Cheerful.

Copper metal quotations are I'M
changed from a week ago. Lake is
II 5-S cents, electrolytic II IL cents
and casting II IA cents. There ap-
pears to be little better demand
from domestic consumers.
This would seem to indicate that
manufacturers using copper as a raw
material already are feeling the eff
feet of the war through a demand
for manufacturers from foreign coun-
tries which formerly were supplied
by those countries now at war.
That this development is likely to
expand as the war continues is a
reasonable assumption as the coun-
tries at war cannot possibly take
care of their former customers.
American manufacturers are in a
position to fill the requirements of
the foreign trade without mourning
additional expense. They have suf-
ficient manufacturing capacity and
an abundant supply of raw material
at low prices. In short, the outlook
for the copper manufacturing bust
ness never was more propitious than
at present.
The National Conduit & Cable COM
pany's August circular says: There
are no indications, however, that
home consumption has been checked
on account of the war in Europe.
On the contrary, domestic brass and
copper mills appear to be doing more
rather than less since the outbreak
of hostilities abroad.
with raw copper at very reason
able market level there should be a
determined movement to stimulate a
greater domestic demand for the
products of OlIr manrfa cfIIrin o.
plants. The sources of copper pro-
duction are here in extraordinary
supply, and American manufacturing
capacity is also of the highest stand
ard of efficiency
The double industries of copper
production and manufacture should
therefore thrive on this soil better
than anywhere else on the globe.
With productive and manufacturing
power so obviously superior in this
country the possibilities for expand
ing business are based on almost
ideal conditions so far as the factors
alluded to are concerned.

cultivated, and all in this respect is
in complete readiness for the elector-

the primaries of Tuesday, September

.MoRENcps INDUSTRIAL
SITUATION IMPROVES
placing Thursday of Idle Men Upon
Construction of Long Projected
Street Markedly Relieves Situation
ID. C. M. Company Maintains Level
of Copper Production

The Industrial situation in Morenc1
has this week been markedly allev1at-
ed, as on Thursday morning the coun-
ty supervisors, through Superintend-
emit of Roads, S. F. Await, began con-
struction upon the long projected
street leading through the central por-
ton of the town the beginning OF con-
struction meaning the immediate en-
ployment Of many of the men VINO
through the present copper depression
have been unemployed.
The origintl intention of the super
visors was that the street construc-
ton would begin not before Septem-
Der 10, but called session was made
this week, Wednesday, that the State
Tax Commission might be In CONFER
ence with the supervisors, who took
advantage of this extra session to take
quick action upon the new street.
The need of numbers of men of en-
ployment was imperative, and the SUI
pervisors acted accordingly. The con-
strucution, according to state law, Is
under the direction of Road Superan-
bendent Await, who has appointed as
his deputy for this work Bert Scott,
who formerly was employed as time
keeper at the A. c. company's NO. 3

lions to Scott, who is empowered to

than by contract. The wages paid

Americans, and Mexicans who are
married, and have lived for greater
number of years in the district. At
the close of work Thursday afternoon,
the first day of the construction, only
Americans had been employed, al
though statements are made that I'M
mediately after all Americans wanting
work have been employed, Mexicans
will be placed at work. American
citizenship, according to state law. is
made compulsory in the securing OF
employment. However, this may be
easily obtained as workers are accept
ed IL they have made application for
Naturalization papers.
The road administration states de-
finitely that after the work is syste-
matically launched, which will be with
in a few days, no American citizen
who wishes employment upon the new
street will be disappointed. and that
should the number of men who apply
for work become so large that places
for the mupon street construction are
not available, then Immediately the
county's engineer will be authorized to
stake portions of the projected Mo
renci-Clifton new highway which will
be constructed, in these parts, by men
hired by the road superintendent, this
giving work to all.

ton under suuch conditions is vel

At the close, on the afternoon of
Friday, August IS, of the registration
books of the Morenci precinct, num-
Der of Morenci's inhabitants register
ed for participation in the primary
elections of September s was eight
hundred and sixty-eight, which is by
far the largest compilation of voters
ever to the precincts credit.
While the entrance of women into
political life is to a great extent re-
sponsible for this total, yet the list
has been swelled by a more than
usual interest among the male voters,
and also because of increased popu-
Ilation OF the nearly nine hundred
registered electors, about two hundred
and fifty are ladies'. Less than one
hundred of the total are Mexicans.
The general supposition is that not
more than six hundred votes will be
cast next Tuesday, for added to the
possibly one hundred voters who have
left the town because of the present in
dustrial depression, are of course the
usual number who will not enter the
elections. The many candidates,
both local and county, are guessing
as to just how many of the registered
ladies will cast democratic ballot,
while also the comparative strength
of the democratic and republican par
ties is causing interest.
Reports are heard to the effect that
challenging will be in effect at the
polls Tuesday, complaints having been
made that not all of the registered per-
sons are able to endure the education
al tests prescribed by law, and also
that the citizenship of all is not clear
ly known.
The only members of the election
board for next Tuesday at present
known are Rev. Allan Kriohbaum and
VIM. ]. Donahue, as w. H. Moon,
and Mesdames Hart and Dutton, the
three of whom were appointed to
serve, have announced that they will
not serve. Rev. Krichbaum and Mr..
'Donahue will before the end of the
week select clerks for their assist
ance.

preston, which while not SO noticeable
in Morenci as in the other mining
towns of the state, still had come to
affecting stages.
The Copper Situation.
Announcement is made this week
that the D. C. M. company is still
maintaining the level of copper pro-
duction which was followed immedia-
tely upon the outbreak of war in
Europe. The present production is
approximately six hundred and fifty
tons per month, in comparison with
the Company's normal production of
one thousand tons. About two hun
dred and fifty tons of copper are be-
ing monthly shipped to market, while
the remaining four hundred tons are
stored at the smelter yards. 1855
The total number of men discharg-
ed from the Company's payrolls be
cause of the copper depression is one
hundred and seventy nine. The
normal number of men upon the COM
pany's rolls is about fifteen hundred.
The discharged workmen were mainly
employed at the various development
operations of the Company, and this
work, with the exception of that at
the Antietam properties, is now stop
ped. The churn drills, four, of the
company are still being operated, in
the Observation-Disclosures claims near
Morenci.
The Company is still following its
policy of working its mines only five
days of the week. No men have
been discharged from the mines: The
Company throughout the depression
has been adherring to the policy as
far as practicable, of keeping all it's
men employed at reduced wages,
this being ten per cent, and in cases
reduced number of working hours,
rather than discharging from each
department a certain proportion of
the men. 5

ARIZONA NOT ALONE.

HOUGHTON, Mich At the time
of the commencement of the Euro
pean war the pay rolls of the mines
of this district numbered over II 900
men and everything pointed to a sea-
son of unexampled prosperity for
the copper industry. Since that time
a total of 2161 men have been laid
off and 1892 men now are working
half time, owing to the fact that
there is such a narrow market for
copper.
Owing to the high grade of copper
produced, it was expected that these
properties would continue full oper-
atoms, If others closed down.

What Name-The New Driveway?
OF interest to the Morenci people
now is what shall the new driveway
be called, for the new street will be
the first and only carriage way to
the credit of the town, thereby arous-
ing widespread interest, and making
it's meaning in the future of the
community of such Importance that
thought is we'll spent in suggesting a
title Various names have been sug-
'gested, but none have met approval,
as a street for Morenci is so novel
that its accepted name must unite
both character and beauty, thus trying
the nominating art of the townspeo-
pie.
