the books of many of the sellers are
such as to keep them out of the mar

Curtailed production among the cop
per producers is generally given as
the reason for the Improvement in the
market. While the amount being cut
off is small in comparison with the
total, the market has been in such
close balance that it is sensitive to-
slight changes. All of the Jackling
properties, Utah, Nevada, Con-, Ray
and Chino have cut about ten per
cent; two of the mines of the Ana
conda have shut down; Inspiration has
reduced its working force from 1920
to $500 men; and several of the other
companies have made cuts.
Some of the cut is offset by the
coming into production of Andes Cop
per, and it is probable that the to-
tai net cut in production will not
exceed three Or four per cent, yet
this is entirely sufficient to cause
the price to increase and stay at the
higher level. While an increased price

1t would seem that the lead market

and with sales covering delivery dur

! TULSA, Okla, March IA .R.-With
| three new gushers completed within
| the last "a hours in the greater Sem
| mole oil area, attempts to stem over
production in the field failed today.
| The indicated production of the three
| new wells totalled about 16,500 barrels
| daily.
i Operators meeting here to perfect
| plan for cooperative curtailment of
| the fields output adjourned without
i reaching an agreement They had un-
| der consideration a recommendation of
| an advisory committee of three which
suggested a 20 per cent reduction. AS
a result of the disagreement, operators
| said that production will be limited
only by pipe line and storage facilities.
Thirty three operators attended the
meeting today, occasioned by the recent
recommendation of the advisory COM
mittee Twenty-seven favored Coop
eratiVe action in curtailment, it was
announced while one operator openly
opposed and five refused to vote on
the proposition.
Inasmuch as pipe line and storage
facilities have been inadequate for
several weeks, production of the field
has necessarily been held below it's
potential output.
A report of today's meeting will be
made to Chairman Fred Capshaw of
| the state corporation commission, who
is watching the field. If there is vast
/ age of oil, the state is empowered to
step in and shut down production. No
large waste has occurred as yet.
| Today's production from Seminole
and Ear1sboro is approximately 315,-
| 600 barrels. The extent to which this
| is curtailment over the possibilities
of the field was illustrated Saturday

The Carriers output mas been averag-
ing between $4,000 and $4,000 barrels
daily The equipping of many of the
,, wells to flow their maximum produc-
tion gave the Carter company $4,000
barrels for the last "a hours, and it is
estimated that this amount represent
ed but 80 per cent of it's properties.
This output is the largest ever OBJ

will look better, the sensitiveness of
the market will remain with US for
q long while yet, and any production
! increase that come before the market
is ready to absorb the added metal
will probably bring another slump.
Also the heavy buying of February
might make us have Gull buying
months during March and April as
the flow of prices attracted the buy
ers and they have probably placed
/ their orders well ahead and in excess
of immediate demands, taking ad-
vantage of the cheap copper. Hence,
too much optimism over the large
sales and price increase is not JUS
titled as there is a probability of re-
action.
Reports from London relative to
the larger buying of export copper
state that it is being bought for i'm
mediate consumption as the business
conditions are such that the manu-
facturers do not have the courage to
buy heavily in anticipation of needs
and that they have gotten out of their
old habit of speculating and buying
months in advance. Hence it is eX-
pected that the increased European
demand may continue and the heavy
buying of February will not be fol-
lowed by a lean March.
AS there was about a 10 per cent
decrease in foreign copper demand last
year, there is a deficiency but it bids
fair to be made up as the conditions
which caused the lessened shipments
abroad last year have largely been cor
rected. Great Britain took S,527 tons
of copper per month last year as
against 1925 tons per month during
1925 Germany took 1O,1O0 tons per
month in 1926 as against 1906 in
1925. France and Italy showed a slight
increase in 1926 takings over 1925.
Gordon Campbell, president of the
Calumet and Arizona recently stated
in an interview that copper product
ion ard consumption during 1927 will
vary little from the curves establish
ed during 1926, and red metal prices
will remain about the present figure"
On the other hand, DR.. l.. ID. Ricketts,
of Inspiration sees a better condition
when he states: "The consumption of
copper in the United States is good.
If Europe will take her share of theI
output, as she probably will, the cop
per market will show a distinct i'm
provement this fall"

River coal field contains millions of
 tons of a good grade of Lignite coal which when mined In reasonab- ty large quantities. can be produced at a cost of not to exceed two dol lars per ton at the mine. The Un- tied States Geological reports show that the minimum thickness of the kugruk coal seam Is over eighty feet. This seam will give . pro- duction of at least eighty thousand tons per acre of ground. The coal seam and enclosing rocks are per petually frozen. thus no timber Is required in mining. hence the low cost of production. Coal is a prime necessity for carrying on placer and lode mining operations as we'll as for domestic use. Cheap fuel, which could be furnished by the proposed highway project. would greatly stimulate mining and pros pecting on the Kougarok, Inma- chuk, Kugruk.
