Total ...... 122,541, ,610 lS0,425.45S
 It is estimated that domestic con sumption is at the rate of about 45.-
 OOO.OOO pounds month, while total
 sales in April were probably not over SO,0OO,0D0 pounds for domestic ship
 ments. Export sales last month were
 between 10,0O0,OOO and f5,OO0 .OO0
 pounds. The present rate of foreign
 shipments is not over I5.O00. .OOO pounds a month. Total domestic and foreign requirements. therefore. are not over 600O0,00O pounds a month. while domestic smeiters. even with re- duced operations are turning out at least 100,000,0O0 pounds month It is evident, therefore, that surplus stocks were Increased about 10000 900 pounds last month: that is copper of domestic origin alone. while imports or 3O,0OO,000 pounds add that much to the burden.
 Output of refined copper is estimat- ed to have been about 150.OOO.O09 pounds in April. the refineries doins all possible to take care Of the steaGy flow or material from foreign sources as well as from the smelte-s in the west. Of course. it is desirable Co 'c CT .E ot he crude copper mrO refined metal, as in the latter form il becomes available las collateral for financing.
 Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that there should be renew ed talk of radical reduction of output at the mines and smelters. One re- port is that the Utah company Is con sidering further drastic curtailment: but apparently it is in South American rather than in North American mines that curtailment of operations should be made Average production in the united States is already down to 60 per cent capacity. It had been the in. tention to reduce to 50 per cent of pre-. Vious maximum operations, but in- creased efficiency among the miners prevented fulfillment of the original plans. A further reduction. therefore. Of 10 per cent to 15 per cent seems likely. With reduced output how. ever, overhead charges are increased and consequently the cost of produc- tion will be relatively higher.
 Exports of copper in April accord ing to custom house returns, were rather under than over 5000, O,0OO tons. so that total foreign shipments over the first four months of the year aver aged only about S6.OOO.OOO pounds a month. Imports during the same pe- riod averaged about S3.OO0O0O pounds a month. Since May 1, exports have been 11S6 tons, including 500 tons shipped to France. 4S5 tons to Eng land and 151 tons to Scandinavia. American Metal Market, May 5)

SILVER REPRODUCE OF MAGMA COPPER
Produced 463,000 Ounces of Silver Last Year; Ore
 Reserves Increase

An encouraging feature of the an. nual report of Magma Copper for 1918 is the increase in ore reserves to a greater total than for any year to date. On December 31, last, reasonably as sured coppersulphide ore reserves were estimated at 235,OOO tons, com pared with 130,O0O tons at the close of 1917, while reasonably assured lead zinc reserves were placed at 10000 tons, no change from the estimate made at the close Of 1917.
 The management continues to open up the property. and from devel- opments to date General Manager Browning says he can see no reason why present ore bodies should not ex- tend to considerable greater depths.
 On its net production last year Mag ma earned $519,S50, equivalent to s216 share, which S2 share was dis bursed in dividends. In 1918 earnings figured out s4.f5 a share, in 1916. to S4.57, and in 1915 to $255 share.
 The net cost of producing copper last year, excluding depletion but in cluding depreciation and all other charges and deducting the revenue from silver and gold was I6,425 cents a pound. against 16.01 cents a pound

April Copper SdIe Record
 Is Far From EncOurnqinq

The April records for copper sales are far from encouraging. It is esti- mated that the total sales in the first three weeks of April were under 20.- O00,O00 pounds. and unless the records of the last week show some unexpect- ed demands, the result of the April sales will not be much over 25. .OO0, ,OOO pounds. or about one-third of the 75,- 100000 pounds sold during the month of March.
 Regardless of the fact that copper today has declined to a lower level than any other commodity, copper sales are few and far between. De- stocking up for future requirements. and are only interested in day to day purchases, taking on only enough cop per to fill orders in their books for manufactured products.
 The products of the western mines and smelters are still going to east ern refineries in too large tonnage. and the stocks of the refined products are getting unwieldly.
 Although the larger producers have shown no apparent willingness to sac rifice their metal, much of that which was produced for the 26-cent market, some of the smaller producing inter. ests have been willing to make con sessions to attract buyers, and it is reported by the Boston News Bureau that one producer practically offered electrolytic copper at Is 1-2 cents per pound for immediate shipment.

