COPPER PRODUCTION FOR 1917
 EXCEEDS HALF BILLION DOLLARS
Output of Arizona Falls Below That Of 1916 But the State
 Leads All the Rest.

The production of copper in 1917 was slightly less than in 1910, accord ing to preliminary figures and esti- mates collected by B. $. Butler, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, from all pl; nts that make blister copper from domestic ores or that produce refined copper. At an average price of about ? cents a pound the output for 1917 has a value of S5lOOOO,OOO, as against values of S475OO0.OOO for 1910 and SIGO0O0,0O0 for 1913.
 The figures showing the shelter production from domestic ores repre- sent tho actual output of most of the companies for l l months and the csti- mated output for December. A few companies gave no figures for No vembc-, but furnished estimates of the combined output of November and December. The production of blister and Lake copper from domes- tic ores was l,S90,000,0O0 pounds in lG17, against l,92S000,0O0 pounds in 1910 and l,224,OOO,O0O pounds in 1913.
 The output of refined copper (elec- trolytic, Lake, casting and pig, from primary sources, domestic and for cien. for 1917, is estimated at 2,362,- O0O,OO0 pounds, compared with 2,- 25o,O00 pounds for 1910 and l,6l5,- CGOOOO pounds for 1913.
 Foreign Trade and Domestic Con-
 sumption.
 According to the Bureau of For cicn and Domestic Commerce, the imports of manufactured copper of all forms for the first 10 months of 1917 amounted to 46O,7S0,OOO pounds, as against 397,594.OOO pounds for the first n months of l916. The imports for the year 1910 were 462, 2,535,O00 pounds.
 The exports of pigs, ingots, bars, plates sheets, rods, wire, and like copper products for the first 10 mcnths of 1917. as determined by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, amounted to 95S,&6,000 pounds the exports for the first 10 months of 19l6 were 655,H3,000 pounds. Similar exports for the year 1910 were 7S4,O06,OOO pounds

At the beginning of 1917 about 1zS,000,000 pounds of refined copper was in stock in the United States By adding this quantity to the refinery ortput of the year it will be seen that the total available supply of refined copper, exclusive of secondary cop per, was about 2,49O,O00,000 pounds. By subtracting from this quantity the exports for the first 10 months and the estimated exports for the last two months, and assuming no change in stocks, it will be seen that the supply available for domestic consumption in 1917 was materially less than the l,43O.OOOOOO pounds available in 1910.
 The average monthly quoted prices of copper in 1910 and 1917 were all most exactly the same, 27.2 cents a pound. The average quoted price in 1910 was about 2.5 cents more than the actual average price received. The actual price received in 1917 was probably nearer the average quoted price.
 Record by States.
 Arizona produced 6S7, ,S00,000 lbs. a slight decrease from the production in 1910. which was 694, ,S00,OO0 pounds.
 Montana produced 27S,00O,000 lbs, as against 352,OOO,OOO pounds in 1910.
 Michigan produced 2z5,OOO,OOO lbs, an increase over the 269,794000 lbs. produced in 1910.
 Utah produced 245, 100000 pounds, as compared with 232,OO0,OOO pounds iT l0l6.
 Nevada produced 1l0,OO0,0OO, lbs, an increase over the 1OO,SOO,OOO lbs, produced in l9l6.
 Alaska, with a production of about S7,50O,00O pounds, showed large de- crease from the previous year.
 New Mexico increased its produc- ton to lO4, ,500,000 pounds from 7o,- S0000O pounds in l9l6
 The production of California was considerably above the 45,400,0OO pounds produced in 1910.
 The production in Tennessee did not differ greatly from the produc- tion in l9l6, which was l4,5O0,OOO pounds.

Head OF City Issues Statement Re-
garding Rights Of COlOred
Citizens.

A letter has been received by
Mayor William McConochie from
Thomas J. Lumpkin, negro, who
complains that he was not allowed
to obtain food in a Second avenue
restaurant Lumpkin says that he
deplores the action taken at time
when both white and negro are
fighting for the rights Of all men.
He says he does not understand
why he was Disseminated against
by the restaurant keeper. He also
stated that a policeman sitting in
the restaurant told him to move on
or he would have to do his duty. A
sign stating that I'VE cater to white
people only" was pointed out TO
Lumpkin when his order was given.
Statement of Mayor.
With reference to this matter,
Mayor McConochie has issued the
following statement:
IF l know anything about the
laws and constitutional amend
ments of the United States, the col
ored man is entitled to all the
rights Of any other citizen We are
not living in South Carolina or Mis-
sissippi. The restaurant keeper
and the policeman who would do
such things at times like these,
when all patriots, white or black,
are doing their bit to help win the
war, are not only ignoramuses, but
are slackers, and should have no
consideration among men who call
themselves men.
THE mayor OF the city has no
power to enforce a constitutional
amendment of the United States. If
I had, I would do so and put those
fellows out of business who would
discriminate against a gentleman
