UNLOADING TIRES

ut is certainly some job" remark
ed Jim COyle. manager of the Imperial

tion in referring to the unloading Of
The two carloads of Savage castings
which came direct from the factory
on the first train over the new San

simply demonstrates the faith the
big men behind the Savage Tire Cord
poration have in the business pros !
poets in the Valley, and as the Savage |
Tire Corporation never does anything |
half way, they decided that they1
would place at the command of the
Valley automobilist every service that
the Savage San Francisco, Los AMI
@eles or Denver branches give. And |
all Savage branches are noted for |
the excellence of their service "We |
want the patronage of the. Valley |

and are glad Of the opportunity to do
so. And nobody has to come to q
Savage Tire branch with his coat off,
due to the corporations policy which

Few persons in Imperial valley real
ize the magnitude of the tire industry |,
right here at their doors. Every tire

Savage tires are sold in Spain, Cuba,

AJO LOUD IN PRAISE
 OF HEROIC EFFORTS OF
 BISBEE HELMET CREW
C. & A. Men Save Water Supply of District by
 Queeling Shaft Fire
(special to the Reviewl

AJO, May 10-The people of the Ajo Mining district are decidedly inn pressed with the daring and fearless Helmet team of the Calumet and Ari- zcna Mining Company of Bisbee, Ari- zona, which arrived at the we'll of the New Cornelia Copper company in this district oD Friday night fast week and in few hours had under control fire raging $40 feet under ground and at the base of the water supply for this city
 The names of the men making up the Helmet team which preserved the well and water supply plant, managed and directed by Thomas Cowpert- waite, Safety First man for the c. & A. Mining company, are as follows: David H. Orr, Charles Flight, P. A. Yerian, Frank Thompson, James Sig don and Fred Baugh, captain of the team
 The origin of the fire has been traced and is presumed to be due to & short" in the electric circuit furn- ishing power for the operation of the pumps and evidently started on the station at the 640-foot level some time after the night shift had left there When fire was discovered by the op- posite shift the fire had gained such headway that it was not possible for the pump men" to reach it owing to the intense heat, gas and smoke com ing up the shaft. The company office at Ajo was notified at one, which in turn called in MT. Cowpertwaite, he being in the city at that time, who upon investigation with other com pany officials and after consultation called for the Helmet Crew" from Bisbee. The crew left Bisbee by au- tomobile, driving to Benson; there caught the morning train and arrived at the well, located seven miles from Ajo on the T. c. & G. B. railway at 10 o'clock the same night. e
 Upon arrivel the crew donned their helmets and went down the shaft for the purpose of learning the extent of the fire. The heat was intense and

MARKETS STILL fNVFLOPED
 BY UNCERTAINTY
Consumers Are Adhering to Hand-to-Mouth Policy
 in Placing Orders

Another week has passed without bringing any decided change in the copper situation. There were no de- velopments that would lead the best posted authorities to look for change in the near future. As result the uncertainty over future steps, which has existed in the best informed quar- ters for some time, continues.
 Consumers of the metal are still ad- herring to their policy of bdying on a hand-to-mouth basis, and no one ap- pears willing to contract for their fu- ture requirements even at the prices that prevail at present. This is prob ably due to the fact that the users have not yet been convinced that quo tations have touched the lowest.
 As matter of fact there have been discussions among some consumers that lower prices must come, but in this connection the leading trade au- thorities point out that to shade quo tations still further would be suicidal, mainly because he cost of production now is above the selling level for the metal.
 It is not generally known outside the trade, but it is nevertheless true, that there are few, if any, cOpper-pro- ducing companies that can deliver the refined metal at 151kc per pound and show a profit. This is so even for the companies which in normal years have reported costs close to the 10c level.
 The explanation for this is that with curtailment of operations the costs in- crease, and it is admitted in some circles that practically none of the leading companies can afford to put down the activities any further If any additional step toward curtail- ment is taken, it is the belief that it will be in the nature of an entire shutdown
 There are some observers who make the point that it would be a good plan to stop mining operations for several months to allow the situation to ad- just itself. The argument is made that such a move would mean that there would be no further increase in the stocks of the metal being carried by all those interested in the market, whether in mining or selling.
 It is added that sufficient working force could be kept at the mines to continue only development and ex- ploration work, so that the ore re- serves of the properties could be en- larged and be made available when there is again normal condition in the market. While this would mean expenditures without any return for the work done at the moment, it is ar gued that the amounts to be spent would be smaller than if the compan- ies continue to take the copper out fthe ground, with no prospects of selling it just at present.
 Whether the leading companies will be forced to adopt such a plan is prob lematical at the moment. It is known that those who direct copper affairs in this country are not anxious to take such step, mainly because they wish to keep labor employed as much as possible, and complete shutdown might bring hardships in many of the

