PHELPSDODGE NEGOTIATING -OR \. |. CO. HOLDINGS

Persistent rumors reaching Clifton this week from the east were to the effect that negotiations between offici- als of Phelps Dodge Corporation, and officials of the Arizona Copper Co, Ltd, for the sale of the mining pro- perty and equipment of the latter com pany in this district, had been re- sumed.
 General Manager Carmichael, of the Arizona Copper Go. Ltd, admitted 10 COPPER ERA man on Friday of this week that such negotiations had been resumed in New York City and are now in progress but no more de- finite statement could be made at the present time.
 The principals in the negotiations under way, and which it is believed are in a fair way to conclusion now, are Walter Douglas, President of Phelps Dodge Corporation, owners of the Phelps-Dodge mines at Morenci, zona Copper Go. Ltd, who has been in New York for the past several weeks.
 The negotiations between the offici- als of the Phelps Dodge Go. and The Arizona Copper Co. Ltd, looking either to consolidation of the mining and milling operations of the two companies in this district, or sale, were commenced more than a year ago. A conference was held in New York City at that time participated in by the director and officers of both companies. At the first meeting it was. apparent that there was a diff ference existing as to the valuation to be placed upon the holdings of each company. An adjournment was taken for six months and in the meantime a physical valuation. of the properties of each .oompang was made by A. C. Go. and Phelps Dodge Go. engineers As basis for negotiations these ! valuation figures are. now in. the hands of. the officials of both com | panies. .----
 The concensus of opinion in local toircles in the absence of any official | Information, is. ,that the present negotiations wili result in sale of I the holdings of Thes=Arizona Copper l Co. Ltd. to Phelps Dodge Corporation. In this connections; however, it is lspointed out that any sale agreed upon | by the directors of The Arizona Cop I per Co.,. Ltd, would have to be rati- l fled by the stockholders of that com- pany.

GOV. TOM CAMPBELL COMMERCIAL CLUB ID ACTION

The Clifton Commercial Club is in receipt of a communication from Thos '. Campbell Governor of Arizona, urging the Commercial Club to take prompt action in a united effort which has been launched ali over he state, n opp Jsltion to that portion of the Fordney Tariff Bill, now pending in Congress, which imposes an import duty of $1.50 per barrel on crude oil.
 The Arizona Chapter of the Ams, rican Mining Congress is alarmed over the resultant i'll effects of this parti- cular provision of the tariff bill and on June 16th passed a resolution in opposition to this import duty, for the direct benefit of the oil producers of this country, to the detriment of almost every line of industry.
 Governor Campbell. in his letter .o Executive Office
 State House
 Phoenix, Arizona June 29
 TO THE VARIOUS CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS OF ARIZONA:
 It is possible that by this time you have already received copy of the resolution adopted by the Arizona Chapter of The American Mining Congress, June 14, with reference to the proposed imposition of an import duty on crude oil in the amount of $1.50 per barrel. HoWevr, I am en- closing copy of same for your in- formation.
 '1f this proposal is enacted into law. it is obvious that it will have a very serious effect upon the indus. tries of this state, not only the min ing industry but practically upon all other lines, including the already serious situation as it affects our pub lie utilities. To my mind there is grave doubt as to whether enactment of this proposal into law would not result in complete Reorganization of all industry in Arizona. already strug- gling under heavy burdens.
 "This is a matter of such vital i'm portance to the prosperity and we'll being of our state, that I wish to re- spectfully urge your honorable body to take such action as you may deem advisable. by the passage of resolu- tions or otherwise, to defeat the pro posed Legislation I would further suggest that copies of any resolutions you may. adopt. be forMarded to the members of the Arizona Congression- al delegation.
 Sincerely yours,
 - TH0S. B. CAMPBELL, Governor.

Republican Charges of Fraud In Land Department Not Shown; Leading Politicians Are In Bitter Row

counting and delivery of his office. No one believed that the charges against Clark amounted to any more than a political horseplay. The aS- sault on Clark was generally believed to be only for the purpose of uphold ing the campaign issues of the gov ernOr.
 Charge Dismissed
 On one charge. after a hearing last ing several days, the justice of the peace promptly dismissed the charge there was some talk of having the ac' counts of Clark audited and the other four cases were continued. Now these charges have been dismissed by the prosecuting officer, with the statement that there is no evidence to sustain them. MT. Clark is now his friends.
 Republicans Rowing
 The extent of the fight going on now among the republicans in Phoe nix and in the state is not known throughout the state; it is growing more fierce and open every day. =
 Two leading republicans in the capital city can hardly be found that will speak to each other. Campbell and his pie counter followers are fighting Cameron: Campbel's bunch are fighting among themselves while the republicans in the county court house are split four or five ways and the devil is to pay generally.
 The republicans are split worse than the democrats ever were in the past; the only difference is that demo crats always fight in the open and advertise their differences, while the republicans try to conceal their dis agreements.

Especial to Copper Era)

tPhoenix, July 9-The dismissal of the cases wherein Ben R. Clark, late deputy state land commissioner, was charged with having failed to turn over all the funds belonging to that department when he left his office on January l, has revived memories of the campaign last year.
 During that campaign Governor Campbell, seeking reelection to the office of governor introduced as the prominent feature of his campaign the administration of the state land commission, of which he had been the head for three years. The governor went all over the state boldly charg- ing that the democratic majority of the land commission was in league with big cattle interests in the state to rob the people of thier land herit- age, given by the government as a part of the statehood admission bii!. The governor said if he was given the power he would uncover many gross frauds in the land department and intinated that he would bring the rascals to justice.
 Six months have passed since Gov ern0r Campbell assumed another term as governor and with four re- publican members of the land com mission, including himself, he has had access to all the papers and re cords and there has been expectation that he would have something more tangible than his campaign thunder to submit to the public in substantiation of his land department charges. So far as known nothing has been found that would indicate that he had foundation for his campaign charges
