ISLE RoYALE.

The lower drifts south of Isle Royale
shaft No are now being extended
directly under the abandoned workings
of the old Huron, which also operat-
ed the Isle Royale vein. These drifts
will be continued with the ultimate
purpose Of establishing connections
with No. 4 shaft.
The result secured the past few
months from the Isle Royale vein

opinion that IL opened and operated
on broad scale creditable profits
would be assured. The Isle Royale Is
today showing about as good a copper
recovery per ton Of rock stamped as

success Of the latter is due, i'm a mea-

in full operation and the smelter will
have ample capacity TO handle the re-
sulting concentrates which should give
an annual output well in excess of S0,-

COPPER REPORT IS
SUBJECT OF STUDY
Consumption Shows Very Good
Increase in Spite of Ad-
verse Factors.

An analysis OF the Copper Producers
association statistics for the month o.
August discloses q very significant in
crease in the deliveries OF the metal for
domestic consumption. and Il those pro-
fessing TO be disappointed over the small
decrease in the surplus would pause to
consider how many powerful arguments
there are TO discourage this home con-
sumption OF the metal. the figures would
appear far more satisfactory than they
have been TO many on first glance.
-cl IotS' deliveries In August were 129.-
o63sOol pounds, OF which 67,T3i .27l pounds
were for domestic circles With the cx-
ccption OF April last this is the largest
amount since January. and shows with
out question what could be expected were
general industrial conditions sufficiently
improved AS 10 restore the business con-
ildcncc so lacking at the present time.
One feature of the report was its
failure TO record the large sales of the
metal which the east has been report
Ing during the month OF August. East
ern circles have been talking OF sales for
over 200, 600, 600 pounds of the metal with
in a period OF TWO weeks in August. 1t
would be interesting to listen TO an eX-
PLANTATION OF the discrepancy.
Copper exports for the week ending
September amounted To- 42I7 tons, an
increase OF 1863 tons over the same
period of 1909. For this month to date
the exports are 1913 tons, an increase
OF l246 tons, and for the year to date
lS3,6I9 tons. decrease OF 26. 103 tons.

Recommendation as to Copper
Smelters and Phosphate Not
Well Received.
WEST CANNOT NOW
COMPETE WITH EAST
Demand for Fertilizer Centers
in East and Abroad, Not
in West.

Utah smelling circles were very much
interested In the following plank adopted
on Thursday al ST. Paul by the Conser-
walton congress-:
'Wc urge Immediate investigation by
the federal government OF the damage
done by the smelling OF copper ores and
the feasibility OF so Improving methods
as TO utilize the injurious by-products g
ers"
Several prominent smelling engineers
OF Salt Lake have rather pronounced
ideas in regard TO this phase Of the in
dusiry, and some emphasized anew that
1t is TO large extent the environment
OF a smelling plant that determines the
utility or uselcssness OF the by-products
OF the works. One engineer said TO The
Tribune yesterday.
The conditions in this part of the
country now are such as to render the
Utilization of copper smelling fumes as
recommended In the paragraph adopted
at ST. Paul commercially impracticablc.
nor is there any other known method OF
at this time. The government
can aid very materially in bringing about
a solution To the problem by rendering
sane assistance.
The withdrawal from entry of the
great phosphate lands of Utah. Idaho
and Wyoming is not conducive to the
OF any commercial scheme of
making Phosphate fertilizers. The mar
tet for these fertilizers is largely in the
eastern part OF this country and in for
elgn countries. where large tonnages are
manufactured. with which the intermoun-
tam country cannot compete AS a rule
40 intermountain farmer realizes the re-
:essity OF this material, for the western
demand is insignificant.
Il believe that more consistent efforts
on the part Of the government, to help
he agriculturist to better knowledge
II plant life and plant diseases would 10
is much, If not more. than any equal er-
ort TO control the smelter gases BY
public agitation the farmer has been led
o believe that all his troubles are due
o copper smelling, which, In many cases |
continue to exist after the removal from
ne community OF the noNlons gases"
