NARROWED ON DESERT

TUCSON. Aug. 23.-Having passed a night marooned on the open desert with a broken automobile, and with only a quantity of canned stuff" for food. c. F. Hanson, mining man, returned to the city from a trip of inspection through the wide range of mineral country south of Tucson. The accident was due to interior troubles in the mechanism of the au- tomobile, but chiefly to the blowing out of one of the tires. near Robles.
 Mir. Hanson wa accompanied by boy who drove the car. Being un- able to repair it themselves. they made camp in the open as best they could and spent the night, eating cold canned goods for their supper and breakfast. As a result Mir. Han son Is at present undergoing a minor illness. arising from a dissatisfied stomach.
 In the morning they managed to get the automobile under way and iolted along on the rims to a point eight miles this side of Robles. where they got in telegraphic communica- ton with Tucson and had another car sent out to help them into town.

 BUT NJ CHANCE IN HE PRICES
Expected Advance in Copper Metal Will Bring the Gen eral Public Into The Market With a Rush
By Frank J. Graf

(Member Duluth Stock Exchange)
 Today's copper market was inclin- ed to be quiet, and there is stiR evi- dence of profit taking, although there was no change in the prices over yes terday. There was some trading in the more active issues, but the gen eral public is not in the market as yet. The reports of the copper metal are very assuring, however, and any advance in the price of the metal will bring the public into the market on short notice and the scarcity Of stocks around these prices will bring a big bull market In today's market there were no special features, Greene sold of fractionally and there are rumors that the company will decrease the capitalization in order to pay a div idend. Calumet and Arizona showded better strength with a point advance. Curbs hold about the same. Shattuck is slightly lower, although there is no stock pressed for selling. Denn is in good demand at 1-4 with light of- ferings. Inspiration is steady at 1-4 and there seems to be profit taking. New York stocks showed fractionally higher prices at the close. but the trading is limited and confined to but a few stocks.

HERuIES COPPER

PRESCOTT, Aug. 23.-W. P. Dun ham, gerenal menageT of the Hercules Copper company, of Ray left for Los Angles, Friday, where he will spend two weeks with his family, and then go to Mexico to look after his large mining interests in that republic says the Florence Tribune. Before leaving Ray he directed Superintendent Thomas to begin the work of sinking a tree compartment shaft on the Hercules ground This vertical shaft will be sunk 1000 feet as the bore holes on the ground, one HOO and one 1000 feet deep, penetrated ore bodies at the depth named. These bore holes went through three dis. tinct ore blankets and the average grade of these ore bodies is per cent. But there are also strata of ore in them averaging as high as 20 per cen. and levels from the three compartment shaft can be extended along these high grade strata and enough high grade ore he extracted to pay a profit over and above the cost of development work, a fact that warrants the sinking Of the three compartment shaft. The Her cules can now be properly chased as a high grade property, and has a brilliant future before it.

That cheerful farce known to the public as an inquiry into the causes of the cost of living" assumes more amazing proportions day by day. Some body or something is to blame for the prohibitive prices which mock our in- digence. and under no circumstances may the sensitive feelings of the pro tectionists be hurt. Consequently po- litical economists who are not calm enough to share the frank indifference of congress offer us strange and art less solutions of a problem which has grown too formidable for play, says Agnes Repplier.
 The most original of all these sug- gestiOns comes from an instructor in economies in the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsyl- vanla, who holds that food is dear be- cause women buy it and women have no basis for estimating the value of what they spend" Money to a man represents so many hours or days of labor Money to a woman stands for no economic effort. The price of all commodities Is unreasonably dear be- cause of the 'extravagant willingness of women to pay for them"
 If this be true all that is needed to reduce the cost of living Is that men shall shop and market The poulterer will not venture to ask $2.50 for a pair of chickens: the dairyman will blush at the mere thought of demanding 50 cents 6 dozen for eggs when confront ed by the wage earner of the family. Hogs were quoted recently at a fig ure calculated to make these lordly animals swagger in their sties, but they will soon be reduced to humility and moderation if the father of the family buys the morning sausage. Even the cook will cheerfully accept $4 a week instead of $7 when her master pays her wages, especially if she can be brought to understand that he Is philosophically indifferent to his food and that it was only the "extrav- agant willingness" of her mistress tC pay her ST which made her ask SC much

BIG COPPER DEMAND.

Boston-London cables indicate heavy buying movement of copper in that city. While much of this is un- doubtedly for speculative account, a considerable tonnage will find its way into consumers hands in various European countries.
 Electrolytic copper in this country is selling through October in 12 3-4 cent basis the higset price obtained for months. American consumers have bought tonnages but they have by no means filled their requirements. The American Brass Co. for instance has bought sufficient copper only for it's immediate requirements. This holds true, also, with other large consumers.
 A strong belief prevails among some of the largest producers and sellers of copper that the August statement of the Copper Producers Association will show a large decrease in stocks on hand. It is interesting 10 note that re-

BOSTON Mass. Aug. 23.--An Amalgamated copper interest says that from developments he believes that J. P. Margan is still interested in bringing about the big copper me.- ger which was so fiuently talked earlier in the year. It is the belief that Mir. Morgan is as anxious to ac- complish a merger of the copper companies as he was to bring about the steel corporation.
 In the latter case. however. he had to deal only with a few. and thus there were not so great difficulties us in the case of the copper companies In the latter instance there are so many small companies that while ir- dividually they do not count for much in the market. taken as a whole they are a big factor. And, besides this. they all looked for such big profits when approached in disposing ot their mines before that they were prohibitive to bringing about the con solidation so much desired.
 It is stated that so far as merging the large companies are concerned there seems to be no trouble, but to do so and leave a lot of the smaller

The Charm of Enthusiasm.

Have you ever realized what a charm there is in enthusiasm? Life is so often monotonous that we like occasionally to be wakened up with in- tsrest. and the person who is radiant over small things Is always a delight.
 The girl who carries enthusiasm into her work as well as into her play will find that she holds a winning card. Work that is done for the joy of working" is likely to be well done. Lack of interest makes for dull rou- tine. remarks a writer It brings dis content and often failure. The men who succeed are the ones who can in spire both themselves and others by their magnetic personality, and there is nothing so magnetic as enthusiasm People will follow us, like us and ad- mire US if we have it. It is worth cul- tiyating if it is not natural endow- meut

concerns would simply mean that the one big company would be managing the copper situation not only for it's own benefit. but for a great many others who would really be hurting rather than helping matters.
 This interest believes that it is only a question of time when we will have just as good times as we have ever had before in the copper metal market. but that the general business situation must improve greatly before any such market improvement in the copper metal market comes. The production of copper will have 10 be under even better control than that of steel. which means a consoli- dation of the great majority of the copper producing companies.
 The one encouraging feature of the present metal situation is that producers are naming their own price. Whether or not they can con tinue to do this remains to be seen, but in view of the fact that consum- CTS stocks have dwindled 10 prac- tically empty bins. it would appear that for a time at least producers will obtain their own price.

DECREASING SURPLUS E THE
 MOST ENCOURAGING FEATURE

important to note that the world's s surplus since the first of January lost, has shown an increase of but 2,233s- 767 pounds. This is in the face of an unprecedented output and the further fact that the restriction program late ly agreed upon among several of the larger producers has not yet had time to show it's effect on the refinery statistics.
 The statement of the Producers As sociation for July showed that there had been an increase in the American surplus during that month of but 2. 250000 pounds. Basis exists therefore for the beleif that the statistical posi-. tiOn of copper for the next few months at least, will be in the direction of a diminishing surplus which tendency should give some uplift to the price of the metal
