1916 output will run between 50,000.-
 900 and 55,000,0 900 lbs. turned out at an
 average cost of not far from 9is cts. a pound. The new production. will come from a combination of i'm provements and enlargements at the mill and mine. The mill capacity
 will probably be increased through
 the addition of another section pr two, for which provision was made in the original layout Metallurgical improvements will also play an i'm portant part in increasing production. Tie American Zinc. Lead X Smelt- ing Co. will without doubt. report earnings of over S9,0o0,00 in 1916. This, of course, includes profits from the recently acquired Granby proper
 ty. This is equivalent to sf5 per share on the common, after s6 is paid , on S0000 shares of preferred out standing. At the present time the company is earning about s560.O00 net month. Prime western spelter is ! selling for about 10l4 cts. pound and on the Company's high grade Mascot prices range all the way from 1 fl to 20 cts. a pound. On the basis of monthly profits of S5o0.000. or 1 s6,000000 a year. American Zinc com
 mon is today earning sS0 per share on its 19S.000 common shares.

genious makeshifts. To get the ore out at the least possible cost, with the utmost speed and leave ;he prop erty opened up in a Workmanlike manner. such necessity is often the mother of invention, says the Mining X Engineering World.
 In Utah there has been formed d corporation that has for it's purpose the leasing, bonding and operating of blocks of ground or entire prop critics It is known as the Mines De- velopment O., is close corpora ton and has no stock for sale. Per haps the following is one reason:
 Its manager is man whose life to date has been spent in prospecting and leasing. Recently the company took q bend and lease covering a period of 3 years on four claims To- cated 2 miles from Lund, Utah. The group is in an unorganized min ing district with all that that i'm plies.
 Before leaving Salt Lake City for the property the manager ordered q hoist shipped to the property, and was informed that he wonld get the same according to schedule. At tEe property few days later the team stsrs delivering supplies gave the manager Q message informing nm that it would be impossible to deliver the hoist for at least months. Therc were the usual excuses, but wlat raised misgivings in the managers mind was a note added by the sec retarv to the effect that all of the machinery houses were behind on orders and that the outlook Was dark.
 After thinking it over the manager decided that d whim was entirely too slow, the haul from the railroad meant high prices for horse feed if he installed the old type of whim-- he was right then having his troubles getting hauling done-and for awhile he was in a quandary. The principal value in the ore was lead and lead might begin to drop in price al any time.
 And then he thought of the auto mobile So he immediately started building a roadway from the shaft When 1t was leveled up he attached the cable to the rear end Of the automobile, passed it under a sheave wheel at the collar of the shaft, over the sheave wheel at the top of the headframe and down the shaft where the bucket was attached.
 II does the hoisting in q rapid and efficient manner at very small cosf, and he is getting out the ore faster he says. than he could by hoistins it.

Inspiration Copper

The loss of 550,000 pouncs in the output of the Inspiration Consolidated Copper Co. in october from the total reported in September was larger than had been looked for. Although inter ests close to the management did not expect the production to be as large as the ll,S5Oo00 pounds reported in the previous month, they were of the opinion that the October total would exceed that for August. which was II .450000
 However. officials of the company expressed themselves as pleased with the showing in view of the fact that the total of ll,300,000 pounds is still con- siderably in excess of the estimates made early this year of the capacity of the company, IL will be recalled that the officials of the company at that time stated that the output, when operations were going along at eapac- ity, would be at the rate of 120, ,000, 900 and 125,0O0, 900 pounds per annum. The October outturn. however, was at the rate of 135,600,0 900 pounds per year. or more than 10,000.000 pounds in excess of the estimates.
 Thus far in 1916 the production of the Inspiration company has been 99. . s93,SS pounds. With outputs in No- vember and December equal to the October total, or 22. 500. 900 pounds for both months, the outturn for the year will be approximately 121. 500, GOO pounds. This is remarkable when it Is recalled that up to April last the production was below 10000. 900 pounds, monthly. having been but slightly in excess Of 5,35O.000 pounds Tn January and less than 5000. 900 pounds in February

demand continues of record propor- tions. The great stimulus to the indus try, of course, is the war; and indirect ly the greater part of the demand may be attributed to the war as much of the domestic demand would not have de- veloped except for the increased pros- perity based upon war business.
 It is difficult to discriminate between war orders and those for purely do- nestle requirements and it is not necessary to do so While the war de- mand will cease with the termination of hostilities. it will be replaced by an active. and probably equal demand from Europe for other purposes so that it is expected that there will be little di- intuition in the demand for copper for some time after the war. The pros- perity of the United States will not end with the war and while we will not be manufacturing munitions, we will be manufacturing other products for Europe.
 The outlook TOT the metal market certainly is rosy. It is not to be ex- pected that the current nigh prices will be maintained indefinitely, and it is not desirable that they should be, but for years to come in all probability, copper will sell well above the average of recent years and at a level that will assure large profits to the producers.
 Steps are being taken to increase the copper refining capacity in the United States, but thig will take a long time, and this is not likely to have any marked effect upon the price of cop per for at least d year or two. The mining companies can increase their outputs with comparatively little work. and in short time, but there is no ob- ject in mining and milling more ore if the refineries cannot handle the pro- duct and make it available for con- sumers.

 Greene's copper production amount to

 13 cts. a pound. Despite this cost
 Greene must be showing profits of about s70000Q per month. The Adams. in this same section, will soon begin lateral work. and as its surface showing is spectacular. interesting developments are expected

 But what is more apt to kindle the imagination is the possibility that this vein will again be encountered at low CT levels. Assuming that it is encount- cred on the 2000-foot. level Magma Copper interests assert it would make value of S100 per share for the stock appear conservative.
