WAGES MUST FOLLOW METAs

With copper selling below 15 cents, lead at close to six and a half cents and zinc at a little under seven cents, it must be apparent, even to the miner, that production costs must come down or employment largely cease. It is a matter of inexor able economies, dictated by the very human fact that producers will not function at @ loss.
 After a world wide orgy of high wages, high costs, high railroad rates, high money and high .extravagance, the rapidly deHating balloon is descending to earth. All things considered, metals are selling st figures pro portionately far below those prevailing in pre- war days and readjustment of a drastic nature is unavoidable. Necessarily, wages will be the last Item of costs to come down, but come down they must, and there seems every reason to believe that the process will be in full swing during the coming win ter. It is to be hoped that when the time comes, labor in the mining districts of the Northwest will do it's own thinking and refuse to be led way into economic un soundness by loud mouthed agi- tators. The undivided efforts of all classes of society will be needed to keep the boat on an even keel, and labor's part will in @ great measure be the de- termining factor. Like youth, economics must be served, and the day Of service is at hand Northwest Mining Truth.

WORLDS GREATEST PRODUCER

The United States is the most prod uctive country on earth. It leads all the rest of the rest of the globe in yields of the mine, the soil, and the factory. This fact was tersely and cogently set forth by Judge Elbet H. Gary, chairman of the Board of the United States Steel Corpora ton, in an address which he made before the American Iron and Steel Institute. Judge Gary said: Notwithstanding tke U. s. has only per cent of the worlds population, and but 2 per cent of the worlds land, we produce:
 Twenty per cent of the worlds supply of gold.
 Twenty five per cent of the worlds supply of wheat.
 Forty per cent of the worlds supply of lead.
 Forty per cent of the worlds supply of silver.
 Fifty per cent of the worlds supply of zinc.
 Fifty two per cent of the worlds supply of coal.
 Sixty per cent Of the worlds supply of aluminium.
 Sixty per cent of the worlds supply of copper. Sixty per cent of the worlds cotton.
 Sixty six per cent of the SUD- ply of oil.
 Seventy five per cent of the worlds supply of corn.
 Eighty five per cent of the worlds supply of automobiles.
 In the face of marvellous showing like this, who can for a moment doubt the future pros- perity of this country?

MT GUNNER STILL HAS FAITH.

Douglas, Dec.-Coming from Piiares de Teres, Sonora, where he is in charge of the Cinco de Mayo mine, Nit Quinner, the pioneer Sonora mining man, ar rived in Douglas yesterday via Fronteras, where he stopped over for one day to visit with old comrades. MT. Quinner brought with him several ore samples from the Cinco de Mayo which are wonderfully rich. The ore is of chloride variety and comes from a tunnel now being worked at depth of nine hundred feet from the surface.
 Quinner has never lost faith in the rich mineral available in many parts of the state of So. nora and predicts that there will be great activity in mineral de- velopment in that country in the near future. He said there was no reason now why capital should longer hesitate about Ro- ing to Sonora, as everything is peaceful, with a disposition to give every reasonable opportun- ity to those who are willing to undertake the development of the country.

SAYS DANGER OF PANIC PASSED

In speaking of the near panic with which the country has been threatened, c. L.. Northcraft, the ranchman, sees the dawn Of Q brighter day approaching He is of the opinion that the worst has been passed and that def
 nite improvement will be notice able within the next sixty days. All danger of a panic, or any thing like it, has passed and the financial tmosphere is clearing up and business will soon be- come normal throughout the United States. Saner business methods are beginning to loom up on the commercial horizon and wildcatism is disappearing. In other words the people have regained their equilibrium which will rapidly restore confidence and start the wheels of com merce to rolling at a steady gait. It is a good thing that the Pon- zies and other get rich quick schemers have been sent to the rubbish pile as it will give hon est business a better oppOrtuni- ty.--Santa Cruz Patagonian.

Many inquiries have come to the Arizona office of the Near East Relief for information re garding the orphans that are allotted to Arizona. There are some who would like to Le as signed a definite orphan to care for, to know his or her name, address, etc.
 It has been found by the off cials of the Near East that this is not practical, however; the children are cons tantly changing as homes are found for them and fa miles or remnants of families are re united.
 There is a special territory al lotted to Arizona, however, the district of Mardin, and here the Near East, by means of Ari zona'S contributions, maintains hospitals and orphanages and cares for several thousand child ren.
 The problem of the refugee as veil as the orphan is assuming serious proportions at this time, due to the deportations and mas sacres by the Turks. In state ment from Brousa, Bishop Sum- pat explains the situation in some detail.
 Refugees have brought us again to sheer tragedy; fifteen hundred of them have arrived from beyond the Greek lines. many of them without bedding, and with only the clothes they are wearing. One family had no underclothes because it was wash day when the exile began. One girl, when asked what she had brought, answered only my soul
 "The ration of bread from the Greek army is about to cease, leaving most critical problem and no money on band to solve it. We have given $50 blankets to persons found sleeping on boards, and have distributed POO arshins of cotton, 800 of flannel, ., and 500 garments. We are giv- ing a can Of American evaPorat ed milk weekly for each Of the 80 odd refugee babies, one of whom was born on the road to Brousa. One little girl arrived without her parents, who had been turned back, and was for tunate in finding The Ameri cans for no one else claimed her.
 "The Near East needs money to meet this refugee problem. At present every available fund is assigned for special work, and we are handicapped for lack of funds. However, our workers are doing everything in their power to help"

COPPER EXPORT TAX LIFTED.

Bis lee, Dec.-Until the price of cOpper goes over 13 cents On the New York stock market, eX port dnty fees have been re stricted by the Mexican govern ment on shipments of ore and copper from Mexico into the United States.
 Announcement to this effect was made by Antonio C.. Rivera, chief of the Mexican customs service at Agua Prieta, who is in receipt of telegram from the department of hacienda at Mexico City, requesting imG diate instigation and compliance with the order.
 December l was designated as the date in the telegram for the regulation to become effective. Subsequently, thousands of dol lars in duty charges collected by the Mexican customs officials will be remitted to the copper comralies Of Mexico, according to Rivera.
 Mexican officials have taken this action in an effort to cope with the general depression in the copper market and to ale viate dire industrial and labor conditions confronting the cop per companies of Mexico, officials of which have signifed that the companies would close down, owing to the lack Of market for the metal.
 
 As a result of the export or der from Mexico City, officials st various copper companies have already indicated that the companies will continue in fUll operation as heretofore, accord ing to Mr, Rivera.
 In addition to coping the cop per coD panies of Mexico in ope ration many men who otherwise would have been jobless, will re- tain their positions. The order will also alleviate similar con ditions existing in border smett- CTS, according to information.

ARIZONA MINING IMAM ROBBED.

Los Angeles, Dec.-Burglars searching for liquor broke into the residence of Capt. James Hoatsor, capitalist and widely known Arizona copper man, and stole a collection of oriental rugs valued at nearly $1OO, ,OOO, ac- cording to report of city detec- tive Bernard J. McCann. Capt. Hoatson's residence is one of the show places of Hollywood.
