COL. JAcKLlNe IS
 OPTIMISTIC OVER
 GENERAL OUTLOOK

The following interview with Col. D. C. Jackling is from the Boston News Bureau
 We have decided to proceede> at once with the development of the Butte.New York properties The Butte & Superior Company owns the controlling interest in the stock of the Buue.New York Copper company which controls what is known as the Butte.Aiilwaukee group of claims. These claims lying east and north from the Blacl, Rock will be develop. ed as rapidly as possible.
 With the present price of spelter and copper we are certainly going to devote our energies to mining all that We can of both in the companies ! am connected with. One Of the hardest problems the Butte & Super for company has had the face was that of finding way to handle our concentrates. The smelter capacity of the country for the handling of spolter is limited and we found this a handicap Happily we have been able to make the needed arrange ments. so that the company was not compelled to curtail to any material extent the output of the Black Rock mine and the Butte & Superior mill
 "We will SO right ahead with fur ;her developments Of the ore reserv- es The Butte-New York claims are zinc properties and We expect to keep ore reserves well ahead. The devel opment will be carried on from our i2OO foot level in the Butte & Super for which runs into the Butte-New York ground and also from other lev els
 "All of our companies are working to meet the big demand for spelter and copper that has sprung up so suddenly. At present prices they can make large profits and they are aim ing to meet the demand for the met als to their capacity
 Utah copper and all the porphyries | are now running to the very limit of their capacity They have been ! steadily increasing the amount of cop per produced while the cost of pro. ductiou Is now reduced to the lowest point these companies have ever known
 Butte 6 Superior was making mon ey when spelter was selling at five cents a pound Now that the price of spelter is way up around 24 cents a pound. with the demand for it far in- Go the coming months. the company is making a showing that no one even dreamed would be possible six months ago
 The new mill Of the Alaska Gastin- eau company at Juneau is making a fine record It has already handled DO per cent more ore than the sup posed capacity when it was built We are more than satisfied with the re- suits shown there Tn all our mining operations we ire making efforts to meet the con- , litions that are arising. The war in | Europe is causing situations that are } unprecedented. In both spelter and I copper the smelling operations are [ ,iving more concern than the mining ( art of it { "lt is not at an unlikely that ad- ( itional smelling capacity will be re- s uired if conditions continue as at resent The improvements made in S he line of teaching plants and manv ther improvements that could be 3 ientioned are receiving greater at- ti ention than ever since copper has u .sen so rapidly and the demand has icreased. al "The general mining outlook is d Dlendid That expresses it." fC

Prof Wilson of Harvard, professor of international law. says more than 10000 treaties have been made by warning nations as the result of the ending of wars during the past 100 years, not all of which have been kept and many of which could not have been kept. He says the only way to have treaties made as near as possible is to have them drawn up by army officers.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS


Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are in the open and take them up
before the last days of summer have
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs,
which must be taken up soon.
Insects will now begin to attack the
scarlet runner and other flowers of
that nature, and they must be careful
ly watched.
The dahlias, gladioli, viburnum and
other Tank-growing plants are likely to
be blown down by the wind and should
be staked.
Unless the chrysanthemums are
shaded during the hot months they
will be injured by the sun
Drench the ground around the tea
roses, but do not spray the bush.
