FOREIGN BROKERS
MANIPULATE PRICE
OF the RED METAL

TUCSON, Ariz.-Cleveland E.
Dodge. vice pres. Of Phelps Dodge
Corp, said today faulty judgment
of copper market conditions and a
group OF merchandise brokers in
Europe. who are trafficking in other
commodities as well as copper,
caused the present radically increas-
ed price Of copper.
1.-The market changed so sudden
ly". Dodge said, I'VE were unable
to meet the new conditions with a
supply of copper.
HAD we been able to judge
conditions better perhaps we could
have kept the price on a more
even level.
'The American people have never
ne said, chat there is
in Europe a group of brokers who
control the price of commodities to
a great extent. It is these men
who have run the price of copper
up. not the producers.

DON'T THROW AWAY
MINING-OH STOCKS

Don't throw away either your old
Montana gold mining company
stocks or your Canadian oil company
stocks.
This admonition comes from
Helena where the Legislature may
enact a law providing for the sale
of property of corporations which
have been dissolved. Funds de-
rived from the sale of such proper
ties would be divided among stock
holders of the original corporations
and unclaimed funds would go to
the state school funds. Many good
mining properties are tied up in de-
funct corporations and there is at
present no method prescribed for
making the properties active, &C
cording to Senator Paul W. Smith,
father OF the senate bill.
Canadian oil stocks have come
into value again as new area in
far western Turner Valley have
become highly valuable. Back In
1914 many of the promoting gentry
secured leases on lands so far dis
tant from the area then supposed
to be the oil field that it almost
amounted to obtaining money under
false pretences. Today these
worthless" leases are among the
most valuable in the field. Title
still stands in the old defunct cor
poratiOns.
