When Stephen Birch recently re-
turned to Seattle after his sojourn
in this section OF Alaska, he talked
freely OF the copper conditions and
the operations of rthe companies Ill
which he is interested. Before leav-
ing for New York, in discussing the
effect of the war in reducing the cop
per output Mr.. Birch said:
1--WE can mine copper at the pres
ent price by choosing the high-grade
ores and allowing the lesser grades
to lie on the. dumps until such time
as Alaska coal shall be available and
it will be possible to establish
smelter in Alaska. When that is
done we will be able to make cop
per as cheaply in Alaska as in any
other country. Our present diff
Guilty is that the lower-grade ores
must be concentrated, a process in
which there is always a loss, and
the concentrates must be transported
to Puget Sound for reduction. The
lhigher-grade ores are shipped with
out concentration.
Extensive development of the
syndicate's property at the famous
Bonanza and Jumbo mines at Ken
necott is going ahead uninterrupted
and no layoff or cessation of work
is contemplated at either property.
An extensive tramway is now Kinder
of the Kennecott Mines Company,
controlled by the rgan-Guggen-
helm people, which will permit of
nearly double the shipments of ore
now handled. The mine is at the
terminus of the Copper River rail-
way, which is approximately mile
from the company's mill. An i'm
mense copcentrator is now being in
stalled at Latouche Island, where
the. ores will be crushed This will
enable us materially to increase the
output. When these improvements
are completed the output of copper
from the Prince William Sound
region will be. increased about 90
per cent. Other development plans
are under consideration"
4 Besides his connection with the
rgan-Guggenheim syndicate Mr..
4 Birch is a. director of the North
western Commercial Co., Northwest
i ern Steamship Co., Northwestern
Fisheries Co., Copper River & North
i western Railway Co., Katalla Com
pany and is general manager and
i director of the Kennecctt Mines
Company.

CHIEF INTEREST IN
 CONGRESS THIS WEEK
Will Be in Hobson Resolution for Ma
 tionaI Prohibition.

Washington. Dec. 20.-Chief interest in congress this week centers on the vote in the house Tuesday on the rule to take up the Hobson resolution for submission to the states of a constitu- tional amendment for national prohibf- ton. Debate on the rule promises to be spirited. Although 1t had been pro- posed to vote before the holiday recess on rule on the woman suffrage con stitutional amendment, administration leaders tonight predicted there would not be opportunity to reach it until after the holiday recess House lead CTS say that the prohibition resolution will not receive the required two thirds majority vote.
 Another effort will be made tomor- row in the house to get a vote on Rep resentative Levers bill to provide gov ernment licensing of cotton ware houses.
 In the senate the immigration bill remains as the unfinished business, but there is little prospect it will be dis posed of until after the holidays.

London, Dec 20, s:so p. m-winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty. in a letter to the mayor of Scarborough, in which he expresses the sympathy of himself and of the navy at the losses sustained through the German bombardment of Scarbor- ough and disappointment over the es- cape of the German warships, says:
 We await with patience the oppor- tunity that will surely come. But, view it in its larger aspect, the incl dent is one of the most instructive and encouraging that has happened in the war. Nothing proves more plainly the effectiveness of the British naval pressure than the frenzy Of hatred aroused against us in the breasts of the enemy.
 This hatred has already passed the frontiers of reason. It clouds their vision, 1t darkens their counsels and 1t conyulses their movements. We see a nation of military calculators throw ing calculation to the winds; of stra-

FuTHER DETAILS OF BATTLE
 OFF FALKLAND ISLANDS.
While Germans Were Firing at Long Range British seamen Were 5reak- fasting.

Montevideo, Dec. 20.-Seyeral inter- esting details of the recent naval bat tie off the Falkland Islands in which a. British squadron sank the German cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leip- zig and Nurnberg, became known here today when Admiral Sturdee, the British commander, and his Stan came ashors to attend a reception given by the Belgian and French ministers. The naval officers were warmly received.
 When the battle began and while the Germans were firing at long range. 1t is said that the British Commanders reserved their fire and permitted their men to have breakfast before answer ing the attack When the Britishers did come into action, however, little signalling was done, as each vessels commander already knew what his task was to be.
 When the Gneisenau sank she was without ammunition, but had refused to surrender. Her officers and men songs as she took her plunge beneath the waves. A large number of her crew, including several officers, were rescued. Some of these men died later from wounds or shock sustained by submersion in the cold water.
 The Scharnhorst was ablaze when she sank with all hands, including Ad- miral, one aboard the Gneisenau and one aboard the Leipzig, were also lost. The commander of the British flagship was slightly hurt on the foot by being struck by a flying splinter. Had he ordered his six-inch guns manned, ities aboard, as one of these guns was emashed by a German shell.
 The Germans saved from the disas- ter have been sent to England
