KENNECOTF IS THIRD GREATEST
 COPPER MINE

BOSTON, Sept. S. Once upon a time some mining promoters arranged that one should so west and send glowing dispatches about the ore de- velopment and prospects of the prop erty, while the eastern partners boom ed the stock. While the western man was at the mine. the company opened up a big deposit of bonanza ore. The dispatches, of course. flow ed fast and furious.
 Don't sell another share. Stock worth ten times what we are asking. Big ore body just opened" Back went the dispatches from the east. Stock selling very rapidly. Your dispatch. es fine"
 Meanwhile the western man was tearing his hair to convey the truth to tis eastern partners. But every glowing report brought back the re- ply of booming stock sales and how fine were his accounts. Despite all his dispatches telling his associates to cancel every sale order and forget everything that ever occurred between them and under no circumstances to sell another share. away went the stock The buyers got a good prop erty while the insiders went out.
 kennecott was no mere mining stock promotion. Three of the wealth. lest financial concerns in the country put up S25,OOO,OOO to build a railroad and develop the copper property. Af- ter nearly ten years of work. they find their investment justified and copper twenty cents a pound.
 They. however. we understand, ar- ranged to make some distribution of the shares and establish a quotation preparatory to listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Their friends and the public readily took all the stock around $27 to SS7 share. Af- ter all the desired distribution was accomplished, the stock suddenly took a jump to 47 and then into the sos, and who were the buyers on the re- cent advance?
 If undersurface Wall Street re- ports can be trusted Che buyers at ~ were none other than the sellers at 2l And some very choice in- vestments were sold to enable the so-cailed insiders to buy back their stock.
 The reason was recently told in the columns of this paper. The dispatch ss from Engineer Krumb were sur

 A year ago marked the completion of the first month under the pail of wars beclouding. Trading exchanges of various sorts had been closed 90 days. and faced a further suspension of some three months more They were shrouded in sentiment which seemed to wonder if ever they would reopen. Financiers had been strug. gling through a nightmare of precau. ton and provision for defending or patching the disarranged mechanism of finance.
 Various industries were rapidly re- necting the slowing down of momen- tum. and commodities markets were sloughs of despond save in the case of few like wheat. Nobody then had prescience of the wonder-work- ing "war order"
 A few contrasts of that period and this are stimulatingly worth while.

Birch Descrlbce Kennecott 1unnn cl-nnl InnrnaN


 NEW YORK. Sept. 8. - Etephen Birch, president of the Kennecotl Copper Co.,, has returned from Alaska where he has been making an inspec ton of the Kennecott properties. Hen ry Krumb, who accompanied Mir Birch, stopped off at Salt Lake City Reports to the directors on the rec ent Kennecott development will be made in due time by Mrs Krumb and Birch.
 It is understood that recent devel opments at the Kennecott mines have in no way been exaggerated. The mine is described as a world wonder
 One statement says "It is hard to believe that such an ore body exists. There are a number of stopes over 90 feet wide. in which an the material broken down is shipped direct to the smelter, and the returns average ov- CT 70 per cent. copper.
 The Kennecott Company has been hampered somewhat by the lack of capacity of the Tacoma shelter. It has been compelled to ship a large amount of its ore to Salt Lake City, and eastern plants, for treatment, Not until January l. 1916. will the Ta- coma shelter be in a position to han de the entire tonnage of the Kenne- colt mines.
 New construction now under way will give the Tacoma shelter @ ca pacity of sO.OOO,OOO pounds of copper annually.

CONDITIONS
ARE SOUND

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The advance summary of the annual business re- view of the Continental and Conner cial National Bank of Chicago says the correspondents of that institution pronounce fundamental conditions in this country in the main. as being sound. The report says with an az ricultural yield of S10,O0O. 100000 pro- bably the greatest known, with the domestic credit situation improving, and with labor employed, there is suf- ticient basis for hope of better things.
 The one deterring feature, accord ing to these reports, apparently is the uncertainty as to the length of the war and the immediate and ultimate effect on the worlds business of the tremendous destruction of capital and life in the European conflict.
 The report is based on the compos- ite contents of 6.5OO letters and thous. ands of interviews.

Good News for Richmond

IT must be with poignant regret that City
l Auditor Crenshaw finds himself COM
PEELED to differ from those prophets OF evil
who declared Richmond would suffer just
terribly from the effects OF the tax legisla-
ton passed the last session of the Legis-
lature. MIR. Crenshaw who really has moth
ing but rather intimate acquaintance with
the sources and volume of the citys revenues
TO guide his judgment, says Richmond will
not suffer al all.
In other words tile addition to the munich
pal revenues that the new legislation will
make will just about equal the losses the
revenues Will suffer. Ii the city tax rate is
increased. therefore, il will not be because OF
wrongs inflicted on Richmond by the General
Assembly.
To the ordinary citizen, who has 10 axes
TO grind nor tax panaceas TO sell this will
be rather cheering news.
