SWINDLERS GET MILLIONS
FROM VICTIMS LAST YEAR

CHICAGO. May 6.-The American
confidence man reaped a harvest OF
more than $4,000. 900 last year. ac-
cording to figures compiled by Chi
cago authorities. This is the approx
mate amount actually collected from
the credulous public by professional
confidence operators and does not in
clude the millions gathered in an
nually by the various stockjobbing
schemes.
Fear of publicity keeps most victims
quiet, thus giving the high-class con-
fdence man a certain degree Of i'm
munity, authorities say. They add
that federal prosecution for using the
mails to defraud has been big factor
in breaking up gangs and recently
brought about conviction OF half a
dozen leading confidence workers.
1t Is estimated that 100000 Of the
$40. 100000 total was obtained In
Florida, where hundreds OF confidence
workers are said to operate. particu-
larly among winter tourists.

CONTROLLER CALL
ISL|KELY At ONCE
Junior Bank Officers Hoped
for Delay Until After
Loan Activities.
LOCAL DEPOSITS LARGER
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The forms usually used in prepar-
pairing information in response to the
call from the controller of the cur
rency for a statement OF condition
were received by Washington banks
late yesterday, which would seem to
Indicate a call within the next day
or two at the latest. Junior bank
officers whose duties include the
preparation of these reports have
hoped that the controller would hold
off until the victory liberty loan was
a matter of history, but they fear
that the extra work involved in the
compilation of returns will be called
for during the current week.
Under the law the controller must
call for a statement of the condition
of the banks under his control five
times yearly. but it has been his GUS
tom during his term of office to call
six times. which requires a record
every sixty days. The last call was
for the condition report at the close
of business March 4.
Since that date deposits in Wash
ington banks are believed to have
increased very largely. In savings
banks. trust companies and national
banks as well. Should the statement
be called for before the 10th instant,
1t would reflect the initial payments
that have attended the subscriptions
to the victory liberty loan.

Banks to Get Tax Money.
The Secretary of the Treasury made
glad Washington bankers by assur-
ance this morning that they would re-
ceive their usual allotment of rade-
posits of District tax money. This
will give the banks some S4,000.000 of
added funds at 2 per cent, which can
be used to good advantage in these
days of strenuous activity.
The redeposit Of the money will be
made 25 per cent May 20 and there
after 25 per cent weekly until the
full amount has been returned to the
banks.
In the matter of repayment local
bankers were given no specific in
formation. In former years up to
1918 payments in return were carried
on in installments late into the fall,
but last year the department set no
dates but called for the return Of the
cash as desired. The same method of
procedure will be in effect this year

the time is near when associations of

FIGURE IS
 REACHED IN STOCK
 OF NEW CORNEL|A

By selling at 25A recently, New Cornelia touched a new high since the company was formed, an advance of 10 points from the low last February. This steady appreciation in the shares of the company is but natural re- flection of the improved copper mar ket and the promising outlook for the company.
 In the first four months of the cur rent year New Cornelia produced 14,- 654,000 pounds of copper, decrease of 1,392,0O0 pounds from the same months of 1918. This decrease is di- rectly due to the plan which most of the leading copper companies inaugu- rated to keep production within bounds, until conditions surrounding the copper trade showed a change for the better From now out it is expect ed that the output of the company will show an improvement, for with ad- vancing quotations for the red metal it is obvious that the corner has been turned.
 In February of this year New Cor nelia ran its production above the O0O,000-pound mark, dropping its out put almost one-half this amount in March and April. This total, however, is an indication of what may be ex- pected when the proper time arrives for maximum production. 4
Bisbee daily review., 1919-06-22
PRICE OF COPPER NEARING 20 CENT
 MARK; STILL LOW

Eighteen cents a pound was being asked by some copper interests or August deliveries recently and it was reported that these agents were unwil ling to accept orders for June and July shipments under 17% cents It seems certain that copper will go to 20 cents in a couple of weeks, if one may judge from the past action of the cop per price. The day to day quotations for the past few weeks, at least, have shown steady upward advances. No one knows what the morrow will bring forth.
 Even at 20 cents a pound, copper producers will not be receiving the price of the last few years. Here's what three copper producers got for the metal the past four years, in cents a pound:
 1918 1917 1916 1915 Inspiration .24.77S 26,366 25.393 19.449 Kennecott .24,42S 27,015 25,SS0 17,996 Utah .22,S76 24,1S6 26,139 17,679
 Inspirations best price for the pe- riod was 26,336 cents in 1917, the low est being 79,449 cents in 1915. The average price received in the four years was 23,996 cents per pound, or nearly cents a pound above yester- days August delivery price. Kenne- colt received slightly better than zI cents pound in 1917, or about cents above the 1915 figure. The average price for the four years was 2S,S29, a fraction under Inspirations average price. These two companies receiveu an average of nearly cents a pound more than the predicted 20 cents.
 Utah Copper's best prices was in 1916, namely 26,139 cents a pound. In the other three years the average re- ceived was lower than that reported by Kennecott and Inspiration. The average price received in the foul years was 22,72, we'll under the aver age of either of the other companies. In 1914 Utah received an average price of 13,256 and in both 1913 and 1912 the average prices was above 15 cents. The average prices received in the sev- en years was 19 206 cents pound this figure being more like the 20 cents a pound expected shortly.
 There is not much question but that present cost of producing have scared away above figure for recent years. It seems certain that the smaller con- panies cannot we'll produce at profit even with the copper price at 20 cents. Has any one predicted 25 cents a pound for copper?
