TREMENDOUS COPPER PRODUC.
TON, STAGGERS BELIEF
Mining American:

The profits that have been reaped
the past year by the leading copper
producers Of the country are almost
staggering. We are obliged to read
just our conceptions about mine and
mill capacities and to then couple me-
tallic recoveries with the prevailing
strong copper market before we can
realize the transition that has occur
red. We are now becoming accus-
toned to read the productions of the
big copper companies in hundreds Of
millions Of pounds per year. If these
numbers continue to stretch out, we
may, before long, commence to think
Of copper productions in tons instead
of in pounds. It is expected that, by
the middle of this year, the several
plants Of the Utah, Ray, Chino and
Nevada Consolidated will be turning
out copper at the rate of SOC, ,OO0, 900
pounds year. Such a mass of metal
is too much for our imaginations. It
would perhaps still be hard for US to
comprehend it If we were to change
the units and think Of this output as
ESQ, 900 tons. The Utah Copper Com
pany will soon be excavating, trans
porting and treating fifty thousands
tons Of crude ore per day, or about
eighteen million tons per year. Since
this monzonite-porphyry yields just
about one per cent copper, the COM
pany's daily metallic production will
BE- about 500 tons think Of it, ten
standard gauge carloads Of pure cop
per per day from one companyi Last
month, Ray Consolidated treated ap-
proximately ten thousand tons Of ore
daily and its March production in the
red metal was more than 5000, 900
pounds. Chino is operating on a
scale that will show a production for
1917 Of around 1000, 900 900 pounds Of
copper. In view Of these amazing
capacities, we can readily see wherein
the large companies in this business
could well be patriotic and accommo-
date Uncle Sam in his request for a
cash discount on orders amounting to
only trifle in comparison with the
gross outputs of all the companies.
From the Utah Copper Company's an
nual production Of 800, ,00O, 900 pounds
alone, our government could take its
entire needs and leave the company
the bulk Of its metal to sell to our al
lies at market prices. Nor must we
confine our attention to the porphyry
companies. During 1916, Anaconda
company. operating deep lode mines,
marketed sufficient copper to book a
gross revenue Of over $3.50, 900, 900, Of
which about oDe-third was distributed
as dividends. This revenue was great
er last year than for any three pre-
vious years. So it is all down the cop
per list. Greene Cananea, Calumet &
Hecla, Shattuck 4 Arizona, North
Butte, White Pine-all are selling big
orders 1t war prices. What will the
figures for 1917 show, we wonder? !?

Why rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
By VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, II d.

is that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copioosly of hot water, say, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times a day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. 1t dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. l would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, govt
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ADV.

4 close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon IS it gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, IN turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. = For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
