Church Family Newspaper, NEW YORK, MARCH 7. 1913. The main developments of th week, a we see them, have been the Inauguration of the new president and'tho further showing of Increased money stringency in Europe The president's Inaugural speech Indicated perhaps, a little more suggestion of fairly definite Ideas regarding Ms policies, but the markets have Mill to await th con crete Application of his views In the way of specific reo ommendatlons later to nrrlve. It can only be said, that his remarks have been received fairly favorably, while the composition of the cabinet an relating to our corpora tion affairs, suggest a continuance of thoso ideas which have been so effectively carried out by the retiring at torney general. As to Kurope, we estimate that the melons there, In eluding Japan nnd China, represent monetary demands totalling the enormous sum of J00, 000,000 to S700,000,0, nnd where all this Is to come from Is a bit of a puzzle confessedly, promising surely, no early relief of contlnen tal congestion, while in our own trade situation, we tdiould be taking Fu rope's gold, instead of shipping abroad to assist their shortage. Th Southern Pacirle plan Is still hanging, tire and it looks as if a change thereof will be as likely ns not. In other directions, the January net returns of our railroads and various Industrial reports make a most happy show ing, with pig Iron and steel highly active nnd most trades reporting prosperous conditions. The weather news on the- winter wheat remains favorable, while the western roads will have their hands full for months handling the wonderful agricultural output of laM year. Hut us to the market. It remains the miserable spine less affair of weeks and weeks past. Its apparently strong t clinical position develops nothing In the way of bull Inla tive of advances of anything but a trifling character, but, nevertheless, the sum of the whole proposition still sug gests that the buying side Is worthy of close consideration. "N. 'J. linim of Miller & Co BOSTON, MASS., MARCH 7, 1913. f The Copper Producers' association February statement showed a decrease during the -month In surplus In this country of 896.134 pounds and Is a good one. There la every reason to believe that the decline In copper metal prices has been arrested: In fact, the price. 6f the metal abroad has been advanced from 14. (it) to 15.10 cents with in the last five days following substantial sales both her nnd abroad. There is a good demand for copper abroad, particularly for early delivery. A great scarcity of old metal Is developing and con sumers aro now buying refined. Reports of production for February by Chlno and Ray Consolidated showed Incroase ot'er January, former showed Increase of nbout 930,000 pounds; latter about 25..,OOo pounds. Moth theso properties are looked to Increase production for 1913 con slderably. As to the copp r share market I can but say they should be cheap. , Present level Is below July, 1910, when world's copper surplus reached Its maximum; the surplus copper at that time was 401.249.9iJ7 pounds, representing approx imately seventy days' supply bused on the world's con sumption for that year, while, the present copper stocks nrt equivalent tm but thirty-three days computed on the 1912 world's consumption. Copper shares are selling lower than nt the time of the severe break in July, 1910, despite the fact that tin copper situation is in a much stronger position. Copper shines are advancing In price. While there will be reactions from time to time, It la generally believed the upswing hi started for some time to come. With the metal at 15 cents, the producing properties can all earn from eight to twelve per cent t.n th present selling price of their stock. J. H. CODY, of Miller & Co. stand why the actual mining costs have Increased from less than 13 cents In 1911 to over IC cents In 1912. This advance can only partially be explained by th Increase In wages the rhortage of trammers Is another reason given, though the report states that this shortage of trammers has been fell, during the summer months for several years past., . We are those of the opinion that this company can be made to enrn money; nt least this property, including; tim ber, mill and water rights should b worth $1 .'0,000, which Is the price it Is selling nt according to present market quotations. The net loss for Uie year's operations was $37,000; the extraordinary expenses making up part of this loss were the following Items; Settlement of law suit, $10, 800; construction, $19,000. and employees' liability Insur ance, $r,900. This lenves the company with practically no working capital, and It means either an assessment cr some special efforts to Increase production at reduced costs COPPER RANGE This property is rapidly bring brought back to shape, nnd will scon be In a position to BVe a good account of Itself again. During the past year n expense ha.4 neen spareil on equipment where there was a possible chance of making for the reduction of costs. The results of this will be shown first in the Ualtic mill, where- 14 llardlnge mills have been lnstulled, two at each of the four smaller heads and three at each of the two Nordberg heads. These grinders are ex pin-ted to make an additional saving or iraclh'ul'y three pounds copper to the ton, whli-h has heretofore been lost in the tailings. The tables to handle the slimes from these mills nre being tuned up this week, and before tiie end of March the maximum raving should be In effect. The Champion and Trimountaln mills are also being equipped with similar grinders, but work r installation at the. lattir mills has not progressed as far as it has at ine name, and it will probably be two (r three months before the proposed milling work has been C4mpleted. Steam is being kept up at the Atlantic mill, presum ably for fire protection only, as no 'milling Is being done since Superior changed its rock shipments to the Alhiuez Centennial mill. While all these Improvements hue been going on at the mills, the mining end has by no means been neglected. During the past year, openings ahead of shipments have been greatly Increased, and at the present the Copper Range Consolidated mines are in nearly as good a shape as they were four years ago. This allows for the better selection of slopes to keep up an average yield per ton of rock, and not as it was two years ago, when the open ings were so limited that It was necessary to ship from till slopes regardless of whether or not the rock was lean. At present prices Copper Ranee Consolidated Is paying better than 6 per cent. ami. from ,h l'uliar A PARIS PROBLEM.

