THIS MAY SOLVE
A COMPLICATED
QUESTION

A press dispatch from Campo Seco,
Cal. dated April Is. says that after
several months of extensive expert
ments the Penn Chemical Co has de-
cided to install the thiogen process
for contrilling smelter fumes at its
Campo Seco smelter The expert
mental plant has proven remarkably
effectiveand it seems that the problem
that has so long held back the Cali
forna copper industry has been tri-
umphantly solved.
Sulphur dioxide has been the agen-
cy that so long defied the genius of
metallurgical chemists. and the THO
gen method has demonstrated its abil-
ty to eliminate the noxious fume from
the smoke. At Campo Seco the gases
of two roasters have been subjected
to treatment for several months, and
the farmers, who started the trouble
against the plant. freely admit that
no damage has been caused by the
treated fumes.
In the thiogen process the oxygen
md sulphur composing sulphur .diox
de is divided and the oxygen de-
'troyed by contact with bnrning crude
oil. By the same agency the other ele
nent is vaporized and subsequently
condensed into pure sulphur. By this
means sulphur. hitherto factor prac-
tically compelling the closing of in
Vulnerable smelters. is being converted
INTO valuable article of commerce.
At present sulphur for commerce is
obtained principally from the sulphur
wells of Louisiana, and the natural
deposits in Mexico. Sicily and Japan
Consequently profitable American
market exists for the product Cal
,ium sulphide is employed as an ac-
celebrating reagent in Fastening reac-
ion in treating the sulphur contents.
TIE thiogen process as employed in
Campo Seco experiments is the in
'ention of Prof, S w. Young. of Le-
land Stanford. Jr.. university 1t
marks a new departure in the attempt
o treat the smelter fumes, and the
;uccess thus far attending trials has
,roused great interest throughout the
state. The Penn Chemical Co. oper-
ties the famous high grade copper
mines at Copperopolis and Campo
Seco, the largest producers in Cahfor-
Tia, with the exception of the NAM
| moth Copper Co. at Kenneth. Ii
6re process proves as successful as
trials indicate it will be installed at
the copper smelters on the Shasta cop
Der belt and other western smelters.

THE PROFITS ON
COPPER CROW
BIGGER DAILY

Few shareholders of copper secu
rites are aware OF the vast increase
in the earnings which have occurred
in many companies during the past
six weeks by reason OF the advance
in the metal quotations to 10 cents
per pound. In many instances net
earnings have practically doubled "a
a result of the jump from II cents tC
to 10 cents, due largely to the fact
that costs OF operating have not been
preceptibly added to. while the net
profits have been climbing. OF cours,
some mines, where there is wide
range of values found in the ores
are Frequently compelled to take ad
vantage OF high prices to ship OF

market These companies take ad
vantage of higher prices TO get out

OF course it is generally known
that the profits. which the copper com
panies were making a t the lower

at the same time they were suffering

The statement has not been given pub
lefty. it is generally realized in trade
circles that the advance scored in the
metal itself came not day too soon
to save a number of the old time pro-
lucers from going under.
One has but to glance over the
schedule of what some of the compa-
mics are earning to become positively
convinced that good many shares
are still selling much below the level
which they are entitled to sell at on
the present rate of copper earnings

has enjoyed such a rapid rise on the
Boston market in the past two weeks.
is actually earning Sis per share
as compared to earnings last year of
10 per share. Shannon. which was
earning but a nominal amount per
share last year. is figured. on the pres
ent copper market prices. to be max
ing better than 81 per share. .
In the porphyry group, earnings are
staggering. and, while many OF the
companies are not up to their full
earning power because of the COM
pleted unit the output of which they
are given the benefit of. has not as
yet been reached, but when il actually
is reached it will show that they ought
to improve marketwise considerably.
Miami. for instance. is figured to be
earning 1914 per share: Chino.S450
per share: Ray Consolidated. 81 10 per
share; Nevada Consolidated. $3.50 per
share; Utah Copper. $50 per share,
and Baden. 81 per share. The profits
to be derived by Giroux do not show
up TO such advantage. only showing
ernings of about soc. per share. due
to the fact. OF course. that the limited
output OF the company on the basis OF
1000 tons per day. which they are to
begin to ship on May |. does not do
the property full justice. and really
represents but one-quarter of the ton
mage which il should eventually pro-
duce.
