COPPER CO.'S ; RECORD APRIL RUN Said to Haye Laid Copper in New York at Lowest Figure News comes from the head office in New York that the British Columbia Copper company was able to lay its copper down in New York dgring the month of April at the lowest, cost which it has thus far reached, namely, 7.963 cents per pound. The lowest cost reported prior to this was 9.999 cents. The nel profits for April were reported $32,813 on a production of 659,959 pounds of copper. The British Columbia Copper company has not yet reached the stage where it is entirely independent of fuel and labor troubles, aiid since May 5 the properties of the company have not been able to operate on account of lack oi fuel lor the smelter, occasioned by the coal miners' strike in Eastern British Columbia. Although a conciliation board has been at wortoendeavoring.to secure; a settlement of the strike troubles such a point has not yet been reached, so the resumption of operations at the British Columbia Copper properties is at least a month distant.

Hackett was associated with George Scott and Henry Matthewson in acquisition of coal lands at Lethbridge; his partners afterwards formed a company and shut him out, and this judgment is result of his action to recover his share. Thursday was the regular payday at the Granby, and Tuesday will be payday at the Snowshoe. About $45,000 is distributed among the employees of the mines. Accompany will be formed to develop the Buster mineral claim on the West Fork. A lead 18 inches wide and 1 2 feet deep has been uncovered oh the property. Another machine has'been put to work at the Snowshoe mine and the force slightly increased. The' shipments of the past week, 2,950 tons, is the largest weekly tonnage from the mine this year. ' The timbers are ready and preliminary work about completed for the tramway to be constructed on the south slope from the Phoenix Amalgamated. The tramway- will convey the ore from the mine to the C.P.RL spur from Hartford Junction. H. V.. Fuller .purposes running a tunnel.to tap the vein of the Bay mine at, depth. With the numerous proposed tunnels to be run to tap leads of highgrade'properties at depth, the big hill will in time become' riddled with bore holes. ��� ; . .;���'.'.'���';;' Good reports come from the Rambler property oh the West..

As few mines, .other than those of the Crow's Nest -Pass Coal company, were mining coal there was not general activity at the collieries. The Alberta Railway' and Irrigation company is erecting a big steel tipple and installing heavy plant apd ^machinery at No, 6, a new mine, situated about four miles from Lettybridge at which development of the coal seam was one lately commenced. The Diamond mine,-distant by,road about twelve miles from Lethbridge, is preparing for shipment of coal, to be commenced after the G.P.R. company's big steel trestle-bridge over Belly river at Lethbridge shall be completed, about September next.

The main tunnel is in 1,200 feet, and 300 tons of coal are being shipped daily. The Crow's Nest Pass company is steadily preparing for a much increased output of Coal at both Michel and Coal creek colleries, the further development of the .coal seams and additions to equipment being with this end in view. The St. Eugene is producing between 500 and 600 tons of lead-silver ore a day,.nearly'all of which is concentrated in the mill.

Miners Metal mining is the one iudustiy that has madfeBritish Columbia.famous. ,Had it not been for the''discoveries of mines irf Kootenay and Yale districts between 1890 and 1895, British Columbia would today be a province peo pled by a. few stock raisers and lumbermen. The working of the mines near Nelson and Ainsworth, the discoveries in the Slocan, at Rossland, and in the Boundary,-'brought people to the province. These people were not al1 miners. Some: ol them were born on farms and knew how to work. They cleared land,-, planted vegetables that grew to perfection. Next they planted fruit trees, that in time produced fruit that won prizes in competiton with fruit grown in other lands. They built sawmills that made lumber from timber growing in.districts that looked inaccessible. They developed water powers that are among the largest in the world. They built cities that are the equal of those built in -older-settled countries. They built school houses and churches. They were good citizens, and became part of the. permanent population of the province. They did not encourage the immigration' of Asiatics and they did not employ those who were in the country. British Columbia owes much to metal mining.���Prince Rupert- Empire. ���;"���'.' ��� .��� - - .-���''���'������ ; Lever Brothers, Toronto, will send you free a cake of������ their famous Plantol toilet.soap, if you mention this, paper. pimh^ 3 I DEANE'S HOTEL j g -DANNY DEANE, Proprietor.

