 An outstanding feature of the pres ent copper situation has been the fail ure to sell copper. and I am inclined to believe that those in charge of sell ing the product have been lacking in vision. For instance, copper has been driven out of the building trades, and yet when 12 well-lnown New York architects were questioned, each one of them said that copper is unequal ley for roofing-the cheapest materi- al for the builder who is constructing a building to last 20 years. This has been accomplished by the active com petition and advertising of the fabri- cators of roofing; they have driven copper out of the business.
 "The fabricators of copper. are mak ing more out of 1t than the producers We must get to work with the fabri- cators and extend the field, or else, like Standard Oil, we must both pro- duee and fabricate the product"
 Exhibits Copper Products
 At this point Col. Greenway exhib- ited number of copper products fabricated electrolytically. under ex- periments that have been in progress at the plant of the New CorneIia Cop per Company at Ajo. He showed a copper automobile. radiator that had been produced in this way and was recently tried out here.
 ''This radiator was made to fit q Dodge car said the speaker. 'I sIr If fx-v it was S52. Well, there is If pounds radIating capacity for a Dodge, and if built so that of it could be used successfully on that car it would weigh about 22 pounds It is clear that there is big profit some where" (The actual value of 22 pounds of copper is about $3.)
 Col. Greenway also exhibited a cop per radiator designed for ordinary heating purposes. He explained that copper has 27 times the conductivity of iron, and that an iron radiator would be therefore 2.7 times as large as the one exhibited, to throw off the same heat. All of those present were astonished to learn that roll Of sheet copper, that Col Greenway ex-
 
 and not rolled. The speaker explain ed that the radiator. and other arti- cles. were manufactured by causing the copper to be deposited on lead form, from solution, and that the whole thing is then placed in molten slead and the lead allowed to melt out, leaving the moulded copper uten sil. The process is comparatively simple and cheap.
 Tells of Development
 In his opening remarks Col Green way sad: The copper situation in Arizona is unprecedented. For the first time in the 9 years fife of the Calumet and Arizona, the smelter is closed, and the Copper Queen. for the first time in about 40 years. This has been brought about by the building up of surplus of one billion pounds of copper.
 The speaker then told of some of the great increases in operating costs over pre-war figures. such as labor, 10 per cent increases over pre-war, and taxes. PIP per cent increase, and other items of supply and operating costs. Relief could be affected in q measure. he declared, by collective purchasing on the part of the various companies, and by an exchange of ideas among purchasing agents.
 Col. Greenway declared that the ef- forts of midwest oil producers to get an import tax of Sl.50 a barrel on oil, is d matter of vital interest to the mining industry. Most of us. said he. have made good contracts for Mexican oil. and this is menace that must be cOmbatted lt would be q knockout blow.
 With regard to high taxes the speaker said that the only way to get relief that he could see is to make the people feel that they are spend ing their own money. They should realize, too, he said, that the copper producters are not only carrying the greatest burden as far as taxes are concerned, but are actually paying them where the others are not. The cattle men and the farmers are not paying their taxes.
 A talk on operations on Sacrament to Hill, over which the visitors made trip of inspection yesterday morn ing. was given by Gerald Sherman.
 Tells About "Ssc" Hill
 Sherman described the early inNcs- tigations of the ore bodies in Sacra- mento Hill He said that in 1910 the company first began to investigate the possibility of ore occurring in the hill. under two showings at the cast and west ends. A drift was run u1- der the west and where little good ore was found A drift from the 20O Holbrook cut a water course that car ried down ore of about 6 per cent. It was thought at first that it was only small body of ore. In February, 1913. the company began to drill and block the ore out as q large deposit. The cost of drilling was about S2 q foc' for 60,000 feet Of drilling.
 Sherman said that 20,015,000 pounds of ore. averaging 1.9S per cent copper, will be sent from the ',its to the mill or shelter. and 7,277.- 900 pounds of ore. averaging 70 per rent copper, from the pits to the lercbing dump! At the west pit there was 9.S72,000 yards to be removed, of ,1-hicb . 2E0 OO0 VardS have been
