Bisbee daily review., 1903-07-19

Arizona stock placed on the market now has the effect of knocking the stock down and an order for a small amount always results in putting it up half point or better
 One local brokerage officer had an order to sell fifty shares of Calumet & Arizona stock at s13G a share up all week and had difficulty in getting rid of the stock. It wasn't a question of Calumet people not wanting the stock but a case of the s7.500 necessary to negotiate the deal, not being in the hands Of the man who might buy. More than one Calumet man thought it good purchase but he simply didn't have the cash necessary to make it.
 What is true of this stock is equally true of the weaker stocks in the Arizona lists and it doesn't take a great many shares of anything to be placed on the market at listed prices to make the stock look very sick. Money is not any livlier locally than it was earlier in the summer and the local brokerage offices are not antici- pating much activity in the lists for a couple of months.
 Surprise May Be in Store.
 It has been noticed that a good deai of attention is being given Calumet & Bisbee stock lately. This stock which proved a flyer when it first went on the market took back seat when the Calumet & Cochise went on. These ! two were foated and are oficered by , the same people but the financials which are strongest in one are not so strong in the other The Cochise was favorite with local people and with Bisbee investors it was placed on the market and the attention it was given completely overshadowed the Bisbee.
 Nowadays when none of the stocks are being given any great attention people locally are keeping their eyes on the Calumet & Bisbee. The man. agement there got started after ore ahead of many of the other companies which commenced operations last spring and 1t is believed that the Bis bee. with all the quiet little hammer ing that has been dealt out to it, will make a showing with the ore before

 The figures given above above are all on the present basis of the product of the company and that price of the metal left at 13 cents. a pound. Next fall the Calumet & Arizona company will have its third furnace in working order. With the three furnaces work ing as they are needed, the local peo- pie believe that there will be no diff culty at all in the Calumet & Arizona producing 100000 pounds of copper a month, or adding nearly 50 per cent to the present product which iS coming from the furnaces.
 Results With Three Furnaces.
 At this ratio of production, ani with the same figures of seven cents q pound profit for the product the com pany would be cleaning up s210,000 a month profit. This would mean g., 52O, 900 profit per year. at the very con servative estimate. Of course these figures are simply the work of local financial people who are working on the results which have been obtained so far from the Calumet & Arizona and upon which the future is largely i based.
 One thing about the ore which the Calumet & Arizona is taking out which is not generally known is that this by-product alone is going to prove re- munerative. It is claimed that the Calumet & Arizona people are realiz- | ing more out of the gold cut of their ore than the freight charges on their | copper from Douglas to New York amounts to. It is said that there is s15 | in gold in each ton of bullion handled.
 The prodsct of the Calumet & Ari- zona is handled on the copper mar ] ket by Phelps, Dodge & company, the owners of the Copper Queen and the
 firm with which the Calumet & Arizona people have had more or less intimate business relations from the time the Michigan people first became interest ed in the Bisbee district. Phelps Dodge & company have been selling agents for the Calumet & Arizona ever since the new company had anything to sell. The product is shipped by rail to Galveston, Texas, and thence to New York by boat. It is said that the product is laid down in New York at less than one half cent a pound freight charges from Douglas

 Shipments of refined copper from Lake Superior smelters are steady. The Calumet & Hecla and Quincy companies have very little metal stored at their plants. At the Dollar Bay smelters of the Lake Superior Smelling companies there is consid- erable amount on the wharves, about 2,000 tons having accumulated in the last few days. Dullness may exist in the metal market, but conditions in the Lake Superior district do not reflect it. Many of the independent mines are still engaged in filling orders received few weeks ago It is evident that the floating supply of the red metal is small. Consumers are carrying such small stocks that it will only be mat ter of a little time before they will be forced to enter the market, adding strength to the situation.
 The following table gives the June production of the Lake Superior cop per district in detail. The figures are taken from official sources and are close approximations of the actual out puts:
