RAY CONSOLIDATED COMPANY HAS EXTENSIVE PLANS
 UNDER WAY.

PHOENIX, February l9.-The cree. tion of !, huge concentrating mill and shelter Ilant upon the property of the Ray Consolidated Copper company was decided upon at meeting of the di rectors of the Samnanv recently held at Colorado Springs.
 D. c. Jackling, who was made gem eral manager of the company at that meeting, was directed to proceed at once with the preparation of plans and the preliminary work will be under way within few months. The mill will start with 5000 tons daily capacity.
 It is the company's idea to construct the milling plant along lines varying but little from those embraced in the Utah Copper eompany's Garfield plant. It will be constructed in sections, as in the Utah Copper mill.
 The smelter will be constructed at the same time, and with the same ideas as to the increase of capacity. It is the company's intention to have both mill and shelter in commission within eighteen months.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SPEAKS FOR WORLDWIDE coNsER-
 NATION OF TIMBER
PASSING 0F ALL LUMBER SOON
THIRTY YEARS GIVEN AS THE LENGTH or TIME PRESENT
 SUPPLY WILL LAST

WASHINGTON, D. C., February 10. Conservation cooperation of ldwide scope was the keynote of an address by President Roosevelt made at the White House today before delegates in attendance upon the North American Conservation conference.
 This sentiment, first voiced by the president, gathered considerable mo- mentum during the days procee lings, and was reflected in the addresses of those who participated.
 Characterizing the movement as of the utmost importance to the world at large," President Roosevelt i'm pressed upon the representatives of this government, Canada and Mexlco, the momentous possibilities of the work that has brought about the assemblage.
 President Roosevelt, after the session opened, expressed the hope to Secretary of State Bacon, that a Universal Con servation congress, in which all nations should be invited to participate, should become reality in the not far distant future.
 As showing the necessity for a uni versal congress to deal with natural re- sources, the officials called attention to the report from Consul General Wynne, of London, relative to the royal commission appointed to inquire into the question of forest station in the United Kingdom. Experts examined by this commission with reference to the future scarcity of timber stated that in less than thirty years 10 tim ber would be available anless the diff ferent countries of the world set about replacing immediately and that if every country should take it up now the res toration would not be half fast enough to keep pace with consumption.
 Canada, said Commissioner Fisher, has watched with the closest attention the conservation movement in the Unit ed States.
 Romolulo Escobas. one of the Mexi can commissioners, declared the coDser- vation movement would find no bound ary line, but would eventually prevail in all countries
 A dark picture of alleged wanton destruction of American forests was painted by Senator Shoot of Utah.
 Senator Newlands prophesied that the movement will find constantly in creasing momentum and that the. idea will live and find its perfection in leg slation.
 The permanent organization of the North American Conservation congress was perfected upon the selection of Gif- ford Pinchot, member of the American delegation, as chairman.

COLONEL STURGES
 GOOD. BOOSTER FOR ARIZONA
TELLS WASHINGTON PUBLIC SEW ERAL REASONS WHY THE TER RIToRY IS ENTITLED TO MIME DIATE STATEHOOD.

