ANACONDA AFFECTED BY LABOR SHORTAGE
 IN ITS PRODUCTION
EARNINGS WILL BE LOWER AS A RESULT, THOUGH LARGE SUR PLUS RESERVE SAFEGUARDS DIVIDENDS TO ITS sTocKHoLD- FRS; MADE 24,soO,ooo POUNDS

BOSTON. Mass. Sept. 21.-That the labor question with the mining companies is becoming a serious one is shown by the output of Anaconda for August which amounted to 24.- 900,000 pounds. a decrease of 500.00O pounds from July, 900,O00 pounds un- der the June total and 3.50O.0O0 un- der the May total of 2S, 400, 900 pounds This makes an actual reduction of r. 100000 pounds in the past three months when comparison is taken with the record month. or an actual average of 2,366,OO pounds per month.
 At the August figure the company produced at an annual rate of 29S, ,S00,- 900 pounds as against an annual fig ure of 340,00O, 900 pounds in May and it would appear that if the govern ment needs copper in the amounts which are generally understood some efforts should be taken to increase the supply of labor.
 With a new draft coming on there will be a still further drain on the labor supply and unless exemptions are granted to miners 1t may be ex- pected that the copper supply of the country will be still further depleted This, together with the new tax lev ies, will have a detrimental effect on the earnings of the copper cOmpan- ies.
 In the case of AnacOnda. however there is a big margin of earnings above requirements. Last year with the production over SO,0O0.00O pounds under the 1916 total the company was able to show earnings equal to Sl5 per share as against about S22 in the previous year. If the August produc- ton is maintained for the remainder of the year the earnings should be as large as those of 1917. for despite the labor shortage the fact should be borne in mind that in 1917 the com pany had an expensive strike on its hands which added to the costs and thus reduced earnings even more than the curtailment of production in itself brought about

.SHATTUCK OUTPUT
 FOR AUGUST WAS
 QUITE LOW ONE
WITH EXCEPTION OF JULY, THAT
 OF. LAST MONTH WAS LOWEST OF THIS YEAR; WILL MEAN
 ANNUAL TOTAL OF ABOUT g. 100000 POUNDS IF ADHERED TO

Shattuck-Arizona's copper produc- tion in August of 6S2,S pounds was with one exception the lowest which the company has reported this year. In July output amounted to only 672,- 024 pounds so that last months pro duction shows but slight improvement Since July of last year when labor troubles materially curtailed copper output, Shattuck-Arizona in only one month. March of this year, was able to surpass the 100000 mark, says the Boston Financial News.
 Like most of the other mining com panies. Shattuck-Arizona is handicap ped by insufficient labor. and pros poets for increasing the output the rest of the year depends largely on the ability of the management to get more help which has been attracted to other lines of the abnormal wages now being paid.
 Although in July of last year Shat tuck produced slightly more than 200.- 900 pounds, the total output for the tlSnl nOnluS. Jl lnlS year lS Slill Suu- stantially behind a year ago. Up to and including August the company has produced 6.560S pounds of cop per as compared with 9.010.647 in the corresponding period of 1917, a de crease of 2.449. sos. If the August production is continued for the other four months, Shattuck will have a to- tai for 1918 of approximately 9,400,00O pounds against 11,935317 in 1917 and 1S,161, 763 in 1916.
 Production of lead. silver and gold was satisfactory for the month with the former showing the highest totai since May of last year
 Lower production this year will be materially felt by the company with the price of copper fixed. and operat ing costs rapidly increasing. Last year 1t cost 1924 cents a pound to produce copper as compared with S.71 in 1916 ! This year it Is only natural tO expect that costs will be higher with ma terials and wages considerably above those in 1917.

MIAMI COPPER
 SHOWS HIGHEST
 PRODUCTION YET
Total Is Largest in Company's Entire History; First Eight Months Show Big Spurt

