BETTER TIMES
PREDICTED FOR
METAL MINING
Return to Pre-War Activity
Expected Within Six
Months.
BURNS SEES PROGRESS

CHICAGO, April s.-The metal mining
Industry will "be on its feet within six
months.
This is the belief expressed in an inter
view today by John 7. Burns, secretary
Of the American Mining Congress, after
returning from a tour Of the leading
mining districts.
Paralysis OF the industry has cost
countless millions Of dollars" Burns said,
"but there is a general feeling Of opti-
mism and confidence as to the future in
the gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
fields"
EFFICIENCY OF
LABOR INCREASES.
The most encouraging Information,
Burns said he obtained, was Of a grad
ual increase in efficiency Of labor.
During the war labor was about 70
per cent efficient" he added. NOW it is
getting back to normal Some cuts fol-
miners were made in Utah and other
States.
Transportation costs have rendered
zinc, lead and copper mining improbable
by forcing skyward prices of materials
necessary to the operation of mines.
Many mine operators faced complete
DISCRIMINATION of forces, maintained for
many years. Some mines closed down
will be flooded and are practically a total

loss. Even the famous gold mines at
Cripple Creek, Colo, the greatest gold
region in the world, were down.
Mining will be resumed when the con-
structive program of general industry in
the United States starts"
Burns learned that American mining
and oil men in Mexico are pleased with
the situation there.
"They believe" he said, that Ameri-
can interests will receive adequate pro-
lection from the Obregon government. In
the opinion of those in touch with that
situation Mexico will sign satisfactory
treaties with United States within the
next three months.
There is no real issue between the
two governments so far as mining and oil
production is concerned"
From Eastern reports Burns learned
there was some improvement in the coal
industry.

Failure Of cities in the Central West

Americans, five Frenchmen, three Bel
gians, two Germans, two Hollanders,
two Italians, one Swiss and one Rus

vented the enemy and will throw open
the doors Of Manhattan Casino to-mor-
row night with a program of class that
should not damage the Boy Bandits
reputation as one of the shrewdest

hons too lightly on Jimmy's pet corns
on the occasion or the first opening

down because Of technicalities in his
seating arrangements, interfered a day
or 30 ago in one of his pet matches,
but the nimble Ieems set to work with
will and repaired the damage before
1t was roo late.
Mr.. Johnston is putting on q sort of
featherweight elimination for his re-
opening and had intended using Billy
De Foe and Lightweight Packey HON
mey in one of the bouts. A few days ago
the commission issued a ukase against
De Foes appearance. 1t was said that
De Foe had injured his hand in his re-
cent bout with Sammy Sieger at the

that he had secured Jimmy Kane to

The other bouts will go as originally

the other. The last mentioned is a

from Kansas City, trained at Stillman's

of the Y. NJ. II. A. where he greatly
