Copper and Silver Output Favorable
in 1913.
■ The production of copper* from ore

135,853,409 pounds, having n ^vaij-elof
$21,057,278, "the copper' being calculated as an average value of. 15.5 cents a
pound, according to returns received
by B.."S-. Butler", of the United States
Geological Survey. Thernine output
was much .smaller than the smelter
production, a,s considerable* "material,
mined and milled previous to .1913 was
smelted during the year. . The production compares* with an output of
-218,138,408 pounds in 1912, valued at
$35,902,83.7.
The great decrease in output by the
mines was due to the labor troubles
which began July 23 and continued
for the rest of the year. The output of
all mines .was greatly reduced in the
latter half of the year, and several
mines were not operated after July 23.
The mines produced 7,016,307 tons of
ore with an average copper recovery of
19.36 pounds to the ton compared with
11,411,941 tons of ore in 1912 with an
average copper recovery of 19.1 pounds
to the ton.
In addition to copper the mines produced 295,173 ounces of silver in 1913,
compared with 528,453 ounces in 1912.

Governor's Proclamation.
One of my dearest memory pictures
is father sitting in the .cooling shade of
a beautiful pine that -he and I planted
long years ago. The -sweet, plaintive
music of this tree comes back to me in
moments of solitude. . Trees are real
friends of man, be'ast.and bird. In recent years we have come to realize
this. It is hoped that Americans will
acquire enthusiasm in preserving useful and beautiful trees in both city and
country, .that they will plant every year
useful and beautiful trees by the roadside, in school yards, about their homes,
in parks and farm fields. '
- Let us cherish a loyalty and love for
Our feathered songsters; yes, a tender
regard for, the birds who can't sing,
birds that destroy in the 'aggregate
millions of destructive insects. Tho
economic and aesthetic value of* bird
life is beyond .calculation. The hearta
of boys and girls and "grownups1' be^
coflie more human, more helpful, as
they'come to read aright the Creator':;
message in the lives of trees and birds-.
Therefore, I, Woodbridge N. Ferris,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby designate Friday, May 8, A. D.
1914, as Arbor and Bird Day, and do
request that this Say be observed by all
schools,, public, and private,   and other
