Phelps, Dodqe Dividend

NEW YORK-The dividend declar-
ed by the Phelps Dodge Co, Inc,
yesterday was 81 share more than
was paid by the company three
months ago, but $150 a share less
than was paid IN the corresponding
quarter a year ago. The total dis
bursements for the year 1914 will
amount to $14 a share as compered
with $3.50 share in 1913, SIS a
share in 1912, ST. share in 1911, 1910
and 1909.
The action of the directors yester
day. was probably based upon the
decided Improvement in the metal
market recently ana the more favor
able outlook for the trade in the
near future. The curtailment in pro-
duction by the leading producing in
terests is now being fully reflected
and as consequence, consumption
is believed to be well in excess of
the refinery output. In this way, the
loss in foreign business resulting
from the European war has more
than been offset.
Domestic consumption has increas-
ed to some extent, especially ON the
part of brass manufacturers. and the
wire makers show a little more ac-
tivitv. In addition. there has been
a good demand for the red metal
from abroad especially from France,
where, it is said. copper is needed
for various purposes.

The Joy Of Making a Mine From :
Prospect

The most joyful job in the money
making pursuits of the world is the
opening up and development of a
real mine. Nature deposits in the
bills treasure vaults Of untold value
in great variety Of mysterious ways.
She sets up a sign to point the way,
and leaves it 20 the cunning of man.
Kind to search out the real source
and the ric3es of the treasure. Some
times it is Misunderstanding work if one
isn't successful but when really
great mine is founl and immense
bodies of silve- and gold bearing
ores are encountered it certainly is
the most satisfying AMI gratifying
business in which men indulge. ana
the profits, for which we are looking,
very often surpass even the dreams
of avarice 1t is a most satisfying
business because when enc digs Il
million dollars worth OF gold or silver
out Of the earth he knows that he
is adding just SO mucn to the worlds
supply of indestructible wealth, and
that mis- profits, though tremendous.
from natures ineXhaustible supply.
1t is gratifying BUSINESS, because
when a man dev elops real mine he
knows he has rendered the world a
very great service apd his own judg-
ment and mining saglcitJ have been
affirmed. The singular is used in
the above statement, and should be
construed 10 mean any man or wo-
man who has to do with the deVel-
ormcnt of il mine

of assumed wisdom and declares
