 from inadequate flue capacity and draught and the new chimney will remedy all these troubles, affording such a tremendous draught power that the company practically will find no limit to any capacity it might be wish ed to increase the shelter works. In addition the increased flue range en- ables an increased recovery of the metals.
 Incidentally the brickyard of the Anaconda company had its capacity increased from 16,O00 to 50,000 brick daily in order to meet the demands of the new stack, and the company now is in a position to supply the brick market of Montana. These brick are being made from the tailings from the Notation concentrator and will sus- utain a pressure in excess of the ordi- nary clay brick and present a far dressier appearance than the ordinary brick, the texture being finer and the color a greyish white, resembling somewhat a firebrick in looks.

 Some of the trade interests say there might be some weight to esti- mates like the one referred to if a segregation of the figures were given and it was explained how the total was arrived at. If that had been done," said one man, we could see just how much credence could be placed in the estimate, but as it is now possibly the best thing that could be done would be to ignore it. Perhaps the action of the copper stocks on the stock exchange will explain the reason for the estimate?"
 Domestic business in copper metal continues negligible, some small or ders having been placed at the 26c price Casting copper is again being offered in small parcels by uptown dealers at 24 1-2c per pound, but these offerings are having no influence on the larger sellers who are maintaining the fixed quotation.

CONSOLIDATED SHOWS
 DECREASE IN OUTPUT

A slight decrease from the figures of October production is shown by the November report of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company of Hum boldt. Its total output in bullion dur ing that month amounted to 1,OSO,OOO pounds of copper shipped to eastern refineries.
 From the Blue Bell, De Soto and Swastika mines the total ore ship ments to the Humboldt shelter amounted to 12,OO0 tons. The company concentrating mill treated total of 7200 tons of material while the smelt- CT handled 14,000 tons. of which 12,- 200 was new metal bearing material.

NEW YORK. Dec. 14-Reports of offers to sell electrolytic copper at a recession from the 26c level are heard in the trade. but in the important cir cles it is stated that these rumors can not be verified, although it Is admit ted that there is a possibility of some small losts of resale copper being offered contrary to the rulings of the War industries board. The feeling in important trade circles continues optimistic, judging from the views heard.

AIRMEN WORK WELL

LONDON, Nov. IT. - Liberated Bruges afforded a striking testimony to the work of the allied airmen. It was attacked by bombers because the Germans had made it an important base for submarines. Its extensive docks, connected with the sea by canals, formed a safe haven where the German U-boats could be built, fitted and repaired for their work of destruc- tion. The raids of the allied airmen were directed solely at these objec- tives. and despite the enormous dam age done to them the rest of the town suffered hardly at all.

 It may not be at all unlikely that the copper company managers will make no special effort to increase production at this time. and it is known that some companies which had been short of labor have made no attempt to increase their froces since the middle of November. How ever, with favorable weather condi- tions the December output figures, it IS said in the trade. should at least equal November and may possibly exceed it.

It is asserted that as long as govern ment supervision and control con- tinues there can be no reduction in wages, especially if the 26c fixed price is continuer.
 It is admitted, however, that this question will be a leading one when the readjustments have been com pleted, but whether this will be soon or not no one is willing to predict Wages being paid today are about the highest in the history of the industry.

 This lower output naturally means higher costs Although the amounts are comparatively small, the higher wages granted to employees during the present year as well as increases for materials and supplies will be reflect ed in an advance in pound costs. Even with a normal increase in production this year it is doubtful if costs could be held down to last year figures on account of the higher operating ex- penses.

BODY OF
CASPUR GOOD IS
VIEWED BY Jury
Body Found On Trail Above Wood
River Brought to Town For
Inquest.

Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald and
Deputy Marshal James Hagen, who
left for Wood river on Sunday to
investigate the report that the body
of a man had been found in that
vicinity by an Indian, returned to
town late yesterday afternoon with
the frozen remains of Casper Good.
The body was found on wood trail
which joins the Nenana-F Fairbanks
trail about two miles above Wood
river.
The man had not frozen to death,
as the authorities had been led to
believe by the story brought to town
by the Indian who discovered the
body. Investigation showed that the
throat had been cut, and the dis
covery of a razor near the body
points strongly to suicide. This,
however, will be determined more
definitely tomorrow, when the in
quest will be held.
A coronor's jury was impaneled
this afternoon and careful inspec-
ton of the body made. Tomorrow
the jurymen will hear such additional
evidence as the authorities have to
present, in connection with the case.
The dead man was we'll known in
this part of Alaska. He was in the
employ of Herb Wilson for a time,
and before coming to Nenana, he
worked at Chatanika and elsewhere
in the Fairbanks district. He was
a man about SIS years of age, and
wore a gray mustache. He had evil
IDENTIFY been dead about week when
the body was discovered.

