OLD DOMINION IS
 NOW PUMPING WATER SuSpends Copper Mining and Pumps Water For Sale tc
 ConCentratorS

BOSTON. April 6.-Pursuing a pol. icy of keeping it's monthly output of copper around the 5000. 0.000pound mark while copper is under 13 cents. the Old Dominion Co. has laid off about 150 men and has stopped work entirely in the west country. This latter action was a precautionary measure, however, by reason of the increased flow of water due to the unusual spring freshets.
 The Old Dominion is now pumping about 5.000.000 gallons of water per day from it's mines, a record amount, and nearly 100 per cent increase above normal. It is having no diff culty in handling this water, however, and the work was suspended tempo rarily in the west country to obvi- ate any possibility of another under ground flood.
 This water may prove to be a val uable asset fer the Old Dominion Co. in view of the development of large concentrating propositions within a few miles of Globe. Concentrators need water and the most available water in Globe is from the Old Dominion mines. the sale of which should command very considerable income,

PACIF|CS
 5 H OW EARNINGS
The Movement in the Stocks Reflects the Result of
 Operations,

BOSTON. pril 6.-Net earnings of the Hartman Pacifics are quite in sympathy with the movements of the Hartman stocks.
 Union Pacific. in first eight months of this fiscal year. shows a small in crease in it's gross earnings as com pared with last year. while its net earnings s4.3e5.419.
 Southern Pacific up to March 1 increased it's net earnings S4. .365, ,419, or 14 1-2 per cent. Its gross rev enues declined $6,046,764, while it's operating expenses were decreased s10.42 ,000.
 Perhaps the most promising feat ure of the Southern Pacific earnings. aside from the results which have been achieved as regards net earn ings, is the fact that gross receipts fer the month of February show an increase for the first time in more than 15 months.
 In February. while the gross rev enues of Southern Pacific increased by little more than l per cent. the net increase amounted to s5s4,105. or 31 l-2 per cent, this being the largest increase of any month since Novem- Der. 1908.
 The increase of s5.1O5.079 in the net earnings of the Union Pacific is equivalent to 2.61 per cent on Its common stock. while the increase of $4.365.419 in the net earnings of the Southern Pacific is equivalent to 2.2 per cent on that company's common stCck.
 While. fin the case of both the Union Pacific and Southern Pacif c. there is some increase iu lived charges to contend with. on the other hand there is a large increase in the miscellaneous income of the Union Pacific to be figured in. A fair de- duction from the situation is that Union Pacific is earning at the rate of from 19 per cent to 20 per cent | per annum cn It's common stock. while the Southern Pacific Is earn | ing at the rate of 10 per cent per an nun on its common stock.
