A. C. Officials Leave N. '. For Edinburgh


 General Manager Norman Carmi- chael, of The A. c. Go. Ltd, returned on Wednesday evening from a two weeks trip to New York City where he went to confer with Secretary Wm. Exley Miller and Director J. =Pent- land, prior to their departure for Edinburg, Scotland. Messrs Miller and Pentland have been in this country for the past five months, spending the fore part of their time in Clifton on company business, and later occupied in the east with Federal taxation matters before the Department of Internal Revenue at Washington. MT. Miller has been continuously in Washington on this business for the past four months.
 MT Carmichael states that there is g feeling growing in eastern finan, cial centers that the actions of a few senators, in blocking the ratification of eLlle Versailles treaty, was, to a great extent, responsible for the pre- sent chaotic condition in industrial affairs from an international stand point
 4'The copper market for the future,' said MT. Carmichael, lis still uncer- tain. There are few Optom1StS who talk resumption of copper production in September or October, but the ma jority of well informed men who make close study of the information al situation, are unable to agree with them
 The Arizona Copper Co. Genera Manager confirmed the report of in creased sales of copper during the month of May. but said that June, hat been dull month. The May sale; in this country were made in small lots to fabricators who were placinf orders for delivery three and foul months in advance.
 So far as the local district is con cerned MT. Carmichael stated tha he regretted that he had nothing tt say at this time which would giv, any promise for an early change il the present situation.

Ingraham, chief clerk in the office of the State Engineer, would arrive in Clifton on~ Saturday to represent him at a conference be- tween the Board of Supervisors and the county Highway Commission re- garding the road situation in this particularly from a financial standpoint.

In fact, the State Engineer recently expressed himself emphatic ally, that no part or the 75To state fund would be expended in this coun-
 
 gation was liquidated.
