attacked by mining men in the copper | industry. The success they attained and that is now being so handsomely demonstrated in the output of metal means large returns. probably around $10, the share annually on a 15 cent copper market, to c. & A. on its hold ings of above 70 per cent of the stock of New Cornelia, with like earnings | for holders of the remaining outstand- ing stock of the company, which was derelict. practically abandoned and hopeless. when taken over by the c. & A. in 1911. The activities of the company in it's present production will mean a monthly payroll of around $500, 900 added to the Arizona total.
 Steam shovel pit, production plant and railroad workers enter largely in
 to teh total of Cornelia employees. Machine shop, power plant. pumping station, townsite and other forces are also maintained. A population Of $500 is dependent upon the operations of the company and of smelter opera tors engaged in the development of mineral resources, the facilities mak
 ing their work possible having been provided by New Cornelia through it's railroad construction. water develop ment and other provisions.
 More Wages, Taxes And Output.
 Copper is going abroad from the ' United States at the rate of 100 ,25O,- 900 pounds the month; This includes copper-in-brass. forming a little more | than 25,0GO,000 pounds of the total and which has been worked up by domestic consumers prior to export. The ex- port of the raw copper thus far ths year has been at the rate of billion pounds the year, or half of the total production estimated for the Ameri- can continent in 1917. It means the total output of Arizona for the year plus a very few million pounds addi- tional outside production, provided Arizona production makes the pick-ups and holds to it that now seems as sured. The export figures are by far | the highest in the history of the cop per industry. They are partly ac- counted for by the fact that during the last several months producers have been rushing forward shipments on contracts made during the middle part | of last year and on which they fell | behind for a while, due enbargoes by rail, inability to get ships, tie-ups in the eastern electroIytic plants and home demands for metal which they were obliged to take care of. At the immediate time the producers are without stocks on hand and have nothing for delivery before August Domestic demands in the meantime increasing. Government call for an important tonnage is an additional i item of demand which is now expect | ed any day It will require the earli- est possible delivery in all likelihood. The price will be fixed by the govern ment on this order, it is understood, and be somewhere around 25 cents. The higher price paid by the govern ment together with other factors of the situation, occasion confidence that the general market will work higher rather than lower A thirty cent aver age for copper in July. and possibly this month, is not considered at all Improbable. Its attainment will mean return for Arizona miners to the high est wages of the year, their pay be ing based. under the mutual under standing or voluntary profit sharing plan given by the producing com panies, upon the average price paid for copper in the open market each month. The forces employed in Ari- zona on copper production are con stantly growing, in consequence. of which attainment now to the high wage of the year will mean more distribution than in any previous month in conduct of the industry. By the same token tax payments, based in Arizona upon profits earned on total output of metal, will be higher to state and county than in any previous month of the year.
