MINES. MINING. LOCAL STOCKS AND COPPER
Demand for Copper Will Be ActiUe During
 Period Of fRecOnstruction SaHs Mr: DOugLas

Tn the mines are to a certain extent based on the increased cost of'living and as such increased cost, especially as applied to the necessaries of life, can not be materially decreased until the armies are demobilized, it is obvious that labor cannot accept a seri- ous reduction in its income. Reconstruc- ton of devastated Belgium and Northern France and replacement of the copper stocks of the central powers will in time make the demand for the red metal active, and it can be fairly assumed that the aver age price will not again be as low as in the past, any more than it can reasonably be anticipated that the wage rate will ever re- turn to its former level.
 After the necessary, though indefinite, period of readjustment is passed, the de- mand for copper will, think, be so great that the producer will be enabled to de- mand and obtain sufficiently high price for his product to permit of high rate of wages being paid and the mining of low grade ore deposits. on the successful ex- ploitation of which the future prosperity of the industry depends.

RAY HERCULES IN GOOD POSITION;
 WILL BE BETTER
Though Declining With Other Coppers on Market, This New Producer Is in Fine Physical Form

RAY, Ariz., Dec. 21.-COnsiderable inquiry has developed recently as to Ray Hercules, the shares of which have declined with other coppers in the markets. From the general tenor of the inquiries it is presumed that 1t is felt that there must be some physi- cal reason for the decline of the stock of this new producer. the last big one to bel added to the Arizona list.
 Physically, on the contrary. Ray Hercules is in in fine form. If its shares were selling on the basis of the actual property condition they would be much higher than at any period during which the investment has been before the public. But none of the copper shares are at this time selling on the basis of physical condition of the properties. Prices are rather based on pessimism as to the future, and thus far there has not been much analysis of separation of the sheep from the goats.
 Ray Hercules belongs with several other Arizona coppers, in class that should be exempt from bearing at this time, because they are able to mine cheaply, are abundantly equip ped with efficient machinery, have sufficient funds on hand to meet all requirements. even should there be many rainy days, and are in the hands of competent. vigorous managements. Hercules mill had some few kinks to straighten out, as every new plant has had. but is through with that pe- riod and now operating with attend ance of excellent recovery. In the mine there is promise of very material expansion of the present large tonnage of good grade ore, of which there is something more than ten million tons now demonstrated. It would not be surprising if Hercules should more than double this tonnage before 1t IS through with its work. Problems oi extraction are being worked out and will ultimately doubtless lower the very economic costs of mining esti- mated in advance and now being worked ot.
 It will not be a great while until Hercules can establish its million pounds the month production. Mean time earnings are satisfactory on hall that amount of monthly output. The property is not among those that a lower price for copper after January will close dOwn.

By WALTER DOUGLAS President American Mining Congre


 What will post war conditions be in the copper mining industry? An intelligent forecast can only be made if certain hypo- theses of federal action can be assumed. The principle of government control of in- dustries producing essentials of war has been accepted by those industries as war time measure and with the tacit under standing that with the termination of the struggle such control would be removed and the law of supply and demand again some into force. It must now be admitted that a termination of the war does not and will not mean an immediate return to pre-war conditions and that pending read justment and refinancing, it may be neces- sary and desirable that the government should, for period continue to exercise with the consent of the industries, its con trol of prices and production tonnage, as is probable the demand for the conmoner metals be temporarily curtailed and the price depressed, very serious crisis would confront not only capital but labor.

EVEN GLOBE BARBER WOULD TUMBLE AFTER
 HAVING THIS PULLED
ENGI BRING AND MINING JOURNAL TELLS A GOOD ONE ON ONE OF THE BIG MEN OF THE MINING WORLD AND A PUZZLED ToNsoRIAL ARTIST

