Donation Days at the City Hos
pital.

Donation Days, which were inaugu-
rated last November. for the benefit of
the Frederick City Hospital, with such
generous responses from many sections,
will be observed again this November,
and it is believed that large quantity of
supplies will be secured for this worthy
institution in this way Fuller details Of
the plans will be announced later on. II
will be remembered that a special day
was set aside for the children who were
given an opportunity to give some little
gift to the hospital, such as a potato or
an egg. The entire plan worked admir-
ably and the amount received by the in
stitution was most gratifying.
"An enthusiastic member Of the Board
of the Frederick Hospital who was
largely instrumental in having these
Donation Days, says:
"Wiil our friends in the city and
county send us in November a jar Of
pickles, one of preserves and one Of
jelly for the annual November contribu-
tion to the Frederick City Hospital
The generous gifts of last year were so
much appreciated, and we trust that
every boy and girl will not forget the DO
tato and egg souvenir.
I'VE will have better system this
year, as we did not realize what a gen.
erous response would come throughout

COPPER SMELLING IS
RESUMED AT TOOELE
Three Reverberatories Are
Now in Action, and Four
Blast Furnaces.

One of the last traces Of the 1912 Bing-
ago when the International Smelling &,
Refining company In Tooele county re-
sumed the active smelling of copper ores.
General Manager William Wrath was
seen by The Tribune on Thursday morn
Ing, and stated that the company had be-
gun feeding charge to three reVerberatory
furnaces the FIRST of the week. Mr..
Wrath added that everything was NOV
Ing along as smoothly as could be de-
sired at the plant
When the strike at Bingham was de-
several producers OF copper ore which
were shipping TO the international plant
which were forced to close down the
mines for month or more. thereby re-
moving the main supply of smelter food
OF the Tooele county plant Following
the end Of the Bingham difficulty, the
international began stock -plling copper
ore and round the first OF the year 1t was
understood that there were $4,000 or
therefore, has a splendid supply ahead
and there is no reason to- anticipate the
smelling operations Will be interfered
with from now on,
AT the lead smelter OF this company
three blast furnaces have been In sue
cessful operation continuously. and the
fourth furnace was blown in yesterday y
morning. This brings the international
lead smelter TO an operating capacity

on hand, with large shipments from in
Vulnerable producers being received
daily.

Much Metal Unsold.

This report as yet lacks official authen-
tication, but, granting that It is true,
the Chino is not alone among the cop
per producing concerns of the country In
a like iix, nor could the Chino desire
company more distinguished. The Ne
vada Consolidated companys last quar-
terly report stated that at the close OF
plus OF copper on hand and unsold The
small sales OF copper reported during the
past two or three months is sufficient
proof that the production during this
period is somewhere, and that somewhere
can only be in the hands OF the producing
interests or their selling agencies,
II would appear therefore, that unless
relief in the way OF increased purchases
on The part OF the consumer Is had soon
the copper metal market Will see still
lower ranges than l5 cents pound,
where the principal agencies are now
holding the metal. 1t appears logical
wise to enter lucent metal market
when by holding off a while longer he
might he able TO acquire his metal for
Il lower figure.
There are great many copper conpa
nies aside from the Chino which are feel
Ing the Inactivity OF the market and the
reluctance OF the consumer TO make his
purchases. No Increase is now antici-
pated In the Utah Copper or Nevada
Consolidated dividends the Miami COM
pany is not increasing its output and

an additional dividend burden upon the

verse conditions and raise their respec-
tive dividends.

WALL STREET STILL
BACKS ASSOCIATION
But Copper Figures Are Not
Generally Accepted, Says
an Eastern Journal.

The following editorial I'm the Engi-
neerins and Mining Journal Will be OF
much interest TO western copper cir
cles, which have been paying consider
able attention to the monthly statistics
of the American Copper Producers as
ISOLATION,
II is now recognized everywhere, except
In Wall street. that the monthly reports
of the Copper Producers association are
not entitled to too great attention. for
the reason that they reflect the copper
situation only in a partial and imperfect
way, Also, monthly statistics represent
periods too short TO show the real trend
OF things. The matter of most useful
ness in the hgures of the Copper Pro-
ducerS association is the showing Of Just
how much copper Is on hand at the re-
fneries at the end OF each month,
Inc January hgures show large In
crease crease In The stock; as had been eS.
back, copper manufacturers. both in Eu
rope and America, have been living large
ly on their fat and have transferred to
the producers the burden OF carrying all
Of the stocks. The producers, or at least
some OF them, are also now paying the
penalty for delaying the new production
OF 1912. During the first half Of that
year the refinery production ran far un-
der that OF the mine; at present Ii Is
overrunning the mine production. The
bigness of the refinery production report

was made to misreprvsent anything in
this particular, and that of course gives
confidence in the statistics. However,,
1T appears that some copper may have
been speculatively transferred to Europe,
going into stock at Hamburg and Rotter-
dam.
The supply of crude copper TO Amerl-
can refiners probably attained its maxi
mum last fall. Since then there has
been some falling OFF in the mine pro-
duction. owing partly to the natural,
seasonal difficulties and partly TO labor
difficulties. The shortage OF labor in the
Rocky mountain region is in fact a lim-
iting condition in production AT the pres
ent time. The Increase In wages last
year was fundamentally TO hold the good
miners needed. Although the price Of
copper has now declined, 1t does not nee
essarily follow that wages Will be re-
duced. In fact, the Anaconda company
has already announced that It will not
make any reduction. AT Bingham the
Utah Copper company still seems to be
short OF men; its production is still run
ming below the normal although the
strike terminated several months ago.

BLUE SKY LAW HAS
STIRRED BROKERS
Proposed Utah Legislation
Would Bar All Legitimate
Stock Transactions.

Brokers generally throughout the sta te
are aroused by the greater part OF the
provisions OF the so-called ''blue sky" law
that has been proposed by a member OF
the present legislature, and concerted
effort will be made to prevent the pass
age OF the bill, The proposed law would
place under the control OF state bank
examiner the absolute control OF all sales
of stock, and the official is given COM
plete and arbitrary power TO permit or
prohibit the sale OF any security. practl-
cally nothing but the MON eDtary condl-
ton OF his stomach being q guide as to
his favorable or unfavorable action.
One broker stated on Thursday that
such a law would kill instantly all indus
try OF the state dependent upon capi-
talization and the transfer OF stock. Each
stock transaction must be submitted to
this one authority, whether jt is STOCK
promotion game or an out and out trans
fer OF a security from one person to an
other. Provisions are made for numer-
GUS applications to this high authority.
while he has the right 10 unlimited In
vestigation of books and accounts, each
move having attached a generous fee for
the examiner, with expenses which must
be paid
Said a broker yesterday:
Suppose that this bill becomes a
law. It practically prohibits the sale
of any stock, for II would be up TO
an official TO place the stamp or his
approval or disapproval upon the
same. 1t is far too comprehensive,
for II the target aimed al is fraudu
lent promotions, the intent is crowd
ed out by including any and all stock
transfers, whether promotion or 9TH

1t would sound the death knell OF
mining. because the majority of

promotion enterprises, there also are
legitimate promotions, which should
not be hampored for the good of the
state, and Utah is as free from the
wildcat as any state In the union.
