Arc About Ready to Produce 25,000,000 Pounds of Copper Yearly. Some weeks ago the Pioneer referred to the possibility of a consolidation of the B.C. Copper and the Dominion Copper Companies, and the following from New York, compiled to a large extent from the recently issued Pioneer Annual, and based on ��� what the two corporations have accomplished, as well as on what they are expected to do in the future, will be found of in terest in this connection : New York, Mar. 1.���There are rumors of a merger of the British Columbia Copper Companyand the Dominion Copper Company, and the talk is not | 560. At 7 '/[ the stock of the Dominion company, with its $1,000,000 of bonds, are selling at a market value of $4,625,- 000. The present market value of the two companies combined is$8,903,1560. There are 135,000 shares of Granby stock outstanding. At $150 the company is selling at a market value of $20,- 250,006, or a difference of $ 11,346,440. The Granby company is at present paying dividends at the rate of 12%, and it is expected that it will earn during the coming year at the rate of 24% to 30% on the stock. The smelting plants of the British altogether without foundation. ' Colnmbia and the Dominion compan- It can be stated with authority. ies are but _a .short _ distance apart. authority, however, that no definite steps have been taken or overtures, with a view of consolidation, yet been made by either of these two interests, There is reason to believe that a consolidation of the companies may take place, however, during the coming year. A combination of the smelters and mines of these companies would result in an enterprise that would compare favorably with the Granby company, both as to size and the amount of output. The Granby mines and smelter are located in the same district in British Columbia, as are the bulk of the British Columbia and all of the Dominion properties. The maximum capacity of the combined smelting plants of the B.C. and Dominion companies is 3,000 tons ore per day. With the furnaces working at their full capacity they should pro duce at least 25,000.000 pounds of copper annually. This production is figured on a recovery of only 20 pounds of copper per ton of.rock treated, which is undoubtedly two or more pounds less than w'hat is ' actually recovered from these bres^ J" ,7 J - - �����"���'���'. -' . -PROSPECTIVE EARNINGS." ��� I As both companies anticipate reducing the cost ol producing copper to eight cents a pound with their improved smelting plants, the above mentioned production (25,000,000 pounds) would give the combined companies' net earnings of $3,000,000 or 30% on a capitalization of $10,000,000; 25% on a capital of $12,000,000; 23% on $13,- 000,000, and 20% on $15,000,000. Placing the recovery of copper at 22 pounds per ton cf rock treated, the annual production with present facilities would be approximately -27,720,000 pounds of copper. Figuring again on a 20-cent market, with cost of production at 8 cents, the net earnings would be $3,326,400 or 33% on a capital of $io,ooo,oco; 27% on $12,000,000; 25% on $13,000,000; 22% on $15,000,000. With a yield of 24 pounds of copper to ton of rock treated the production would be increased to over 30,000,000 pounds of copper, and the net earnings $300,000 to $3,628,000. The Granby ores yield on an average 24 pounds of copper to the ton treated, and there is a good possibility of the combined Dominion and British Columbia companies' ores being made to yield a like return. QUESTION OF CAPITALIZATION. While there is nothing at present to base any assumption as to what a British Columbia-Dominion company consolidation would be capitalized at, the foregoing figures are presented merely to convey an idea as to what the earning power of the combined companies would be under the various capitalizations mentioned, with their present mining and smelting facilities and with copper at 20 cents per pound. Including the recent stock issue of the British Columbia Copper Company, there will be outstanding 503,360 shares of the total authorized issue of 600,000 shares of the company. There are 96,640 shares of unissued stock in the British Columbia treasury. COMPARED WITH GRAN11V. At 8)4 the 503,360 outstanding shares have a market value of $4,278,- The former is located at Greenwood and the latter at Boundary Falls, three miles distant. Both plants are on the same branch of the Canadian Pacific MINES IN SAME DISTRICT. Al Deadwood, three miles from the B. C. Copper Co. smelter, is located the Mother Lode group,'the principal mine of the B. C Copper Co. This mine is thoroughly equipped, and a large tonnage ot ore is being taken from it daily. Directly adjoining the Mother"Lode group is the Sunset group of mines, owned by the Dominion company, which includes the Crown Silver, Florence fraction; C. O. D. and Sunset mines. Important developments have taken place in these properties during the last year. The Dominion company owns the Morrison group, which is also located in Deadwood camp. At Summit camp the.British Columbia company owns some very valuable properties, which include the B. C. group, the Oro Denoro and the Emma group, the latter of which the company owns a three-quatter^intbrest. .In .this same camp is located the Mountain Rose mine, which is owned by the Dominion company. Summit camp is served by both the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern railways. GREATER ECONOMY POSSIBLE. It is quite obvious that, with the smelters and a number of the mining properties of both companies in such close proximity that larger operations with increased results and a corresponding degree of economy would occur un der a single and capable management. Following are the approximate areas of the several groups owned by the British Columbia Copper Company: ACRES Mother Lode group 80 Emma group 140 Oro Denoro 50 Napoleon group 100 Lone Star and Washington .... 30 Total 400 The properties owned by the Dominion company cover some 500 acres in area, and all are located in the Boundary district. The Brooklyn, Stemwinder, Montezuma, Idaho, Standard and Rawhide properties are located at Phoenix, and adjoin on two sides the Granby mines. The claims in the Sunset group adjoin, as before mentioned, the Mother Lode group of the British Columbia company. The Dominion company also owns the Morrison group in Dead- wood camp, and control in the Athelstan group in Wellington camp, and owns the Mountain Rose in Summit camp. During the past year both companies have remodeled and thoroughly modernized their respective smelting plants, and when these improvements are completed the plants will compare favorably with the best in British Co lumbia, namely, the Granby smelter. Under the conditions noted, it seems that a consolidation of the two companies would result in a strong combination, and with efficient management would, in a short time, make favorable comparisons with its very successful neighbor, the Granby Consolidated.

