scarcely more notable than are the per-
formances Of the smelters and rehneries
producing copper. The year 1915, how
ever. will fail to establish new high
levels OF production az a whole be-
cause OF the relatively low state of
plant activities during the FIRST and
second quarters OF the year. Only IN
exceptional instances will the unap-
| preached statistical record Of 1913 be
eclipsed by the Developments Of the
calendar year OF 1918. The activities
In the last half Of 1915 and the first
half OF 1915, however. are likely to
