Demand for Copper Causes
 ActiOity In Michigan Mines

The new year has started out with heavy production the hrst week for practically all Of the mines Of this district, unusually Uig shipments Oi lock to the mills going nom most or the mines after the Sunday and New Years holiday, says Homer A. Guck in the Houghton Mining Gazette. The big rotary snow-plows were out for the first time the fore part of the week, cutting through the drifts that last weeks sstorm piled up on the tracks in the hollOws and which have all now been cleared away. The cur tailment Of rock shipments was very slight and has practically been made up, following the storm, as all of the mines had sufficient cars and bin room for storage purposes to care for the output that could not be moved during the storm. The rail- roads are having more trouble be- cause of the extreme cold than be cause Of the snow, as the frost tends to bind the wheels, much the same as do set brakes, and in some cases it has been necessary to send small CT trains to the mills.
 Mill Bins Full
 The mill bins are being kept full, however, and on several occasions of late. cars of rock have had to stand waiting outside the mills because of lack of room in which to dump the product Every possible effort is be- ing made to keep production going forward at top notch and the prom ise of record production for a sin gle month will likely be fulfilled this month. Rock has never gone for ward in the volume it is now moving. Many of the mines are working much of their poorer bearing ground, along with their best, taking advantage Of the ruling high prices offered for the metal to make the poorer portions Of their properties pay not only eXpens- es but also dividends. Much rock that runs from Il to F or 14 pounds in copper, only, is being mined in some parts of the district for this req son. This is ground that would. at some mines at least, hardly be touch ed if copper was selling at any point under 15 cents a pound.
 Ahmeek Big Factor
 The holidays seem to have very slight effect on the production, al though a lessening of efficiency was generally looked for around the Christmas and New Year season be- cause of celebrations among the men. All the mines suspended operations both on Christmas and New Years. however.
 The Ahmeek continues to be a big factor in the days interest in this district. On eight different days last month this mine sent shipments of 109 cars or more each day to the mills and reached total of 123 cars one day. the largest size cars carry ing from B to 60 tons. being used Ahmeek's rock is running very high in copper and it's shares are looked upon as among the best for invest ment in the copper market Ahmeek is steadily opening new ground and

carrying on construction work or put tias mo place equipment that will hep towards increased production m the not distant future. The company has bis extent of territory, too, that Is as yet untouched. It IS a mine in which the people of the Michigan copper country have the greatest faith.
 Output Increases
 The Mohawk is likeneG by many to the Anmeek and, following this line of argument, the new seneca is receiving a lot of interest ana great success is predicted tor it. Ahmeek last month sent to the mills, in round figures. 124,0OO to 125,OvO tons of rock, the product of the Mohawk dur ing the same period being 67,5S5 tons. Mohawk is compelled to use the smaller sized cars for the greater part Mohawk is steadily increasing its output but is aDoUt up to mill ca pacity right now.
 OsceOla Consolidated made a splen- did record last month, milling about 154,0G0 tons of rock from both the Old Osceola and the Kearsarge branches The bulk of the prOduc- tiOn, of course, comes from the two Kearsarges, north and south. At Old Osceola it has been impossible. as yet. to put No. shaft 10 work and No. 6 is doing all the hOisting and mining. No. commands a good ex- tent of territory and rich reserves upon which the company can depend for a good production at any time mining is resumed there. Osceola is operating very cheaply at both branches. More men could be used at the Old Osceola branch
 Isle Roysle
 The Isle ROyale has just closed a great month. sending an estimated product of S1,OO0 tons of rock to its own and the Point Mills plants. re- covery being better than 13 pounds of copper per ton of rock. Isle Roy esAN To oAONAAAc SANsRt AAAAHAOf over a year ago and should do still better throughout the present year. The south side of the property is eX- pected to send out a constantly in creasing production.
 The Calumet & Hecla's production last month is reported to have run from 10.300 to 10.SGO tons a day. the latter mark being exceeded once or twice. Total production of rock for the month is estimated at 263.00O tons. averaging better than 24 pounds of copper per ton. This is about nor nal tor the big company but should be slightly exceeded this month un- less serious storms interfere with rock hauling
 Quincy Production
 What is true Of the Calumet X Hec- la regarding probable increase in out put for January is true of the Copper Range and. likely, of the Quincy. The rock output of the Copper Ranges three mines for last month is report ed very high in copper. The Quincy is credited with sending approximate ly 49.0O0 tons of rock to the mill from its three operating shafts.

