O0afles H. lidF0eut n OF buB ulIeC-
tors OF the Shannon copper company,
Is the senior partner OF the brokerage
drm. of Hayden, Stone s. Co., OF Bos-
ton. This drm sends out weekly a cir
cular letter giving the news Of the
Boston stock market, especially the
news OF copper stocks. In It's last let
ter It gave considerable space to the
Shannon company, and as the 0rm is
so intimately connected with the com.
panY It's statements are probably ac-
curate. 1t will be observed that the
letter docs not say that the company
will pay a dividend this year. Such a
statement would doubtless cause many
deaths from heart failures. The fol.
lowing is what was said about the
Shannon, the stock Of which company
Is now selling at about So a share on
the Boston market: The fiscal year Of
the Shannon Copper Company ended
September 1st. The accounts of the
company are now being made up, and
we believe when completed will show
a most satisfactory year for the COM
pany. During the year great atten-
ton has been given to the develop
ment OF the property, so as to ascer
tain the extent and Limitations OF the
ore bodies. Recent developments on
the Carter level have shown a most
satisfactory development Of rich ore
with depth. Within the past week an
ore body has been cut close to the
boulder tunnel on what is known as
the Murray open-cut, exposing a fine
sulphide Of ore running about 81 per
cent. While this face OF ore has not
yet been opened,i it bids fair to develop
into an exceedingly profitable body.
Shipments from the converter are
steadily being made 70 the mines, and
1t is hoped and expected that the new
converter plant will be ready in De-
cember. This will benefit the com.
pany 10 a dual way. First, in an &C.
tual saving in the cost Of production,
and second, in that it will insure a re-
gularity Of production which is now
uncertain, owing to the frequent de.
lays in conversion Of the copper by the
Arizona copper people. There has been
relatively little advance as yet in the
price of Shannon stock, but this is due,
not to the fact that the property is not
steadily improving, but to the fact
that there has been no speculative oil
manlpulative pool giving it a boost, as
has been the case 10 many other stocks
We believe that this stock is cheaper
to-day than many other stocks selling
at the same or higher prices.
