 The property is in excellent shape, the shaft being down to depth of about 525 feet, where ore has been encountered which is of a very en- couIaging value.

1e LEADING COPPER
 MINES SHUT DOWN

Boston, April 12-One after anr other the leading copper mines have announced suspension of operations. In all, 16 companies have ordered i'm mediate closing. These mines are re- sponsible for 75 per cent of the total smelter output of the country.
 That copper producers faced no other alternative is clearly apparent The refined salable surplus of copper in the hand of producers today amounts to nearly 750,OO0,O0O pounds. This includes the 400,000000 pounds which have been set aside for foreign shipment by the Copper Export As sociation.
 The copper surplus today is as large as at any time since the armis- tice in November, 1918, and the small amount that has been moving over seas during the past IS months has dwindled to small proportions. The price had broken to under 12 cents per pound, before producers would ad- init that suspension of production was imperative.
 Formerly Europe took between 40 and 45 per cent of our production; that was when our capacity output ranged between 1,200,000,O00 and l1,300,0 100000 hounds annually. Ca pacity during the war was jumped to above 2,500, 100000 pounds and Ger many having had her fill of war is now removed as our biggest export customer.
 With wages but 15 per cent lower tran the war scale and with mining supplies showing but slight decline and coal higher>than ever it sold dur ing the war, it was costing these mines on the average between 171a and IS cents per pound to make their copper and the market was stagnant at 12 cents.
 Shutting off of production was the only logical thing to do. Copper will not deteriorate: enough employees will be kept to act as caretakers of the mines.
