The price has been so low for so many years but now that it has reached the long looked for and ex- pected price of $1.00 and over, it has stimulated very strongly lIle desire for rho white metal, and instead of only relying on the by-product from other metals. the silver mine itself is wanted, and there is every evidence that the p,ice of the metal is going to hold strong for many years to come This will be insured mainly by the metal being used as an increased medium of exchange, and for other purposes more silver will be used than gold, especial " for ornamentation purposes, etc. Tic demand for manganese is creat- ing great attention and there is a good deal of talk concerning it in Arizona However, it's production has been lll pn account of the high standard unit demanded, viz. so per cent This is now being lowered to 60 and even 40, but Arizona being so far removed from the iron smelters. shipment charges pIeclIces It's resources bamg made aVaila ole, sill demand may eventually make II na.'ilnf;.hle when | the supplies from o,lec localities te- | come exhausted, There is wonderful

The Marain in conner

A great deal has been said and writ ten upon the large margin the mines are making in copper. Now comes the established price of 23 1ac for the metal
 It must be borne in mind in these cal culations that labor in all departments in connection with mining is receiving larger wages than ever before. Ma terial of every nature has risen in price with leaps and bounds. Trans portation is high and the cost of re- fining has risen proportiOnally also. Then the profits of many large com- panies are not entirely from copper, but they have in connection with it's pro- ductiOn, railroads and smelters, town sites, stores, water and electric light works and other commercial enter nriSes-all these return good margins

Before the tbor troubles in June, U. V. Extension was producing around 5,500,000 lbs month ly.

The smelter treating the ore is again in commission, and probably by another 30 days all branches will be operating at normal capacity.
 Fears that Inspiration Consolidated Copper company might cut the divi- dend owing to the shutdown since June were allayed yesterday when the di- rectors posted the regular quarterly dividend of S2 a share payable Oct. % to stock of record Oct.

 In response to a request from The Tucson Citizen for his opinion on the general effect of the action of the gov ernment in fixing the price of copper at 231b cents for four months, on the industry in this state, sent a few days ago, Walter Douglas, president of the Phelps Dodge corporation, operating great mines at Bsbee, Morenci, Ty- rome and Nacozari, Sonora, sent the following letter to the editor of The Citizen:
 Editor Tucson Citizen,
 Tucson, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 I am in receipt of your letter of the | Fist requesting that l express an opinion on the recent action of the gov- l ernment in fixing the price of copper | at 23la cents The agreement entered into between the government and pro- 1 ducers establishes price of 23h2 i cents per pound for the next four | months, after which time such price will be subject to further considera- | tion and possible revision.
 Another point which was mutually agreed upon was that the wage scale of labor engaged in the production of copper should, during the length of the agreement, be based on the wages paid 1 during the month of August. The Au- ! hac ket price for copper of 26.62 cents which in the case of the Warren dis trict paid a miner $5.35 per day and mucker and trammer s5.10. Labor will, therefore, receive the advantage of practically three cent increase 1T the price of copper above that which is being actually received by the pro. l ducers.
 The price of 231s cents fixed by the government cannot be regarded a: over generous treatment to the pro ducer of copper if the prices fixed fol other commodities is considered. The average price obtained for the copper metal for ten years prior to January l, 1917. was 1862 cents per pound The present price represents, there fore, an increase above this average o | only about 41 per cent
 In the case of lead which averaged something over four cents per pound the price of eight cents was fixed. ol nearly a 100 per cent increase. Iror and steel products and coke have simi. larly received more favorable treat ment than copper in that the agree. ment entered into on September 2l fixes the price for pig iron at S33 pei gross ton, the pre-war price having been in the neighborhood of from $l:

Another property that is receiving great deal of attention next to the Magma is the Queen Creek Copper Co. Although making little noise in the world they have been steadily at work for year First, they did over 5000 feet of diamond drill work; some. min eralization was discovered, but of what value has not been disclosed. The company then started sinking a Shafy on an excellent appearing contact vein between the quartZite and limestone. This shaft has been continuously in a strong vein of ore down to a depth of 300 feet, the vein carries gold, silver and copper values, some of the ore as saying S35 in gold per ton. At the 200 level a station and croSs-cut proved the vein to be 121a feet in width a' 300 feet it is still wider with shoot of ore averaging from to 15 per cent copper A station is also being cut on this level and all the working is in the vein, as well as a cross-cpt to the footwar.

This property at Superior has re- ceived greatly increased attention of late, but this has been growing since last November when the cutting on the 1900 level of an ore shoot 34 feet wide and averaging the entire width over 10 per cent of copper contents brought the property into great prominence The company up to that time had been paying substantial dividends from min ing ore shoots of lesser extent above the 100 foot level and averaging about seven per cent copper.
 Nearly a year after cutting the ore on the 1900 foot level it is now an nounced that a continuation of the ore shoot has again been cut on the 1900 foot level: a croSs-cut has already demonstrated over 10 feet of ore aver aging over 14.5 per cent copper, 5H ounces in silver, and $1.60 in gold per ton, with the richest ore showing in the face of .the cut.

WHITE FEATHER
CLEVER
War Play of Intrigue and
Secret Service Pleases and
Thrills Audience

Last night witnessed the first per-
formance of the season of The
White Feather" a play of intrigue,
play of war, which had, great sue
cess in both London and Canada.
Last night starts the seasons tour in
this country. AS play THE White
Feather Is one which has a direct
appeal to the hearts of every true
American, for the German espionage
and intrigue portrayed in the play is
the same which in one form or an
other tnts country has encountered.
III addition to being a most enter
taiEtnR and thrilling play, without
the harasaing events which usually
accompany such stories. THE White
Feather" has another field-that of
type portrayal. And indeed, without
this. the play might fall fiat, for it
is Just this phase, this careful char
acterfZation. which has been injected
into each one of the cast, that re-
lieves the suspense and provides a
vein of good comedy, not enough to
take o1ic's mind from the theme Of
the play, but enough to afford a re-
lief. A delicate love theme adds it's
share also.
The story of THE White Feather"
Is justly interesting. Concerning the

i'll averting the news of troop trans.
portation going to the submarines
waiting outside the harbor and pre-
vents the burning of the house, the
signal agreed upon to warn the sub
marines that troop transportation
had started and captures the plotters.
All in all. the play is one of plot
and counter plot; discovery and
counter discovery; wit against wit.
The audience sees what is coming as
the play advances instead of having
T. all left until the last few minutes,
bur then there is CROUCH suspense
pr divided throughout the acts to
make up for this depression from
the usual.
The cast which interprets the play
could not be improved. Well rounded
and nicely balanced, each one of
them handles the part entrusted to
him with delicacy and flEesse which
admits of nothing more to be added
or subtracted.
