The copper production of the United States in the first six months of 1916 was 95.S90,000 pounds. according to statistics compiled by the New York Commercial The figure includes Ca nadian and Mexican copper which is refined and marketed in the United States and is also the output of the Cerro de Pasco Copper Corporation of Peru, whose output is likewise re- fined and marketed in this country. The figures do net include any Chil- can or other foreign copper The pro- duction in the entire year 1915 was 1852. .776OOO comparing with 1.5S9.- 7S1,000 pounds in 1914 and 1929, ,451, 900 pounds in 1913
 The dividend paying American cop per companies disbursed $36, 6,777.39S in the second quarter, comparing with s26 73S,2S5 in the first quarter. Total dividends for the six months were $63. 515,6S3. This sum exceeds the to- tai distribution for any full year in the history of the copper industry.
 Against dividends of $63. .515.6S3 paid during the six months, the actual profits of the dividend paying com panies were sl43,721,9 goo. The profits were earned on a production of 912. 9S0,0G0 pounds of copper, by these companies and costing 9Ac per pound to produce. Moreover the profits are calculated on 25-cent copper metal, all though the real average price during the six months was 26A or fully 1%C per pound higher The profits were | considerably more than double the 1 dividends distributed.

COPPER INTERESTS
 PROTEST WAR TAX

Those interested in the copper in- dustry are vigorously protesting against the proposed chasing of the business as war industry by con- gress and taxing it accordingly, says the Prescott Journal Miner.
 The democrats of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives are hard put for rev enue to run the government and the prospect of a further large deficit has caused them to single out this particular industry because it hap pens to be temporarily prosperous.
 It is a long cry from Washington to Arizona but the democrats here are up in arms over the proposed tax and already have initiated a move ment of protest. which will eventually make it's influence felt at the capitol.

United Verde Extension Joins the Proud Ranks Of Dividend Payers

The declaration of the soc dividend by the United Verde Extension was in line with the forecast made by this paper on June l6 last, when it was stated that the initial disbursement would be at the annual rate of $2 or S2.50 a share. It was added that the first payment would be soc, with a possibility of 1Oc extra, and at that time several of the directors were in favor of the higher rate.
 The article in question stated, how ever. that one important conservative interest in the company favored a dividend for the quarter of soc per share, with extra distributions at the end of the year, and therefore it must be considered that the action of the directors was conservative, as it is known that the company's earnings are sufficient to pay a much higher rate than was ordered.
 It is pointed out that the rate of earnings at present is sufficient to pay a dividend of soc every three months. and leave substantial bal
  bursements at the end of the year, or to increase the cash reserve of the company, as the directors deem fit.
 A letter is to be sent to the stock holders by Secretary c. P. Sands for the directors, giving the details of work at the property since Feb. 19, last. The letter says:
 Since the issuing of the annual re- port on Feb 19 last, the ore body on the 1400-foot level, which was referred to at that time, has been developed by about 20OO feet of lateral workings in ore. and two upraises reaching a heIght of loo feet above the 14O0-foot level and several other upraises in ore a winze located at about the cen ter of the ore body on the 14OO-foot level is being sunk. It is proposed to sink this wnze to a depth of at least 200 feet
 There is no reason to doubt that the ore body will go to a considerable depth and consequently it is conser- vatively safe to consider the property as having great value.
 "A careful sampling of the ore body on the 1400-foot level shows that it averages 16 per cent copper and up to the present time we have blocked out upwards of soc. 900 tons of ore.
 Tt is proposed to sink a new two compartment shaft equipped with skips and pockets, to be used exclus- ively for the hoisting of ore. After the completion of the winze and the new shaft. it is intended to sink the Edith shaft to a greater depth

