met and Hecla paid its owners In ready
cash from les to 432 per cent in single
year. The guess has been yentured by close
observers that Senator Clark, OF Montana
who was interested in the United Verde, of
Arizona, and number of mines in his own
State, had revenue one year of 81, 600 600 ,
but IL is impossible to find any good backing
for the assertion.
Ii was remarked six years ago that 20
per cent of the American copper came from
districts that were controlled by five in
dividuals. No details were furnished But
it seems probable that the interests men
toned were the Calumet and Heela, man
aged by Alexander Agassiz, for the Boston
owners; the Anaconda, of which Marcus
DAILY was manager, although halloween
ship had passed to the Exploration Syndi-
cate of London, in which the Rothschilds
were said to be active; Senator Clark,
Phelps & Dodge, who own or control the
Copper Queen, Detroit, and other Arizona
properties, and the Lewisohn & Bigelow
people, who owned the Tamarack, Kear-
sarge. and other Michigan mines.
Although it is difficult TO say exactly
how much the new company, that is sup
posed to have the Rockefellers behind it,
has actually accomplished it seems proba-
Bile that it has obtained control of the Tam
arack and less known properties in the
Lake Superior region and the Anaconda
mines. Rumor has assigned to the new
combination the Parrot, OF Montana. for
merly owned by Franklin Farrell; but 1t Is
not quite clear that this story is correct.
