Copper.

The predominant feature of the cop- per metal-market during the past two years has been the excellent control of the producers. To this there has now been added the complete control of the export trade by the British Government. The exporters of copper have been ex- ceedingly busy men, not only during the months preceding the war, when de- mand was at high level, but since hostilities began, when it became nec- essary for them to enter the field of international diplomacy. The right of search, which Great Britian has always claimed to hold, sprang into immediate importance when it became a part of Brltian's campaign to keep copper from finding it's way into Germany. Today practically every shipment of copper is approved by representatives of the English government before it leaves our ports. In consequence, England and the neutral nations of Europe are taking all of our export copper. Theo- retically, Germany can import copper on the same terms, whenever it can secure such control of the sea as will make it possible for shipments to get through to that country. The striking thing about the recent arrangements as to copper shipments is the fact that the State Department was apparently un- able or unwilling to help the shippers out of their dilemma and, as an alter native, consented to the shippers taking the matter up directly with the English representatives. All of which goes to prove the statements that have been made as to the versatility of the men who handle the producers end of tie copper metal-market. Exports are now moving smoothly and without hitch. In the meantime domestic deliveries have moved up to record figures, though it is impracticable to get at them with the same exactness that was possible when the Producers Association gave out it's compilations. Wire-mils are said to have come into the market in the rast two weeks, while the demand for brass, for war munitions of one kind and another grows larger as plants are getting into operation. Many of the factories in tue Connecticut valley are just begin ming to turn out work under new con- tracts, and the whole of the lower part of New England is busy making war supplies. It is said, although it cannot be confirmed, that sales of Lake copper were made last week at IF cents; cleo trolytic was quoted at 15 IA cents, with tendency toward further advance.- Mining Press.

Tom Reed Strikes Big Ore.

That the Tom Reed is deep seated ore bearing vein, as outlined in the MINER of few weeks ago, is being demonstrated day by day by the open- ing up of new ore bodies. The latest of these is the uncovering of ten foot body of ore on the 1075 level, where the ore gives an average value of 48S gold to the ton. This is from the winze from the level above and shows the ore going down big and strong.
 The Tom Reed mine is fast becoming ore of the deep mines of the Pacific coast, although the immense bodies opened on the superficial levels giving the company big reserve without the opening up of new ground. At the same t.me the company has been driv- .ng downward to ascertain the ore bearing quality of the ground at lower level and to get line on the character of the ore. So far this ore has re- ma'Ned neutral and it i, probable tEst it will remain in that condition until the primary rocks are entered, which may he at immense depth.
 The striking of the ore below the (0C0 level is @ wonderful thing for the district, as it disproves for all time the theory that values do not live in the older andesite, as this strike is in the older flow, and fully 800 feet below the contact with the upper flow sheets.
