MINING, AGRICULTURE
TWO BASIC INDUSTRIES
STAND OUT ABOVE ALL OTHERS
AS THE BACKBONE OF THE
WORLDS BUSINESS.

There are two great backbone in
dustries, says the Mining Congress
Journal They are mining and agri-
culture Agriculture in the United
States receives $2S,OOO,0O0 worth of
federal aid each year. Mining re-
ceives something over $1,0OO,OO0. 1t is
evident that this is not equitable. Why
does such disproportion exist?
There are various reasons. Princi-
pal among them is the fact that agri-
culture is widely distributed activ-
ity. There are few congressman in
the house Of representatives who are
not from districts in which farming
is conducted extensively. On the 9TH
er hand, mining is an industry that Is
concentrated. 1t is confined to GER
tain limited mineralized areas. 1t
creates nearly as much new wealth as
does agriculture, but it takes up less
ground in it's operations. For this rea-
son representatives from districts in
which mining is conducted always are
in the minority
In the senate the result is the same,
although there is no state in the union
in which no mining is conducted. Sen
ators are charged to look after the
interests of the state at large, but in
many states mining is of such com
narrative unimportance that little at
tention is paid to it.
Laws Favor the Farmer.
This is the main reason why agri-
culture gets 20 times the appropria-
ton allowed to mining. There is nc
reason why the relationship should
, continue so disproportionate. The
minority is not powerless. In fact, the
last congress demonstrated that the
minority could accomplish a grea
deal when 1t set about it determinedly
Mining districts must be very care
full in the selection of their represen
tatives. They must have men whit
are able and determined. They mus
be the never-tire sort who will figh
for the equal recognition of mining
This is not to be interpreted as mean
ling that the mining districts are no
we'll represented in congress at tn
present. Some of the most able mel
lin the body come from the mineraliz
ed sections of the country.

Copper, Lead and Spelter--A Discus
sion of The Present Situation and
What the Outlook for the Future

without any doubt copper is, from
the standpoint of the producers, in a
more brilliant position than ever was
known before. The producers are sold
far ahead, at prices ranging from 20
to % cents per pound, and are insured
a fine average for 1916, no matter
what happens. Unsold stocks of re-
fined copper in their hands are practi-
cally at the irreducible minimum, and
consequently there is a large premium
for immediate and nearby delivery.
The immense sales recently consum-
mated are spread over the remainder
of this year, and upon the present
basis of output there is relatively little
unsold copper for the second half Of
1916.
The development of this situation
naturally led domestic manufacturers
to become nervous and has recently
induced them, in some cases, to con-
tract for copper in excess of the orders
for manufactured products that they
have yet on their books. This is nat
urally a risky thing for them to do,
for they are simply making gamble
on the market. However, the situa-
ton is such that some of the most
conservative producers have advised
their customers to do this. This
should not be interpreted as indicating
conditions that will create buyers
panic. On the contrary the produc
ton of copper is increasing steadily
and largely, and especially are there
being important increases in refining
facilities. Consequently, as the year
yet contracted for will become avail
able, but the present outlook is that
it will command a higher price than at
present. Disregarding the copper for
nearby delivery, which is sold only
in trifling quantities and already com
mands large premium, it is probable
that we shall ere long see the major
market in the neighborhood of 80 cents
per pound, perhaps higher.
Lead.
The position in lead is always diff
ferent from that of any of the other
important metals, for the reason that
Very large part of the production
goes into consumption on the basis of
average price contracts So large
part of the domestic consumption be-
ing thus taken care of, the effects of
a special demand for the surplus, or
vice versa, a pressure to sell it, Is
always magnified. This was illustrat-
ed recently when an exceptional de-
mand developed from Russia and ia
pan and resulted in raising the out
side market to s cents both in New
York and ST. Louis The largest pro-
Queer, recognizing the ephemeral char
acter of this and desiring to maintain
the equilibrium between domestic pro-
duction and consumption upon a
sound basis, refused to advance its
price to the figures prevailing in the
outside market, although If it had

to aid these men by pointing out spe-
cial places where legislation is needed.
We try to add to their enthusiasm
for more just recognition of mining.
We always have found these men
grateful for such assistance as we
have been able to give them. They,
too, are very quick to do anything
that they think will better the mining
industry.
Mining Needs Government Aid.
1t must be remembered, however,
THAT congressman represent all the
people. They have to look after the
farmer, the manufacturer and all 9TH
ers who contribute to our composite
industrial fabric. Consequently if the
needs of the mining industry are pre-
sented to them in condensed and cas-
lily assimilated form 1t is more GER
tain to receive early attention, as the
manifold duties of a representative
put premium on each minute of his
time.
This gives an intimation OF one of
the ways in which the mining con-
gress is aiding those having mining
interests.
The American Mining congress is
very determined that the mining in
dustry shall receive more assistance
from the government. 1t is going to
use every honest, above-board means
possible to increase the appropriations
which benefit the mining interests 1t
is a big task, but cooperation has
made easy work of much greater UNI
dertakings.

Spelter.
In the case of none of the important
metals have commercial conditions
been so utterly disrupted as with
! speter. This follows from a variety
of factors-the narrow margin of
stocks with which the business is con-
Quoted, the ease with which new con-
Germs can enter the business, the
riotous competition among producers,
/ the contractual relations between min
ers and smelters, and especially the
great discrimination among different
kinds of spelter that has been pro-
duced by military buying. When
spelter rose to previously unknown
heights, about a year ago. the. common
prophecy of the experts was that a
collapse would come soon and that
spelter would probably be down to
IS and cents per pound by the end
of 1915, the reason being the great
increase in production that was being
stimulated. Up to the present time
the prophets have been proved wrong,
but the future will show that they
were wrong only with respect to their
estimate of time.
The Future.
The statistics of this industry are
the handwriting on the WALL The
production of spelter in the fourth
quarter of 1915 was so per cent larger
than in the first quarter. There is
no other Of the great metal industries
in which such a thing could be achieV
ed. 1t could not be done in iron, or in
copper, or in lead. The production of
spelter is still increasing at an enor-
nous rate. Perhaps the only restrain
ing factor is the shortage of ocean
carrying capacity, which makes it
troublesome to bring hither ore from
foreign countries, but up to the pre-
sent time shippers and importers
have succeeded in worrying along
with that situation. 1t is only ques
ton of time when the increasing pro-
duction of spelter is going to exceed
the demand for it and is going to
break the market. This is manifest
ly the reason why producers are so
anxious to sell far ahead and are will
ling to make such great differences in
price in order to do so. Within re-
cent weeks we have witnessed spelter
sold in large quantities for the second
quarter of 1916 and the second half
of 1916 at a difference of cents per
pound in the price. The fact that no
such condition exists in the cases of
either iron, or copper or lead, is in
itself sufficient food for reflection.
