Copper Run,Ors Denied by
 Trade Authorities; WhO Say
 Accommodations Ridiculous

BOSTON, Mass. Dec. 1.-The best authorities in the copper trade are amused over published reports esti- mating the amount of blister copper and copper metal on hand and in pro- cess of refining in this country in ex- cess of 00,0O0. 900 pounds. They state that such a figure is ridiculous on its face, and add that there is no one in the trade who could compile a total Of the amount of copper in hand at pres ent.
 One well-knOwn interest yesterday stated that if the metal in the ore bins, that on the railroads from the mines to the smelters. that in transit from the smelters to the refiners and the amount in the hands of the sellers were taken into consideration, it is doubtful if the total would be any where near the 500, 1000 O00-pound fig ure published. And in this connection they point out that while there is sl- ways a large total in the various stages before the refined metal is turned out a proportion always has al- ready been sold, so that this amount,

PECK SILVER MINE
 TO TO DEVELOPED
 ON A LARGE SCALE
REDUCTION PLANT TO BE IN STALLED ON PROPERTY NEAR CROWN KING AND FIRST IN- TENDED TO TREAT 10000 TONS IN OLD MINE DUMP

JEROME, Ariz., Dec. 14-W. W. FL liott, who recently spent several months here directing work on the Verde Central property, is superin- tending the installation of a reduction plant at the famous old Peck Silver mine. a few miles northwest of Crown King in the Bradshaws. The plant. now en route from the east. includes a new ball mill. compressors. Wilfley tables, classifier. engines, 14 cyanide tanks and much other equipment
 It is expected the plant will be in action before the first of the year. and the product first to be treated will be the old dump of approximate ly 10000 tons. carrying an estimated value of about S2O to the ton in sil- yer The workings of the old Peck then will be vigorously explored. Frank Giroux will personally direct the development He retired a short time ago as lessee of the Swastika. nearby. and on a parallel Assure to the Peck. while he also has repeatedly worked the Peck under a lease. mak- ing a success.
 This will be the first extensive de- velOpment which the Peck has faced in over third of a century in which practical mining figures. and from the exhaustive sampling made in re- cent months in old zones it is but reasonable to expect success.

even if some definite figure could be determined, would not by any means represent a surplus.
 That there is some surplus of the metal was admitted yesterday by the head of one firm who is interested in a material way in copper properties. He said:
 Yes, there is a stock of copper, but no one knows what the actual amount is. Certainly it is nowhere near S00.- 000, 900 pounds. The copper producers and sellers always have metal on hand, except in rare instances such as we experienced in the past three years.
 "If you go into any of the large mercantile houses, or other lines of business you will find the shelves stocked with material that is for sale, and in normal times there is a simi- larity to this in the copper trade. The producers and sellers have quantities on hand, which is right. They can see 6 good demand ahead and will be prepared to meet it when it comes.

WESTERN COPPER co.
 PROPERTY AROUSES
 INTEREST IN STATE
MINE IN MAYER DISTRICT DEVEL- oPED TO SMALL EXTENT AND IS EXPECTED SOON TO BE RE- VIVED AS REORGANIZATION HAS BEEN STARTED

JEROME, Ariz.,' Det. 14.-Oyer in the Mayer country lies a mine property that has attracted much attention in the past few weeks, that of the West ern Copper company, consisting Of a group of 20 claims four miles from Mayer and lying immediately betweer the Binghampton and Copper Queen holdings on the north and the famous old Stoddard group on the south.
 The original location of this prop erty was made some r years ago by Jack Patton, who took uu five claims lying along the great Outcrop of DOT phyry that extends from Yaeger canyon south for almost 50 miles. To these original five claims. 15 more have been added by purchase and loca- ton and, with the exception of an in significant fraction, the Western Cop per company owns all the ground be- tween the Binghamton and Copper Queen and the Stoddard.
 If location counts for anything, this group constitutes one of the choicest and most promising properties in the Mayer district, as it straddles the great outcrop 700 feet wide between the two best known and most pro- ductive mines yet developed there and the surface showings are said to be even more attractive than were foun on either of its neighbors.
 The property has been developed to a small extent by a number of shallow shafts and open cuts, all showing mineral, some of which were put down as location work and others sunk by the present owners to deter mine the proper location for a per manent working shaft. On the south end of the property, not far from the Stoddard line, several short tun- nels have been driven into the schist at either side of the porphyry con tact and all these show the same de gree of naturalization that is exposed in the shafts and open cuts.
 Several engineers have examined the ground and all have agreed that it presents possibilities well worth eX- ploring and have agreed also that the location chosen by the present owners for the permanent shaft is the best on the ground.
 The property is connected with Mayer by a road which will require but little repair to make it an easy and inexpensive matter to transport supplies to the mine and ores to the shelter
 The ground presents another ad- vantage in the fact that there is a considerable dip in the surface be tween the Binghampton and the Stod- ard and it is expected that the ore bodies will be found at less depth, by possibly 300 feet, than in the for mer. which is now taking out ore from the 600 level
 The company lately has been re organized and the following we'll known men constitute its directorate A. F. Weidman, w D. Mahoney and Leo Kranso.

