CHEMUNG COPPER SALE
Stockholders to Meet August 1 5
to Ratify Transfer.

A Pittsburgh dispatch announces the
probable sale OF the Chemupg Copper
Company to Phelps, Dodge & Co. for
1850. 900. The president Of the company
and the largest stockholder, George T.
Tener. has accepted the offer on his own
behalf and that OF the company, subject
to the approval OF tho other stockholders
who will meet at Duluth on August 10 to
act on the matter.
In letter which he is sending the
stockholders, President Tener says that.
as shown in the last annual report, the
entire capital of the company has been
expended. In addition. the company has
spent $4,000 loaned by some OF the prln-
cipal stockholders. After deductng this
10000. together with sundry accounts
payable, President Tener says there would
be left about s1,230. Ooo for the stockhold-
ers. or not less than s. a share. Owing 10
the cost OF keeping the mine unwatered
until the sale is contaminated, he says,
il is impossible TO state exactly the return
per share.
II is stated in the letter that the man
agement had always expected Joint action
with the owners of adjacent properties IN
the development Of the camp, and had
until recently firmly believed that this
could be accomplished, but adds that no
such action can be secured. The manage
ment had the property examined by eX-
perts, with view OF ascertaining
whether the ore bodies developed on the
company's property would justify the
building OF railroad and concentrated
mill OF sufficient capacity TO insure eco
nomlc operation The cOncensus OF opin-
ion was that the ore bodies were not
large enough TO Justify the borrowing Of
the necessary funds or the sale OF addi-
t!onal stock to cover this operation. and
Phelps, Dodge & Co, owners OF the prin-
cipal adjacent property. refusing TO act
with the Chemung Copper Company, as
stated, Mr.. Tener believes the sale Of the
property TO be the best possible plan for
tho company
