Great Earning Power of Copper Mines

There is now every possible basis
for the belief that the price of cop
per will average between 10 and 20
cents per pound during the coming
twelve months. AS the average cost
of production is not over cents per
pound, and as the mines of the
United States will produce an aggre-
gate of about 1,1OO, 100000 pounds
during the year 1907, the net earn
ings of the copper industry for the
period should approximate the as
tonishing sum of $11O,OO0,OOO.
The largest amount of money ever
dlsbursed by the copper mines of the
United States in one year was about
$4,000, 900, in 1905. This year divi-
dends will approximate $4,000, 900.
The treasures of the copper mining
companies are now full to overflow
ing, and during 1907 the companies
will feel called upon to disburse
practically their entire net earnings.
We have the prospect before us,
therefore, that 81 will be paid in
dividends next year where 81 has
been paid this, and that total of
fully 800, 100000 will be disbursed to
the holders of copper mining shares:
an average from now on of more
than S8,0OO,000 monthly.

Arizona Territorial Fair to be Held
November 18th to 18th.

Pratt Gilbert & Co., of Phoenix,
are sure enough Boosting the Fair"
They give as a special premium in
the Indian Spring Wagon race an
old hickory wagon. They are also
preparing to give away Il Sl35 buggy,
and every person wanting a chance
at this vehicle will be required to
register at their. exhibit, and they
must be residents of Arizona, and
oyer sixteen years of age.
In the cowboy relay races at the
territorial fair, only horses that have
seen actual service in rodeo work on
three separate years will be admit
ted, and they must be named at the
time of making entries.
The railroad companies are this
year giving free transportation on
all exhibits for the fair, including
race horses, from all points in the
territory. Full tariff rates are to be
paid to Phoenix, and at the close of
the fair, upon certificate that the
articles have been exhibited and
have not changed ownership, they
will be returned tree to point of
shipment and freight paid to Phoe-
nix will be refunded. All ores and
minerals for the permanent mineral
exhibit are transported free.
The ladies should remember the
bread contest at the fair this year.
1t will be worth while to try for the
premium. offered by the Phoenix
Flour Mills.
If you have used gas for cooking,
write an article, and if you have not
used it write what you would think
would be the advantages. You may
win the premium offered by the Pa
cifc Gas & Electric Co. for this
article which is to be awarded at the
territorial fair.

A Little Railroad Talk.

The Tombstone Prospector .has d
little talk about railroads and it is
of interest to Graham county. The
Prospector says:
BY a recent court decision the
Santa Fe's right of way through the
Box canyon in Arizona has been con-
firmed. This provides that road
with a favorable route to the Ari-
zona copper camps, and it is reported
that extensions to the Globe, Clifton
and Morenci camps will be started
very soon.
This is not the only direction in
which the Southern Pacific is threat
ened, for not only has the transcon-
tinental traffic from New Orleans
been assailed by several competitors,
but the new move of the Santa Fe
will place that road in a position to
claim good share of the business
from the Arizona copper camps. A
branch of the Santa Fe now reaches
to within forty miles of Globe, and it
is intended to extend this to Globe
and connect its Phoenix and Deming-
Silver City branch. Before Morenci
and Clifton can be reached 200 miles
more will haye to be constructed.
The Southern Pacific is not eX-
pecting to give up this rich field
without a struggle, as it is now spend

Plenty of Hot Air.

! We hear on every side of the won
derful things the democrats have
done in office during the past few
years, but they do not realize that
the democrats have always been in
power in this county and they say
nothing of what has been. done in the
past which is not so Creditable. We
believe in giving credit where it is
due and we commend those office
holders who have done well by the
county John Birdno has done well
as assessor, but what could John
Birdno have done but for a republi-
can governor back of him?
They also talk of the economical
administration of affairs, but they
say nothing of the fact that during
the past two years there have been
fewer criminal cases to be tried and
contested, fewer sessions of the dis
trict court, and consequently less
jurors fees and other expenses to
pay, and they say nothing of the
fact that there was something like
DJOOU SCI dolQC Ill lJOt lOI lllC pan
ing of the roads in the county and
that over $1,000 of the road claims
presented for the construction of the
roads for which this appropriation
was made, remain unpaid, or did un-
til just before the primaries when a
compromise was arrived at to pay
the claims on basis of S7t cents on
the dollar. None of this shows up in
the figures of which they are so
proud.
There are many things to be con-
sidered in this campaign, Mr.. Voter,
besides hot air and self praise. Give
credit where it is due, and lavish it
plentifully, but don't let yourself be
hoodwinked too much by only d par
tial display of the true condition.

The Tragic Death of a Miner.

While making repairs in the tim
bering of Junction shaft Thomas
Earthall, employed as d boss timber
man, was instantly killed at Globe
last week.
Earthall, according to story of a
fellow employe, was working OH the
1000 level and at that time both of
the cages were at the bottom of the
shaft. Some unknown person, who
evidently did not know the position
in which the timberman was working
gaZe the signal for the engineer to
hoist the cages. He carried out the
signal, and not having time to get
out of harms way Earthall was
caught between the edge of the cage
and the side of the shaft. His body
was terribly torn and death resulted
instantly.

New Mexican Jurist Tears Old Glory

is closely allied with the faction
which is now doing what it can to
embarrass the governor in his effort
to give New Mexico clean admins

elaborate preparations made for the

WHY THEY WANT JOINTURE.
Tired of Being Robbed by the Santa
Fe Gang.