ANACONDA STACK GREATEST IN ALI
 MINING WORLD
New Brick Structure at Wa. shoe Reduction Works 5S5 Feet in Air; Company Made Own Brick

ANACONDA, Mont, Dec 14-Brick- layers this week laid the last brick of the Anaconda Copper Mining com pany's new stack at the Washoe Re duction works, the chimney now standing 5S5 feet high, the highest and the largest stack in the world, and a monument to the genius of the cop per corporations engineers.
 The nearest competitor in heights is the stack of the American Smelling company's Tacoma plant, which is sur passed by dozen feet and a concrete stack at Kobe, Japan, that is 13 feet lower. Neither compares in dimen- sions and draught capacity with the Anaconda's stack, which is 90 feet in side diameter at its base and 60 at the top.
 The Anaconda company's engineers make public the following figures con- ceTning the chimney: The wall at the bottom is five feet eight inches in thickness and at the top 21 inches The bricks used were made at the Anaconda's new brickyard and are of a special size, 4xSxS, about double the size of an ordinary brick, and 2,5OO,OOO of them were laid. The cement re- quired totaled 3,SS2,900 pounds, while nearly 10,000,000 pounds of sand and 1.250.O00 pounds of fireclay were used. The total weight of the stack is 24,250 tons and the foundation laid for it's support measures 116 feet from the side to side, and for its construction nearly 120 railroad cars of rock were necessary, with AS railroad cars of sand and more than 10000 sacks of cement
 The scaffolding within the stack is forest of timber that formed the skeleton foundation from which the work was done. Seven elevators were used in the hoisting of men and ma terials.
 At the foot of the stack there are in the course of construction a sub station for electrical power, 20 units of a Cottrell fume treating plant, re- verberatory furnaces, arsenic plant and change houses for the employees. The Cottrell plant is laid out with a view of adding 20 more treater units should this prove necessary or desir- able in the future.
 The reverberatory furnace will be 100 feet long by 20 feet wide and it will smelt the Cottrell fluedust. This furnace will be connected with two sets of treators. one set of which will remove dust and the other will remove arsenic from the reverberatory gases. It is expected that the arsenic so col lected will be sufficiently pure to be marketable as crude arsenic without further refining. The new installation will add about 1 per cent to the plant recovery of metals and will remove any possible danger of damage from fumes to the surrounding country.
 The total cost of the new stack. the treater units. furnace. etc, will be more than s2.00O.O00 The Washoe Reduction works long have suffered

COPPER MARKET AT STANDSTILL
 FOR PRESENT
Change Looked for About Middle of This Month, When Future of Markets Will Be Decided

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 14.-The cop per market is at a standstill. COnsum- CTS, although putting out inquiries are not placing orders and it is not con- sidered likely that a change will take place in this situation until about the middle or December, when the future policy in the markets will be decided by a meeting of the copper interests with the members of the war indus tries board at Washington.
 It is known that there is a possibil- ity of the 26c price being continued until April 1 at the Washington gath ering which will be held on or about December 15 and according to one president of a copper company it is not impossible that there will be some action along the lines of making a minimum quotation with the copper men favoriHg a 26c figure.
 Should such a decision be reached it is expected that there will be buying rush by domestic consumers who have been forced to get along with small supplies for several years, and who are now holding off merely because of the uncertainty which exists at pres ent. There are large domestic orders coming. in the opinion of trade ex- perts, and when these materialize the market will become active.
 In addition it is known that there are export inquiries for large amounts. The French government alone is re- ported to be in the market for 100000 tons, but this has only been an inquiry thus far and no steps have been taken to actually place a contract for such large total.
 Copper authorities. however. state that it is known foreign governments will require huge totals for a few years, and they feel certain that the bulk of their needs will be supplied by the companies in this country. so that the export business also is ex- pected to be large in the next few years.
 Casting copper has been offered by some small uptown dealers in jobbers' lots at 24 1-2c per pound. but these of- ferings are not causing any anxiety in the trade, where it is pointed out that tdNllllb CopFEi l6 q Sidut btAoM cAtN- trolytic. and the sellers would be un- able to fill a reasonable demand even at a higher price if such a condition would develop.
 In normal times casting has always been quoted a cent or two under cleo trolytic. and it is possible that when the readjustment of the industry from the war to a peace basis is complete. the various grades will again assume their relative positions. This would put a premium on Lake copper over electrolytic. and casting would be somewhat lower than the popular grade
 There has been considerable talk of the labor question. but thus far a num- ber of the copper producing compsn- ies have not given this matter the at- tention that many believe necessary.

Without delay the Verde Combina- tion shaft will be sunk 200 feet deep CT and development of the promisins showing opened on the 10So will be prosecuted vigorously on the new level, says the Verde Copper News.
 This was the principal recommenda- tion embodied by Manager Dave Morgan in his annual report to the board of directors. The directors last night adopted MOrgan's report in full and authorized him to use his own judgment regarding future opera tions. Morgan has the necessary cable on hand and is today organiz ing his force for the resumption of sinking. While sinking is going on work will be continued in the No. $ southwest drift on the 10S0. which has already exposed a big body of schist carrying pyrite and chalco- pyrite.
