The Cuban sugar interests are unable to corner the world's sugar mar-be- t. If they could do so they might easily force the American housewife But to pay war prices for her sugar. the plan is impracticable. The reason it is impracticable lies in the fact that America has its own sugar production facilities. The tariff on sugar has put the American beet sugar farmer into the game and he acts as a check to all efforts for a world combination. The elimination of the tariff on sugar would put the American beet sugar grower out of business. Then after they controlled the world market the foreign sugar producers could do that the rubber producers have done. Taking the tariff off sugar not only would not permanently reduce the price to the consumer but would in the end greatly increase it. According -. RICHEST COPPER DEPOSIT romance as well as the scientific and technical aspects of metal mining is set forth in a recent publication of the Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior, entitled The ore deposits of the Jerome and Bradshaw Mountains quad-eagle- s, Arizona. The area includes the famous United Verde and United Verde Extenson mines, as well as ny that are smaller and less well The been paid by this mine. Both mines are in bodies of copper-bearin- g pyrite. The production of the mines of this .group to date has amounted to about $130,000,000. The other metal mines of the area are in simple veins containing gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc minerals. Some of these have been worked at considerable profit and have been explored to 1,000 or 1,500 feet below the surface. Many others have shown steady decline in grade at less depth. In some a sharp decline in the yield of gold and silver took place at water level, 100 to 400 feet below the surface, and it is concluded that the upper zone has been enriched during erosion. Tables are given in the report showing the details of annual production of the metals since 1900 for each of the 15 or more districts in the area described. The total value of all metals produced to the end of 1923 is estimated at about $300,000,000.