Costs of supplies which in some phases have reached 15O per cent-and labor-which still holds against reductions in wages, will tenn porarily prevent a boom condition but labor-between 64 and 70 per cent Of total cost, will no doubt meet the readjustment conditions and share in the promised prosperity.

The American copper sellers and the industry as a whole are looking anxiously to every piece of news from the Peace Conclave at Paris. and are pinning their hopes to some economic arrangement whereby beaten GermanN can enter this market and buy neces- sary stocks of the metal. for it is well known that that country is particular. ly hard set for copper.
 The condition of the copper stock market is encouraging. One copper man, discussing the rising security prices in the face of a rather depress- ing metal market said:
 Our only encouragement in this situation is to see the way the COD. pers act in the stock market. If they are running true to form and dis counting traditionally the good busi- ness six months ahead, we can then see some light. but if copper buying does not appear in quantity before many moons. you are going to see a general shut down of copper mines, smelters and refineries. The output of metal must be shut off or the unsold account will capsize."
 In spite of the depressing market conditions, the copper producers of Arizona are maintaining about 50 per cent of their normal production, and from 50 to 70 per cent of the number of employees, placing the surplus of men on development work rather than on production. They are also making places for the returning service men who were formerly in their employ.

RICH SILVER STRIKE
 IS MADE NEAR BOWIE

BOWIE, May 24.-What promises to be one of the richest body of silver ore ever, uncovered in Arizona has been located by Mrs. Fannie Bart lett, J. O. Sturgeon and G. A. Ster- ling. Mrs. Bartlett discovered the ledge several years ago but until re. gently did not find a suitable party that she cared to trust with the de- velopment and sale Of the property. Several assays have been made of the ore showing II to 65 ounces of silver and $3 gold Sterling and Sturgeon were out to the property last week doing assessment work and find that the vein becomes rich CT and bigger as it is worked Two offers have been made for the prop erty and another buyer is on his way to oBwie to look over the proposi> tion. The ore will be comparatively easy to haul to Bowie if a mill is not erected upon the ground. There is plenty of water on the property which will be ideal for mining. L. c. Riggs has located and ope<led up a large vein of silver ore about one mile from the above property that runs from F ounces and up from surface ore.

GENERAL IMPETUS
 TO SILVER CAMPS
 NOW LOOKED FOR
Removal of Restrictions to Allow Many to Stage
 Come Backs"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-May 24.- With all restriction on export of sil
 yer removed by both England and the
 United States, the Western silver
 camps are looking for grand revival
 of the white metal. Costs of supplies
 which in some phases have reached
 150 per cent, and labor, which still
 holds against reductions in wages,
 will temporarily prevent boom con
 dition, but labor, between 65 and 70
 per cent of total cost, will no doubt
 meet the readjustment conditions and share in the promised prosperity. Thirty years ago silver sold at 92 cents an ounce. Low costs made sil- yer mining a good investment, and finds of rich ore created bonanza stampedes, and fortunes.
 Today 92 cents would produce profit for the big producers of mix ed" ores who develop silver as a side issue" but even S1 is not at tractive and silver miners found in- creasing costs ate the profits and de stroyed the Lure" of the game. The government is slow in returning the silver loaned to it during the war and inaction has been so marked during the past six months that even China's offer of s1.06 last week failed to en- courage a big movement. Wages will go back to a reasonable scale, based on costs and profits," said leading silver producer at the Amer ican Mining Congress headquarters. and then you will see many of the old camps come to life and the big producers unwater their neglected mines. It will be a big day for the West when that happens"
 Mexico, once a great silver produc- ing country, is so badly disorganized as the result of the continuous inter- necine strife, that very little silver has been produced from her mines during the past four years and she is now a negative quantity Tonopah and Cobalt, the two big producing districts in North America, have past the peak of their production and the fact that there has been a general slowing down of copper and lead, with which silver has been an import ant by-product. has resulted in al we'll nearly exhausted market and opens the way for quick rise in the white metal when labor costs can be adjusted. The annual demand fer sill yer eotals $50 million ounces an ex- cess of ITO million ounces above the annual production figures, which in- dicate that the silver miner will have his inning when once the upward begins.

