Especial TO The IIeraldO

New York, May 1.-THE American
Smelling & Refining company does not
propose to keep it's stockholders in ig-
norance of its condition and business,
but will, from time to time, give them
such information as it can consistently.
1t has issued it's stockholders a circu-
lar, grouping some new facts. with
others, which have been more or less
known.
The company has an authorized CAPT
tai consisting of So. 500 900 preferred ac-
cumulative Z per cent and S52. .500. 900
common stock. OF each class $500. 600
stock remains in the treasury of the
company. The companys registrar is
the Chase National bank and the Man
haitian Trust company is its transfer
agent. The circular says:
THE consolidation of the interests
represented by the companies owned
and controlled by the American Smelt
ing * Refining company was effected
upon the basis of actual current earn
ings sufficient to pay dividends on the
stock of the new company issued and
outstanding of approximately . per
cent on the preferred and per cent on

sumed that with the advantages accru-
ing from a combination of formerly
competing interests. and with possible
economies in the consolidated manage

show a substantial increase"

A condition resembling anything but
that harmony which is supposed to exist
between political brethren prevails among
the fusionists at the court house, and
County Auditor Evenson II coming In for
much condemnation at the hands OF his
political associates The row has been
caused by a desire on the part Of many Of
the clerical force In the court house to
have their salaries raised.
Mr.. Evenson's opponents IN his own
party say that when the idea of petition.
Ing the county commissioners to raise the
sahries OF the clerical force was preached
to him he not only refused to lend II his
support, but threatened to discharge any
employee In his office who signed the pet
ton. Consequently the petition idea was
abandoned and the men employed in the
court house are working hard to accom-
plish their purpose without a petition
Mr.. Evenson was not at the court house
yesterday afternoon, but one Of his depu-
ties denied that he had forbidden HIS en-
ployes to sign a petition.
Mr.. Evenson is not in sympathy with
the petition idea, however" said the dep
uty He believes that next year the
fusionists win make their county fight on
the alleged extravaganza of the Repub
lican board Of county commission
ers, and he doesn't want to be con-
frontcd with a petition for Increased ex
ouently, while he is willing Cor us to draw
more pay, he has discouraged the idea OF
his deputies signing any petition or going
on record In any way as favoring an in
creased expenditure Of county funds. I'M
dersbaiiding his feelings ON the matter. the
deputies In cur Office have refused to sign
any petition. and understand the idea
has been abandoned. As 1t Ia, however,
the salaries Of two OF the deputies In this
office have recently been increased from
SIS to ss5 per month"
When this statement Of Mr.. Evenson's
deputy was told TO an employe OF the
treasurer's office, the latter was not slow
In denouncing his fellow f,isionist.
"Evenson is guilty OF bit OF cheap
demogogy," he said. Boiled down, his
position, as explained by his spokesman,
is that he IL willing to reap the profits of
a raise IN salaries, but wants to make a
fight on the county commissioners next
year for doing the thing that his friends
and oflcial associates wanted done"