NEW VENTILATORS TO BE INSTALLED
 FOR P. ). SHAFTS
Electric Hoist Also Being Put in; Increased Work lon
 Sacramento Hill

In the weekly review of progress in the local mines Superintendent Arthur Notman of the Phelps Dodge. corpo- ration says that new electric hoist is being installed in. the C. & C. shaft, which will make sinking operations more, economical
 Due to increased Operations in the reduction of Sacramento Hill addi- tional machinery has been added to the machine shop equipment, includ- ing new boring machine which was installed at a large expense and a new steam hammer
 For the purpose of making better ventilation in the various shafts the company is now drawing up plans and specifications for added underground ventilation equipment which will en- tail an expense to the company of ap- proximately 30,O00 and will add $750 each month to the company's operat- ing expenses.
 The plan to replace two of the larger fans by the installation of still larger capacity ventilating fans and the plans call for additional improve ments of the smaller fans in new To- cations It is in line with the com pany's desire to better working con ditions underground. and when the new Improvements that the company contemplates from time to time will have been accomplished the working conditions of the Warren District mines will be model in every respect.
 Through arrangements with MT. Notman, the Review has been granted the privilege of inspecting the various surface and underground workings and beginning next Sunday the Review will feature each week one of the To- cal shafts and will tell of the work that is being accomplished working conditions and a general view of the situation.

c. E. Goetz, the enterprising Ben son merchant and promoter of the Benson smelter, which he has had un- der way for the past year, states that the construction work is progressing rapidly and most of the outside con struction work and installation of ma chinery has been completed, and, the smoke stack erected. The superinten- dents residence has also been com pleted and all that is causing delay at present is the receipt of electrical equipment which will take some time yet. He states that the company has already pledged enough ore to run a 10O0-ton plant for two years, while their plant is only a 250-ton plant, so the success of the operation of the plant is assured. It is expected the plant will be blown in within the next two months at least

BULLION DEALERS NOT
 ONLY ONES TO PROFIT
 BY FREE SILVER PRICE
Bisbee Mine Men Say Those Without Reduction Plants
 Also to Be Benefited

The establishment of a free market for silver, by the removal of the gov ernment's arbitrary price of $1011 per ounce, as announced in Tuesdays Review, started considerable discus sion among mining men of the city, as to the white metal to be used as a basis of settlement by the smelters.
 It was argued that while the world was short on silver if the price ad- vanced, the advance would benefit the bullion ,dealers.f or those properties having facilities for reducing the min- eral to bars, but that it would not benefit the mineral producer without these facilities It was declared that the smelters would quote London rates on the mineral, and that the British government showed no sign. of fol lowing the United States in removing restriction on the demand and supply market
 Among the smelter men this was generally denied. Without defining any fixed policy on the subject, smell ter men pointed out that the price under the old conditions as reinstated, would follow the bulk of trade. The The British government could not possibly hold down the pmce current elsewhere. it was said, and if there was an advance it would come to the miner as well as the bullion dealer. There was no indications that the smelters would attempt to enforce British quotations in the face of a large shortage of silver.
 The possibility of silver going to $150 per ounce was not conceded by shelter men, who did notA believe silver would go above its parity with gold.
 Speculation along the line of produc- tion developed the theory that the stimulation of larger market in ex- port rade would result in an over production which might possibly be followed by decrease in the quota tions. For, it was argued, every little silver prospect would be worked if the price advanced over the $1 per ounce value. But this was not the general view since it was believed that the production must increase rapidly to affect the demand which is enormous as the result of the war.

