PRODUCERS SAY MINE INDUSTRY NOW AROUND CORNER"

PHOENIX, Dec. 1.-The mining industry of Arizona is around the corner and is looking forward to an era of normalcy. That is the con census of opinion among mining men of the state, representatives of the largest producers, gathered here for the annual meeting of the Arizona chapter, American Mining congress
 'The new year looks bright in deed if we are to base our opinion upon conditions in November" P. G. Beckett, general manager of the Phelps-Dodge company in Arizona. said last night. 'The supply of copper, like eevrything else. is regul- ated by the demand. The Novem- Der demand was unusually heavy. as compared with the months immedi- ately preceding. So we have req son to believe that the demand will continue brisk
 = Development of domestic mar ket for copper has been one of the most encouraging signs the indus try has witnessed in months" F. w. Maclennan, general manager of the Miami Copper company of>AIiami. added
 Surplus stocks have been reduc- ca to normal-another encouraging slgn-and we are looking forward to a normal run at the mines"
 Normalcy in the Arizona mines does not mean production at the sub-normal rate of war days. the mining men were quick to emphazise. It means production at just a nor nal output, in the days before the ! war.
 Many of the mines, however. have been developed to an extent of great CT efficiency during the past few years. Shafts and ledges have been extended and new veins opened-an or which will figure in present. 1 day normalcy. In other words. a normal run at many of the mines to- day would mean a production of. perhaps, 10 to 50 per cent more than production at these same mines be- | fore the war
 There is very little demand for i copper on the foreign market NIT. Beckett continued. For that reason. the copper producers have been obliged to regulate their production according to he domestic market l This market has developed tremen- 1 dously during the past feS' months he said.
 i "A majority of the bigger produc- CTS of the state now are operating at from 60 to 75 per cent of their 1915 production" MT. Maclennan de clared. He stressed the fact that
 November sales were the heaviest in months.
 .l Summarized, the situation at pres
 ent is good; the outlook is encOur-
 aging, the mining men declared. The opinion also was expressed by some
 that better prices for copper will be
 one of the natural sequences of the
 increased demand for the produced.
