JUNE's PRODUCTION
Largest in the History of American
s4A Copper Mines. >,Na@ aE.

copper MINES. .aas 1.s
HOUGHTON, MICH.-The June production
OF refined copper was the largest in the his
tory Of the American mines, and the lake
producers assisted in the increase. The local
mines are now turning out the largest pro-
duction in the history of the district, and
with the opening of four more new mills
before the close of the year, the output Will
be further stimulated. F.. ..s.H.a.-s.'. q.
John ]. Case, superintendent OF the Lake
Superior Smelling company, has returned
from Montana and states that the new
Washee smelter Of the Anaconda company is
q success, and that the stories to the effect
that the new smelter q fiat failure are
fabrications. These stores have been In con-
slant circulation and have been elaborated
with great wealth Of detail. ~
The Rock Lake mine, in the western On
tario copper district, lying southeast OF the
outlet of Lake Superior, is employing an
average of 125 men, and is producing copper,
though handicapped by the lack Of smelter
within convenient distance. The Bruce
mines, not far distant, are not producing,
because of lack of smelling facilities, and the
cost Of transportation to the nearest avail
able smelters is so great that 1t IS dif11cut to
make copper at a profit.
The unwaterng of the old Allouez mine
has been completed and the management is
now considering the advisabilty Of attempt
ing to work the mine again. Upwards OF q
million and a half dollars have been ex-
pended there without earning penny Tor
shareholders, though the mine has paid
profits to tributors at various times, but
tributors are merely robbers who loot mine
as expeditously and thoroughly as possible.
d Runors at the lake that Mass and Adyen-
ture are likely to levy further assessments
are met with spirited denials from the east
The truth seems to be that both mines are
so situated they can dispense with further
assessments, if necessary, but could use ad-
ditional sums to excellent advantage IN ex-
tending underground openings

GOOD LUMBER SEASON
Laird Is Pleased with It-Chippew,
River Conditions.

WINONA, MINN.-William H. Laird Of the
Laird Norton company of this city. expresi-
dentgef the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's s.
association, expresses himself as well pleased
with the lumber situation. Prices, he says,
are frm and good, but as compared with the
prices of logs they are not high. Log prices
are higher in proportion. White pine is get
ting scarcer and more valuable year by year.
Mr. Laird predicts steady run of the
sawmils in this city and generally along
this section of the river for the rest of the
season The season at West Newton, Mr..
Laird says, has been very satisfactory. Since
the recent reopening of the works RATS have
been turned out steadily, and the present
expectation is that the boom will be kept in
operation for at least a week or two longer.
Up to date 15O,000,OO0 feet Of logs have been
rafted through these works this year, about
double the total output of a year ago.
When asked as to how much longer log
ging on the Chippewa would continue, Mr..
Laird said It was somewhat difficult to tell.
Logs would probably be brought down the
Chippewa for Mississippi rafting for several
years yet, but the supply of pine along this
river and its tributaries was becoming scarce.
When 1t became 80 scanty that it, would not
pay to bring 1t down to the Mississippi, he
thought there would tstill be mills along the
Chippewa that would continue to cut for some
years. 1t was only for the Mississippi mills
that the Chippewa supply Of logs was near
ing an end ...
Mr.. Laird reports good business by the
numbering firms in northern Minnesota in
which members of the Laird Norton COM
pany are interested, particularly the, plants

Falls, and the Northern Lumber company
