As To Merits Of Copper
 And Brass Suggested
 Annual reports of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company and the New Cornelia Copper Company, for the year ending December 31. 1920, have been received here.
 The directors. report to the stock holders of the Calumet & Arizona re cites the difficulties under which op- erations were carried on during the year, and suggests campaign of ed ucation to increase the use of copper and brass products. The total amount of metal produced was given as fol lows: Copper 46.0S7, ,40S pounds; sil- yer 1,2l4,O49 ounces; gold 37,91l ounces. A total of $2,5700S4 was paid out in dividends.
 In the report of John c. Greenway, general manager to Charles Briggs. president, it is reported that the mines were operated at less than 60 per cent of normal throughout the year. With regard to the increased cost of production Colonel Greenway says: Owing to the highest wages. prices for supplies. (excepting fuel oil. freight rates and local taxes ever paid at the mines and smelters. the cost per pound of copper f. o..b. Doug. las has increased. The following ta- ble shows the percentage of increases since 1915 in the principal items:
 Increase
 Per Cent Averageg labor rate at mine and
 smelter ....... A g Average salary rate at mines
 smeiter 51 .5 Explosives, per box .-.......... S4 6 Timper, per thousand feet -. .120. 6 Fuel oil. per bbl., at mines ..... 3S. 6 Fuel oil, per bbl., at shelter ... 25. O Coke, per ton ............... 22. , Freight rates ............... 69 4 State and county taxes ....... .10S O
 The report of E. E. Whiteley, su- perintendent of mines, to John c. Greenway, states that "the company had an average of 946 employees dur ing the year, compared with an aver age of 1,017 during 1919. Two very promising layers of sulphide ore have been encountered in the Bengal claim, north of the Briggs shaft, between the 1,200 and 1,300 levels, and are now being developed by stoping. The Briggs mine will show a considerable decrease in ore reservesr
 Speaking of the Junction mine, the report states:
 On the 1,400 foot level in the cen tral portion of the Rathmoon claim, the ore body originally developed by No. 365 'stope has extended much fur ther nrth than was expected.
 On the north side of the shafe, No. 9 cross cut, 1,500 foot level opened up either a new ore body or an ex- tension of the Old North ore body in the south central portion of the Wad. dell claim.
 Probably the most favorable de velopment of the year was 50 feet of 5 per cent sulphide ore cut in No. 15 cross cut on the 1900 foot level, in the northeast corner of the Wad. dell claim. This, in all probability. is an extension to the 1900 foot level of the North ore body.
 ''No. B cross cut on the 1,600 foot level, at about the common line be- tween the Junction and Comet claims passed through 60 or 70 feet of leach ed or caved material, which Is an ex. cellent indication for the lower levels and is only about 800 feet northwest of the Campbell shaft
 "The ore estiamte at the Junction mine is considerably larger than last years estimate.
 During the year there was pump. ed from the Junction mine an aver. age of 2,792 gallons water per minute The average for October was 2,39s gallons per minute. or the minimum for the year. The average for Decem Der was 3.158 gallons per minute, or the maximum for the year."
 The report of H. A. Clark, superin tendent of the shelter, to John C. Greenway, recites that the smeltel was operated at about 47 per cent ca pacity during the year, and the acid plant at 70 per cent
