SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 1S.-Col D. c. Jackling, one of the most promi- nent copper magnates Of the country and heavily interested in Alaska min- ing operations. especially In the bis mines in the vicinity of Juneau, de- clared here today that Great Britaip's pronouncement that copper win loo considered an absolute contro6ano of war w,ll cause a reduction oi the cop- per production in the Uinted States Of upwards of eight hundred million pounds annually causing a loss Of S1f4O0000O to the producers and a corespondingly large wage loss to tho miners and laborers employed in that production, besides a general loss to those engaged in commercial actiyi- ties.
 While discussing tho situation Col lackling was careful not to say any- Shing that could be construed into yio- iation of the neutral spirit which Pres ident Woodrow Wilson has asked all Americans to maintain throughout the war.
 On his recent visit to Juneau Col. Jackling said that the copper proper ties with which he was associated were running on hall time, on account Of the conditions of the copper mar ket accustomed by the outbreak Of the European war, but that it was their intention lo continue operating in that way untii conditions were brighter. Te said then that there was no profit in mining copper under the circum- stances but Chat the operators wished to preserve their working organiza- ton which could be best done by con tlnuing operations. Besides Col Jack ling said that an absolute shutdown would work great hardship on the men employed iD the mines and mills.
