 Now that Verde Tx is around $40. the

 is possible that we may hear people

 is that the price may go to above $500

 is equally true that only about s30 per share is more or less imperfectly

 no telling how high Verde Ex may climb. That the ore does not extend downward indefinitely" is certain. for i 1t is not in the nature of such ex-

 ''ir"o the first Of this year Inspira . ton has produced 76,653, 900 pounds of ~ppel, with costs in the neighbor- hood of S12 cents. Assuming that pro auction is maintained at the present rate for the balance of the year. a to- tai of l22,450,000 pounds will have been produced which. on a 25-cent metal price, will yield net profit of more than $2O,0000 900. equal to approximate " s17 per share of stock now ont standing.

 Production of Miami for the month or August maintained the high rate established by the immediately ure- ceding months of this year. Outpnt Tor the month was 4,49S, 900 pounds of copper Miami seems now in a fair way 10 produce 5l.000.000 pounds of copper Tor the 1916 year If production is maintained at the present high record thls can be done easily. Usually there IS some reduction in the output durinp the height of the winter but il is doubtful if more than the month of De cemDer's production win be affected by this cause
 The enormous strides in production made by Miami during the past year or two are clearly shown when com i pared with records of recent years Last year total production for the twelve months period amounted to onlv 4l,bl3,OOO pounds of copper. against (, production for eight months, so far this year, of o4,O63.OO0 pounds and an ndi- | rated production of 5l.000. 900 pounds | was produced in the eight months | prior to the outbreak of the Euro 1 pean war.
 Costs at Miami, according to the re- l port for the first six months of the 1 current year. range slightly under 9 ! cents pound the exact amount being S.s5 cents per pound. In 1915 costs | were S.76 cents a pound and in 1914 s.2 cents. With costs at cents q | pound. however, and an output of 5l,O0O,0O0 pounds for the whole of the 1916 year, Miami should be able to earn close to sl1.50 per share. if 1t can re- celVe an average price for metal of 2f cents per pound Actual share earn ing in 1915 amounted to s47g each, bu- the company received an average price Tor It's output of only slightly abov, lT cents pound that year.

During his visit in Gotham, Secretary Cook sue ceed~d in interesting many infllen- tial mon and a number of eminent mining engineers in the newest cop pcr sensation -Inspira ten Needles.
 Two more standard drills have been ordered hv the company and will arrive here Thursda~. They will be spudded in immediately upon their arrival. This will double the present equipment Of the company. and will enable development of the property to be rushed with all possi- ble speed.
 To date the result of the two drills. whi h are now operating three shifts, have heen highly encouraging. Drill No. is town to a depth of nearly 40G feet while drill No. has already reached q depth of 150 feet. and Is making about 25 feet per day.
 With the increasing depths of the two drills ore values are getting higher. Tn view of this fact ar raneemente are being made to in- crease the number Of drills to seven for the purpose of operating m a greater number of locations on the extensive holdings which comprise mere tEan 700, acres lying to tho west Of the property of the Inspira tion Consolidated Copper Company which is one of the largest singl. producers in the world.

FARM IMPLEMENTS SOARING
Manufacturers Announce Advance on
All Sorts of Agricultural Tools
War Demand Cause.

No matter whether you call spade
a spade or an agricultural implement,
it is going to cost you more thisspring
than it did last season. For months
the manufacturers Of farm imple-
ments have been toying with the gen.
eral advance in prices. Now the blow
has fallen.
C. D. Marshall & Co., and George
R. Bergman & Co. have received no
tice of an advance of from to 10
per cent effective this month. This
includes practically every machine
and tool used on the farm.
Binders, mowers, plows, drags and
every other implement will be affect

dealers buy their goods, the price is
the same. There is no combine, but
when one big manufacturer announces
a raise, the remainder follow suit.
The increase is attributed to the adj
vance in steel goods resulting from
the war demands in Europe. All raw

difficulty in obtaining sufficient sup
ply, according to notices received by
retail dealers.
All kinds of wire fencing also have
been affected since the war began.
There have been four advances in
price within the last two months and
the end is not yet. Wire fencing it
about rs per cent higher than it was
last year.
, Binder Irvine has joined the aviation
corps and will be from. to A cents
higher than it was last season. No
prices have been made, but from the
indications the Irvine which sold for
6A cents a pound will retail at 9 or
10 cents this year. This advance is
attributed to the trust in Mexico
which practically controls the export
of raw fibre used largely in America.
The government is investigating
the Irvine trust, but it is not likely to
have any effect on the situation this
year, according to dealers.
