WALKERS WEEKLY COPPER
 LETTER.

Copper is dull and the tone of the market is easier. Lake and electroly- tic for immediate delivery can be purchased now for about 35 cents a pound. For second quarter delivery asking prices vary from 34 cents for April down to B 1-2 cents for June. July to December copper ranges from 31 1-2 to 29 1-2 cents. Freer deliveries by the railroads has brought some re- sale copper on the market and this has exerted an influence to depress prices. Labor troubles at the refin- cries appear to have been adjusted and this seems to make consumers bearish on the immediate future out look. They are overlooking the fact however, that 35,0OO,000 to 40,000,000 pounds shrinkage of production occur red during the winter months and that between 75,000,000 and 100,000,000 pounds has gone down with the ships sunk recently by submarines.
 According to the best information obtainable consumption is continuing at the highest volume so far reached. The increase in production appears to have ceased for the present. Con- sumers have covered practically their full requirements for April and May, but still must buy some copper for June and a great deal for July de

COUNTY SALARY
 BILL SUSTAINED

PHOENIX-Attorney General Wiley E. Jones yesterday ruled that the county classification bill, known as Substitute Senate Bill 77, is consti- tutional, ard that it became effective March 15. This will mean that boards of supervisors will in some cases increase the pay of office hold CTS.
 It was stated last night that State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce would not honor the claims of the judges of the superior Courts, on the ground that the constitution provides that no of ficer paid by the state shall have his sala:y raised while in office. Part Of the salary drawn by the superior judges is paid by the state. It is probabla that he will force one of the judges to sue him, and carry the matter to the superior court to test it's constitutionality. He is taking his action to protect his bondsmen.
 Following is a copy of the letter sent out by Attorney General Jones to all county attorneys:
 "The matter of Substitute Bill No. | 77, fixing the salaries of state off, cers and classifying the counties of the state and also fixing the salaries of county officers, will call your advice to the board of supervisors at their regular meeting on Monday next. This bill forms a complete chapter and repeals Chap. II, Title 13, Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1913, Civil Code. It also carries an emer- gency clause, that it shall be in full force and effect from and after it's passage and approval by the governor.
 "The intent and desire of the legis- lature was that the act should take immediate effect as expressed in the emergency clause. It has been the policy of this department at all times heretofore to recognize all laws as constitutional, and that policy will be pursued by this department in the matter of said Substitute Senate Bill No IT.
 "The supreme court, having very properly decided that the classifica- tion act, passed in 1912, and incor- porated in Chapter II, Title 15, as above mentioned, was unconstitution- al, it became the duty of the legisla- ture to pass a new classification act as speedily as possible, and after due consideration of legal points involv- ed. I therefore suggest that you ad- wise the board of supervisors on my behalf to observe the provisions of said Substitute Senate Bill No. " including it's emergency clause.
 T think it is the official duty of this department and the county at torneys to uphold the law as passed by the legislature and approved by the governor, and would so advise in the matter of said Bill No. v.
 Said Bill No. 77 was approved the night of March II, and under the emergency clause became effective March 15. For the first half of the present month up to the fifteenth in- stant, can only suggest that you follow the law of 1901, with amend ments thereto, particularly those of 1907 and 1909 and as modified by the provisions of the state constitution ''p am sending this letter today to all county attorneys of the state"

livery. The present dullness of the market may continue for four or five weeks longer, or it may be broken any day by a resumption of buying by Great Britain and France
 ii the European war is to go on during the remainder of this year the maintenance of approximately the present high price level will be neces- sary in order to assure the large pro- duction that will be required. It is probable that at least 20 per cent of all the copper now coming to market is costing more than 15 cents a pound and averaging at least 20 cents Any material decline in the market price would bring about almost immediately a decrease in the volume of output

Sixteen Men Mounted, Seen by Manager of Ranch at Gila Bend Hide in River Bottom.

Phoenix, April 9-At 2 o'clock this afternoon a force of sixteen Mexicans, two on horseback and the rest on foot, all fully armed, appeared at Car others ranch near Gila Bend, sixty miles southwest of Phoenix. They were seen by Joe Edmonds, the man. ager of the ranch, who, with his wife, escaped by back way in small auto mobile which soon broke down. They hid in the brush for an hour and made their way to Gila Bend where posse was organized and a telegram was sent here. Another posse was formed and left for Gila Bend. The MeXicans had disappeared but it was believed they were hiding in the river bottom. Telegrams were sent to Ajo and other points along the border to intercept them. Some of the MeXicans were said to be wearing the same kind of clothing worn by Villistas.
 Phoenix, April 9-Eight thousand persons marched in a loyalty parade tonight and it is estimated that they were cheered from the streets by as many more. The parade, after GOV ering the principal streets, broke ranks at the city hall plaza where ad- dresses were delivered by Governor Campbell and Judge R. B. Sloan, the last territorial governor.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Enlisted men
Of Squadron A, New York National
Guard cavalry, told the Senate Military
Committee to-day that the Guard could
not be brought up to the strength con-
templated in the national defence act,
or even maintained at its present
strength. Men now in the service were
anxious to get out, they declared, and
the virtually unanimous opinion among
them was that universal military train
ing and service legislation should be
enacted.
The Guardsmen spoke under the au-
spices of the American Security League.
Herbert Barry, secretary, headed the
delegation.
The men believed the liberalization
OF the Guard was not desired by the
enlisted men, and that its support from
higher. officers did not represent the
views of the rank and file. Personally
they thought the National Guard sys-
tenn should be abolished and universal
military training and service be sub

National Guard mobilization as IAN eco

Other marine mammals which are
good for food as well as for CONNER
cial purposes are the seal, the walrus,
the dugong and the sea COW. The
dugong has always been priced for
