A new smelter is being built at Ana

October rs. 1901, says that orders have
been issued to have the new Amalgamat-

alton November IS. It is stated. how
ever. that 1t will take from 60 to 80
days more to complete the work. An
effort is being made to have the concen-
traitors ready by the 18th Of next month.
When completed it will be the largest
smelter In the world. and will treat ore
at the expense two-thirds less than the
old works of the company.
The Boston & Montana Consolidated
Copper & Silver Mining company is also
one of the largest producers in the coun-
try. The mines of this company are
exceedingly rich in copper bearing ores.
and although it's product contains gold
and silver in considerable quantities, the
chief value of the Boston & Montana lies
in the fact that it is pre-eminently a
copper producer, and at remarkably
low cost. Since 1890 it has increased
its production of copper from 26.S22, S04
pounds In that year to about 10000, 900
pounds in 1900. The company was in
corpOrated in Montana territory, July 10,
1887, to operate copper mines and smelt-
ers at Butte and Great Falls, and in
June. 1901, practically all of the stock
OF this company, consisting Of $50. coo
shares of the par value Of $25, total capt.
tai $S.15OOOO, was acquired by the Anal
gamated Copper company, the latter CIV
ing four shares of its stock (par value
$4,000 for one share (par value s25) of
the Boston & Montana. In the year 1900
this company paid four quarterly divi-
dends aggregating $43 per share, and
has paid in all over $25, 900, 900 in divi-
dends In less than eight years. 1t has
a bonded debt OF $500, geo Z per cent

this company December Z, 1900, and a
dividend of 50 per share was declared
October Is. 1901. 1t has bonded debt

The Parrot Silver & Copper company,
located in Montana. has capital of
100000 shares. par SO, total capitaliza-
ton $2.3OO.0OO. The control of the prop
critics of the Parrot Silver & Copper
company was transferred during 1899
to the Amalgamated Copper company,
who have assumed the direction of these
mines and other appurtenances. The
Parrot properties are 10 in number, and
have been steady producers for the past
II years. Aside from purchasing new
mines, building two new smelters and
refneries. the company has paid over
$5,5OO.OOO in dividends to date, the last
quarterly dividend Of 81 per share having
been declared September 20, 1901. The
Parrot company is largely owned in and
about Bridgeport, Conn.,, at which place
the company owns a large refinery. In
the year 1900 the Parrot produced about
100000 pounds of "copper" and, in ad-
dition, the mine produced large guam
tity of silver and considerable gold.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RESPECTING NAMES DEVELOP
MENT, RESOURCES DIVIDENDS.

From circular just issued by the
Boston brokerage firm of Barnard 4
Gilbert the following interesting, au~
1hentic and hitherto unpublished partic-
ulars touching certain of the great mines
Of Butte, their capitalization, resources,
dividends, development and prospects is
given:
The Anaconda Copper company,
which is one of the principal companies
controlled by the Amalgamated Cop
Der company, was incorporated under
the laws of Montana, June IS. 1895. and
owns one Of the largest mines in the
country. 1t is the largest producer of
copper and the second largest producer
Of silver in the world. It also controls
q number of smaller mines and claims,
and owns extensive tracts of undevel-
Oped mining property. The purchases,
equipment and development represent an
expenditure of over $4,000, 900. and every
dollar of this was taken from the mines.

pert, when'he recommended to the Lon
don Exploration company the purchase

said there was sufficient ore then exposed
20 insure continuous output for 50
years. The Anaconda has a large re-
ductiOn and smelling works at Anaconda,
Montana, which is said to have cost
100000. The company owns a con-
trolling interest in the Butte, Anaconda

and the company, through the National
City bank of New York, offered it's stock
at public subscription at par, and sub
$criptions were received until noon on
May 4, 1899. The total subscription
amounted to over $500, 900, 900. ami allot-
anents were subsequently made at the
rate of 20 per cent of the amount applied
for. During 1899, the stock sold on the
cprb as high as no and as low as Il,

New York exchange, has sold as high

October 20, 1901. Dividends of ~ per
cent. regular and " per cent extra have
been paid quarterly from October. 1899,
to July, 1901, both inclusive. On Septem-
Der 20, 1901. the regular quarterly divi-
dend of III per cent. payable October
%, 1901 was declared, without the extra
" per cent. Regarding this, Director A.
C. Burrage is quoted as saying: after
a careful consideration, the directors de-
cided that it would be wise at this time
to adopt a conservative policy, and to
omit the usual extra dividend of " per
cent. 1t was considered wiser to reduce
the dividend than to reduce the selling
price of copper The fact that the Civ
idends on the Boston & Montana stock
have been enjoined also exerted a good
deal of influence on our minds. The
stockholders may rest assured that in
the end this action of the directors will
prove the wisest that could have been
taken; moreover, it is not unlikely that
tile dividend rate will be restored at
not far distant date

ABOLISH THE AGENCIES.

Commissioner Evans is just now
receiving fresh evidence of the sound
ness of his recommendation tor the
gradual abolition of the system OF
granting pensions through attorneys.
1t appears that the harpies who thrive
by the ysten are picking up lot OF
new business among the soldiers OF
the Philippine war. They perch on
the docks at San Francisco awaiting
returning transports and begin their
seductive wiles the moment troop is
landed. Soldiers are persuaded to
make applications for pensions before
they are discharged, though i'll such
cases it is only the attorney S fees
that hold. the applications being by
law no better than SO many blanks.
Another device is TO have the men
swear to disabilities from which they
are entirely zee. This insures a fee
also, and possibly a pension. which
should be for badge of eternal dis
grace.
While. however, there is no excuse
for wasting any sympathy OH the
sham heroes. deeper sco1n should
be felt for the foul breed of swindlers
who hurry on their decentralization
and make a business Of fraud. Fur
the1more, although there are attor-
news who would not identify themsel-
yes with questionable claims or ask
more than proper fee for work don,
the practice of professional Soliciting
is bound to spread rot ard corruption
until the evil far exceeds any posi-
BILE good from the system. For, a.
legitimate cases decrease by settle
ment, the claim sharpe1s are NOR
and more ilnpelled to invent illegiti
mate ones and so to extend a vas
scheme of thie> cry having for its vic
Tins both the government and indi-
viduals.
Commissioner Evans is right. Thi:
particular kind of brokerage SHOULD
be abolished and the government 1t
self should undertake to look aft e
the presentment as we'll as the inves
tigation of claims. There is not like
ly to be any trouble from modesty OF
the part OF individuals in first calm;
attention to their wants.