The following personal letter to
the editor of the ERA is from one of
the most prominent citizens of Grant
county, and is the strongest possible
argument against jointure:
CLIFF, Grant County, n. NJ, Oct. 10, 1906.
My DEAR Mr.. LEONARDO see by
your paper you are opposed to joint
statehood. We Americans through
out the territory are in favor of
joining hands with you, not because
you are richer than we. But we
want your help to make US an
American state and help us over
come the Mexican vote, and put that
Santa Fe ring out of business. No
wonder we are poor with such a gang
using up every thing that they lay
their hands upon. So join hands
with US and help US make one of the
brightest stars in our national en-
blem. If you people will not you and
L meyer will live long enough to see
state made of either territory.
So join New MeXico's band wagon
and help US march together into
the halls of congress, and declare
our wants on the floor among other
statesmen of this great nation. |
never will vote for single statehood
for New Mexico. If we were one
great state corporations could not
dictate to our legislators like they
do now. Respectfully yours,
T. j. CLARK, SIR.

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

Copper continues firm and is
steadily gaining in price. Lake is
selling at POI and POI cents, and
electrolytic at POI cents per pound
| for delivery up to the end of this
year. The price of both grades is
approximately 20 cents, also, for de-
liveries during the first two months
of next year. The character of the
market seems to confirm the opinion
expressed some time ago that con-
sumers have planned to use more
copper during the coming six months
duce. 1t is believed that very
large amount of copper could be sold
at 20 cents per pound. Some of the
producing companies which have not
sold their entire December product
are asking 204 cent to 81 cents per
pound. Other producers are out of
the market entirely.
1t is declared on good authority
that sales of round lots of cleo
trolytic copper for December de-
livery have been made at 20t cents
per pound. More copper was sold
and contracted for in September
than in any previous month in the
history of the trade. 1t is belieyed
that sales amounted to between 50.-
100000 and 1OO,OOO,OOO pounds more
than was produced that month
This, in a measure, reflects the dis
position of consumers everywhere to
buy for distant advance deliveries.
1t is estimated that the various
selling agencies and producing COM
panies of this country sold 225, 100000
pounds of copper in September, of
which. about S5,OOO,OOO pounds was
for export. A representative of one
of the largest producing interests
estimates that the total increase in
production this year will not exceed
5 per cent. The existing scarcity of
labor in all of the copper districts
will limit next years increase, and
when the decline in the price of
copper comes it will not result from
overproduction.

Is Copper too High?

copper mas gone dbOVe ~ CenCS du(
producers and consumers alike ar,
holding their breaths to see what vii
happen. 1t is a question of whether
or not the world can afford to pay
the price.
In this connection a backward
glance is Illuminating. 1t is not SC
many years ago that horse-car lines
were almost the sole means of cheap
urban traffic in this country. In a
few of the larger cities, cable lines
were used, and the few elevated sys-
tens were steam actuated while SUBJ
ways were unknown. Rapid transit
in cities was confined to cable and
| elevated railways, and because of
| excessive first cost these were neces-
sarily limited to thickly settled dis
tricts. Congestion of people and
| traffic, high rents ana very unevenly
distributed real estate values re-
suited.
Urban and interurban trolley lines
have caused marked change for
the better in city life in America.
Built at low cost and operated cheap
! ly, they have to a remarkable degree
solved the problem of rapid transit
and haye widely extended the limits
of low priced residence districts,
making possible better and healthier
living for millions of people.
Can electric railway companies af-
ford to lessen new construction be-
cause copper is high? We believe
not. The cost of building and equip
ping trolley roads here, where grades
and other conditions are favorable,
is between $4,000 and $4,000 per sim
gle track mile for interurban lines
and between 100000 and $4,000 for
city lines. These figures include
rolling stock and power houses.
a bout 24,000 pounds of copper is
used per single track mile of inter
urban road and approximately $4,000
pounds per mile of city road-in-
Guiding copper used in car meChan-
isms, one car to four miles of road,
and fair allowance for copper in
the power house. At Is cents
pound. price which troubled no
copper consumer. the copper item of
trolley road construction, therefore,
costs about $4,000 and S2250, re-
speCtively. for heavy and light lines.
The advance to 20 cents has caused
increased costs of about Sl200 and
$3.50, respectively, which, when COM
pared to the heavy total costs of
construction and equipment are in
significant. AS freight carrying
electric railways earn big profits at
rates with which parallel steam roads
cannot complete, this comparatively
trivial added cost is not likely to
stop the movement for conversion.
SO it is with almost every import
ant use to which copper is put. The
demand for it is enormous only be-
cause of immense economies, there
for profits, that the metal makes
possible There is a limit, and i'll the
natural course of events that limit
be signalized by a marked decrease
in consumption. With the product
for the next six months practically
sold in advance, there is nothing yet

world can apparently afford to pay

Presidents Next Message Will Urge
PASSAGE inheritance Tax.

President Roosevelt has inserted
in the preliminary draft of his forth
coming annual message to congress,
a recommendation that d law be
passed imposing national tax upon
inheritances.
The president first called public
attention to this idea in his cele-
brated "muck-rake" speech which he
delivered at the laying of the corner
stone of the Office building of the
house of representatives, April IA.
The president will make every eff
fort to get law passed in the long
session which begins in December of
next year and will be attended by
congressman elected in November

"muck-rake" speech, after comment
ing upon swollen fortunes said.
As matter of personal convic-
tion, and without pretending to dis
cuss the details or formulate a sys-
have to consider the adoption of
some such scheme as that of pro-
-gressive tax on all fortunes beyond a
certain amout, either given in life or
devised or bequeathed upon death to
any individual-a tax so framed as
to put it out of the power of the
owner of one of these enormous for
tunes to hand on more than GER
tain amount to any one individual:
the tax, of course, to be imposed by
the national and not the state gov
ernment. Such taxation should, of
course, be aimed merely at the in

Rumors of diamond discoveries in

interest in his property. a short time
ago, that his suspicious became
