COUNTY BUYS GOVT. TRUCK.

Grant county has purchased a two
ton Nash quad equipped with dump
board and power hoist from the fed
eral government The truck worth
$4,000, cost the county $500. The
purchase came thru the state highway
commission at Madison which has the
allotment of this class of government
equipment constructed for war work.
Several more may be bought at these
very reasonable figures. Henry Mink,
county highway commissioner, has
bought 1000 pounds of explosive of
the government at ten cents a pound.
At wholesale this would cost % cents
a pound.

COrneIiG Copper Files 4 sset List

BOSTON. Mass, Jan. I1-In connec- tion with listing of its stock on the Boston Stock exchange New Cornelia Copper company has filed a statement of assets and liabilities as of Septem- Der 30, 1918. This shows since the list of December, 1917, the company has had converted into stock practically all of its S3,951 ,000 bonds and by Sep tember 90 last had paid off all but S949.564 of S3,330.45S floating debt. Since the date of the balance sheet the company has paid off the balance of notes and enters 1919 with a clean slate. excepting, of course. current ac- counts payable

trary matter. for American and MeXi-
 can producers could, and would, have
 undersold that price sharply if they
 had been able to arrange with the
 steamship companies for carriage of
 the metal, which they could not do.
 The talk that there has been about
 maintaining prices, large orders in
 prospect, etc, has been a sort of cam
 ouflage of a disagreeable situation.
 The matter that has been most in the
 minds of the producers has been the orderly liquidation of governmental stocks. In the early days following the armistice some of them resented the cancellation of orders and in an obtuse way though, that they were accomplishing something helpful when they obtained rescindment of cancel lations and could continue to put metal into the hands of the govern ment It was soon seen, however. that the accumulation and holding of large stocks by the government would be a menace to the market, and the present thought, economically sound, is to see that such stocks are dis SOOA POooAbANF "AAA N+AN minimum of disturbance. The plans that are being urged are based on the idea of a regular disposition spread over a period of a year, say, the dis tribution to be managed pro rata by the producers in connection with the sale of their new product.
 It will be best to defer discussion of the conditions that have produced the present situation until the statistics of production in 1918, and other sta tistics, are available. It looks, how ever, as if the worlds output of tin will show only a small increase, if any, as compared with 1917, while the total for copper and lead are all but certain to show a decrease. Zinc will surely show a decrease. Thus, the producing of these metals was not overdone. On the other hand, the curtailment of ''non-essential con was probably carried too lar.

determined that the bodies of ore in
 this Yavapai schist may be expected
 to have great depth.
 The annual meeting Of the Copper Queen company is Co be held shortly
 when it will be finally decided to
 build an oil Notation mill to handle ore already blocked out. The mine is located east and adjoining the Bing- hampton
 The Big Bug company has the gas hoist installed and working at a new shaft on the company's property a mile and a half south of the Bing- hampton and mining men who have been out to see. state that some very fine ore is in the shaft which has the indications of becoming a big proposition. A sample of the ore taken this week gave an assay of 45 per cent. It is mostly copper glance The shaft has reached a depth of about 75 feet and is to be sunk to the S0O-foOt level.
 Another very promising company is the Little Egypt, which is developing a number of claims almost within the city limits of Mayer. A tunnel is be- ing driven from the creek side toward an old shaft Sufficient ore is being taken out of the tunnel work to pay working expenses. A steam hoist has been installed at the old shaft which will be sunk to the 500-foot level.
 W. D. Mahoney of Jerome has taken a new lease of life on the Western Copper company which is developing the old Patton mine, lying between the BinghamptOn and the Big Bug properties. A shaft is to be sunk on the east side of the property.
 Ore has been encountered in the shaft of the Kay mine at the 500 level. It is supposed to be the main ore body that has been so thoroughly and extensively developed on the 500 level. Coming in at that depth would indicate that the ore body has wid- ened out uniformly toward the foot wall and when the cTOss-eutting be- gins at the $50 level in the next few days. something very interesting may be expected in the way of large ore developments. Work has been com hleucru Ou lue uUTln Sudll WHICH IS 2000 feet from the main shaft. At this place an ore body of considerable size has been opened up on the TO- foot level.
 The Kay mine, located at the south ern end of Black canyon, is now shar- ing its notOriety with the Orizaba, an old mine located about eight miles southeast of the Kay on another belt of copper it has been owned for some time by J. K. Truman of Phoe- nix who developed it to the 10O-foot level It has recently been taken over by N. L. Amster of Boston, who has the OTizaba Development A very complete mine has been installed On the l0O-toot level, a body of ore has been cut through that will average better than 4 per cent copper across a face 34 feet wide. It is believed to be one of the big copper mines of the state

 That the policy of curtailment will work out advantageOusly to all classes of producers is the opinion of the trade. The various companies can weed out their operating forces in such a way that only the best miners will be kept at work, and as a re- suit efficiency will be increased and operating costs reduced to some eX- tent.
 Another factor which will work out toward reducing the cost of production is the wage scale, which is expected to be adjusted in the next few weeks. l. Is the firm intention of the leaG- ing copper authorities to put the pay Of its workers back to its old scale which is based or the selling price of the metal. and the miners are expect ed to be reduced to the 23c scale shortly.
 In it's current number the Engineer ing and Mining Journal says:
 The more fully are details revealed respecting governmental positions Tn copper. lead, zinc, and tin, the more serious does the position of those metals appear to be. In each case the stocks on hand are greater than any one engaged in production and com merce ventured 10 estimate, and the officials to whom were available the statistics of the invisible stocks, es- pecially of tin, apparently paid no great attention to them or did not know what they meant.
 In copper, American producers were estimated about a month ago to have approximately S00,O00,0O0 lbs of crude copper in stock and in transit, and the quantity must have been increased during December Australia has about 90. 900 .000 pounds and Japan must have a large supply It has become known within few days that the British government has 62,00O,000 pounds of refined and the American govern ment between 75.000.000 and 100000 900 pounds How much is held by the

French government and by manufac- turers everywhere? How much has been, or will be, salvaged from the battlefields and from sunken ships that will be raised?
 The surplus of copper has not re- suited from any great increase in pro duction in 1918. On the contrary, the indications are rather strong that the, statistics of the worlds production in 1918, for which preliminary figures will be abailable in a few days, will show a considerable decrease from 1917.
 In lead We find a similar situation. Large stocks exist in America and Great Britain, the British government reporting 49,000 long tons of its own, while supplies have backed up in Aus tralia.
 The British government has report ed holding 1S,769 long tons of com mon spelter and 6544 tons of high grade. Stocks in the hands of Ameri- can producers are about 35,0OO tons, a decrease from the figure of October 1, but there is reason to surmise that the invisible supply in this coun- try is large. Stocks of zinc ore are superfluous in the Joplin district and in Australia.
 American consumers on tin are sup posed to have had about 10000 tons of tin on hand in November and 10000 tons bought in the Orient by the United States Steel Products com pany. is on the way hither. This would provide for the normal con sumption of this country for about six months, irrespective of the pro duction from Bolivia ore by American smelters. who will soon be turing out nearly 2O0O tons per month. In Great Britain the stocks of tin are also reported to be large.
 With this situation there is no req son for surprise respecting the fail ure of buyers to appear in want ot metal at recent prices. Nor that lead broke to offering at 6c when free market was declared last Saturday. Nor that the London Metal exchange quotations for copper opened at about zoe. Nor that tin declined in Lon don to about SIC. Nor that the high grade zine here has been unstable on offerings at 9c. The rise in lead in London 10 $40 on November 26. which quotation has since then been maintained, was manifestly an srbi-
