THE ACTUAL SITUATION
OF COPPER

The copper industry. like the
rest of the country, has heen living
in fools paradise for the better par,
of two years, and finds it difficult
to accommodate itself again to nor.
NAL conditions Of existence.
When the value of stocks OF all
kinds rises to fictitious figures, the
value OF commodities not unreAson
ably follow suit. Men believed that
their paper wealth WAS real wealth.
and spent accordingly, giving to'
often, however, paper checks in ex-
change for what they bought. And
while this extr4vAxent expenditure
prevailed, to meet the demand for
the articles wanted and to realize
the extravavant prices paid for the
commodities, the manufactures
forced production to a degree in ex
cess of his xctual legitimate resourc
es and facilities. Whep the world
returned to its sober senses and re-
alized that things were not what
they seemed, instead OF soberly aud
reasonably reorganizing it's busi-
ness MS well AS its household ex.
penses, it suffered n violent r.a I'll IN
of remorse and fear and fell into n
panic for which thare WAS really no
good reason. This is eminently true
If copper trade. 1t has been pass.
ing through the same phases hrst
excessive elation, then morbid de-
pr.ssion, and now slow recovery
toward reasonnbl-hess. No sensi-
bile man believed copper To be
worth 25 cents or supposed that IL
would maintain that price; but the
price, under abnormal conditions,
kept soaring upward, to the loss Of
the producsr.sand tl,- mills mater-
i'll gain, ~ long "a the market con.
tinued steadily rising. Unfurtu-
uat..ly for the owners Of thu mills
they cid not realize the balloon
WAS leaking gas. and they did not
therefore stop buying soon enough
Nor did the producers know or ap.
preciate soon enough the extent to
which demand for the niauufsct.
u.ed article had beycn TO decline.
This really commen.r I'D in April
and became pronounced in May;
neverless, during the whole sum-
mer the mines and smelters con-
tinu-d pouring out their boom pro-
duction, with the result that the
bubble actually burst they found
themselves loaded with a lot Of
copper which it was inconveuient
to carry. Some companies closed
down their smelling works entirely
and devoted their feeble efforts I'M.
d-rxround to picking up develop
ment work, which in the stress OF
PRODUCTION had fallen woefully be-
nind Others were only too glad To
reduce production b.lsw the nor.
nal, and yiv. their ov-rworked staff
n breathing spell. But Others. es-
-
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1908-01-16

ptcialiy in operating very low-grad'
mines, have maintained their out
put and continue to employ theil
full force.
In Arizona none of the big min
es have been closed and but few o
the second and third class. In the
Warren district it WAS considered
by the Copper Queen and the Bon
nnza group good policy to reduce
production, and therefore the sm-l
ting works Of these two groups
which during the first three months
of the year sent into the market Al
600, 600 10. of copper bullion, dur.
ing the last tnree months sent into
the market only 26,50O,0OO 10 The
Clifton district, working on ore that
does not average over % percent
copper, and contains no gold and
silver, and where therefore admin
'strstion expenses form large pro-
portion OF the cost, have MT reduc
I'd their production or abated taeir
xctivity.
The Old Dominion furnaces haye
turned out during the past year
approximately the same amount of
copper rs in the previous year, and
there is no apprehension OF ~ ser
ious falling off during the year
lyUS. But forecasts are doubtful. rs
~ many unforeseen contingencies
aris.. disturbing the most cautious
calculations. In the southwest the
most regrettabie incident OF the re-
cent depression has been the clos
ing OF the Humbolt smelter, on
which the many small mines around
Prescott have been depending for
tseatment Of their ore. 1t is to b-
bped that the embarrassment Of
tl.e company will soon be relieved.
EHst,.n works hav run very ser
ious risk, and inevitably do 81 when
the market has been as unstable as
Of late. They must pay small Gus
TONERS cash for their ores. and yet
cannct realize the copper for mp
proximstely thu three months dur
ing which the bullion is being
transported to the East and refined
electrolyticxlly. Upon rising mar.
ket they gain. and ARE liable then
to reduce their smelling charges
with a view Of increased business
or put their gains into enlarged
works for increased capacity.
When. therefore, they come &
lose heavily ON a falling market
especially when these is such con-
pl-te paralysis of trade as happen
ed during the past summer, they
are liable to become seriously em.

PUT GREAT FAITH IN GINSENG
Chinese Willing to Pay Fabulous

Frederick D. Cloud. student inter.

lieve that when all other remedies fail
and death Is at hand, ginseng has the
power to bring back health and lon
gevity; hence. when they feel the
need of 1t they will pay fabulous
prices for certain kinds of roots. A
root to be really valuable as a com
modify must come from the mountains
OF Kirin or be reputed to have come
from there. 1t must be bifurcated, so
as to resemble as much as possible
the human form, and be semitranspar-
ent, dry and fiinty.
of course, the larger the root the
better and as it is sold by weight 1t
Is not very uncommon for a good
specimen to bring as much as 800

is In its shape, its texture, the manner
In which it has been cured and the
region whence 1t came.
But 1t must be borne In mind that,
out of A-4reat quantity of roots, only

KICKS CARRIED HONORS AWAY
Won Debate and Story Contest
From Fielding Academy
Z at Paris.

For Soma time past the Fielding
Academy has been attracting consider
able attention by the hurry and hustle
OF some Of her prominent students.
You could tell by the deep lines that
furrowed their brows that they had
something serious ON their minds.
When 1t was learned that the cause of
their seriousness was the coming con-
test between them aud the Kicks
Academy OF Rexburg it was felt that
they had something to feel serious over.
Stil Paris people felt sure the Fielding
would succeed in winning either the
debate or the story contest. But when
II was reported Friday evening, three
of the Fielding faculty had been seen
ging south with their oyercoats on
their arms, 1t was evident that the Zig
was mp Twas a bad omen that BODIED
no good for the contestants. OF course
we are not superstitous, but when you
see three professors from one schuul
) going south on Friday some great EVIL
will be the result. 1t is even more
serious than having a black cat cross
the road in front or you ON a dark night.
Well to make long stePy. short, the
contestants met in the second ward hall
Saturday night when "A crowded house
greeted them. After the regular open
ing exercises the story contest was
opened by Miss Stella Pugmire, who
told very pretty original story in snch
pleasant manner that the entire
andience was captivated. She was fol.
lowed by Miss Elizabeth Sport of Rex
burg who had very beautiful story
which was delivered very ably. The
Fielding represented by Miss Pngmire
scored 2;s points while the Kicks
Academy scored 279 thus the Fielding
lost by one point, twas not bad when
you take into consideration that Stella
was only little girl taking the second
year high school while her opponent
was taking the fourth year
The debate was opened by Mr.. Dan
Rich of the Fielding, followed by Mr.
Ray Wilson of the Kicks. Then Mis-.
Welker of the Fielding followed by
Miss Annie Sport of the Kicks. d. c
knnz made very able argument il
behalf of the Fielding. but the surpris,
of the evening came when Miss Yer,
Kerr took the floor In behalf of tn,
Kicks. The audience had watched he
from the time we had entered the hous
and as she was only large enough /,
chin the table. behind which she wa
