TO FIGHT SHELTERS Co.
Minority Stock Calls Meeting to
Discuss Old Contract.

stockholders of the Federal Mining and
Smelling Company, in a circular. are re-
quested by Percy F. Hogan. Charles w
Wilhelm and Sidney Norman. represent
ing minority interests, 10 attend meet
ing in the Singer Building on Tuesday
next, at 40 p. m, to consider the al
legged unfavorable contract existing be-
tween thar company and the American
Smelling and Refining Company. II is
stated that the minority stockholders of
the Federal company are facing a serious
condition, that may lead to q total loss
of their investment unless something is
done along lines suggested in letter to
the directors OF the company, which was
published a few days ago.
Replying TO the charges of the minority
stockholders. interests of the American
Smelling and Refining Company yester-
day said that the threatened suit would
not be successful. because when the con-
tract was executed, in October, 1905. 1t
was adjudged by the representatives Of
both companies TO be equitable.
In the letter to the directors of the
Federal Mining and Smelling Company,
signed by q. J. and S y. Carr. attorneys
for the minority interests, il is asserted
that the Federal company has been sell
ing lis entire product to the Smelling
company on a basis which is yielding sew
eral hundred thousand dollars year less
than If the Federal company were sslling
its product on a fair basis, or on the basis
that the Smelling company has been pay
ing other mines in the same district, thus
, causing a loss in earning power and
consequent decline In the value of the
stock.
The Guggenheims, who control the two
companies claim, however, that they
have been the heaviest losers in the de-
cline in Federal stock. The American
Shelters Securities Company owns 2s,12
shares of Federal common, which. to-
gether with other holdings by the Gug-
genheims give them a majority OF the
$4,000 common shares outstanding. IL IS
impossible 10 say what the loss on this
stock totals. as the average purchase
price is not given, but 1000 shares were
purchased from the Standard OIL Com
panv several years ago at $40 snare,
which alone shows loss OF about Sl,p1-
go. on the basis OF Federal common
last sale price of si7 share. Neither me
American Smelling nor the Securities
company. however. owns any OF the pre-
ferred stock of the Federal company.

CURB ECHOES.

Hill Consolidated Mines, reports that in

Monogram tunnel fissure. streaked with
copper stained rock, carrying high grade
silver values, was encountered. During
December Lion Hill Consolidated shipped
100 tons of ore TO the American Smelling
Works. at Murray, Utah. The manage
ment is now awaiting settlement on the
second shipment.
The largest stockholders in the FL Paso
Company, il is said, consider ii most de-
slrable that a conservative policy be
maintained for the presenter accumulat-
ing a large cash balance-thereby in
creasing the financial strength OF the
company, which will be of especial ad
vantage in the final negotiations for
other properties whose cash balances are
large that it is contemplated acquiring
in the near future. After this policy has
performed it's obvious purpose the COM
pany probably will be in position TO pay
at regular monthly or quarterly periods
attractive dividends during this and fut-
ure years, fully justifying much higher
valuation for the stock than is now pre-
vailng.

AS for the immediate future of the
market it would appear, as above stated,
that many of the adverse features have
been about discounted A fair recovery
and more cheerful market tone are,
therefore, fully warranted, in the absence
of any further disturbing developments.
The money market will, Of course, be af-
fected by gold exports If these become
excessive Something will depend upon