FOR SALE BY Leading Dealers TAMARACK According to advices from the east, the annual report of this company was published yesterday, and shows a net profit for the year of $271,625.' This is the llrst time for several years Tamarack has i-hown figures on the right sldn of the ledger nnd stockholders have reason to feel gratified. The net profit this year of $271.C25, compares with a deficit of $201,172 last year, and Is about $4.50 per share on the 00,000 shares outstanding. This Is one mining company that has reaped the full benefit from the high nelling price of the metal. WARREN AND DSNN These issues continue In Rood demand on the expecta tion of an early announcement of a similir deal as that given out by the American Saginaw company. Jt certainly would seem as If both Dmn and Warren are worth their present prices. If American Is worth $lo to Calumet A Arizona, and with the, expansion policy inaugurated by the Calumt & Arizona ir the Hisbee camp, there is some ground for the rumors. Roth Denn ami Warren cot Id be worked more advan tageously from Calumet tv Arizona shafts than as indi vidual properties. Calumet & Arizona is already 11 largo holder of Warren. The revival of some of the oh) properties in this dls trkt continues t go on. The latest announcement Is the taking over or the lllgglns group of claims, whl.Ji lies 01: the eastern portion of the camp A company has been organized capitalized Ur llOn.ooo to work the property fir Its lead and silver values on a loyalty basis, and It Is lirmly expected that with depth copper ore will be found In paying quantities, similar b. that opened up by Shat- tuck, an adjoining properly. VICTORIA The annual report for the year ending December 31 has been received by tockhold-rs. It Is by no means as flat tering as was expected ;ln fact. It Ii discouraging. While It Is true labor difficulties greatly hindered operations at this projierty during the past year, ami further that thr yield per ton continues low, there should be no reason why this property cannot be pl.iceil on a self-sustaining basis when it Is considered their fuel account for power pur- p4.ses is an Insignificant Item. F.ven with a 1 "i cent selling price ror their copper In 1912, they only got n new dollar for an old one. Their mining cost nlone was about 15Vj cents per p4und, not Including smelterlng. freight and eastern ofn.ee expenses, which amounted to two enls per pound. The miscel laneous ltm which amounted to $11,f.97 reduces this cost In round numbers to lC"i cents per pound, at which price the copper was sold. To one who has taken the I trouble to look Into this proposition, It la hard to under. LAKE We understand that In a very short while, lake's rock shipments will be sent to the llaltlc mill of tins Copper Range Consolidated, Instead of the Champion mill, where it is nw being treated. The advance in this Issue from its low figure of $12 b very gratifying to stocklndders. We understand that the break in Jike was caused by the liquidation tf th holdings of an eastern estate, at ri time when the Ken eral market was not In Phipe to absorb It readily. TONOPAH BELMONT According to Tonopah papers, the decline In this Issu was occasioned by the liquidation of the stock holdings of the late Colonel Pope, of Houghton, Mich. It Is mated some 10,000 shares were thrown on the market, most o" which was taken In large blocks at $7 per share. Pel mont will sell ex-dlvid.nd 2f cents March IT,. The illvl dend Is payable April 1. AMERICAN-SAGINAW The stockholders' meeting to ratify the propised sale of the property to Calumet & Arizona will be held March ir. 1 ntiou oteuiy tne deal will go through. With Calumet &. Arizona selling at its present price, there Is a small margin of profit in selling Calumet &. Arizona and pur chasing about Fix times .is many American, providing it can be picked up under $10.
