COPPER BRINGS
MORE MILLIONS
Increased Price in Metals
Brings Added Sales to
Ell Paso Merchants.

General advance in the price Of met
ais during the last two years has
brought extra millions Of dollars to
the mining community surrounding FL
Paso and local merchants have reaped
liberal benefits therefrom. Copper,
lead. silver and zinc have all brought
more money. which means more pros
perity for everybody.
IN June. 1916. the general average
for lead was SIS cents per pound A
year later it had advanced steadily to
lily per pound. Notwithstanding the
increased demand for lead in the
manufacture Of ammunition in the
United States, incident to the needs
OF war, the price has fallen lately.
This may be in a measure due to the
fact that the allies bought heavily
several months ago and are not now
buying any considerable quantities Of
lead
silver Mining Given Impetus.
In 1915 silver was selling at 40
cents per ounce. A year later II had
gone to Sc cents and during 1917
reached 81. While the price has been
less than the highWater mark of 81
for a few months, it is averaging from
so to 60 percent advance over prices
classes connected with the mining
Of silver in this territory are making
a good profit.
No metal has caused 4 greater com
motion in this country since the out
break of the war in Europe than cop
per. For Is years prior 10 the war
copper sold for IS cents per pound.
In 1916 the monthly average had
gone to 81 cents, reaching the high
est average in the month Of December,
when II was 31.9 cents. After decla-
the production Of copper figured so
prominently in connection with war
plans that the price was fixed for four
months by the government at a maxi
mum OF 23-5 cents. and has since re-
NAMED at that figure. While il could
not advance beyond that. market con-
ditions might reduce the price. but
so far this has not been done. The
price Will soon be fixed again by the
government for a fixed time.
For three years zinc has been ad-
vancng, until about a year ago, when
the prce fell. While II is not bringing
so much now as formerly. the price IS
still something better than eight
cents. During the period OF high
prices zinc was the means OF bringing
increased wealth to FL PasO.
Effect Felt in Fl PasO.
No city in the southwest has ben
Gifted so largely from the general
increasing mining activities Induced
by the advance in metal prices as FL
Paso- Large sales OF mining ma
chinery and supplies OF all kinds have
been a stimulus TO general business
and offer additional inducements to
men looking for business locations.

Hay, Poultry, Dairy Products.
Arizona agriculture is not confined
to cotton and grain. however. one
can raise in that state nearly every
fruit and vegetable possible to raise
elsewhere, and they are being raised.
The hay crop. too, is immense. That

close to 200. 600 tons and choice hay
sold recently in a lot of 1900 tons at
S32 q ton, while ordinary hay is in

the general economic condition is the
fact that 1880 automobiles were Ii
ccnsed in 1917.
Livestock Industry.
Arizona is one Of the chief cattle
and sheep raising states OF the west
and the revenue from livestock runs
into the millions annually. Figures for
1917 shipments are not yet available,
but they are known to have been
large, while prices were never better
for stockers or fat cattle. sheep and
wool DrOuth conditions worked
against some OF the cattlemen, while
scarcity OF cars had a deterrent ef-
1ecr on shipments. However. the car
shortage bids fair TO be remedied in
time for the spring shipments, and
heavy precipitation OF rain and snow
since Jan 1 will put the ranges in
good condition as soon as the weather
warns sufficiently TO start the grass

for construction OF q state road along

great amount OF actual road construc-
ton since the United States went into
the war. Also because Of the war in
fluence, there has been little construc-
ton OF buildings and the erection Of
homes has been restricted to immedi-
ate requirements. By curtailing some
