50 MORA REVOLT
COSTS MINE A
MILLION
Greene-cananea Report Losses Heavi-
iy on Account of Its Idle Plant.

DOUGLAS. Arizona, June s.
Through the six months idleness in
the first half of the year 1914, when
the Greene-Cananea Copper Company
was ready for operation
have lost $1,44O,OO0 in probable net
profits. This figure is based on a
probable production of 100000, 900
pounds of red metal per month at a
cost of around IL cents to 10
cents per pound and an average price
of between Is IL and 16 cents for
the first six months of 1915.
These earnings amount to just So
per share for the six months. With
the properties in operation and reg
istering earnings at this rate Greene
Cananea stock would havt command
ed a price of better than $50 per
share, s.o- -au
Report for 1914
The annual report for 1914 has
just been issued and shows a net
income OF $63S.955, or nearly $780,
900 short of dividend disburse-
ments which amounted to $972,645
during the year. The production dur
ing the last six months in which
operations were possible amounted
to 21,85S,92 pounds of fine copper.
907 ,311 ounces Of silver and 6,055
ounces of gold The average price
received for copper was 1884 cents.
The entire output has been sold. The
total cost per pound OF refined cop
per, after deducting values Of prev
ious metals and miscellaneous rev.
enue, was 1919 cents per pound.
This cost includes depreciation
charges, shut-downs and other ex-
penses of the year indicating that the
normal operating cost was probably
well under 10 cents per pound, as in
1913 when it was GO.
Surplus S4,62s, 1868.
The company's surplus on Janu-
airy 1, 1915, stood at $4,628,36S as
against $5,021, 5S1 the year previous.
The surplus of the company is prac-
tically entirely in cash and quick as
sets.
The political situation in northern
Mexico, which looked very clear and
two months ago, is now
thoroughly chaotic, There is little or
no likelihood of early resumption at
Greene-Cananea before July L, much
as the company would enjoy such
contamination.

JONES BHLWLL !.
PASS, PHILIPPINE
DELEGATE SAYS
Next Congress Will Approve
Increased Self Government
For FiIipinos, He Thinks

Expressing belief that the Jones
bill, granting limited independence to
the Filipinos, would eventually pass
at the next session of congress, Manu-
|el l.. QueZon, Cne Of two delegates
to congress from the Philippines, is a
visitor at Honolulu in the Mongolia
today.
He is accompanied by his secretary,
Maxine NJ. kalaw, a former Filipino
Journalist. Delegate Quezon spent
some weeks at San Francisco, where
he took an active part in the inspec-
ton CT the Pacific exposition,
particularly the Philippine exhibit.
The delegate took a conspicuous part
in the preliminary arrangements for
it's installation. 1t was through his
advice that large appropriation was
passed by the joint assembly and COM
mission at Manila.
Today Delegate QueZon expressed
hope for the early reconsideration Of
the Jones bill in congress when it
convenes next December. He says
that President Wilson appears to fa-
vCr the measure and has assured the
delegates that it will be one of the
first matters taken up by the national
lawmakers
QuezOn and his colleague, Manuel
Earnshaw. attempted to bring the
Jones bill before the last session OF
congress after the ship purchase bill
had received final consideration. The
measure reposed in committee until
the session came to close.
He said that had the delegation
agreed to eliminate the section in the
preamble calling for the positive
promise of independence of the Filipi-
ncs, the measure might not have been
talked to death by the legislators.
Delegate Quezon and party are to-
day making a tour of the city. While
here. they will make some inquiry into
the condition of Filipino lahOrers now
in the islands.

there was urgent need Of an observa-
