KENNECOTT MINE
Statisticians have figured that the
net profits of American copper pro
ducers during the current year will
amount of *300.000,000. These profits
are based upon an estimated produc
tion of 2,033,000,000 pounds, at an av
erage cost of production of 8 3-4
cents per pound. In the list of pro
ducing companies' estimated produc
tion and estimated cost per pound,
the Kennecott mine stands first as to
low cost of production, its cost per
pound being 4 3-4 cents, as against 13
cents for North Butte, 11 cents for
Calumet & Hecla, 7 cents for Utah,
and various figures between the ex
tremes for the different other com
panies, of which more than 30 are
listed. In the estimated production
Kennecott stands forth with 120,000,
000 pounds, given as the 1916 total.
It is exceeded only by Anaconda 320,
000,000 pounds, Utah 175,000,000
Phelps-Dodge 155,000.000. Think of
the tonnage it means for railroads.
When it is considered that this new
Alaska property forges ahead of Chile,
Inspiration Bay, Calumet & Hecla,
Cerro de Pasco, East Butte, Copper
Range and various other properties,
the remarkable development as well j
as the high value in the ore can be i
well understood.

SEINE LED BY
ROYALTY
LONDON, March 16. — Almost half
of the domestic staff of Buckingham
palace has been released for duty at
the front, and the life of the royal
family brought down to a simplicity
in keeping with times of war. The
king still allows no wine at the table,
and the meals served are plain and
simple, ns an example In self-denial to
the people. Queen Mary, on her part,
takes great care to prevent waste.
One of the court institutions she has
reduced in cost is the royal orchestra.
The queen also insists on strict eco
nomy in the management of the war
time charitie sover which she pre
sides.

ROME, M,arch 16. — Italian antiques
are being exported to the United
States in unprecedented quantities,
according to United States Consul
William F. Kelly. During the past
year the export of such items amount
ed to the value of $334,616, as com
pared to $169,170 in 1914, and $141,
441 in 1913, the reason being that an
tiques have generally become a drug
on the European markets as against
the new souvenirs and curiosities cre

RUSSIA CURTAILS
l’KTROGRAD, March 16. — A com
mittee of members of the Duma have
begun a thrift campaign, and are urg
ing the government to support them
by prohibiting importation of luxur
ies and by using every means In its
power to turn the stream of unfruit
ful expenditure into the channel of
national war effort.
Tile committee urges that the rail
ways should cease to carry anything
but the necessaries of life, and pro
tests that flowers and mineral waters
have in some cases been given prece
dence over flour and coal. The minis
try of railways has just announced
that passenger traffic on the line from
Petrograd to Moscow will be stopped
for a week, In order to allow the accel

particularly seen thoRC who are sup
posed to be opposed to the govern

turned last evening on the Watson
with a statement that not the slight
est trouble may be expected from any
opposition, and that the large appro
priation of six millions will go '
through without any hitch whatever.
The opposition, the judge says, has no
strength, even granting that It prac
tically exists at all. The Judge had
a fine trip and escaped all the bad
weather, having had the luck not to
be in any of the cities at the time they
had their storms. He visited New
York, as well as Washington, St. Paul
