NORMAL YIELD
OF KEiECOTT
I
BOSTON, April 28.—The current
production of .the Kennecott Copper
company of about 7,000,000 pounds
per month from the Alaska' proper
ties constitutes the normal yield for
this time of year. Through the sum
mer m<|pths the operations will speed
up somewhat, and the output may
again equal the high figures of a year
ago, when for several months it ran
above 10,000,000 pounds of copper.
Officials estimate that the current
year will show fully as great produc
tion from Alaska as did 1916, or ap
proximately 110,000,000 pounds. The
costs will be somewhat higher on ac
count of the payments of higher wage
bonuses. From the Beatson mine the
production now runs slightly better
than 1,000,000 pounds per month and
by July the capacity should be suffi
ciently increased to permit a yield
close-to 2,000,000 pounds a .month.
Work on doubling the capacity at
the leaching: plant at the .Bonanza
mine should be finished during the
next few months. This now has a car
pacity of close to 500 tons daily, and
will be increased to handle 1,000 tons
of tailings every day. The extraction
from the Bonanza product has been
better than 90 per cent; recovery
from the tailings exceeds 70 per cent.
Sixty-five per cent ore still figures
prominently in shipments from the

Bonanza mine. This direct smelting
material, along with concentrates and
precipitates goes to the Tacoma smel
ter of the American Smelting & Re
fining company.
Braden, in South America, must
now be regarded as an integral part
of the Kennecott. This mine, while
a long time “in the making,” has en
tered the profit making ranks, al
though every dollar of profit goes
back into the property. The earnings
have been sufficiently large to more
than pay dividends on the new plant.
JUNEAU SOLDIER
ORDERED OUTSIDE
_
(Juneau Dispatch.)
The first soldier to be ordered out
from Alaska to prepare for war is
Sergeant Zellermayer who has been
here training the company which
Juneau has raised for service. He
received his cable yesterday ordering
him to report at San Francisco, and
he will leave on the next boat for
Fort Seward, where he was stationed,
anil will then proceed to the Presidio,
probably to be engaged in training
the recruits there for real service.
His place will be taken here by Cor
1 poral Truesdall, whom Sergeant Zel
lermayer describes as a first class
man.
Zellermayer has passed his exam
ination for a commission and will
probably be soon appointed lieuten
ant. The men who have been drilling
under him describe him as wonderful
ly clever in military coaching.

EXHAUSTING
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April JO.— j
“Germany over all!’’ has now dwin
dled to “We hope we’ll pull through.”
This, at least, was the general opinion
of the feeling in Germany as express
ed by a party of 21 American consu
lar officers and their wives, recently
stationed in Germany, who were in j
port a few hours yesterday en route
from Cadiz to Havana and home. Un- ^
til very recently, according to mem
bers of the party, there had been no
change in the German mind that vic
tory was not as certain as at the be
ginning of the war. There is less
certainty now.
In this party of Americans, among
the last to leave Germany and who
did not get out until more than a week
after Ambassador Gerard had left
Berlin, were Dr. William Thomas Fee,
consul at Bremen, and James C. Mc
Nally, vice-consul at Hamburg, to
gether with their families. Others in
the party were Consul Michael J.
Hendrick, Plauen; Consular Agent
Joseph F. Buck, Bremerhaven; Consul
Leon Allen Bergholz, Dresden; Con
sul Charles I. Winans and Vice-Con
sul Ralph Dix, Nuremberg; Consul
Ferris, Mennheim; Vice-Consul Gies
ler, Cologne, and the family of Con
sul Henry C. A. Damm, formerly sta
tioned at Aix-la-Chappelle.
“Germany is gradually becoming
exhausted, although she still has great
power,” said a member of this party.
“She is exhausting her men, her food
PEACE FORESEEN
COPENHAGEN, April 28.—Peace
within two months and a half is pre
dicted by the Copenhagen correspond
dent of the Danish socialist press,
which confirms the reports of unoffi
cial negotiations between Russia and
German socialists as against the dip
lomatic denials in the socialist papers
here and in Berlin.
The first negotiations, says the cor
respondent, who is a socialist member
of the Danish parliament, were broken
off, enabling two papers to launch a
denial that they were in progress, but
they were immediately resumed and
are being prosecuted vigorously. The
correspondence enters into a discus
sion of peace terms in which he ap
pears to take German socialists expec
tations and hopes for the government
policy.
“I am assured from an absolutely
trustworthy source,” he says, “that
Germany still stands ready to restore
Belgium and Serbia, evacuate France
and with Turkey, arrange an agree
ment with Russia and the nations of
the world over the free navigation of
the Dardanelles. Turkey is willing to
reduce her forts along this famous
waterway. An agreement is also pos
sible on the Polish question, as the
Russian government knows.”
Prices Going Up.
COPENHAGEN, April 28.—The re
sults of the statistical investigation
into the war cost of living in Germany
which was conducted at April, 1916,
and which are now published, show
the cost of the bare necessities of life
for families in the lowest wage class
materially exceeds their income. This
class includes farilies earning from
100 to 200 marks monthly and their
living expenses are put at 222 marks,
five pfennigs.
The deficit, the report remarks, has
been covered by either drawing on
savings or running into debt. Prices
have steadily gone upward increasing
the impossibility of the poorly paid
classes in America, to make ends meet
without public relief.
A Cologne dispatch to the Berlin
Tageblatt says 68 bakeries there have
been closed by the police for violation
of food regulations.

supply and her supply of all raw ma
terials.”
“The great exhaustion in Germany
today is her supply of men,” said an
other consul. '‘All of the men from
17 to 65 have already been entered
for service. Marty of the boys under
17 have gone in so that when the new
classes are called there is no one to
respond. In the cities and in the
country one sees women, old men,
cripples and children. Nowhere is an
able-bodied man seen except in uni
form.
“There isn’t the war enthusiasm
there was, although the determination
of the people to keep on fighting is
wonderful. It isn’t a question of con
quest or a ‘place in the sun’ now, it’s
a question of preservation.
Fully 90 per cent of the people of
Germany had a warm, friendly feel
ing for the people of the United
States, said another consul.
Leaving Germany under the condi
tions which they did was not very
pleasant, according to various offici-,
als. No personal hardships were
placed in their way, he said, but
they might have been home by this
time had they received the first two
messages sent out from the Ameri-1
can embassy at Berlin telling of the
breaking of diplomatic relations be
tween Germany and the United
States.
“I was talking over my telephone
when the wire was cut,” said one con
sul. “No, I didn't inquire why. But
it took three and four days to get
messages that ordinarily reached us in
a few minutes by telegraph or tele
phone. I don’t think any of us inquired
why the general notice from the em
bassy, advising us of the diplomatic
break was not delivered. Hut it
wasn’t and we left Germany more
than a week after Ambassador Ger
ard did.”
