COPPER PRICES

TT though copper is due to reach the 30
 cent mark before the end of the year. says the Salt A Lake Mining Review The recent sale of 400O00000 pounds to Great Britain has completely upset the plans of many of the larger buyers and left them less be- wdered of them have not yet covered their De- cember contracts Other large orders looked for at any time is known that the Italian government has already made inquiry for substantial amount for Janu- and February delivery This is regarded the first of several prospective foreign Orders it is considered probable that France and Russia will soon enter the mar ket for large amounts.
 Several of the big sellers have contracted their product ahead until after the first of the year. and consequently out of the market Some sold ahead as far as Feb ruary. For some time now, many of the ammunition makers of this country have been purchasing the metal as
 they have needed it, in the hope that the price would re- cede enough to justify them in laying sufficient supply
 to their contracts They badly worried by the course of events and are having hard time to secure enough for their requirements Most of them have recent y placed orders covering the first half of 1917 at prevail ing prices but it is the present requirements which cause them anxiety.
 Leading producers are asking up 12 cents for the small amount available for November delivery and cent less than that for December However the domestic de- mand IS expanding and the unforeseen may at any time push the price above these figures Orders have been re- corded for as far ahead Jy the present quotations showing 27 12 to 28 cents for the first quarter 2 IA to 2 l2 for the second quarter and 2c for later months
 Copper production in this country for October is est mated at 17OOOOOOO pounds which is an increase of 1O 100000 pounds September. The November prodUc- tOn is expected to reach about the same figure with small falling off in December The banner month of fine year May when 190OOOOO pounds was added to the worlds supply.

COLE BROTHERS
 CIRCUS HERE SOON

Cole Bros. World-Toured Shows and Wild Animal Exhibition to be here for two performances Ou Wednes- day, November p.
 Yesterday afternoon train No. 1 brought in Advertising Car No. 2, of Cole Bros. World-Toured Shows, Mir. William NJ. Killman, manager, with a crew of 20 billposters, lithographers, bannermen and programmers. Mir. Gilman and his men are hard at work to give the appearance of the show here all the publicity possible. They do not only post bills on all available spaces m town, place Autographs in windows of business houses, and ban ners of all sizes and pictorial designs on wood and brick walls, but men are sent out on routes in the country in all directions from the city for from 20 to 80 miles.
 Mir. Gilman has had years of ex- perience in the management of ad- vertising cars for the biggest shows on the road and knows how to adver- tise his show to the best advantage. He says there is only one Cole Bros. World-Toured Show and it is in a class by itself when merit, novelty and quality are considered. This famous show with it's two long trains of all steel cars, the only show in the world travelling in all steel cars, gives a varied program of two hours, con- sisting of wild and domestic animal acts interwoven with dozens of high closs European and American Arenic acts. Twenty funny, foolish clowns under the leadership of Happy" Bill ly Reid keep the audience in good hu- mur throughout the long program.
 The performance will be presented in three rings, a stage, and large steel arena. There will only be one Cole Bros. show day this season and on that day plenty of instructive and amusing features will be found and for once it must be conceded that at least one show not only exhibits all it advertises but ten times more.
 MT. John Henry Rice, the veteran show agent, was in the city some ten days ago and made all contracts and arrangements and record breaking crowds may be expected on Wednes- day, November P, Cole Bros. Show day.

INTEREST GROWS IN COPPER STOCKS

ATEW York financers and professional traders inn M bued with cynicism regarding all things mundane and many things spiritual but they have at last reached the conclusion that copper shares something more than mere ornate certificates desirable only for speculative purposes and to be raised lowered in price regardless of intrinsic values New York investors now realize that cOppers ongived conservative invest ment netting very attractive interest returns and these men are buying shares accordingly
 When the New Yorker makes up his mind that an in- vestment proposition IS mertOrOus he is prone to back his judgment to the limit and invest in big way His entry into the copper share market therefore is inn pOrtant
 To invest million dollars in a single enterprise re- qres some courage, if the investor is than passing rich. Yet, few days ago, New York did not hesitate to buy 10000 shares of Utah Copper on the New York stock exchange in the open market at SO8 per shares total of $1 080O00 This is only one example
 tending to show the strong drift of sentiment in favor of cOppers
 Several years ago block of 5000 shares of Utah Cop per traded for residence that stands today in Salt Lake City, the trade being made basis of per share $25000 for the dwelling. The same shares are valued at $54000O showing the amazing possibilities of copper stock investments.
 The Utah Copper company is known of the Jack
 ling properties because its affairs largely dominated by Colonel D. c. Jacking who controls number of ceedingy profitable mining companies. Colonel Jacking started his very poor man, while today he is rated multi-mhOnaire all of his wealth having been amassed in legitimate mining.
 There 1630 900 shares of Utah Copper issued and at present market prices these have cash valuation of around S175000000 An investment that pays as this copper enterprise has paid makes the four and five per cent offerings of SO-caed investment bankers seem ab surd and puerile No wonder these brokers become ill., natured when trying to pedde their in the face of competition they cannot meet; wonder they bitterly inveigh against all mining stock deusOn and snare. But investors nowadays like the querulOuS from Missouri and insist upon being shown they listen to the investment bankers with pying and reprOvng smiles and after listening they invest in mining shares.

SACKED ORE IS FOUND
 IN OLD SILVER HILL
CFrOm Thursday,s Daily Miner.l

Thirty-three sacks more of high grade ore have been found in the old Silver Hill workings, making a total of 73 sacks recovered within a week. The oreshoot from which this ore was taken has been found. Why the sack ed ore was abandoned and work of breaking down the rich rock not con- tinued will, perhaps, never become known.
 This ore will be saved and run through the company's mill when com pleted. The resultant brick will be re- tained as evidence of the unfair treat ment accorded the old Silver Hill mine by previous homogeneous.

