NO SILV Err ON HAND.
American Smelling & Refining Com
pany Sells the eMtal Ahead.

The report that the American Smelling
ana Refining company was carrying a
large amount of silver has been promptly
denied by officers of the company. 1t
served, however. to make public some in
terestinS statistics as to the eompany's
business. The annual output of silver in
the United States is about g.. 00o 600
ounces. OF this amount the smelling
company, it is stated. handles about 49,
00o.000 1t also handles about $4,000 GOO
ounces more from Mexican mines, or a
total of 1o,G00.000 ounces q year. or more
than the entire output of the United
States alone. While a large amount is
sold in this country for manufacturing
purposes, a greater amount finds a ready
sale in the London market. and the pro-
duction is frequently sold ahead. In
addition the company deposits at the
assay Office in the city of New York on
an average every day about $4,000 of
gold Speaking of the report that the
smelling and refining company was car
rying a large stock of silver, Chairman
Guggenheim says:
Our company disposes from day 10 day

years, it having been closed down about
the time Ferdinand Van Zandt, the gen

because some of the capitalists OF that
country who were interested in 1t found
fault with the way things were going at
the mine. Mr.. Van Zandt had gone to
Europe for the purpose of interesting his
people in copper mines here, which had
not then been bought by companies He
knew the Blue Bird, the ore of which
carried silver and gold could name more
money for its shareholders if it possessed
a few good copper properties. and before
starting for England he secured lease
and bond for a very reasonable amount
of money on two claims one of which is
now an enormous producer of copper ore.

100000. Mr.. Van Zandt's bond on it
called for the payment of only about
$50. 900. When he laid the matter before
the members of the company they had a
fit, and Mr.. Van ZanGt. thorough prince

keenly that he took his own life.
In its time the Blue Bird mine was a
great producer of silver and gold, yield

but after the white metal dropped in the
scale of appreciation there was no great
money to be made from its ore.

DISTRICT OUT WEST
EASTERN MEN FIGURED ON Elk
PLoRING IT FOR COPPER.
MATTER IS RESTING EASY
Something May Yet Transpire That
Will Induce Them to Continue
Negotiations for One Particular
Property, the Blue Bird.

If so much fuss had not been stirred up
in the East over the outlook for copper
it is possible that there might be some
thing doing now in the way of opening
up new ground in the Butte district.
Shortly before the agitation began some
Eastern men We're figuring on organizing
a company and buying the Blue Bird
property. located about three miles west
of the city, but from present indications
the matter has been dropped, Tor the
present at least.
Not many Of the details OF the proposed
deal are known in Butte. The gentlemen
intended to interest themselves in it on
the opinion that the vast copper veins
which traverse the district farther east
ing to bear a portion of the expense of
demonstrating the sincerity of their pro-
LESSONS. They even went so far as to
come to Butte and spend several days in
vestigating the possibilities Of such an
enterprise, and when they left it was
with the understanding that the matter
would receive further considera ton. Be-
fore they had been gone week. however,
the cry of an overStocked copper market
was raised and it doubtless had ten
dency to check them in the wor.. they
had outlined.
The Blue Bird is not copper mine
but the belief prevails that the ore might
turn into copper when the proper depth

RISKS OF MINING.
Profit Depends Upon Conditions Pecul-

The investor should always figure that
there are risks in mining, and the greater
the risk the lower the stock should be
Sold but no person should invest more
than he can afford to lose if anticipa-
tions fail to materialize; happily. how
ever. THE risks of mining are few"
says the Mining Microcosm, and are
for the most part those associated with
the opening up of a prospect or con-
fined to management after such opening
up is effected and the prospect has be-
come mine. The term mining pre-sup-
poses the existence of something to mine
as we'll as a motive for mining it. The
first condition is fulfilled in the presence
of a workable deposit of ore and the
second in the assurance of profit from its

CONDITION. OF COPPER,
A Boston Interest Spo-Ks Of the Red
Metal Situation.

Boston, Dec. GA copper interest says
Taking into consideration the fact that
the Amalgamated Copper company has
not been able to supply within the past
few weeks copper to the wire plants as
fast as required by them. and the fact
that the consumption of copper has been
restricted on account of others being
closed down. that companies of other
than the Amalgamated have sold their
products for only Il few months ahead
and that the Analgamated held vasy
quantities Of copper, why should the
Amalgamated hold off these deliveries
if it holds any copper, until the other
companies should be in the market to
supply the demand.
zone Of the largest producers OF cop
per in the Southwest that has recentlv
increased its product so per cent, bciug
in fact practically the only copper COM
pany that has increased its output this
year, and whose copper is being sod b.
the United States Metals Selling com
pany, states that they have never been
asked to curtail production, and that their
copper IS sold by the Selling company
and paid for Immediately on delivery
and that they have absolutely no copper
on hand today.
IF there is any great trouble with
the Amalgamated, taking all these facts
into consideration, and if there is ans
legitimate cause for the decline in the
stock, it is on account of the receversnip
proceedings recently brought by the
HeinZe interests, and not on account of
any weakness in the copper metal mar
ket. l do not believe that the Analga-
mated is carrying any stock on hand 9TH
