By Thomas N. McCauiey esident Central Copper Company

The slump in price of copper is largely due to the patriotic spirit of the leading men in the copper indus try during the war. The. domestic demand was neglected to supply the requirements of the allies TOT war purposes. In some cases the domestic consumers were induced to substitute other metals for copper and subse- quent to the signing of the armistice 1t was ascertained that the domestic market had been successfully invaded by other metals, and also that many of the largest copper producers had been driven so hard for large produc- Jion, for war purposes, that the phys ical condition of the properties had been weakened.
 Considerable time and many nil- lions of dollars are required to re- construct and properly prepare both the old and new ore bodies for eco- nomical extra ction. Nearly all the large copper producers have been closed down for some time. as the copper surplus was more than one billion pounds soon after the signing of the armistice. At the present time, emitting about 300, 900, 900 pounds held by the Copper Export associa- lion for export only. and about 300,- 000 900 pounds in transit and in pro- cess of being refined and made ready for market, the probable real surplus of copper today~ available for home consumption is only about 200, ,000,000 pounds more than the normal supply.
 During the present period of non production by the large producers the physical condition of the properties and their eauiprAent are being re- newed and mines are being put in order for future economical produc- ton.
 The selling price of copper since 1860 has averaged 19 cents per pound and the cost of production per pound during that period about 1S cents, The annual production of the metal has shown an increase of over 8 per cent per annum since the Civil war. and the increasing consumption of copper has kept pace with the in creased production.
 Electric, brass and automobile in dustries have been large consumers of copper. The telephone companies use large amounts of copper wire. The conductivity of copper in carry ing the sound of the human voice is greater than any other metal that can be used for commercial purposes.

Return of Prosperity in Copper Industry Regarded Sure in View
 Of Indications of Great Demand

per producing states, with Arizona leading any other three states com bined, as shown by the copper pro- duction in 1919.
 Mining engineers and copper oper- ators have been developing new methods of extracting the copper from ores on a more economical basis than formerly and substituting those methods for smelting at a greatly re- duced cost per pound of the metal.
 Copper cathodes are now being made at the properties by successful producers. The freight and smelting charges have increased the cost to producers. The manufacturing plants consuming large amounts of copper sn the manufacture of brass and oth- CT articles for commercial purposes have been required to pay compara- = lively high selling prices for the metal.
 Some of the large consumers of copper contemplate purchasing and operating their own properties. Large copper producers contemplate build ing their own manufacturing plants at tidewater, to produce cooking utensils, washtubs, chandeliers. hard ware. automobile supplies and many other articles in large demand.
 The Copper and Brass Research as sociation will be valuable factor in the future in providing new and ad- ditional markets and uses for copper
 The conditions precipitated by the world war are shifting the financial business and industrial scenes and causing many radical changes. and probably none more than in the cop per industry.
 The construction of railroad from the great copper fields of Arizona to tidewater, a distance of only about 100 miles, will materially reduce the cost per pound in transporting copper to the Eastern markets on the At lantic seaboard and reduce the selling price of the metal to consumers.
 When the reconstruction period il Europe has advanced far enough fol credits to be fully established in ths different countries, their local de mands for copper can be supplied an6 the domestic demand for the red metal must be greater than ever be- fore.
 It is just a question of time unti the railroads will electrify their sys- tems. This will require about 30,00t pounds of copper per mile.
 The consumption of copper and tht great demand for the metal must ar. rive with returning prosperity. I will tax the large producers to ths utmost to supply the demand.

Not in recent years. according to those who are most familiar with books and those who make them, has there been such a diversified and at the same time such porthy output of fiction as Is the case at this time. Almost every published has a novel that stands far out of the ordinary. until the question for the book buyer has become one of how many shall he take instead of which one shall he choose.

over it, so that the searcher for something new, something odd, some thing philosophical or didactic in novels, or something simply enter taining, has no difficulty in satisfying himself.
 There is one novel, however, that is proving undoubtedly the firest story of the year, and while it is not to he classed as late novel, 1t is of the makeup which keeps a book forever new. This is Rafael Sabatini's "Scaramouche,' which has taken rank in the highest place in the world of fiction. The story of a wandering actor during the French Reign of Terror whose adventures, Eumor, carelessness and shrewdness carry him safely through the red days of the Revolution, it is one of the finest yarns to be put together in re- cent years, and its acquisition means that something really worth having has been put on the book lovers shelves.
