The cutting of the dividend by North
Butte from a 81 yearly basis to a 81
rate occasioned no surprise on the
street as the price of the stock during
the past few weeks had apparently
discounted even the passing of the
dividend. No official announcement
explaining the reason for the neces-
sity of reducing the dividend was
forthcoming and except for vague ru-
mors and conjectures the stockhold-
ers are as much in the dark as ever
regarding the real cause for the
change i'm the dividend.

Owing to the strike of the interna-

Boston.-The promised activity and
strength developed today and the whole
list was buoyant under the leadership
of Amalgamated. steel and Union Pa
ciic. The local market responded in
a small degree but stocks were scarce
and traders were not inclined to bid up
very far until they were assured Of a
continuance of the better feeling in
New York. The reduction of ESQ tons
in the visible supply abroad was a
factor of greatest Importance and
shows the condition of copper i'm Eng
land has begun to increase in proper
ton with the situation of copper and
that from now on we may expect a
gradual reduction in surplus both here
and abroad and an early improvement
in price. The talk on Amalgamated
is very bullish and if present plans for
the consolidation of Butte mines are
carried out i'm the near future IL should
sell close to 100. The copper producers
report for the United States will be is
sued a week from tomorrow and If pre-
dictions of a decrease of 25,000,00O lbs.
come true an immediate advance in

Copper shares were quite buoyant
today and sentiment was decidedly in
favor of higher prices. Amalgamated
took the lead i'm the eastern market
and crossed $50 easily. The buying
was attributed To the decided improve
ment in the metal situation. which

derway before another week passes
and promises to continue regularly af-

though it would sell higher. The New

MIAMI AND DISTRICT.

Apparently only a few appreciate
that the Miami is building a 9,00O-tor
mill. instead of a 1000 ton mill as or
ignally planned. The change means
that instead of producing $4,000, 00(
pounds of copper year, Miami should
produce 100000 and earn $3.50 a
share on a 1874 -cent. metal market
Probably this change in plans is due
to the ore developments of the last
few months.
There has been no official report on
this point since Mr. Channing's first
estimate, now more than a year ago,
of 13500,000 tons, but we have got the
impression from other sources that the
reserves, if measured today, would
total nearer 2O,OOO,0OO.
1t will be recalled that the original
Miami ore body was i'm the shape of "A
cone. which-on the lowest level, COW
cred an area of 16 acres. There were
quite a few at that time who express
ed the opinion that the area of COM
mercial ore would be limited to about
this acreage. Since that time, how
ever, commercial ore has been en-
countered by underground workings
and churn drills at widely separated
points, forming a complete semi-circle
around the Miami property on the
north. west and south.
Beginning at the north, the Warrior
Development company has recently
found some low-grade ore by churn
drill: to the west. the Miami, by churn
drills on its own property, have in
dcated the extension of ore in that d.
rection, and the Inspiration, still fur
Their west, have indications of a. very
large body of quite high grade ore.
Further to the southwest is the
keystone, which has made no public
report on this point, hut presumably
has some commercial ore, as il lies be-
tween the Inspiration and the Live
Oak; the latter has some of the best
showings i'm the camp.
Directly south of the Miami the Cor
dova is also reported as cutting COM
mercial ore with churn drill.
Roughly speaking, these develop
ments cover a territory half a mile
north and south, and mile east and
west. with a tongue of the ore body
extending a half a mile further south
west into the Live Oak group.
There are indications here of tom
nages that will place the Miami camp
in the very front rank of disseminated
deposits.-Hayden, Stone and Co.

All seem to see the desirability of it. to real ize that they will get the greatest benefit and that there is no reason for the existence of the unsightly
 Those who are to compete for the prizes should remember the primary necessity of sending in a photograph of the premises before the work of cleaning up and improvement shall start. It is with those photographs that the final comparison win be made. No matter how a yard may look now there Is the chance of win ming one of the three prizes. Indeed the worse the present condition the better that chance And the im- movements made need not be only temporary. IT the time or the money is available summer houses and ar bors may be built.
