APRIL FIGURE EXPLAINED

The Wall Street Journal says that
there is general feeling Of satisfaction
In the copper trade over tho April sta
tIstical showing, Technically there was
decrease OF about 2.7Oo0 900 pounds in
stocks here, but there was about 5,000.-
600 pounds OF copper for export held up
at Baltimore because of the stcvedores'
strike, otherwise the month wol4ld have
shown n decrease about as large as the
Increase. This Baltimore copper will go
TO swell next months export figures of
the Producers. That copper consumption
continues to take care of output, in the
face Of an advance Of about cents a
pound In the metals price in the last six
months, Is the reason for the satisfied
feeling of the copper producers. and as
long as that condition prevails there will
be no reason for a reduction in the price
OF copper,
Taking into consideration The showing
OF foreign stocks, the worlds visible

DRAGON WORK WILL
Be VERY INTERESTING
Iron Blossom Operations At

the Dragon Resources.

Engineer J.. Il Ritter returned Friday
morning from Tintic after inspecting the
Dragon Consolidated property and lining
up the new development campaign In the
southern portion OF this big group. Sew
eral months aSo Mr.. Ritter in an inter-
view In these columns explained the
Dragon Consolidated situation In very
thorough manner, pointing out that the
work then done above the 500 level
through the No, ! Iron Blossom shaft
had demonstrated beyond question that
the Dragon had the famous ore chan
mel.
This work of developing ore has been
continued diligently since. and the ore
now being shipped is a splendid grade.
while Il is extensive as well. Mr. Ritter
at the time called attention TO the fact
that throughout the Colorado, Sioux and
Iron Blossom properties the ore body
had maintained horizontal position
without deviation. demonstrating what
all the Dragon operations had been con-
Quoted at too great depth TO catch
this ore
Following the acquisition of this happy
index 10 Dragon conditions, the manage

by w. Lester Mangum. Briefly. this
work consists OF a crosscut Into the hill

Where the Money Went.

The minutes also showed that 225, 900
shares of stock was transferred TO Hart
at the meeting, for the reason il ap-
peared he had succeeded In making a
smelling contract for the Stewart at 81
cents ton less than the company had
been paying.
The company's monthly revenue is
placed at from $40 900 to S55, 900 By Car
ter, who says that ore of a value OF
S9o0,000 has been produced during the
last Two years and that all OF this
money has been taken by Heinze TO the
company's New York office and that he
has refused to account for II.
The complaint also charges that in the
last sixty days Henze has had all the
ore bodies In the mine measured and
valued by an expert engineer for the eX-
press purpose of mortgagIng il for his
own personal use and benefit, with the
alleged fraudulent Intention OF depriVlDG
the shareholders Of their interest. The
course OF Heinze's dealing is to prevent
the shareholders from securing dividends
and to create a condition in the stock
market by which the shareholders will
be compelled to sacrifice their holdings
and thus enable Heinze again to secure
control OF the stock for a fraction of its
true value, according to the complaint
The petition adds that IL EeinZe's present

solvent
Though Carter has been a director Of
the company since 1906, he says he has
never received notlce OF any meeting
nor has he ever been present at any
meeting. He says Heinze has drawn a
salary OF $4,000 year, while Secretary
Bacon drew $4,000 year and that other
officers also have received salaries much
beyond the value of the services rem
dered
After being advised Of the purported
action OF July 20. and the stock trans
fer to Hart. Carter says he requested

Search for Records.

Carter went 10 New York April s. 1917,
TO examine the records of the alleged
meeting, but was then informed by
Hcnze that the records were at the com
panys office I'm Butte. Mont. He went
to Butte on April 26 and requested Sec
rotary Bacon TO permit him to inspect
the books, particularly the records of the
meeting of July 20. These records Bacon
insisted, were in New York. Later the
same day Carter was advised that the
records had been found, On inspection
IL developed that there was no record OF
the meeting of July 20, but later Bacon
produced from his files n purportcd copy
OF the minutes Of the meeting.
They recorded n letter dated April L.
1911. from Heinae to Hart. wherein on
behalf Of the corporation. Icnze granted
to Hart an option on 225,00O shares OF
the treasury stock OF the Stewart COM
pany, delivered to Hart upon compliance

Stocks of Copper.

The above figures on foreign stocks do
not Include 20,272.000 pounds OF copper
afloat from Chill and Australia on May !.
nor 22.S6$.S00 pounds, the estimated
stocks at Rotterdam and Hamburg, max
Ing q total OF approximately 10000
pounds. The afloat copper however can
not be counted in as stock, as it is i'm
possible TO say how much of it Is destined
for consumers and how much for ware
house delivery. 1t will be seen from the
above that April breaks the string of
United States surplus copper decreases,
but that the worlds total visible cop
per has fallen off each month continu
ously since October / 1911.
In the following table, which gives the
per diem rate OF production, domestic
and export deliveries for the last twelve
months, II appears that the general ten
dency OF both output and domestic de-
liveries over the last six months has been
to increase. while foreign deliveries tend
to decrease. The heavy exports In No

responsible for tho large falling off Ia
those months. The table appears here

Fraud Is Alleged.

Carter aserts that the transfer Of these
10000 shares was fraud because no
consideration was paid, the contract for
a lower smelling rate having been made
by Helnze without any assistance from
Hart; the tunnel having been built and
paid for by the Stewart company: the
notes In the bank at Butte being personal
obligations OF White and Ueinze, and the
company never having received any ben
eft from them. and being in no way re-
sponsible FOR them; the mill having been
leased by Secretary Bacon without as
slstance from Hart
The option 10 Hart by Heinze IS de-
clared illegal as il was unauthorized and
was for the express purpose OF defraud-
Ing the shareholders and dissipating and
wasting the company's property, and that
the subsequent transfer was subterfuge
TO enable Heinze TO secure control Of the
c25, 900 shares OF treasury stock
Carter petitions that the receiver cause

STEWART SUIT HAS

Carter Gives Reasons Why
Receiver Is Asked for
This Company.

There Is a considerable local interest
In tho Stewart Mining company. and the
suit or Edward j. Carter against F. Au-
gustus Heinze asking that receiver he
appointed for the organization naturally
has aroused great deal OF local COM
ment and concern. The following state
ment OF the action has been received
from Spokane.
Tile complaint rccites that special
meeting Of the directors was attempted

20, 1911. OF which 10 notice was received
by Carter, who Was In New York at
the time and convcrsod on July 10 with

however failed to notify him OF the
meeting TO prevent his being present
to oppose the alleged fraud upon the
stockholders, which IL is said was the
intention TO peTpctratc.
II is alleged that Heinze, Bacon and
Clifford attempted to enter into a pur-
ported agreement with Hart for the
transfer 10 him OF 225, 900 shares OF the
treasury stock OF tho company without
any consideration therefor at that meet
