The copper era and Morenci leader., 1915-09-24

During the closing days of August
 and the first week of September,
 American producers sold between
 50,000,OOO and 6O,OOOpOO pounds of
 copper, at prices ranging from 16 IA
 to IS cents. As nearly as can be
 ascertained, all but two or three of
 the producers made some sales, and | it is believed that more than 25 per
 cent of the total amount sold was for
 December, January and February
 delivery.
 | It is repeatedly stated that con- sumers are well bought ahead and therefore not worried concerning the metal market It should be under stood that the well bought condition of the consumers represents well sold condition of the producers A great many the latter have sid one third to one-half the total amount of copper they will be able to deliver up to the end of this year and several of of them have sold more or less for 1916 delivery. This makes it plain, therefore, that the producers have lit tie cause for worry. It should be realized that when producers are once well sold and consumers well bought the market necessarily must relapse for time into dullness
 A considerable portion of the cop per now being delivered was sold last June at prices approximately two cents pound above the present mar ket. The leading producers are watching the situation very closely, and as they see the consumers oper ating their plants at full capacity they realize that they could not hope to increase the volume of purchases by offering down prices. There is, in as few of them, if any are carrying more Ahan very moderate stocks of ready -to-deliver copper unsold.
 Regarding the frequent reference that is made to "the present enor- nous production of copper" it may be said that there is nothing in the statistics that shows any relations whatever between the volume of pro- duction and the selling price of the metal Copper has frequently de- clined and sold at very low prices in years when the increase of produc- tion was abnormally small and it has advanced consistently and sold at very high prices when an immense growth of production was under way

GOOD ROADS PLANS FOR GRA-
 HAM COUNTY.

Globe, Ariz, Sept. 20. - Estimates on the proposed new roads for Gra- ham county have been completed and are now in the hands of the board of supervisors, according to Assistant State Engineer F. G. TwitcheIl, who has returned from the valley, where he had been called to give expert in. formation before the bond issue was placed before the people to be voted upon in the near future.
 A main highway through the valley connecting with the San Carlos road at one end and the Fl Paso route at the other, and the building of bridge across the Gila river at Solomonville are the first considerations, and to that end the board of supervisors are now working.
 Much care and painstaking esti- mates are the order of things in tne sister county and when the issue goes before the people for a vote every de- tail as to route and approximate cost of same will be known.
 It is stated upon good authority that the bond issue of $2OO,OOO which is proposed will carry by a big ma jarity. The. people, it is said. are thor oughly aroused and very enthusiastic about the movement on good roads, which has become general wherever the enhancement of real estate and public enterprise is concerned.

SHIPMENT TO THE GRAHAM MOUNTAINS DELAYED BY
 QUARANTINE.

That Arizona, especially the Chevelon district in the Sitgreaves National forest, is proving an ideal habitat for the herd of elk import ed a few years ago as indicated in the recent report of Forest Super visor Charles H. Jennings of Snow flake to the district forester at AL .buquerque. Forty-nine elk and 19 calves, the report states have been seen this year on the Sitgreaves forest and IS calves on the Cocon- inc National forest, and all appear to be in good condition
 About 50 of the original herd of IS are still alive and seem to be flourishing, according to Forest Ran ger Hughes, who is stationed on the south portion of the CheveIon dis trict, and who has had opportunity to observe the elk since they were brought to Arizone from the Yel- lowstone park and taken south from Winslow. The elk he reports are fat, not very wild, and appear to be well-located Last year AT grown animals were seen, together with seven calves; this year the

PLAN BETTER RURAL SERVICE. LESS
 MONEY
Introduction of Automobile and Re vision of Routes Makes Big Postal
 Savings This Years.

Postmaster General BurEeson will
 ask congress next December for an appropriation of about $49,000,00 to
 provide rural delivery during the fiscal year beginnig Suly 1, 1916. The appropriation for the current year i (continued by resolution from last year) is $53,OOO,oOO.
 Of the s49,OOO,OOO It, is estimate,
 that s4s,OO0,OO0 will operate all the rural routes now authorized. The ad- ditional s1,OOO,0OO will pay for new service to be established before or during the twelve months to be GOV cred by the appropriation.
 This reduced appropriation will give service to all patrons who had rural delivery at the outset of the present postal administration, will de- fray the expense of operating the 5000 new routes or extensions of old routes established by MT. Burleson, and will meet the increase of pay averaging $100 year granted last year by congress to certain of the rural carriers
 In March, 1913, there were pending in the postoffice department approxi- mately 320O petitions for the estab- lishment or extension of rural mail facilities. Many of these had moul- dered in postal files for years. Since March, 1913, the department has re- ceived about 5000 additional petitions. Now, except few presented within the last ninety days, not a single pc tition is pending before the depart ment. Those of recent origin rae in the hands of inspectors in the field for report on their merits.
 New service thus far established takes the U. S. postal system within convenient reach of fully two million additional patrons. Service yet to be established will reach at least 750,O00 more. =.
 The appropriation for rural delivery for the fiscal year 1913 was SAT 7,0OO, ,000. The postmaster general now proposes to provide a modernized and a much larger service during the fiscal year 1917 for just $2,0OO,000 more than the cost of the old service four years be- fore. He proposes to do this notwith- standing the following additional charges in the meantime placed against rural delivery.
 Increased pay for carriers. .$4, ,35O, ,O0O New service granted ...... 100000 New service to be granted . 100000
 This is possible CD because of more efficient operation secured by revision of routes which eliminate Implications of travel and unnecessary ''retraces'' by rural carriers and (2) because of the economies resulting from the .in- troduction of the automobile in this , field of postal transportation.

