Protests STOPPING River Work.

A vigorous protest will be filed by
the Commercial Club of Jefferson City
against the report of United States
Engineer Herbert Deakine, who has
notified all OF the river" towns that
he will recommend to the Board Of
Engineers at Washington a discontin-
uance Of the improvement work on
the Missouri River.
If such a step is necessary, Presi-
dent Houck McHenry of the CONNER
cial Club said a strong declaration
will be sent to Washington to protest
against abandonment of the improve
ment work on the river.
Deakine's unfavorable report on the
Missouri River is based on the ground
that the present and reasonable pros
pective commerce on the river is not
sufficient to warrant the expenditure
necessary for the execution and main
tenance of the Improvement.
This report has stirred up all Of the
river towns and they are up in arms
against it. 1t is expected that all of
them will follow the lead of Kansas
City and Jefferson City in the matter.
The work on the river is regarded
as supremely vital for the protection
of the rich bottom farming lands,
aside from the importance of render
ing the river navigable.

Ask Mre Money for schools.

A mandamus suit was brought In
the supreme court by Attorney DUNN,
for State School Superintendent H. A.
Gass, against State Auditor Gordon to
require him to set apart and certify
to the superintendent Of public
schools one-third of all the moneys
that have come into the state treas
ury for the year ending June 30, 1915.
The question, Mr.. Gass says, has
been discussed for the last eight
years, but no decision has been taken.
Attorney General Barker, in May, held
in an opinion, that the term "ordin-
airy revenue" does not include license
fees and taxes and that they are not
subject to apportionment for use Of
public schools.
In this suit the supreme court is
asked to determine what constitutes
ordinary revenue, whether 1t includes
merely the real and personal taxes
paid in by collectors, or whether it
embraces all moneys paid into the
treasury.
If the supreme court decides in ia
vor of Mr.. Gass, it means $515,503
more for the public schools of state.
In a statement Auditor Gordon says
he requested Supt. Gass to bring the
mandamus action that the question
may be finally determined. Mr.. Cor
don says:
From certain quarters there APP
pears disposition to criticize the
amount of money set aside from the
state revenue for apportionment to
the public schools Of the state.
From this same source comes
criticism that the reduction in the ap-
portionment to the public schools this
year is on account of the great in
crease in clerks and clerks salaries
about the capitol at Jefferson City.
"In 1907-190S the amount paid from
the state treasury toward public
roads was nothing.
"The amount paid in 1913-1914 for
the same purpose was S665, 445.86.
1.-THE amount of money apportioned
to the public schools in 1907-190S was
S2,976,569.07.
For 1913-1914 the amount appor-
toned was 1894 ,519.O1, or a million
dollars more.
THE amount given to the state uni
versity, normal schools, Lincoln Insti-
tute, schools for blind and deaf in
19O7-19OS was $1,S66, 92351. But in
1913-1914 we gave them $2,924, SSO.S7.

Rates on Ore

Permission to publish a schedule oi rates on ores from Clarksdale to Hay den has been granted by the corpora ton commission. Locally the applica- tion of the railroad companies the per mission to publish ore rates betWceI these points is regarded as most sig nificant. Heretofore there have been practically no movements of ore from Jerome -Clarkdale district to Hayden and there have been no rates.
 For ore worth $15 a ton the rate is $3.26; $20, $3.f5; $30, $4.25; $50, $4.90; $75, $5.70; $10O, $690
 It is believed that the United Verde shelter has found itself unable to handle, Vt the Ciarl1dale plant, all tie custom ore offered and that arrange ments have been made to farm out ores to the IfaYden smeItcr. The Fl Paso smcltcr has already been driven to adopt this course because the general revival in the mining industry has vastly increased the offerings of GUS tom ores.

Conner Market Situation

The National Conduit X Cable com pany says The striking feature of the copper situation is the underlying strength of the market notwithstanding the large increase in production since the first of the year. Demand for tine metal from home and abroad has i'm proved so greatly during the last seven or eight months as to necessitate a general resumption of output on the basis of normal operations. But the performance of some producing groups has been noteworthy for the rapid re 'overv in ability to make unusually heavy increases in product lately.
 The problem of finding a market for the enormous supplies has been com p7ratiyely easy. and the steady move meut of copper into consumption is re EHrdeu 1s one of the strong arguments for putting on pressure at the various camps i'm order that output may keep pace with demand. The pronounced tendency for manufacturing industries ta expand made it absolutely necessary to increase operations al the sources of raw supplies. IT was essential that mill owners and manufacturers have plenty of copper to meet their requirements and these needs developed so quickly and in such impressive volume that a strong market Upturn became an in evitable consequence in a phenomiral situation.
 Improving conditions have reassured manufacturers and have greatly in creased confidence. otherwise 70 cent copper would not have been possible Brl if production is to become greatly augmented hv doubling the output of the United States what it was in the curt7ilmeut period after the present Furorea0 War broke ont. and in addi- tiou bringing into this market huge new supplies from Ala ska and Chile there iS re94pn to apprehend that scale of activity anticipated under those conditions can only mean lower prices pr a greater absorption of out put \ further increase in production must he based on probable expansion in demand. or the result will be lower prices.

