Music
Young Pianist Shows, in His Re-
cital, Promise of Future
Greatness in His Art

Mischa Levitzki, who, with Guiomar
Novaes, shares the distinction of being
pianist of the most evident talent
who has appeared in the last two or
three years, gave q recital yesterday
afternoon at Carnegie Hall preparatory
to tour of Australia. Mr. Levitzki
IS sincere, poetic and a polished
artist; he lacks something as yet in
the broader sweep of his art; he paints
with exquisite detail rather than in
broad strokes. AS a consequence he
was at his best yesterday in such
things as the Gluck Brahms Gavotte
and in the Chopin group, notably the
sharp Impromptu, the C minor Noe
turnc and the three Etudes The
Chopin numbers in particular he
played with fine finish, beautiful artic-
ulation and straightforward senti-
ment Yet even in the Beethoven
Waldstcin Sonata there was a high de-
gree of merit, though he probably
failed to plumb all the depths of the
work. Mr.. Levitzki goes to Australia
with our best wishes.
His is genuine, growing talent,
WHICH, unless All Signs Idll, Will DIlNE
him to the heights.
Vladimir Resnikoff, the blind Rus
sian singer, gave another of his re-
ctals yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. Though his voice is far from
being a perfect one, his intelligence,
his vcrve, his Astounding humor,
makes interesting all that he touches,
and he touches nothing that is out of
reach. He is especially admirable in
the folksongs of his native land, and
such was the case yesterday. In the
great Russian "Dubinushka," the Rus
sian "Gypsy," "The Young Pedler,"
the Song Of the Lamites" and in the
group OF Ukraininn folk-songs he was
delightful, as he was in a song by his
accompanist, Oscar +. Schmenke, en-
titled "Mocko, the Educated Ape"
which possessed an infectious humor.
he was warmly greeted by an audi
cnce of moderate size.

Large Production From Bunker
Hill and Morris Claims.

Only a small part of the tonnage.
during October. came from
the Ora claim. from which the min
ing is done by the Nevada Consol-

erty Pit operations Most Of the
production OF 1.479.O24 pounds dur
ing the month came from the COM
pany's porphyr mine in the Bunker
Hill and Norris claims. The re-
modelled mill secured an average
extraction OF 1906 per cent of cop
per from the ore during October.
Development work in the Alpha
mine is encouraging. Drifts west
and north on the 1.20O-foot level
have been in ore averaging 10 per

grade than had previously been en-
countered on this level. The slopes
above the 1,2OO-foot level are en-

CALUMET & HECIAA MINING 90.
Copper Contract Cancellations Not
Large.

Contrary TO expectations this COM
pany and its subsidiaries has not
been in receipt OF cancellations of
copper contracts on a large scale.
Many of the contracts held by this
company are rot cancelable as buy
ers are legally bound to accept de-
livery.
For three years the French gov
eminent has been a very large pur-
chaser of Lake Superior copper.
Calumet & Hecla has sold much of
it's metal to France. and It is believ-
ed that if the inquiry recently made
by the country develops into actu-
al business the Calumet groups will
have no small portion of il.
The declining profits of the last
two or three months may not APP
pear i'm the 1918 reports. but will
be carried over into 1919 business.
Under the bookkeeping practice in
augurated in 1917, the Calumet &
Hecla management treats as earn
ings only the actual receipts from
copper sales AS it takes about two
months for copper TO be turned
into cash, there was in 1917 and
will be henceforth a carry-over Of
no inconsiderable amount at the
end OF each tweive-mOnth.

be a professional market in every

POND CREEK COAL COMPANY.
Dividend Reduction Reflects Unccr-

The reduction in this companys
quarterly dividend from so cents TO
37i% cents a share, reflects the un-
certainty as to the 1918 federal tax
es and the bituminous coal outlook
Pond Creek expects to earn for
the 1918 caledar year. something in
excess of s1.100,OO0. before income
and war excess profit taxes, but af-
ter charges. depreciation, etc. This
compares with $3.50 earned before
federal taxes in 1917.
In 1917 Pond Creek reserved
100000 for taxes, and even on
smaller earnings in 1918 the tax
may be as large. If not larger
Federal taxes bear down particu-
larly hard on Pond Greek. The tax
may runup TO 100000. which
would be more than 60 per cent to-
tai net profits. The balance then
remaining for the stock would be
only 100000, or equivalent to $3.50
a share on the 2Os,90O shares. If
the tax is 100000, as in 1917, the
balance remaining would be equal
10 $40 per share.
