COPPER MINING MAKES GREATEST PROGRESS
 IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Canadian Mining as a Whole Has Been Remarkable Dur ing Last Year---Copper Pro- duction Largely Increased.

VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 27.-Copper mining is making greater advances in British Columbia than in any other branch of mining in this province. The estimated output for 1916 was ap- proximately 70,OO0,000 pounds. which compares with 56,91S,O00 pounds in 1915. and 51,456.O00 pounds in 1912, these being the only other years in which the production of this metal exceeded 5O,00O,O00 pounds. The yearly average for the five-year period l91l-1s15. was 47,354,520 pounds. The quantity produced in 1916 was nearly 50 percent greater than that average.
 The first recorded production of copper in the province was 324,6SO pounds in 1894. For the eight-year period. 1S94-19Ol. the total output. ac- cording to official records. was 63,016. 900 pounds. For the three five-year periods since 1901 the figures are as follows: For 1902-6. 1S0, ,3S9, 900 pounds; for 19O7-l1. 2OS.S76.O00 pounds. The total production in g years, 1S94-1916 (that for 1916 being estimated) was 722,126,O0O pounds.
 The chief copper producing district of British Columbia until 1914 was that known as the Boundary, compris- ing Grand Forks and Greenwood min ing divisions, in which the Granby Consolidated and British Columbia Copper companies have been operat- ing more than 20 years. In 1914, however, what is known as the Coast district came into greater prominence this including Vancouver mining divi- sion in the southern part, in which the Britannia Mining and Smelling company's mines are situated, and Skeena mining division in the north ern part, in which the Granby Con- solidated company also commenced producing copper in 1914.
 Approximate figures for 1916 indi- cate the position as regards sources of copper production in the province today, as follows: Northern Coast, 29.971 900 pounds; Southern Coast, 1S.765,000 pounds; Boundary, 16.15S,- 900 pounds; Trail Creek (Rossland), 3,9S6,000 pounds: other parts, 1,120,- 900 pounds; total, 10000, 900 pounds
 The following table shows the quantities of copper from the several producing districts for all years to date:

NEW CORNEL|k ORE
 PIT IS FAST NEARING COMPLETION AT WORKS
All Other Work on Big Plant of Copper Company Is Be- ing Sent Rapidly Ahead Townsite Progressing.

AJO, AriZ., Jan. 27-More than 500 men are now rushing the construction work of the New Cornelia Copper Go. to completion. Around the rim of the 60-acre pit two steam shovels are en- gagged in removing dirt and ore, mak- ing way for the three standard gauge railroad tracks which will dip 400 feet below the present surface to extract the 42,000,000 tons of ore determined to the present time.
 One steam shovel was employed un- til the first of the week. Another To- comotive was also added the first of the week, making three now in ser vice Six will ultimately be employed in the pit and on the trackage be- tween the pit and reduction works. a mile distant.
 At the crushing, teaching and cleo trolytic plants comprising the ore re- duction works, there is a near ap- proach to completion in every depart ment. The power plant equipment is practically all on hand and it is ex- pected that the contractors will be able to turn over this plant during the first week of February.
 The trackage to the coarse crusher has been completed. The coarse crusher plant is 9S percent complete. The fine crushing plant is 90 percent of hf,o tanks are lined and the 18th tank will be lined within a few days. The cen tral structures are complete and rea- dy for the steel. Fifteen-inch solution pumps are now being installed on these structures Iron for the con crete is now placed and the pouring will begin next week.
 The electrolytic tank house is so percent complete. Over 50 percent of the lead anodes are made: also the same number of starting sheets. All the boilers in the power house are bricked in. The second turbine is on the ground and being installed, as are the motor generator sets. The cool ing plant is 95 percent complete
 At the model townsite which the company is building. the business block is 90 percent complete. Some of the houses. combining all modern features of construction, have been finished and are occupied. All of the houses will be finished this month. The water and the sewer systems have been installed and are in ser vice.

Total QS94-1916) ..... 722,126, 900
 While the greater part of the cop per produced in the Northern Coast district has come from the Granby Consolidated company's Hidden Creek mine, near Observatory inlet, about 5.000.0O0 pounds was produced in 1915 and 1916 from the Rocher De boule Copper company's mine in Om- ineca mining division.
 There is promise of a steadily in- creasing output from the Skeena re- zion and other parts of the northern country In the southern part of the province, in Simikameen division, west of the Boundary district, the British Columbia Copper company has developed ore in considerable quantities in a group of mineral land on Copper mountain. within a dozen miles of Princeton, the most import ant of the several small towns in the Simikameen district.
 The principal copper producing companies in the province are the Granby Consolidated, British Colum- bia Copper. Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company of Canada, and Britannia Mining and Smelling com pany. Among the smaller producers are the Rocher Deboule Copper com pany, the Kamloops Copper Company operating in Yale district: the High land Valley Mining and Development company, which has just started con centrating copper ore near it's mines in Ashcroft division, Yale district, and several others in Yale or Coast dis tricts.
 Information relative to reserves of copper ore and to metal contents or recoveries from ore mined and treat ed in recent years has been obtained from various sources. From the fol lowing figures an idea will be obtain able as to the estimated quantities of ore available for mining in some of the mines that have been largely pro- ductive in recent years and the met als contained in a part of the ores al- ready disposed of:

AMOLD DISTRICT NEAR
 TUCSON PRODUCTIVE
 OF GREAT PROSPECTS
Mile Wide Cooper Company at 125 Ft. Level, Discovers Body of Chalcopyrite Ore. Has Width of 25 Feet.

