DIVIDEND CUT MAY
 CURB INSPIRATION

It is understood from a reliable source that the g quarterly dividend on Inspiration is in danger of being cut at the meeting of the directors the latter part of the current month. The reason for this is that the com pany is very much at sea relative to the excess profits taxes and until this has been definitely decided it is said that the directors may find it neces- sary to reduce the dividend from Sz quarterly to $50.
 Besides, the production of Inspira- ton has not come along as fast as was expected, as the company has not yet fully recovered from the strike. With the expectation that the output would grow to a higher figure than it has reached, the directors declared S2 per share at the last two dividend meetings when the company had not nearly earned the amount distributed.
 In June and July the company pro- duced no copper and beginning with September, when but 2,250,000 pounds were produced, the output got up tU 5,6OO,000 pounds in December ana 6,20O000 pounds in February. Since last July the total production has been only 23,950,000 pounds. or not much more than a two months normal ton mage. As it is very unlikely that the mine will get back to normal for some little time yet, the directors feel that GAL ? DIVIDEND CUT
 the correct policy to follow would bs one or more conservatism in the mat ter of dividends.
 It is stated that at present the plants are operating at about S5 per cent of capacity and there may be a decided increase in the production in March, but it is unlikely that capacity production will be reached for month pr two longer at least. Like all other mines the costs at Inspiration have showed a sharp increase. In 1916 the cost was just under 9 cents. In 19ii f is estimated to have been around A cents. While this will give the company a substantial margin of prohi he smaller production has cut the earnings very seriously and this, to- yether with the uncertainties of the excess profits taxes will probably be net with lower dividend rate at the next meeting.

FOSTER BILL. FACES
 DEATH IN CONGRESS

Judging by letters from congressmeIl and senators, there is little likelihood of the Foster bill being presented or, if it is presented, of its being passed This is the measure providing for gov. try. Following are excerpts from some of the letters received:
 From Champ Clark am glad to give this bill my earnest study and your resolution will be presented 60 congress today.
 From Congressman Carl Hayden So far as I can learn. the agitation in favor of such legislation has prac- tically ceased, and the so-called Eos ter bill. which was prepared by tEe bureau of mines, has never been iS- troduced in either Gle house or inc senate. It seems to me that there is no excuse for government control or operation of the metal mines so ion < as the production of metals continues at the present rate. The only cloun that there is on the horizon is the possibility of strikes which would tie up this industry, but the department of labor has been very successful in settling a large number of disputes, and the indications are that the methods of arbitration and concilia- tion will be successful. If. however. the mine owners and the mine work CTS cannot practilaly agree, there might come a time when federal con- trol is necessary in order to provide for the uninterrupted production of the metals that are essential to the conduct of the war. Personally. hope that such drastic action will not be required. and I have great faith that it can be avoided.
 Senator Henry F. Ashurst-This il, reply to your letters regarding tnr Foster bill You are assured that l shall give the matter my close atten- tion and consideration with view 10 complying with your good wishes in the matter.
 Senator Marcus A Smith am in receipt of your letter touching what is known as the Foster bill, which you state was recently referred 10 the committee on mines and mining of the house of representatives. have not had an opportunity to examine the bill. but if it covers the ground in the resolution of your chamber of commerce, there is no earthly chance of it's ever passing the senate of the United States. Of course, ! would oppose such a measure with III my might

MOORE-LETSON MINE
 WILL BE DEVELOPED

DOUGLAS, March 24.-Franklin B Harding, chief consulting engineer oi the Chicago Exploration & Develop ment corporation, who has been in the Swisshelm mountains for the pasl ten days making an extensive exami nation Of the MoOre-Letson silverlead properties, has returned to Douelas and left this week for Chicago to lay before the officials of his company a report of his findings.
 Mir Harding stated that there was no doubt but that his company would now take over the Moore-Letson hold. ings. and that he would recommend to his company the immediate con struction of a concentrator and the erection of a small power plant.
 The engineer was enthusiastic as to the future promising outlook of the property and stated that as soon as work on the property was under way and the workings more extensively de- velOped. the mine would prove to be a great factor in the industrial circles of Douglas
 MT Harding estimates that it will cost the Chicago Exploration & De corporation in the neigh borhood of $15O,OOO to construct q road from the mine to the county highway. which passes within nine miles of the property. and this will be the first work 10 be undertaken of any magnitude.
 Over 1SO0O feet of work has been done on the Moore-Letson group. GOV ering the peroid of nine years during it's present ownership. and during which time a very large body of silver lead ore has been developed and block -d. assays showing returns runnins high in silver.
 This is the third favorable report fc be made on the property by Mir. Harding. while in 1913 a similar re- port was made 10 the Guggenheim fn- .erests hv their engineers.
 According to Mir. Harding, his com any will shortly establish an office n Douglas in order to facilitate the handling of its mining business in this section.
