Harry Foster is hauling ore from the
Banner mine. on Indian creek, for Gem
nell Brothers. The ore will go to the
Colorado smelter.
James Sauna has taken a lease and
bond on the Bamboo Chief, near Vir-
ginia City, and is taking out some good
ore. The Bamboo Chief has produced
much very rich ore in the past and is a
good property.
Tom Gibbons and Lou Moore have a
lease on h Sunbeam mine, on Indian
creek. The boys left here for the mine
Monday with a large supply of grub.
They will commence operations at once,
w. j. Miller and James Brakey left
for Upper Mill creek Monday morning.
They will do some work on the Hobson
and Dewey claims in that section. The
claims belong to Miller & Linderman,
and show a good body of high-grade
ore. The Hobson shows from 6 to 1e
inches of shipping quartz from the grass
roots to the bottom of the shaft, which
up to the present is but 80 feet deep.
A new strike of very high-grade ore
has been made on the Golden Wedge
mine, on Wisconsin creek. The prop
erty is owned by Hyndman, Haines &
Filing. ya@

LOW A P

from time to time during the past few
years the eastern financial journals have
pupilshed columns of rot ciNling atten-
tlon TO the fact that the ores of the Ana
conda properties We're becoming of very
low grade and that within a limited
period the bottom would drop out of
them. They overlooked the fact that
some OF the greatest copper mines of the
world are low grade propositions.
Inc Calumet & Hecla is one of the
richest mines in the world. It's very
name represents something fabulous,
yet it's ore ranges in value from 1A to 5
percent copper, an average of 3A per-
cent. This signifies $3.50 ore, taken on
the unit basis. but last year the mine
cleared $40. 000,0 900, paying S. 900, 900 to
the stockholders. The dividends it has
paid to date exceed SOS, 900, 900. Every ton
of rock has to be raised from a depth
ranging from 1000 to 5000 feet, In other
words. a depth of nearly a mile has been
reached. Upwards of $40, 900, 900 has
peen expended for equipment and 35
years nave been occupied in bringing the
Workings to this stage, and yet the mine
does not carry a cent in gold values. The
ore Is mined, treated and sent to New
YORK at a net cost of from 6 to 6R cents
per pound. On the Tamarcak, which has
the same lode as the Calumet, $4OO, 900
was expended in five years in sinking a
shaft $500 feet. There were no surface
shoWings. but an engineer assured the
owners where the ore could be found,
The opinion of the expert, both in re-
gard to cost, depth and time, has been
verified almost to the letter. With a
par value of $25, the shares today are
worth $500. Last year the Osceola mined

Opinions differ as to the dividend
which the Boston & Montana will de-
clare this month Guesses range from
Sl2 to ST. per share. Mr.. Galen l.. Stone,
of Hayden, Stone & Co., who has studied
the Boston & Montana situation closely,
says:
Should the Boston & Montana de-
clare SIS this quarter, the company will
lave paid to its shareholders in this
calendar year $43 per share, or sc. 45O. 900.
1t is current report that in addition to
doing this the company Will have added
approximately $3.50, 600 to its surplus cash
assets. The net profit to the company,
therefore, above all OUTLAWS, including
construction OutlayS, will have been
about S., 200, 900.
There is reason to believe. however,
that real net earnings in this year will
have been considerably larger. BY re-
ference to the last annual report it will
be noticed that extensive additions to
plant were then under way. These ad-
ditions will doubtless have cost in excess
of S15O.O00. Including its construction
OUTLAWS, therefore, the Boston & Mon
tana will have made real net earnings
of about 81, $50. 600.
las a result of this years construct
ton OUTLAWS, it is believed by people well
Informed that the company will be in a
position to very materially increase it's
output. l am told that hereafter the
can produce IL, 600, 900 pounds
per month. That would mean an en-
ployment of the entire plant up to it's
maximum capacity. l have no reason to
think that the company will find it ex-
pedient to make such a large increase of
production Immediately, but it is reason
able to expect that the increased capac-
ity will be utilized to quite an extent.
1T is good opinion that the product Of
the Montana company for 1900 will have
been about $4,000, GOO pounds of copper.
1t will be noticed that in point of pro-
duction it is nearly as large as the
Calumet, if indeed the products of the
two mines are not substantially the
same. 1t viii be noted further tina the
Montana company is in a position to be-
come the leading producer of the eoun-
try if conditions of the copper market
Should warrant.
should the Montana company desire
to push its facilities to the utmost,
it is easily conceivable hat it might
surpass the Calumet even in the num-
Der of dollars, or net earnings, per share
in a good twelve months PERIOD

the Okhotsk sea. 1T is reported that very

Here also attractive discoveries have
been made. Again along the southwest
shores of the sea, n around the delta
OF the Amur river, there is considerable
semi-mountainous country which has
been hastily looke over. and will be a
mineral region in due time.
The Russian government has divided
the region into six departments, based
upon the river systems, and is nominally
proposing to rent these for terms of fif-
teen years to individuals who are pre-
pared to put up a bonus of 80. 900 rub
bles (about SIS, 900 per department, and
who will agree to pay a stated royalty.
But, as a matter Of fact, this bonus is
simply for the purpos of preventing the
individual miner from getting a foothold,
so That the mining rights can be farmed
out to certain corporations (mainly
American) who have already made ar
engagements with the Russian govern
ment to occupy the land and operate the
mines with native labor. So there is lit

UTAH CON.

The recent publication in the Inter
Mountain of the first annual statement
OF the Utah Consolidated company was
pleasant reading to numerous Specula-
tors in Butte who hold large blocks of
the stock, and who have been holding on
despite the fact that many rumors de-
rogatory to the property have been in
circulation.
1t is the general expectation of large
interests in the Utah Consolidated COM
pany that dividend payments on the
stock will mme soon after the first
of the year, at the quarterly rate of $1.25
per share. OF course, an important con
tingency to be taken into consideration
In this expectation is the maintenance of
the price of copper.
The report of the Utah company, issued
this week states that the yield of fine
copper was 6,491, 205 pounds and the re
ceipts from sales of copper We're 1858, 30S.
AS the report gives no evidence of any
considerable stock of fine copper on hand,
the average price received must have
been 1874 cents.
Soon after Jan. / the smelter is expect
ed to have a capacity of 45O tons per
day, against an average treatment of 225
tons the past year. In thus doubl Ing the
production, the cost is not necessarily
doubled, and net profits should therefore
be more than twice the net profits last
year-s661, 627.
To pay S. per share on the company's
100000 share capital necessitates the
earning and distribution of 81. 500, 900.
The task of maintaining S. per share div
idends, therefore, is by no me~ an easy
one, and depends primarily on the sue
cessful doubling of production (the cost

the maintenance of a high copper market