Away back in the early years of the twentieth century, there entered a barber shop in Globe -Ariz., an individual whose general get-up resembled that of Abe Lin coin on one of his absent-minded days. With a pre-occupied air, he passed his large hand over sturdy but camouflaged jaws, thus con veying to the mind of the tonsor- ial artist the hint that he desired a shave and did not wish to be annoyed by any gossip and chat ter, which would tend to inter- rupt his meditations. Scarcely had the lather been applied, however, when the professor began his GUS tomary chatter. Stranger in town, ain't ye?" The victim stir red slightly, grunting. "Uh-huh," in a manner intended to hang up the receiver, as it were. "Got a job at the O. D. smelter?" A similar response was forthcoming, accompanied by a feigning of drowsiness and a readjustment of the long limbs in more comfort able position. The affirmative responses became fainter and fainter, to the queries of Good pay?" Do you like the com pany?" Has the new big boss ar rived yet?" etc. until change of tactics to Do you work on the charging floor, tapping floor, or around the stockpile?" brought results in the form of a drawling "Oh, I kind of look around here and there and hang around the of flee some" A look of compassion spread over the barber's coun- tenance as he said, as gently as he could, 'Oh, 1 see. You're the new watchman. There ain't much pay in that, but if you're steady there's chances. Say, bo, got lot of influence with some of the foremen, and maybe l can help you Now what might your name be-" This reused the sleeper from his lethargy. Stretching a bit, he responded: Me? Oh, my name is Ricketts "

MINE INDUSTRY
 IN SOUTHWEST
 l IN GOOD SHAPE
Both in Arizona and Sonora Properties Have Be en Placed in Position to Get Out Much Ore

NOGALES, Ariz., Dec 21-Now that the European war is over, capi- tai is turning toward the commercial and industrial fields, and in no ac- tivity is this more noticeable than in the. mining industry in Arizona and the elneighboring state of Sonora. Right here at the door of Nogales, there has recently been erected at great expense 200-ton mill at the famous Worlds Fair mine, near Patagonia. The mill has now been in operation some weeks and -is reported to be working satis factorily It has been planned with great care and with a view to extract from the lead-silver product of the mine the highest possible values. Be- fore the mill was erected, elaborate tests of the worlds Fair ore were made at the laboratory of the Uni versity of Arizona. these tests being for the purpose of determining what class of mill was best fitted to work the ores.
 Another mine in this county that is operated very successfully is the Three R. which is turning out very valuable ore in large quantities. Another is the Flux in the same region: still an other is the property of the Duquesne Mining & Reduction company at Washington camp, and one more IS the property of the Arizona European Mining company, not far from the Three R. mine. All of these mines are owned either wholly or in part by local capitalists.
 In Sonora much activity is observ- able, especially in the case of the Mauto Mining company. which is op- erating the Mauto mine a short dis tance from Carbo on the s. P. de Mexico. This company is also con | trolled by local capitalists. The presl- dent of the company is J. C. Under wood. a resident of Nogales, who has operated mines and mills in Sonora and various other mining sections. The vice-president and general han- ager is also a Nogales man, D. L. Fain. He is the man who originally sold the San Geronimo to its pres ent owners, and is best known as the owner of a gold mine in Sonora, located some 15 miles from the Mauto which has been a substantial pro- ducer. The secretary and treasurer of the company is the well known attorney, Frank !. Barry. who has various mining interests in this vi- cinity
 The history of the Mauto mine dates
 back a goodly number of years. It was a large producer of silver and lead and at times of gold. The mine
 has recently been reported on by
 Messrs. Roper and Howard, one of the Heading firms of mining engineers and assayers.
 Another evidence of how rapidly min ing in Sonora is coming to the front
 now that the war is over, is shown
 in the case of the San Geronimo
 Mines company, which IS well known
 10 many local people and in which
 several Nogales people are interested. The San Geronimo mine was opened CContinued on Page Two)

oADsDEN WORKINGS
 SHOW 5ETTERMENT

The present outlook at the Gadsden property at Jerome. in which many local people are stockholders, IS bet ter than for some time. according to Attorney Fred Sutter of this city. in- formation received by him during the week was that between 675 and zoo feet of work had been done on the drift on the 1900 level and the char acter of the ground was encouraging
 In this connection the Verde Cop per News says:
 '.The flow of water continues to in- crease in the Gadsden workings as the west crosscut from the 120O-foot station advances. Today the face of the crosscut is a little over 700 feet from the station and the pumps are handling 4S0 gallons a minute. This is only 40 gallons less than their ca pacity, so it is probable that the bailer will have to be started in few days"
