COPPER SUPPLY
SHOWS INCREASE
JULY STATISTICS OF RED METAL
OUTPUT ARE EQUALLY GRAFT
FYING TO PRODUCERS AND
SHAREHOLDERS.

The July statistics of the American
Copper Producers association. re-
leased on Friday in New York and
transmitted west by the way of the
Pollock wires, shows an increase in
the visible domestic stocks of copper
by 690,339 pounds. and are, as will
be agreed. favorable item for the
producer. This brings the domestic
stocks on August l to 53,594, ,945
pounds, the worlds total on August
e. being 130.431.425 pounds. The
total deliveries for July of 137,3S4,-
263 pounds. therefore. is practically
100000 pounds in excess OF the
worlds available metal.
Production in July was l3S,074.-
COZ pounds, as compared with 121.-
860,s53 pounds in June. domestic de-
liyeries were 5S.904.192 pounds as
compared with 6S.452,751 pounds in
June. while exports were 7S,4S0. .263
pounds. as compared with 6S,067.-
901 in June.
Just as the Nevada producer of
copper has reason to congratulate
himself over the splendid statistical
position of the metal and the certain
ty of rising prices. has the owner of
copper shares ample reason for feel
ingoptimistie. Itshould be remember
ed that the copper stocks at the
present time are selling on the basis
of 13-cent copper and ex-pessimism.
Everything that can hurt the copper
shares market has been emphasized
time and time again. and II ever
there was a time for advancing
market tendencies 1t certainly is
right now. Conditions are so favor
able marketwise that the indication
of the average investor and specula-
tor to leave the market strictly alone
should begin to waver.
However reluctant the copper
shares may be to reflect the unique
position of the metal, market ranges
eventually must respond to the earn
ing capacity of the various COM
panies
Spot copper on Friday was ad-
sanced to 16 cents pound as re-
suit of the publication of the produ-
GERS July statistics.

pies. | did not expect, nor did the

LANGAN CALLS THATCHER'S
REPORT A 'VENOMOUS" STATEMENT.
Defends His Action In State Bank. and
Trust Company Receivership.---" Mans
Dearest Possession Is His Character

The affairs of the defunct state
Bank and Trust company have oc-
cupied public attention again the
past week, with the issuance of Judge
Frank r. Langan's letter to Governor
Oddie, in answer 10 the report of the
attorney general. The report of At
torney General Thatcher was made in
pursuance of an act of the legisla
investigation of the reeeiyership of
the State Bank and Trust company.
That report recommended that an
extra session of the legislature be
called, that charges be preferred
against Judge Langan for his mis-
feasance and malfeasance in office,
in connection with the State Bank
and Trust company receivership, and
that if the charges were found true
the judge be removed from the Of
flee of district judge of the First
Judicial District of Nevada.
Whatever the facts relative to the
State Bank failure and scandal, the
people of the state are coming to the
opinion that something should be
done in the way of law enactment
that will prevent any such long
drawn out, expensive and discredit-
able situation arising in the settling
up of the affairs of an institution
that had handled peoples savings
and earnings. Sometime preventive
remedy will be forthcoming.
Judge Langan's reply to Attorney
General Thatcher is an emphatic de-
nial to the charges made in the re-
port, and closes as follows:
in one breath, he says | was a
victim of fraud in another deliber-
ate falsifier and myself guilty of
fraud. Which are you to belieye2
Who ought to be investigated. the
attorney general or myself? Has he
no heart. no conscience. no sense of
fairness or honor and no conception
whatever of the duties of a judge or a
court. or is he grovelling in the de-
light of attempting to ruin me 10
satisfy lust for disgraeeful personal
conquest?
Again | read from his report on
page II thereof;
1t is useless to initiate or COM
mence any proceeding before Judge
Langan, either civil or criminal
which have for their object the pun
ishment of the guilty. or the restor-
alton to the depositors that of which
they have been wrongfully deprived
and to which they are lawful, and
Justly entitled
why this contemptuous, venom
Gus and disgraceful statement? ?
What a damnable public assertion To
make in the face Of the unsupported
TRADE as made against me, Has he.
as attorney general of the state. ever
gone to the state prison to see the
guilty criminals | have sentenced and
punished? Has he. in mis- report,
cited a single instance in his report
