BIG COPPER SHARE ISSUES MADE SINCE
 THE WAR STARTED

Time was-and 1t was not 80 very long ago either-when 100000 shares was thought to represent adequate capital for copper mining concern says the Boston News Bureau Of April 29th. Anything more was con sldered imitation" The pioneer Calumet & Hecla Mining Company of Lake Superior never increased its shares beyond 100000 and inci- dentally upon this capital 1t has paid dividends aggregating S1S1O00-0O0. For years the laws of Michigan for bade more than 100000 shares to be issued against copper mine.
 We truly have wandered far from the staid conservatism idealized in the Calumet G Hecla. To be sure. the latter has been a dead one" from speculative point of view, and it's stockholders have rarely taken dividend tout of the stock market" The company's directors have never sought listing anywhere than on the Boston Stock Exchange, and any attempt to buy or sell O good-sized block of stock would advance or de- press the price to prohibltiye figures. Conversely there has been plenty of action" in those properties where extraordinary liberality has been shown in the issuance of capital.
 The ease with which, promoters nowadays are multiplying by ten, twenty and thirty the old standards of capita limitations suggests word of caution. A couple of million shares seems not to jar the sensibili- ties of the up-to-date promoter An Illustration: Chile Copper and Ken necott. two of the most recent intro ductons to Wall Street. have 4.40O,- 900 and 2,754,625 shares. respectively.
 In this connection 1t Is of interest to note that ten copper producers, now putting out over 50 per cent. of the American refinery output of o. OO0,OOO,OOO pounds per annum. are selling in the stock market for SS17,- 60O.OO0 and their aggregate capital is no less than IS.4S700O shares, as- suming all bonds converted. The average Is over 1,S4S.OOO shares for each property. We set down here with ten of the large producers which have made the heaviest issues of share capital:

 TELLS. Russian Transcaucasia Ap- Til 2s.-Fifteen thousand Armenians were killed by Turks at Mamakhatun prIor to the evacuation of Erzerum, according to statement prepared by Richard Hill, local representa- 1.-Two of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, of New York. More than that, many more expelled from Erzerum and surround ing villages, have dropped out of sight. and 1t is assumed that most of them have met like fate. It IS estimated that there are 100000 Ar menlan refugees in the Caucasus. They are beginning to return to their homes in large numbers. More than S12O 900 has been expended by the American Committee for their relief 175.OOO articles of clothing and bed ding, several tons of sugar, tea, soap and kerosene having been distribut- ed.
 Mir. Hill describes interestingly the almost superhuman achievement of the Russian soldiers in sealing the heights around Erzerum, packing the heavy guns piecemeal over the noun tain ranges preparatory to attacking the fortresses. His information was gathered from various officials and army officers who have returned to Tlflis from Erzerum
 "The work of the Russian forces was nothing short of marvellous" !" writes Mir. Hill. "They had to fight their way from their original position near Sari Kamysh clear up to the city itself. over roads that beggar de- scrlption. The men waded ini snow up to their waists, pushed on through a bllnding snowstorm, sealed appar' ently impossible heights all in weath- CT as intense and bitter as that of the Arctic Circle. Guns were taken apart and carried on the backs Of soldiers, hauled up by ropes to the top of cliffs and then dropped down the icy slopes and put together in the clouds from where they brought terror and consternation to the enc my. Too much praise cannot be glv- en to the valor and harihood of the Russian soldier. An artillery officer who was In the fight from the begin ming, told me that the wonders per formed and the difficulties overcome were very whit as great as those which made the march of Napoleon over the Alps 8 military classic.
 "The city itself is little if any damaged, the forts, even hardly showing evidence of the severe bonn bardment. When the fall of the city was imminent the Turkish soldiers in certain quarters began to loot and burn. but before much damage was done the inhabitants were able to prevent the fire from spreading. The approach Of the Russian soldiers caused the looters to beat hasty A population of 25,000 was found in the place, mostly Turks. Some Persians and @ flow Greeks made up the remainder. Possibly a hundred Armenians had been able to hide with friendly Turks and were found in the city upon It's capture. Apart from these there has been found no trace of other Armenians, 15,OOO, who were taken from the city and sent Into tine in- ierior in June of last year That ls to say. no word has come from

LIGHTHOUSE TENDER
 NUKul IN PORT ON
 WAY TO WESTWARD

The lighthouse tender KulSui is in port loading coal preparatory for her long trip to the westward with the years supplies for the lighthouses stretched along the coast from Cor. dova to Unimak Pass. This year several new aids to navigation will be installed In ithe westward section, including the large light whistle and bell buoy ofl Cape st. Elias.
 The big buoy for Cape St. Elias is lying on the deck of tender and weighs 13 tons. It is huge steel affair, surmounted by whistle and 9 light and with a large submarine bell under the water The bell is rung by the action of the sea and can be heard for distance of g miles by the Adniral Line boats which are equipped with submarine alarms. On the boats not so equipped lt can be heard for at least four miles. by list ening against the side Of the ship in the hold. The whistle is also worked by the action of the sea and can be heard for four miles, while the light is an acetyiene blinker and is visible for IA miles.
 This big piece Of steel win be aoated from anchors at point o half mile south of the southeast breakwater and about two miles from the end of Cape St. Elias. It will be left there and will be used as an aid to navigation iD conjunction With the lighthouse which is being con structed on the Cape The buoy is exactly the same as the one on Bar negat shoal outside of New York harbor.
 The KulSul will be away for ct least three months on her westward trip and supplies will be delivered at all Lighthouses. all buoys, inspected and all blinker ligats inspected and renewed for the year.

