FAST WORK ON THE
 BIG FAIR BUILDINGS

SEATTLE, Wash, March 31-Twen- ty-one hundred men are hard at work putting the finishing touches on the buildings and grounds of the Alaska Yukon-Paeifc Exposition. Of this number 45O are engaged on the group of buildings under construction by the United States Government and the 'e- mainder upon such of the state build ings as are now finished and upon the elaborate scheme of landscape garden ing which is now down to its last de tails.
 Another regiment of workers is busy inside the exposition structures in stalling exhibits from every country under the sun. The Alaska exhibit will have been fully placed by April l5. The Alaska and Philippines build ings were the first completed by the government and an excellent idea of the marvellous exhibit of the North land is already to be had. The Philip pine exhibit is not yet in the city, but is close to the port on two government transports.
 The Hawaiian building is complete, save some of its ornamentatiOns of plaster staff and May 1st will see the exhibit in place with the exception of the pineapple fields, which will not be planted until the eleventh hour. The government aquarium is another on the completed list, its interior is rapidly being made ready for its ex- hibit of live food fishes.
 Nearly all of the staff work remains to be done upon the central govern ment building, but as all of the neavy construction is done and the staff goes on quickly, under skilled hands, every thing will have been finished by the middle of April The exhibits VII Nbe ready for installation at that time as they are now enroute from the na- tional capital.

CURTA|[|NG COPPER PRODUCTION
 NUT EASY
Some Companies Making Copper at
 Ten Cents

BOSTON, April 9.-(speeial.) Tn, president of one of the largest copper producing mining camps in the coun try in speaking of the proposed re strietion of copper expressed the opip' ion that it was practically impossible to do so. He says:
 My company may make copper at a cost of 9 cents per pound, and VIC have expended an enormous sum of money for the latest machinery and mining apparatus, as well as in erea- +ion of- many miles of underground openings, in order to put our mine and plant in shape to produce copper at a profit even should the price go 10 10 cents per pound.
 "It certainly would be absurd to Ge- mand that we shorten our output, and our profits, inorder to help out the less favored mine which has only recently appeared on the scene and which can not make its copper for less than II 10 12 cents per pound.
 "lt is 10 cope successfully with just such emergencies as the present, that we have during the past ten years labored day and night to put our prop erty in shape to make copper more eheaply than can our competitors. Now these competitors are crying 'eurtail- ment' and ask us to join scheme which will help them out of pretty serious predieament. The proposition is absurd.
 "In a situation like the present it is the survival of the Attest The mine which cannot make copper and get out whole on the present selling price must be the first to shut down. When the unproftably produced metal is kept from the market, then we may look for some improvement in the sta tistiesl position of copper"
 Another wellinformed copper inter est says: "Coneerted action in re- speet 10 restriction of output is ab- solutely impossible; it may be at once dismissed from serious consideration. The high cost producer must be the first 10 shut down. This means a dis integation of working forces, and is, in itself, a very expensive operation but it offers the only logical solution of the present situation. Even m likeness mines surface plant must be kept in repair, pumping must con time and the shafts. drifts and lev els must be maintained to proven cay ing. and in addition 10 this, fixed charges. of course. such as salaries, taxes. etc. are constantly going on.
 "If all the Amalgamated mines in Butte should close dOwn-and l may add that there is not the slightest pes sibility of any shut down or any oth- CT restriction in the Butte eamp-it would cost the properties in that dis trict not less than $3OO,OOO per month for the upkeep of the openings and the proper maintenance of plant"

MAD RUSH U SCENE IF
 STRIKE
PAYSTREAK FROM ONE INCH TO FOUR INCHES THICK, OUT CHASING PREVIOUS
 DISCOVERIES
Special to the Journal-Minsr.

SALOME, March l-Excitement is at fever neat tonight over the devel opments at the new strike on the Northern Arizona mine, from which sl0,000 in gold was taken today, clean ing out one shot. The mad rush of gold sekers to the new find continues Miners who saw the shot that uneov- cred the golden treasure in the "glo- " hold" today assert that it has been truly named the richest gold find ever made on this planet.
 Men who have followed up every rich strike made in the Rocky Noun tains for the last quarter of century say that the richness of this find ex- ceeds that of any ever seen. They are unanimous in claiming that the richest finds ever uncovered in Colo rado or Nevada pale into insignif- canoe when compared with it.
 Boulders weighing hundreds of pounds, from one-quarter to one-third gold, were taken from the hole today after the shot was fired to loosen the ground. The bonanza rock was still iI place in the bottom after the loose rock and dirt was removed.
 Thousands of dollars worth of ore was dug out of the discovery last week, the rich paystreak varying from an inch to four inches in thickness. In some eases large boulders were taken out with rich streaks from an inch to three inches in thickness running through them. The rich streak was found running through the boulders when broken. The bonanza values oe- eur in hematite and quartz. The rock is carefully sorted and the richest sacked for shipment.
 The entire country extending miles in every direction from the Northern Arizona is located. Newcomers are begging for leases on any claim show ing value.