News From Christmas Camp

The American Smelling and Refin- ing company is to put down churn drill holes all over the 2300-acre es- tate, just acqui red from the Lon don Arizona Copper company. Drill ing operations should be under way by August 1.
 The company may also resume sinking in the main shaft, which is down 300 feet. Another shaft is down 200 feet That either of these will be the main working shaft is unlikely.
 The plan is tO ascertain the exact location and trend of the orebody and put down four compartment shaft in the most favorable location.
 An aerial tram is to be constructei | to transport the London Arizona ores to the Hayden s1nelter. This will be in additin to the tram now being built from Christmas to Hayden
 one electrical transmission line, however, will be made to serve both the London Arizona and Christmas. It will extend through a pass in the hills. straight to the center of the London Arizona. ground, and . branch will be run from there to Christmas.

Ray ConsoIidated


 It is stated by reliable parties well informed on the operations of RaN Consolidated that the company should shcW earnings of approximately a million dollars for the quarter ended June 90. 1915 If this is so the com pany will show an increase in earn ings of about g per cent over that of the previous quarter, ending March. 3l. 1915.
 The statement of the company for the first quarter of the current year showed earnings uf $7S2119. After deducting $4O.OOO for bond interest there was available for the stock s741. .539 This was equivalent to earnings of about 51 cents per share on the 1.454000 outstanding shares Of stock, or at the rate of $2 per year.
 The improvement for the present quarter is due to the higher price for copper which has obtained during the last three months. In the first quarter of the present year Ray averaged only 14.324 cents per pound for it's product While no estimates as to the approximate price Ray re- ceived for it's metal are obtainablc, it would seem. from the statements made by the first authority. that the company must have received between 15.5 and 165 cents per pound. Prob ably the lower figure will be nearer the correct one. for our estimates are based on an average production the same as that of the first three months of the year. As a matter of fact production for the second quar- ter should be much larger. for the company was in the process of get ting back to normal capacity during the first part of the year and pro- duction for none of the first three months was anywhere near the figures for April. With an increased capacity and costs assumed at about the same figure, a rough approxima ton of 23 per cent increase in pro- fits would be rather on the side of the smaller figure if any.
 Naturally in these days of 20-cent copper the question is asked as to why Ray could not make a more favorable showing in the price re- ceived for it's product? The answer probably lies in the fact that Ray has sold it's output for 90 days ahead whiro this may prove to be a wise provision in view of the weakening in the price of the metal the last few days. it probably does not please stockholders so well to note that dur ing the height of the big prices for copper Ray had a number of con tracts on it's hands for delivery at far below the market price. How ever it works out approximately the same in the end, for if the price of copper should go off for example. Ray would he producing the next three months at prices nearer the high levels of May and June. Earn ings per share for the second quar- ter based on these statements should bc about 69 cents. or at the rate of $2.75 per year.

Copper Basin

One hundred and fifty tons of orc is now being shipped from Copper Basin claims owned by the Copper queen company. The ore is freighted to Skull valley and then shipped to Douglas for treatment. The sub stantial price of copper has made it possible to take advantage of larger shi 3Inents. The district is more ac- tive than ever before in it's history.

 Word was left for me that rich find of teIlurium orc has been dis covered eighteen miles east of King man. on the Enterprise group of claims had seen some notice of the find in the Kingman papers ani only hope the discovery comes up to expectations. A good many reports of the discovery of tellurium ores have been made all over Arizona. but there is not a single instance abso- lute proof of their discovery. There are several stains and colerations that suggest telurium but all of them have failed in the actual test However we hope the find in tho WallapaiS IS the exception.

 The recent quarterly dividend paid was but soc, due to conversatism on the part of the directors who had in mind the financing of Calumet & Ari- zona's proportion of the New Corneia l2-year convertible per cent bonds which are about to he issued. As the Calumet X Arizona owns about so per cent of the New Corneia stock. it's share of the $i.000.000 in bonds will
 amount to over $3.00o.00o In the opinion of many large eastern owners of Calumet & Arizona shares. who include interests connected with the United states Steel and other great corporations. the financing of New Fornelia should be undertaken by Calumet & Arizona stockholders, not by the company alone.

 the country. Exports of unWrought copper show a heavy falling off this
 year. and for the six months Of 1915

 brass in manufactured or semi-manu- factured form, however, shove a large increase.
 The heavy buying in June served to fill many requirements and the trading movement so far this month has not developed momentum to attract extra ordinary attention. An influx of new orders may start any day. and in any event heavy buying will occur during the next few weeks. The war demand for copper is expected to absorb sub
 stantial quantities of the metal dur ing the last half ofehe year. and it is possible that the tide of foreign and domestic requirements may set in par
 ticuIarly strong in spite of high prices and increased output.