Miami Copper company did the un- expected in August by shattering all previous monthly records for copper production running up a total of D. 379,19S pounds. an increase of 5S6.116 over that of July. This amount com pares with 5.349,OOO pounds in June of last year. the previous high mark.
 Since the beginning of the current year Miami's production has maintain ed a steady trend. output showing sight variations from previous months. This showing is all the more encour- aging when it is remembered that mining companies on the whole are handicapped to some extent by the prevailing labor shortage.
 For the eight months production to- tai 39 265,5S5 pounds. as compared with 30.151 ell pounds in the same Months of last year. an increase of g. 113,974 pounds This abnormal in- crease is directly due to the fact that in July and August of last year labor troubles seriously hit production. the total cgtput for the two months being only 240.00G pounds. which should have been approximately 10000, ,000 pounds.
 Unless some unforeseen event oc- CUTS before the end of the year, Miami should roll up the largest production in it's history This increased output will help materially in keeping costs down which Of late have displayed a tendency to soar In 1917 copper costs amounted to S.54 as compared with 6.66 cents per pound in 1916. This year should witness a further advance in cost as wages and materials have iumped tO abnormal levels.
 Last year Miami reported refined copper of 44.2OS.O61 pounds and re- ceived an average of 29.14 cents per pound. This year the company has re- ceived an average of 231a cents in the first six months, and is now getting 26 cents, which in all probability will continue for the remainder of the year. With prospects of approximately 15,- 0UO,0OO additional pounds expected in 1918. Miami's revenues should show marked increase.

CORNELIA BENEFITED
LATTER cAMPANY NOW SHOW ING SATISFACTORY RETURN UPON HUGE SUMS INVESTED IN IT BY c. 6 A. AND OTHER INpL V0UAL STOCKHOLDERS

Calumet & Arizona Mining company reports output in August of 4.376. 900 pounds Of copper. an increase of 162. 000 pounds as compared with the pre- viOus month and 144.0OO pounds bet ter than the June figure Compared with 4.76S.0O0 pounds produced in May the best showing this year. August output is a dcrease of 392.0 pounds. Thus in eight months Calumet & Ari- zOna has produced 33.99S 900 pounds. an average of close to 4.25gOOO pounds each month.
 Assuming that this average will be maintained for the remaining foul months of the current year. total pro ductiOn for 1918 would be about 51 .O00- 600 pounds as against 61.429. 900 pounds in 1917. In the first six months of 1918 output tOtaleG 2440S. 900 pounds, an average of apprOVi- mately 4.235.00O pounds each month. thus indicating a total of 50.S16.0O0 pounds for the twelve months. and figures for July and August would seem to indicate a final total for the year of not. much above this amount.
 Calumet & Arizona should soon ben eft from it's valuable equity in the New Cornelid property. The latter. although a separate operating com pany is largely owned by the Calumet and Arizona.

Return of Roads safe.

Though the executives Of American
railways will take no steps themselves TO
bring about q prompt return TO private
control, II was ascertained yesterday
that a number OF the leading railroad
executives believed that this return
could be accomplished without insuper-
able difficulties in the way OF receiver
ships OF roads unsoundlY managed in
the past. In fact, those most closely IN
touch with the corporate management OF
the roads are optimistic regarding what
could be accomplished under private
initiative. and. contrary to the mnres-
sion that has been spread abroad, there
are many executives who would welcome
quick return 1t is possible that some
sort OF temporary measure would be de-
vised TO prevent the possibility of whole
sale receiverships. and 1t is believed that
the roads. X turned over TO private con-
troll could be managed without fear OF
financial disaster during the time neces-
sary 10 put through constructive and
remedial legislation. One of the reasons
/ for this optimistic confidence In private
| operation OF the railroads Is linked up
! with the general financial improvement
that would be caused by the confession
that the Railroad Administration had
virtually failed to accomplish what had
been anticipated as beneficial results
during the single year of operation.

Flooded With Missions.

Representatives OF buying commissions
from nearly every country IN Europe
arc in New York to study conditions and
to arrange with bankers for the prompt
extension of credit In fact so many are
here that a banker said: The city IL
flooded with missions" The latest TO
arrive was an Italian mission. which IN
folded a proposition which received
little encouragement. The idea seemed
TO be that local bankers should supply
credit and raw material for the develop
ment OF Asia Minor and that italian tn
terest should supply labor. each interest
to participate In the profits. II was
said that Italy has a large amount ~
surplus labor. which should he put to
work The bankers wondered whether
the project was revival OF the Adalia
Railway. which was projected in Asia
Minor before the war Bankers pointed
out to tho mission that this country
until Il gets on peace basis will have
little credit to spare for any kind of
foreign development and that they at
any rate could not engage In the project
without the cooperation OF the State
Department. Italian bankers, who pro-
tessed lack of information regarding the
mission, said that a survey II now going
on in Italy 10 determine the labor stua :

Is considering vast electrifying projects
