READY TO REPORT.
Believed Fair site Committee Will
Recommend Ten Brock.

Recommend Ten BrOeck.
The Site Committee Of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Savannah Fair Association
is ready to report. Notice to that effect
was sent yesterday by Mr.. j. W. Jack
son. chairman, to President George w.
Owens, and the latter will call a meeting
of the directors at once.
A meeting of the committee was held
during the day, and an agreement was
reached. 1t was decided, Mr.. jackson said
to report to the board and recommend
the selection of one of the several tracts
offered to the committee, provided as
owners would agree to a proposition made
by the committee. Mr.. jackson believes
that the owners will so agree, and he
personally regards the question of a site
for the State Fair as settled
The committee entered very carefully
into the consideration of all the questions
hearing upon the selection of a suitable
site, and its judgment will be given the
board after mature deliberation. Mr..
jackson is convinced that the selection
made and the recommendation that is to
go to the board to be the very best that
could have followed the committees
work, which has been long and laborious
Mr.. Jackson would NOT intimate what
site would be recommended, believing that
courtesy to the board demands that the
information be withheld until the meet
Ing of that body. Nor would he say what
proposition had been made the owners Of
the site The proposition submitted to
the committee by them had not been en-
tirely satisfactory. and one that would
suit the committee was submitted in re-
turn.
Though Mr.. Jackson would not soy so,
1t is believed that the recommendation

ical Association of Georgia, and the Sa-

MONDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1901.

Only the friends of Mr.. Daily and those
who believe his achievements in the in
dustrial world deserve recognition are
relied upon to contribute to his monu-
ment. Twenty years of his life were de-
voted to the upbuilding of the state, and
still he was not permitted to carry out
alone he had conflded his intention to
do something for the helpless as we'll
es the active. Among other benefactions
he contemplated was the building of an
orphans home in Montana, where chill
dren bereft of parental influence and
support might be raised and educated
in comfort and safety His illness in
terrupted consideration of the plan, but
as he had no idea that death was near
ne told his friends he would take up the
matter as soon as he should sufficiently
recover. From that time on. however,
he grew rapidly worse. and his medical
attendants forbade his discussing that
or any other project calling for mental
effort. A few men have marveled that
a man known to be as generous as Mr..
Daily was should die without making
provision for some great public charity,
but when the details of his illness shall
be told. the injustice of such criticism
will be apparent to all.

Commenting upon the copper situa-
ton, John Stanton. statfsticfan for the
producing copper mines Of the unite1
States, has interesting views. Regard
ing the conclusions Of those not M
formed upon the actual situation, he says
considerable misrepresentation prevails.
Touching events in the metal market
during the past year and the present
outlook. he has the following to say'i,
1t seems to me that the copper situa-
ton is not understood; our production
is no larger than last year. the increase
from new mines being Offset by q de-
crease in the production Of several Of the
older mines.
The production in 1900 was about 6Oc.-
900 900 pounds. and the consumption was
100000 pounds. by the United States
official figures. An loft year. was 1900 on
account of the presidential election, and
trade was not up to the usual standard.
The consumption in 1901 will undo,f5t-
eddy be the largest on record, probably
20 per cent larger than in 1900. which
would make it 25.0O0,0 900 pounds. q
The exports to the end Of October foot
up 10000 gross TONS and the total ex-
ports IOr 1SV1 VIII not Dc ldE 1IOIl SS,VVV
gross tons. or POS O0O. 900 pounds The fig
ures are as follows:
Pounds.
United States production in
1901, say .6O3 O0O, 900
United States consumption in
1901, say ....... .............. 42o 600, 900
United States exports in 1901,
say ........ .......... ........ EOS. DOC. 600
Whatever weak stocks may exist here
arise mainly from the shifting Of stocks
from Europe to the United States and
the dimfnution OF consumption In Europe,
chiefly in Germany. which has been in
the throes Of financial panic, but this
condition will pass away sooner or later,
and as Europe is bare of stock, large
supplies will then be needed, and the
equilibrium will be restored.
The control Of the copper market has
passed to this country, and the price of
the metal will in future be fixed here,
but as Europe needs large quantities of
our copper it is natural that she will try
to buy as cheaply as possible.
This cheering view of the stock mar
ket by an authority familiar with every
phase of the copper production ought to
sweep away misgivings concerning the
industry's future. In the brief summing
up of Mr.. Stanton there is contained
enough information to set at rest the
false alarms concerning copper produc-
ton and the state of the metal market.

The men who own Buttes new theater
would do the public a distinct service if
they would completely remodel the in
terror of the structure. In not one re-
spect is the interior UP to date. The
entire plan is based on laundering mis-
conception of public requirements. The
place is too big, it's acoustic properties
are wretchedly deficient, the slope of
the floor is too gradual and the arrange
ment of the seats execrable. The in
terror of theater should be so con-
structed that the auditors have an I'M
interrupted view Of the stage and OF
other parts Of the house, and that they
are secure from drafts and other in.
conveniences. The new theater, how
ever lacks every comfort and looks
more like barn than a place of amuse-
ment. This is no fault of the manager,
who is naturally the chief loser from
the public dissatisfaction. The archi-
tects or the men who prepared the plans
are most to blame. The place will never
be popular until radical changes shall
be made and vhe whole interior remodeled
on the plan approved and carried oul
in other cities.