NEVIS OF THE WEEK FROM DISTRICTS AR7ZON4
SILVER BONANZA IN NAC0zARI SONORA, IS
 WAITING FOR CAPITAL
Six Jerome Mexicans Own Property Reported to be
 Fabulously Rich

JEROME, May 24.-Asla result oi
 the meteoric rise of silver, the atten
 tion of the mining world is turning i to the producers fthe white metal
 This tendency has brought into the | limelight a remarkable prospect own ed by six Mexicans. Exceptionally rich specimens from this properly, the San Lncia. have been placed on exhibition here.
 The San Lucia is located in Mac ozari, in the state of Sonora, Mexico, and has been worked intermittently for the past six years by the owners, all of whom are employees of local mines. Regularly, once each year, the seXtette, through their labors in the United Verde and United Verde Extension, are enabled to amass a grubstake which will permit them to work on the property for a month or two at time. In this manner, the prospect is being slowly developed, but the owners have reached the limit of the operations possible to conduct without capital. and have now placed the property upon the market. The price asked flor the Mexican holding is $15O,0O0.
 The claims have been held by the Mexicans for the past six years. In this time they have sunk a shaft to the depth of 90 feet and are now drifting. From the face of the tun- nel which is 45 feet in length, assays show a value of 27O ounces of silver to the ton, F per cent copper and 32 per cent lead. The property is grow ing richer with depth, and the extent of the ore body has not been deter mined, though engineers declare the deposit is enormous
 The Santa Lucia adjOins the fam our Vulcan property which is a lit eral mountain of silver and zinc ore The Vulcan is worked from the sur-I face by means of benching opera tions.
 The owners of the Santa Lucia, all of whom have homes in this district, are Pastor Valdez, S. M. Crapeso, Casiano Lopez, Cenovia Estrada, FL enc Sequerious and Manual Loya.

 *Net.
 The average cost per pound of all net copper produced for the quarter was 15.15c This figure does not take into account credits for the value of the gold or silver, nor for miscellan- eous income, and compares with cost of 19.30c, similarly calculated for the previous quarter. These costs include a charge of 15c per ton of core milled for the retirement of mine develop ment expense, but are exclusive of es- inmates for federal income and excess profits taxes, for the obvious reason that earnings do not justify reserves for this purpose. Miscellaneous in- come for the quarter, including net receipts from gold and silver pro- duced, amounted to O0.76 per pound.
 The average carrying price of cop per for the quarter was 13.12c, as con- pared with 20SOc for the previous quarter.
 During the quarter there were mill ed 440,2O0 dry tons, averaging 1.793 per cent copper This tonnage cor responds to a daily average of 4,891 tons, as compared with S,757 tons for the previous quarter. The mill extrac- tion for the quarter was 77.SS per cent of the total copper contained in con centrating ores, as compared with 75.O5 per cent for the quarter of 1918.
 The present output is only about 50 per cent of normal. and it is hoped that further reduction of output will not become necessary, but 1t should be borne in mind that metal accumula- tions must be kept within the bounds of carrying resources.
 Operating costs have decreased in moderate degree and there are some further tendencies in that direction which it is hoped will evidence them selves gradually in the immediate fu- ture. thus permitting operations to continue at reduced capacity until in- creased metal prices are such as to in- sure at least a moderate profit upon such output as market demand may justify.

Mining Briefs

Copper depression has not shaken the confidence of the miners in the Warren district, who still continue to build homes, in spite of the high cost of building materials. During the war 300 new homes were built by min- CTS in the town of Warren. That Mexicans desire clean living conditions is shown by the demand for good houses in Tyrone, N. M., and the clean appearance of this town. The civic pride of the Mexican population prohibits even the throwing of waste paper into the street.
 The old Dominion company carried over 11,4S1, ,37S pounds of copper un- sold from 1918. This was copper pro- duced in 1918 under the government guarantee of 26 cents, but remained unsold when the government removed the guarantee on January l.
 Seventy-seven per cent of the Cop per Queen employees in Bisbee were members of the Employees Benefit association during 1918. This associa- tion offers sickness, health and total disability insurance to employees at a small percentage of the old line com pany rates.

"All right" said the manager, that
seems to be the custom here. What
do you want me to do?"
"First, we want you to double our
wages"
"All right. Everybody would like
double wages"
"Then we want a month instead OF

"That's fine; myself like months
vacation"
"And for the months vacation we
want the pay double again"
"Now, I never thought Of that. But
now that do it's true that on vaca-

So the manager was elected and he
occupied desk next to the American
