COPPER PRODUCTION FOR 1910
IN CLIFTON.MORENCl DISTRICT
20 Was Added the Wealth of the Country From the
Mines of GreenIee County. and the Outlook Is For
Greater Production in 1911.

business and all the wire mills are
turning out as much wire as at any
previous time since the 1907 panic.
There is very little prospect of any
| immediate advance in retail prices
Should the political and legal prob
lens which now confront corporations
and business in general so change as
to encourage an abnormal volume of
industrial activity in this country, il
would correct the copper situation
very quickly and bring about some
what higher level of prices.
There is no denying the fact that
the copper mines, mills and smelters
of the world are now in a position to
put out more copper than the con-
sumiug interests are prepared to abb
sOrb. AS have previously pointed
out, this is in many respects a tempo
rary condition. Copper producing
capacity has been supplied in excess
of the present demands of the trade !;
but for several yesrs to come con-
sumption promises to grow much more
rapidly than new concentrator and
smelter construction. Within two or
three years consumption should again
exceed production sufficiently to ab-
sorb the surplus, permit of maxi
mum output by all the mines aud car
ry the price of metal up around Is or
Is cents again.

Geo. L. Walker in his weekly cop
per letter under date of May l3, in
writing about the metal mkrket says:
Copper is quiet aud the market
heavy. Lake is l21 to II SS cents
and electrolVtic is II l-S to LIT cents
a pound. The present requirements
of practically all consumers we're
provided for during the buying move
ment which occurred late il April.
Before the end of another two weeks
consumers must enter the market and
buy again. Almost no disposition is
shown by producers to offer prices
down. Whatever pressure there is is
caused by the selling of odd lots by
very small producers, brokers and
spectators.
Copper producers statemonts for
pounds in the domestic surplus.
Against this, it will be re nembercd,

$40, 430, ,46S pounds, which compares
with 38S, ,S47 ,S39 pounds a year ago,

on July l, 1910. In only two months
last year, November and December,
was the worlds surplus smaller than
it is at present.
The demand for copper is strong
all over the world except in the Unit
ed States. Deliveries here Indicate
a falling off in consumption this year
as compared with last, of between l5
aud 20 per cent. Electrical interests
cannot understand this general de-
preston, as their business is excel
lent. Brass makers, however, say
that in their opinion consumption has
decreased considerably more than 20
per cent. Thus a decided change in
the general tendency of metal con-
sum ption in this country is brought
to light A year or two ago the brass
business was declared to be good, and
the wire mills were then running to
only so or 40 per cent of their capa
city. Now the brass business is dull,
some factories running only four or
five days a week; but the electrical
manufacturers are doing q splendid

Southern Methodist church and in
cidentally visiting Washington, re-
turned home yesterday and is
enthusiastic over the prospects of
Immediate statehood for Arizona,
and believes he can pick the winner
in the next presidential campaign.
He went to hear Woodrow Wilson
speak at Norfolk, Va, and says that
the New Jersey governor is a certain
winner if the democrats nominate
him.
He says the church folks will be
glad to hear that Bishop Waterhouse
is assigned to this field for another
year and that the boards of missions
and church extension are liberal in
their appropriations to the work in
Arizona.
TO representative of the Demo
crat he gave the following interview
on the question of statehood and
some sidelights on the capital city:

mitted at this special session. Our
friends have been SO encouraged by

Washington, May 10. = Neither
branch of congress is in session today
but the committees are active.
The house committee on territories
is again considering statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico, the delay
having been caused by the iusistance
of republican members that New

There will be a minority report

Walking north on Moutezuma street
in Prescott Last week Ernest Cresti,
known as kid Kirby" was assas-
siuated by "Bill" Campbell, a negro.
Eye witnesses pronounce the shooting
among the most cold-blooded in the
history of Northern Arizona. Kirby
was shot in the back without warning,
dying less than three minutes later
without uttering a word. Campbell
was arrested by John Hudgens, night
officer of jerome who was in front of
the court house at the time of the
killing. He was locked in the county
Jail and appears unconcerned as to
the enormity of his crime. The
shooting was the elimination of a
gambling quarrel in the tenderfoin
district.
If Tempe carries out its part of the
agreement, and there is not the
slightest cause to doubt it will, work
will be commenced on the Tempe
wooden mills this fall, and next spring
they will begin turning out their
product, giving employment to many
operatives.
