mitted TO the Legislature.
Senator George +. Thompson. chair
man. Is now hard at work on the docu-
ment, which promises to be one of the
most bulky reports sver offered for the
consideration of the States lawmakers.
THE impression that shall ask for an
extension OF time In which to make
further investigations is erroneous" said
Senator Thompson. yesterday. There Is
no more probing to be done. All that re-
mains is to present the facts now at hand
and collate the recommendation based
upon them. This In itself Is no sma II
task
The most striking feature Of the report
which the chairman himself will present
is recommendation that the two Public
Service Commissions be consolidated, the
now board to consist OF seven members
with a chairman.
'The Governor does not agree with me
as to the wisdom OF this proposal said
Mr.. Thompson. but I am satisfied that
the work could be better handled by a
single body"
1t Is believed Senator Thompson and
some OF his fellow committeeman are not
in entire agreement on this point. In
deed the chairman does not expect unan-
imous recommendations on many sub
jects. He is receiving suggestions from
all the members. and all these will be pre-
sented, SO the document will not be sub
mitted in the customary majority and
minority form.
No recommendation win be offered for
revocation of the present dual system
contracts between the city and the Inter-
borough and Brooklyn Rapid Transit
companies. Senator Thompson insisted
that such recommendation had not been
considered by the committee.
Nor will the report contain any COM
ment on Public Service Commissioner
Travis II. whitney's suggestion Of a COM
sideration Of terms upon which arrange
ments might be made for a gradual alb
sorption Of the existing traction lines by
the city.
"I never heard Of that scheme until to-
day." said Mr.. Thompson. "So such
thing was ever considered by the COM
mittee Personally I am not an enthu-
siast on the subject OF municipal owner
ship. but II In time such control OF the

Senator Thompson will 60 to Albany

$s,ooO,o0O,O0o MINE
OUTPUT LAST YEAR
Industry Mad the Greatest
Profits in History of the
Country.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.--Three billion
dollars was the value put upon the 1916
output Of American mines in estimates
made to Secretary Lane to-day by the
Geological Survey. The enormous pro-
duction was accompanied b. the great
est profits the mining indus. o. the
country ever has known, copper alo, 3,
netting about 100000. 900.
Never before" said Secretary Lane
to-day. has SO large a draft been made
on the mineral resources Of our coun-
try and never before have minerals been
extracted with less waste or utilized to
better advantage in advancing the gen.
eral prosperity Of the country" Produc-
tion, 1t Is estimated, has run at least 25
per cent. ahead of 1915.
The copper output vas the sensation,
Of the year. At an average price Of ~
cents q pound. the 1915 production had
q value Of $520.O0o.0o0. compared with
S243.O00. 900 the year before and $780,
100000 in 1918. The profits were the
greatest ever known in the metal. Prices
averaged slightly more than 81 cents. as
against about II cents in 1915.
Arizona led the States in copper pro-
duction, mining 675.00O.000 pounds.
against 432,O0O,O 900 pounds the year be-
fore. Montana came second swith $780,
060 900 pounds. and Michigan was third
with 269,O00.000. Alaska mined le0.-
900, 900 pounds. which was almost twice
the 1915 production. Tennessee alone of
the copper States failed to increase its
yield.
Iron contends with copper for first
place among the metals produced. Ship
ments of iron ore this year, 1t Is es-
timated, amounted to 317S.000.000 in
value. an increase OF s77,o0o.000 ov.r
1918. The country's mines produced
75,500. 900 gross tons, against 55.000,o0
the year before. Production OF pig
iron during the year made a record with
100000 tons. against 30.000.000 tons
in 1915.
The 1916 coal production also was the
greatest ever known. The mines sold
697,500,0 900 tons. compared with b70,-
600, 900. the record established In 1918.
The quantity OF bituminous coal mined
was 6os.00o.00o. an increase OF 66.soo.-
900 over last year. The Pennsylvania
anthracite production of Ss,S12,000 was
