NJ CHANGE IN MERGER
 PLANS

Boston-The statement that a mod lGcatlon of the Calumet Hecia con solidation plan is being officially considered is without foundation The terms announced are the re- suit of many months deliberation. and while great care has been taken to protect the interests of every one, the Calumet & Hecla people to ascertain if better terms cannot be secured. It is only fair however, to state in this connection that should the Isle Royale stockholders de cline to join in any consolidation plan. their refusal would in no re- spect disrupt the merger
 No intentional discrimination has been made against Isle Royale in the appraisal of property values, and while the Calumet & Hccla people are naturally desirous that Isle Royal shall be included, it is, as a matter of fact, the least important link in the consolidation chain. It would not be a grievous disappaioint- ment to Calumet interests if the Isle Royale shareholders, as they now threaten, should refuse their as sent to the merger. In the Isle Royale opposition the Bigelow peorse are cooperating
 With regard to the other Calumet & Hecla subsidiaries. the consent of each and every company is essen tial if the proposed economies are to be brought about In the econ omy scheme which has been devised. the properties are in a way. inter- dependent Physical valuations. pro pective economies and questions of mineral possibilities have all been carefully worked out. but in the final roundup the participation Of each property is yitaIy essential. The terms which have been agreed to by tas directors Of ecch company have been based upon the asquiesccrca of subsidiary organized under Michi. gan laws.
 Up to the present time suBris- ingly few stockholders, other than brokers, have taken the trouble to call at the Calumet & HecIa oHces Go impure concerning auys feature Of the plan which was not clearly understood. Maps. assays. mil re- turns, costs and in fact every cs- sential item of information ms only to be asked for if any stock holder is desirious of further infor- nation.
 We understand that last week a number of dissatisfied Lake Superior stockholders Of Osceola called uDor General Manager BfacNaughton ali Calumet, Mich. After a conference lasting an hour or two. during which Mr. MacNaughton clearly outlined the desrability of the merger. the Osceola stockholders in question were convinced that under all the circumstances they were being fairly treated.
 Bids for new Calumet Hecla stocl, '.when, as and if issued" of 220 which were made Saturday by sey- eral brokers, is the highest quota ton yet made for the new stock Present Calumet Hecla, at 520 is selling at an equivalent of ZIG for the new shares.
