country. Exiwrt figures for the month
up to this time clearly reflect those
conditions and only the home demand
showing heavy increase could prevent
an increase In the copper surplus.
But the conditions are not considered
.. at .all alarming1. In the face of a
year of the greatest production orcop-
-r-lrf the history of the nation the
reserve stock of copier remained
close to normal. It may be that there
will be a still further decline, though :
this is not anticipated, yet the air
or confidence among copper producers
has not been disturbed. A continuance
of 17 to 18 cent copper would have
meant a quicker awakening to the op
portunities for investment In unde
veloped copier properties but even at
lower prices the Incentive remains
though in a diminished extent.
Placer Claims Optioned
The most recent deal to be re
ported locally is an option upon placet
claims belcw Warren owned by eight
local people It Is reported that the
owners of these claims will receive
Su.Oflo if the deal Is consummated.
Iteport has it that the option Is for
nine months and that the first pay
ment is to bo made In July.
The placer ground below Warren
lias been proven to carry good valuev
In gold and the sole problem is the
washing of the dirt cheaply enough.
The group reported sold is only one
of peveral owned by local parties.
Much of that country ha. been taken
up under placer claims and the results
of the present option are therefore
awaited 'with more than ordinary In
teresL If it can be shown that the
gold can be extracted from this dirt
profitably Illsbee can expect a num
ber of placer camps close at hand.
Good Sulphide Strike.
From the Clumet and Arizona offices
It is learned that there was encoun
tered in the past week a body of sul
phides on the 1200 level of the Hoat
on. .Thus far they have cut this body
for twenty feet, are still In ore anil
exploration and development of it ha&
only Just started. In other develop
ment and exploration work the com
pany Is proceeding upon its well fixed
lines of polfcy and had no further In
formation to give out.
At the Junction the work of con
creting Is being continued and more
rapid work Is being done than at tho
outset ns a result of the lessons that
have been learned by experience that
have taught the best methods.
The Calumet and Arizona company
continues at practically the same pro
duction figures this month and li
shipping close up to the capacity of
tne smelter In its present stage.
Copper Queen Is Busy.
With the new development work
that Is In progress, the installation of
new machinery, construction work
and preparations for construction
buildings and keeping the output of
the mines up close to record figures
tbe Copper Queen la busier than In
several years.
Further sinking at two shafts, the
Silver Bear and the Sacramento tlra
ler shaft has progressed steadily
during the week as has the drilling
on the Copper Klng.prpperty and the
development of the' Sacramento por
phyry -country.
In the porphyry development the Im
portance can hardly be over esti
mated for the proof of values ninuiu9

certain to be of much value to the
district. Thus far tbe develoutaenU

Develop Lead-Sliver.
Shattuck continues developing the
lead-silver strikes that were men
tioned last week and the shipment of
this class of ore to the El Iaso "htaelt
vr. Iteturns show that this chanictei
of ore will materially add to tht
dividends paid by this company and
to the value of the property.
Beyond the statement that devel-
situation is entirely different now than
It was In 1907. when the nrlep of
lake copper declined from 20 1-2 ;o
12 1-2 cents. At that time consumers
had overbought, anticipating an ad
vance of at least 20 or 35 cents s
pound. When the market weakened
they endeavored to resell their su.--plug
holdings and there were three
or four sellers for every buyer. Con
sumers are -now entirely -bare of sup
Plies and the world's visible surplus
Is insufficient to overstock them, even
If they bought It all.
Of course the worldVprbductlop is
very large and when the buying move
ment Is resumed It will have to be
continued in order to sustain prices.

i5. The mining industry nas had a
rather variegated existence in Sonort
during the year Just ended. The revo
lut'on. although not general In the
state, came along Just at a time when
the country was recovering from the
war ot 1910-11, and many properties
which had resumed but a short time
before were again forced to clo-w
down, the operators leaving the state
ana seeing new ttelrts of mining, many
or them going to Arizona. With the
revolution came bandit organizations
which preyed upon the small mining

railroads sun r red great damage
through the rebels burning bridges ,e

causing many properties to suspend

and ship their ptoduct. With the end

the state, and freighters were afraid
to provide transportation for the
mines located at distances from the
tallroad for fear of th Indians, ln
somo instances the Indians L'ilpd '.he
freighters and took the animals and
also the ores. With the ending of
the revolution the Yaoui troubles re
mained unsettled, but, with confidence
partially restored, quite a number of
properties resumed operations.
The better prices In the market for
metals had considerable to do with
th's feature and properties which op
erated steadily throughout the t.-ou
ractlon. All the equipment has been
overhauled prior to a s'eadv period
of operation, which has already bee-i
commenced. Dr. Walter Ilarvev
Weed Is the consulting engineer and
general manager of the company and
under his guidance the property win
eventually be made a steady producer.
W. H. Tangye Is the superintendent
in charge. The company Is In better

the year and In December blew in uj

about 18.000,000 pounds. The main

able however, that tbe company will

siderable ore 's blocked out ready for
extraction, while immense ore bodies
await further development.
The CananeaiBoston companv- op

Old Dominion Is now making addi

should enable it to produce 40,000,00(1
pounds of copper annually. In 19H

Kay Consolidated ls not as yet mak

ton of ore has been reduced from $6j
82 U. S cyv In 1907, to $2.37 in 1911,
and 1912 is a trifle lower. The 1911
cost of copper per pound to the corn
pany was 9.S43 ct-nts, and. It is under
stood that the 1912 cost will be con
siderably closer to 9 cents. During
the year many Improvements havo
been made on the equipment of the
company, besides the opening up ot
several new ore bodies. The most
important of the latter Is that at the
Capote, where a sulphide body has
been found to extend practically from

Calumet & Sonora
The ' Calumet and Sonora company
Is again producing after being Idle
for over three months during the lat
ter -jwrtlon of the year, and shipments
hsve been resun(ed. I The company
ha installed an electric hoist and
with'n 1h next month or two the en
tire equipment will be operated with
electricity as motive power. Tbe
company's production during the year
(up to September 9) was the follow
'ng: 1161 Ions of copper concentrates
which netted them $33,450 l. S. ry.
Resides the copper content the con
centrates carried 2-3 ounces of silver.
11.41 per cent zinc. The concentrates
were smeltcred at the Cananea smelt
er The zinc concentrates totalled
1834 tons, which averaged 43.76 per
cent zinc, and which netted tbe com
pany $36,431. These concentrates are
smelted In Oklahoma. Lead concen
trates amounted to 747 tons, which
averaged 63.55 per cent lead. 31.29
ounces silver, 4)4 per cent copper, and
brought the company $28,632 net. The
El Paso smelter bandied the lead.
The total earnings for the company
for the period of operation totalled'
$93,513. The production for 1913 Is
likely to be at least four times this
amount. During the year the com
pany has done considerable develop
ment work. The shift has been sunk
to the 525-foot level from the 400 stv
