In a recent interview in The Country Home, Alex

important metals used here.
Less than two per cent of the
raw metal finds its way iu,o
foreign trade.
Opponents of protection
for American industries will
point to the enormous guam
titles of copper stored in
this country. The influence
is that domestic production
far outstrips the domestic
demand. The truth of the
matter is that probably rs
per cent of the metal stored
in this country came from
the mines of foreign coun-
tries. The remainding
amount, that mined domest-
ically, had to be stored as it
could find no market with
the foreign metal drastically
underselling it. Had a pro-
tective tariff existed,
three-fourths Of the stored
metal would not have been
able to get into this country,
and the other fourth, or that
produced in this country,
would not have been requir-
ed to submit to the competi-
ton of the foreign metal.
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-06-05

Arizona mines are idle be-
cause American-mined cop
per is no match on our own
markets against the copper
that is being shipped into
this country. The foreign
metal is drastically under
selling our metal. The lower
the copper markets, the less
the shipments from Arizona.
The competition is ruthless.
1t is killing the copper min
ing idustry of the United
States. American-mined cop
per must be taken from the
free list. It must be given
adequate protection as that
at%rded all other metals
mined in this country. It
must have at least a fair
chance in this country

HIGHWAY WORK
AND UNEMPLOYMENT

Work on the Oiling of the
section Of L. S. Highway sc
between Lupton and the Ari-
zona-New Mexico state line
was halted on Monday of last
week by w. N. Bird Of the
Arizona state highway de-
partment, when he ascer-
tanned that approximately
two-thirds of the 25 men
employed on the job were
non-residents. That is the
gist of a news item from Hol-
brook, which goes to tell of
how some of the men were
from California and some
from New Mexico.
The last legislature pass
ed a law requiring that all
employees on public work in
Arizona be citizens or bona
fide residents Of the state.
The purpose of this law was
to a large extent, to create
work for residents of Ari-
zona. The extra money re-
ceived from the state high
way department in addition
to its regular budget was
voted with the idea of help
ing to relieve the unemploy-
ment situation. In other
words Arizona did what it
could to develop a program
of public work at time of
slack employment and busi-
ness.
The value of such a pro-
gram would be nullified if
unemployed of other states
were to be hired. The Star
pointed out at the time this
program was being consider
ed that it would be neces-
sary to do something more
than merely pass a law. 1t
would be necessary to en-
force it.
The fact that the highway
department is enforcing the
new law is commendable.
Once the contractors realize
that it will be diligently en-
forced they will take care to
see that Arizona public work
goes to Arizona workmen.

CITY OF UR EXISTED
IN THE CREEK ERA

Historically important tab
lets, one of which provides
the first evidence that the
ancient city of Ur of the
Chaldees was inhabited as
late as 324 B. C. in the reign
of Alexander the Great, have
been unearthed by the joint
archaeological expedition of
the University of Pennslyva-
mia museum and the British
museum.
Announcement of the dis
overy of the tablets was
made by Horace H. F. Jayne,
director Of the university
museum, following receipt
of a report describing the
find from the expedition.
During the past few
months we have been exca-
waiting the residential section
of the town belonging to the
patriarchal age, from 1000
to 1000 B. c." C. Leonard
Woolley, field director of
the expedition, said in his re-
port.
"Above the residential
quarter we have encounter
ed only a few dis-jointed
fragments of walls of a later
date. At the lower level we
found mud brick buildings
lying some 10 feet above the
level of the we'll preserved
houses of the Abrahamie
period and separated from
them by a stratum contain
ing burnt brick walls of
about 400 B. C.
INSCRIBED tablets found
in the ruins afforded accu-
rate dating evidence. The
houses were occupied, one
tablet showed, down to the
18th year of Alexander the
Great. This is the first real
evidence that proves that Ur

What IS THE MATTER
With COPPER mining
By Geo. w. P. Hunt, Gov
ernor Of Arizona)

