Ore Of the largest. if not the largest, exhibits of the kind in the world will ee one or the features of the Indus ~r1zl Exposition to be held here next week IL will be display of articles which can be manufactured from copper. showing the superiority of The yellow metal for such purposes.
 The copper exhibit will be shown in a 20-foct booth in the big exposi- sion tent on the old Central school hrcck. Central avenue and Monroe street. throughout the Industrial show next week It has been ar ranged by the Builders Exchange of Phoenix, which has spent Q month in perfecting plans and collecting the exhibit
 The display was made possible to g rresr extent by James Douglas of the United Verde Extension mine at Je- rome. who had many of the articles made in the East. Other articles were provided by Phoenix business firms. while at least one, a canteen of pure copper. was made by the Arizona Cnruice Works here. Others were r-anufactured at Ajo.
 Most of the uses to which copper can be put will be shown in the In 6rstriai Week exhibit. building ma terials made of copper being em- pkasfzed.
 Visitors to the exposition exhibit first will see specimens of copper ore. Next will come the rolled sheets followed by the more crude and sim pie metal articles, such as bars. ropes nails and rivets of copper. Then the finer and more unusual manufactured rro1ucfs will be seen in line.
 Among the unique finished articles on display will be Spanish roof tile and Spanish shingles made entirely oi copper. Beside the new copper tile win be shown tile treated to give the appearance of having been used foI months. subject to wind and weather Tile Of copper turns a handsome moss green under exposure.

of the Arizona metal will be shown, each article of the exhibit bearing a card explaining it.
 Beside building material, all the standard articles ordinarily made of copper will be displayed, and with them the latest household articles of the metal. The last include hand hammered copper vases, electrical heaters, cooking utensils and the like.
 One of the most interesting items of the exhibition will be photograph records made of pure copper, which have just been received from Ajo. Pure copper radiator cores made in Ajo also will be exhibited.
 We believe this copper exhibit will prove one of the most interesting in the exposition tent or elsewhere Leo Weaver, secretary of the Builders Exchange. said yesterday. Tt will be worth several visits to anyone MT. Weaver said three purposes | lay behind the Exchangee's showing | of the exhibit here: To bring to the attention of all the importance and value of the copper industry; to stimulate the use of copper generally; | to show the superior qualities of cop 1 per for use in building, qualities I which overcome manyfold the initial cost, since the copper will last longer 1 than the building itself.
 l Following the Industrial Exposition the copper display will be exhibited ! in the windows of local business houses for some time, MT. Weaver said.
