THE COPPER SUPPLY.

Boston News Bureau: 1t is yet an open
question whether the American supply
of copper will be increased or diminished
this year. None of the large producers,
with the exception Of the Calumet &
Hecla, are in position to materially in
crease their output.
The Boston & Montana can increase it's
output by working more of the richer
rock in it's ore reserves in the upper part
Of the mine. These ore reserves, which
are sufficient to last at least five years
at the present rate of the mines produce
ton, run about 10 per cent in copper
while the present run Of the mime is
nearer Z per cent. But taking the three
great producers-the Anaconda, the CAL
umet & Hecla and the Boston & Montana,
which yield the bulk of the American pro-
duction-it is not believed there will be
the year, and there may be a slight de-
crease. The Calumet & Hecla n the
Boston & Montana increase in production
| being offset by the Anaconda's decrease.
Anaconda, however, is making far more
money thar ever before in it's history.
! For on an output as low as 1O0,0 900, 900
! pounds of copper per annum the company
should be earning three times the divi-
dends it has been paying by reason of the
advance in copper.
The position of the copper market is
a very strong one, and it is calculated by
the Amalgamated copper interests that
any mistakes that have been made to
ate in it's purchases will be more than
balanced by a continuation of the pres
ent high market for copper, and there is
nothing in sight to indicate a decline in
| the price of the metal. 1t should also be
said that there is nothing in sight to
warrant fears on the parts of consumers
of any material advance.
The Calumet & Hecla company is still
selling copper to consumers at 1917 cents
in any quantity that may be desired, and
is able to supply orders for American or
foreign consumption at this price to the
extent, between now and January l next,
of at least 80, 900, GOO pounds. Foreign
consumers. however, have been holding
off in their purchases of late, and must
soon re-enter the market.

BUTTE CITY WATER co.

That the holders Of Butte City Water
company securities may be fully informed
of the financial needs Of the company, the
protective committee submit a statement
of the company's assets and liabilities up
to May rs, 1899. at which time the proper
ty was placed in the receivers hands:
Liabilities: Demand loans, $S5, sos; ac-
coun payable at Butte, $10,697; sinking
fund at Boston. 5000; unpaid coupons,
s4,725; unpaid interest on coupon scrip,

Assets: Cash in bank at Boston, $27,-
sos; cash in bank at Butte, $S9, 557; ac-
counts receivable at Butte, $34,073; total,
$101. 227; balance Liabilities May %, 1899,
$23S, 319.
Amount needed to provide additional

tain present franchise. 81 ,646, 500, amount
necessary to be provided by present Sc
curity holders if they wish to still pre-
serve and own the property, $1,SS5, 900.
There are II bonds belonging to the COM
pany which have been pledged as collat-
eral for demand notes amounting to $751;
COG. ."
AS originally planned, the water supply
of the Butte City Water company was
sufficient for a population of 25. 1000 people,
but the growth of the city has far out
stripped the facilities of the company to
provide water, and in the effort to keep
pace with the constantly increasing needs
of the city the above increase in liabili-
ties has been incurred, and in spite of the
fact that the company has expended over
$3.50, 900 for the purpose of adding to and
improving its water supply the resources
of he company are entirely inadequate
to cope with the requirements of a city
now of between SO. 0GO and sc, 900 people
and rapidly increasing in population.
The company is brought face to face
with the contingency that unless a sutfi-
cient supply of wholesome water is i'm
mediately provided the city will take
steps to have the franchise annulled.
Nearly 81, 900, 900 must be provided in
order to procure an ~undoubted supply of
pure water and thereby continue to meet
the requirements of the franchise.

sumed in hearing the evidence.
Chicago: Mortimer Cunningham and
a man named big Jim," both stable

phyXiated by gas in the New Era hotel

Billings: The Crow Indian commiss-

The matter has been under consideration

successful conclusion at The council which
the Indians have been holding during the
week at the agency. The price is nearly
double what was paid for the last cession

whether congress VIII pass the act appro-

They built the ditch. but after it was con-

The disagreement ended in a quarrel. in
which Anderson pulled a gun on Cook and

had Anderson arrested on a charge of

occurred last week, and one George Hen

testimony, it was believed, would be

! the community, was with Anderson, and
accordingly Hensen did not appear at the
preliminary examination before Justice

that if he did not keep his promise they
would certainly kill him.
