is undoubtedly a valuable one. Some 1 splendid deposits of good grade Of
 ore have been located in it. There
 is reason to believe that its ore re- serves will increase from year to year.
 The average yield of ore, which 1t
 shipped to the Calumet & Arizona Smelter last Vaar hnwaVer was nor cent, or 50 pounds of copper to the
 ton. This compared with an average
 or better than per cent for the ores
 of the Calumet & Arizona Company.
 There is a basis for the estimate
 that the copper whichh the Superior
 < Pittsburg Company is now making
 IS costing between 17 and IS cents
 pound. A considerable portion of this cost, however, is made up of the ex-
 pense of extensive exploratory and development work. This item has been much larger in the case of the Superior & Pittsburg than in almost any other mine in the West. Tae az gregate of the underground openings
 In its mines is tremendous. Miles
 upon miles of thte drifts, which have
 been driven in barren ground in the 1 nope Of finding ore, have resulted in no income to the company, present or | prospective.
 This is the "out" about the Supe- | Irior & Pittsburg property. Its ore bodies are isolated, and the signs and indications pointing to their location are so vague, that there must always, I throughout the entire operations of 1 the company, be a relatively large expenditure for underground explota- tory work. This work must be done, l for there is no other way to find the | Ors.
 Its ore bodies are not only farther | apart than those of the Calumet & Ar. ! izona and Copper Queen, but they are 1 also smaller and lower in grade. They | occur in horizontal zone at a depti ! Of 1000 to ] 1900 feet. The greater ] part of the development work in the ] mines has been on the 800, 1000 and | l,lOO-foot leYelso and it has recently | been decided that these workings are not deep enough; so the several shafts | will be sunk deeper, and the long ! winding exploratory drifts and cross
 cuts will be duplicated on still lower | levelc.
 i It is wholly possible, in fact pruO-
 able, that ore in sufficient quantities
 and of good grade will be opened up in the Superior (. Pittsburg's SOO l, acres of mineral ground to make q big and profitable mine; but there is ! a large element of uncertainty or prospect in its future which makes
 the stock entirely a speculation, and
 in no sesne an investment.
 1 The Greene Cananea Company owns i one of the largest deposits of copper
 ore in the world. It has probably [ the largest acreage Of any operating
 copper mining company and, in pro-
 I,OrtiOn to its market valuation, the ! largest amount of cash anl guick as 1 sets It has soms iJ miles of rlndt r. 1 ground openings, more than half If 1 which are in ore Cf commercial grade. 1 It owns one group CT mines, th1ye l unntd over by rCs CIatI, Central, 1 which have in 7I slIt a very great deal 1 f figh-grade ore. ani which are de 1 dared 10 cOn'tt.Ite one Of the ligyrst copper mining prospects in the world. !

At the Copper Queen.

I,ha- -aXtanSinIl t4e the hiz; 5 eIss;e;es-. s;s Queen powerhouse is completed and only two small squares in the south side and the southwest corner of the great building are unoccupied.
 To him who takes interest in the observance of the smooth and cease less motion of mighty engines, the or der, the stateliness, the suggestion of irresistible power, visit to the Cop per Queen powerhouse will be a hap py occasion.
 In one great room, with a roof sey- enty-five feet in height, with not Q partition to obstruct his observation. on a clean cement floor some twenty six latest model engines, working al most as noiselessIy as a Iady's sewing machine, certainly offer an object to delight the eye of him for whom such things have a fascination.
 Overhauling and repair work is go- ing on vigorously at the Copper Queen and every appearance would lead to the conclusion that expansion in the operations of the plant will be the motto very soon. Among these indi- cations, the accumulation of coke, Aux and other supplies Is conspicuous. All bins are filled to overfowing and coke is piled along the tracks on every available open space in the yards. The original stock pile of ore is rapidly resuming the proportions which it as- stunned in the most active period of the Copper Queens history. The deep pits, several hundred feet long, are nearly full again. Temporary tracks are run over them and the ore carried to the appointed spot with model con venience. After the pits are full they will be housed with corrugated iron to protect them from the elements.
 The reverberatory system in the handling of fiue dust Is proving sue cessful. the dust being wet down and when prepared for treatment resembl- ing great pyramids of holders earth. The problem of saving flue dust has been as nearly mastered by the Cop per Queen as any smelting combina- tion in existence.
 The continued improvement at the Copper Queen sampler would not indi- cate that the management considers the handling of custom ores a doubt ful or unsatisfactory business True, the uncertain condition of the copper market has rendered that particular class of ore rather undesirable at present, but as soon as the market settles down to definite point busi- ness will be the same at the sampler. The cleanliness and perfect order al the big sampler reflect credit on those in charge.
 In leaving the sampler and walking across the tracks to Douglas one finds it necessary to cross twenty-seven

It win be seen by the foregoing that at $S per share of the current market price of Superior 6 Pitts burg represents the company's prop erty and its mining equipment, while only about s2.50 to $500 per share of the market price of Greene Cananea stands for the property, the remainder being offset by the large surplus Of actual cash and quick assets the lat ter company has on hand to be used in the construction of a smelter and additional concentrators which will make possible an increase of its an nual production to about 100000, 900 pounds of copper. The Superior & Pittsburg property is selling for more than S12.O00,O00, while the Greene Cananea property has a market val ue of less than S7,0O0,0OO.

