DEEP COPPER DEPOSITS.
NEW IDEA IN LOCATION
CONGRESSMAN HAS PLAN TO
ENCOURAGE EXPENSIVE
PROSPECTING.

Carl Hayden, congressman from
Arizona, has introduced a bill H. R.
10433 to provide for the disposal of
public lands in Arizona, New Mexico,
Nevada and Utah containing copper at
depth. The legislation proposed by
the Hayden bill is designed to meet
and deal with a condition to which
the existing federal mining laws are
not, from the practical standpoint,
applicable.
The important copper deposits in
the states mentioned, do not occur in
technical vein or lode formation, but
in extensive low grade bodies, usually
underlying a heavy overburden of
wash, conglomerate, or non-mineral
hearing formation. To discover such
underlying deposits deep and expen-
'sive drilling or shaft sinking is neces-
sary, requiring months and even years
for It's accomplishment. Under ex-
listing law a discovery in such a drill
hole or shaft could serve to validate,

claim, 1900 by 900 feet, or an area of
only about 20 acres, which is abso-
Iautely insufficient to Justify the great
outlay involved.
In the past the mining communi-
ties have attempted to meet the con-
ditions by locating claims and doing
annual assessment work in the over
burden. Such claims, in most in
stances unsupported by any semblance
of discovery, have been by the com.
munities recognized as property an6
bought and sold as such, but, general
ly speaking, the ground has remained
Fundeveloped.
Patent Without Discovery.
In many instances meagre surface
showings, not connected with the un'
DERIVING deposits, have been claimed
as discoveries and even made the ba
sis of patent proceedings. In tn
early days the land department di'
mot critically examine into the matte
of discovery unless the question wer
raised by protest or contest, and larg
numbers of such claims were patent
ed, This was the case at Bisbee, Ar
, izona, where the ore formation occur
at a depth of 1000 feet or more. 1
, later years the department has es
) tablished the practice Of requiring
[ detailed showing as to the characte
and quality of discovery claimed an
Q of making, through its field service

A result, the department has been cor

Feels Competition keenly.

Great Britain is still struggling
with the problem Of producing iron
and steel for local consumption
against the competition of the United
States, Germany, France n Bel

and labor have made this problem
very difficult, but conditions appear
to be improving, and a fairly steady
output of iron and steel has been
maintained.-Bureau of Mines Miner

CAUsEs AND REMEp1Es.

The United States council of ma
tional defense, composed of the secre-
taries of war, navy. interior. agricul-
ture, commerce and labor, has made
q careful investigation of the high
cost-of-living problem, and finds:
That the nations productive powers
have not been fully utilized since the
eFmistice.
That too few goods, notably the ne
cessities Of life, have been produced,
and that even some of these goods
have been withheld from the market,
and therefore from the people.
That the high cost of living is due
in part to unavoidable war-waste and
increase of money and credit.
That there has been and is eonsid-
cradle profiteering, Intentional and
unintentional.
The council believes that the RENE
edies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to pro-
duce. them in proportion to the needs
OF the people.
To stamp out profiteering and STOP
unnecessary boarding.
To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish proffteering and needless
| boarding.
To bring about better cooperation
and method in distributing and mar
keting goods.
| To keep both producer and con.
sumner fully informed as to what goods
are needed and as to what supplies are
available, SO that production may an
ticipate the eountry's demands.
The main facts above set forth ars
we'll known to everybody and have
been for a long time. 1t was not nee
essary for the presidents cabinet Of
ficers to repeat them. 1t is easy tc
tell others what to do but what are
these cabinet members doing toward
| remedying conditions?

POINTING THE WAY.

Vice President Noonan of the
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, in
convention in New Orleans recently.
made the following very striking
analysis of the labor situation and the
need of increased work to meet the
danger which we face:
I'VE cannot force the contractors to
pay US more than they get out Of their
contracts. The employer cannot force
us to work for less than we can live
on. The public cannot afford to pay
exorbitant sums for work done. Tilt
ing wages, on the one hand, results in
fitting prices on the other. The mass
of people cannot stand this forever.
Capital everywhere is studiously
considering wayseand means topinten-
sify production of goods and materials
as the only solution. We. in turn,
must consider ways and means to in
tensify our production by doing more
work in the same time than we have
been doing.
Gone is the day when we could
think it was simply case of getting
all we could for our labor. Gone is
the day when capital endeaVered to
get all that it could for the least it had
to pay. II has now come to a condi-
ton where capital and labor are vital
ly concerned in the economic disaster
that is sure to overtake our country
should conditions continue as they
have been going.
I'VE have fought for the salvation
of our country and its principles. and
that end was accomplished. Now we
must work for a salvation from threat
ened disaster that looms more omi-
nously than did miiitarism. The day
of dog eat-dog has passed. Go home
and put your shoulders to the wheel,
stop extravagances and do all that you
can to choke radicaiism wherever you
find it,"
How different in tone are the words
of Mr.. Noonan from those of the Fos-
1t is encouraging to note that the
ideas expressed by him are rapidly
gaining ground in the ranks of labor.
In the membership of the labor unions
loyal Amerieanism and good sense
largely predominant and that the pa
triotic element will not submit to the
leadership of the radical alien ele-
ment has been demonstrated in the
steel strike. The tail will not be per-
mitted to wag the dog
