JOHN D. RYAN TALKS
OF CONDITIONS IN WEST
(PoIIock Private Viz

New York, Aug. 5.-John d. Ryan,
president of the Amalgamated Copper
company, who has been on a western trip
Tor the last few weeks, returned to New
York Saturday Mr.. Ryan spent most of
mis- time in Butte, and while there made
a thorough inspection of all the Amalga-
mated properties. When seen YESTERDAY
he expressed great confidence in the fu-
ture of Butte mines and the belief that
they would lead in copper production for
many years to come.
A feature of the DEVELOPMENT work
which he believes viii have a most ia
yorable bearing upon earnings of Anal
gamated properties in the future is the
gradual substitution of electricity for
steam at the mines. This has been made
possible as the result of development of
water power facilities When electricity
is placed in general use throughout the
mines, Mr. Ryan estimates that the cost
of copper production will be reduced fully
one-third Of a cent per pound. On his
return trip Mr.. Ryan also visited the Lake
Superior district where he found the de-
velOpment work in the copper properties
being rapidly pushed. with general con-
ditiOns wholly satisfactory.
His observations made of general indus
trial conditions in the west increased his
confidence, he said, in the general bust
ness outlook. He heard, he said. only the
most favorable reports of progress of
crops AS TO the copper metal market
Mr.. Ryan said that he has not yet had
time to get close in touch with the local
situation. but believed that underlying
conditions were sound and looked for a big
revival in the copper trade before long
