geological survey report. This die

sif and IN nrncASc nf rafininn

geological survey report. This did
not include working stocks in tran
sit and in process Of refining.
Estimating the latter around
130,000,OO0 pounds at the outside,
it would mean that total surplus
stocks of crude and refined copper
in this country at the beginning Of
September approxirnated e40,0o0,ooo
pounds.
"Sales in September of 100000
900 at the outside, it would mean
that total surplus stocks of crude
and refined copper in this country
at the beginning of September ap-
proximated e4o,ooo,ooo pounds.
"Sales in September of 100000
600 pounds and last month of 140,-
100000 pounds brought surplus
stocks down to around 700,000,000
pounds as Of November /. On the
other hand total production from
mines still in operation for the two
months was probably 80,0o0,O00
pounds, making total surplus stocks
around 7so,0O0,000 pounds at the
end of October. Deducting the
4O0,0OO,000 pounds earmarked ear
lier in the year for export by the
Copper Export association would
virtually leave approximately $780,
100000 pounds of copper on hand
November i.
Even assuming that monthly
sales through November and De-
cember only approximate half Of
those in October, or 140,000,00o for
the two months, and that output in
that period totals s0,o0o.Ooo pounds,
it looks as though surplus stocks
of crude and refined copper as of
December 81, 1921, will be in the
neighbortood of 32o,0oo,00o pounds.
"A survey of the situation leads
to the conclusion that copper is still
one Of the cheapest commodities.
The technical position of the metal
is becoming stronger. Most of the
big producing properties are shut
down. Exports, which usually take
more than 90 per cent of the
product of American mines, are in
creasing. Surplus stocks are al
ready down to what might be term
ed normal accumula alton of crude
and refined metal, including stocks
in the hands Of manufacturers.
Everything considered, it would
seem as if the big producing COM
panies would begin to consider the
resumption of operations along in
next March"

Mine Awarded Owner
Of Land in Oft-Tried
Suit by Sec'y Fall
Special to The Tribune.

Terry, Nov. 1e.-The controversy
over. the coal mine on the land of
Oliver Van, north Of here, between
Mr.. Van and e. j. Huffaker has been
finally decided in favor of the latter,
the secretary Of the interior sustain
ing the decision of the land offices.
The mine in question was filed on
by e. J.. Huffaker, sheep rancher
near Crowley, and was later contested
by Oliver Van, who contended that he
had made such improvement at the
time as to entitle him to a preference
right to file. The case was heard in
Terry, the Miles City land office de-
Gliding in favor of Huffaker, from
which decision Van appealed to the
general land office. Here again the
decision was favorable to Huffaker,
but another appeal was taken to the
secretary of the interior. The last
decision has sustained all those of the
lower land offices. and the filing of
Mr.. ~Huffaker On the coal in the land
will stand. s514
The coal mine is situated on land
bought by Mr.. Van from a man by the
name Of Whipple, and for number
of years the homesteaders of that
section had gotten their winters sup
ply of coal from it. Mr.. Van stopped
them getting coal. hence the filing by
Mr.. Huffaker, and the attempt to file
by Mr. Van.

lowance was made for their cut.
Comparisons with 1919 are publish
ed by permission of the bureau OF
the census, United States depart
ment Of commerce.
The tables show that the states
which increased their cut are all in
the Pacific coast group and the
Rocky mountains. Washington is
first, as usual. Oregon attaius sec
ond place for the first time, dis
placing Louisiana from position
held for IS years, while California
takes rank among the first five,
displacing another southern yellow
pine state.
In 1920 the Pacific and Rocky
mountain group of states, combined,
produced $50 per cent of the cut
The eight states of the southern
pine group produced "a per cent,
while all Of the rest of the United
States produced 3o.4 per cent.
The combined production Of
Douglas fir, and western yellow
pine, which in 1919 was less than so
per cent of the amount of southern
yellow pine cut, in 1920 became 80
per cent. This relative increase in
the western species arises in part
from the decrease in southern pine
production, which amounted to IS
per cent. The conditions reported
by southern operators, arising di-
rectly or indirectly from the world
war, were so adverse that the south
ern pine may be expected to re-
cover part Of the lost ground during
the next few years. But the indi-
cations of the statistics are that
the supremacy in lumber production
held by the southern pine states has
passed the zenith and is moving to
che west.

THE PRODUCTION OF
LUMBER.

NF the many bulletins issued by
~ the department of agriculture
at Washington some give interest
ing and valuable information to the
citizen. We are not accustomed to
view logs as crop, but they are a
product Of the soil. In fact were
it not for the fact that it takes
more than an ordinary life time to
plant and garner crop of trees
and human nature will not brook
such delay in gathering the fruit
of its labor we should say that a
tree crop is about the best paying
crop that can be taken from the
soil. 1t is interesting to learn that
Michigan, once the great producer
of lumber now ranks sixteenth
among the principal lumber pro-
ducing states, and below Idaho and
Virginia. The state of Montana
does not even get place with the
22 states mentioned in the statistics
but is included in the "all other"
figures of 2,o65,200 feet. Washing
ton takes the first place once held
by Michigan with 5,525,o00 feet,
while Michigan trails down near
the bottom Of the list with 74o,80o
feet. Minnesota comes still lower
with $4,000. The % principal
states in the order of their lumber
cut are Washington, Oregon, Louis
lana, Mississippi, California, Ar
kansas, Alabama, Texas, North Car
olina, Wisconsin, Virginia. Florida,
Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, Mich
igan, West Virginia, South Caro-
lima, Minnesota, Penns ylvania,
Maine, Kentucky. ....
The lumber cut of the United
States in 1920 was 33,798,800,O00
feet, which is ID per cent less than
in 1919, and II per cent less than
the peak of 1907.
The average price of lumber at
the mill increased to $38.42 per
thousand, which is a rise Of $50 per
cent since 1910. The aggregate
value of the cut is S1,2oo, 100000.
These are the highest annual valu-
ations ever recorded, but do not
indicate present conditions. They
merely reflect the extremely high
peak in the postwar lumber prices
which was passed in the first quar-
ter Of 1920.
These are the principal statistics
obtained by the forest service,
United States department of agri-
culture, in its 1920 canvass of Amer
lean sawmills. They are based up
on reports from 1923 active mills
out Of 23,243 estimated to have
been in operation. Several thou
sand mills cutting l9s than $4,000
feet were not tabulated, though al
