London. December 3.--The protocol

ming 10y the Turkish and bulgarian
delegates. the latter representing also
se-vis and Montenegro. Prior 10 this
there had been long sitting Of the

slider fresh proposals submitted by the
allies.
Apparently the Greek delegate did
not sign the protocol. Al present
nothing is dehniteiy known on this
point nor Of the terms ~ the arms
tice as revised to-day.
The refusal Of Greece TO sign the
arnisttce is susceptible Of different
INTERPRETATIONS. In the first place. as
a tacit armistice has been in existence
for more than a week already, II IS
not impossible that the negotiations
ma have served 10 bring about an
agreement on the general principles
os peace terms. such as would prom
ise the SPEEDY arrangement of petc"
treaty when the conference meets. IS
is now expected. in London In this
case the fact that Greece is stan1-
ire oyt from the armistice protocol
would not be OF great importance.
In the second place. the Creek al
stentfon NAV mean seTious split
among the allies. arising from jealousy
concerning the possession Of salonik'
and the insistence OF the Greeks on
thu capltvlation OF Adriarople, Sou
tart and Jsnina.
Points in situation.
Other noints which may influence
the situation are 10 be found in the
fact that Turkey recently sought to
conclude a separate treaty OF peace
with Greece: that Bulgaria apparent

Utah Copper.


The production Of the Utah Copper
is now on a basis of about 10000, 900
pounds of copper per annum and ii is
believed that the accounts for the year
will show cost of less than cents
per pound. The recent advance in the
price of the mteal has therefore added
at the rate of about $2,20O.O0O per an
mum to the earnings of the company.
there are also the increased earnings Of
the Nevada Consolidated to be taken
into account which would add another
100000 making a total of $500, 600
added To the earnings as a result of the
2-cent advance in metal prices main
tanned throughout the year. This is at
the rate of nearly 81 per share per an
mum and, as it is claimed that divi-
dends can be earned on 12-cent copper,
it is fair TO assume that the company
is now earning at the rate of about SO
per share per annum.
There has been some talk of an adj

Shannon.

The production of the Shannon dur
ing the calendar year 1912 was about
100000 lbs. of copper and the cur
rent production is at the same rate.
The management has recently COM
menced using some of the ore from
below the old ore tunnel level and this
may bring the production up To some
what higher figures. There was moth
ing TO be gained by forcing the pro-
duction at the Shannon during the pc
riod, when metal prices were around II
cents per pound. for the stockholders
will be far better off by conserving
their assets until such time as they
can be disposed of at fair price. Now
that copper is selling for well over IA
cents the situation is changed and
il is very likely that production may
be gradually increased.
The ore from the lower level is richer
than above and for that reason there
should be an increase in the pounds
of copper per ton which would tend to
reduce costs. Taking Shannon's cost
at last years figure of liz cents and
with copper at II cents, there is a
profit of 2l5 cents per pound, which on
a production OF 100000 pounds is
equal to $i.25 per share The best
opinion regarding the metal market is
that copper will average well over IA
cents for the year and on that basis
the outlook for Shannon is better than
1t has ever been. The company retired
the last OF the old per cent bonds
last year and with the treasury in easy
condition Shannon should be on a divi-
dcnd basis before the end of the year
