D. A. B. CHAPTER MEETS.
Entertaining Program at Session of Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter.

Owing to the unpleasant weather Monday afternoon the attendance at the open meeting of Elizabeth Porter Putnam chapter was smaller than us- ual, as this meeting at which every member is permitted to invite a guest Is one Of the much anticipated gath erings of the season
 Mrs. Newton Ballard, the regent, presided and cordially welcomed all. After the report of the recording sec- retary, Miss Mary Wheaton, all other business was tabled until the next regular meeting of the chapter. The programme committee, Mrs Jane F. Perry, Mrs. Mabel c. Johnson and Mrs Cora D. Sharpe then assumed charge of the remainder of the meeting which had been opened by the read ing of the ritual by the regent with the responses read by the chaplain, Mrs. J. B.. Kent, which was followed by repeating the Lords Prayer. Sing ing of America by all was a part of the opening exercises. Miss Catherine Seward, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. F. w. Seward. a musician of unusual talent, played several piano selections most p1easingly.
 J. B. Thrasher,of Naticix, Mass, a di- alect reader of note, occupied the re- mainder of the program, giving. in a most pleasing and fascinating dialect many of Henry Drummond's writings in which she so clevef1y depicts the Canadian Of the northwest. This de- lightful program was followed by a social hour during which the hostess es served fruit salads, waters, cakes. coffee and salted nuts.

COST OF CHRISTMAS TREE Largely Borne by Ten Officers of the Chamber of commerce-committ Discharged.

meeting of the directors was held Friday evening, at which the report of the Community Christmas tree com mittee was received and the commit tee discharged. A vote of thanks was passed to the committee and also to Ralph E. Thurston, Whitman Daniel son. John F. Sabin and all others who gave their services for the project. It had been hoped that the whole affair could be put through by vol- untary effort, and no expense incur red. but this was found impracticable, at least for this year, when the notice was so short. Bills for the tree, the band. printing and the electric lamps and fixtures had to be met. As the chamber of commerce has no funds to apply to this purpose, ten officers of the association raised a subscription among themselves for the full amount. The Putnam Lfgh. and Power Co. connected the lights at considerable inconvenience to the men who did the work. and made no charge for the cur rent used.
 Another meeting was to be held

The prop erty of the Chile Copper company is believed to be the largest dissemin- ated ore body in the world, and in the great teaching and electrolytic plant at Chiquicamata some fea- lures of the methods of ore reduc- tion employed are new and will be of interest to Dr. Ricketts, who is consulting engineer for the New Cor nelia, parallel property.
 Bolivia, the land of the Incas, famed for it's wealth of silver and gold, and possessing important de- posits of copper and iron, also will be visited by Dr. Ricketts. He will sail from New York January 22.

Phoenix, Jan. 10.-Arizona's blue sky law, already one of the most rigid in the country, has been made even more so in it's operation by a recent order of the corporation com mission. The order is designed to insure that the promoters of invest ment companies will not withdraw be- fore such concerns are able to stand on their own feet financially.
 To each permit. now issued the following clause is attached:
 This permit is granted conditioned that the stock issued for property shall be pooled and not sold, mort gagged, assigned or offered for sale until the stock authorized to be sold by this permit is fully sold and the proceeds therefrom have been paid into the treasury of the company. Any violation of the conditions men, toned in the above shall render the permit void."

