Anaconda's High Ore mine suspend.
ed operations for three months during
which the shaft will be concreted the
entire depth of 3,40O feet and will cost
about $4,000. 1t is not expected this
shutdown will interfere seriously with
Anaconda's production as men will be
sent to other mines increasing output
at these points. High Ores daily pro-
duction averaged 1850 tons. 1t is es-
timated that Anaconda will in May
produce approximately $4,000, 1000
pounds Of copper, 100000 ounces Of
silver and 100000 pounds of zinc.

tail dealers Of the state and effective
Monday, Feb. Is, are given herewith
for your information:
To the Retail Dealers Of tho State OF
Minnesota:
Because of very serious situation
that exists within the state at the pres
ent time, due principally to lack OF
proper distribution ofthe sugar sup
ply, which in turn is caused by 9
shortage of cars at shipping points
the following rules and regulations
governing retail dealers who sell
sugar to consumers are temporarily
necessary:
You will continue to sell sugar to
patrons in cities, towns and villages
In lots of not more than five pounds
and to farm trade in lots of not more
than 10 pounds. You will refuse to
to sell sugar by the 100 pounds, but
you may sell to hotels, boarding hous
es and restaurants In rs pound lots
providing that you ascertain first that
they are not re-selling it, and second
that they are not purchasing more
than a weeks supply on the basis OF
three pounds per capita per month. In
private homes, consumers must be
limited to three pounds per month to
each member Of the household.
This ruling becomes effective Mon.
day, February Is, 1918. and you will
sell only on this basis from that date
until further notice.
II you have reason to suspect that
patron is trying to evade this rule
by purchasing of several dealers, ask
for a signed statement to protect your
self.
Do not advertise sugar or otherwise
urge its sale.
Do not wait for personal notiflca.
ton. You will accept this public not
ice as your instructions and bear in
mind that this ruling becomes effec.
tive Monday, February rs, 1918.
