PAYS DIVIDEND
DELIVERS AT RATE OF FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS
Distribution of One of the Big Five
Group Throws Light on Enor-
nous Production for
Current Year

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Oct. 3.-With the
payment September 30 of the third
quarterly dividend of 215 per cent on
it's capital stock by Phelps, Dodge &
Co., Incorporated at the beginning of
the current calendar year. the cor
poration will have delivered to its
shareholders $3,750,O00, or at the rate
of $5,0O0,000 for the year.
During the first six months Of the
current fiscal and calendar year the
Phelps, Dodge &, Co. produced 66,4OO,-
600 pounds, or at the rate of approx
imately 1873. 100000 pounds for the
year. This throws some light on the
enormous rate of the copper output as
reported by the Copper Producers as
sociation for, Phelps, Dodge & Co. is
the third in the big Five" group or
copper producers of which the ANAL
gamated Copper company is the lead
er, with the Cole-Ryan properties
very close second and the Guggenheim
and Calumet and Hecla interests oe-
cupying fourth and fifth positions, re-
spectively.
1t now seems probable that the price
of copper during the remainder OF the
year will not vary greatly from 10
cents a pound, and on that basis the
gross earnings of the company will pc
approximately 100000, providing, or
course, THAT llO COllSlNlSl dOAC 5NONAA~ ~ -
accumulated.
Combined Surplus
Last year on a production basis OF
115 81 ,304 pounds, after all deductions
including depreciation charges, the
constituent companies of the corpora
ton under review showed combined
surplus available for DIVIDENDS OF 80
490. .OO7. equal to 1898 per cent on the
capitalization.
The average price of electrolytlc
copper in 1908 was 1920 cents a pound,
and for 1909 approximately 1916 cents
a pound to date, so that the surplus
earnings for the current year shoulu
show a surplus of at least S6,OUOoUu'
or u per cent on the capital outstana-
ing. The foregoing estimate takes INTO
consideration the company earnings
from it's many outside sources.
Since January l only 450 shares of
the Phelps Dodge stock have been
dealt with on the New York stock eX-
change with a range of $175 and $235
a share. The stock is closely held, the
James fomily holding absolute control
of the company and the Douglas ram
lily about 10 per cent interest. Inc
last asked price for odd lots OUTSIDE
the market was $3.50 share. AT this
figure the present dividend rate "oulu
Weld an investor 3.S per cent.
While the company is abundantly
able to pay dividends at the current
rate. it is more than likely that thert
will be no increase in dividends uhtl
the copper situation turns decldedlS
for the better, which does not seem
in order for at least the immediate
future.

 DAMAGING
WOMAN COMPANION GIVES STORY OF CRUELTY AND SEVERE
 BEATINas

At the examination of Raymond Nor. gan, charged with an aggravated as- sault upon Ethel Woods, before Judge Hinson Thomas yesterday afternoon, testimony was introduced which may lead to the young negro being held to answer to the grand jury on the charge.
 The Woods girl, with whom Morgan had been living for some time, testified against her paramour. She stated that on the night of Morgan's arrest, that he abused her while they were on their way home and afterwards beat her un- til she was scarcely able to walk for some time.
 Councilman s. II. Van Slyck was witness in the case. He testified that he was awakened by the cries of woman and rushed from his house to assist her. He recognized the woman as being the complaining witness and saw man, who he was unable to iden- tify, run away.
 City officers testified that Morgan has made threats against the girls life, in their presence.
 The case was continued until today, when additional evidence will be heard.
