Copper investors will doubtless be astonished to learn that the worlds lowest cost copper producer is located in Alaska They will be surprised also to know that it is now shipping at the rate of 6O,OOO,OOO pounds of copper per annum, made at a cost not far from cents per pound.
 The general public would probably recognize the proposition as the fam ous Bonanza mine, in which, with the railroad connection thereto, J. P. Nor gan & Co and the Messrs. Guggen- helm have invested many millions, but today the Kennecott Copper Corpora ton embraces not only the Bonanza, but the Jumbo mine, a property equally rich and equally important as a copper producer, together with an S5 per cent. interest in the Beatson Copper Company, a 10000, ,OOO.pound producer
 The recent purchase by J. P. Nor gan & Co. of $1O,OOO,OOO 6 per cent TO- year bonds of the Kennecott Company make timely a presentation of what the company owns, what it has achieved to date, and what are it's prospects for the future.

Alaska Railroad Buildina

The confidence of the syndicate in it's ultimate value is best seen in their willingness to invest $22,OOO,OOO in the construction of 196 miles of railroad in order to reach the Bonanza mine. The railroad runs from Cordova to Kennecott and it's construction was accomplished only after surmounting great difficulties. Two steel bridges alone cost the syndicate no less than $2,0OO,00O. While the railroad was being constructed the property was being developed, but the necessary ma. chinery had to be hauled in over the

Production Cost per

The average cost of producing this copper was under "A cents per pound-to be exaact, 4.72 cents. The average selling price was between 14. cents and 15 cents. The falling off in production in 1913 was due to the shutting down of mining operations on account of the destruction of the tramway by fire, while the relatively small production in 1914 was due to the curtailment by the European war.
 The ore in the Bonanza and Jumbo properties occurs in limestone, in ir- regular deposits, in places running as high as 72 per cent. copper and aver aging in excess of F per cent. copper In mines of this character and rich ness, it is not possible to estimate ore reserves with eXactncss, but the for nation in which this deposit occurs is such that the company sees no req son why values will not continue to very much greater depth. At pres ent the mine is opened to a depth of 600 feet.

Discovered by Stephen Birch


 The property is to all intents and purposes the discovery of Stephen Birch. At all events, it was Mir. Birch who acquired it in 1901 from the orig. inal discoyerers and started in to de- velop it under most adverse condi- tions. In 1906 the Alaska Syndicate, composed of J. F. Morgan & Co. and NJ. Guggenheim Sons, took over the property. It is generally understood that Kuhn, Loeb x Co participated in the Guggenheim interest. At that time it was still a prospect, but an unusually attractive one.

amended March 13, 1913, was amend
ed by the late legislature on March
g. On March 22 the legislature re-
pealed the original section 1913 but
did not even refer TO its own amend
ing enactment of twelve days ear.
lier They simply repealed Section
123.
A nice question of statutory con.
struction arises. Did the March 22nd
act repeal the old section 123 or
did it repeal It, as amended by the
March Sth enactment? The common
and obvious thing to have done was
to specify that section 1913 as amend.