Bridge At Nenana Crossing

The nine bents of eleven piles
each double rows of five piles with
one pile at the upstream end) sup
porting 24-foot spans across the
main channel of the Nenana river,
have been driven, squared and cut
off in readiness for the trusses to be
placed in position. This work, how
ever, will not be taken in hand un-
til steel reaches the bank of the
river at the Crossing. The work of
cribbing in these nine bents is go
ing on and is rapidly nearing COM
pletion. For some distance around
the piling the ice is cut away to
allow of the cribbing being started
from the river bed up, and when
this has reached some distance above
waterline the space between the crib
bling and the piling is filled with
heavy gravel and rocks which lodge
firmly therein and add greatly to
the stability and resisting power of
each supporting pier. The big pile
driver is working continuously, three
shifts of men being employed, so
that the work can be completed be-
fore the breakup, and in spite of
the fact that the work has been held
up for several days owing to bad
weather and windstroms, very salts
factory progress has been made
The piledriver is now busy driving
the piling for the approach on the
near side of the river, this approach
will consist of IT bents of five
piles each with a distance of II feet
intervening between the bents. A
miniature railroad from the piers of
the new bridge, and running to the
bluff about couple of hundred
yards above, is in constant use dur
ing the day, and over this road
dump cars of the same type as
those used by the grading contrac
tors, are busily employed hauling
the necessary material used for fill
ing in the cribbing around the piers.
residency is now the busiest camp
on the whole division and boasts of
quite a population, as such go in
construction camps.

FAIRBANKS WOMEN
ROAST MUCKRAKER

There is story in circulation in
Fairbanks to the effect that three
prominent women of the upper town
visited the home of former woman
member of the school board yester-
day and pulled that lady's nose in
dividually, collectively and vigor-
ously because of certain uncompli-
mentary statements which had been
made before the grand jury in an
effort to discredit a certain public
official.
The fact that the woman whose
nose was pulled, had appeared be-
fore the grand jury, did not become
generally known until after the
grand jury had adjourned. But
when it did become known, the other
women in the case were not slow
to show their disapproval of the
manner in which they had been at
tackled.

F fairbanks Jury
RETURNS VERDICT
GRAY IS GUILTY
Yukon River Man Held Responsible
For Death of Townsend At
Rampant.

FAIRBANKS, April 9.-After a
elaboration covering the greater
part of the night, the jury in the
Gray first degree murder case reach
ed a verdict at o'clock this morn
ing, the decision of the jurymen
being that Gray caused the death
of Townsend, at Rampant, last year,
but that the verdict should read
guilty of manslaughter, instead of
first degree murder as charged in
the complaint.
The prosecution made a strong
case against the accused, but the
fact that Townsend did not die un-
til some time after he had been
assaulted by Gray, influenced the
jury to bring in verdict on the
lesser charge.

LONDON, April 9-Addresing the
house of commons today, David
Lloyd George declared that the
Allies are now entering the most
critical period of the war and that
an emergency has arisen which
makes it necessary for England to
send men into the fight for liberty
who heretofore have been either too
old or too young. Men of so and
boys of Is are now needed by the
Allies, he said, and no time must be
lost in preparing them for active
service Continuing the premier
said that it would not be possible
even, to exclude Ireland from con-
scription, so urgent has the need
for additional troops become.
The premier assured the members
of the house that the full strength
of the American fighting force would
be thrown into the \astle immedi-
'ately, but this force, he said, had
not reached the numerical strength
that had been expected by the Allies.
Therefore the urgency of providing
additional English and French sol
diers.
At the beginning Of the present
battle of the Somme, the Germans
had as many men on the Western
front as the combined fighting
strength of the Allies, and while
the forces are now more evenly di-
vided, the Germans are still superior
in number at many points.
To meet the emergency which has
arisen, it is the intention of Lloyd
George to introduce a measure,
known as the new man power bill,
making every man in the United
kingdom, under 81 years of age,
liable to military service.

Nenana club rooms last eveting for
the benefit of the yarn fund which

and won, but not having any use for
for the prize, which happened to be
a boulder cap, the doctor turned it
lover to the lady with the next high
est score. The BOBBY prize was won
by Ike Taylor.
The lucky ones in the series of
hearts were Mrs. Slippern and Mr..
Clausen, who both won first prizes

use of the locomotives have almost

stacked cordwood await the coming

cheering camp at 43-mile the coal
bunker is almost full, and is being
added to daily. A considerable
quantity of wood cut by some of the
contractors in the neighborhood of
Lost Slough, and which has been
glacered in will also be available
as soon as the ice melts and the
country has been drained, and thus
