consequently i£ thero is auv market
for copper ou this siilo ot t!io water
they are entitled to have a gener-1
ous share ot it, iu order to, if 'jos
ible, make up some of the great
loss, but it is generally thought
that a final shut down is inevitable.
New York, August 12—The best
indications that there is a complete
prostration of the copper metal
market at preBeut is that tho "Of
ficial Journal" has been discontin
ued entirely; therefore, copper
companies which received i>ay for
their products on the basis of these
quotations have no moans of ar
riving at settlements with their
selling agents.
Seattle, August 12-—Brokerage
firms say there is no immediate
prospect of improving conditions.
Hurope is lit buying at all, and
probably will not buy unless their
present stocks on ham) are de
pleted. which is not likely for some
time to come, owing to large sup
ply on hand, and the copper not
being used in the manufacturing
industry, due to war. The reason
that many of the larger copper
companies are curtailing to
half capacity and others closing
down entirely is that there is lit
tle, if any, profit in copper at
present quotations. The export*
of copper to Europe in 1012 wer
327,905 tons; in 1913, 3S2.S1"
totis; January io July, inclusive, hi
1914, 253,039 tons. So, with the
receipts from this country airl
other countries shipping to i'urope
as well, their supply of copper on
hand is undoubtedly adequate to
meet the demand for sometime.
Hutte, Mont., August 12 The An

Wi'slioe involving extension and 1'"

pounds. Three thousand men there
have been thrown out of work in

Kelly, vice-president of tlie Anacot

thu following statement:
"Curtailment has been made ab
solutely necessary by reason of the
several conditions which have pre
vailed Tor nearly a v.car. The do
mestic copper trade has :>een ery
bad due to the general business .im
pression existing In the country. Tin
copper producers hjtve been kep*
going by Huropean trade, which
lias been fairly good, the greater
part of the copper which 'tis been
soid having been exported."
0. L. Dickeson Interviewed
The Daily Alaskan lias been
endeavoring Tor several days to
obtain a statement t'rotn O. L.
Dickeson, president ol' the AVliite
Pass & Yukon Route, who is al
so president of the Atlas Mining
company :it Whltelicrse, as to the
effect of the war on the copper
market on the local mining situa
tion here. Mr. Dickeson has absol
utely declined to give any informa
tion whatever pertaining to the lo
cal situation at all, until today,
when he gave out the following
statement:
"Naturally a depression in tlie
copper market elsewhere through
the whole world affects our situa
tion vitally here. AVe are still op
erating, however, and hope to con
tinue operations, if possible to o'o-*
tain concessions in other direc
tions to offset the heavy loss
es the mine is now undergoing as a
result of continuation of shipment.
We have asked for these concessions
along the lines of all interested
sharing a small part of the burden
to tide over the period of depression
If this can be brought about the
mine can continue and normal con
ditions can be reinstated when the
price of copper increases slightly.
Otherwise, we may bo compelled to
do wh; t over fifty per cent of the
other mines have done—close down.
This, however, wo are strenuously j
endeavoring to avoid by having nil
interested in tho welfare of the
mine operations contributo . some
thing in the interest of keeping t,ha
mine going, which is in their own
interest. It would seem this is
the wisest thing to bo done, if it
can bo brought about, in view of
the general depression and the
chaotic conditions in the mining
world, which is a direct result of
the war—something that could not
be forseen or prevented, but must
be dealt with to meet the conditions,
if possible. Inasmuch as co-called
experts and business men heading
large industry, in a liiuclj. better
position to judge than we arc here,
cannot venture a prediction as to
which way the copper market will
finally go, it would seem the wisest
plan is to at least give all con
cerned in the industry dependent
upon it for revenue, and direct livli
feood an opportunity to each to
contribute a small amount, which
hi tho aggregate may keep the
mine going through the period of
ut'i'i fssiuu; wiiii, uuwcvvif i iiu u.«
tii>ct understanding that when cop
l<er goes up to given point form
er normal conditions will bo re
instated. For the mine, wo are
willing to endeavor to work out this
plan, even to the extent of continu
ing to operate at souio loss. For
the railawy, wo are willing to cut
tile rates one dollar and fifty
cents a ton,which any one knows is
much less than the cost of hand
ling to contribute the largest part
of the amount necessary to con
tinue operations during the period
of depression. If all others in
terested undertake to assist in
circling the situation in tile same
spirit the mine and the railway has
undertaken to nt'<et it, we will try
to continue operations. We have
been making extensive telegraphic
inquiries pertaining to the situation,
and so far us known all the mines
closing down have abruptly thrown
heir men out of work without giv
ing them the opportunity of saying
whether or not they were willing to
assist in meeting the situation tem
porarily.
"We have a splendid organization
of good, loyal men, and we expect
to take them into our confidence,
explaining the whole situation and
give them such an opportunity. Ill
tho meantime the mine will contin
ue operations until our employes
themelves ftavu an opportunity to
confer with us and see what they
are willing to do. As all mining
men know, this is quite a lifferent
subscribed to in this unfortunate
crUis, and it is our belief that
liio men themselve will appreciate
our atltiude in the matter, in
vi« w of the large number of men
out of employment in the mining in
dustry elsewhere."
