ESPEE ORDERS
MOTIVE POWER

Anticipating the heavy demand that
the national crisis will make upon the
resources of the railroads, the Southern
Pacific company has placed an order
for eleven additional locomotives for
delivery this year in time to assist in
the heavy crop movement.
The new engines will be the largest
locomotives on the system, only ex-
mallets which are really a combination
of two engines.
Designed particularly for increased
hauling capacity at high speed, the
new locomotives will enable the South
ern Pacific to expedite freight service
and better handle passenger trains on
grade.
The necessity for meeting the ma
tional crisis, has compelled the rail-
roads to purchase their material in the
highest market the country has ever
known.
For example, the locomotives just or
dered will cost the Southern Pacific
company $4,000 each, an increase in
cost over 1913 of fifty per cent. SINH
larly, now freight cars which the rail-
road are hurrying to completion cost
one hundred per cent more than they
did a few years ago. Every item which
is included in the task of equipping the
railroad to face the greatest activity
they have ever known will represent
the crest in the High Cost of Living
wave. Being the heaviest purchasers
in the country, the railroads will suffer
more than the individual from the un-
.precedented high prices The differ
ence is that the individual merchant
may increase the price Of his products
accordingly, the railroads are held to
an income that is not increasing.

country most powerful in steel will
prove the one most powerful in war,
and to steel must be added copper
under modern practices of attack and
defense.
Our government will be calling for
greater quantities of copper as soon
as its great task of providing ships,
guns, ammunition, etc., gets fairly
under way. Modern battleships con-
sumo immense quantities of copper, as
do smaller craft, submarines, skim
mers and the like, electricity playing
an important part in the construc-
tion of all of them. Automobiles, of
which there will have to be many more,
particularly in the form of trucks, will
need much copper. You may not know
about it, but there are more than 400
pounds of copper in every box car
built, this being in the form of bronze
in bearings. 1t enters into thousand
things more of which are being con-
structed than ever before, so that we
see no reason why there should not
be a greater copper output in the pres
ent year than in the last, up to that
time altogether the greatest in the his
tory of the industry.

DON'T BE A SHEEP

For two or three months the public
has been selling more securities than
it has been buying, says the Jerome
News. There has been no panic, not
even general selling movement, but
the unthinking masses have been un-
loading their stocks steadily. Those Sc
curities have been just as steadily alb
sorbed by those who are not swayed by
the timidity of the masses.
Had everyone followed the crowd,
like sheep, this country would have ex-
perienced one of the worst panics in
history, in spite of the nations un-
precedented prosperity. But there are
men with enough vision to see that the
crowd had no reason for unloading, and
to buy at bargain prices the stocks
thrown on the market.
Now the public appears to be on the
point of getting back into the market.
The public is bullish instead of bear
ish, and within the next few weeks will
begin to buy at higher prices than ever
the securities that were unloaded.
The buying power Of this country is
tremendous. Once the public begins to
buy again, the buying will be on big
ger scale than ever.
Copper stocks should be prime favor
ties in the coming bull market The

RUIZ is HELD
FOLLOWING DAY
OF ROBBER|ES

Sunday was day of wholesale rob-
berry in Ray. Donald Gordon of Her
cules Hill was the first to report his
loss, when after the ball game he went
to his room to find it completely
stripped of clothes and jeWelry valued
at 1925.
Harry Scanlon, first baseman on the
Mines team, was the next to report
that while he was upholding the name
of Ray in the Tri Copper League some
sneak thief had taken several small
pieces of jewelry from his room at the
Mu!Igan.
Charles Tonneman, Miners back
stopper, followed closely on the heels
of Scanlon with a loss of $1,000 worth
of jewelry at the Mulligan.
About the time the officers had this
report made out Tom Lawrence re-
ported that his room at the Mulligan
had been robbed of $1,000 worth of
jewelry. The officers got this on the
record and started for the door when in
came o. M. link of AZ Hercules Hill.
He had lost a 20 Marlin Winchester
rifle and $500 in money By this time
it was dark and the officers all started
to ferret out the thief.
Result: Two hours later Alexander
Ruiz was arrested in a room at the
Mulligan. All the loot was recovered.
Monday Judge E. w French bound
him over to the superior court and he
was lodged in Jail at Florence.

OF COURSE IT
ISN'T TRUE, BUT
ITS NOT UNLIKELY

Two Mexican drivers were racing
their machines on Tuesday last and,
on reaching the town, instead of slow
ing down, on the contrary, they speed
ed up to show off before the town peo-
pie as usual. On turning Miller's cor
ner one machine got beyond it's drivers
CONTROL burst through the plate glass
front Of the postoffice, broke down the
partitions and passed out through the
rear wall. Not stopping here it tore
up Hercules hill and ended it's mad
career by plunging down the Hercules
shaft, where it killed a man who was
repairing the shaft at the third level
The driver walked back to Sonora,
where, we understand, he is raising a
loan to buy another fliver.
We understand that the contractors
have promised to have the postoffice
repaired and restored in about three
weeks. That dastardly automobile
driver has not yet been arrested.
OF course this is all an 'orrid lie but
the way the automobiles are allowed
to travel on the main street of Ray is
an outrage. But land sakes! what's
the use of kicking, the burned autos
go so fast the officers can't see 'em
and the private citizens have no rights
anyway, so there you are.-Contrib-
uted.

