COPPER
SUPPLY TOTAL
below DEMAND

That the supply OF refined copper
will fall below the demand of the year
is the forecast of those who keep in
touch with the market. says the Den
yer Post. While the mines Of the
United States, Canada and Latin
America countries which market their
ores to American refineries could
probably produce 1000, 900 pounds
of copper a year, ii Is not believed
possible for the refineries to produce
more than three fourths as much, and
the more conservative place the pos
sible yield at 2,700,0O0,0OO pounds.
1t Is refineries rather than mines
that will limit the production, and
this limitation makes 1t certain that
the country will be short Of its cop
per needs unless the expectation to
foreign lands is curtailed. European
contracts already made will make it
extremely difficult to make such cur
tailment, 50 the certainty Of a copper
shortage and higher prices to all con-
sumers except the government ap-
pears to be a certainty.
Every refining plant in the United
States is being made to treat every
possible pound OF ore. Producers
foresee the coming tightness in the
market, and with a patriotism COM
mendable are doing their level best
to meet the situation, more in view
of the worlds need for the red metal
than out of any selfish desire to take
advantage of the situation. 1t would
be rather to the interests Of produc-
ers to hold back their copper and let
the market take it's course. but in
stead every promised improvement
that will add to the yield Of the fur
naces Is being employed and the out
put crowded to the limit. Refineries
are not to be bhlt a day, or on a
passing demand. They represent big
investments and take time to get into
operation.
Copper mines are telling one story
Of increased yield and heavier profits.
Great ore bodies are opening greater,
big mines becoming bigger ones, and
profits climbing as never before in the
mining industry. So far, with the ex.
ception of year Of stupendous things
for zinc, copper has reaped the big
end Of the boom and profited most
from the metal market made by the
war. 1t is to be noted that also the
copper men have appreciated the fact
and stood ready to do their part in
helping to finance the war, in cutting
their prices to a normal average when
the government became a customer,
and in crowding their production
when the prospects Of pinch became
realized.
Copper at SO means even greater
dividends and the world shortage
means that even after the war the
metal will still be in big demand.

cess would deliver a maximum Of
eight tons daily. While one ton a day

two tons daily allow a small profit,

CHAS. HILTIE NEAR DEATH
 IN THE TAKU RIVER

Charles Hiltie, pioneer rancher of the Taku River section, was brought to Douglas from the mouth of the river last night by the Pond Excur- sion party, after he had lost his entire belongings, including his whole winters outfit. Hiltie will endeav- or to secure a new outfit and return to his homestead.
 Hiltie was in Douglas and Juneau several weeks ago and secured over $500 worth of clothing. food, ammu- milton, and other supplies which he was taking to his homestead, forty miles up the Taku river. When with in a mile and half of his home his boat was swept under an overhang- ing snag by the current and was over turned.
 Hiltie barely escaped with his life by managing to catch an over hanging branch and pulling himself to the bank. He started for his nOHl0Stcdu, anu dlIcT tWO udyS Ol travel reached there. During the trip it was necessary for him to cross the river twice on rafts which he con- structed of drift logs, tied together with willow branches.
 After arriving home Hiltie lived entirely on vegetables which he took from his garden and at once set about making another boat from lum- Der which he had stored. He then started out again and had just reach ed the mouth of the river when the Pond party excursion happened along.
 Hiltie had three sacks of potatoes and other vegetables on board his boat which he sold to members of the party for a considerable sum and shortly before Juneau was reached he was presented with enough mon- ey to purchase another rife. collect ed from the members of the party. Hiltie will start back at once if able to secure an outfit of flour and food Juneau Empire.

 During the last two months there have been born in Vancouver hos pitals and private homes more than 30 pair of male twins. The frequency of the arrivals of these masculine duplicates has led a number of Van couver physicians to declare that the city has been blessed by twin epi- demic - one epidemic producing doublets.
 Attention is drawn to the fact that during other wars in the worlds his- tory the rate of male births has great ing increased Physicians here believe that the abnormal birth. of male twins is direct outcome of the war.

OMITTED MAIN FACT IN EFFORT TO SHOW
 RUSSIA BEGAN WAR

COPENHAGEN. Sept. 26.-With the arrival of Russian newspapers, some light is thrown on the campaign which the German government has been conducting on the strength of testimony brought out at the trial of General Soukhomlinoff, in Petrograd, for high treason. Accounts of the trial published in the Novoe Vremya, of Petrograd show that in the attempt to prove that Russia was responsible for the beginning of the war the Ger mans deliberately suppressed impor- tant parts of the testimony given by General Januschkevitch, former chief of the Russian general staff.
 In it's report of the trial the semi official German news agency omit ted in it's entirety passage regard ing an interview between General Januschkevitch and the German mili- tary attache in Petrograd. It appears from the Novoe Vremya that General Januschkevitch testified reports had been received that German mobiliza- tion already was secretly in progress. The Russian staff knew that this could be done under the German law without formal proclamation, where as in Russia public manifesto from the emperor was necessary.
 On the first day dispatch was re- ceived from the Russian ambassador at Berlin confirming the previous in- formation that the German mobiliza- tion was in progress. The emperor then expressed his thanks to General Januschkevitch for not having revok- ed the mobilization order.
