is a produc- tive little mine of 120 acres situated in the Warren Bisbee district. It is surrounded by lands belonging to Wolverine & Arizona, Copper Queen and Calumet X Arizona.
 As all boundary and apex questions were settled in advance, the four mines are worked in harmony. and Shattuck's single shaft is connected for safety and ventilation with those of it's three neighbOrs.
 Shattuck Arizona ore runs high around 7A per cent copper, with silver and gold values, and is smelted by the Calumet X Arizona Co. at Douglas.
 Production is at the rate of f4.00O,- 900 lbs. per year with indicated earn ings of around s per share. Divi- dends of soc per quarter are paid.
 A dividend of soc and an extra dividend of soc per share on the capital stock of this company. have been declared payable November 20, to stockholders of record at the close of business, October 30th, 1915.

Miami

The Miami recently increased it's dividend rate to S4 per annum, but the company has been doing so well that another increase is already talked Of in quarters where there is a bullish sentiment on the stock.
 The statement for September showed lower costs than the management had ever predicted. The production was more than 4,oQ0,000 pounds and the costs just broke the homogeneous prediction of cents, being 7.9 cents. Profits for the September quarter are expected to run well above divi- dend requirements.

The Copper Outlook

\ New York house wires over to- day:
 Producers of copper are satisfied with the present condition of the market and consumers are nervous over the outlook. Europe is sound ing sellers as to chances for placing large orders. Makers of ammunition and brass factories are also in posi- tion where they must buy soon. A few large sales have been made in the last few days at IS cents. but Europc is paving more.

Inspiration

A State Street man says: with millions of tons of ore developed and a great mill going gradually into commission Inspiratio promises to become a big producer and money maker in 1916.
 Spectators who buy the stock on rumors of a merger with Anaconda on a basis of IF shares for one, should remember how Anaconda took over Boston & Montana Butte & Boston, Parrot and Butte Coalition in former years.
 "Of these Butte & Boston, owned by the Rogers Group" was the only one that received the price indicated by early moves in the market Butte Coalition, quoted around 50, finally went in at 21; Parrot, that often sold above 50, received the equivalent of G.
 '"The chances are about 1 to 3 against an immediate sale of Inspira- ton at present prices, but the mine is promising enough to go it alone and make a great success

Calumet & Arizona

Including the American Saginaw group and the property of its sub sidiary. the Superior & Pittsburg, Calumet X Arizona owns 1929 acres in the copper producing Warren Bisbee district, adjoining the well known Copper Queen and Shattuck Arizona mines.
 The consolidated company has eight working shafts, most of them with four compartments. and has a pro- duction capacity much greater than has yet been reachtd. In 1912, the year after the control of Superior .& Pittsburg was secured, dividends amounting to s4.25 were paid. and Calumet & Arizona shares sold as high as S3H.
 Since that time the company has developed and financed the New Cor nelia a steam shovel proposition in the Ajo district, setting aside out of earnings for the purpose upwards of s3, ,OOO, 900.
 In addition Calumet 6t Arizona owns other promising properties in the Copper. Creek, Courtland, and Pioneer district of Arizona and in Sonora, Mexico. These appropria- tions from earnings have kept the dividend rate and the market price of the stock below normal, but the extraordinary expense account is now practically closed.
 The mine is now producing at the rate of over 65,0OO, ,O00 lbs. per year at q cost of under 8 cents and in c1uding returns from gold and silver, is making a profit of over s11 per Sh Two hndiaG hoy been struck at the Bisbee properties.
 Within a few years assured returns from the investment in New Cornelia will add largely to earnings avail able for dividends.

risen to 22O, May q, 24O July 31. and Sept 30, with sales at 250 and 265 in June.
 There are only 512 stockholders. Without inspired publicity or ex- ploitation in the market. the great copper company carries on a profit able business of mining copper, silver and gold.
 Figures of profits in recent years were:
 1912 Profits ...... O,2S5, ,1S6.00 Per share ............. 22.S5
 1913 Profits ........ ....$9,4O7, ,7o9.OO Per share ..-............ 20.90
 1914 Profits ....... ........ $6,664, ,S39.00 Per share .... 14.SO Dividends were: s16.5O in 1913; $14 in 1914; and $14.5O thus far in 1915. Surplus amounts to over $7,000,004. The Phelps-D Dodge Co. owns all the stock of the Copper Queen mines in the Warren Bisbee district; the Mon- tezuma of Sonora, Mexico; and the Detroit of the Clifton Morenci dis trict of Arizona.
 The Detroit mine is involved in the present strike melted by the Western Federation which has already been beaten at Butte, and in the Lake Superior district, as well as at Miami and Ray. Dr. James Douglas of New York president of the com panies, energetic and active at so years, is now at Clifton directing the campaign against the discredited Fed eration.
 The Phelps Dodge Co. owns much valuable undeveloped mineral lands and has lately acquired claims around Tombstone, Arizona, and the BurrO Mountain mines in the Tyrone camp, near Deming, New Mexico. (ahout 100 miles southeast of Clifton) which is making a sensation in the South west.
 It will be strange indeed if sooner or later this well managed growing and prosperous copper company does not attract the attention of market operators in New York and Boston. Few arrangements have made a great CT success in mining and fewer have paid so little attention to speculation and to manipulation of their shares. The Phelps-Dodge people have brought wealth to many buyers and ruin to none.-BCStOn News.
