system. Organizers Of the strike af-
firm. that the men by exercising self
denial can hold out as long as the
capitalists for political reason only.
All appearances go to show that the
strike will continue for a consider
able period.
The printers Of the capital struck
work at midnight, but as the newspa-
pers were practically ready for pub
LEGATION at that hour all appeared as

THE METAL MARKET.

1 Geo. l.. Walker, writing in the BoS- ton Commercial last Saturday, says:
 Copper is quiet but the tone of the market is firm. Lake and electroly- tic have been selling at 15 to 151s cents pound for week past. Con- sumers have bought heavily for March and April delivery and also have taken more or less May copper. The domestic demand has been excenent, and the export movement much larg- CT so far this month. So far as can be learned there has been very little decrease in foreign consumption All indications are that this will be big year in copper consumption.
 The Copper Producers statement for February was more favorable showing than expected Surplus sup plies in this country decreased S96, ,134 pounds; domestic deliveries aggregat- ed 59,676,492 pounds and exports 72, 16S,523 pounds. Total deliveries slightly exceeded the average monthly deliveries of 1912, notwithstanding February is the shortest month in the year. The foreign visible supply, in England and France, decreased f. 596, 4S0 pounds during February, but the stocks at Hamburg and Rotter- dam increased S,117,760 pounds. All figures considered, therefore, the worlds visible supplies increased g. 625, ,O46 pounds during February
 All of the copper recently exported probably has not been sold. r. has been sent to Europe to meet a grow ing demand for immediate deliveries. The tight money situation and high in- terest rates, especially in Germany, are preventing consumers there from making engagements two or three months in advance or from stocking up with copper at present prices. Spot copper is bringing a relatively higher price there than that for May and June deliveries, hence the producers are meeting the situation and losing nothing thereby.

COPPER, SHARE. MARKET.

Geo. l.. Walker, in Boston Conner
 cial, last Saturday, says:
 There has been a better buying de mand for the coppers during the past week or two than there was for long time previously Prices are low enough
 so that strong interests, insiders and professional traders are picking up
 the stocks of the good producers and
 the best of the cheap speculative is-
 sues on all reactions. The general
 weakness of the whole securities
 market is causing a great deal of eau
 tion to be be exercised; but those who
 have the most courage feel that prices are low enough now to warrant the
 taking of chances on the long side, notwithstanding the presence in the
 situation Of almost innumerable bear ish factors. When the stock market is grounding on bottom there are rarely ever anything but unfavorable featur- es to talk about, and prices usually begin to advance long before general conditions become pronouncedly bull fish. Hope, courage and confidence in the future create the buying demand that starts prices up and these are al ways contagious. Others catch the step and become enthusiastic. Rising security prices gradually impart con- fdence to men in all lines of busi- ness.
 For long time past mining stocks in general have been diScredited. Of course there have been more or less reasons for this. These shares have been selling so low as a result that the development of new mines has practi- cally ceased; but the demand for met als continues and in time this will so increase mining profits as to bring about big boom in the shares When consum ption finally exceeds produc- tion in any line of industry tremend ous prosperity is created in that par ticular business and consequently it becomes abnormally active. This is precisely what is ahead of us in cop per. Just for the present, however, everything unfavorable in the situa- ton is being exaggerated.

ON POWER DRILLS |S \
 QUESTION
Opposition to Principal Provision of
 New Mining Code.

] Few changes are included in the re- vised mining code, now pending in the house of representatives. The most important change is to require that all machine drills be equipped with water sprays, to keep down dust. l Indications are that this provision will be eliminated before the code passes the house, but in that case a law is almost certain to be initiated by the miners unions and submitted to the people at a special election.
 This change in the code is one that the union miners are demanding They claim that it is absolutely neces- sary to keep down dust in the mines in order to preserve the health of the underground workers. Fine dust, such as arises from power drills work ing in quartz, renders miners particu- larly susceptible to tuberculosis.
 It is claimed by the mine owners that quartz dust is practically the only kind that is particularly injuri- ouS to health. Lime dust, they say, is not serious matter
 In the present law there is a pro- vision giving the mine inspector pow CT to order sprays installed where complaint is made and he considers them necessary. He has ordered one mine in Mohave county equipped with sprays. He has also had some of the drills of the Copper Queen at Bisbee equipped with sprays. The miners, however, are not satisfied with this arrangement They want all drills made spray drills.
 The principal objection of the com panieS is not the cost, though that would be heavy, but that the use of water in drilling certain kinds of ore reduces the value of that ore They say that when concentrating, ores are drilled with water and not taken out immediately, the water causes them to oxidize. Thus they lose their con- centrating character. On the other hand, it is claimed that the amount of water used is so small that it has no appreciable effect on the ore.

