DEMAND FOR
COPPER LARGE

Copper Gossip, published by Nat
ional Conduit & Cable c., in COM
la.nting on the copper situation, says
in parr: Requirements for copper
continue large and urgent and from
ali indications demand will rule un-
usually strong throughout .he entire
year Wartime needs constitute the
greatest factcr in the situation. And
there is every reason TO conclude that
| the movement of copper into the
many channels Of government busl
ness will be on an Increasingly I'M
pressive scale
Extraordinary and effective work
has been done at mines and refinerics
| There has been recent tangible ev-
| idence. however, that the full capacity
of American plants has not been util-
ized. Severe winter weather, diff
cult. transportation and scarcity OF
competent labor have hindered min
ing activities recently. But with
more favorable conditions decided
| expansion in total output is expected
The near future should see month";,
output OF at least 200.000,00O pounds
of refined copper, if the actual require
ments OF international demand are tc
be met.
World stocks of copper are at al
extremely low ebb. Europe may bt
said to be swept bare of surplus
stocks as they existed in pre-war
times. Meantime, England, France
and Italy are multiplying their de-
mand for the product of our mines
Foreign consumption has increased
so enormously as to call for over d
billion pounds annually of American
copper, and it would take much more
than that if it was available. A pill
ing up of supplies under these circum
stances is out If the question. Pru-
dence, however, should dictate the
wisdom of providing ample supple:
of copper for domestic manufactur
| ing requirements in addition to giving
the government every pound it needs
"Iwmediate requirements for cop
per for domestic manufacture and ex
port are of huge dimensions Ordin.
airy demand must give way to the ex-
.panding requirements of the govern
inent and allies but if the normal ba-
| sis of output was again established
general industry might expect to fare
better in the matter of supplies
There is plenty of copper in the mines
and adequate smefter and refinery
capacity to put it in marketable shape
More man-power however, is needed
in these times of stress, in order to
keep the supply equal TO. the over
whelming demands

NEVADA DOUGLAS REPORTS

We hape just received Nevada
Douglas statement for the month OF
February showing net operating prof.
its of $lo,o35. This, together with
the railroad earnings of $4,000 gives
a total of about $4,000, which. allow
ing for the short month, compares
favorably with the earnings for jan
uary. This shows a net earning IN ex-
cess OF 10 per cent interest on So.9'
share for the outstanding Nevada
Douglas stock.
The showing is good one wher
you consider that smelter charges
cost of powder and all kinds Of sup
plies for mining and labor have beer
increased. The earnings show very
large profit on the present selling
price of the stock, and we have reason
TO believe that that these earnings
will increase as the season advances
The Nevada Copper Belt R. R. has
never done so we'll in its history as
it is doing now The gross receipts
for the week ending February 28tll
were $11,O40.7.
