At the end of business on Satur- day. March II, 1922, The state Bank, of Metcalf. through it's Board of Di- ractors, closed it's doors and request ed State Bank Examiner Fairfield ts take charge of the affairs of the bank and liquidate it's assets.
 The procedure on the part Ct the directors was a voluntary one, after discussing the affairs of the bank with the state examiner, and in view of the announced policy of the Phelps Dodge Corporation regarding the op- eration of the mines in the Metcaf district. which policy does not con- template any activity in their low grade properties there until the com pletion of the big concentrator.
 With no immediate prospects fol the early resumption of operations at Metcalf the directors decided that in all fairness to depositors and stock holders the institution should be closed at this time. instead of con tinuing to operate at a loss. The pro fit and loss statement for the BanE Of Metcalf for the year 1921 showed a profit of Sl1.43.

Beckett Says Gloom
 Takers Out Of Place

BISBEE, March 15-Neither Doug las nor Bisbee has cause for feeling gloomy over present conditions, ac- corcsing to P. G. Beckett. general manager of the Phelps Dodge corpora tion who was in this city yesterday from his headquarters in Douglas. ..
 There is nothing to feel gloomy about, and feeling plo",~v does not get one anywhere" said Beckett ''l1 my opinion communities like Douglas and Bisbee should feel happy that st a time like this when copper is sell ing at such a low figure, their mines and smelterS are still turning out cop Der and giving employment to very considerable number of men. There are other mining districts that car not meet the present selling price of copper with any operations whatever,
 T think trip around the country would convince gloom takers of 5Nst how well off we are in Bisbee and Douglas. Of course there is little chance of an early resumption ol such prosperity as the camp has eX' neriencad during the more recent years: in order to keep up operation the mines had to get down to bed rock basis and trim off everything not absolutely essential and practice all possible economies. Yet l believe this was much more healthy sittta tion for everyone and will result in putting general conditions on the sound basis necessary for return tC better times. The sooner this is gen orally recognized the easier it wlil ne for all concerned
