THE PRICE OF COPPER

1t begins to look as though the
market price of copper is the one
thing that fails to conform to the u.s.
ually understood laws of commodity
values. The surplus stocks are small
Ter than they have been for many
years; according to good authority,
they total but single months sup
ply; production is han dly keeping pace
with consumption, and the demand
for the metal is growing-but, even
so, the price fails to move upward
and the confident predictions of an
increase have failed.
In common with many other papers
published in the mining districts and
therefore directly interested in the
price of the metal the Verde Copper
News has constantly advocated the
imposition of a reasonable duty on
copper imports. This stand it takes
not so much for the sake of any
benefit that would accrue to the mine
American wage scales and living con-
ditions. 1t must be remembered that
a great modern copper mine is ex-
actly like manufacturing plant, in
every fundamental feature save that
it's supply of raw material is being
steadily depleted. Leaving this fac
tor out of consideration for the mo-
ment, costs are capable of calculation
to as fine a point as are the costs
labor is the controlling factor If we
permit the product of the mines in
Mexico, South America and Africa,
which are operated by cheap labor,
to be dumped on our market at
prices less than our normal produc-
ton costs, it stands to reason that
we must either close the mines or
cut the wage scales.
Mining is one of the basis indus
tries of the country, especially of the
West, and surely it is as much Ell
titled to reasonable protection as is
any other We will do we'll to re-
member that the only thing that
keeps the price of copper where it
is, is the certainty that an advance
would be followed Immediately by a
great increase of imports.-Verde
Copper News.

A Damsite Better

The editorial sanctum of the Ari-
ona Republican has been informed
'that within a short time Senator
Cameron will introduce into the sem
ate, or have introduced in the House
a bill bearing his name to provide
for the entering by the government
upon Glen-Bridge canyon project for
the development of the Colorado
River"
1t is a damsite better to have a
United States Senator call to the
attention of the busy public the pos
sible damsites in Arizona than it is
to have a few individuals working
for the best interests of California
acquire those interests and by and
for California, live in Arizona to do
it.
The Arizona Republican has a very
clever editorial writer; in fact he is
classified in the highest ranks of his
profession, but we feel he is doing
Senator Cameron an injustice.

DoxoIogies

The lesser doxology, or "Glory be to
the Father and to the Son." ETC.,
seems to have come into use in the
Fourth century. The use of the
greater doxology, or Gloria in excel
sis" sometimes called the angelic
hymn, from it's being an expansion of
the song of the angels in Luke 2:14)
can be traced back to the Fourth cen
tury. 1t appears in the Roman liturgy
at the beginning of the Sixth century.
The last stanza Of the hymn, written
by Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711),
beginning, praise God from whom all
blessings flow," is commonly called
"the doxolOgy" in Protestant churches.

SILVER ORE STRIKE
At SUPERIOR

Rediscovery of the old silver vein
of Superior in one of the most i'm
portant ore strikes in Arizona in re-
cent years was made known today
by the announcement of the Belmont
Copper Company of Superior that
ore assaying 1000 ounces of silver,
21 per cent zinc and per cent copper
had been struck on the 1850 foot
level of the property.
Hugh Daggs of Phoenix, former
owner of the property, who has been
in San Diego, hastened to Superior
several days ago on the announce
ment of the strike. He brought
samples of the ore, rich in silver,
to Phoenix late Monday and return
ed Tuesday to Superior, where efforts
are being made to determine the
extent of the ore body bearing the
rich mineral.
Superior for a brief period was one
of the richest silver producing dis
tricts of the country. In 1882 and
1884 the Magma Copper Company
was worked as a silver property and
an enormous amount of silver was
taken from the ground. In recent
years prospectors have sought to pick
up the rich silver vein that was be-
lieved to have extended from Superior
to GLOBE, where in the early mining
days considerable silver was found.
The incorporators of the Belmont
Copper company are F. S. Stephans,
who formerly lived in Phoenix; A. j.
Smith, organist at the Trinity Cathe-
drel and Charles B. Ward, local att
torney The capital stock of the
company is $1,500,000.
The Belmont Copper company took
over a group of claims first worked
by the North Butte Mining company.
These claims included the DaggS
group and a group known as the
United Magma Copper Company.