Perhaps my eye is not sufficiently bright, but I prefer to de- pend on microscopic examinations of thin sections for my classification rather than hand specimene MT Schrader uses the terms and that seems to be sufficient for most of the writers. However, Mir Schrader also says, So far as learned the old an desite as rule does not contain workable mineral deposits except along lines where the latite has erup- ted through it. There is a keynote which seems to have been overlooked single commercial oreshoot worthy of mention in any of the andesites in this district that is not intimately asso- ciated with latites. So what is the difference anyway?
 Adularia is a beautiful word, We all delight in writing and speaking it. The mere fact that it is, practically without exception in this district, mi croscopic and invisible to the naked eye does not keep it from being men, toned as a characteristic in all writ ings. It has the advantage of being perfectly safe Who is going to have a slide made to prove it wrong? Let him beware, for he will probably find it in said slide.
 This district is only just getting started. The next few years may prove it the most important gold mining district in the United States Nearly every important mining man in the country is financially inter ested in this district. and the big men do not put their money into wildcats Of course there are wildcats roaming around these hills No law can abSo- 1 lutely wipe them out But no mining district in the country at a similar stage ever had sc much good legiti- mate development work financed and under way We need good honest | opinions regarding the geology and other features, but we do not need | any more rehashed phrases and tech- nical terms.

s16Q0 FIRE DESTROYS
 BUILDING IN WENDEN

WENDEN, July 7.-The most disas- trous fire that has occurred in Wen den in some time was the burning of the Parker Commercial Go. warehouse and corral on July 1. The exploding and burning of fifty -four barrels of gasoline was most spectacular, the flames reaching a height of nearly 800 feet. Besides the gasoline the fire consumed large quantity of hay and grain. The loss, besides the building, amounted to more than $500.

far from railroads to ship at a profit
 Conservative people look upon such properties as failures and it accounts for the fact that except in rare cases banks and merchants refuse assistance to the owners. These conditions are also the cause of many an unfortunate investment. An investor is shown good looking ore. It assays sometimes as high as $50 a ton or more. He visits the mine and is shown plenty of ore in sight What more can he ask? He puts up his money and opens up the mine He ships a carload of ore. In many cases he doesn't ship any more. The mine Is closed down-and takes it's place among the failures"
 The object of the Mineral Products Chemical Co, is to reverse these con- ditions where it is possible to do so
 By it's improved and tested processes it will be able to separate and save the values in the form of high grade, com mercial concentrates always in demand. While the business of the Mineral Products Chemical Co. is necessarily closely allied to mining it cannot be
 classed as mining any more than a flour mill can be classed as farming. The proposed company will supply | the important missing link between l the mine owner and the bank and mer- chant. It will convert the mine prod ucts of little value into commercial | concentrates of high values. It will provide funds to pay old debts and 1 start new bank accounts. It will en- ] able many old miners to find pleasant
 and profitable work and open up op- 1 portunities to others. It will establish values to mines and prospects that have
 but little now.
 Genuine mining prosperity is the real l thing. It builds and creates as nothing | else can. It overshadows every other
 industry-yet it is rival of none, for | it produces great wealth from idle and ! otherwise useless resources. If the
 mines alone tributary to Phoenix could ] be operated to capacity, she would equal Denver. With the mines, farming
 and health possibilities fully developed J she will rival both Denver and Los
 Angeles.

MIAMI


 Miami Copper Co. last week posted a quarterly dividend of $1.50 per share payable August 15 to stock of record Aug l. A higher rate had been anticipated. The company paid $1.5O in May last: $1.25 in February; Sl.O0 in November; 75c in August; and 50c in May 1916. There has been an in- crease of 25c per share with each sue ceeding quarter, and a similar in crease had been anticipated for yes terdays declaration. especially since earnings and surplus warrant such an increase. However, it did not mater ialize.
 Miami in the first six months of 1916 will have produced 24,SOO'O 900 pounds of refined copper at cost slightly over Sc, and showing profits of S3,9O0,00 These profits are cal culated on 5c copper, which is nearly 2c under the average price of the half year. Dividends of $50 quarterly call for but S2.242, 900 for the six months and are scarcely more than half of Miamis earnings. Earnings in the six months exceeded $10 per share per annum after all deductions.
 Miami is accommodating an unwield- ly large surplus. When the August dividend falls due over S6,500,00o will be available it is estimated, in cash and copper surplus assets. The div idend calls for sl,12O67l. There will remain after the dividend a residual cash asset surplus of over $5,0OO,OO0, versus $749,S34 on January l, 1915. What will Miami do with all it's cash?
