fully acquainted with the earning power
OF the properties. and who are firm be-
levers in the intrinsic value of the in

company, including the Cananea Con-
solidated Copper Company, which it
owns. shows that the net profit from
operation for the fiscal year amounted
to $500, 464. The report sets forth that
