MAY MAKE STRICTER
NSTALLMENT LICENSE

Representative Cary. who drafted
the bill to license and regulate in
stallment houses in the District, an
nounced yesterday that he will
urge the adoption of a more strin-
gent provision in his bill, which will
relegate installment dealers who re-
clean goods that have been taken
back and resold, in the same class
as secondhand Dealers
The bill as 1t now stands limits
profits on goods sold on the partial
payment plan to 80 per cent, and
also requires a license fee of $500,
and prohibits the sale of more than
5000 worth to any one person.
Hearings on the bill will probably
be held the latter part of this week,
and 1t is expected that representa-
tives not only from local business
establishments will be heard, but
out-of-town business men as well.

JEROME SHELTERS IN AUG. PRODUCED OVER
 12,OOO,OOO POUNDS
ASTOUNDING TOTAL IN VIEW OF NEWNESS OF EXTENSION SMEL- TER MADE 5Lic AT BIG NORTHERN CAMP; SHOULD BE GREATER THIS MONTH

JEROME, Ariz. Sept. 28-The two sme.ters of the Verde district produc cd I2.510.0 00G pounds of copper m Au gust. This breaks the districts rec lrd for 9 single month by several hun d.ed thousand pounds.
 This is the astounding total dis. closed by the August production fig. ures of the United Verde and United : erde Extension companies, which have just been available for publica. tion
 Tie Uaitcd Verde broke all it's pro- duction records by turning out 7,- 910,000 pounds of the red metal Its U tput the previous month was, in round figures, six and three-Quarter million pounds. This month it should go over S.OOOOOO.
 Two blast furnaces anu three re- yerberatories were operating at the United Verde company's Clarkdale plant, the same as usual. No increase ln Jhe capacity of the shelter ac- counts for the increase in prOduc- i1n. The facts are that the plant is being operated on a wartime basis. q maximum of efficiency. and that orr cf a little better grade, on the aver age, is being treated. Ore hoistea rom No. . shaft, recently completed. averages a little higher than that from other par,s Of the mine and sweet ens' the mass.
 Only a single blast furnace is be- ine operated at the Verde plant of the United Verde Extension com pa1v. Last month it treated ore which averaged around 15 and 16 per cent copper. far higher than the United Verde ore. Officials of the cowpany estimate that the Septem- Der production will be somewhat low 'r tLan that of August because the copper content of the ore under treat ment is a little less. It will be over 100000 pounds. however. and pro5- bly, the increase at the U V will bring the total September production Of the Verde district to a figure high cr than the August total
 There is no chance that the rever- beratory of the Extension smelter can be brought into operation this month. Officials will not hazard a guess as to when it will be ready. but it is hoped that it can be blown in next month. With the reverberatory aud the blast going at the same time. the Extension shelter will be able 10 maintain a much better average DrlductiOn

FOUR LEADING
 PORpHYRY MINES
 HAHE DIVIDENDS
Utah, Ray, Nevada Consoli- dated and Chino Fail to De- viate From Usual Annual Rates

Four of the leading prophyry cop per companies Utah, Ray Consolidat- ed, Nevada Consolidated 2nd Chino have just declared quarterly dividends at unchanged annual rates. Ana conda and Inspiration directors will meet soon to authorize the quarterly disbur ements on the outstanding stocks of their companies There ap- peais to be no question about the abilityj of AnaConda to maintain its SS annual dividend and DO change in the quarterly rate is looked for The relatively low price which Inspiration commands in the markel is due to some apprehension lest it's dividends be reduced. say. to $6 per annum- It IS well to consider the investment value of the stock in terms of lower rate, and in this connection is the fact as a SC stock, Inspiration would be on practically an identical yield basis with An2colda and most Of the ether leading coppers.
 While Inspiration is still handicap ped by shortage of labor. production during the elapsed eight months of the cuTren year has been at the annual rate Of about 116,0J0,000 pounds, which compares with 120,793,U00 pounds in 1916 and with S0,566 9S2 pounds last year.
 Miami; A new high record for months production was established ly the Miami Copper company last month, and should the pace set dur ing the fiIs- eight months of the eur rart year be continued during the re- maining four, Miamis output for the year will be approximately 60,J00. 900 pOulls, the best :. has ever done.
 Thus far this year. Miami has re- ceived an average price of twenty-fOur cents a pound for it's copper. On the basis of 6C,O00,OO0 pounds, the current dividend requirement is equivalent to about five cents per pound. leaving nineteen cents to cover costs. These totailsd twelve and a half cents last year It is said that Miami's costs this year nave not risen in the same pro- portion as those Of most other copper producers. so that the nineteen-cent margin above the dividend require ment should be sufficient to provide for a reasonable surplus.
 In the matter of cost regulation, Miami is more fortunate than other properties many Of which are limited Co but one method of mining Miami has at least three, and just now the least costly one Is being used. While the grade of ore is lower, a greater tonnage per man Is being mined. so that the shortage of labor has been somewhat offset.
 Last year the Miami property was revalued to conform to the govern ments regulations governing the im- position of the excess profits tax. Mine property was reappraised at S2l,- 964 o26. At any rate, estimates of this years tax are being made along new lines. and interests identified with the company are figuring on 50 per cent tax on income. after allowing for a 10 per cent exemption based upon the amort.zed value Of the actual capital invested. This will mean tax four or five times that paid last year; but