l915 PRODUCTION IF COPPER BREAKS
 RECORD

The production of copper in the United States in 1915 passed all previous records, according to the United States geological survey. Pre- liminary figures and estimates have been collected by B. s. Butler, who has received reports from all plants known to produce blister copper from domestic ores and refined copper. At an average price of about 17.3 cents pound the output for 1915 has value of $230,00O,000, compared with $152 ,96S,000 for the output for 1914. i The figures showing smelter pro- duction from domestic ores represent the actual production of most of the companies for II months and an estimate of the output for December. The figures of a few companies for November were not available, and these companies furnished estimates l for the last two months of the year. mates received, the output ob blister and Lake copper was 1865, 5,500,0 900 pounds in 1915, against 1,150,1 000 pounds in 1914.
 1 The output of refined copper from primary sources, domestic and foreign, for 1915 is estimated at 1,647, 100000 pounds, compared with 1,533, 7S1 900 pounds in 1914 and with the previous record production of 1,615,000,000 pounds in 1913.
 1 Foreign and Domestic Consumption According to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, the imports i of all forms of unmanufactured cop per for the first 10 months of 1915 amounted to 265 5,677,612 pounds This compares with an import for the l12 months of 1914 of 306, ,350, ,S27 pounds
 i The exports of pigs, ingots, bars, plates, sheets, rods, wire, etc, for the i first 10 months of 1915 as determined ! by the bureau of foreign and domes- tic commerce, amounted to 529,321,- iS70 pounds, compared with an export for the 12 months of 1914 of S40,000,- 900 pounds.
 i At the beginning of 1915 there was about 173,O00,000 pounds of refined copper in stock in the United States. This quantity added to the refinery production gives total available SUD- ply of about 1920 100000 pounds Of refined copper. On subtracting from this amount the exports for the first 10 months and the estimated export for the last two months, it is appar- ent that the supply available for do- mestic consumption is materially greater than the I'll ,624,000 pounds of 1914, no account being taken of stocks held at the close of the year.
 Higher Prices in 1915
 The average price of copper for 1915 showed a marked increase over that of the preceding year, being about 17.3 cents a pound, compared with 13.3 cents in 1914
 At the beginning of the year the price was relatively low, but steadily advanced until it reached a maximum of about 20 cents a pound near the middle of the year. During the last half of the year the price remained uniformly high.
 Arizona made a record production considerably exceeding the previous record production of 404,000,000 lbs.

After spending several days in Fl Paso last week in an effort to secure a proposition from the mine managers of this district, who have been domiciled at the Paso del Norte hotel for the past three months, Hen ry Hill and R. R. Webster, acting as independent mediators, returned to Clifton on Sunday evening last. s-
 As a result of their efforts Messrs. Hill and Webster were handed a con- munication from the managers on Saturday afternoon last, setting forth certain conditions under which oper- ations would be resumed.
 The following communication, which sets forth the position of the mine managers, was this afternoon printed in circular form and is being distri- buted throughout the district in both English and Spanish.
 The situation in brief is that the managers request their employees to return to work, promising them in turn conference at an early date regarding any grievance or any ques- tions they may see fit to present.
 The latest proposition from the mine managers in view of the events of the week, is as follows:
 Fl PaSo, Texas, Jan. 8, 1916. Addressed to Messrs. Henry Hill and
 Reece Webster:
 Conditions Under Which Work Will
 Be Resumed in the CIifton-Morenci
 District:
 If charters of Western Federation of Miners locals in Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf are surrendered in good faith, and the Managers are assured that the influence of outside agita- tors is eliminated, and that the men are prepared to return to work on the present wage-scale, which will be extended to meet the increased price of copper, then the Managers are prepared to start operations as soon as possible.
 1t is understood that all worknen employed by the companies will re- ceive full and adequate protection.
 The Managers agree that no indi- viduals of any nationality will be barred from re-employme because of. their connection with the strike movement except those who have been guilty of acts of violence, and for this latter reason no more than ten will be discriminated against by the three companies.
 The Managers agree that upon re- sumption Of operations and condltlonS becoming normal, they will meet con- mittees of their employees with a view to adjusting any grievances or considering any questions which the employees may wish to bring up, the intention of the Managers being to make conditions as satisfactory as possible for the employees.
 The table below shows the rates of wages received by the principal classes of employees for the period August 18th to September 18th of last year together with the rates which will be paid to the same class es of labor in January of this year if work is resumed, and as the price of copper today is "A cents we have shown the wages which will be paid to the same classes of labor when that price takes effect: .re Copper Selling at 18c q
