copper l,295.297 ounces of silver and
5,S92 ounces OF gold. The combined
net income. after deducting expendi-

amounted TO $1,SlS.472.6l. The aver
age price received for the copper, all
of which was sold in 1911. was 12SS6

The total cost per pound OF refined
copper after deducting precious met
ais and miscellaneous revenues, ana
including all expenditures for con-
atruction and betterments, was 9.s43
cents for mines OF the Cananea Con-
solidsted and S.907 cents for those of
the San Pedro company.
The Greene Cananea on March /
paid a dividend of % cents per share,
distributing $500. .367.75. This was pre-
sumably a semi-annual dividend, and
the next dividend will, it is expected,
be paid Sept. 1, but 1t is believed that
