LAY PLANS To merge
RICH COPPER firms
Worlds Greatest Red Metal Corpora
ton in Process of Formation.
CBy the international New. serv,e.

(By the international News service.) }
New York, Nov. I7.-As the result OF
a series of conferences that have been
going on for the last week, an unofficial
agreement was reached this afternoon
looking to the organization of the great
est copper corporation in the world.
Formal announcement is not expected
until next week. Changes may be made
either by omitting or adding companies,
but the merger as now proposed COM
prises the Kennecott, Braden, Utah Cop
per. Nevada Consolidated, Inspiration,
Chile and Cerro de Pasco.
The market value of the issued capital
stock Of these companies based on yes
terday's prices is nearly s7O0,000,OO0. The
market value today of the United States
Steel Corporations outstanding common
and preferred stock was s1,07l, ,31S,0o0.
The mergers estimated OUTPUT OF metal
for 1917 is about s6O,0O0,OOO pounds, or
about a third of all the copper to be
produced next year on this hemisphere
At 30 cents a pound, this copper would
be worth $25S,0o0,000. As the average
cost Of production by this combination
is not more than 8 cents a pound and
certainly not more than 10 cents, even
including selling costs, the profits esti-
mated for the combination in the year
1911 will be not less than $I72, 100000.

the Jacket on a thick one" The eX-

private, clinched. and they rolled under
a table from which the hot dog of war