GERMANY OFFERED ssoo,ooo
 FOR DESTRUCTION OF SHIPS
 WlTNEss ASSERTS ON TRIAL

NEW YORK, May S.--The German government was prepared to pay $500 GOO for tho destruction of ships load ed with war supplies for the Enten- te Allies. Lieutenant Robert Fay, of the German army, on trial in the United States court for alleged con spiracy. was quoted as having in. formed Carl l.. Wittlg, witness for the prosecution.
 q asked him." testified Wittig, a chemical engineer, "if he knew what $5OO,OOO was. and he replied that money was no object to this thing"
 Wittig. who declared his sympa- thies in the war were with France, told of informing the French embassy of his conversations with Fay. The embassy in turn notified the Few York police.
 On trial with Fay are his brother in-law, Walter scholz, and Paul Daeche, Wittig said he told Fay and scholz that in placing bombs on ves- sels with which they were unfamiliar, they were placing innocent people in jeopardy"
 "Scholz declared" added the wit ness, "that they knew what they were doing; that Max Breitung wac telling them on which ships ammunl- ton was being shipped"
 Breitung also is under indictment In connection with the alleged con- spiracy.
 Wittig's disclosures, 1t was said, came just in time to put the police on the track at the moment a supply of trinitrololuol, one of the most pow erful of high explosives, had been delivered to the headquarters of the alleged plotters in Hoboken.
 Even then, 1t was asserted. the scheme to attach bombs to the rud, ders of ammunition ships might have been worked out successfully had not Fay insisted upon testing the new explosive-in which he had little faith. It was on Sunday. October 24, 1915. 1t was alleged, just as a quantity of this TINT, as It is called was about to be tested on the hills back of Weehawken, N. J.. that the arrests were made.

Thousands of Armenians Massacred By Turks
 Near Brezerum Before Russians Capture City

any Of the men, but Mir. Stapleton,
 American missionary at Erzerum, has
 heard indirectly from some of the
 women deported at that time. The whole of the province has been cleared of Armenians, with the ex- ception of those few who hid In the city At the same time 15,OOO were sent away from villages nearby
 These were taKen as far as Homak- hatum. where they were killed. 9th CT groups have been sent off al different times. many of them. too, no doubt. sharing the same fate as those from Erzerum although some hope is entertained that many of them still may be found alive in the region of Aleppo."
 In this connection 1t Is interesting to learn of an Incident occurring just prior to the fall of the city. Taxim Bey, .he vali, 1t appears had done all he oculd, as far as he was allowed by Constantinople to do. to ease the lot of the Armenians. Real izing that the fall of the city was near he sent for Mr. Stapleton and to him delivered message for the Russian authorities to the effect that if the Moslem population were not molested by the Russian. troops. he would do all he could to help the expatriated ArmeniRns in Mesopo- tamia; otherwise he would not an- swer for what might happen. It is only just to the Russians to say that the relations between the troops and the inhabitants are exceedingly friendly The tazaars and shops are open and the people are glad to sell to the Russians.
 The fall of Erzerum had hardly been announced before groups of Ar menians in various parts of the Cau- casus began plans for their return. Many have already gone back and others are only waiting for means to enable them to move The Van, Bitlis and adjacent vilayets have al- ready been opened and permission to so back seems easy to obtain.
 The number of refugees at pres ent would total close to 100000. They have managed for the most part to get through the winter somehow, helped by the various relief organi- zations at work here It is realized that to permit a wholesale return Of all would be madness. They would return to ruined homes and devas- tated fields. Very wisely therefore, those in authority are urging the women and children to remain here while the men take up the work of their homes.
 Among the organizations at work are the Russian government, local Armenian and American committees, The latter composed of F. Willough- by Smith, American Consul m Tiflis; Dr. Wilson, Dr. Medium, Mr. Fill and Mir, Gracey. have been at work for some months. They represent the American committee of New York. Nearly 6O000O rubles have been received by them for tho relief work more than half Of which has been expended. To this committee has come an appeal from Van from the Russian Governor, to assist in repatriation of that province. The latter points out the need of blows, and agricultural implements general ly, tools, seeds, animals and building The American Committee has this appeal under consideration.

The tendency nowadays is 10 ne- glect all inquiry into the number of shares issued against property; rath- CT the par value seems in the minds of some to possess some measure of real worth. The average investor is prone to compare quotations quite to the neglect of the number of units into which cap'tal is divided. Dol lars per share earned should be borne in mind as well as dollars per share quoted.

There is no "Assyria" at the present
day. A large part of Syria belonged
for while to the ancient empire of
the Assyrian kings, and it is altogeth-
Ter probable that the word Syria is an
abbreviation of Assyria. Ancient AS
syria was the country between the
Armenian mountains in the north and
the alluvial plain of Babylonia in the
south, the Tigris in the west, and the
mountains of Kurdistan in the east;
the name also included the varying
empire which included from time to
time different parts of the adjacent
territory. Some of the classical writ
ers plainly include Babylonia and
Mesopotamia in "Assyria." The Assyr-
ian empire came to an end about 6O6
B. c., and after it's fall the name of
"Adiabene" came to be used for the
chief part of Assyria proper. In the
year lis A. D. the Roman Emperor
Trajan created Roman province of
Assyria, but the attempt to restore
the old name was abandoned by the
Emperor Hadrian. The modern name
of Syria is given both to the actual
Turkish vilayet west of Palestine and
to the larger region which includes
the vilayet of Syria and stretches
northeast into Aleppo.