Because the people who reside there are prepared for it and the platforms of both parties have promised it, I do not doubt that statehood will be given to Arizona at the present session of con. gress, declared Colonel Sturgess of Tucson at the Raleigh yesterday, says the Washington Post.
 The colonel is national committeeman from the territory and was one of the Taft leaders at Chicago. He is consid- cred certain. of election as the first sen ator from the new state. He owns big ranch in southern Arizona and is interested in some of the biggest mining enterprises in the territory.
 "I have lived in Arizona thirty years, s," continued the colonel, "haviug gone there in the early days, when it was still quite unknown, except through frequent Indian depredations. There were few Americans in the territory then, and because of the dangers and loneliness which surrounded them they banded together to protect their com mon interests. I saw some of the In dian fighting myself, but it was sporad- ic, and the Indians are now we'll tanned. From that time until the present l have seen the territory grow in civilization, until today it offers as great an oppor. tunity for young men as any state in the union. Indeed, if were 8 young man, I should head for the southwest and grow up with the new state.
 "Great riches have been mined in Arizona, but the surface has only been scratched. Last year We surpassed Mon. tana and Michigan in the production of copper We raise some of the finest fruit in tho world, and despite the inn pression that the territory has much desert land, have some of the best farm. ing there. The great Roosevelt dam will irrigate 100000 acres. By this and other irrigation projects the desert is rapidly being made to blossom. The climate could not be improved as is a. tested by the thousands who journey there for health. That the clear, ex- hilerating atmosphere has an effect on the mind is shown by the fact that the average scholarship in the public schools is higher than in any state in the union. The population now is about 100000, composed almost entirely of native Americans.
 "It has been contended that our pop ulation and resources do not entitle us to statehood, but it should be remem- bered that We have more people than some of the present great states of the union had at the time they were ad- mitted; that our resources are as un- developed as was. theirs, and that eco homie events are so shaping themselves as to make Arizona certain of . great future during the next generation. With the development of Mexico and the Or tent, assisted by the completion of the Panama canal, the possibilities of Ari- zona will begin to be realized. The time surely will come when she will be one of the first states of the union in wealth and popriisstt.on.

NEW YORK, February l9.-It is claimed that the recent figures given out by the Copper Producers associa tion purporting to show the stocks in this country of marketable copper were misleading in that they did not include pig copper. Pig copper, which is east off blister copper and not classified as refined copper, is, nevertheless, remark able in degree, as 30,000,000 pounds were exported in 1908 and over 42,- 100000 pounds in 1907. Commenting on this grade of copper in its report on the 1907 trade, the government said: "This unrefned pig copper was proba- ply used direct for casting purposes in Europe v Some pig copper is also used in this country for casting purposes. If the Copper Producers association fig ures were to include pig copper in the available stocks, it is estimated it would be found that the available stocks of copper in the United States amounted on February to 200,000,000 pounds, instead of little over l40,000,- GOO pounds, as given in the associa- ton s report

RYE COPPER COMPANY
 MAKES GOOD ORE STRIKE

E. r. Eisenhour of the Rye Copper company is feeling good over the news of an important strike of copper in that property. The report was brought in by MT. Black, foreman of the Max Bonnc cattle ranch, who stated that the parties doing assessment work had struck high grade ore in an adit tunnel, 200 feet from the portal and at yer teal depth of about l75 feet. Also bornitc ore running well in silver was found near the surface, at a distance of 1900 feet from the strike in the tun- mel. The ontcrop on the Rye Copper company's property indicates the width of the mineralized zone to be 250 to 400 feet.

 NEW YORK, February l9.-Verif- cation of recent reports of cut in steel products on reports from Pitts burg stating cut of s4 a ton for steel bars was announced, caused further liquidation in steel shares.

Reports from the railroads reflect in creasing traffic. The statement of the American Railways association for the fortnight ended February 6 shows de crease of more than per cent in the number of idle ears, while the Penn sylvana lines east of Pittsburg report an increase in coal and coke tonnage in excess of 10 per cent. On the Buff falo 6 Susquehanna the increase for six months was in excess of 12 per cent. The tendency to spend money on equip ment and repairs was more marked. While there were no enormous pur- chases of steel rails, there were many large orders reported, and several roads are in the market with specifications and booking of orders for equipment totalling into the millions.

GRAIN FIELDS FOR PASTURE
Too Close Grazing and Trampine OF
Ground by Cattle or Sheep In
jures Future Yield.

Wheat and rye sown for grain
should not be pastured by cattle or
sheep. as the close grazing and the
tramping Of the ground will injure the
future yield OF both grain and straw
If the growth is rank, lambs and cows
may be allowed on the field for few
days. When ground is dry. but close.
pasturing must be avoided The ex-
perience of practical farmers is
against grazing or cutting either
wheat or rye. however rank may be
the growth.

matter how great may be the growth

The same holds true In regard to pas
turing crimson clover and English

should not be pastured late in the fall
and during the winter months.
