COPPER CONSUMPTION

The most powerful proof that the enofmous copper production of 1915 and l9lG is consumed in this country in the Industries of peace, and is not going abroad for war purposes, is fur AlShed by government export statiS- .ics just released. The dry figures show S400000o0 pounds of copper eX- ported in 1914 (and 2S,000.00 pounds of brass, which is two thirds copper) Exports in 1915 were down to 6S2, ,000. : c00 pounds of copper and 7S000, ,600 l.ounds of brass. Net shipments of cop Der declined 124 .000, ,000 pounds in 1915. hut the :ull significance of the glutton- ouS domestic consumption is only real lzed when it :s pointed out that total consumption, domestic and foreign in- creased in 270,000.

A STUPENDOUs TOTAL.

The extraordinary prosperity of the copper and zine mining companies of tle United States reflected when eight companies met and declared dividends :ggregating $11.0 ,G22 payable between March 2l and March T. Three months lefore the same companies paid only SS 0l .76G for the previous quarter, and q ar ago the same eight companies distributed $2.511, 723. or less than 25 ,tr cent of the profits which were ,tSterdaY ordered to te disburSed.
 The crop of s11,03s. .O22 in dividends for a single day breaks all records in the worlds mining industry.
 These dividends apply on earnings of the various companies in the final quarter of the year 1915. In that quarter earnings :n all cases were very considerably higher than the dividends ordered paid. and in several cases the profits were actually double or more the disbursements just ordered.
 At the present time, and during tho first quarter of 1916, the profits of all the companies, without single ev- ception, are more than double the eX traordinarily fat dividends ordered paid yesterday and on Tuesday, and a fur ther increase in copper dididendS is slated for the next quarter.
 As the companies have already sold their output into the third quarter of 1916, a drop in the price of the metals would not affect dividends ir lNe first half vear-assuming such a thing as drop in the price of the met ;.lS

 Neither is the ravenOus demand for copper and zinc. for war purposes.

ARIZONA STATE BUREAU OF
 MINES

The innumerable numOer of samples that are being sent to the State Bureau of Mines for determination evidence the fact that the prOspectors of the state are busy, and from the determina- tions of these samples the prospec- tor is finding something. Many of these samples, however arrive in poor condition or improperly labelled, and in order to give the greatest service the bureau desires to make some sug- gestions
 It is better ;o send the material for determination in the shape of a speci- man rather than a crushed sample as tho latter are not satisfactory for qualitative blow pipe determinations. These specimanS should be fresh and | unaltered as possible. as it is much more difficult to determine minerals | when they are partially decOmposed. With a little more care on the part ! of the prOspector, the service will be 1 better. Samples should be marked on the outside with the name of the 1 sender, and should be addressed to the l Arizona State Bureau of Mines The letter accompanying should not be en- l closed as this is contrary to postal ! laws.
 It seems to be very much misunder- 1 stood what the Bureau is able to do. ! The Bureau is allowed to make gratis l qualitative determinations where the sample is given a petrogra phical or mineralogical name. It is also with in no of d. definite questions, if these questions can be answered without an essay The questions 'Is copper present? 2" 'Is molybdenum present." Are nitrates present." are permissible as well as any of the minerals which do not re- quire an assay, but to find out whether CT not gold and silver is present ne- cessitates assaying. This would be nl competition with the legitimate bus- ness of the state. and is therefore pro- hibited by state law being done free Many inquiries ask the commercial value of rocks. but this also neces sitates ass3ying, as the commercial | value of rocks involves quantitative rather than qualitative work.
 In some cases samples are received with a request to determine the pres ence of a large number of minerals Recently one was sent in for a quail tative test for some IS metals This individual case would have cost the state 90 or 40 dollars, which is ot course unreasonable. Questions rel ative to geology further extension of ore depth of shaft, etc. cannot pos sibly be answered from the eXamina tion of hand speciman.
 The State Bureau of Mines wisha' the people to know the limitations ot
 it's work and to appreciate that while
 it is ready and willing to do every.
 thing possible to serve them, ther, are some things beyond it's reach. w.
