OUTLOOK Is GOOD
FOR THE NEW YEAR
American Smelling and Re
filming Company's Prop
critics All BUSY.

Boston, Mass, Jan. "a director Of
the American Smelling & Refining SAYS
that, barring . unforeseen difficulties
the outlook for 1912 at the various
plants is good. In Mexico in partfcu-
lar the physical condition of the COM
pany's mines is better at the present
time than for years past, and it may
be said that the outlook for increased
custom business is also bright

tehuala and Chiauhhua, are now in OPP
Grafton, also the big FL Paso plant at
the Mexican border During the pcliti-
cal troubles in Mexico some months
ago, 1t was feared that an increase in
wages would be necessary both at the
mines and smelters. This was not the
case, however, and the labor situation
is again normal with the men working
for their usual wages and apparently
satisfied.
During 1911 the American Smelling &
Refining company experienced a good
year considering the great difficulties
under which operations were carried
on in Mexico. The Indications are that
profits viii probably be about the same
as last year. The cOmpany's fiscal year
has been changed from April 80 to De-
cember 81, the next report being for an
eight months period.
