BRITISH AUTHORITY
 ON SILVER REVIEWS
 PRESENT SITUATION

Reviewing the silver market last year Sharps & Wilkins of London say: Tt will be remembered that during 1916 an immense quantity of silver was parted with by China to India, leaving former very much denuded or stock. and toward end of last yea- trading requirements made it neceS- sary for it 10 enter the market as a buyer. This movement was not con stani. and from time to time in earlier part Of 1917 some further sales were made on China account. the high price of silver making it a tempting prOpO- sitiOn to withdraw from China al higa- CT rate of exchange funds formerly in vested there This did not attain any large proportions. and about the be ginnin gof September the Shanghai exchange rose to very high vgure and 4s. 10 l-2d. per tael was reached about this time The exact reason for this high exchange is not clear and il was doubtless partly due to specula- tive dealings
 This view seems to be borne out by the fact that although the price of sii- yer in London continued 10 rise by leaps and bounds and went tO its high est gure t55dD at this period the Shanghai exchange did not advance further. but all the time extensive pur- chases of the metal were being made in America for shipment to China from San Francisco. cost Of freight and insurance across the Pacikc being so much less than that Co Europe that China was able to offer a considerable premium to the States and so inter cept the supplies which might other wise have come this way. This was one of the reasons for the great rise in silver which took place here in September. and buyers in this market had the greatest difficulty to, obtain even small amounts.
 A new departure was now made by a regulation in America forbidding ex- port tO China except under license which could not he very easily obtain ed. and this action soon produced a striking effect. Tor the buying for Chi na ceased and speculators started "a contrary action which resulted in a

GOVERNMENT SHIP
 BUILDING CRUSADE
 HURTSLABOR STATUS

The governments ship building Is drawing heavily not only upon Arizo- na copper metal but also on man po- wer of the metal producing mines and smelters. An exceedingly cOnserva- tive estimate upon the number or men attracted to the ship building service from the mechanical depart ments of the mines and reduction works is more than 500 with the num- Der growing daily.
 This condition arises from the fact that the government is in direct com petition with the copper producers in the employment of mechanics for the ship yards and is paying a higher wage schedule than the copper pro ducers can with the price of copper arbitrarily fixed by the government at 231k cents.
 Copper is no less essential to ship building than man power, while look ing forward to the cargOes for these ships copper occupies a still more i'm pOrtani position for munitions. mot ors. etc, based upon copper will be the chief part. Yet copper cannot be produced without large forces of com petent mechanical and carpenter forces constantly at work. any more than can ships.
 While the copper miners have lost many valuable men to the engineer ing corps of the army and to other special service under arms as well as by the draft. it has made no such i'm pressiCn as that attending the loss of their mechanics to the ship-yards. In the case of the men who have gone under arms. those left behind felt it a patriotic duty to double up their efforts and assist in OvercOm ing the shortage until new men ap peared- Tn that Of men leaving theiI mine. mill and shelter mechanical work for similar work under the gov ernment at higher pay. however. a different feeling is aroused. unsettlins satisfaction and efficiency instead Oi ! increasing it and adding these trou | bles to the actual loss of needed help One copper company in the state reports the loss of more than 50 pel cent of its mechanics from mine. mil

 The open shop prevails without friction in all Arizona mining dis tricts. Although complete figures are vet unavailable. it is believed that those of the last quarter of 1917 and the first quarter of this year will show a high increase in efficiency.
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. Feb 2-- While retaining the attitude that the price of copper needs be increased, il is a notable fact that copper pro ducers have accepted the renewal of the old price of 231z cents without protest. No other industry has ac- cepted government price fixing since the war with the accomplishing obe- dience .of the several thousand cop per producers in the copper mining states.
 Copper. unlike steel. iron, oil. gas wheat. foOdstuffs. cotton wool. Tx siles. etc. is the only major industry that reduced instead of boosted prices at beginning of the war. At the same that that il made a cut in the price of the metal it made an increase m wages. representing an even more re markable demonstration of patriotic purpose to steady conditions and gain the maximum in output of the metal for the government, regardless or dlf ferences O. opinion as to just price for the output Nothing during the war has provided exhibition of more unselfishneSs-