TUCSON, Jan. 27. - Probably the most sensational developments of the past month in the Pima county dis trict, have been those of the Mile Wide Copper company, operating in the Amole Mining district, IS miles west of Tucson.
 On the 125-foot level a body of chal- copyrite has been encountered and has been proven to width of twenty two feet Then on the 200 level, cross cut has followed to catch the same ore body, which has shown for width of 10 feet with the face still in chalcopyrite.
 The deposit is remarkable, owing to its remarkable purity of chalcopy rite, averaging almost 20 percent cop per and also because of it's shallow depth. The ore was first cut in at the 95-foot level, while sinking the main working shaft The shaft was con tinued down to 225 feet and a level was put in on the POO. to cut the ore, and work is progressing on this level as fast as the facilities permit.
 The Mile Wide property is remark able from the fact that all the work has been done in less than one year. Over 500 feet of development work,

 "Of the various mining camps in Arizona" said Collins yesterday. Il think that Bisbee has the best outlook of any for the future. In ny opinion Bisbee has just been scratched in face of the fact that il has produced more ore than any other mining camp in this region of the country.
 "I do not predict a boom but I do expect to see steady. conservative de- velopment in this District which will open the eyes of the most pessim.s- tic. Another opinion. for which may be criticized. is that think mines will. eventually. be opened north of the dividend fault. which full ly as productive and rich as any south of that mythical division between barren country rock and pay ore.
 There are several very likely look ing pieces of ground north of the fault which. with some development may become big mines. The other possibilities of extensions in this Dis trict are enormous"
 Collins was at one time the general manager for the Daily interests in Butte and was also assistant super intendent of the WashOe smelter for the. Anaconda.
 He will remain several days in the District making extensive eNamina- tions before returning to Los Angeles where he is making his southwestern headquarters.

SAUNDERS TALKS ON CONSERVATION OF ALL
 NATURAL RESOURCES
w. L. Saunders Speaks Before Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburg and Tells Audi ence His Opinion.

! The question is. shall legislation be urged before congress to permit CO operative agreements under federal supervision in certain primary natural
 resources. such as timber. the ores
 and deposits of useful metals and the
 deposits of minerals which are a source of heat, light. and power. The
 chief reasons why we seek an affirma-
 tive answer to this question are. that
 through cooperation the basic natural
 resources of the United States will be , Conserved; that human life, among
 persons engaged in those industries, will be better cared for, and that the safety, welfare. and prosperity of our people now and in future generations
 will be increased.
 Remember that we are dealing in
 this matter only with primary natural resources and that we propose to per. init regulation. What are the prim- ary natural resources? COncretely they are forests. natural gas and oil deposits. coal iron ore. and metallifer ous ores. speaking in general terms these things are the sinews of natural security and prosperity in peace and war.
 We are an industrial. not an agricul- tural nation. It is because we have ad- vanced from the farm to the workship that We have grown great and rich. Our fathers developed these fields through the cultivation of the soil. Through their labors America sustain ed human life throughout the world, but nature has provided us with some thing more than surface fields for cul- tivation. We have found other re- sources and throughout the develop ment of these resources we have be- come the largest industrial factor in the world Just as the farm sustains human life so does the mine sustain industrial life. Human capacity to produce through manual labor in the field is limited to Little more than human capacity to live. A big agricul- tural country does not grow rich and powerful. Il does not build up large cities, but it goes on through the even tenor of it's way in perpetual desue- tude. Not so with country rich in mines and minerals. Look at Pitts burg. look at Sheffield and Birming- ham. and the distinction is apparent.
 There are three great industrial ma tions in the world; The United States, England and Germany. Belgium. be fore the war. was great in industry. though limited in size. Russia and China are great in territory and in wealth. but they do not figure indus trially as the world is measured. either because of lack of development or limitations of raw material. The true measure of an industrial na- tion is its consumption of coal. A na- ton might produce a large volume Of coal and iron ore. but unless it utilizes this production in industry it does not become great in industry. The United States consumes about , tons of coal per capita per annum, England and Germany each consume about tons. while the consumption in France is a little more than 1 1-2 tons. and in Rus sia about 1-4 of a ton. We consume about Is pounds of copper per capita