(By c. l.. Walker in Boston Conn.,
 Notwithstanding that all good cop pers are selling much too low, and that holders of them had best ob- serve waiting policy until such a time as general business and finan- oial conditions improve and carry prices up to a considerable higher level, 1t must be recognized that some individual stocks have been subject ed to more severe and persistent li- quidation than others, and that few of these are selling very much lower than others which are worth less in trinsically. It is therefore possible to make some hay" even under the few faint rays or sun which from time to time penetrate the awful gloom now enshrouding the stock market. This can be done by selling some good stocks, admittedly for a great deal less than they are worth, and invest ing the proceeds in other stocks which are cheaper by comparison.
 One of the most notable illustra- tions of the situation I have in mind Is to be found in q comparison of Greene Cananea and Superior & Pitts burg. The stocks of these two com panies are held by the same people, and several of tthe directors are iden- tical Yet it is remarkable that while Greene Cananea has for a long time past been one O1 the weakest stocks on the market, Superior & Pittsburg has been astonishingly strong. There has been a demand for almost unIim- ited amounts of the latter stock around S52 to 91s; but meanwhile Greene Cananea has declined as low as 5lk. and has shown. heavy selling pressure every time it has advanced above 6. The relative positions of the two com panies and their stocks, when brought into contrast, appear as follows:

AAtt the IIIUats0u shaft, drifting is progressing very faycrably. At pres ent no sinking is being done at this point. Shipments to the Calumet & Arizona shelter come from the Hoat- son, Junction and Cole shafts The | Superior & Pittsburg is in a position to increase it's production at any time 1 that the directors feel that market conditions warrant this move.
 The new 800 ton furnace of the Cal umet & Arizona smelter stands ready to be blown in on Superior & Pitts burg ores, but there is little likelihood of this being done Tor the present. Superior & Pittsburg is producing at the rate of $50 tons of blister copper per month which is just sufficient to meet all development costs. Consid- ering the condition of the metal mar ket and the prices obtained, the rec ord so far being made is a highly satisfactory one to all those who are familiar with the possibilities of the property. The property is being oper- ated now on an economical basis, and costs have been brought down to a very low point.

 Calumet 6 Arizona.
 During the past week the directors .of the Calumet & Arizona mining company met in the general offices In Duluth and directed the payment of a dividend of s1.50 on each of the shares of the capital stock out-staud. ing. This means a distribution e: S3OO.000, in profits to the shareholder .of this company, bringing the total disbursements of profits up to the enormous figure of s9,300.00O in live years.
 Ii was drought that the dividend would be S2.00 but evidently the df rsctorate considered 1t a wise policJ to retrench during the present slump and voted the lower figure.
 At the mine development is being prosecuted steadily and ore prod,lc. ton is being held up to . fair outplt without any special s7ort. There is absolutely no trouble being exper- fenced from the gas, which is now confined to the area along the divid- ing line.

Reports received from Routt county indicate that large enterprises are on foot there for the development of the mineral resources of the section.

DOUGLAS SHELTERS.

On the east side of the smelter a maze of standard gauge tracks and a little forest of switch targets arouse the curiosity of the visitor. This lit tie system is not quite completed but when 1t is it will vastly increase the capacity of the plant in handling the slag. The disposal of slag and the recovery of fiue dust are among the most difficult and important problems with which the management of every smelting enterprise is faced. Especial .ly is the slag question ,serious one on a comparatively level shelter site. This Is the situation in Douglas of course. The new system runs a sep arate track under every furnace, all of which tracks unite in a main track running out to the dumping site, thus all furnaces can be drawing slag at the same time. This broad feature of preparation Is Very significant as foreshadowing the magnitude of fu- ture operations contemplated by the company. The new system will be handled by electric motors as before, with automatic dump pots of greatly increased capacity.
 As mentioned few days since, the fourth furnace has resumed. It would seem that there Is no intention to again decrease the force the com pany having taken advantage of the recent Hull in business to overhaul its plant, look after repairs and prepare for steady business. The floors are as clean and convenient as those of a factory, and what appeals to the wis itor as much as anything else is the number of clean, intelligent American faces in every department of the work.

 The partition formerly constituting the north end of the old powerhouse building has been torn out, making the
 whole aggregation second only, per haps, to the Copper Queen, the largest and finest powerhouse in the south
 west, and the difference between the
 two is not particularly striking. The new machine and boilershops

Big improvements have recently been made at the Queens lime quarry at Lees station. One formely acquaint- ed with that locality would have to be shown around The improvements which will be completed and in full operation this afternoon, (Saturday), include extensive bins, trackage, trans and huge crusher. run by two Disal engines of several hundred horsepower each. The object of this improvement is to crush the lime to mixing pit with the ore at the smelter. This Is a great improvement over the old method and will greatly facilitate the preparation of charges for the furnaces.
