COPPER EXPORTS INCREASING.

Exports Of copper from October l
to October 8 totaled 1890 tons.
against 561G during the same period
last year.
For first seven days of this month
copper exports aggregated 1908 900
pounds. If this rate Is maintained
exports for the month will exceed
I2.5O0.0 900 pounds. Assuming that
domestic consumption aggregates
10000. 900 pounds. total exports and
domestic shipments would reach 81
500 900 pounds. This is about the
monthly rate of mine production. II
copper companies that ship TO this
country for refining purposes are
operating at so per cent capacity.

col. JACKLING DISCUSSES
THE COPPER SITUATION.

Colonel d. c. lacking has return
ed to Salt Lake City. from a trip tC
Alaska, where he went to inspect
Operations of the extensive gold min.
ing enterprises in which he is inter
csted. Colonel Jackling had consider
able to say. as a matter of course,
regarding the Alaskan outlook, but
his remarks on the present copper
situation in the United States appear
of most interest, as bearing on a sub
ject affecting the welfare of people
in this immediate vicinity The
colonel takes an optimistic view, and
carries the idea that the eurtailmeni
u cooper manufacturing ccnters ha.
reached its crest, and that improve.
ment may be looked for before very
many weeks. When asked relative TO
the copper mines and metal COD
ditions, he is quoted as follows:
I'VE are still going along at half
capacity at the various properties.
There is no immediate indication of
change in the situation as far as our
properties go. and / believe this is
the general situation at the other
copper mines of this country.
THE present total production o:
copper is being taken, indicating that
there are no material accumulations
of surplus stocks from the present
production. The consumption is I'M
proving a little all the time. In a
general way there Is a gradual i'm
provement In the financial and in
dustrial conditions of the country.
I'm view of this outlook we are
hopeful. and believe hat it will MOI
be necessary to curtail any further
at the mines, and feel quite con-
hdent that this danger Is passed. Ii
looked very much at m time that
we might not be able to continue at
the present capacity. ] look now for
rather than any further
curtailment. However, do not ex-
pect the improvement to come other
wise than gradually"
Concerning the Alaskan gold min
ing development. Col. Jackling gave
out that those in control looked for
ward 10 Operations within a few
years at the rate of 1000, 600 ton
per annum with annual profits of ap-
proximately $4,000, 600.
