WALKER REVIEWS THE
RED METAL SITUATION

Copper is stronger and much more ac-
tive, Lake is l2l TO 12G cents and cleo
trolytlc is i2i to 122 cents n pound. Sales
Of electrolytic were made a week ago at
about l2e cents. IL seems that n great
many consumers have been waiting to
buy copper at around IL cents. and when
they found tina. only little could be OBJ
tained at from l2s TO Ia. II caused them
considerable anxiety and started them on
hunt for cheap copper. Prices quick
ly advanced on this demand 10 12g cents,
to which price the Amalgamated agency
finally reduced its offer, and very large
sales have been made.
The real reason for the stronger tone
of the metal market is found in the at
titude Of the Amalgamated interests.
For many months past this companys
agency. which markets 35O, 1000 pounds
or more annually, has refused 10 sell any
electroytic at a lower price than l2t
cents. Meanwhile other producing and
selling interests have been supplying the
current demand at from l2g down to l2l
cents Consumers have bought only from
hand to mouth. expecting further de-
cline 1t finally developed. however, that
with the amount Amalgamated produces
and controls withheld from the market
there was not sufficient coming from 9TH
er sources 10 supply the current demand,
When the crisis was reached the Anal
gamated producers met the consumers
halfway. reduced their price to 12S cents
and made very large sales of copper.
The metal situation is in a very much
more healthy condition than 1t appears
no supplies, and until the past week have
bought very little for future delivery
Foreign consumption is exceedingly
heavy, and in this country the copper
business is better than almost any other

To be operating to about 90 per cent of

tions that the world is consuming more
copper than II is producing and that IL
has been doing this for approximately a
year past.

ment of the supreme court decisions on
the big trust cases. If these decisions
are interpreted as favorable. business eX-

Will lead to a very greatly increased con-
sumption of copper.
1t Is reported that speculative interests
are prepared TO buy approximately 200,

these reports are true. II is hardly prob |

velopments. I think the price OF the |

ANOTHER STRIKE MADE
IN THE HOWELL MINE

Superintendent w. T.. Harwood, who
has just come down from the Howell
mine, tells of a new strike in that prop
erty as follows.
During the past week. at n point 325
feet south of the shaft, we broke into a
Iull face OF ore. This Is on the main
hssure. which trayerses the property for
distance OF over 5000 feet. We have
not yet received assay returns, but the
ore is principally n galena.
Development work has been pushed
all winter. and at the present time we
nave drifted on our north ore body for
one hundred and fifty feet. with ore still
In the breast. Owing to the fact that we
already have enough ore blocked in the
north workings To commence regular
shipments, we viii not start to stope the
new ore body. but will continue on to
the contact, AS soon as the roads are
In good shape up South Fork VIC win
resume shipping. and put a large force OF
men TO work"
