Grafton on low-gade ore, gets a
ranking of fourth for the half year
with s436,000. Camp Bird is a close
fifth with $393,W0 From the
standpoint of tota dividends paid,
however, there is a considerable
change in ranking, for Homestake
comes into its own al the leader with
$19,410,55O Its nearest competi-
tor is Silver King Coalition Of Utah
with $12,522,385. Bunker Hill &

with $11,135,000. Portland with

lead, of Missouri, is sixth with ST.

Among the metallurgical companies
seven have distributed dividends the
present year totalling $6,695,276,
and, since incorporation, $100,246,-
619. In the lead of course, is the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, at one time termed the ''smel-
ter trust" but since the e%nterance
into the field of the United States
and International companies 1t has
no longer a monopoly of the industry.
The American company does not
seem to have suffered to any great
extent by reason of low metal prices,
for 1t has declared SO far this year
dividends totalling $2,750.000, ST.
100000 of this going to holders of
preferred stock and s1,000,0O0 to
holders of common. During its ex-
istance this company has declared
dividends totaling $52,963,053. OF
this amount holders of preferred
stock received s34.963,053 and hold
ers of common 100000.
In the securities holding class.
mentioned before, Phelps, Dodge &
Co., in it's reorganized state, leads
for the present year with declara-
lions totaling Y4,246, $50. The near
est competitor in this class for the
year is Amalgamated with S1,53S,-
SO. In point of total dividends
paid, however, Amalgamated is in a
class by itself, for of the $100,246,-
GIG paid by these nine securities
holding corporations, 1t has contrib
uted considerably over half, or S62,-
.040,437. Capper Range is second
with S9,9S2,S10, and G~uggenheim
Exploration third with S9,301, 995.
The metal selling business has not
been so profitable during the last six
months as in former periods, for only
one company has made a declaration
this year. The United Metal Selling
paid dividends for the six months to-
falling $500,000, and since in
corporation $10,500,000
1t must be remembered that In all
of the foregoing the dividends men,

ing dividends in 1910. They do not
include reference to the hundreds of

MINING FIELD
IS PROFITABLE
STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE A
TOTAL OF THIRTY-FOUR MIL
LION IN DIVIDENDS DURING
SIX MONTHS JUST PASSED.

That mining, when carried jill In a
conservative, business-like manner,
is a pretty profitable business, must
be admitted by the most skeptical
when, In a half year In which most
unsatisfactory metal market condi-
tions have prevailed, as shown by fig
ures presented by the Mining World
112 American mines and metallur-
gical works are enabled to pay divf-
dends totaling $34,218,102. Since
they were Incorporated, those 112
mines and works have distributed
among the holders of their stock the
normo sun of $631,069,024. On
the combined issued capital of these
companies, $564,267,550, this makes
a return In excess of capitalization
of $66,801,524, or Ill per cent.
Then, too, there are the dividends
declared by mines securities holding
corporations which, in the first half
issued capital of these companies.
which is 314,172.125, has been
paid since incorporation a total of
$109,S66,447, or a return equivalent
to "a per cent.
Then there are hundreds of close
corporations and individuals, from
whom no reports are received, which
go to swell the total.
1t Is found that the coppers are the
most prolific in enriching their share
holders, for 10 of these, all but n
operating in the United States. have
contributed over one-half of the
grand total of 1909, 024, or

combined issued capitalization of

For the six months of the present

BIG THINGS IN
MINING WORLD
COPPER MAGNATES HOLD IN
FORMAL CONFERENCE IN
EUROPE WHICH WILL MEAN
MUCH FOR THAT INDUSTRY.

Big things IL the mining world
are being arranged by a dozen OF
more Americans Who play important
parts in the mining industry of this
country and who have been holding
conferences in Europe within the last
few weeks, according n statements
of some of their close frhnds in this
city, says the New York Commercial.
Just now most of chem are ,ongrega-
ted in London and 1t is said tiat min
ing matters of utmost importance are
under discussion there.
In the first place, 1t Is said that
| when Adolph Lewisohn sails for New
York, which will be within the next
two or three days, plans will have
been projected among the big Ameri
can copper interests to greatly re
lieve the copper metal situation, ant
the way cleared for the resumption
of negotiations here for the rounding
out of the copper merger.
Among the prominent figures il
the copper industry that are said tt
be holding a sort of informal reunion
in London are John ID. Ryan, head oil
the Amalgamated-Cole-Ryan inter
ests; Daniel Guggenheim, head of the
American Smelling and Refining
company and other big Guggenheim
mining enterprises; Adolph Lewis
ohm and Urban H. Broughton of the
United Metal Selling company; w. B
Thompson of the Utah Copper and
Nevada Consolidated companies. and
Samuel Untermyer, who is the chief
legal adviser of many of the big min
ing interests and promoter of mining
mergers.
Messrs. Ryan, Broughton and Lew
isohn are said to have been negotiat-
ing in Europe for several weeks for
the sale of about 100000. 900 pounds
of copper. and 1t Is rumored that the
deal would have been put through be-
fore this had not Mr.. Broughton held
out for a price a small fraction high
er than the European buyers were
willing to pay. The sale of such a
quantity of copper would, 1t is figur-
ed. quickly relieve the metal market
and bring about an improvement in
copper prices. 1t is believed that ar
rangements will be completed before
these men sail for home which will

COPPER SITUATION WILL
SOON UNDERGO CHANGE
OUT OF DISORGANIZED CON-
DITION is SURE TO COME SOME
AGREEMENT THAT WILL GIVE
STABILITY.

MANY of the big copper mines-it
doesn't apply to those of Utah Ne
vad,-are at this time being opera
ted Tor their employees" says George
l.. Walker in the Boston Commercial.
"A number of large vein mines would
have shut down weeks ago, in view
of the low price of the metal, were
1T not that the management are en-
couraged to continue operations in
order to maintain their working or
CARNATIONS.
when a big copper mine shuts
down its miners and other employees
are forced to leave town and seek
work elsewhere; and when the time
for resumption of operations comes,
itr requires a long period, sometimes
one or two years, to bring together
and organize a new working force.
"A few of the producing mines are
now operating at an actual loss, dissi-
pating their ore reserves and, by pro-
ducing a considerable tonnage of cop
per, aggravating their own troubles.
For illustration, IL has been figured
recently that on a 1917 CEN copper
market Tamarack was showing an
average profit of 20 cents per ton of
ore mined and treated. If these fig
ures were reliable, the company must
now be receiving 10 cents or less for
each ton of ore taken from the mine.
Figured on this basis. 1t would re-
quire 100000 tons of rock, yield
ing 22h pounds of copper to the ton,
to equal the value of the eompany's
stock, now selling in the market for
3,000,0 900, without any allowance
for profit, interest, maintenance or
depreciation. 1t is extremely doubt
full If as much as 80, 700, 900 tons of
rock of this grade remains unmined
In the Tamarack property.
"Out of the present disorganized
and depressed condition of the metal
market there is practically sure to
come some kind of an agreement,
merger or combination which will
give the trade stability and increas-
ing profits to producers. IL no
Moses appears, the trouble will cor
rect itself in time. Copper mining
securities are so low and profits SO
small that the development of new
properties is being discouraged. Con-
sumption will continue to increase,
but there will come a time ultimately
when the growth of production will
halt or decline and copper will again
sell at % cents"
