cities which are earnestly attempting
TO abate the smoke ordinance not only
have a smoke ordinance but they have
thoroughly equipped laboratory and an
office force Of scientific and expert smoke

Birmingham with an acknowledged
drastic smoke ordinance and nothing
else, is attempting to do what other cities
are making slow progress in doing with
q lenient smoke ordinance, a laboratory
which costs probably thousands of dol
lars and expert smoke inspectors who
draw high salaries, in the opinion of many
Birmingham citizens. Absolute SMOKE
abatement is generally agreed to be inn
practical but some progress is being
made toward diminishing the nuisance to
u small extent in the cities which have
attacked the problem in seientisie and
accordingly rather expensive way,
This fact has been proven to a certain
degree by an article published in the
current issue of THE National Engineer"
a monthly magazine published at Chicago.

used in Cincinnati. O.. in abating the

smoke experts further than that they can
tell whether or DOT smoke is coming from
the stacks OF a factory Mr. Matthews de-
elined to give any information in this
regard. but City Commissioner james
Neatherly. father of the smoke ordinance.
Yesterday stated that both men We're re-
tired railroad engineers.
In Birmingham the law is made and the
manufacturer or industrial operator is
left to comply with it in the best way
possible. When one of the Birmingham
smoke inspectors sees smoke coming
from a stack at times forbidden by the
ordinance he has the authority to order
the arrest OF the offending manufacturer.
In Cincinnati when a violation Of the
smoke ordinance is discovered The viola
Tor is informed OF such and is offered
the services of the expert smoke inspec-
tors who with their apparatus MAKE
scientific investigation of his particular
case and offer him their conclusions
gratis. While the amended smoke ordi-
nance to be offered by Mr.. Weatherly
for adoption next week places the time
limit for firings after the first firing OF
the day at minutes. in Cincinnati. even
though they have an expert smoke in
spector's department, the time each hour
allowed fer smoke 10 issue from the
stacks Is minutes
How Problem Is Handled
Following is the closing paragraph Of
the article in -'rhe National Engineer, .
which explains the method used in Gin
olnnati and shows the contrast with Bir-
minghams 5 way:
s'The method of procedure in handling
the smoke problem in Cincinnati is as
follows. When a stack Isl reported to
u.s. or is observed by our department. to
be smoking in violation of the ordinance
which prohibits the emission of dense
smoke during longer aggregate inter-
val than six minutes In any one hour
except when the fires are being cleaned
or new fire is being built, we notify
the owner of such violation and ofrer our
services. We have found violators
anxious to take advantage of our CO.
operation; and knowing that our recon-
mendations of curative measures are
based on certain knowledge of their
conditions, acquired through the medium
of elaborate tests, they have responded
very willingly to our suggestions regard
ing the necessary alterations
The smoke ordinance now in force in
Birmingham allows three minutes an
hour for smoke to issue from the stacks
of the factories. The amended ordinance
which will be offered next week for adop-
ton and Which will replace the present
ordinance If accepted by the other two
commissioners. allows II minutes for the
first firing of the day and three minutes
each hour thereafter for additional fir
ings during that day.

THREE R.
Shipping About 100 Tons of Ore Day
 to Fl Paso Shelter.

The Three R. Mine is shippine about 100 tons of ore a day to the Fl Paso smelter, according to the Santa Cruz Patagonian. The Three R mine is owned by N. L. Amster and other Boston interests.
 During the past month 2S0O tons were shipped out, which is at the rate -of a little less than 100 tons day. On account of storms and extremely bad weather, the freighters were un- able to handle the ore. For the com ing month it is expected the ship ments will average a little more than 100 tons a day.
 In addition to getting out this big quantity of ore, Superintendent Wan wig has 10 or 12 development faces opened. At present 112 men are em- ployed at the mine. The R. R R. IS the biggest mine in the district, and has been aptly referred to as ''Pata- gonias one best bet

IN THE M l N E s MINE MANAGERS CONFER WITH
 FACULTY
Visitors Favor Rigid Three-Year Min ing Course With Elective Work
 in the Fourth Year.

TUCSON-Minem manager and facul ty members of the University met on Tuesday to discuss a reorganization of the mining course. Prof. Goodrich opened the conference by giving a summary of the present and future of the mining school. Dr. A. H. Will de asked the visitors if they consider ed an elective course of specialization better than a rigid course in the fundamentals of mining. The min ing men agreed that the best course would be a strict, rigid three-year course, with little elective work in the fourth year.
 The meeting then adjourned and the engineers spent an hour in in specting the equipment of the min ing school. Among the engineers there were Messrs. De Kalb, Hay ward, Branigan, Minor, Kidney, Me- Dermott, Hatcher, Ringers, Edward Richardson, Moore, Dr. Ricketts, Norman Carmichael and Capt Green way.

COPPER.
Prices Continue to DecIine-Some
 Foreign Buying.

Copper metal prices continue to de
 cline under the influence of large of
 ferings by producers who need the
 money" to use current phrase which expresses the situation rather bluntly During the past week considerable
 business was done with European buy ing at 16 cents, but after these in- oped weak tone, in response to the reaction in the London speculative cop
 per market, and sales at IA IA cents were reported. There is a strong sus- picion that the London market is manipulated purposely for it's effect upon the prices here.
 January exports of copper are re- ported as 24,659 tons which is a larg- CT total than shown in either Novem- Der. or December, but still under the average monthly exports for the whole of 1912
 Reports coming in from the various producing interests generally show a falling off in the January production, the new porphyry mines excepted. Whether the older producers are do ing as well as they might in the mat ter of production may be doubted in some quarters, but it would hardly seem to be good policy for them to purposely restrict their output on ac- count of the decline in prices.
 The copper market responds easily to the law of supply and demand. It is the publicly announced intention of the arrangements of the big porphyry which are coming to the front as large producers. to sell their product in the open market as rapidly as it can be got on the market at go- ing prices. A similar policy on the part of the older copper mining com panies would seem to be in order.

GREENE CANANEA.
Shaft on The capote Mine is Down
 600 Feet.

A despatch from Cananea, Mexico, says: The Cananea Consolidated Cop per company is doing more actual mining and development work at it's various properties than it has done for quite a few years
 About the most important work be- ing done at the present time is the sinking of new shaft at the Capote mine. This work has been under way for some time and the shaft has now reached a depth of 600 feet, being connected at every level with the old shaft, short distance away
 The latest reports are to the effect that on the 700 foot level the drift has been run to the new shaft and the shaft is now being raised from that level. The shaft will go down to the 1000-foot level before sinking is stop ped.
 On the surface, at the new shaft, bins have been installed, belt conveyor completed and everything placed in readiness for the operation of the new shaft when completed.
 The ore body at the Capote is considered by many to be the richest as well as largest in the camp.

When Charles Riley approached to inquire into the cause of Grants behavior, he found him speechless and apparently mentally unbalanced. An automobile conveyed Grant to the Copper Queen hospital, where physicians have exam ined him but have been unable to find the cause of his plight.

James Douglas, of the United Verde Extension, accompanied by F. J.

As all know, MT Douglas is head of the syndicate that took over the Extension. MT. Will Hams is one of the Williams brothers who were prominent in the early de velopment of the Warren (Bisbee) dis trict, where they were for years con- nected with the Copper Queen. At the Extension they found the work of retimbering the shaft completed, and other preliminary work necessary to the starting of development advanc- ed so far that it is safe to predict that underground work will be started sometime next week.