You don't want them OUR COPPER CORNER \ MATTERS OF 1NTKRKST TO THOSE INTERESTED COPPER MIMING INDUSTRY IN THE The Copier Markat The developments in the copper metal market during the past week have been of a favorable nature, prices having advanced substantially and the volume of business having increased largely. The buying has been very heavy throughout and has resulted in advancing the price of Lake to 13^ to'13^, cents a pound while the quotation on electrolytic is now 13^ to 13^. Even at these prices there is not much copper to be had as most of the leading agencies are sold up ahead for two or three months and they are anxious to quote prices on distant deliveries. We know of one Lake producer who refused 13^0 cents for a good sized block of the metal this week and there are others who are practically doing the same. The heavy buying is Sue" to the" fact that the large consumers have discovered finally that general business is improving rapidly and that the supply of copper is none too large. They have been buying from hand, to mouth for some time but now that they see signs of prosperity ahead they are anxious to lay in supplies. In trying to do so they find that copper is not so plentiful as they thought it was and the advancing prices are the result of their efforts to make up for lost time. With the producers in such an independent position as they are at the present time there is every reason to expect 15 cent copper within a few months, possibly sooner than that. This is the opinion of the best posted copper men in the business and they hay'e been right for a long time.���- Copper Curb. companies to play the part in copper consumption they did before the-: 1907 crisis put a stop to most new construction;'..."'.'. - A ... ; ���": Last month the hint was given by William A.;"-Paine;' president of the "Copper range," and identified with half-a-dozen other successful mines, that it is not generally appreciated how much copper is taken by new demands, ���as in the brass'beds popular only a few years since, How. long since there were subway cars in New York to be sheathed with copper? Modern office; buildings to be walled, faced, roofed, and ornamented with copper sheets, . cornices, and grille work ? automobiles and motor cars, to use more than 10,000,- 000 pounds a year, largely in the form of brass? railroad terminals like the Pennsylvania's which alone has already bought 1,000,000 pounds? From the brass tube in the high pressure locomotive boiler to the little brass clips ;.so convenient with office papers, this copper alloy is called for in an increasing number of million pounds every year. On the tenth of last month were published the April figures for the United States,: Canada, and Mexico���' at the record breaking rate of 3,785,- 809 pounds a day. This copper boom has been going on for eighteen months. The big mines have been running 100 per cent, capacity. Yet the increase in the "stocks of copper on hand" for April was less than a million pounds. In former months this year it ranged from nine to twenty-two millions.���Review of Reviews. The payroll at the St. Eugene mine, Moyie, last Thursday was $46,000 Strikes on the GnloYn 1'elle, Mother Lode and Kootenay Belle at Sheep creek were reported during the past week. The Ferguson mine at Ferguson and the North Star at Kimberly.'east Kootenay, appeared on the shipping'list last week lor the first time this year. The Noble Five mine in the Slocan will shoitly resume 'operations. The property was oiie of ihe big shippers in the early days, and is owned b> Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmuir. ��� The bondho'ders of trie Summit mine at Sheep creek are waiting for sn Iw to clear away to commence extensive development operations. There is sufficient ore iti sight to pay for many 'months work With a large:staff. The Canadian Metal Co. is going into voluntary liquidation at a meeting to be held in Nelson on June 12th. S. S. Fowler will be appointed liquidator. A new company is to be formed, known as the New Canadian Metal Co., with'a capital of $1,100,000. Another gold brick was brought to Nelson this week from the Nugget mine. Its value is about $8,600 partly representing a 2o:day run of the mill. The whole proceeds of the run would not go into the brick mould, the surplus being about 18 ounces, which would bring the total value of the product of the run up to $8,350. This value from a four stamp mill in the same number of days has probably never been equalled in this province. miZttkettt Production A preliminary report 011 the mineral production of Canada' in 1908 has just been prepared by the Department of Mines, and as compared with the revised figures of 1907 shows an increase of half a million dollars in value of output. The report says : .''.'���������' A preliminary review of the mineral production in Canada in iyo8rshows'a total mineral output valued at slightly over 87 million dollars as compared with a little less than 87 million d.bllars in 1907. The industry has therefore in' the aggregate more than held its own, despite the large decreases in the.'prices of the metals. That this falling off in the prices of the metals has been an important and serious question for the metal-mining industries will be better realized when it is stated that had cop ' .- v. . ... * p^er, silver, lead and'nickel' maintained as high average ih: 1908 as in. 1907, their total production in Canada in 1908 would have been worth 8'miliioh dollars more to the producer than was actually the case. ears,: Jf ad.
