 COPPER INTERESTS

Norman Carmichael, general man. ager of the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd, has confirmed a report that negotia- tions are under way in New York for possible transfer to the Phelps Dodge Corporation of the property of his company, which is represented by J. Pentland, director of Edinburgh, Scotland. The purchase contemplated would give the Phelps Dodge interests possession of one of the largest prop critics in the Southwest, including hundreds of mining claims, from Cliff ton, up Chase Creek Canyon at Long fellow, Metcalfe, Coronado and Moren- ci, with modern shelter below Cliff ton, several mills, a narrow-gage rail- road system to the main mining groups, a 1O7-mile broad-gage to Lordsburg, N. M., on the Southern Pacific, and Hachita, on the Fl Paso & Southwestern, the latter a railroad system owned by the prospective pur- chaser. In the operating plant are included three large stores, large hos pitals, libraries and offices.
 A notice mailed from the home of- flee in Edinburgh on July IF says:
 At a special meeting of the board of the Arizona Copper Co. Ltd., held today, a proposal was under consider ation by which the undertaking would be sold for shares in an American cor poration. In the present serious con- dition of the copper industry the di- rectors consider it desirable to pro- ceed with negotiations. A communi- cation will be sent to the shareholders as soon as practicable"
 It is understood that British war taxes have absorbed the greater part of the returns from operation of the Arizona Copper Co.'s mines for number of years past, for most of the stock is held in Scotland. Through postwar depression, the mines and works have been closed for months past and the thousands of employees, mainly Mexicans, have scattered. Limited operation is scarcely feasible, for the ores of the district are gen orally low-grade sulphides, needing economical handling, in large quan- tity, for assurance of profit at ordin- ary metal prices.
 The Arizona Copper is the oldest copper mining corporation in Arizona, having been purchased in 1883 from the Lesznysky Bros, whose main property at the time was the famous Longfellow mine, with rich oxide-car- bonate ores. A notably "baby gage" mining railroad has been built and a railroad to Lordsburg had to be ad- ded. In 1892, James Colquohoun, the manager, added a sulphuric acid leach ing plant, the first in the Southwest, this at the old Clifton shelter site. In 1914, a short distance below Cliff ton, a modern shelter was erected, with reverberatory equipment, on de- signs of Dr. L. D. Ricketts. Last year the local property of the shan non Copper Co. was absorbed, includ- ing many mining claims in the Met calf section, railroad and smelling and concentrating plants below Cliff ton. :

TWain's Yankee at
Court in the Films

When Mark Twain published "A
Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" the william Fox film version OF
which Is now being shown at the Sell
VIVA, he expected to arouse a lot of dis
cussion--and he did. He was tired OF
hearing about 'the good old times" ana
was determined to write book show
ing. in humorous fashion. that the
knights of old were by no means all they
were reported to he. So he transplanted
Connecticut Yankee TO the court OF
King Arthur and proved that the mod
ern American is more than a match for
the ancient knight.
Long after the publication of the book
the author was kept buey answering let
ters from people who thought ne had
llbelled the Middle Ages. However =
majority Of people agreed with Mari
Twain. and even those who thought he
ought not TO have laughed at King Ar
thur found that they could not keep
from laughing with him. The irresist-
ible calibre OF his fun and satire routed
his critics. who ere many years found
this remarkable book translated into
practically all languages.
