PACIFIC MAIL DIVIDEND.

Pacific Mail directors meet tomor-
row to take action on the semi
annual dividend.
Six months ago a dividend Of 80
cents a share was paid in addition
to an extra disbursement of so cents.
This. however, was a reduction of
80 cents compared with the semi
annual payment of a year ago.

clared tomorrow is a matter of con-
lecture in view of the present de-
preston in the shipping business and
the consequent poor operating re-
suits.

Utah Copper directors meet early

a quarterly dividend of 81 a share, the
same as was paid three months ago
Previous to that the company had
paid $3.50 share quarterly.
The company can produce at slight

the optimistic statements Of Vice
President jackson it is felt that the
company will make the current pay
ment from it's surplus, hoping that
future payments can be met by an in
