 The increased activity in business which developed in 1a15," said Judge Gary on this point lbund the mills and properties in satisfa ctory con- ditlon to handle the large demand promptly and efficiently Due to this condition a relatively lesser amount of expenditures was required for or Glnary and current maintenance, all though operations were about thirty three per cent. greater than in 1914. The total maintenance and replace rrents costs was $43,266,643, de- cline of S2,005.951 from the preceding years expenditures. The corpora tion set aside from gross income s72,- 957, 7,9S7 to cover depreciation of r1ants and the exhaustion of mining properties, against $64,S47,e41 in 1914.

Paul Nelson of Hartford, Picked Up on Street and Turned Over to Police

Paul Nelson, A years old, of IS Sheldon street, Hartford, was picked up on the street last night by Fred Crowley and turned over to Officer William Grace, who took the boy to police headquarters where he was held until his folks came for him.
 The Nelson boys case is most pathetic one. The boy is simple minded and is an epipletic. He is un- able to talk and wandered away from his home yesterday.

 Q-So you agreed to recommend this machine before you ever got 1t :? Al knew all about the machine.
 Q-You say you hadn't received the machine? Al received it that day when I sent that (the above contract) and looked it over.
 Then Charles Kennedy and R.

Kennedy said Val O'Farrell has 1 many friends along Broadway, and | one of them, in the New Amsterdam | tbeater, promised to forward to his office any mail received which was addressed "E. H. Valentine, 214 West 1 Forty-second street"
 This violet ray machine, so extol1ed 1 by pr. Diedling, is little known throughout the medical profession, according to pr. Issac s. Hirsch ra- diographer of Bellevue and Post Graduate hospitals. Yesterday he said he knew nothing about this machine. At the Victor Electric company, 110 East Twenty third street, it was said

 At his home, in Saugerties, last night pr. Diedling sought to disprove his guillibility and that he swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker. "I knew all the time it was a frame-up," he said "A friend of mine went to New York City and found Valentine at 214 West Forty-second street, and I learned therefore that they were trying to get something on me.

New York, March 17-Dr. Rudolph

 Of Val O'Farrell, the detective, ac- | cording to disclosures made yester- 1 day.
 l Newspaper men and others who l heard pr. Diedling's testimony in
 White Plains Thursday regarding his l indorsement of violent ray machine which is supposed to cure various ai1- ments were convinced that trap
 had been set for the commissioner. Investigation proved the truth of their suspicious.
 Charles Kennedy, of BOP Broadway, admitted he acted for Val OFarrell in the plot and told of it's successful outcome. O'Farrell was mysteriously silent; he refused to admit anything. MT. Kennedy grinned when he was questioned and said they wished to "show up'' Diedling. As the Prison Commissioner is also a physician. it was decided to invent the bogus Wal entine Sales company, 214 West Forty second street, dealers in violet ray machines" This address in reality is the New Amsterdam theater.
 Then E. R. Valentine. and O'Farrell operative, wrote Dr. Diedling that he had come from upstate to this city to become agent for the Valentine Sales company" and while stopping at a hotel in Saugerties, N. Y, Died ling's home town, inquired who was the best physician in that community. He said he was informed by all that Dr. Diedling occupied that enviable position.
 DiedIing to Get Commission.
 Therefore, Valentine wrote, he was anxious that Dr. Diedling accept one of these violet ray machines, which are used for several old ailments, and indorse it as an excellent cure for certain ills of the flesh. pr. Diedling, the story goes, appeared at once amenable to business on condition that he receive 20 per cent. on the sales of the machines resulting from his recommendation A contract was drawn up on Biltmore hotel station cry. This contract, signed by Died ling and Valentine, was produced in court Thursday by MT Battle, of counsel for Mir. Osborne.
 Dated February 21, 1916, it reads: T, R. Diedling, hereby acknowledge receipt of one (mentioning the violet ray machine) from E. H. Valentine, of 214 West Forty-second street. New York City, N. Y, This machine is given me gratis with the understand ing that I am to recommend this make of machine to any person who writes or telephones to me regarding my opinion of it. It is also under stood that I am to receive 20 per cent commission on the sale of any such machine when such sale is made my recommendation of it. This agreement is to be effective for at least three months from date. Commissions to be paid immediately upon receipt of payment for the ma chine.

