A. R. BUCHANAN SAYS SALOONS ARE
 DEAD
But Thinks Personal Use Will Be
 Continued if Conditions Improve.

A. R. Bucknam, who has just re- signed his position as field secre- tary for the Cochise County Dry Federation to leave on July 8 for Hutchinson, Kan, to take charge of the campaign there for the election of a prohibition candidate to con- gress, was in Douglas this week and gave out the following interview:
 q would prefer to stay in Arizona and take part in what I consider will be very interesting campaign and the results of which will mean much to Arizona.
 There will be twelve others asso- ciated with me as workers in the campaign to elect prohibition con gressman in Kansas, and that will furnish activity enough for the aver age person.
 q tried to get out of the job but i the national committee and the state 1 committee of Kansas insisted and l gave in against my will, for I do love Arizona and her people and I owe them much consideration for their kindness and assistance in mak- ing my work here success.
 Do you think the saloon will ever return to Arizona?
 Most emphatically, no.
 q am always in sympathy with the bootlegger because he is an outlaw and everybody seems to have it in for him and the government is after him all the time. But have no sym pathy for the saloonkeeper of a well regulated saloon because he is al ways after the government and every one else to put them under bondage to him and the better he is regulated the deeper he must get into politics to regulate the regulator.
 < am satisfied that Arizona vii never allow herself 70 be ruled by the saloon power of this state and nation
 What will be the outcome of the personal use idea?
 Tt will be maintained in the stat by the vote of the people providing conditions improve from now till No vember. If bootlegging and drunken ness get worse the people will vote for the new prohibition amendmen with good prospects of success.
 '1t is up to those who want the personal use privilege maintained tc get busy and make conditions SC much better under personal use thai it has been under prohibition that the voters will notice the difference and sustain it.
 Tt Is up to the personal use ad vocates to make good and they have a splendid opportunity before them.

THE COPPER MARKET.

Copper is a trifle more active and the tone of the market is firmer. Lake and electrolytic are 26 3-4 to 27 1-2 cents for small lots in the out side market. So far as is known the larger puro '.aSe-s have not reduced their asking prices, and as they have practically 10 copper to sell for de- livery earlier than October or Novem- Der there is no occasion for them to do so. The brokers who have been offering second hand lots are now finding buyers, and there is a slight tendency for prices to advance. The London market also is firmer.
 The export movement is very heavy and it is now certain that more cop per will leave our ports in June than i in any previous month but once since the outbreak of the European war. During the first 2S days of June 31,S79 long tons of copper | (71, ,40S, ,960 pounds) was exported, ac- cording to custom house returns which compares with 16,062 tons | (35,978,SS0 pounds) in May and a previous high record for this year of s26,321 tons in March. Last December 2,426 tons was exported, but in nc other month has as much as 31,00C tons gone out since July, 1914. There is every prospect that another buying movement will develop soon and al this writing it seems probable that consumers will be obliged to pay somewhere between 26 1-2 and 29 cents a pound when they re-enter the market.
 As suggested by the discussion O. production, consumption and exports of this country and the world, whicf appeared under this heading in las weeks letter, careful study of al the available statistical data unavoid ably leads me to the conclusion tha had there been no European wal copper would have been selling b. now at 20 or 25 cents a pound. Thi conclusion is forced upon one who il analysing the statistics when he find staring him in the face the fact tha the copper producers of the world ap parently have lost a greater marke through being denied the privilege o sending shipments of the metal t' Germany and Austria-Hungary thai they have gained through the muni tions demands of the allied nations o Europe.

 Everyone of the young ladies who are out for that piano want it, and they are trying in every honorable way to come into possession of it. It is simply question of which one you like best. Of course you like them all, and Clifton and vicinity have nothing nicer than these contes- tants, and what is nicer for young lady and her circle of friends, than a nice piano and such one for instance as The Copper Era is to give to the lady that the people of Clifton and vicinity like the best.
 Bear in mind that the ballot box is closed for the second count at 12 o'clock noon on July 18th. Be sure and have your votes all in by that time so that you will have a fair chance to show what your standing for.
 Remember the $1o in gold goes to the one who makes the greatest gain in n3nber Of votes and $5 to the one making the next greatest gam.
 Others were nominated, but as yet have received no votes. These young ladies should by no means be con sidered out of the running, as all have been doing some work and they vii make the contest interesting for those who already have a good start.
