Copper Metal Outlook.

The copper metal market continues
in the doldrums, but some very optim-
istic utterances on the future are
heard from various sources, says
Skilling's Mining Review.
For example, Martin ]. insult, pres
ident of the National Electric Light
Association, in an address recently
declared that more than five billion
dollars will be spent during the next
five years in the development of the
electric light and power industry.
This is at the rate of nearly two and
three-fourths million dollars per day
The gigantic super-power plan,
which will extend from Boston to
Washington, and which is now being
mapped out by the u S. Geological
Survey, provides for a distribution

IL, 000-miles of railroad and provide
lights for towns and cities and power
to operate street railways, factories
and mines. It is estimated that the
plan when completed will result in
the saving of 25,000,0 900 tons of coal
year. All such electrical develop
ment involves large use of copper.
Mr.. Daniel Guggenheim, in his re-
port to the stockholders of the Chile
Copper Company, calls attention to
the proposed developments in the
electrical industry, and refers partic-
ularly to the fact that the world is
turning away from coal to hydro-elec-
trio power. He also says: "The
whole world at the present time is
under-constructed and under-equip-
ped with all materials and products
requiring the use of copper. Though
it is human to err in such predictions,
I do not believe the world consump-
ton of copper in large quantities can
be delayed much longer"

Getting the dough"

Foreign societies on the ranges will
be asked to undertake campaign OF
education which will result in their
members being placed on their guard
against series of swindles that haye
robbed the foreign population on; the
ranges of thousands of dollars.
The old ''tin box game is again
being revived on the Mesaba range
among the Austrians and Serbians
and the result has been that country
men with earnings of years have lost
their stakes because some sharper"
who speaks the native tongue has
been clever enough to make big
haul on a quick rich scheme that
usually is built on air. -
For several years past one foreign
element insisted on banking savings
in old trunks in shacks and boarding
houses. Countrymen of the miners
disguised as bandits made several
big hauls and it required considerable
persuasion on the part of range offic-
ials to convince the miners that bank
ing at home was dangerous to say the
least.
Failing to obtain easy money that
way, swindle games are again in OPP
Grafton. Gilbert, Hibbing and Vir-
ginia Slavonians have been the vic
tins.

HEAL III BULLETIN
CITY OF ELY
by OWEN w. PARKER. NJ. D..
Health Commissioner

Following is an article from the
United States Bureau of Education.
entitled, "What is Health, which
illustrates well the broad field of
health work
We sometimes assume that free
dom from disease or physical defects
means health, but this is only one
part of the story. There are thou
sands and thousands of school chill
dren and adults that are not really
i'll and have no serious physical de-
fects but have only energy enough
to drag themselves through life-to
exist physically. They do not have
reserve force to meet the emergen-
cies of life or accomplish the things
that are most worth while They are
destined to become i'll from time to
time, and in most cases to be seri-
Gus burden to society. One Ameri-
can man of letters says that the i'm
portant thing is not what you can
get out of the world but what you
can give to the world. Health ed
ucation should seek to prevent dis
ease and physical defects and to pro-
mote right habits of living, which
play such an important part in build
ing up robust health with its reserve
force of energy. This is one of the
ways of insuring to each individual
his maximum contribution to the
world"

Why ELY IS
BEST RANGE TOWN
ONE OF THE REASONS VIII
THIS CITY HUMPS ALONC i
EVENLY. 81

Fully six months after other range
communities had felt the curtailmeIit
of activities in the iron l.industry,
Ely felt the first effects when the
Oliver cut wages 80 per cent and
went on half time basis.
This week the Vermillion Mining
Company curtailed production at
their Zenith Mine, laying off 35 to 40
men, which reduces their normal
force from ITS to about lao men.
The men laid off were single men and
those remaining at work are practics
ally all married men, it being the aim
of this company to offer employment
to the family men who ara perman
emily situated in Ely and who have
been longest in their employ. The
Zenith has beens working day shift,
full time, and viii continue to do so
for the present. 5
The .eurtailment is made necessary
due to the large amount of ore in
stock at the mine,, and to- the con-
stinued depression in the iron and
,steel business. The Zenith is one Of
the few properties of the 25 or 80
operated by sPickands, Mather and
Company which has remained active
this year. and its activity has helped
make Ely more pFesperous than the
otherscities Of the. ether ranges.
j The Yermillion Mining Company,
in addition to its mining operations,
has maintained s@large force on con-
struction. work. It il at present in
stalling condenser system which
work will be completed this month.
About 20 men have been employed
all summer bringing in the city water
line to the property, . distance of
three feurths of mile. This work
has been done under difficulties due
to the ledge encountered and to the
heavy rains which made sxcayating
difficult in the lower, elevations.
The job will be pushed to- completion.
In order to- give employmentsto as
many men as possible. during the
present dull period, the company is
planning to start at once with the
sinking of its shafts and, the develop
ment of it's 18th leveis The Zenith
18th level is the bottom level at pres
emit, while. it's hosting shaft is down
1Go feet deeper. III viii be neces-
sary to go down another lift with
the shaft and then do considerable
rock work 20 open up the 18TH This
work viii be started just as seon as
a shaft sinking crew is gathered to-
gether and the necessary equipment
arrives. The inauguration of this
development work at this time means
tseady employment for q number of
men and should be welcome news
to the people of Ely. =

Up in the Crooked Lake and Lac
La Croix country this week there is
q party of prominent men under the
guidance of Foret Ranger Oscar
Heikkila and Assessor Fred B. James
representing the Ely Commercial
Club, which promises to have bear
ing on the development of the only
exclusive canoe country in America.
Following the recommendations of
Arthur H. Carhart, recreational en-
gineer of the U. S. Forest Service,
the party was organized with view
to furthering the establishment and
perfecting of systematized program
of development of the canoeing and
camping possibilities of the Superior
National Forest. Owing to the linn
tied accommodations that could be
furnished the party had to be kept
down in numbers and although hun
dred or more in the Twin Cities and
Duluth had signified their intention
and made applications to make the
trip, the number had to be limited
to fourteen. st. Paul and Mime
apolis selected their men with view
to furnishing the most influence in
the advertising and backing for the
canoe route program, as did also
Duluth. The party arrived in the
city Sunday Afternoon and were met
at the station by members of the Ely
Commercial Club with cars and after
q brief visit to the Community Gen.
ter where details of the trip were
discussed, were taken to BURNSIDE
Lodge and other places of interest.

conveyed to White Iron Beach where
a motion picture of the Beach and
its activities was filmed.

served the visitors and few local
people at the Beach Inn. Music was
furnished by the Orchestra and Har-
old Chinn gave several fine vocal
selections. No talks were made and