The Best Man Comes to the Top

Many youngster who enters the war as a
private is coming out wearing his shoulder
straps
And many an officer who wears the straps
now will be retired before America has been IN
the many months.
We will be no exception to Great Britain and
France. Efficiency and ability are going to WIN
The man who lacks them will be found out soon.
Englands experience is good proof OF the
old saw that the best comes to the top.
The re-organizations which she has carried
out in all departments, the number of heads that
have come off, the number of hitherto I'M
lnowns who have gone to the top, prove the
truth of the observation.
Premier Lloyd George proves the point.
He is exemplifying it every day.
The man that can do things is getting the exc
cutive's job and the man who has the title and
not the brains is getting the discharge.
Recently Lloyd George elevated Eric Geddes
to the post of First Lord of the Admiralty. He
did not pick distinguished and aristocratic poll
tician for the job, but took square-jawed en-
gineer who had gotten his start in the United
States.
Geddes knew railroading from the bottom up.
He proved it by handling traffic under war time
stress in England, by Strengthening out the con-
gestion of the French system, by handling the
war shipping from the Isles to the continent.
The appointment of Geddes to a high post in
the British cabinet is illuminating proof that the
world rewards men who knows and can do.
Many men believe they know and will tell you
they know, but fall down miserably in their daily
tasks.
The man who can do his daily work better
than his associates who has eye on the job ahead
and trains for it long before vacancy exists, is
the man who will gain the promotion.

U-Boat Failure

Lloyd Georges statement the failure of
U-Boat activity is the first official utterance on
this menace that has contained an element of
cheer. Last April saw the submarines doing ire
In June the losses fell to $4,000 TONS and at the
present rate the July and August loss will not
coed 100000
The premier explains that methods Of hap
ding the submarine are becoming more success
full and that Great Britain is in no danger of be-
ing starved into submission.
Germany had staked her success on the abil-
ity of the submarine to starve the Allies and to
impede their lines of communication. Failure to
succeed in both is fastening the day when the
Allies will win.

Why Be a Killjoy?

Suppose every time you growled about some
thing you don't like, the whole town took up the
chorus. Wouldn't the growl be terrific and
disheartening one? Do you believe that you
would howl much you do, if your neighbors
and the whole block took up the chorus?
Some of us are so nearsighted that we believe
our own troubles are the only ones in town. We
fuss about trifling things in own family and
forget that Widow Brown has six children to sup
port, and yet is able to keep on smiling all day
long.
Those of us who sit around the house demand
ing sympathy usually don't need it half so much
as the ones who are fighting grimly and bravely
against tremendous odds to find way out.
There are few homes in which there are not
difficulties and tragedies of some kind. Why
should small percentage of the town elect them
selves to be Jobs and torture their relatives and

BERLIN, (via London, Aug. "a
The liberal press points out as signif-
icant feature Of Tuesdays session of
the main committee Of the Reichstag,
Chancellor Michaelis' statement that
the government would not take final
action on the papal peace note with
cut consulting and advising with the
committee
This is being received as a pledge
that the government henceforth In
tends to collaborate with the Reich
stag factions in dealing with the chief
problems Of the nations foreign pol
icy and that it would continue to work
in harmony with the committee in the
direction Of achieveing peace Of re-
cancellation and mutual understanding.
Agent Plan Favored.
The suggestion that smaller sub
committee of the main committee be
organized for the purpose Of acting as
confidential agent between the govern
rent and parliament is meeting with
approval. 1t is also said to have the
sanction of the chancellor.
The smaller unit would enter into
intimately confidential relations with
the government for the purpose Of sug-
gestion and paving the way to general
deliberations in the main committees

Active champions Of parliamentary
reforms are inclined TO look on the
progress thus far recorded as giving
promise Of still greater Roadway in
the desired direction while the con-
sentative advocates OF democratized

root.
Note to Be Discussed.
While the chancellors informal
statements and specific reference to
the papal peace note are in keeping
with expectations. 1t is not unlikely
that the NatiCans message will prove
the basis of an extended debate on
war aims during the committees pres
ent sitting, at which the issues of par
liamentary, reforms are equally GER
tain TO be discussed.
The ultraaconservative and pan-Ger-
man press continue to view the papal
Iote with plain ipoken suspicion and
warn against Offering the Reichstag
coalition parties on opportunity to in
fluence the governments attitude. In
this connection the Deutsche Zeitung
says:
I'VE are permitted to behold the
three great International powers,
