COLD AFFECTS WORK


 manifested in the district because of the reported increase by the copper producers association of 19.0OO. .00A pounds for the month of December. Some increase had been expected by all who watched the falling of of metal exports fer the months Of No vember and December and hence the showing had little of surprise for them. Besides this the fact was dis closed that the total increase in stock on hand for the year had in creased only 15O0o, 600 in the face of the greatest production the nation had known
 Locally there appears every reason for continued confidence and no req. son for fear. In the face of war in eastern Europe. Of antitrust and anti-railroad agitation at home copper demand had remained eoOd and be- sides this some of rhe greatest plans for extensive work the district has ever known are nov in progress or arc contemplated Increased forces are at work and output is approach ing record breaking figures. Tine only disappointment is a lack of inquiry from OUsside sources for mining properties and that companies that were developing --icr 10 the slump of 1907 have not resumed develop ment.
 Cold Affects Output. The cold weather Of last week will be found to have had it's effect upon the output Conditions were unusual lao, ,A This is reported from the C. and A offices who were advised the fore part of the week that the orc at Douglas had frozen up." This com pany is not now suffering so much from short age of caTs as week or two ago The Copper Queen comDany does not report such serious results from the weather as did the C. and A. No New Developments. The Calumet and Arizona company is not reporting anything new in the line of development or production work this week The fCrmeT is pro gressing along certain well developed lines that have been mapped out and the results that have been anticipated are being achieved. In continuing pro hr which will be beneficial and econom- ical this company is still following out its policy of continuing the develop ment Of the properties and the ore bodies in those properties that it has been and is opening up
 The concreting of the Junction still continues one of the most important undertakings ever attempted in the district and 1t is being done with a degree of success that is hihly pleas ing to the management.
 Rumors Not Confirmed.
 In an interview in Tucson Captain John C. Greenway stated that there had been no confirmation received here of the reports that had been cur rent and has spread relative to oth- CT consolidation" as to the C. and A. company. It is assumed that he referred to the reports relative to the C. and A. and Saginaw and in this line it may be said that although the rlmors that were current here were said to have had their foundation in Duluth there has been nothing rela- tive to such consolidation published in the Duluth papers.
 Copper Queen Busy. Between increasing production, con tinuing development, new plans G progress and Co be adopted. the Cop per Queen company has never been more busy than at the present plan. All construction work that has pre-. viously been mentioned in these col umns is being pushed. new develop ment work is going on steadily. not excepting the pOrphyry exploration V ork which mas been even more than satisfactory And meaintine active plans are underway for still other work that IS yet in the contemplation stage Such new work will soon be announced and the year 1913 appears to be certain to be a record breaker in this district for activity on the part of that company.
 In. addition to this the Copper Queen is continuing with its record breaking production, is continuing Sunday work af the shelter and is building another unit there to it's re verberatory plant With the smelter just completed and now putting in it's addition even at this early date there Is a display O. confidence that cannot but encourage every resident of the district
 On top Of these good tidings come reports from all business men that they have not known business to be better in six years. indication of added population on all sides and general air Of prosperity is pervsding al; parts of the Warren district.
