Douglas Exports Will Be Taxed By Maytorena And CalleS-- Other Mines In Sonora To Benefit By New Order

Copper has gone higher On the last two days of the week it reached 1887 in instances and there were not few cases where sales of large quantities were recorded at 1875. This marks an increase Of from .25 to 40 over the closing price of the week previous and is an announce ment which tends to make an the brighter the outlook of red metal for the coming year
 At the same time comes the first announcement of the full resumption Of work by a copper mine. Friday morning the Copper Range Consoli- dated mining company Michigan mine resumed work on full time aft CT running on the half scale since the first of August. The operations will affect some 2,5OO miners, and marks the first steps of copper toward a sure footing.
 While no other mines of the country of large importance have announced a similar program tor the near future. it is known that many Of the mines in this state and Utah have increased their forces slightly, and are planning for a iu ture increase. It is also known tha all of the mines Of the country arc preparing rapidly now for the time when the demand for their OutD1 will be great that they will have t' work larger forces than eyer brior' in their history
 Locally there has been but slnui increase in the forces of the mne during the past week. Some few me' have been taken on chiefly in th divisions of the workings where de velopment is being pushed ahea' and preparations for the future ar being laid rapidly Production, how ever. has remained at about the sam figure as during the weeks since th curtailment first was inaugurateC Development on the other han' was increased considerably, and a thoughL no surprising results wer encountered. work has progresse satisfactorily in all departments.
 The matter of chief interest loca ly in the mining world is the ne' condition which faces producer south Of the border who are force 10 introduce their output into tn United States through the port . Agua Prieta. They are now, wit the new regimes in Sonora and th new adjustment which Uncle Sal has completed, forced to pay to tw Mexican governments two distin' and high import duties on all SUI pies and produce which they sh into the country where their mine are located
 But even worse than this is tf fact that all metals and ores whiC they produce and ship out of Sonol will in the future be subject to tv taxes for imports The first will collection by Maytorena, represer ing the Conventionalist form of go ernmeut The second export C will be levied by Gales for the Ca ranza form of government Maytc ena will collect his duties at Fro teras. Gales will take his litt lump of the revenue at Agua Priet recently presented him as a port
 From the standpoint of mon making this will render practical all exporting of metals and ores fro the state of Sonora through q Douglas port to the Douglas smelte where the Sonora mines have in ( past sent their output. Maytore win collect on silver in bars sl. per kio (about 2.2O pounds ayerC poise) and on silver in any oth form S2.20 On gold his export d les will be S64 per kilo in bars or
 loy and S8O in any other form. I'll tax will be collected at Fronter When the cars reach Agua Pri' another tax slightly in excess of Mexican Conyentionalists tax will
 levied before the cars will be allC