IN THE M I N E S
MINERS MINIMUM WAGE IDEA IS
 NOT DEAD
Representative Lewis Says His Bill Is Not Unconstitutional.
 In His Opinion.

PHOENIX, March 20.-Democratic Legislative candidates in the mining counties will make their 1914 cam paign on a plank promising minin- mum wage law for miners.
 So says Representative J. Tom Lewis of Gila county, author of H. B. 35. Lewis does not agree with Attor- ney General George Purdy Bu1lard that the bill was unconstitutional.
 House bill No. 35 provided that no miner, employed above or below the surface, should be paid less than S4 day. C+ereral Bullard he G that it ;nterferred with the right Of con a; | and was therefore unconstitutional
 MT. Lewis states that he has secur- ed the advice of number of attorneys who have told him that the proposed law would not unduly interfere with contract rights.
 Today Lewis wrote for a copy of the minimum wage law for women which has just passed the lower house of the Utah legislature, That bill seems likely to hecome a lawIf the mil,iMt.'n wage law for women is constitution al in Utah, argues Lewis, there is no reason why such a statute cannot be enacted in Arizona to apply to miners. He does not think that a constitu- tionnl amendment is necessary.
 ''The miners of Arizona want a mini mum wage law. and there is going to be legsla lion aloaS fiat li.le at the next ses :ion.'' said Mr. Lew this morning.

JAMES $. DOUGLAS IS GEN. MANAGER
 AT CANANEA
DIR. RICKETTS, RESIGNS HIS PO- SETON OWING TO PRESS OF
 OTHER BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
pr. Ricketts will Devote Great Deal of His Time to Completion of
 Clifton Plant.

DOUGLAS, March 17.-James
 Douglas, famed throughout south
 western mining circles as the man
 who made the great Pilares mine
 in Sonora, for many years associated
 with the Phelps-Dodge interests, son of Prof. James Douglas, head of the Phelps-Dodge hundred-million min
 ing and railroad interests, will very
 shortly give up his palatial residence in Douglas, Arizona, and move with his charming family to Cananea where MT. Douglas has been made the executive head of the great Can anen Consolidated. Douglas takes the place of Dr. L.. D. Ricketts.
 Dr. Ricketts, one of the gigantic try, has been compelled to relinquish his duties at the Cananea Consoil- dated because of his business connec- tions elsewhere. For the time being he will give his energies almost ex- clusively to experimenting the con- p1etion of the five million dollar smelling plant of the Arizona Cop per company.
 George Kingdom, long connected Globe, first as assistant superintend- ent, and later as superintendent, and one of the heaviest stockholders in the Old Dominion Mercantile con- pany, goes with MT. Douglas to Can anea as underground superintendent of the Cananea properties.
 The announcement of the change which takes Douglas away from the city which bears his name, comes every walk of life. Jimmie" Doug las, as he is affectionately known by everyone here; is as big as he is democratic. Since the inception of the smelter city about ten years ago, Douglas has been interested in all most every phase of it's growth. While man of large fortune, Doug las is still in the prime of life. For few years past he has ostensibly lived away from business. While the emoulments of his new position are understood to be very large, his re- entry into active business is regarded by his friends here as merely a re- sponse to the call of his tremendous energy for congenial occupation.
 MT. Douglas has confirmed the ru- nor that George Kingdom now SUD- erintendent of the Old Dominion mine is going to Cananea with him as gen eral superintendent of the Four Cs company. The announcement that MT. Kingdom is to leave Globe is a cause of regret to the management of the Old Dominion company and to a host of friends there.
 With the exception of six years spent in Northern Sonora, MT. King don has resided in Globe since 1882, during most of the time being em- ployed by the Old Dominion Copper company in various capacities. He has risen to his present position by virtue of ability and close application to his work. His present term of em- ployment with the company covers a period of six years and the develop ment of the Old Dominion property in- to one of the best copper mines in is due largely to his manage ment.
 MT. Kingdom was for five years at Nacozari, Sonora, as general manager of the PilareS mine. It was he who was primarily responsible for the present economical system of mining the great ore bodies at Nacozari.
