SHANNON COMPANY CLOSES DOWN
 THIS WEEK

As has been expected for the Copper Company will cease op- erations in this district next week
 The official announcement to this effect was made by General Manager Bennie to a Copper Era representative on Thursday. The mines at Metcalf will close down On Saturday, January 4th, and the smetler will probably close down on Wednesday or Thursday next
 The. announcement is made off cially that the Shannon company has been operated at a loss dur ing the past six months. This was due in part to increased freight rates of 25 per cent, in- creased wages and stagnant market. Like other operating companies the Shannon has on hand a large accumulation of cop per stocks for which as yet there ie no market. MT. eBnnie stated that the operations would be SUI pended temporarily, and that up- on the future copper situation, woul depend resumption in this
 district. MT. Bennie will con- tinue to make his home in Clifton for some time he said until a definite plan of action has been decided upon by the company.

EXCESS 0F LABOR AND COPPER
 PREDICTED

Bisbee, Ariz., Dec. 2S-The general copper and mining development sit. uation in Arizona at this time is g. peculiar one. To the difficulties con- tended with during the last few years of government price and wage fixing,- embargoes and various other control. ing policies there is now added the prospect of forced curtailment of op. erations because of the laws of sup ply and demand, temporarily shelved during the period of the war in so far as metal price was concerned. As to labor, no artificial devices were necessary. The shortage was real. At hand, however, is reversal of conditions; both metal and labor will soon be in excess of demand.
 Development Outlook.
 Such of the large mining companies as have adequate surplus accounts will probably turn larger forces upon development work in this emergency, but until general costs decline there is limit to the amount of develop ment that can be properly conduct ed. There is a great deal of ground that cannot be entered until the labor get back to normal, for the reason that the values that. may req sonably be expected are not suffi- cient to offset present high cost of reaching them.
 Big development work that has been under way the last year and more, partly by way of preparedness for government emergencies in the event of long continuance of the war and partly by way of preparing for after the war conditions, such as that of Sacramento hill and Denn-Arizona in this district, United Verde's steam shovel plans and Gadsden in the Verde district, New Cornelia's devel- opment of Ajo Con. ground in the Ajo district, and Shannon Copper company development in Yeager Can yon, all thoroughly defined and fi- nanced projects, will doubtless go 1hOoo WILL llItlS UT uO dDdlem0uI OI vigor. But in other new development it is only the strongly financed or ganizations with their work we'll un- der way and backed by determination to have mines ready for production against the time of the real copper uplift after the readjustment period, that can be expected to go ahead without interruption. There are a number of these. but they are much outnumbered, by those not in position to go ahead and many of which are now shut down.
 Shelter to Close.
 An important property in the list of those that will have to close down until there is a readjustment of gen. eral conditions is the Silver Bell mine operated by the American Smelling & Refining and the output of which | furnished the main incentive for op- eration of the Sasco shelter by A. s. & R. The shelter will let it's fires go out early in the new year. Sev- eral properties in the Silver Bell dis trict are closing.

MANY STATES HAVE
Boise Dealer Makes Some Com
paritive Observations-Big
Work for the Federal Gov
eminent.

I'VE who live here in Idaho and use
the good highways do not realize as
keenly as those of the east what poor
roads mean. In this state "a poor road
is becoming the exception and not the
rule, but in other parts of the nation
good roads are few and far between.
Even in Idaho there are still many
places which are impossible after a
rain, especially in the less thickly pop
ulated districts.
with all the hundreds of thousands
OF miles of poor roads of the country
staring them in the face. the states,
municipalities and the nation are plan
ming to spend hundreds of millions of
dollars on road improvements this
year says Russell Ash of the Over
land company, distributors of the
Overland and the WHY'S Knight.
The movement has broadened into
campaign to make national highways
from Atlantic to Pacific and from the
Canadian border to Mexico
I'm broad sense any provision for
national highways means n linking,
the pressing need for a study of the
development of traffic, where it orig
mates and how it increases as in prac-
tice we will inevitably find that GER
tain of these through links must be
more heavily constructed than others,
since they will prove to be the most
economic routes of travel and hence
the trunk lines from which feeders
will radiate in all directions
THE states are limited in this link
ing up process hence the development
OF a national system naturally falls
upon the federal government with it's
unlimited funds and its ability to anal
we these problems from Il national
standpoint, creating the trunk lines
where they are most needed.
To-day there is no department in
the United States that has the author
ity to connect up these highways or
to improve any one system, nor is
there q body constituted to analyze the
fundamental principles governing the
flow of traffic, and of all our new
problems none is more vital than this
one of an understood and directed
transportation.
Yet 1t cannot truthfully be said
that the principle underlying this ma l.
tional system of highways is new
one. European countries have rccog-
nized the need of national highways
for long time and each of them has
truck lines spreading over it today,
with a consequent lower cost of high
way transportation per ton mile than
we have here

AUTO FACTORY WITH A FORTUNE

Quality in an automobile is made

effort to obtain the very best in ma =
terial and the very best in mAnufac-
turc. says RI. A. Biggs. general sales
manager of the Studehaker corpora
ton. mo modern business can sue
coed which does not provide means
for improving the quality of it's prod
uct
"Studebaker has for 81 years tested
and examined natures raw material TO
find the best for the enormous We
hicle industry it has built up. And
with the same sense of responsibility
TO the public, it has sought out the
most skilful and efficient men for
carrying on it's great business. The
Incompatible result appears in the
new Studeballer cars that bear the en-
during guarantee of it's name
''Studebaker obtains surety of manu-
ia cture partly from exact engineering
calculations, partly by scicntifi> tests
in wonderful chemical and physical
laboratories, and partly by exhaustive
road tests.
"A large fortune has been invested in
our laboratories and equipment The
research and chemical laboratories
alone employ a large force of skilled
men, each man holding his college or
university degree. Few colleges pos
sess larger or more complete labora-
tory facilities. Many OF the alloy steels
and heat-treating processes that are
now standard in the automobile in
dustry were developed and perfected
in Studebaker laboratories.
