COPPER PRODUCTION, 1916

According to the Press Bulletin
of the United States Geological
Survey. the production of copper
in the United States in 1916,
surpassed all previous records.
Preliminary figures and estimates
have been collected by B. S.
Butler, who has received reports
from all plants known to produce
blister copper from domestic ores
and refined copper. At an aver
age price of about q cents a
pound the output of 1916 has a
value of $500, OC0, 600, compared
with $242, 900, 600 for the output
of 1915 and with $189, 100, 600 in
1918.
The figures showing smelter
production from domestic ores
represent the actual production
of most of the companies for II
months and an estimate of the
output for December. The fig
ures of a few companies for Nov
ember were not available, and
these companies furnished esti-
mates for the last two months of
the year.
According to the statistics and
estimates received, the output Of
blister and Lake copper from
domestic ores was 1,928, 900, 900
pounds in 1916, against 1885,
600, 600 pounds in 1915, and l, 1884,
600, 600. pounds in 1918.
The output of refined copper
(electrolytic, Lake, casting and
pig) from primary sources, domes-
tic and foreign, for 1916, is es-
tlmated at Z,oll ,UOO,UOO POUNDS,
compared with 1884, 900, 900
pounds in 1915 and with 1915,
600, 600 pounds in 1918.
The production of copper from
the mines of the United States
for 1916 was more than double
that of 10 years ago and more
than four times that of 20 years
ago. The profit resulting from
the domestic production was far
greater in 1916 than in any pre-
vious year. 1t is probably safe
to say that it exceeded $780,
100000.

The county administration
changed hands Monday in true
democratic spirit. There was no
contest and no armed guards to
prevent the new officials taking
their jobs. During the next two
years Graham county will have
two republicans and one demo-
crat on the board of supervisors,
a republican treasurer, a repub-
lican county attorney, a repub-
lican assessor and a republican
county school superintendent,
which is a new experience, po-
litically speaking, in dear old
Graham.

Miss Ranki1,'s
Fighting Hard
for 8-H0ur Da,

Washington, July Miss Rankin
called upon President Wilson today.
Beyond saying that she talked with
him concerning matter in which her
constituents are interested. she would
not disclose the purpose of her visit.
In her efforts on behalf of women
workers in the bureau of engraving
and printing Miss Rankin intimated
today that she will appeal to Secre-
tary McAdoo unless the desired
amelioration of conditions Is granted
by the director of the bureau.
Miss Rankin contends that employees
of the bureau should not be obliged to
work overtime if they do not wish to
do so, and that ample help fram the
eligible lists of the civil service COM
mission could be secured for the work
of the bureau without imposing ex-
cessive hours upon those employed.
Director Ralph, speaking of Miss
Rankin's charges, said:
Miss Rankin Is not familiar with
the technical requirements Of the bu-
reau and doesn't realize that the thing
on which the women are working is
an emergency matter and must be
done. The controversy Is blocking wal
work. ] court fullest investigation"
Fifty women employees of the bureau
called upon Miss Rankin yesterday
and left data regarding the prevalence
of overtime work IN the bureau
Women are paid extra wages for time
worked over eight hours. but many dc
not wish to work overtime and Miss
Rankin contends that they should not
be forced to do SO.

in Foods tufts

Chicago, July 2.-Exploitation of war
conditions to raise food prices to con-

ported by the federal grand jury to-
day after an investigation of several
weeks. The Elgin Board of Trade,

standard throughout the country, re =
ceived especial attention from the
grand jury. which pointed out that the
board holds only one 15-minnte session
each week.
1T Is question whether the Elgin
board is a real and bona fide market

comments the report
Trading in canned foods, the grand
jury found, Is carried on under n sys.
tenn which compelled the consumer 10
deal with middlemen and prevented
trading directly with the canner. One
result of this was given IN the price OF
canned corn which sold from Gamer
to wholesaler in 1916 at Gh cents a
dozen. and Is now selling to the re :
taller at $1.75 n dozen, and the con :
sumer at a still higher price. The
report urged legislation to prohibit
cold storage companies from lending
large amounts on perishable food
products in warehouses, which, the
grand jury said. leads to speculate
and higher prices.

MEN OFFER TO WORK

Hundred Conductors Start
Movement Which Prom
ises to Be General.

Five thousand dollars worth of real
estate was yesterday donated to the
swimming pool fund by the Missoula
Mercantile company and the campaign
has through this action come into
possession of one of the best possible
sites available for the pool
The gift consist of q large portion Of
the south half of block six of the
original tOwnsite. In order to more
thoroughly identify the location OF the
property. 1t Is situated Immediately
behind Newton's carpenter shop and
Is f1anked on the west by Reid's Tin
shop. The Mercantile company has
offered to donate up to 100 feet in
breadth, and the lots are abaAt f2O
feet deep. This will be sufficient
ground to construct pool and bath
houses and the location is practically
in the heart of the city.
Can Heat Water.

heat from the central heating plant is
the best method Of taking the chill
from the water, q short extension from
the present mains would reach the
pool. Rattlesnake water can be used
and It is believed that right OF way
Tor the pipe line would be cheerfully
granted by the citizens through whose
property the line would pass. There is
natural drainage to the river. The
site has often been mentioned by
SWIMMING pool enthusiasts, but that IL
would be given to aid the movement
has been beyond the widest dreams of
the campaign's most ardent sup
porters.
Means Start Of Work.
The donation OF this site means that
at once work will beginon drawing
plans and specifications for the pool.
AS soon as a definite estimate is Sc.
cured as to the cost of construction it
Is believed that the fund will be in
shape to permit of Its being built at
once. The site given by the Mercan-
tile is already excavated to as great a
depth as would be. necessary and there
VIII be great saving made in the
amount OF work to be done along this
line.
Men Give Days Work.
One hundred conductors of the
Northern Pacific have decided to
donate one days work each on work

services for day. Artisans of all
kinds have promised their services in
order to cut down the cost of building
