 The Granby mines are in charge Of Supt. Smith. who has a large crew at work, and who will continue the work of placing the property on a shipping basis. The company has already built wharf and bunkers, and the first ore was sent to the beach last Thurs day. A shipment will be made to the Granby Shelter at Anyox, in a short time. While the tram has been un- der construction, Supt. Smith has d. SO been blocking out considerable ore, and enough to run the mine for several years has been blocked out and is ready for shipping.

 His detailed report and personal observations are awaited with consid- erable interest by the men in New York who have been identified with the building of the railroad and the development of Kennecott Copper.
 Besides the above dispatches, which were too strong for print even though from an engineer with such a record behind him. the real news is that the capacity of the shelter at Seat tie has been ordered expanded so as to make a product of 9O,0000O0 pounds of copper per annum from Kennecott.
 There are $1OOOO,O0O Kennecott bonds covering the mining property, and one-half the net earnings must be devoted to the retirement of these bonds. but the whole may convert at any time after June l, 1917. into stock at S25 per share. There are now outstanding 72O,OOO shares, with out par value. It is believed from present indications that all the bonds will take the first opportunity to con- vert, but meanwhile, or for a year and a half after next January. one half the net earnings must so into a sinking fund for their retirement, but they are neither convertible nor callable until June 1, 1917, when they may be converted as above or called at 1O5.
 Therefore we must figure on the conversion of all the bonds, as the trustees may be unable to call any in before June l. 1917 At S45 Q share the mine has a market value of about $5O,OOOOOO.
 AS this company has now the low est cost sheet in the world at un- der 5 cents per pound, the question of dividends upon its shares is already under discussion and in some quar- ters predictions are made of S6 share for beginning. (Boston News Bureau)

 All sorts of difficulties stood in the way of this railroad and within three years a western mining man reported that the copper field would just about return the cost of the road.
 Engineer Henry Krumb on July 2s wired to the bankers who put the money into the building of the road and the development of the Kenne- colt mine:
 "Ore showing is the greatest in the history of mining and has wonderful possibilities.
 On the 18th of August Krumb again wired:
 Conditions greatly changed in nine years. Kennecott world beater."
 These telegrams are believed to be based on the showing of one of the companys mining veins on the 5OO foot leve, where for width of 6l feet the copper ore assays 70 per cent.
 This of course. means that where in the Butte mining camp. the Bon. anza or 70 per cent. ore was found for a few feet in the center of a vein 100 to 12O feet wide, Alaska has gone the Butte camp and the famous Ana. conda several times better
