B|C INTERESTS TEACH l. VALUE 0F WILD LIFE
 ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (P)-Large Corporations such as railway con- panies, light and power companies, lumber companies and others, wlich own or control extensive areas of land and water, have an opportunity to do much for the preservation of game and other wild life, says a Dul- letin of the American Game Protec- ton Association Some of them do take an active interest and contribute effectively to this work.
 An instance of this is recent bull letin entitled Wild Life Values" is- sued by the Atlantic Coast Line Rail- road Company. This bulletin calls attention to the fact that until re- gently the average landowner has not thought of the game (birds and anil mals) as having amp value, and has been content to let it get along as best it could" Now, however," the bulletin continues, landowners in the South, most of whom like to hunt and fish, are waking up to the fact that in order to have good hunting it is necessary to give game animals and birds some form of protection, and they are. realizing more and more that protection from fires is even more important than protection by bag limits and short seasons" "
 The bulletin concludes with this paragraph: Properly cared for, the game resources can be made to pay handsome returns. and the combina- tion of game and timber growing will solve the problem of many large owners who are not now deriving any profits from their lands" It may be added that the public in general willfind far more of pleasure, satis- faction and profit through giving proper protection to wild life than by permitting it's ruthless destruction and ultimate extinction

A SPLENDID GARDEN

The beautiful bouquets of flowers carried by a number of departing passengers last Monday on the s. s. Alaska, evinced much admiration, especially so from the many tourists, but few people in the city knew that, contrary to being plucked from a hot-house, they were the product from the beautiful garden of Mrs. J. o. Preston.
 The first bouquet was presented to her friend Mrs. Honeyman but the other passengers on the steamer, when they saw them, would not rest until they had a few. So Mrs. Pres ton, very graciously presented quite a number of the gorgeous blossoms. But flowers are not the only things pleasing to the eye in her garden for luscious strawberries, great big fragrant ones, and wonderful new potatoes are found in abundance.

Dem Mine Encounters
Unusually Hard Going
In Sinking TO Depth

The shaft of the Denn mine OF the
Shattuck Dem Mining corporation
has now reached a depth of 2,O1O feet,
and 4O-foot sump has been cut, ac-
cording to information given out yes
terday by company officials. A station
will be cut on the 2O00-foot level, and
extensive development and exploration
work will be undertaken from there.
Lying in Dividend fault, the Denn
shaft encountered very heavy ground
for about 400 feet, necessitating heavy
timbering and almost solid cribblng,
making it undoubtedly the heaviest
shaft job in the southwest. Now, how
ever, the bottom of the shaft is in solid
ground, it was stated yesterday. James
Malley, deputy state mine inspector,
in speaking of the DEM shaft recently,
said that to his knowledge there has
never been a shaft job in the Bisbee
district which met with such heavy
ground as in the Denn. Timbering in
the levels Immediately above the 1000
level has been going on for some time,
and the outlook for favorable develop
ment is good, according to officials.

3O-day month and hence showed a
lower total production, but Sllgntly
higher daily production. The real cur
tailment as it will show in July tlg-
ures is not large, but enough TO cause
concern among the buyers.
There is now a feeling of confidence
on the part of the copper producers,
and it is stated that some are refusing
to sell october deliveries at the pres
ent price of 13 cents
The world cooper production for
June showed a total of 134, ,243 tons, or
a, daily rate of 4,474 tons as against
4,488 tons in May. The decrease was
spread over the larger producing
countries about in proportion to their
production. The average daily pro-
duction for the first six months OF
1927 is 4,539 tons, as against 4,385 tons
in 1926 and 4,222 tons in 1925.
The prospective shortage of copper
and the probability of a further in
crease in price has rushed the buyers
into the market ami the domestic buy
ers are covering their third quarter
requirements while Europe and Ger
many in particular, is into the market
heavily. The buying is reluctant, how
ever, as the copper consumers are IN
clined. to stay out of the market even
though it is rising, as they have had
experiences in the past several years
that have taught them the profits OF
waiting.
It is reported that European con-
sumers of copper are doing business
on extremely small stocks of copper
and that the European consumers
must come heavily into the market to
take care of their increasing business
for fabricated products. Germany
took 86,339 tons of copper in the first
five months of 1927 and is also i'm
porting large quantities Of copper ore
and matte.
AS one watches the copper situation
from week to week it seems that slow
progress is being made in building up
an European business, but as the year
to year totals are looked at the prog
ress is more evident. The. progress, has
not been steady, as various things like
the British strike, the debt settlement,
political disturbances, fluctuating eX-
change, etc., have prevented any
arithmetical progression, but the
trend is well shown with all of the
European countries. ,-..-......, ..,... .-...
Great Britain, for instance, took
but 1886 tons of copper: in 1921 and
has now grown to 1O1,703i tons in 1926,
with 1924 as the peak year with 12o,-
365 tons. Belgium took 1881 tons in
1921, and in 1926 took 41.O7l tons, with
1925 the peak year with 46,155 tons.
France took. 40 $50 tons in 1921, with
1854 tons in 1926, with 1924 the peak
year. 98874 tons. Germany had q
high year in 1921 with 116,760 tons, its
peak in 1925, with 1888 tons, and
took 81,325 tons during 1926. Italy
took but 1855 tons in 1921 and in
1926 took 41,740 tons.
The curve of progress has not been
steadily upwards, due to, the rehabili-
