PASS PARROT DIVIDEND.
Directors of SiIUer and Copper Com
pany Talk of Depression.

The depression in the copper industry the
reason given by the directors of the Parrot Silver
and Copper Company, at their meeting yesterday,
for passing the quarterly dividend of 25 cents
share. The Parrot Company is a subsidiary of the
Amalgamated Copper Company, which recently re-
duced its annual dividend from 10 per cent The
company has $2,29S,500 OF authorized Issue OF
100000 capital stock outstanding. The par value
of the shares is SO. The quarterly dividend dis
bursements amount, therefore. to about S7.50o
The directors gave out the following statement
explaining their action in passing the dividend:
Owing to the cqrtament IN production which has as
fact that the ores treated are of lower grade than
declaration of a dividend at this time.
Advantage Of the decrease In output has been
taken In TAR the working of the main shaft Is
concerned and the shaft has. during this Curtail-
oS 6eow q tne se M to tRs point
Will be cut and a crosscut driven for the vein
II VIII be the policy of the company now, as In
the past. 10 maintain the development work TO the
this Hoc VIII ae5 pIaas the Prrot o property on
Its former producing basis.
The last time the Parrot Silver and Copper Com
pauy passed IT'S dividend In 1903. Payment
resumed IN 1904 and has continued since
The action Of the directors IN passing the dividend
yesterday. although not in Itself regarded i'm
portant. had a depressing effect on metal shares
generally, as II was taken an Indication of
similar action in the future 10y copper properties
as a class. Amalgamated Copper dropped 3 points
a.
loss for the day Of 2H points. Anaconda fell >
points to 81 and closed ut Sl4 n net loss OF IA
points
When the heavy buying Of copper metal for eX-
port began last month the producers were inclined
take optimistic view of the situation and the
belief was generally expressed by them that the
long deadlock in tie copper market had been
broken. About Sl5,O00000 worth OF copper
bought for export to Europe and tho 10000 oo0O
pounds OF the metal which had been accumulated
by the large selling agencies reduced almost
two thirds. The price OF the hctaI, meanwhile.
rose from y TO J. cents.
The domestic consumers did not come into tho
market 10 any extent, however. and now that the
foreign buying has practically ceased the market
IS again stagnant. The consumption of copper by
the electrical companies has fallen from Si to 20
per cent under what il a year ago. and the
difficulty Of financing corporate loans. owing
TO tho money stringency will probably keep the
demand for wire from the trolley companies down
TO the minimum for long time to come
For these reasons, close observers OF tho stua-
ton said yesterday there would probably be a
material decline in prices from their present level
The decline has already set IN on the Metal EX-
change. where quotations have dropped three quar-
ters of Il cent pound all grades OF copper

RAILROAD LEGISLATION IS WANTED
The Nevada Publicity Committee Will Endeavor to Secure
Better Fare and Freight Rates.

The State of Nevada has the right to
regulate railroad traffic and rates within
its boundaries, the remedy is within our
own hands through our legislative bod
les. Shall we permit railroad influence
to rob us of it?
The legislators are created by the peo-
pie, and are at the service of the people,
they WILL do our bidding if instructed.
There can be no retaliation on the part
of the railroad, especially as we are only
asking for our rights in equity; within
our own borders we exercise the power,
without the State confines the Interstate
Commerce Commission dispenses justice.
At this session of the Legislature a
test of strength between the people of a
sovereign State and railroad will take
place, the Legislators acting as referees -
bear that in mind and never forget that
it is up to them to render great service
to Nevada, and to you personally, by re-
ducing the cost of necessities, if you are
not shipper, and if you are shipper,
by helping you to save money instead of
giving it up to the railroad for stock
kiting purposes
Every newspaper in the State has a Pc
ton on file, and every man in Nevada
is asked to call and put his name to it.
At the present time there is nothing
more important for the State than rate
regulation : it is the foundation of per-
manent prosperity, which will be felt by
everybody, whether or not directly con-
cerned.
And, remember, it is test of strength
between the people of Nevada and the
railroad, our personal and civic pride
will not permit us to be bested or to toll
crate the shame of being controlled by
the railroad.
Sign the petition today.

VALUE OF AMERICAN COPPER EVEN THE STORK SHUDDEREO

A fellow swore mighty oath to me
yesterday that he recently overheard this
conversation on Prospect avenue. A
small boy and girl were sitting on the
front steps of an apartment building,
when woman opened the door and
called to them:
Come in, children. What do you
think-the stork has brought you new
baby brother!''
But the boy looked incredulous.
"G'wan!'' he said II been sittin' out
here all the mornin', and I'd seen him
comm in the door,
You would not, silly!" exclaimed
the little girl. Don't you know that the
rule of this house says all goods must be
delivered at the rear.?"

AS recently as 1888, says the Copper
Handbook, the 1906 edition of which has
just been issued by Horace ]. Stevens,
of Houghton, Michigan, the value of
copper produced by the mines in the
United States was only $33, 1873, 954, and
for 1904, only two years ago, was but
sos, 629, 845, the year 1904 being the
second in the history of the country in
which the value of the copper output ex-
ceeded one hundred million dollars, yet,
at the present moment, the copper mines
of the United States are producing cop
per to the value of $500, OOO, 900 yearly,
and the Lake Superior copper mines
alone are making copper worth $50, 900
for every day in the year, or at the rate
of more than a million dollars weekly.
So great has been the growth of the in
dustry, and so rapid the increase in the
price of the metal, that the production
of three counties of the single State of
Michigan is as great in value as the en-
tire copper production of the United
States as recently as 1897-only nine
years ago-and double the value of the
entire copper output of the United States
in year as comparatively recent as 1889.
Figuring copper at an average price,
throughout the globe, at 20H cents per
pound, which is trife below the aver
age quotations, the mines of the world
are making copper at the rate of exactly
a million dollars day, for every day in
the year, including Sundays and holi-
days.
Compared with copper, the value of
the gold and silver production of the
United States Is as a minor fraction,
great as is the output of the precious
metals, and rapid as has been the in
crease in production of the money metals
by the mines of America, Another fact
of deep interest is found in the surpris-
ingly large percentage of the gold and
silver output of the country that comes,
as by-product, from the copper mines.
The vast and rapidly increasing value of
the copper output of the United States,
which makes more than half of the cop
per produced in the world, is most
significant development.
