CONTRACTS AWARDED
FOR SIX DESTROyERS
One to Be Constructed at the Mare
Island Navy Yard at Lowest
Price Bid.

Secretary Daniels awarded contracts
yesterday for the construction of the
six destroyers authorized by the last
naval appropriation bill. as follows:
Fore River Shipbuilding Company, two
ships, $795.000 each; Bath Iron Works,
two ships. 100000 each; Cramp Ship
building Company. one ship. $4,000.
The sixth ship will be constructed at
the Mare Island navy yard, which sub
mitted an estimate of s626,4S7, for one
ship. 1t will be the first destroyer
built in a government yard.
The appropriation bill limited the
amount to be paid for each destroyer
to $925,000. but made no provision fo.
more than six vessels. Consequently
the none! saved in today's award may
not be used for additional construction.
but must be turned back to the Treas
ury.
In this connection Mr. Daniels issued
this statement:
The average cost of the five DESTROY
ers for which contract was awarded
today was ss02.00O. or S73,26S3O less
per vessel than the corresponding cost
Of the vessels of one year ago; or
total reduction in cost of the five yes
sells Of $366.341.5O.
IF the appropriation bill had allowed
the construction of six or more de-
strOyers for the amount authorized, it
would have been possible for the Sec
retary Of the Navy to order seven de-
stroyers, instead of six, and keep with
In the appropriation. Secretary DAN
iels will ask Congress to appropriate
for destroyers this year as it did for
submarines last year, when it made
the appropriation read eight or more

''One word about manufactur-
ing. Colorado produces x13,-
0t0, 900 annually in copper, lead
and zinc, and every pound Of it
is shipped out of the state to
give employment to hundreds Of
thousands Of people in the east
If We kept that zinc, copper and
lead here we could manufacture
them into articles worth at least
five times as much, x55,O0O,-
900. Capital receives not much
more than ten per cent Of this,
the balan nee going to labor.
1T 10 folly to say We cannot
manufacture here. We have the
coal, We have unlimited power in
our mountain streams, and we
have the raw material. They say
we lack the market. II that is 40
how can We sell our raw material?
II there is demand for our
raw material, there will be de-
mand for the finished pro-
duct il we hold the pro-
duct until we have manufactured
it. 1t should be a good invest
ment for this state to pay manu-
facturers bonus to come here
to give employment to our peo-
pie instead OF starving ten
months of the year that we may
live two months off the eastern
tourist who has made his money
manufacturing the raw material
we furnished him.
"The mining revival has begun
in Colorado largely, ] believe,
through the efforts of the State
Bureau of Mines. We have spared
no effort to assist the mining in
dustry, although we are hamper
ed by law and lack of law, and
we have no funds for the cam
paign which we should like to
wage.
"lf our mining committees had
been energetic in their own behalf
the legislature for the past twen-
ty years would have been more
Just. We now have 1000 more
prospectors at work in Colorado
than we had year ago. There
is a big demand for the state
mining laws. which unfortunately
have not been compiled. Every
day the Bureau of Mines receives
reports of new discoveries, but
we have not the means to invest
igate all
"The most forward step that
has been taken in many years
was the organizing a few months
ago of the Colorado Metal Min
ing Association, which has for its
objects the encouragement of the
metal mining industry and of
mining in the state. This asso-
ciation will have a membership
of q 800 before the close of this
year. and then We can say to the
people of Colorado and to the
legislature and to our county
governments that we are in
earnest in our efforts to improve
our industry. Ii is the duty of
every county actively Interested
in mining to be a member of this
association. | prophecy that
