not be put through "for unexplained
reasons"
A Norwegian legation spokesman
here declared Norwegian troops in
southern and central Norway ARE
determined never to retreat" regard
less of the Allie Withdrawal.
The Norwegians were said to be
entrenched south of Roros, between
Tynset and Tolga, and holding back
German patrols attempting to ad-
vance northward.
"The morale of our troops is high"
said the spokesman.
Sweden heard the news of the AL
lied withdrawal with natural sympa-
thy for the neighboring Nordic ma
ton but with the feeling that the
threat of the war spreading to this
country has eased somewhat.
The confusing military situation of
the past few days in Norway is clari-
fled now.
German withdrawal from Roros,
some 70 miles southeast of Trond'
helm, and from Tynset, 80 miles fur
Their south, were regarded as mere
tactical maneuvers.
The Germans, with the British
pulling out of the Gudbrand valley,
further to the west, simply aban'
doned their effort to get through
the more difficult easterly Glomma
river valley road.
In short, the Germans finding
success on the left flank of the cone
shaped battle area south Of Trond-
helm, temporarily abandoned their
efforts to drive through with the
right flank operation.

The buffet supper vas invented
by Ude, celebrated chef of the time
of Louis XVI of France. Women
of the period often would forego
refreshments rather than ruin GRIN
olined, starched and frilled dresses

the idea of the "stand-up'' supper.

NEIHART MINES
PROVIDE WORK
FOR 800 men

Conditions in Neihart today are
the best they have been for the
past 10 years. declares Tony Faller
mayor of the mining city. Mining
operations, encouraged by good sill
yer prices, are going forward on
a scale which has not been seen
for a number of years. and as a
consequence, Neihart is enjoying
prosperity.
Many new buildings have been
erected in the town in recent
months, and. with some 800 men
employed in mines in the vicinity.
there is a shortage of houses and
other buildings, Faller said.
Four mills are now in operation
at Neihart, he said, and others are
expected to begin operation soon.
Those now being operated include
mills for the Florence, Neihart Con-
solidated (Hartley), Big Seven
(Silver Queen) and the Star prop
critics.
A mill is built for the Benton
group and Ripple workings, but it
has not yet been placed in opera
ton, as development work is still
in progress at those properties.
The 50-ton mill of the Klies Min
ing Co is now being built and
should be in operation in about
80 days, Faller stated. This will
serve the Broadwater property
which has been leased by this group
of operators.
The Gait mine is expected to re-
sumo operations in the near future,
and it is reported that the Queen
of the Hills properties are also be-
ing prepared for operation under
lease sometime soon.

FRENCH BUY
HUGE COPPER
TONNAGE

NEW YORK-The French gov
eminent has placed a new order
for $4,000 long tons of copper
with the same group OF producers
that have been supplying the re-
publics wartime copper needs, 1t
was disclosed in metal circles.
The bulk of the tonnage, priced
at IL y cents a pound, at ship-side
will come from foreign properties
of Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany, Kennecott Copper corpora
ton, and Cerro De Pasco Copper
company 1t was also understood
International Nickel company, Ca
madam producer, would participate
in filling the order.
This order brought to 100000
tons the total amount of red metal
purchased by the French in the
past 80 days.
At the same time increasingly
heavy Russian purchases of Ameri-
can copper were disclosed by an
analysis of figures compiled by the
United States Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce.
During January, Russia bought
26 6O3 tons of copper, said by the
American Bureau of Metal Statis-
tics to be a record, of recent years
at least
The purchases comprised almost
half the 57604 tons exported from
the United States to all countries
in January.
Rated second for the month as
foreign purchaser was Japan, which
bought 1864 tons.
Russia's present rate of large scale
purchases began in December. when
the Soviet Union bought 1867 tons
here, bringing the 1889 copper inn
ports from the United States to 22.-
74S tons-an average of only little
more than 500 tons a month in the
first IL months of the year.
Copper trade authorities said the
Russian buyers had not disclosed
the use to which the copper was to
be put. but the metal is recognized
as an important war munitions ma
terial.
