What is the Prospect for Copper?

Everybody has had to reverse the OPP
timistic views of the prospects for cop
per chat he held six months ago. At
that time the statistics were good and
the sentiment also was good. Since
then sentiment has become bad. This
is because of the pail of depression
that has overtaken American indus
tries. The forecasts of production and
of European consumption have proved
to be correct; but the forecast of re-
vival in American business and increas-
ing domestic consumption was as err
roneous as anything could be.
The brilliant statistical position,
which has all along been the bulwark
of hope, is not yet materially impaired.
But if things continue for another
three months as they are now the sta
tistical position will begin to be looking
dubious. In that event we might as
well be prepared to see copper at less
than ID cents. Indeed, it is not very
far from that now. On the other hand,
a sudden revival in domestic demand
might cause the price to bound up to Is
cents within few weeks.
Which will it be? The answer de-
ponds on what is going to happen in
general business in this country. He
who can solve that riddle can prophesy
the movement of copper. Engineering

Chief Consolidated.

A Salt Lake, Utah despatch says:
For five days during the past week the
Chief Consolidated property has been
closed down while new and heavier
guides were being placed in one side of
the main working snaft.
The management took advantage of
the July a holiday to repair the shaft
and machinery. During the five days
no ore was taken out and record was
made in the repair work.
Since the first of the year the Chief
has handled close to 500 carloads of
ore. These have not been of as high
grade as some that were mined a year
ago, yet the return has been an excel
lent one. The company is averaging 20
cars of ore week.

leached zone, and is it possible that at
greater depth other ore bodies will be

The ore zone at the Grand Gulch
mine below the known ore bodies con-
tains some limonite, but so far as seen
there were no copper minerals of any
lind on either the 800 or 400 foot level.
It would seem that if this were loach-
ed zone, there should be traces of cop
per carbonates left, or the material
should have pitted texture Indicative
of the former presence of sulphides.
No such indications were noted by the
writer.
According to the explanation of the
origin of this deposit advanced in the
preceding pages, all the metals were
brought to their present positions by
generally mountaineering waters.

these solutions was comparatively

atoms Output of Mineral Products

Washington, D. c., July 10, 1914.
In an interview relative to the great
expansion of the mineral industries Of
the United States, Secretary of the In
terror Lane gave out the following:
The Nations output of mineral pro-
Ducts of various kinds is a fair measure
Of industrial activity. For several
months now the Department of the In
serior, through the Geological Survey,
Gas been issuing it's final statistics of
the 1918 mineral production which con-
firms in detail the preliminary estimat-
e5 issued early in January for the prin-
cipal minerals. In the large majority
of cases these authoritative figures tell
IN one way or another the same story
of industrial prosperity. In coal pro-
duction the increase has been general,
and it is this very fact that serves as
an unmistakable index Of general health
in the industrial world. But as State
after State is shown to have its banner
coal year-West Virginia, Illinois,
Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Montana,
Texas, Utah, and Pennsylvania in Goth
bituminous and anthracite, the record
becomes spectacular. Ohio for in
stance had it's floods, yet there was a
substantial per cent increase in coal
output, and the miners averaged more
working days in 1918 than in 1912.
Twelve other states showed increases
varying from per cent in Iowa to IL
per cent in Indiana and over Is per
cent in Washington, and only Colorado,
Maryland, North Dakota, Nevada,
Idaho, and Missouri show decreased
output, the Colorado labor troubles ex-
planning the only significant decrease.
In similar way, the figures Of coke
production give large increases, and
coke, it may be noted, is step nearer
The metal industry. Petroleum produc-
ton in 1918 exceeded all records, an in
crease OF rs million barrels and II mil
lion dollars over the 1912 returns.
In metal mining, the iron and zinc
mines had banner year, while gold,
silver, lead and copper showed de-
cline in many Of the largest producing
States. Structural materials on the
other hand exhibit marked gains al
most without exception. Thus 1918
was tie banner year for cement, which
gains more than II per cent over 1912,
and record outputs are also shown for
lime, Luilding sand and gravel, sand
limo brick, and glass sand Other
mineral products for which 1913 was a
record brea&ing year, are bauxite and
aluminium, sulphuric acid, feldspar,
mica, pottery, and tale and soapstone,
while substantial increases are report
ed for gypsum, phosphate rock, abra-
sives, barytes, slate, and salt. These
production figures all express we'll
maintained activity in mines, smelter,
furnace and mill, and prove that the
American people are utilizing more of
the Nations great natural resources
than ever before. A few weeks later
when figures are at hand for all of the
mineral products, it is expected that
1918 will be found to have overtopped
both 1912 and 1907 which have hitherto
held the record.