preceding. A far greater tonnage Of copper is now being bought and made up by American manufacturers than ever before in the country's history, and the volume will be materially in- creased as soon as several new factor ies, now in process of construction, are completed.
 When it is taken into consideration that sufficient time has not elapsed since the outbreak of the European war for the copper export movement to adjust itself to the changed con- ditions or for new manufacturing ca pacity to be established to put into shapes the amount of copper formerly purchased in manufactured form, by the outside world from Germany and Austria, it becomes clearly apparent that the copper producing business has stood up remarkably well since | it's large foreign customers were de- nied access to the markets It can not fail to lead one to the conclusion that the world, outside of Germany and Austria-Hungary, will soon be in a position to purchase, manufacture and use all the copper the mines are able to supply

TWO PRIMARIES MUST RE
HELD IN MONTANA.

Montana must hold and bear the
expense of two primary nominating
conventions next year. according to
ruling by Attorney General J. &,
Poindexter. The reason two such
elections must be held is because
the voters put on the statute books
nominating election for thu state
and county officers, United States
senator's and members OF congress
must be held on the 10th day pre-
ceding the general election. and
another providing that the primary
nominating election for candidates
for president. vice president, dele
gates to the presidential convention
and Of presidential electors must be
held on the 45th day before the first
Monday of June.
Secretary of State A. M. Anderson
raised the question and asked for a
ruling. The attorney general says:
"Inasmuch as the primary law re-
lating to state and county Ulcers
fixes the date of that election, and
the presidential primary did not. Or
could not, amend that law, it neces
sarily follows that the date fixed
in the first of these primary laws for
the nomination of state and county
officers must govern as to these Off
GERS, and that the time for holding
the primary nominating elections
named in the presidential primary
law, has reference only to candidates
for the offices named in that act. It
may also be observed that by the
provisions of Section %, Article V.
of the State Constitution, tthe sub
ject of all bills shall be clearly ex-
pressed in the title, and if any sub
ject shall be embraced in any act
not embraced in the title, the act as
to such subject shall be void. The
title to the presidential primary law
does not make any reference, direct
ly or indirectly. except to candidates
for president, vice president, dele
gates to presidential conventions
and presidential electors.
Not Broad Enough.
"There is nothing in this title
that would apprise any voter of the
fact that he was voting for meas
ure wifi ch would in any manner am
end or change the provisions of the
law relating to candidates for state
and county officers. Measured by
this provision, the title to this bill
is not broad enough to sustain the
act, as an amendment, changing the
date of the election named in the
other initiatory measure.

$4,000 FIRE AT HARLEM.

The Harlem Meat Market, of
which ]. G. Arbogast is the proprie-
tor, was completely Quilted by fire
shortly after O'Clock Thursday
morning. 1t was located in the cen
ter of the business district and that
the whole block of wooden build
lngs between the First National
bank and the Blaine County State
bank was not wiped out is due to
the splendid work on the part of
the volunteer firemen.
The fire broke out at a time when
the streets were deserted. The night
Waterman goes off duty at midnight
so there was no one around. Will
lam Smith, the engineer of the cleo
trio light plant, was the first one to
notice the fire and he gave an alarm
by blowing the whistle. This awoke
several people and shortly after
wards the fire bell was rung. It was
only a short time before the hose
carts were on the scene, but the
whole interior of the building was
ablaze at that time, so it was i'm
possible to save any of the contents.
Four streams of water were play
ed on the fire and it was only by

fire did not spread to Churchill's
saloon adjoining. The roof of this
building was on fire several times
from the terrific heat, but stream
of water was kept playing on it all
the while, SO but little damage re-
suited. For while it looked as II
the saloon was doomed, so the
front door was broken in and part
of the fixtures carried out.
It was fortunate that there was
no wind blowing at the time, but
brands of fire were carried west
ward by the light breeze and drop
ped around Ostle & Magner's livery
barn in a threatening manner.
Several small fires were put out
that started in the hay around the
place.
The cause of fire is not definitely
known, though Mr.. Arbogast stated
tnat he thought it might have been
caused by a defective chimney. The
fire started in the workshop in the
rear. Mr.. Arbogast was in the
building until 10:30 that evening,
and the man who works bout the
place was there for a time, smok-
ing some hams. Mr.. Arbogast had
neglected to put his books in the
safe when he went home, SO all his
records were destroyed also.-News.

BILLION WHEAT CROP ASSURED

In the opinion of j. NJ. Gruber,
vice president of the Great North
ern railway, a blind man could al
most see prosperity in Montana.
Mr.. Gruber passed through Havre
recently, en- route west on an official
trip of inspection. His trip at this
time will extend to San Francisco,
as he wishes to test the service fur
nished by the Great Northern boat
line from Portland south.

in my visit at this time" said the
railroad official. 1--WE make these
inspection trips at regular intervals.
I find that the bulk of the country
traversed by the Great Northern is
in good shape.

injured by continued wet weather,
resulting in a rust, but that is not

to be the portion of this country,
