The popular explanation of late foi

has been: Calumet q Hccla is buy

when Lee Higginson or Jackson and
Curtis banking houses, which have in
the past done business for Calumet &

of copper stocks. Calumet d Hecla
buying has been at times advanced to
account for the rise in Lake Copper
When the Osceola, Centennial, Allouez
or Isle Royalc advanced anywhere from
3 to points. it must be, OF course, ow-
ing to the desire on the part of Calu-
met & Hecla to Increase its already
very large ownership in these proper
ties. We can state, however, that
the Calumet Il Hecla is not
buying into any Of the above mentioned
companies. Its ownership i'm the Bge-
low stocks is substantially the same as
when the big block of stock was taken