HARMLESS TRUNK
LANDS GALLOVICH
IN DURANGO VILE

To the rank outsider it looked like
express office Monday morning.
To Scott White, chief deputy and
solver Of riddles, it looked like another
mystery. The tag bore the name of
Mrs. Mike Gallovich of American town
site and showed that Mr.. Mike himself
had shipped said trunk from Ration,
New Mexico.
Scott waited patiently and was final
ly rewarded when an express wagon
showed up to get the trunk. 1t was
loaded in the wagon and the officer
followed in an auto as the driver start
ed to the Gallovich home.
There White asked for the key. Mrs.
Gallovich told him it was her husband s
trunk, that he had shipped it from
Ration, and that he had the key. The
officer took trunk and Mrs. Gallovich
to the court house, wher a key was
procured and the trunk opened
Wrapped in a quilt was n-gallon
keg of gin.
Mrs. Gallovich was held until the
arrival of the noon train, when Mike
himself arrived and took her place in
durance vile. Judge E. w. French
bound him over to the superior court
and he was sent to Florence, there to
await trial for introducing intoxicants
into Arizona.

government has already appropriated
something like $5O0,OO0,OOO for NUM-
tions and equipment. This is sure to
stimulate the manufacture of shells
and other equipment into which cop
per enters.
1t is true that 20 leading copper
producers are to furnish the govern
ment nearly 5O,OOO,OOO pounds of metal
at 16 2-3 cents. But that is copper that
would not have been called for at all
but for the war. 1t removes just that
much from the supply available for do
mestic uses and for sale to the allies
The prediction of 50-cent copper before
the end of the war seems in a fair way
of coming true.
All of which means that this is a
mighty good time to buy stock in
producing copper mines and in mines
that are likely to be producers soon.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 4.-The Mesa
Rifle Club has forwarded to the mill
tary department of the state, through
Secretary w. r. Stewart, the offer to
provide sufficient men from the or
ganization to guard both the Roose-
welt and Granite Reef dams, so that the
company of the First Arizona, now sta
toned at these two places on duty, can
be released from this service and join
the regiment at Naco at the earliest
possible date. This is the first offer on
the part of the citizen organizations
throughout for definite active service,
the effect of which will be to relieve
the national guard company from de-
tached service. The company of the
Arizona regiment now stationed on
this duty is the Mesa company, COM
manded by Capt. JOS E. Noble.

WAR WILL MEAN
HIGH PRICES
FOR RED METAL
Every Three-Inch Shell Throws Three
Pounds of Copper Away

(By Geo. A. Newett, Editor Iron Ore)
There are many people who are
speculating on the future of the cop
per mining and smelling industry,
and no portion of the United States
is more concerned than Arizona,
ranking first in production of this
metal. Last year Arizona produced
more copper than Montana and Michi-
gan combined with enough more than
these states contributed to fill the
present specifications Of the govern
ment for 45,000,00O pounds by four
times. The total amounted to more
than % per cent Of the entire copper
yield of the United States, and was
a gain over the output for 1915 Of
249,O89,147 pounds, the total for the
year being 693,262,111 pounds.
The United States produces about
five -eighths of the copper of the
world, mining and marketing for 1915
the enormous poundage of 1,941, $780,.
586. The gain in the output of copper
has been very large for the last years
and much of this addition can be at
tributed to the needs Of the warning
countries, the metal being war mate
rial in the most vital sense. Every
time a three-inch shrapnel shell ex-
plodes three pounds Of copper goes
with it, and this, following the ex-
plosion, is unscrapable. When one
stops to consider that shrapnel is the
popular artillery load and is con-
stantly being employed along hun
dreds of miles of battle fronts, he
can probably get a faint idea of the
enormous quantities Of copper that
are being wasted in the war alone,
and in this particular form. The shells
Of nearly all kinds must be banded
with copper to save the rifling of the
gun and at the same time it must be
tough enough to not be stripped un-
der the tremendous energy of the
powder charge. There is no substi-
tute that can be employed that is at
all practical
The fact that for ten years prior
to her war initiation Germany has
been buying and stocking copper for
war emergencies, accounts for her
supply up to this time. It is well
known that she was steadily accumu-
lating a surplus over the period stated
and was well prepared in this feature
when she instituted war. Always the
heaviest consumer of the metal, Ger
many is now reduced to very small
stocks which she is conserving in
every way possible. She is producing
little copper but her vast stocks
must be now about depleted.
No Surplus in U. S.
It is also true that there are no
surpluses of the metal in the United
States and ingots are still being sent
hot from all the smelteries and refin-
cries of this country. With the en-
trance into war by the United States
there undoubtedly will still be fur
ther increase in copper output pro-
viding the building up of the army and
navy does not interfere with the min
ing and smelling, and in this connec-
ton we believe that patriotic work
can be accomplished in furnishing a
metal so necessary to successful war
operation. Copper with steel, zinc and
lead, will have to be abundantly sup
piled in all the forms in which it will
be needed. Someone has said that the

New York, May 3.-The market
closed generally lower. Full weight
was accorded to the uncertainties sur
rounding the situation. The progress
of enemy submarines was much dis
cussed, as was the Russian situation.
Advices denoted that a portion of the
|'contending elements with the new re-
public may lend a willing ear to the
Teutonic proposals for a separate
peace, which if realized would doubt
less change the whole aspect Of the
war and heavily increase the burdens
which are likely to be forced upon
America. The fear of such a state Of
affairs quite naturally precipitated
liquidation and inasmuch as definite
data with respect to government fl
nancing is now obtainable, the tend
ency on the part Of holders of corpor-
ate issues, who much prefer a nom
fluctuating tax exempt obligation to
the bonds and shares of business con-
Germs to convert holdings into cash in
preparation for subscriptions to the
national issue became quite pronounced
and added to the state of depression.
Then, too, the hearing in the advance

much as the spirit of the times seems
to be to restrict profits or disburse-
ments, it has been intimated that the
