SULzER COPPER MINE CLOSES
 DOWN FOR TIME:
DeIegate-eIect Closes Mine on Account of Depres- sion in. Copper Mining
 Industry.

Delegate Elect Charles A. Sulzer has closed his copper mine at Sulzer on account of the failure of the cop per market, and will not resume op- erations until there is a recovery in the market It is believed this will not be for six months or year. The last shipment made by the Sul ger mine netted only about 12 cents a pound, and some of the smelters are now refusing toaccept copper ore at any price.
 The Rush and Brown mine at Ka- 3aan recently shipped cargo of ore to the Anyox shelter, where it had been accustomed to marketing it's ore, from which it expected $25,000 returns. It was notified that the ore was there on the wharf subject to the mines orders, as it would not take it at any price.
 Copper Industry At Low Ebb
 "The copper mining industry is at a low ebb, and will remain so until the surplus metal in the coun- try about one billion poundsTis Is lbsorbed,' said B. L. Thane, discus sing that phase of the situation in the West, this morning. There has been practically no demand for cop per metal in Europe since the war ended" continued Mir Thane, and until the countries over there re- adjust themselves, the copper miners have to depend wholly upon the local demand, which is over supplied
 The result of this situation has been that all the big copper prop critics have either reduced their out puts, or they have closed down com oletely. Many small mines are clos ing down.
 Former Mayor B. D. Stewart, the we'll known Juneau mining engineer, who has been superintendent of the Sulzer mine for more than year. and a half has returned to Juneau.

SARAH BERNHARDT IN "MOTHERS OF FRANCEv COMING

John Spickett has secured for Saturday and Sunday matinee Sarah Bernhardt in "Mothers of France. He has been wired to hurry the film
 trough Alaska and back to Seattle owing to the great demand, and has been forced to make his arrange ,ments hurriedly for putting it on il Juneau.
 The purchase that staggered the film industry occurred when the World Film Corporation, in the face of bitter and tremendous competition bought "Mothers of France for tn. World franchise holders. The mo ment that it became known that this famous movie in which Sarah Bern hardt does the supreme work of her career, was for sale in this country, nearly all the film companies in America became competitors for this masterpiece It was in the face of this dogged, intense competition that the World purchased the attraction and released it to the holders Of World franchises.
 Every person who sees "Mathers of France will realize why the com petition for this film was so eager and so bitter This film is undoubt edly the wonder film of the world It is so big, so vivid, so vital, so tremendously timely and withal SC artistic tthat it is in class by it self When to all this is added the wonderful artistry of Madame Bern hardt and the sweetest love story ever told, it will be evident that here is feature picture that cannot be judged by ordinary standards oi interest, entertainment and educa -fion To see Mothers of France" is to see the film masterpiece of the world.

"NEIGHBORS" IS NEXT ATTRACTION AT THE PALACE

Tomorrow evening at the Palace
 will be seen "Neighbors," This is
 rather an appealing picture story
 that will find favor with most all
 of those who see it. Although it is
 rather bare of plot, being presented
 rather as a series of happenings, it
 manages to hold the interest quite
 well and through the wholesomeness of the surroundings and the natur-
 alness of the acting the film can be classed as most satisfactory
 program feature.
 Madge Evans again proves her right to stardoin, for she puts over
 mighty clever performance as the little girl heroine of the story. This little girl star is at all times de lightfully natural and plays with the charm of youth in such a way as to make sure of registering every scene. Johnny Hines does we'll in the role of Paul, while Violet Palmer
 handles her part like a veteran Others that deserve praise for their work are Maxine Elliott Hicks as | the girl from Clarissa's, Mathilde Brundage as the mother and Kitty Johnson as the girl Paul's mother | wants him to marry.
 The photography has been well handled and the lighting is all that could be asked for. Frank Crane has turned out finished picture
 and deserves great credit for his 1 fine work.