Nevada Issues New Law
For Taxation of Mines.

A Carson City, New, despatch says:
The Nevada Tax commission has just
issued from the state printing Office a
pamphlet giving the amended rule for
the assessment of net proceeds of
mines for 1914, the same being adopted
on the first day of this month. The
resolution adopted supersedes that of
May Is, and is as follows:
Resolved, That the following shall be
the rule for the determination of the
net proceeds of mines in the state OF
Nevada and for the assessment the
year 1914:
The net proceeds of any mine shall
be determined as follows:
From the actual value of the gross
yield in any quarter year shall be de-
Quoted the following items of expense
incurred in the same quarter:
Management: All ordinary and nee
essary administrative expense, except
ing: (a) Payments on principal or In
terest on bonds or other Indebtedness.
(b) The expense of maintaining OFFICES
outside of the state Of Nevada.
(O Mining: Ali ordinary and nee
essary expenditures actually made for
mining exclusive of general or admin
istrative expenses), including the cost
of contemporaneous development and
exploration of the mine itself.
(9 Transportation: (a) Where the
transportation facilities used in con-
veying the mine products from the
mine to the place of reduction or sale
are owned or controlled directly or in
directly by the company. The actual
cost of operating such plant facilities,
exclusive of general administrative ex-
pense. (b) Where the mine products
are treated in reduction works owned
or controlled, directly or indirectly, by
the mining company. The actual ex
pense of treatment or reduction or
sale of the said products.
The actual necessary expenditures
for the maintenance and repair of
mine, transportation and milling or re-
duction plants may be included in the
foregoing deductions, but no charge
whatever for depreciation or the re-
demption of any investment in mine
ground, development done prior to the
quarter for which the report is made,
or plant construction shall be allowed.
The sums of items l, 2, and shall
constitute the offset deductions against
the value of the gross yield, and the
difference in each case between the
said gross yield and the said sum shall
be deemed the net proceeds for the
purpose of taxation.
To equalize the mine assessment
with that of other property, 60 per
cent of the net proceeds determined as
provided in the foregoing shall be as
sessed-this rule applying to all mines
from which the ore is extracted direct
ly by the owners. In the case of pro-
ducing ceases" the lessee shall be en-
titled to deduct, in addition to the
items enumerated, the royalties &C
tually paid to the lessor, but royalties
received by any lessor shall be reported
separate from other receipts and 50 per
cent thereof shall be assessed with no
deduction whatever.

The meeting would be held in
Washington and an opportunity
offered to debate the boards sug-
gestions for regulations.
Difficulty has been encounter
I'd by the board in attempting to
define how far a state bank can
go in loans on real estate. 1t
is desired that the assets Of all
member banks remain fairly liz
uid. but a too strict regulation
applicable in all cases might in
lerfere with banks which now
have large amounts loaned on
real property, but which have
their maturities so arranged that
loans are constantly falling due
The board has suggested to
several banks that it is about
time bank members of the feder-
al advisory council were named
so that a meeting of that body
can be held here early next year
Many Of the banks have chosen
their membrs, but others have
not. The council meeting will
not be called until the system has
been working for at least six
weeks, so that the members will
have fair idea of what may be
expected.

not to make final regulations to

but it is probable one will be
called in the near future.
