PRESENT CRISIS IN
 COPPER TEMPORARY
 ONLY, SAYS DOWELL

me present crisis Tn the copper in- uuStry Is only temporary, according to S. SS. H- Dowell, general manager of the Sopper Queen branch of the PheIps Dodge corporation. who was the prin- cipal speaker at the Douglas luncheon club recently
 MT. Dowell discounted any rumors that the Copper Queen was to close it's Sinelter here and said that when con dltons changed for the better. which ne hoped would be soon, the cornpanv contemplated spending between ga. .O00. : 900 and $4,0OO,O00 on it's reduction works there.
 Relating facts, and discarding all theories MT. Dowell went, into the cop per situation thoroughly. He told how that at the beginning of the war the government appealed to metal pro- ducers to speed up production. When the armistice was signed contracts both of the government and amnuni- tlon makers, were cancelled and it took several r=~Qths for producers to find Just exactly where they stood Fol lowing this, with production continuing but orders decreasing. millions of pounds of metal began to pile up. until at the beginning of this year producers found themselves with 10000. COG pounds of copper on hand.
 With copper selling in New York al about IS cents, and the cost of produc-

ton being about 17 or IS cents pro ducers naturally held back their stocks, MT. Dowell said. This had brought financial problems, necessitatinS the borrowing of huge sums, until at the present time the banks have just about reached the end of their credit and liquidation must set in.
 The situation is critical, I cannot predict what the outcome will be. But the crisis in the copper market is only temporary" the speaker declared.
 The Copper Queen at this time has on hand over seven months production, which aggregates about 35,QeA000 pounds of metal. Wages and supplies have been high and it has cost about IS cents per pound to produce the cop per" he continued. Naturally stocks | have been held in the hope that the market would improve and during this time production has continued despite curtailment.
 ':The present prices of copper in my mind, are and have been artificial They have not been governed by the law of supply and demand. However immediate prospects for improvements are not bright.
 Mir. Dowell also told of the huge ex- penditures his company is making which includes s3.0o0,000 on a concen- trator at Bisbee and S5,000,000 on steam shovel operations on Sacramento Hill
 He said that although half the force on stripping operations at Bisbee hao been layed off, he did not anticipate further reductions of that sort
 He said it was impossible to clos, down, but that operations must be cur tailed to minimum probably les than 50 per cent normal.

Extensive Headaear.

For centuries in Mexico and other
Spanish-speaking countries the hat has
been the object of mans vanity. The
custom found Its origin In the days
when the Hapsburg power was su-
preme. One Of the most cherished
privileges which the old grandees en-
joyed was that OF wearing their hats
In the presence OF royalty. The alb
solute power of the monarch left them
little else to do but enter Into rivalry
with one another in the splendor Of
their head coverings. The gay con-
ceits spread rapidly throughout the
Spanish dominions, and even today
characteristic sugar-loaf hats may be
found In Mexico for sale at the as
founding price OF from $500 to $1,000
for single hat
