WALKER DISCUSSES WARS EFFECTS UPON
 COPPER PRODUCTION
Suspension of HostiIitieS Would Be Followed By Cancellation of War Orders But Immediate Demands Would Accrue.

Those who are referring constantly to " the present enormous production of copper" apparently do not appreci- ate the fact that the output Of the Butte District for the first seven monhs of this year was smaller by 3O,OOO,O0O odd pounds than for the corresponding period of 1914. The leading porphyry mines had produced about 2O,0OOOOO pounds less copper up Co the end of July than they did in the first seven months of 1914 There has been an enlarged output from Alaska. due to the heavy shipments of very high grade ore by the Kenne- colt Copper Company; but the initial shipment Of the Chile Copper Com pany did not arrive in this country until last week Production is very much larger now than 1t was earlier in the year when most Of the mines were curtailing, but it is not very greatly in excess of the highest re- cord reached last year.
 There exists great diversity of opinion as to what effect the termina- ton of the war win have on the cop per trade Market dullness is probab- ly responsible for the opinion voiced by some that after the war ends the price Of copper win decline to a very low level
 It may be useless to attempt to ex- plain away such a theory by reciting the facts that an enormous amount of copper have been destroyed by the war. that all previous wars have been followed by long periods of great in- dustrial activity and that Germany and Austria. having exhausted their supplies of copper, will be obliged to come into the market and buy heavily
 There is a still simpler fact which will appeal to every one who has had business experience. IL is that the owners of the copper and brass mills in Germany, Austria and Belgium will 1 surely make stupendous effort tc regain the foreign trade of which the
 war is depriving them, and also tC
 supply their own countries with all the copper and brass hoods they use Prior to the awr about 27 per cent o the worlds total copper output wal
 purchased by Austria, Germany anC Belgium and in those countries onl,
 about per cent of the worlds cop
 per was produced The closing O
 their ports and the diversion of thei activities from that of supplying in dustrial demand to the making of wal munitions has cut out only 6 per cen
 of the worlds copper production ana ! 27 per cent of the manufacturing cap acity. The 2l per cent remaining which is now deprived of raw materia
 except SO far as copper previously il
 use is being reclaimed, will be abl after the war ends to manuiactur nearly 6OO.0OO,OOO pounds of coppe

other products To get all these mills and factories in full operation will re quire the purchase of approximately 200.O0O,O0O pounds of copper, and the only reason anyone can have for as suming that this copper will not be purchased is the belief that the Ger man owners of copper and brass mills will close mp their plants an dabandon all efforts in the future to regail the position they formerly held in the worlds trade Of course such an as sumption cannot be entertained for a moment
 10 is impossible to estimate just what the condition of the copper mar ket will be when peace treaties are finally signed in Europe; but if they were concluded to morrow and fol- lowed by an attempt to purchase 200,- OOO,OOO pounds of copper for immedi- ate delivery that amount could not possibly be shipped by the mining companies. The cancellation of war orders undoubtedly would release con siderable copper which has been pur- chased for future delivery, but the owners of this are American brass and copper manufacturers who for the most part would be obliged to retain 1t to keep their own operations going
 In all of the buying countries of the world, aside from those engaged in war, financial conditions have existed for year past which have greatly restricted their purchases of manufac tured goods and restrained them from proceeding with important construc ton work particularly in the line of electrical development and equipment The termination of the war will elinr mate these financial handicaps and make immediately a greater market for the copper and brass products oi European manufacturers.
 1 When all these factors are taken | into consideration it becomes clearly apparent that a stronger demand for copper will develop after the war than existed preceding it If the war con tnuous another year the re-establish ment of peace will find the world'' supplies of copper entirely exhausted and the rapidly growing industrial de mand will have to be supplied iron the current output of the mining com panies. Such a condition as this coulC hardly fail to cause an abnormal ad vance in the price of the metal. II view of this outlook 1t does not seen bad business policy for producing companies to go on operating thei
 properties to full capacity,

THE FAMOUS MAMMOTH MINE IS SOLD TO
 EASTERN PARTIES
Mayor George U. Young, of PhOe- nix, Makes Big Sale That Will Benefit the Whole State.

PHOENIX. Oct. 23 Upon reliable authority it was learned yesterday that the visit of Mayor George U. Young to the east for the purpose of selling his Mammoth Mine property has met with success and that the sale will be consummated either today or tomorrow for nearly S75OOOO The papers have already been drawn and require only the signatures of the va rious parties The sale, if consummat- ed will be under an option given by Mir Young upon the occasion of his trip east somethiug like one month ago.
 For some time there has been a gen eral belief that the faith of Mayor Young in the Mammoth mine was about to be rewarded The property has been working right along, a ten stamp mill turning out a good quantity of bullion monthly The sale would have been undertaken sooner but for the fact that there was SO much iinan' cial unrest in the east rhat the pros pective purchasers were hesitating a. bout turning loose that amount of capital at one time.
 George IT. Young has stated from time 10 time that one day he would dispose of the Mammoth mine for not less than half a million dollars There were those who, being unfamiliar with the property classed the idea as a dream. But the worth pf the mine has been demonstrated beyond any question and the surprise now is that is could be purchased for anythinl like the figure mentioned The deal is being looked upon in the east as on' of the most important of the year ir mining circles

 TUNGSTEN MINES
American Tungsten Company Recently Incorporated to 0per- ate Claims in This County for Tungsten; Local Interest.

Tho American Tungsten Company has been incorporated under the laws of Arizona the incorporators being Juo E Penberthy. of Gleeson. this county; Wm c. Rice. Houghton, Mich. and Jas. II Casey. Warren, this coun- ty
 The company is capitalized for SlO0.OO0 par value S1 each. The main office will be at Gleeson this county.
 The American Tungsten Company has recently purchased the old Euclid wolframite claims on the eastern slope Of the Whetstone mountains. which were relocated by Jonathan Gordon and associates last winter. The prop erty is distant ten miles southwestern ly from Benson.
 The Euclid company, which operat- ed the property about eoght years ago. owing to poor management the low price of tungstic acid prevailing at that time, and concentrating plant unsuited for the purpose, failed after limited operations
 | It is rumored that the new company will immediately erect a modern con. centrdting plant, but at what point our informant did not know. but pre- sumably on the property. The new plant is estimated to cost about $75 GOO.
 The price Of tungstic acid is soaring skyward, recent quotations being as high as $50 ped unit, the highest ever paid for the acid since its use has en ter1l the commercial field
 Before the war SC per unit was | considered a fair price for tungsten but il is hard to say what price it will climb Co as it's use is very essentia in the manufacture of modern wal munitions
 Penson will undoubtedly be the trad ing center for the new company, anC as the operations will be quite eN tensive business conditions here vii change for the better.
