BUREAU OF INFORMATION.
Business Men and Miners Meet to
 FORM ASSOCIATION.

A number of the business men and miners of the Clifton Morenci district met at l ibrary hall Saturday night last to take the preliminary steps to- ward the organization of a bureau of information. through which it is pro posed to advertise the mineral re- sources of the district. John Moul- der, of Morenci, was chairman and Editor Valjean secretary. A commit tee consisting of Crawford. Valjean and Bennett was appointed on perma- nent organization, and Messrs, A. C.. Smith, J, c, Molder, Lamar Cobb, H. B. Rice and J. E. Thompson were ap- pointed a committee on finance. The principal object of the association is to prepare a weekly letter on the dis trict for all the mining journals. A collection of the minerals of the dis erict will also be made, and an office where information concerning the dis trict can be had. The committee will report at a meeting to be held at Lii brary hall tomorrow night. All citi- zens interested in the district are re- puested to attend the meeting.-Cop- per era.

THE COPPER MARKET.
High Price of the Metal Due to the
 Heavy Foreign Demand.

Copper is firm at about the same prices as last week. Lake 1888 to 13 l-2 cents and electrolytic 1914 to 13 3-S cents. London quotations have made a substantial net gain dur ing the week, and foreign advices are as a rule bullish. It is understood that domestic consumers have this bought copper with more freedom than for some time previously. Pro- ducers all report that they find a ready market for their copper. and several of them have sold all of next months output and more or less for June delivery.
 The high price of copper is not the result of a stampede to buy on the part of consumers or spectators. It has come about through a heavy in crease in the foreign demand, due largely to the Russo-Japan war aided by improving business conditions throughout Europe and Asia. There will be extensive additions to foreign naval and military equipment this year. and all previous records of Eu- ropean electrical development will be set at discount.
 Many consumers doubt the legiti- macy of the present copper market, and consequently are buying as little for future delivery as they feel ob- liged to buy. There is, however, ab- solutely no ground for the belief that metal market conditions are in any sense due to manipulation. The cop per exported is going direct to con- sumers and is not being stored. There is no stock market speculation or activity such as would be were metal prices being advanced to facilitate the unloading of securities: and no logical reason or explanation can de presented that will show how any in- terest has benefited or can hope to benefit from the rise in prices except that it is a seller of copper. and if all interests have sold, market condi- tions are by no means fictitious. To claim that the Amalgamated com pauy has advanced prices by buying and hoarding copper, in the meantime giving all the independent companies an opportunity to sell at more than normal prices and secure great pro- fits. is giving that company credit for
