EXTRA DIVIDEND Of
TONOPAH DECLARED
Forty Cents a Share Will Be
Checked Out During the
Coming Month.

The directors OF the Tonopah Mining
company have declared the regular divi-
dend OF 25 cents a share and an extra
of 10 cents, calling for the payment Of
100000 OH January 21. the books closing
on December 81 When the compa ny
checks out this sum 1t will have passed
the 1000, 00-dlvidend mark, the actual
total being 10.050.000, the company hav-
Ing paid four quarterly dividends In 1912
of equal amount 10 that declared yester-
day.
During the first week Of December the
Tonopah management WAS dropping 80
out of the 100 stamps, handling 1875 tons
of an average value OF $3.50 per ton, the
mill making an average extraction Of 80
per cent. The mill production was
thlrty-siN bars OF bullion estimated to be
worth $4,000. while close to thirty tons
OF concentrates were produced. estimated
TO be worth $4,000, the total gross pro-
duction for the week being worth about
$50. 600.
The company continues earning far in
excess OF the present dividend and eN-
ira dividend requirements, and the com
pany faces the new year with conditions
apparently ideal FOR continued prosperity

COPPER POOL SLATED
FOR INVESTIGATION
Eastern Dispatch Says the In
quisitively Inclined Are
Squirming Over Price.

Press articles in Boston, commencing
with such statements as '"rhe big copper
selling interests. .Amalgamated Omitted
States Metals Selling company. American
Smelling s; Refining company and the
Phelps Dodge people. arc unit III tne
belief that they can force the copper con,
sumers into the market at ia conts,
questionably create sufficient interest
among the inquisitively inclined at WASH
lngton TO wonder II there is copper
pool or trust for the purpose OF controll-
Ing prices.
Wires from New York yesterday were
to the effect that the government was
reported on the verge OF instituuhg an
investigation to ascertain II such d pool
really exists. and while such action is not
feared In the estimation OF western cop
per people IL Will still further increase
the uncertainty surrounding tho copper
market and the copper shares.
1t is considered certain that there is a
good and sufficient reason for copper pro.
ducers retaining their asking price al l73
cents pound, and one other than arpl-
trary agreement On the part OF the big
producers TO squeeze the consumer INTO
paying all possible for his metal All
conditions are against much cheaper COP

FINE YEAR CLOSED
BY THE TENNESSEE

The year 1912 at Tennessee Will be the
greatest In the history OF the company.
Based on the returns compiled for eleven
months of this year and estimating DC
ceInber's production and earnings. the In
dlcations are that the gross profits will
reach 81, 200 600, with tho net OF over a
s1.000,000 or moro than double that OF
1911, say Thompson. To4le & Co.
Two important factors are largely re-
sponsible for the great increase In earn
ings. namely, tho higher price OF copper
which has prevailed throughout the year
and the greater efficiency OF opera ton at
the smeIter and acid plant. which, ac
cordins To the management, has been a
most important feature. Copper produc-
ton for the year will probably be ap-
proXimately the same as that for 1911,
whom 13,s0S,940 pounds were produced and
the cost per pound will differ but little
from last year, or around lQ.SS cents pei
pound. The acid production, however.
is likely to exceed that of 1911 and reach
$4,000 tons, as against approXimat tely
116,000 tons for the previous year.
Tennessee directors Will meet for divi-
dends between now and Christmas, and
while II cannot be definitely stated wha
the amount will be. we are advised by
certain OF the directors that the feeling
Is very strong in favor of paying $3.50
per share.

HERE IS OPT|M|ST
OF THE FIRST WATER
New York Man Says Most of
Our National Woe Is
Purely Mental.

One OF the best posted authorities In
New York city on business conditions, In
summing up the present state OF affairs,
said:
Manufacturers throughout the country
arc busy as are also tho railroads. whose
gross earnings arc big. Merchants are
doing we'll and the farmers are prosper
Gus and exceedingly happy. The house
cleaning which has been going on In the
market has placed US in much better
position.
Regarding the tariff. a reduction will
be u genuine blessing, and IN my mind
will not be a radical cut. The manufac-
turers OF the country can adjust them
selves very quickly TO the new conditions.
for there are only few investors that
really need a. high protective tariff.
"The great business ability OF our
American manufacturers Will surely be
able TO meet all the emergencies and
still stand at the head OF manufacturing,
Regarding the copper situation, We
must simply walt. Europe IS barc OF
supplies and will surely have to buy
heavily as soon as the war is actually
settled Copper selling agencies would
not sell a. pound more OF copper II their
price was II cents, or even l65 cents
Briefly. the copper metel must wait and
be patient until the buying which must
surely come really comes.
MANY OF our troubles are more men
tai than real. 4 man once said that ne
had had all kinds OF trouble In his life
which never happened"
