Several months ago The Tribune had

attitude of the general land department
being revolutionary and practically pro-
hibitive, and among the cases reviewed
was that OF the East Tintic Consolidated

case the following rule OF the department

both at home and in New York failed
to bring out anything OF a definite nature
In regard to this. The operation Of the

committee which Is supposed to repre-

watched closely, and there are some who
believe that the success OF this commit
toe will determine like action on the part
OF shareholders Of tho Ohio Copper com

Protective committees are becoming
quite popular among the minority share

Inquiry among some OF the Salt Lakers

Rule Is Not Right.

Most modern nations offer liberal re-
ward 10 the discoverer of new deposits
OF valuable ores. The United States has
tries in its mineral industry and in ma
terial prosperity largely because OF Its
liberal policy for the disposal Of its min
eral and agricultural lands. ANY future
legislation or new Interpretation of
present statutes which has tendency to
curtaii opportunity or lessen the reward
for honest labor and enterprise is not
likely to result In the spread of pros
perity or the settlement OF untenanted
regions. nor will Il be received with ap-
proval by the public at large.
Here is another illustration OF the
crying need for rational revision Of our
mining laws If the discovery provision
were eliminated entirely and pros
pector were permitted to stake his claim
and hold IL so long as he performed Il
reasonable amount Of real development
work, most OF this particular variety of
trouble and expense would be obviated. -

COPPER GOES UP
ONE MORE POINT
Electrolytic Copper on Tues
day Hits Seventeen and
Five-eighths Cents.
END is NOT YET NEAR
Consumer Assumes the Bur
den of Situation With Flu
ture Still Added.
END is NOT YET NEAR

EIectrolytic copper on Tuesday, was
hoisted another notch. closing the day at
17ac per pound. the top point Of the exist
Ing movement. Despite the anticipated
curtailment Of consumption so many pre-
dicted with higher copper prices, the de-
mand for the red metal seems increasing
proof OF which was had most eloquently
in the May report OF the American Cop
per Producers association. and there arc
a number OF factors involved In the cop
per situation that promise even higher
prices Immediately.
Some New Factors.
It has been thought all along. for in
stance. that the new producers would af-
ford a balance with their new output Of
the metal, and the effect OF this is ey-
pectcd now before the end Of the sum-
mer in many circles. But there has been
@ possibility recently disclosed of n labor
dispute at Butte over the wage scale, and
while this matter may be adjusted amic-
ably and satisfactory to both the miner
and the mine owner, the possibility or
trouble at Butte has sentimental erect
upon the market just the same.
The upward march OF copper metal
throughout the year has been one OF the
most striking features OF the metal mar
ket. From an average Of 1875 cents
per pound in 1911, electrolytlc copper IN
January. 1912. averaged .14..O94 cents per
pound, 14OS4 cents In February, 1883
cents In March; 1874 cents in April and
16.o3l cents in May. The present month"; s
average should not be far from 17a cents
per pound, which will give an average
price Of 15.35S cents per pound for the
first half of the current year.
Consumers Worrying.
These certainly are happy times for
the producer. Visible copper stocks both
at home and abroad are 30 very limited
as to preclude the possibility OF any dras-
tic declines, while the uncertainties from
the standpoint OF the consumer made
the consumer occupy a decidedly uncom-
Portable position at present. The burden
has been shifted from the shoulders OF
the producer. in other words, where 1t
has rested for so long time. to the ten
de- shoulders OF the consumer, and the
end does not appear to be in sight Yet.
The foreign stocks OF copper during
the first two weeks Of June were reduced
still more, and on June / the world s
visible stocks Of copper measured only
149,559,963 pounds. against 32S,649,052
pounds on June 1, 1911, and 4O1,249, ,6s7
pounds on June l, 1910.
