Richmond, which misses its old renown

as against the many other competing

INCREASED PRODUCTION.

The unexpected increase in copper
production during the month of DC
tober was due. it has been said, TO the
transferring of some of the accumula-
ted metal of the summer months to
the visible column, and there are sey
eral eastern authorities who believe
the same thing will be see in figures
to be released in a few days. The
so-ealled program of curtailment,
therefore has not had a chance TO
make itself felt as had beer expected.
The curtailment began the first of
last August, and the reported produc-
ton for August, September and DC
tober amounted to 373,792, $40
pounds. about 1000, 000 pounds
greater han when curtailment policy
was in operation. 1t is predicted, fur
Their, that the next few months will
show the effects of this curtailment.
This may be true, but to many the
eurtailment policy looks more like a
club to drive the u to the
metal market, and the reduction of
the surplus from July. when il
amounted to 1~70.641,67S pounds. to
October when il totaled 139,263,150
pounds, has been due to the deliveries
in this country and to the exports.
This cleaning up OF the invisible as
well as the visible supply, is no doubt
a good thing, in view of the fact that
the Miami company begins produc-
ton the first of the year, Ray Con-
solidated the first of February. the
Chino the first of July. and with the
Inspiration and others getting into
H. - l,.s.A III $1,000 - 80
But the unknown factor o bother
ing the investor is the amount of in
visible supply. this so-called accumu-
lation during the summer months.
But that there are optimists is evil
dent from the new copper letter of
George l.. Walker. which in part is as
follows
There were more or less catholics
left in the refineries at the beginning
of this month, which accumulated in
the excessively hot weather OF July
and August. These have been run
through the furnaces and will figure
in the November production state
ment. The amount was much less
than hat which went to swell the Dc
tober figures. | am of the impression
that production and imports declined
more than 10. 100000 pounds; that
domestic deliveries were very nearly
as large in November as in October,
and that the actual s%hrinkage in sur
plus to be shown by the forthcoming
ngures will exceed that of October.
Figures so far received show a de-
crease of 4.910,140 pounds in the
foreign visible supply during Novem-
Der; and exports according to metal
exchange records, We're 1850 tons. or
2,643,200 pounds greater than for

| say. let the legislature act, or else
hereafter forever let us hold our
peace. 1t is one of the functions Of
organized government to contest the
marriage relation in the best inter
ests of the people and the state. In
America this matter has-in my
judgment unwisely-been left TO the
control of the various states. As a
result. we have confusion heaped
upon confusion. What is perfectly
legal in one state is a crime ten feet
across an imaginary state line, so
that in n state a mar is a bigamist
having two wives, and in another
state he is a reputable citizen. But
that is another matter for the legis-
lator and the Judge.
The Pacific coast Is becoming the
dumping ground of India. as 1t was
in time past for China and Japan and
in time there will be matrimonial
alliances contracted between the
Hindu and the American. Do we
want such intermarriage? II not. let

FAMOUSLOST ART
NEVER EXISTED
EXPERIMENTS SHOW THAT
NATURE, NOT SCIENCE, WAS
USED BY AZTECS OF MEXICO
FOR TEMPERING COPPER.

