SHORTAGE OF COPPER
SEEN IN FEW YEARS

Unless large new copper deposits
are uncovered somewhere within the
next Is years, there will be national
shortage in the red metal. in the
opinion of J. Parke Claiming, vice
president and consulting engineer lor
the Miami Copper company.
In recent address Mr.. Claiming
stated that in the next decade pro-
ducers may be put to the necessity
of working ores of as low as one
half of one per cent copper content,
in order to supply the demand for the
metal.
Commenting upon conditions in the
copper mining industry, Mr.. Chan
ming said that although the present
outlook for the market is gloomy, bet
ter times are in prospect. He cited
the fact that in his 40 years exper-
ience in the industry, he had seen the
metal sell as low as nine cents a
pound, stating this was evidence that
the present price of around 12 Sd
cents ''need not be matter of toe
great Encouragement"
Activity does not always mean
prosperity" he added. "New develop
ment in industry is not equaling ex-
haustion, as is proven by the fact that
the total amount Of goods manufacture
ed in 1920 scarcely exceeded that Of
1913"

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

From Lacrosse, Wis, comes the
story of heroic effort and brave SER
vice during the recent disastrous fire
which claimed the life of one nun,
burned the older part of st. Rose S
convent and threatened st. Roses
chapel, noted throughout the middle
west as one of the most beautiful
edifices in that part of the country,
While the firemen we're fighting
the flames, $50 Scouts carried out all
the furniture from the threatened
third floor of the convention. The
BOYS remained on duty throughout
the rest of the day aiding the sisters
in removing their belongings from the
water-soalsed rooms to places Of safe
ty. The guarding Of the entrances to
the courtyard was also attended to
by the Scouts who succeeded in keep
ing the eager crowd out of possible
danger.
To the hard pressed firemen the
boys served hot coffee and sand
wiches.
The chief Of the La Crosse fire de-
partment officially thanked the Scout
leaders for their direction of the work
and complimented the boys on their
discipline and the orderly manner 10
which they carried out instructions.

Central bank at Wilcox when it went

INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS
ANNUAL MEET JAN. 1911

Several other state organizations
are arranging meetings either OF their
membership, executive committees, or
directors in connection with the annual
convention of the Arizona Industrial
Congress at Phoenix January 10 and
II, according to officials of the latter
organization. Latest plans call for
limiting the convention itself to one
day, leaving the other open for ses-
sions of the other organizations and
for committee meetings.
With the convention only three
weeks away, preparations are going
ahead rapidly and by the end of the
week it is expected the full program
can be announced. Speakers of nat
ional prominence are being obtained.
Most of the larger chambers of
commerce of the state are understood
to be planning to send delegations to
the convention, in connection with
which a meeting of chamber of COM
merce secretaries viii be held to con-
slider common problems and united
effort in common causes.
Ballots in the annual election of the
congress, now being held, are coming
in at a remarkably rapid rate. First
hours after the ballots had been plac-
ed in the mail, and since then several
hundred have been received each day.
As the election results are to be an
nouncd the first of the year ballots
must be mailed before December %
to be counted.

STATE ASSESSORS RAISE
PROPERTY TAX FOR 1924

Property valuations for assessment
purposes in the state Of Arizona in
1924 will be higher than in 1928, al
though not appreciably so, according
to Charles r. Howe, member of the
Arizona tax commission which con-
cluded its work of fixing minimum
assessments for the 1924 rolls after
two-day convention in Yuma Friday.
This will be brought about by the
addition of more property on the rolls
than formerly, it was pointed out by
Mr. Howe, who said this would make
up for depreciation Of valuations in
other lines of industry as the result,
for instance, of the standstill in the
mining business.
The purpose of the commission, it
was pointed out, has been to bring in
as much assessed property as possible
in order to afford the people a lower
tax rate.
The most important decision Of the
commission was the 81 increase in as
sessments on sheep and the reduction
of So on range cattle.
Other important decisions made in
cluded the fixing of minimum as
sessment of $50 per room on house
hold furniture. This has reference to
ordinary residences. Hitherto, as
SCISSORS have adopted a hit or miss
system with regard to rating house
hold furniture, but under the new rul-
inf household furniture will be as
sessed the $50 minimum per room.
Assessments of automobiles also re-
ceived attention. It was decided that
all cars that did not appear on the as
sessment rolls of 1928, where the Ii
cense was taken after the rolls were
closed, will be counted as new cars in
the 1924 assessment. In other words
these cars will be assessed at the fac
tory price. ~
No new methods were adopted with
regard to arriving at assessments OF
banks, electric light and power plants
and street railways.
The decision to assess cattlemen at
a lower rate on range eattle-that OF
SIT instead of S20--will have an inn
portant bearing upon valuations, 1t is
considered by commissioners and as
SCISSORS as it will mean that cattle
men who regard this as fair assess
ment will be more inclined to furnish
assessors with complete data with re-
gard to their stock than they have
done in the past.
1t was even admitted by cattlemen
at the convention that. many of the
owners had been holding out with re-
gard to their stock owing to their
feeling that they were being over
assessed.
The valuations arrived at viii be
used by county assessors throughout
the state. The commission will meet
on the second Monday in August,
1924, as board of equalization to
make final decision on these assess
ments, which may be increased orlow-
cred according to the discretion Of the
tax commissioners.