Their plans included the con struction of plant to cost $2,00O, 900, to employ 2,OOO men. and the refores- tation of the land from which the timber was obtained. These men found both water power and timber abundantly sufficient for their pur- poses, but their failure to secure the necessary guarantee of fixed title for a number of years compelled them to abandon their project. It can not be doubted, however, that with the pas sage of a reasonable water power leasing bill large capital would be at tracted to Alaska for investment in industrial enterprises.

PRODUCTION OF TIN IN
 ALASKA MINES

The total production of Alaskan tin mines since the industry started in 1902 is about $50 tons of metallic tin, valued at S3sO,OO6 In 1914 one dredge was operated on the Buck creek placer tin deposits throughout the open season. The others were operated for a part of the season on Anikovik river, working on deposits carrying both gold and tin. Opera tions were also continued and some tin produced on the Lost River lode tin mine. All these localities are in Seward peninsula. Tin was also pro duced from several deep placer mines in the Hot Springs district, operated chiefly for the recovery of gold. It is estimated that nearly 50 tons of stream tin was recovered from these placers in 1914. This output could be considerably increased, for only a few of the miners make a system atic attempt to recover the tin.

THEFUTURE OF COPPER ASSURED
 GROWING DEMAND YEARS T0 COME

The question of outlet for the enormous copper production of this country for the next several years is a matter of very serious discussion and the expression of much opinion pro and con. It is somewhat difficult to eVade the ultra -bearish opinions of the would-be purchasers of copper, Or. the ultra -bullish opinion of those pur- chasers who have many months ahead at extremely high prices.
 The views of the men in the copper camps are of material interest, which prompts us to publish herewith an analysis of the copper situation by a prominent mining financial writer of Butte, Mont. The opinion comes from one who has been intimately associat- ed with the copper field for many years and whose opinions have always been marked 5v conservatism.
 Pure copper is used in the manufac- ture of munitions for only two pur- poses-the primer of shells and the expansion ring that follows the riflng of the gun discharging the shell The amount of copper used for this pur pose is infinitesimally small compared tO the general production.
 "A compilation of the uses to which copper is put in the arts and idustries fills an exceedingly large volume, in- cludinc the manufacture of wires. brass, bronze. sheet copper. tubes, etc. -an infinite variety of useful pur- poses to which different manufactured shapes and alloys are devoted. There are more than a billion and 9 quar;s' pounds of copper in telephone and telegraph wires in the world. In the single long distance circuit between Co at tFf-4iY about 6.000.000 pounds of copper. In the identification of the 25 miles of the Butte Anaconda X Pacific rail- way fetWecn Butte and AnacOnda there was used l1.S00 pohnds of cop per per mile. while in tho electrifica- tion If the ChicaeO.

have distributed ;he enormous sum of l,167 ,C5S,079.
 Great as the profits mentioned above they represent only a part of the enormous wealth that was taken out of the mines during the half year of 1916. If it were possible to compute the enormous profits that are regu larly distributed by the many private ana close corporations, which are di rectly interested in the mineral indus try, the fact would be empha sized that fabulous wealth is being created by American mines and metallurgical works. To report annually an outpat of minerals in excess of $2,0O0, 900, 900 and a dividend record that will ap proximate s300.000.000 in 1916 is rec. ord to feel proud of
 Stockholders are not alone in shar- ing these vast profits earned by the mineral industry in 1916 for labor also was greatly benefited, mining companies having been generous in increasing wages to the extent of

copper that has gone into war muni- tions since the declaration of Mlr has been considerably less than the amount which would have been furn- ished to the market of which the United States has thus been deprived
 Ano her iallacy is that the export business has tremendously increased on account of shipments of copper to the allies. According to government figures the total exports of copper during 1915 amounted to about oS1,- 000,0cG pounds, as against S0,000, 900 in 1914, Sl7,000, GOO in 1913 and 155. 000,000 in 1912. In 1915 :herc was less copper exported from the United States to Europe than in any year since 1910. Of course. in addition to the raw copper exported, very large quantity was exported in the shape of manufactured munitions, the exact amount of which is not oDtainabla
 From these facts the conclusion is reached that the end of the war will not witness any great recession in the demand for copper. At present cv- crything in the copper industry is run at high speed and under full press
