THE NEWS OF TUCSON
AND PIMA COUNTY

From the Citizen.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean last Sunday
contained nearly page interview with
Mayor David S. Rose, of Milwaukee,
Wis.,, and Twin Buttes, Arizona. The
article was headed "Dave Rose, Mil
waukee Mayor or Arizona Senator?"
1t was illustrated, one drawing show
ing Mayor Rose with silk hat in the
conventional dress of the Fastener,
and the other picturing him with SOM
brero, and the blue shirt and outfit
which he donned the day the cayuse
fell with him in front of the Santa Rita
hotel. The article has long interview
with Mayor Rose in which he tells the
real sentiment of Arizona on the state
hood proposition.
From the Tucson Post.
Stockholders in the two national
banks in the city on Thursday secured
writs of injunction restraining the city
from putting them on the delinquent
rolls. They claim that national bank
stock cannot be taxed for city purposes.
1t is now said that the completion of
the Steinfeld block will almost immed-
lately mark the erection of buildings
upon at least one of the opposite cor
ners. A sixty room hotel has been
planned for the Methodist church cor
ner, but whether this or an office build
ing will be put up has not been decided.
The bridge gang of the Twin Buttes
railroad came into town from the min
ing camp the first Of the week and
established new camp about four
miles south of town, up to which point
the bridges are all in and the track
nearly all laid. From now on the track
laying will depend upon the speed with
which the bridges go in, as all work i
to be done from the work train. There
are some sixty bridges large and
small-to be put in between the present
point of work and the mining camp. A
few of them are long ones and viii
require considerable time for construc.

from Los Angeles leaving debts

Arizona. During his swindling career
Barbour has operated in Williams and

COPPER IS KING
Its Production in the United States Sur
passes in Value that of Gold and Silver


Not Including pig iron and coal, cop
per is now the king of minerals in the
United States, the production in this
country surprising in valuation that of
gold and silver combined The valua-
tion of the copper output Of the United
States in 1905 was about $l45, 900, 900;
gold, $50, 800, 900; and silver $35, $50, 900.
In other words, the valuation of copper
exceeded that of gold and silver COM
bined by nearly S25, 100000. The valu-
alton of copper exported from this
country in 1905 was nearly $50, 900, 900,
but this includes a percentage of the
production of Mexico and other adjoin-
ing countries.
Last year copper was surpassed in
valuation by only two other minerals =
coal valued at S536, 500, 900 and pig iron
valued at S377, ,623, 054.
The question has often been asked:
Is copper production too rapid? Will
production, as result of higher prices,
eventually exceed consumption and
thereby upset the law of supply and
demand and demoralize the industry?
History does not bear out this the
ory. Like all other minerals, copper
has passed through various stages of
prosperity and depression, but a review
of the past half century will find that
copper has been less subject to reverses
in the matter of production than pig
iron. The increase in the output of
copper has been steady for the past
fifty years, averaging seven or eight
per cent year. Few years have wit
messed an excess of eight per cent.
Within the last ten years the pro-
duction of copper in this country has
more than doubled, but most of this
excess has been taken by foreign
countries. At the same time it can be
said that the increase in the output of
copper has hardly kept pace with the
electrical progress of the world. AS
an illustration, the growth of the Gen.
eral Electric Co., one of the leading
consumers of copper, can be taken. In
1899 that company employed about
5000 men, while today it is employing
about three times that number. The
progress of the Westinghouse compan-
les has been as rapid.
The General Electric and Westing-
house companies acknowledge that the
demand for electrical apparatus has
exceeded their capacity and recently
provisions were made for new stock
and bond issues totaling more than
$50, 900, 900 for the purpose of enlarging
their respective outputs.
The electric companies have launch
ed themselves into another field that
promises to be the largest source of
copper consumption in existence. the
electrifcation of the great railroad
systems in the country. Arrangements
have already been made for the intro
duction of electricity as motive pow
er on the suburban lines and terminals
of several important railroad systems,
and this is one of the reasons for the
creation of new capital for the extern
sion of electric plants.
The two great industrial metals, cop
per and pig iron, have travelled hand in
hand for the past half century and at
present there are no indications that
this close companionshi. /, will be severed
in the near future.

The Baseball Season Opens.
