COPPER MINES
TOCL0SE DOWN
Tremendous 0verproductiOn The
Cause Of Acti0n--l Smelt-
ers Not Be Affected.
STOCK PRICES FALL HEAVILY.

A. crisis in the copper situation,
due to a deadlock between the pro-
ducer and the consumer has resulted
in tremendous over-production of
the metal and the Amalgamated Cop
per Company, the largest producer of
copper in this country, will soon shut
down it's mines in and about Butte,
Mont.
News of the intended suspension
of operations there was made known
in New York yesterday by an inter
est closely identified with the COM
pany. Amalgamated stock fell over
four points in the Stock Exchange
when the news became known, and
the shares of the company sold down
to S60.25, which is sixty-one points
under the high record price OF the
year.
Local Plant Not Affected.
When askel this morning whether
the shutting down of the Amalga-
mated mines would affect the Rari-
tan Copper Works in this city, Super
intendent A. C. Clark said that he
did not anticipate any curtailment of
work here. He stated that the Anal
gamated is only one of the sources of
the local plants copper, and that
there is. in addition, large qu9rtity
on hand, which will keep the ent re
force busy until the present slump is
over.
1t is said that the suspension at the
Butte mines will throw 5000 men out
of work. The Amalgamated Company
has had difficulties in obtaining ade-
uuate supplies of fuel at Butte, and this
fe. IL Iaa afrs1a i1cr fry
the shutdown.
The Anna lgamated Copper Company.
along with other copper companies, has
been piling up a large surplus of copper
for several months. and it is authorita-
lively stated that there is a surplus of
25O, 100000 pounds of refined copper in
the United States, a large quantity of
which is at the smelters in Perth Am
boy.
Question of Price.
The present situation has developed
from the seeming inability of the pro-
dueer and consumer to reach a price for
the metal that would prove satisfac-
tory. The selling price has been stead
lily reduced in the copper markets of
the world but the consumer has stead
fastly declined to purchase except when
for copper has been lowered from "a
cents to Is cents a pound by the United
Metals Selling Company.
Falling on In Refining.
The production of refined copper il
! September, it was stated today. will bt
/ 5000, 900 pounds less than last month
\ There were reports in the financial dis
/ trict yesterday that certain banks have
declined to carry any more copper
metal in their loans.
! How long it will take to dispose oi
this vast surplusage of copper is prob
lematical and cannot be determined un-
til price for the metal has been reach
ed, which will cause heavy buying.

Wonderful Tunnel DRIVING

A machine that will bore is
way through hard rock at the
rate of % to $50 feet per day,
and leave a hole eight feet in
diameter, a machine that is opcr-
ated by one man and that reduces
the cost Of driving mining ,ul-
nels so to rs per cent, is the claim
made by the patentee Of a tuu-
nelling machine now on oxhibi-
ton in Boise, Idaho.
The whole machine crawls
along in its own tunnel, like a
mole, revolving and cutting its
way as fast as the nature of the
rock will permit.
One Of these machines will be
given a trial in New Mexico by
mining men shortly. 1t is ex-
pected that it will revolutionize
mine tunnelling.
