British Inland Waterways
Number Over 900 Miles

There are over 1000 miles Of inland
waterways in Britain, and II these
were organized on a modern basis much
of the congestion on the railways could
be relieved. IL is possible TO travel
from London TO Manchester by canal,
and it is only the antiquated methods
employed which make the undertaking
not a commercial success. In the mat
ter OF canal making China led the
world. and even to-day she stands first
among the nations for the skilful utlll-
cation OF her inland waterways. One
of the latest canals in Britain was con-
structed at the time of Napoleon, when
the Hythe military canal was built, so
as 10 cut off Romney Marshes from the

Labor Troubles
Add to Cost of

Shattuck Arizona Reports
Drop in Output and
Smaller Profits

Owing TO labor difficulties and the
rising prices Of materials the cost Of
production of the Shsttuck Arizona
Copper Company increased almost a
cent per pound of copper in the three
months ended June 80 last. The quar-
terly operating statement issued yes
terday showed a surplus available for
dividends Of s660,73 equal to sl.ss a
share for the three months on $780,
600 Of capital stock of $40 par value.
or an annual rate of 1882 share.
This compared with an annual rate OF
s7.ss share in 1916.
The strike and conditions preceding
it caused slump in the tonnage mined
at the company's property Total re-
covering for the quarter amounted TO
3,s24,297 pounds Of copper, compared
with 4,3S6,592 pounds in the preceding
quarter. The net operating cost per
pound OF refined copper was 1899
cents, compared with 11.34S cents in
the previous three months.
The report says: "0n June q pro-
duction was cut off entirely by the call
ing Of strike by the Metal and Mine

An official of the company states that
the miners are returning to work and
that it is quite likely that production
will be brought up to normal in the
near future.

French Coal Output Increase

An increase in coal production in the

report from the American Vice-Consui'
has been made possible by readiust-

Advance in Marine Rates Causes No
Surprise. - The announcement from
Washington yesterday that tho govern
ment war risk insurance rates on both
hulls and cargoes would be advanced
from to 6R per cent after August Is
apparently created no surprise among
local marine underwriters. II appeared
TO be the prevailing opinion that the
raise in rates was created not so much
on account of the reported increasing
menace of the U-boats as it was by
reason of a gradual working out Of the
required premium rate necessary to
charge in order to make the Federal
bureau self-sustaining.
The new rates as announced went
into effect on all risks assumed yester-
day, but insurance brokers were au-
thorized to assure clients that in event
of ships sailing on or before August II
the additional u per cent collected
will be refunded. In event of delay in
sailing until after that date the full
new rate will be retained.