There is something the
matter with the copper min
ing industry of this country.
To most any one who lives in
Arizona that is obvious.
Once thriving communities
are fast becoming ghost
towns and the commerce that
yesteryear crowded the rails
and highways is no more.
The production of copper
is our largest industry. 1t
employs more men than any
other and presents half of
the states property values.
1t pays nearly half of the
states taxes.
A little more than a year
ago copper was selling on
our domestic markets at 18
cents a pound. Today all it
will bring is about 8 or 9
cents a pound.
Copper mining in this
country is in a precarious
condition.
Within recent years great
deposits of rich copper ores
have been uncovered in
equatorial Africa, Chill,
Mexico, Canada and other
foreign lands. In most in
stances these ores lie on or
The Coolidge examiner., 1931-06-05

near the surface of the
earth's surface and may be
easily mined. Labor is also
much cheaper than it is
here. In Congo, the black
natives obtains less for his
days work than the negro
slave of the old south. In
the Andes, the native Indian
fares about as poorly as the
African worker. With richer
ore, easier mining and
cheaper labor, the Congo
mlne-oWner can deliver a
pound of copper at New
York for six cents less. In
absence of any import duty,
that copper is permitted to
enter this country duty free,
and undersell American
copper that cannot be de-
livered at New York for less
than II cents a pound. Who
will buy American copper
at II cents when copper
from abroad can be had for
six cents.
Were it simply a matter of
Warding off foreign compe-
tition, the situation would
not be so bad. Another
difficulty arises in American
Investments in foreign
mines. Fortunes made in the
hills of Arizona and other
copper mining states of this
country have been invested
IN mining property in Africa
and other countries to such
an extent that it has become
profitable to those investors
to curtail production in the
United States so that great
er profits may be made in
the foreign metal.
This curtailing has been
going on until the present
day sees domestic copper
mining two-thirds stagnant.
Many mines have ceased
production altogether.
Much these days is heard
about copper surplus. There
are, generally speaking, two
kinds of surpluses: Surplus
production and stored sur
plus. Our copper surplus
production is the amount of
metal mined over and above
that demanded by the manu-
tacturers of this country.
Stored surplus is the amount
OF metal on hand in this
country from all sources.

FLYING SNAKE DE-
SCR|BEDBYCURATOR

Snakes that fly, fish that
climb trees and snakes more
deadly than the cobra were
described by DR.. Raymond
l.. Ditmars, curator of rep
tiles and mammals at the
New Yok City geological
gardens during a luncheon
Flying snakes, they sail
through the air by flattening
themselves as they "hop-off''
are found in the jungles
of Borneo and Java, DR.. Dit
mars related. Because OF
their flying ability they are
almost immune from cap
ture. DR.. Ditmars declared
that he did not know of these
snakes ever having been
captured.
In describing their flight
DR.. Ditmars said they coast
through the air in a great
arc.
Deadlier Than Cobra
A snake so times more
deadly than the cobra was
discussed by the New York
er. "The Tiger snake found
in Australia is the most poi
sonous snake in the world,
DR.. Ditmars said. "This has
been proved by tests. Taker
drop for drop the venom is
SO times more powerful thar
that of the cobra. Fortu-
nately the tiger snake is not
aggressive and delivers its
poison in relatively small
doses.
The second most poison
Gus snake S the tree viper
found only on a little island
off the coast of Santos, Bra
zil, DR.. Ditmars said.
Feeds On Birds
This snake depends upon
birds for food. Nature has
provided it with a deadly
poison-poison that kills in
stantly. Otherwise the bird
although fatally wounded,
would fly away to die.
The most expensive zoolo-
gical specimen, DR.. Ditmars
said, was the rhinoceros.
Under the present market
prices a rhinoceros would
cost about $1,000, he said.
DR.. Ditmars has an ambi-
ton. He said. "Pve always
felt that | wanted to own a
rattlesnake ledge so that
could feel | was kind of
mothering the whole gang
of rattlesnakes and helping
them along a bit"
Climbing fish found in
Malaysia, have spurs on un-
der part of their body and
actually climb trees, DR.. Dit
mars said.-Ex.