GEOLOGTST DOUBTS THE
THEORY CRATER MOUNT

Though an unSentimental mining
corporation, with large interests else
where, is drilling at Meteor mountain
with expectation of striking d great
mass of meteolic iron, Geologist N. III.
Darton Of the United States geological
survey, expresses the opinion that the
exploration will be in vain. He is a
supporter of the theory that the era
ter, which has been thought caused
by the impact of a heavenly wander
er, in reality was formed by an ex-
plosion Of steam through the Coconino
sandstone.
In support is pointed out that the
region around Flagstaff is wholly vol
canic in formation, with inclusion Of
the San Francisco mountain, the high
est in Arizona, though volcanic action
is little in evidence as far as the cra-
ter, which is about 40 miles southeast
of this point. He states also that gov
ernment agents, with sensitive mag
netized deflection instruments have
been unable to find any indication of
large mass of iron under the floor
or sides Of the crater.
The crater is 1000 feet wide and
about 500 feet deep, its floor deep IN
silica sand that has been changed APP
parently by force and heat, to minute
glass-lil1e particles that are as hard
to restrain in shaft sinking as is
quicksand.
While meteoric iron masses have
been found scattered for miles around
the crater, little iron has been found
in the sand of the crater and explora-
ton now is being conducted on the
theory that the meteor plunged into
the earth at an angle and that it rests
under one of the shattered walls which
rise $50 feet above the surface of the
plain.
Drilling has been in progress for
some time through this rim of rock,
with late statements that no iron
masses thus far have been found
If the meteor be found, it will pro-
vide a very valuable contribution to
scientific knowledge, but the miners
are actuated by very business reasons.
On the basis of assays of the surface
samples, it is expected to contain %
per cent Of very pure iron and about
s per cent nickel, with inclusion also
of other rare metals of large value.

SAYS STATE AFFAIRS
ARE In POOR HANDS

With the agitation going on in con-
gress for development Of the Colo
rado river, Arizona would have been
sitting in an ideal position had the
late lamented legislature ratified the
compact, and this could have been
readily put through had we 8 governor
who could have risen to realization
of the states necessities. With a
handful of men blocking progress,
Arizona is in a rather unstable posi-
tion, but we believe that the people
will arise to the occasion soon. Rusi-
ness is lax because of the feeling of
uncertainty prevailing, and the know
ledge that the men at the helm of the
ship of state have no knowledge Of
navigation, nor other knowledge worth
while. Because Gov. Hunt may have
the political knack of getting the fa-
vor of working men is no criterion OF
his ability to take care of the state S
affairs, as is indicated by the financial
showing OF the highway department,
which caused the letting out of about
140 men and women, and the possibil-
ity Of the discharge of many men
from the road camps before long. Lis
LcnllR TO LIE duNISG u SitNC al
Dixie and his man McCloskyvitch indi-
Gates how stilted is the reel-necktied
man whom the people elevated to the
governorship at the last election. With
that $5.79 in the state treasury to the
credit of the highway department,
when a short time ago MeCloskey
gave if out that this department was
in fine financial condition, with $780,
900 in its inside pocket, must surely
react on the people and cause them
to lose what little faith they had in
that bunch. Not only is it the high
way department that is getting the
worst of it, but in the other affairs
the people are making a losing, as
witness the big sums that are going
out for investigations" Of road de-
partments, banks, assistants to the
bank examiner at $25 or $50 per day
each, and many other junketing and
bunketing commissions. And back OF
it all is the failure of the governor tc
grasp the necessity of getting behind
the Colorado river development in the
right way. With development under
way thousands of men would be in
employment, the eyes of the country
turned on Arizona and bring prosper
ity throughout the state, where now
only pessimisin prevails. - Kingrnar

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The expected increase in wool buy
ing at Boston, predicted by some for
the closing weeks of the year, has not
wholly materialized, but there is a
steady demand for such grades as are
available. Prices advance very slow
ly, If at all Medium and low woods
continue to show most strength. Some
consigned wools held out of the mar
ket have been sold, the price advances
on quarter bloods having been enough
to make offers attractive to the con-
signors. Eastern buyers are still try
ing to operate in the west, and are
getting little wool, though the grow
ers are holding very firmly to such
lots as have not already been consign-
ed. Buyers are paying a little more
attention to fine staple woods, though
territory fine staple continues scarce,
and offerings of delaine fleeces are
much reduced. London closed strong
on Thursday, except for scoureds.
Fine crossbreds were especially firm
and wanted. All Australian markets
closed this week for the holidays.
Sydney will be the first to reopen,
January 7. South American markets
are also very strong; SO much 50, in
fact, and so far above the parity Of
the Boston market, that very little is
being done for American account,
whereas a year ago shipments were
heavy.
No announcement has yet been
made as to when the heavyweight
wooden openings are to be made, but
it is understood that the market is be-
ing tested by some advance showings
to certain buyers.
