RESTRICTION OF
 OUTPUT IMPOSSIBLE
Copper Men Who Can Produce Metal at g Gents Oppose
 Plan

BOSTON, March 31.-The president of a 40,000,000 pound copper producer when asked If he contemplated any curtailment of production, replied:
 My company may make copper at a cost of cents per pound, and we have expended an enormous sum of money for the latest machinery and mining apparatus, as well as in crea- ton of many miles of underground openings, in order to put our mine and plant in shape to produce cop per at profit even should the price go to 10 cents per pound.
 'It certainly would be absurd to demand that we shorten our output, md our profits. in order to help out he less favored mine which has only recently appeared on the scene and which cannot make its copper for less than II to 12 cents per pound.
 Tt is to cope successfully with just such emergencies as the pres ent, that we have during the past ten years labored day and night to put our property in shape to make copper more cheaply than can our competi. tors. Now these competitors are cry ing 'curtailment' and ask us to join a scheme which will help them out of a pretty serious predicament. The proposition is absurd.
 Tn a situation like the present il is the survival of the fittest.' The mine which cannot make copper and get out whole on the present selling price must be the first to shut down. When the unprofitably produced met .U s- --f may look for senee improvement in the statistical position of copper"
 Another well informed copper inter est says: Concerted action in re- spect to a restriction of output is ab- solutely impossible; it may be at oEee dismissed from serious considera- tion- The high cost producer must be the first to shut down. This means a disintegration of working forces, and IS, in itself. a very expensive operation, but 1t offers the only logical solution of the present situation. Even in idleness a mines surface plant must must be kept in repair, pump ing must continue and the shafts, drifts and levels must be maintained to prevent caying. and, in addition to this, fixed charges. of course, such as salaries. taxes, etc. are constantly going on.
 If all the Amalgamated mines in Butte should close down-and may add that there is not the slightest possibility of any shut down or any other restriction in the Butte camp t would cost the properties in that district not less than $30O,O00 per month for the upkeep of the open ings and the proper maintenance of plant"

COURSE Of ISLE
 RQYAlE IS UNCERTAIN
Speculative Authorities, How eyer Say that the Property
 Has a Future

Hayden. Stone & Co. say of the Isle Royale properties that so far as actual results are concerned, there is little encouragement to be gained from the 1908 report. Though pro duction increased from 2,667, 900 pounds to over 3.O00.O0O pounds, the cost, both per ton and per pound, also increased, the cost per pound being 1891 cents, excluding construc- tion, and 2S99 cents, including all expenses. Further. the rock yield fell off quite a little though too much stress must not be laid OF this point, las production came from only one point.
 As the result of all this, the com pany lost S451 900 by the years oper- aions and it's balance of assets at the close of the year was under $50000.
 Of course too much importance must not be placed upon the operat ling figures of any proposition that is largely under development, especially .of one that is sinking four shafts and driving two miles of underground workings per annum-
 The report states that Isle Royale is very much nearer the position of Ia remunerative mine than it was .a year ago, and 1t is to be hoped this is so, as the company could not stand many more years like the last
 Isle Royaie has unquestionably large possibilities. both on the Isle Royale and the Baltic lodes, but it rather looks as though the company would run pretty heavily into debt be- fore it's possibilities are in fair way to be realized

MINING, SHELTERS AND STOCK QUOTATIONS

 FOR HARTMAN ID RETIRE

BOSTON, March 31.-Friends and associates of E H. Hartman smile at the reports when received wide circulation Friday that that ind vid- ual is tN form a consulting board D. s.st ng of Messrs. Stubbs, Kruttsch- nit. Herrin and HoCd, vita head quarters 10 New YJtx. They point out that while it n; gat not be a bad idea for "r Harrin.an 10 shift part O. his wor ki otlers, yet it would be unconstitutional for him to do it; 8 constitution isn't constructed that way.
 J. c. Stubbs is a traffic man of A,gh order, and he pretends to nothing more than that. As such he can be centered no farther east than Chi cago, and ha is needed where the rest of the western traffic officials are, namely. in the west.
 Mir Kruttschn.tt, who, as an op- erat ng and engineering man is in a class by himself lives the most of the time in a private car. making big swings from Chicago to New Or lsanee, Mexico.

Kruttschnitt IS operating head of more miles O. railroad than any othel man m the United States. This. of itself, is suf- ficient work for one man. but he is engaged in multitudinous other de partments of ra.road work He is needed in the west no less than Mir. Subbs.
 Mir. Herrin's sphere of influence Is confined to the legal work of the Southern Pacific Company in the west He is at his best in San Fran cisco. Work in New York is alto gether different.
 The fact of the matter is that Mes SITS. Kruttscanitt. Stubbs and the others have been nothing else than consulting men for years past. They 20 ahesd and do their own work, but the most of it is passed upon by the chairman, E. H. Hartman, in New York.

The following Is taken from the weekly letter of Hayden, Stone & Co.,:

 on 15-eent copper ...... .$1, ,150.0O0
 Calumet 6 Hecla should therefore after a few years be able to show earnings of about If per cent on the reported purchase price of $S,000, 900
 The requirement. of mines that are or will shortly be producing consid. erable amounts of copper is in linc with the company's policy of deyel- oping new sources of production wherewith to supplant the Calumet conglomerate, and thus extend the life of that lode as long as possible. It will be recalled that the company already has a controlling interst in Allouez. Centennial and Superior, substatial interest in Osceola, and is making a large producer out of the .OsceOla lode on it's own property. AlIouez and Centennial should, to- gether, ultimately produce 15,00O, 900 pounds of copper, of which Calumet & Hecla's share would be 1000, 900: Superior should produce i0.00O,000, of which 5000. 900 would belong to Cal
 
 of the Osceola output is also about 100000 pounds annually. In the last fiscal year the Osceola lode on Cal umet 6 Hecla's property produced nearly 100000 pounds from devel- opment work alone, and ultimately this lode should be made to yield 25.- 100000 to 30,000,000 pounds of copper annually.
 Assembling these factors. we arrive at the following tabulation:
 Proportion of output from new pur- chases, 23.CO0,000 pounds.
 Proportion of output from Allouez and Centennial, 100000 pounds.
 Proportion of output from Super for. 5.000,000 pounds.
 Proportion of output from Osceola. 100000 pounds.
 Osceola lode on c. & H. property. 27,000.000 pounds.
 Total. 69,0OO,000.
 This leaves but 21,000.OO0 pounds year to be supplied by the Calumet & Hecla conglomerate. assuming that it is the policy of the manage ment merely to maintain it's present rate of output, and save as much as possible its conglomerate lode. This is only about oDe-quarter of the amount that this Iode has hitherto annually furnished. In the recent litigation 1t was testified that if the Calumet & Hecla coaglomerate lode were to be mined at the same rate that it has hitherto been mined, it would last twelve years By the de. velopTBent of these new sources of production, the company will be able to reduce requirements from the con glomerate lode to nearly one-quarter of what they have hitherto been, so that by this policy they seem to have assured themselves of reserves for the next forty-fve or fifty years.
 This is without taking into con sideration such possible factors as the Kearsage lode on the Calumet & Hecla property; the La Sale; the Cliff mine of the Tamarack, and the holdings in the extreme eastern end of the Keveenaw peninsula.
 Something certainly had to be done, if Calumet & Hecia were to maintain it's position indefinitely, and while rather high price may have been paid for its new holdings. the com pany has undeniably met the problem in courageous and far-sighted man. ner.
