20 CENT COPPER
BOOST To TRADE
Copper Mines in Southwest
Are ALI Booming and
Buy FL Paso Goods.

Twenty cent copper, which means
more to the southwest than dollar
wheat to the central states, was, res
istered on the metal exchange Thurs
day. This is the first time in eight
years that the red metal has touched
the 20 cent mark. The last time was
early in 1907 and the latter part OF
1906. The highest price ever touched
was 25.065 cents per pound, in March,
1907.
Business men here express the opin-
ion that this rise in copper means
more to the southwest than any other
item. II is recalled that, back in the
boom days Of 1906 n 1907 OF b
copper industry, every pound OF alfalfa
in the FL PasO valley was sold to Arl-
up mines. and a steady stream Of ash
flowed into FL Paso in the purchase
Of other supplies.
Low Grade Mines Reopen.
Arizona mines that cannot operate
when copper is selling at u cents, but
can make a small profit with Is cent
copper, will be running full blast now
that the metal is up 20 20 cents. OF
the large producers there is not one

production in the mex six months and

TE TAsHNGTON, D. C.. June IL

~ WASHINGTON, D. c., Tune IL
M A cordial request to Germany
for assurances that American
lives and ships win nenceforth be
protected is embodied in the new note
TO Germany. which is now made pub
nc though II had been limited the
note would be emphatic and abrupt, Of
Dclals found 1t to be much more mild
than had been anticipated Perusal OF
the note caused government officers to
express surprlse that W. j. BRYAN
should have Ound il necessary to re-
J the secretaryship OF state rather
Ihan sign the document. They asserted
II seemed TO embOdy the very princi-
pies for which Mr. Bryan is now con-
tending.
one feature of the note is a firm de-
NAL of the German contention that the
Lusitauia was armed and was, IN fact,
a British auxiliary cruiser. The Amer
lean government cites the fact that
United States officials fully examined
the liner before sailing, n asks Ger
many, in case the imperial government
has definite information to the effect
that the ARerican governments search
lacked thoroughness, to submit such
evidence to the United States.
The argument OF the United States
regarding the Lusitania is based pri-
marily upon the question Of humanity.
The United States argues the inhuman-
1ty OF causing the death Of hundreds Of
innocent men, women and children by
-torpedOing the Lusitania without a
Festige Of warning.
