COPPER PRICES GO UPWARD

BISBEE, July 9.--Local brokers re- port tha, the price of copper contin- ues to advance on the New York stock exchange, 19 3-4 cents is being ask ed for copper with August delivery and 20 cents for September delivery. Sales are reported good and the de- mand shows healthy increase.
 Those who are familiar with the To- cal copper situation say that this con- dition has been expected and while the price is increasing slightly it is not sufficient to change the local pro- duction activities as yet.
 Leading sellers ask 1912 cents a pound for July; 19 3-4 cents for Aug. ust and 20 cents for September Ster ing exchange at s404H is a new low record. This may necessitate an early extension of credit and loans to Eu- rope, else it may curtail the outgo of

PHOENlN. July s.-There need be nc fear that the cost Of settleing her returned soldiers on farms $ going to tase s50.0o0. .cU0. or any such sum rom Arizona's coffers. said Governor Campbell tonight, commenting on es- inmates reported made yesterday by officials Of the capitol
 No amount Of money that this proposition nigh: cost would be mo-e than commensurate with the benefits and the justice 10 our fighting men," said the governor. but the estimates made by some officials in the capitol are certainly too high.
 "Na.ching the fedral money. dbl lar for dollar. our share Of the expense would be 5000. .0G0, if the bill now before congress passes, as expected, carrying s2O0, 100000 appropriation. and even IS passed as introduced wi;h 9 s500. 900, Arizona's share would be s1O.e0O,00O.
 However. there will be no levy for this purpose this year." Governor Campbell continued. although the ul- timate settlement of the question will be up to the state land board, and un- douhtedly will be discussed a' it's next meeting.
 Considering the probable lateness cf the passage of the soldiers settle men; bill by congress and the Ieng'l ! cf time it will take the government: to make the necessary appropriation to begin spending these large sums O. money, I do not believe there will be any necessity for tax levy in Ari- zona for this purpose during the cur rent year"
