MASON VALLEY MINES CO.
MANAGERS REPORTt

General Manager, A. B. McNab OF
the Mason Valley Mines Company
includes the following items of in
terest in his annual report
Operations were continuous thru
out the year. Two furnaces were
in blast from December 18th, 1917,
to April 9th, 1918; when it became
necessary to shut down on account
of the power shortage due to the
necessity of overhauling the long dis
tance transmission lines. After this
condition was remedied it was found
advisable to operate only one furnace.
The cost OF both mining and
smelling was increased over 1917 due
to increased cost of labor, coke and
other supplies. The labor situation
throughout the year was difficult and
considerable trouble was experienced
al times, in getting a sufficient
supply.
During the year 36943 tons OF ore
and 1869 tons of metal bearing
fluxes were smelted, of which ll7,25l
tons of ore from the Company's
property, 7SS from properties held
under option and 2lS,904 from out
side properties.
From the above tonnage there was
produced S0S969 ounces of gold,
9l,S24 ounces of silver and also
l5,475,85l pounds of copper
From Vice President Frank w.
Holmes report these items were
clipped.
THE refined copper production Tor
the year from all sources was lo.-
475,85l pounds. The average selling
price of copper delivered by the
company during the year was za.oi
cents per pound.
OF the ores from outside smelted
during the year about 81 per cent
was produced by the Bluestone MIN
ing and Smelling Company and the
Consolidated Cop
per Company. The Copper produced
from these Companies ores is re-
turned to them for sale.
In view of the uncertainty OF the
price and market for copper, your
Directors decided that the interests
OF the stockholders would be better

9th smelter at Kenneth, near Red

The Balaklava mine, which furn-
ishes the copper ore for the smelter,
also will suspend it is said. Seven

GOVT OFFICIAL
 ACCEPTS DEFY
Ballentine of Carpenters s Union Says Men Will
 Work for Government,

Challenging a representative of the United States Housing Corporation at the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad station in this city to- day, Henry c. Ballentine a delega te Of the local Carpenters Inion, said that if the United States government or a bona fide represent tive of the government would give the carpen- ters bona fide state nent which would stand the acid test in Washing ton, and would say housing construc- tlon in this city was being carried on by the government and not by the Caudwell- Wingate company, the car penters would return to work in one hour.
 The government representative ac- cepted the challenge and promised to give Mir. Ballentine a written state nent to the effect that housing work | being carried on this city was under the direct supervision of the govern ment, and for some time past the i Cauldwell- Wingate company were only in charge of the mason work and had nothing to do with the carpentry. i The little scene at the station start ed when a representative of the gov ernment met men on train from Hartford who had come to this city in answer to an advertisement for car penters on government work. A representative of the local union stepped up to the men in an orderly manner and told them the situat ton here, that carpenters were on strike because New York construction com panies refused to meet the demands of the carpenters ill that city. and men going to work for the Cauldwell- Windsate company would lose their union cards
 At this point the government repre- sentative interposed to say the men wouRa work directly for the United States government and not for the Cauldweli-Wingat company.
 MT. BaHentfne then stepped forward from al obscure corner and Issued his challenge.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-27

Twenty one men who came from Worcester were induced by the Bridgeport union to return. Twenty five were hired and are now on the government payroll. MT. Parker further said:
 "The New York carpenters had an agreement with the Master Builders Association in New York which did not expire until Dec. 31, involving ar bitration of disputes. Then men ask ed for an increase and then walked out in November, thus breaking their agreement. The men were called out on the Bridgeport work on Dec. 23. Both these acts occurred before the termination of the agreement, not after"
 "The men in New York were ask ing for S6.50 per day. The men in Bridgeport were and still are getting S6.40 per day.
 "The Cauldwell-Wingate Company from the beginning of the work have been merely the agents of the govern