ANDES COPPER MINE IS BIG SUBSIDIARY
 ANAC0NDA CROWD

The largest project in mining deVel- Opment at the present time. says the Engineering and Mining Journal. IS that of the Andes Copper Mining company. Anaconda's subsidiary. situ- sted in Chile. South America This property is in the Andes mountains, 90 miles from Port of Chanaral, at an altitude Of 10.5OO feet
 Churn drills have determined an ore body 1900 feet long. 900 feet wide and $50 feet deep. containing over 32-OOO.- 600 pounds of ore. averaging Is per cent copper In addition to this known body other ore in the vicinity has been proved to the extent of increas- ing the total known ore to 1OO-000.00O tons. averaging If per cent copper
 The geology of the ore body is a pOrphyritic quartz in limestone. Plans of treatment have not been worked out in detail. but since both oxidize1 and sulphide ores occur, a cOmbina- ton Of teaching and fOtation will probably be adopted
 The method of mining will be one of low costs. Main haulage tunnel from the mill site terminates under the ore body at a point approximately 1000 feet below the surface. Above this tunnel ore bins will be construct ed. leaving 150 feet of pillar over the tunnel through which the ore will be drawn from the caviRg level IL is intended to undercut the ore body at the eaying level by a series of paral- Tel drifts and then to cave the entire ore body by blasting the pillars be- tween drifts With this gigantic col lapse of the ore body eliminating much expensive human labor. engi- neers believe costs will total only 20 cents per ton of ore on board rail road cars at the mine.
 A modern standard gauge railroad laid with 70-pOund rails is in process of construction from Port Chalaral to the mine. the last five miles of which will be through a 75 per cent hard rock tunnel. the whole to be in opera ton within two years. Pending com pletiOn of the railroad. freight is be ing transported the distance by mules and twO-wheeled carts
 In addition tO building a railroad and steamship terminus at Port ChanaraI. a 22.O0O kilowatt steam turbine electric plant is being in stalled which will provide power for the mine and mill at 100000 volts At the mine itself a 15.OOO-tOn cOncen trator is to be erected and plans are being made for a model town of about 5000 inhabitants.
 Owing to the great height of tEt mine an important question has beer the source of water supply Situated cn its plateau. the mine is in the des ert of Atacama- which is noted foi it's aridity It therefore became nee essary to go into the region of per petual snow and install a pipe line 36 miles long. Of an average diameter of 26 inches. which will furnish water ! at the rate of g cubic feet per sec end

his belief that the City of Bridgeport should be asked to appropriate that amount.
 Chairman Siemon today received more promises, equally as authentic as that of the government, to the eff feet that relief was headed for Bridge port. Word was received from the Pennsylvania Reading Coal Co. that two train loads of hard coal were headed for Connecticut and some would be dropped off in Bridgeport. The government administration has gotten 16o carloads of soft coal out of tangle at Maybrook Junction, all of which will be despatched to Connec- ticut, according to promises. Seven barge loads of bituminous coal will be released Tor connecticut usage from docks in South Amboy, N J., of which two barges are prom ised to Bridgeport. Another barge load, believed to have been comman- deered, is reported to be on it's way to this city from New London. l Chairman Siemon has no faith in ] these promises, but the committee will exert its power to assist the govern ment in making them good. The first factory actually to close on account of fuel lack was the Salts Textile Man ufacturing Co.,, which turned out 500 weavers today for an indefinite per 1 iod.
 The town of Stratford is absolutely without fuel and many pathetic ap- peals are made by residents of that town to the local committee.
 More than 500 persons stormed the fuel committees office today and more than 400 were turned away without satisfaction. The first appli- cant was at the door at o'clock and waited three hours and one-half to get in his order. At o'clock, nearly 150 men, women and children crowd
 ed around the door and when it open-
 ed at 8:30 o'clock the crowd rushed, jostling two policemen who had been detailed to preserve order.
 The daily allotment of 50 tons was
 divided into quarter-ton lots and in
 this manner a double number of or
 ders was issued. Women with babes in their arms were crowded and push
 ed during the melee. Women stood in line crying and telling each other or Lne1r SuIIerlnSS, WnlIe OtuSrS WAlo I>sad faces indicated that their suffer ings were equally as great.
 At about 10:3o o'clock Policeman Siebold announced that no more or
 ders would be taken and ordered a
 crowd of more than 100 persons to clear the hall. They pushed and
 crowded their way to the door and more than a score forced entry. Some were forcibly escorted from the of . fee.
 At the Looomobile shop officials said the situation there was unchang- ed from that of a few days ago. There is coal enough on hand to keep the ! plant going for three or four days. and more coal is on the way. Owing
 to the condition of navigation on thS
 Sound and in the harbor, due to ice, Tit is uncertain when this will be re-
 ceived, but it is hoped it will be in
 time to keep the plant operating. The
 situation is serious, the official said, but he hoped to receive supplies in time.

NO-S~~-OSO l l. by many wealthy and famous men. but chose in their stead and in spite of the objections of her parents, to marry Harry Wand, of New Haven.
 The couple came to Bridgeport to live about 25 years ago, and managed fduly well to live comfortably on an income Ward derived from a large es- tate left by his mother, Lucinda F. Ward, of New Haven, for himself and three brothers, one of whom was nationally famous physician.
 Her husband died in March, 1918. in Bermuda. and though having DO money of his own. left his wife a great deal of trouble when he wiIled to her his share of his mother's es- tate. Her share included practically the whole of S70.O0O worth of prop- ertY
 The will beuueathing the money to Mrs. Ward however. was disputed and contested bv other relatives, and the case came into the state courts to attract attention for two years. A nephew of the original testatrix, named Brownlee Robertson Ward, was the claimant. and the matter went to the sIpree court of the state | While the case was in litigation, however. Mfrs. Ward was taken care of by the trustee, Joseph A. Morse, a New Haven lawyer. who made pro- vision for her sustenance. etc. How long ago this support was withdrawn is not known. although it is said that the lawyer rendered Mrs. Ward some money only recently. and she refused if
