Wall Street Journal Reviews Situation
 Of This Big Industry

Greenlee county, whose prosperity largely depends on a revival O. cop per mining on a big scale, is inter ested ill the future outlook forf the production of tIe red metal The Wall Street Journal. an authority on fi- nance and mining, in i recent issue. published the following very interes-- ing digest of the copper industry at the present time:
 Worlds consumption In 1922 of new copper, together with amount equi- yalent to metal in the brass scrap used above normal, will probably ap- proximate 1900, O,00O,O ,OQ0 pounds and may equal 2,000, 100000 pounds.
 World stocks of scrap brass other than those in Russia will be down tn normal proportions by October, ac- cording to hest information. This would mean that, beginning with fall, the world must look to mine output and stocks of copper in producers hands for future supplies.
 Producers stocks of refined and ! blister copper other than metals In transit and in process, on June, l, ap proximated 425,OO0,00 pounds, 375. 000,0O0 being refined. This compares with normal pre-war visible refined stocks of around 25,000,000 pounds Invisible stocks in hands of con summers, which pre-war were esti mated to approximate the visible sup plies, are now practically nil. Stock: of copper and brass goods in dealers and manufacturers hands are mucf smaller than normally.
 It would therefore appear that by fall any excess that there may be il stocks of copper in producers hands will not be much more than sufficien to make up for abnormally low amount of metal in consumers hands and in fabricated stocks held by deal CTS and manufacturers.
 Worlds production of copper il 1921 totaled 1.167,OOO,00O pounds, c 97,000,000 pounds a month. Of this only 3S2,000,000 or approximately 30 100000 pounds a month came fron mines outside North and Soul America

r. ]. MEXICAN TILE CO. ENCOURAGES. TRADE AT HOME

BISBEE, July 13-The lesson to be Iearned from closer cooperation be- tween farmer and merchant is ra- pidly manifesting itself all over Ari- zona This was emphasized by the visit Of a Sulphur Springs valley farmer to the store of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company at Doug las recently, the rancher purchasing his first sack of Arizona flour. He stated that he had disposed of his bean crop at another store of the con- pany and that he was now going ts give the Arizona wheat growers a chance at the money which had been paid him for Arizona beans.
 Some interesting information has come to light following a recent brief survey of the purchases of this com pany. At Bisbee and Douglas, where the company operates five stores, S5 percent of the eggs purchased for lmerly came from Kansas, Texas and California; the local ranches now supply this demand, frequent pur- chases assuring freshness and quail Ny The company spends more than 9350.OO per month with one local chicken raiser, this money having previously gone to ranchers outside
 
 the buy-at-home movement, 90 per cent of all fresh meat came from Kansas and all dressed poultry was brought in from outside sources; i; during the early spring months over 70 per cent of the fresh meat pur- chases were made locally and; all dressed poultry sold is raised within a few miles of the Phelps Dodge stores
 Close cooperation exists betwee., the. stores of this company at Mt renci and Clifton and the ranchers of the surrounding valleys. ApproXi mately 95 percent of the fresh meats sold at these stores comes from the Duncan Nalleys being delivered by truck several times each week, and with the resumption of copper pr,r <uction in the Clifton-Morenci dis trict large increase in this business may be. expected. Valley ranchers are feeding cattle for this market II order that an acceptable grade ot beef shall be available for all classes of trade. Veal, pork and lamb soli in the Morenci-C Clifton stores come. from the surrounding valleys and a. eggs used in the district are shipped from Duncan, each one being stamp ed with the guarantee of the raiser
 An agreement has just been con scluded between Romney Brothers o Duncan, and the Phelps Dodge Mer Cantde Company, whereby the lat .s ter will handle all the flour into tn Clifton district

ployment elsewhere are not anxious to return to the mines. It will there- fore be impossible for mines in North and South America to get copper on the market at the rate of 1S0.0oo.oee pounds a month before October or November.
 In 1917, when North and South American copper mines attained peak output for the year of approxA mately 100000, 900 pounds a month. between 30,000.u00 and f0.0oo.ooo pounds a month came from mines with exceedingly high operating costs. It is doubtful whether the output of North and South American mines that today can produce copper at 14 cents with profit, excluding depletion charge, could be gotten above l>o- OO0, ,OO0 pounds a month. ConSeqgsnt- ly, consumption of 1S0.0oo.ooe pounds month by consumers takisS their supplies from the New NorS market would permit available Sorsa end South American mines to operate at about 72 per cent of capacity

CANDIDATES ARE WARNED OF
 CHANGE IN PETITION LAW

Although number of candidates for state offices have tossed, their hats into the ring, no nomination pe- titions have as yet been filed with the secretary of state, according to word received here yesterday. The secretary of state called attention in Phoenix yesterday to changes in the law since the last primary election.
 There have been changes in the law since the last primary and for that reason he gave the following infor nation: Nomination petitions for state offices must have not less than 1 per cent of the party vote for gov ernor at the last election, and not more than 10 per cent, the signatures to be gathered in at least three coun- ties.
 Nominating petitions for county of fices must be filed with the board of supervisors by. August 12, or thirty days before the primary election. For county offices. and precinct commit teemen the petitions must contain at least per cent of the. party vote and not more than 10 per cent. For jus tice of the peace and constable the petitions must contain at least 5 per cent of the party vote and not more than 10 per cent.
 Petitions for state offices must con- tain at least 314 names. if Democratic and ,371 names if Republican. This is based on the party vote for governor at the last election, when 31,3S5 votes were cast in the Democratic column and 37,060 in the Republican column | There have been times when the average man did not know the name of the United States attorney general
