GR EATEST BOOM IN MINING
 HISTORY

Walter V. WOthike, writing in the
 October Review of Reviews of Great
 est Mining Boom in History" says, in
 part:
 Except for temporary disturbance
 due to necessity of readiusting the
 worlds entire industrial structure
 when peace comes, copper interests
 do not expect sharp or prolonged de- pressiOn. Supplying 60 per cent of the worlds production, the United States fears no competitor. Its best customer, Germany, that formerly absorbed more than one-third of the American exports, is in the throes of copper famine. It has used up its stock, and has even confscated i'm mense quantities of manufactured copper. Germany's remarkable cleo tric industry will resume business when peace comes. Stocks of raw and manufactured copper must be replaced, and impending German de- mand, plus domestic consumption, will almost suffice to keep American mines busy.
 "The allied countries, though, are not very much better supplied than their opponents. Owing to unprece- dented price and excessive freights British, French and Italian industries have almost used up their accumu- lated stocks, their purchases being barely a month of current require ments. They likewise must stock up to meet reconstruction needs. Since almost the same situation exists in American copper consuming indus tries, producers are justified in ex- pecting long period of normal pros perity, though far short of present delirious war profits,
 "In warfare copper and its alloys are almost indispensable. Even the pigmy military establishment of the United States in peace times requires pounds of copper annual ly. Hostilities immediately sent cop per consumption sI1yward. Yet the copper industry in the fall of 1915 did not foresee the full extent of impend- ing military demand. When copper from 13 to Il cents mines and smelters curtailed production 40 per cent and prayed for speedy peace. Instead they received long war and a copper boom that dwarfs all gold ;tampedes in mining history."-oat- nan Miner.

WILCOX AT LAST C0NCEDES DEFEAT
 OF COP. NOMINEE
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-William R. Wilcox, chairman of the Re publican national committee, to- night issued the following state ment in reference to Mir. Hughes telegram to President Wilson:
 Having conferred by telephone during the day and late this aft ernoon with the Republican state committee and the Republican national committeeman in Cali fornia, am informed that the official canvass of the vote has been so nearly completed that no change will result in the few pre- cincts not counted in the returns thus far compiled.
 ''This means that the majority for the Wilson electors in Cali fornia ranges from about 1900 to 3SOO votes and that this is the final result of the canvass for which we have been waiting. So far as any recount is concerned, the national committee is not ad- vised that there are sufficient grounds to call for such an appi- cation"

nasty record of the interment was placed.
 A few days ago a woman in deep mourning visited one of the French cemeteries with a handful of white flowers. She was arranging these on one of the French graves when one of the usual little bareheaded process sions with an English chaplain in front, passed by. On the stretcher was a body sewn up in brown army blanket, big Union Jack lying over it. The woman rose, and shyly, with some of the flowers still in her hand, fell in at the rear of the procession. AS the chaplain was reading "dust to dust, and "ashes to ashes", the little French woman was kneeling on the ground. The service over, and the rest turning away, she came close to the grave, dropped the white flowers in, and returned to the other grave em- pity handed.

the Shelton, Eureka, and Pine Noun
 tain. The latter has a production record of $1,0OO,0OO worth of silver gold ore. As with the other mines of the Basin, it's ores will again be commercially valuable when a modern reduction plant is established therein. The cost of transporting ore to the plant via the tram would be nominal, as would likewise be the expense of transporting the concentrates to rail- way via the Poland tunnel. The track and other equipment of the tram and tunnel lines is in a fair state of preservation and could be placed in commission at a not excessive cost.

this shall not happen. With this in
mind, the committee has decided to ar

assigned a leader. These leaders have
not agreed to answer all the questions,
but will endeavor to find some one to
answer them or will see that the mat
ter is discussed. Each leader is au-
