The Prospect for the Metels.

Engineering and Mining Journal.
VIE have previously expressed the
opinion that eventually there is going
to be a great demand for the metals
for reconstruction purposes, for the
replenishing of the depleted stocks of
goods for ordinary commercial pur-
poses, and for new construction for
such as a more general use Of water
power, ETC. But before that is to be
expected we regard it as inevitable
that there will be a period of read
justment, during which there will be
lower prices. Such markets as have
been free to do So especially zinc and
antimony, and even tin, in spite Of
it's restrictions, have already been re-
| fleeing this. However, there is con-
siderable reason to expect irregular
conditions, and while most metals may
go down, some may hold at their pres
ent levels and others may even rise.
Thus the demand for silver for finan-
cial purposes may perhaps maintain
| its present price. while the acute short
age of platinum may not inconceivably
result in a rise in its market when 1t
becomes quite free. But nobody en-
tertains any such expectation with
regard to iron, copper, lead and zinc.
The continuance of control Of these
metals (Which never has been more
than partial in the case of Zinc) by
the war industries board gives rise
to some misunderstanding as to just
what it means. That body did not
for example, ever fix the price for
copper in the sense that it guaranteed
It for a certain period. 1t fixed
maximum above which sellers might
not CO. The hanging of the price at
that maximum meant that at no time
was there enough copper to satisfy
the demand, and persons desiring cop
per had to be rationed. II there had
been at any time more than enough
copper, the price would have receded
from the stipulated maximum price,
lust as high grade zinc declined be-
low the maximum price Of IL cents
that was fixed for it.
Copper.
Now. the war industries board in
ir making a new agreement with the
copper producers whereby the latter
promise to maintain production ana
not to reduce wages, the board reaf-
firming the price Of 26 cents. does not
saw that it will maintain that price,
which it could do only by buying all
the copper that was offered to it, but
apparently means only that 1t Will
not resell any copper over which IT
has control at less than that price, and

STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS
MINING CORPORATIONS
MAY EXAMINE THE BOOKS AND

ANY TIME.

In response to an inquiry the Min

holders to examine the books of the
company and to inspect the mine,
which includes the services of an ex-

In copper especially there will be
new international conditions. We are
buying from abroad. In Great Britain
there has already been formed big
metals company, while in France an
association has been organized. These
will be met by an American selling
corporation or association, in which
producers Will unite under the per-

Quoting of international business
among such powers. and the reactions

doubt develop highly interesting things.
In the meanwhile there are no buy
ers, either foreign or domestic, and
there is general reluctance among
politicians to admit that Industrial
business cannot be resumed at the
price scales of war basis, in which
cost did not enter so much into the
calculations as exigency. But what
ever be the reluctance on the part Of
anybody, or whatever desire there may
be to compel the public to pay the
piper, it will be the force Of circum-
stances that will drive,

sideration in the lead situation is that
the mines are probably less able &c
maintain production than are the cop
per mines, more serious inroads upon
their developed resources having been
made.
Zinc has conditions peculiar to itself.
1t Is the only one of the major metals
that has had a free market during the
whole period that the United States
was at war, and Is the only one that
has had an accumulation of market
able product in producers hands. The
industry stands immensely oyerbuilt
as to smelling capacity and override
veloped as to mining and milling ca
pacity, with the prospect that plant

which was put much of the profit OF

the domestic large proportion has
been for brass making for ammuni-
ton that will be summarily suspended.
At the same time the industry ex-
periences internal competition from
mining districts possessing rich ore
and metallurgical districts enjoying
favorable conditions that are bound to
be influential factors. 1t Is true that
abor conditions, both in zinc mining
md in zinc distilling, have been al
most intolerable, and during 1913 the
price for the metal has been most Of

regarded as the equivalent of 5 cent

 USED BY HUNS . DUGOUT HOMES

Behind the Franco-American Lines Priceless tapestries, paintings, fur niture of the Louis XIV period, grand pianos and rich portiers found by the Hun in Chateau Thierry were carried away by him n his retreat and used to furnish dugouts.
 Following the German retreat, American units inspecting the enemy dugouts for concealed boches found the elaborately furnished subter- ranean apartments. The care and design of the furniture varied with the rank of the officer, it was dis covered. At one of the quarters that of German general-the sides of the dugout were lined first with lumber footed from the town and over the lumber were placed en- broidered portiers. To prevent dust from falling from the roof, which had been first protected by corru- gated sheetiron, several artistic tapestries had been attached.
 The grand piano was found in the headquarters of regiment l. was thought by the -tmc:!cans that here the regimental staff reveled over their first successes and the use of German artists to play the instrument was resorted to. Finely carved tables and chairs were found in profusion in this rendezvous. Other dugouts were furnished also

in elaborate style varying in de- gree with the rank of the occupant.
 Beds from Chateau Thierry took up much of the space in some of the higher officers quarters. Down under twenty to thirty feet of earth could be found handsome bedroom suites In some cases, due to the haste which the retreating Huns were forced to exercise, the beds had not been used since they hac been made in the morning and were ready for occupancy Models of comfort, they were mute evidence that the retreat of the Germans had been hasty one.