Fire In Basement

A fire was discovered in the base ment of Lovin & Withers company store yesterday afternoon, but it's prompt discovery and the use of ex- tinguishers soon brought it under con- trol. The fire originated under a grating in the sidewalk above a win dow at the front of the store, some one possibly dropping a lighted match into the rubbish lying in the lower part of the opening.
 The place has been sealed up, which does away with what was a filthy place, on account of many people dropping their tobacco quids, cigarette stumps, matches and other things into the grated opening. Tobacco chewers used it as a mark to spit at and they usually kept the openings between the bars well filled.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL
 GAS Is INCREASING

The use of artificial gas as a domes- tic and industrial fuel is increasing. In households gas is replacing coal for cooking and to some extent for heat ing, and in the industries gas, mainly from by-product coke ovens, is now used for raising steam and firing open hearth steel furnaces. The advan- tages of gas as a fuel, not the least of which are its cleanliness and its ease of control, are well known. Many small cities and towns are using gas brought by pipe lines from the larger cities where it is manufactured. The utilization of artificial gas for illumi- mating, however, is decreasing, mainly because of competition by electricity.
 The quantity of artificial gas-oil and water gas and coal gas made at retorts and by-products coke ovens marketed and sold in 1915 was 266, 204, 4,248,OOO cubic feet, valued at $173,- 32,132, according to statistics col lected by c. E. Lesher, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. This was an increase of 25 per cent in quantity and IT per cent in value, compared with 1912, the next preceding year for which the sta tistics of this industry were collected by the Geological Survey.
 The aggregate output of coal gas in 1915 was 12S,1O3, ,346,OOO cubic feet, valued at 48,882,O07, an increase con- pared with 1912 of 43 per cent in quantity and 33 per cent in value Water gas enriched with oil, or car bureted water gas, is more generally used in cities than coal gas and form ed about AT per cent of the total quantity of artificial gas sold in 1915.
 In California, Arizona, and Oregon nearly all the artificial gas is made from oil and in some other States there are oil-gas plants. The quantity of oil gas manufactured and sold in the United States in 1915 was an in- crease, compared with 1912, of 1S per cent in quantity and 12 per cent in value. The average value of oil and water gas in 1915 was 90 cents per 1000 cubic feet, compared with 92 cents for coal gas from retorts.
 It is not possible to procure com plete figures showing the sale of arti- fcial gas for various uses, for the req son that in many cities the gas for Illuminating and for fuel is not metered separately. The statistics collected by the Geological Survey for 1912 showed that AT per cent of the artificial gas sold was used for illumi- mating. The statistics collected for 1915 show that 30 per cent of the gas sold was used for Illuminating, 48 per cent for domestic fuel, and p per cent for industrial fuel.

PRESCOTT, Aniz., Nov. 8.-Devel- oping mineral wealth and making min ing history to an accompaniment of sensational incident such as has had no counterpart since the golden riches of the Mohawk mine at Goldfeld were first unearthed is the daily, occupation of the mining men of Yavapai county. At Goldfield a single string gold drew the mine makers of yesterday to the treasure caches of Columbia noun tain and vicinity. In Yavapai county a half dozen strings copper, gold, sil- yer, tungsten, lead and zinc-are drawing the mine makers of today and tomorrow to a section of unsurpassed mineral wealth.
 The Crown King, Copper Basin, Tip Top, Weaver, Camp Wood, Big Bug, Lynx Creek, Groom Creek, McCabe, Verde, Congress, Hassayampa and other districts each have a pull of their own, and back of that pull is the mineral wealth of a county having few equals as a mining propositions county that stands squarely in the spotlight of mining interest and com mands the cream of mining invest rent.
 Little Daisy vs. Mohawk
 The Little Daisy (United Verde Ex- tension) mine in the Verde district oc- cupies a position in the mining affairs of Yavapai county relatively similar to that held by the Mohawk mine in the affairs of Esmeralda county, Nevada. That is to say-in the vernacular-the Little Daisy is as strong a "soda" card to play in the mining game as was formerly the Mohawk. You can Cooper" that bet all the way through the deal and win every turn out of the box; for the Little Daisy is probably the richest copper mine in the world As did the Mohawk, as a producer of high grade gold ore, so does the Lit tie Daisy, as a producer, of high grade copper ore, stand in a class by itself.
 The strike of some months ago in the Little Daisy mine is doing for the Verde district what the strike of a decade ago in the Mohawk mine did for the GoldfeId district. As with Mo hawk stock, so with Little Daisy stock, there was a time when it went beg ging. As it rested with the Mohawk to point the way to the bonanza gold ore deposits of the Goldfeld district, so it rested with the Little Daisy to point the way to the bonanza copper ore deposits of the Verde district. As the Mohawk indicated to the mniing world the great money making oppor- tunities of the Goldfield district, so the Little Daisy has demonstrated similar opportunities in the Verde district, Millions of dollars are now aavilable for the development of other proper ties in the big copper zone of the Verde district, just as millions of dol lars were available for development of the rich gold zone at Goldfeld fol- lowing the Mohawk strike.
 Interest is Increasing
 The rapid and marked advance in the price of United Verde Extension (Little Daisy), shares, has electrified the investment world. A few years ago they were without price. Less than two years ago they were selling at 40 cents per share. Today they are selling at $40 per share and upward. United Verde Extension has estab- hshed a market for the entire list of Verde district coppers. The demand for them is increasing and their prices are advancing in the face of new pro
