Fred Smith of the ten mine section,
was in town several da~s last week,
having just returned from a busness
trip of several weeks to Walla Walla
and Spokane. Fred is enthusiastic over
the work In the Ten Mile country.
He and his brothers recently brought
to the CamaS Prairie bank of this
place SO ounces of gold (some $4,000
taken out of their property in short

properties near them fully rs good or
better than theirs. which only need n
mill to put them on q good paying
basis.
C. A. Carpenter came out from Ten
Mile Sunday and brings the same en-

Chrlsty's Great Influence.
Christy stood somewhat aside from
the active field in which these other
men worked. With the rare exception
of the few times when he advised re
gardlng metallurgical matters in law
cases, he devoted his long career eX-
ciusIyely to the College of Mines Of
which he was the head. From the
time that he graduated in 1874 to the
day of his death he was connected
with the college. He was placed II
charge in 1879. and it was his good
fortune to have the planning and fur
nishing of the Hearst mining building
the granite structure that common
crates the pioneer miner whose name
II bears. Christy was devoted to teach
ing. but found time for investigation
of the genesis and treatment of quick
silver ores, for studies of colonization
and for original work in cyanidation

who have made good in mining

DEMAND FOR COPPER
EQUAL TO SUPPLY
THE ANACONDA COMPANY is
NOW MARKETING ALL 1T CAN
PRoDucE-ouTLooK GOOD

A well-known mining official OF the
Anaconda company said yesterday. re-
ferrng TO the present strong market
and the copper metal situation: "fhe
company is finding ready
market for every pound of copper we
are producing. The demand for COZ
yer is strong" says the Butte Miner
II is plain to see then that underly-
ing conditions are much improved. Ac-
cording TO a Boston exchange, the rise
in Amalgamated Copper and Anaconda
shares is due in part at least to the
expectation of very favorable state
ments to be contained in the annual
reports of these companies, shortly TO
issue. While it is not anticipated that
the income account of Anaconda VIII
show dividends for the year fully
earned, this was hardly to be expected
in view of the fact that for the last
half of the year the mines were not
operated at much better than % per
cent of capacity, due of course, to the
exigencies of the war
Big War Demand.
! Strange enough, the very event
which at first shocked the Industrial
world, including the copper industry,
into insensibility is now producing a
demand for copper the parallel or
which has never been witnessed For
instance had the month of February
been 31-day month instead OF 20
day month, the deliveries of copper
for that period to domestic manufac-
turers would have ecipsed all records,
and the high record month to date is
S4O00,000 pounds. During the 81 days
of March however, all records for do
mestic deliveries were broken, and the
price of the metal has naturally re-
sponded to this heavy buying.
While the United Metals Selling
price for limited amounts is 16 cents
pound for electrolytic, the company
has sold at 1913 cents, this being the
Itop price reached on this movement.
Price May Still Advance.
What is distinctly encouraging is
the improvement in the demand for
copper Wire This end Of the copper
consuming industry has been tagging
behind, but is now picking up in most
encouraging fashion OF course, the
brass mills and ammunition people are
working night and day to keep up
with the foreign war orders, and the
copper price outlook is distinctly in
favor of higher rather than !ower
r level.
The developments which have been
made during the past year in respect
to ore concentration are revolutionary
| in character, and will mean millions to
the Anaconda, not only in respect to
lowering costs and saving large" GUAM
t titles of the metal heretofore lost but
in making available many millions of
J tons of ore which mignt not otherwise
figure in ore reserve calculations.
? TO illustrate, Anaconda with the
! capital expenditure of hut s5,0O00O0
!. has made possible an Increase Of &c.
G 100000 pounds in annual output by
means of teaching process, and the

\ being installed, to say nothing OF AN

War Prevents Traffic.
Experience thus verifies the predic-
ii
chiefly in bulky traffic of low value
As trade routes have changed to use
the waterway, the tonnage passing
through will doubtless increase and its
character may change radically The
canal was handicapped ct the start by
the fact that it was opened two weeks
after general war began and that
thereby most of the ships which were
its prospective patrons were taken
into military service or shut up in Pc,
When the war ends these ships will be
released and may soon Increase traffic
to the predicted volume.
Total Tolls $2,138,443.
Professor Emery r. Johnson esti-
mated the ships which would use the
canal in the year of opening, 1914-l5,
at 10,50O,OOO tons, but the total for the
first six months indicates total foi
the year of less than half that amount
This falling off gives some idea of the
blighting effect the war has had on
commerce The tolls collected to Feb
ruary Is total $213S,44S. This Is little
more than enough to pay operating
and maintenance expenses which
were estimated at $4,000000 a yea1,
though It was hoped by profit on sale
of supplies to reduce this TO $4,000
Not until commerce is restored to its
normal volume a year or two after
the war can we hope to see the canal
earn any material part of the interest
on it's cost.