That the famous lost art" of tenn
pering copper, said to have been pos
sessed by the Aztecs, Toltecs and
Tarascans in prehistoric days in this
country, never existed. is the claim
of several psychologists and ethnolo-
gists of this city, says the Mexican
Herald,
Experiments were made during
the past week showing that o. of
the many copper tools found in the
ruined cities and in the graves of
these dead cities ever were tempered.
Copper axes and knife blades found
at Atzcapotzalco were discovered to
be so soft that they could be cut
with a common pocket knife. On
the other hand, Tarascan copper
cutting implements from the Balsas
river ruins in Guerrero were so hard
that they would turn the edge of a
modern knife.
Comparative analyses, carefully
made. showed that the blades from
Atzcapotzalsco were of precisely the
same composition as the copper
found in the ore of the nearby hills.
Similar treatment showed that the
hard, apparently-tempered blades
from Guerrero were of precisely the
same composition as the copper in
the ore from their hills.
Then comparison of the two
classes of ores was made, also by n
alysis, and ii was shown that the ma
tural ore of the local hills was pure
and soft, while that from Guerrero
had been alloyed by nature with
nickel and cobalt. making it almost
as hard as steel in its natural on
dition.
Then across the minds of the
scientists flashed the answer TO the
alleged copper tempering of the
Mexican aborigines. In some sections
of Mexico, the copper was already
tempered for them; the cobalt and
the nickel fused with the copper,
when heated in their primitive furn-
aces, and the result was a grade of
alloy. which, when heated and sharp
ened, gave an edge which would cut
like steel. The Indians knew moth
ing of the art of tempering the metal
themselves, and could not have re-
moved the cobalt and the nickel
from their ores, even had they so
desired.
On the other hand. in other parts
of Mexico, where the copper occurred
practically pure, the implements
made from il were soft, and remain
so TO this day. proving d~ecisively
that the primitive Tubal Gains knew
not what ingredients TO put into
their axes and knives TO make hard,
The hard axe and knife would be, of
course. infinitely superior to the soft
and it is impossible of belief that the
Indians who built Militia and Palen-
of Americas Egypt did not know
this, and would not have hardened
their weapons TO a raZor's edge for
sharpness had they res able TO do

To Prevent Mine Explosions.

Professor Thomas c. Chamberlain
of the University of Chicago in a
magazine article just issued declares
that government experts made dis
coveries by which the danger of such
mine disasters as those at Cherry,
H., and in West Virginia can be
eliminated. He says the discoveries
have not been given publicity by the
federal bureau of mines. Professor
Chamberlain speaks of the discover
les as follows:
Spraying the tunnels and shafts
of mines with a douehe of shale dust
and water at frequent intervals will
not only make the coal dust and
walls almost proof against fire and
sudden explosion. but will prevent
the raise of much of the gas that
makes an explosion possible.
The danger from toe strong ven
tilation. which stirred up by the free
coal dust in the passages and aus
ed many explosions, is obyiated by
this method. The drying shale forms
a coating over the dust, and air cur
rents sufficient TO clear out any gas
SEES that may accumulate may be sent
through the mine without fear.
I'm this way, even if a local ex-
plosion is inevitable at times from
the sudden isse of gass, its general
spread through the mine Is made
much less probable. II not actually
impossible"

There is something peculiarly at
tractive about an old mining camp
that has produced its millions in the
past but which, owing to ~unfavor-
able circumstances. has fallen from
the limelight of publicity into the
shades of practical oblivion, says the
Salt Lake Mining Review.
Phoebe, Nevada, 1t one time one
of the greatest producers of high
grade silver ore in the west, has been
touchd with the magic wand of pros
perity, and with the dire hand of ad-
versity. Its struggles for many
years, to regain its lost prestige has
been heroic. and, although losing
out time after time, ii always came
back smiling and conndent. For
years a few firm believers in the al
most unparalleled mineral resources

of the camp have worked and strug-
gled to attract capital to the many
splendid opportunities offered and as
often as me effort has been made the
unforeseen has knocked the props out
from under them. Still. nothing
daunted, the fight has been renewed,
and now it seems almost a certainty
that this magnificent district will
soon come into its own again.
Some few weeks ago the Mining
Review made mention of the merger
of the Consolidated Phoebe with the
Nevada-Utah. with +. X. Woody as
the main man at the wheel. Since
then even greater things have trans
pissed, a greater consolidation has
been effected. which takes the great
Prince Consolidated into the Nevada
Utah household, a property given to
the mining world through the efforts
and faith of A. II. and E. l.. Godbe,
and Col. James l.. Hackett.
