John A. Davis Says Govern ment Should Erect $9,- 100000 Power Plant
 In the Interior

ST LOUIS, Nov. N.-The Ameri- can Mining Congress in session here passed a resolution asking Congress to build and improve roads in gold districts. Statistics were submitted to show that lack of roads and trans portation have kept back most of the mining districts and that 90 per cent of the present gold producing districts are still practically inac- cessible
 John A. Davis, superintendent of the Government Experimental Min ing station in Fairbanks, and .presi- dent of the Alaska Chapter, at the American Mining Congress in session here, warned the delegates that un- less power became cheaper, in the far north, Alaska would lose its good mining industry and it's population. He declared that the Government had been too autocratic towards Alaska. He said he does not believe there is a need of change in man. agement so much as in methods, to make gold mining come back. He said methods of applying the rules of conservation should be made more practical and less unpopular, with a view of encouraging capital which Is needed for development work. "Unless there is more democracy in industry there can be no industrial peace for the world" he said. One of the great problems should be solved in Alaska, he said, if the Government erected a $9,000,000, ,0O0 power plant for mining purposes. He declared that electrical power could be generated and manufactured al one-fourth or one-sixth of the present cost. He was speaking of interior Alaska conditions. He said the plant
 should be built by the Government
 because it was the most vitally in terested in the future of Alaska. He
 said the Government today is build ing a railroad from tidewater to tho interior at a cost of $52.000,000 and
 that 1t must go further in helptint
 to build up industries and provide freight.

Tobacco Products Preferred

Question-Does Tobacco Products
preferred appear to be a fairly good
investment? Is there any provision
that the preferred stock shall share in
the earnings above per cent after
a certain per cent has been paid on
the common? If not, why should it
have sold higher this year (120) than
ferred stocks or U. S. Steel preferred i?
Why does Calumet and Arizona, re-
duced to per cent, sell higher rela-
tive to its dividend; that is. at lower
Yield per cent, than Anaconda, Cerro
de Pasco or Utah? Is the security ap-
parently better or the dividend policy
more conservative? What is your
opinion of it as speculation com
pared with the other coppers named p
c. H. B.
Answer-Tobacco Products preferred
may be considered a fairly good in
Vestment. 1t does not share in divi-
recently because rights were given pre-
fcrred as we'll as common stockhold-
ers to subscribe to both Philip Morris
q Go. and Tobacco Products Export
Company stock. After the rights ex-
pired the stock sold down, and subse-
quently has been depressed, along with
other investment issues. Calumet and
arizona Mining Company in 1914 Sc
cured control of the New Cornelia Cop-
per Company, which is expected to be-
come one of the greatest properties in
the Southwest when copper conditions
return to normal. The stock of Calu-
met and Arizona undoubtedly sells at
the present high figure, not because of
its earning power now, but because of
IT'S valuable assets. and, too, because
tne STOCK Us IS largely held by strong in
terests. We understand that Cerro de-
pasco has an unusually good organiza-
ton and is able to produce at a yerv
low cost. All things considered. We
would rather favor this stock to the

Position of Metal Stocks

Questlon-Will YOU be so kind as to
glye me your candid opinion concern
ing some Of the stocks that | hold :?
Several years ago 1 bought Interna-
alcla4 Nickel mmon at AZ. 1t mas
since dropped tremendously. Do Won
believe that it will recuperate and
again reach that high price. or wouId
IT be better to sell at sacrifice =?
What do you think of Anaconda
bought at 80? And Cerro de Pasco at
90? DO you consider Chile Conner a
good speculative stock at the present
price ?-E. c. C.
Answer-All metal stocks have been
greatly depressed for some time past.
The price of copper has steadily de-
clined and production has fallen off.
international Nickel two years ago did
large foreign business, but the for
elgn demand has groun pocr. The do
mestic demand is said to be better in
the last few months, resulting in an
operation of SO per cent Of capacity
against 33 l-3 per cent few months
ago. For six months ended September
80, 1919, the balance for the common
stock was S510,602, against $2,4l5 .905
for the like period in 1918. The other
stocks you mention have discounted
more or less the metal situation. Cerro
de Pasco is said TO be able to operate
al tar lower cost than the others. We
rather favor this stock NEST, while we
believe that Nickel, Anaconda and Chile
should do better after a more normal
situation develops.