PIMA COUNTY MINE MEN REJOICED OVER
 SILVER BAN LIFTING

Restriction on the export of silver and standardization of the price at $101R per fine ounce, were removed last week by the federal reserve board, thus in effect establishing a free market for silver in the United States and throughout the world. Wartime restrictions were imposed last August 15
 Mining Men Pleased t
 The receipt of the news of the open market for silver was greeted by Tue sons mining men with joy, say reports from that city, and predictions were made tha. silver would go to $1.50 and that it would again be possible for the production of copper-silver and lead silver compensating for the loss of the market in the other metals.
 Comparatively recent reports from the San Francisco mint were to the effect that the world was short nine billion ounces of silver. Later came reports that China was bidding $1.20 for the white metal and not getting sufficient. Then carloads of silver passed through Tucson, bound for the Orient All these facts had been irritating to the Pima county miners who, unable to work copper and lead properties because of the prices of the red metal, believed they could operate if silver were allowed to enter free market.
 It is expected that within ten days there will be a general resumption at Silver Bell and Twin Buttes and the dpening up of numerous silver pro ducers throughout the state. particu- larly silver.lead properties now clos ed because of the restricted price of silver and the impossible market for lead.
 The reopening of these properties will mean a resumption of the dis charge of payrolls into Tucson and . re-establishment of business activity considerably restricted since the first of the year.

MAGNITUDE OF NEW CORNEuA COPPER' MINE IS REVELATION TO ALL VISITORS|
Could Make OOO 900 Pounds Monthly If It Were Needed; Experimental Oil Flotation Plant Ready in June;
 Gold Silver in Sulphides May Build Smeer

as a conservative claim. Supposing only 30 cents worth of gold per ton of ore is saved from the ton of ore. This would give a total net saving of about $12,O0O, 900, which will go into the company's treasury in the benef- cation of this great ore mass, this be- ing figured on the 40,000,000 of New Cornelia as now developed. In addi- ton there will be an important prec- ious metal value from ores from other portions of the company's property.
 New Cofnelia Also Has Silver
 In addition to the gold New Cor nelia sulphides will also carry about 20 cents worth of silver, each ton, which will be an item of importance in the final results. In stating that the gold values will about pay the cost of mining, this refers only to those that will be taken from the open pit, and not those that will be produced in the regular underground work such as will have to be resorted to with depth, and in portions of Ajo ConsOli- dated where regular underground sys- tems will be followed.
 Another Find of High-Grade Ore
 On the morning of April IS, while a representative of Iron Ore was on the ground, drift on the 150-foot lev el of the Ajo Consolidated end of the property ran into ore of very high grade and at present the entire face of the drift is filled with it. This shows what the possibilities of the mine are, and proves that there are values still to be found that are aside from those already proved in the work of exploring.
 New corneIia May Build Shelter
 It is within the range of possibili- ties that New Cornelia may build a smeIter at It's mines. It has thus far paid about $275,000 in freights be- tween the mines and Douglas for the handling of the direct smelting ores sent to the c. & A. shelter Of course the railway and shelter are of the company's interests, but when the high-grade area is developed there wifi be very much more material to be

FOUR COMPANIES
 PUBLISH FIGURES
 OF APRIL OUTPUT
All Show Decrease in Their Production of Copper,
 But Not Large One

In the case of Phelps-Dodge, their mines in the past four months output ted but 37,659,90 pounds of copper, compared with 61,893,255 pounds in the first four months of 1918 and 7S,- 243.96 pounds in the last four months of 1918. Production this year to date decreased more than one-half as com pared with the four months ended with December 31, last.
 Miami's production during the year to date did not hsow such large de- crease in the case of Anaconda and Phelps-Dodge. Old Dominion turned out more copper this year to date than in the last four months of 1918, but less than in the first four months of that year.
 The following compares the refined copper production of Anaconda, Phelps-Dodge, Miami and Old Do minion during the first four months of this year with the last four months of 1918 and the first four months of that year (figures in pounds):
 So far this month four copper com panies have published their output figures for ApFil-Anaconda Miami, Phelps-Dodge and Old Dominion. Each one shows a smaller production than in March although the decrease in no case is large.
 A comparison of the total produc- tion of these four companies fhr toe first four months of this year with corresponding period of last year and the last four months of 1918 shows a very considerable drop in production.
 In the first four months of this year Anaconda, for instance, turned out but 55,950000 pounds of copper, compared with 89,750,000 pounds during the first four months of 1918 and 103,5S4 900 pounds in the last four months of last year This one property turned out 47,634000 pounds less copper inr the four months just closed than during the last four months of last year, a decrease of 46 per cent.