It is expected to have two furnaces in operation at the B.C. Copper Co.'s smelter early next week. This week the Granby No. 3* tunnel has been worked with three shifts lor the first time in some months. A Greenwood syndicate is being formed to work the Dimond fraction, which adjoins the Providence mine. The B.C. Copper Co. has about 50 horses hauling ore from the Napoleon mine to the Great Northern, over bad roads. Granby's shipments for February��� 28 days���were the smallest for many moons, being but 32,465 tons, thanks to the crippled railway traffic generally. It is said that the ore now being worked on in the Strathmore is exceedingly rich, running high in native silver. About 15 men are employed at this property. From Greenwood comes the report that the B.C. Copper Co. will mine and ship some of the sulphur ore from the Morrison mine, Deadwood camp, for a time, while the roads to the company's Napoleon mine aire in such bad shape. Ore is being stoped from the Riverside and Badger group, near Rock creek, and shipments are to be made before long. This is 'the high grade galena group that was bonded to P. J. Dermody and Spokane associates for $60,000 a short time ago. It will be a month or two yet before the mammoth new furnace is ready for smelting operations at the Dominion Copper Co.'s Boundary Falls smelter. The delayed car loads of steel and other material having finally arrived, no time is being lost in the installation. On the 1st of April the final payment of $3,000 on the $30,000 bond on the Skylark mine will be due, and the company now has the money in the bank to meet it. For the last thirty months the company has paid $1,000 per month on the bond, and has taken it out. of the mine. In about two weeks Manager Hodges "expects -to- be prepared- to operate-all- eight of his battery of enlarged furnaces at the Granby smelter, when he can handle about 3,000 tons of ore each twenty-four hours. It all depends on the supply of coke as to the time of getting the complete battery in blast, the railways falling down somewhat this week again. Development at the Jewel mine, the only property being worked in Long Lake camp, is reported to b�� showing up very satisfactorily under R. R. Roberts, the superintendent. This property, which was formerly owned by the Jewel Gold Mines, Ltd., is now said to be controlled by W. Galloway, a banker living in Scotland. Last week a rather bad rock slide occurred at the B.C. Copper Co.'s Mother Lode mine, by which the ore crusher building was damaged and put out of commission for a few days. A slide had never occurred there before. Fortunately, no one was hurt, the men in the building being warned by unusual noises as the rock began to give way. The active work of laying the six- inch compressed air line from the Dominion Copper Co.'s new Idaho compressor to the Rawhide mine, some thing over a mile, is now under way. When completed and' the compressor is in operation, the Rawhide will be operated with more machine drills than at present, to supply the increased ore tonnage. The new electric hoist for the Moreen mine, Deadwood camp, being operated by the Alliance Gold and Copper Mining Co., has arrived at Greenwood, and is being placed in position at the property. A. J. Morrison, the superintendent, is preparing to resume active operations at the property, where extensive development will soon be under way, some men going up to the mine this week. Officials of the company are expected in the Boundary from Minneapolis in a few days. New Officers for Miner*' Union. The semiannual election of Phoenix Miners' Union No. S, W. F. of M., took place here last Saturday, and there being considerable interest in the outcome, a large vote was polled. The following were chosen to have charge of the affairs of the union for the ensuing six months : President, W. J. Louttit; vice-president, Dan Paterson; financial secretary, Walter Morrison (re elected) ; recording secretary, Carlton H. Cook ; assistant recording secretary, D. J. Weir ; treasurer, Walter S.

GRANBY C0.'S N0.6 DIVIDEND $405,000 Declared this Week. Brings Total Dividends Up To $2,158,360. Last Tuesday at the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Granby Consolidated, held at the company's New York office, 52 Broad way,.a regular quarterly dividend of two per cent was declared and an extra dividend of on 2 per cent upon the par value of the stock outstanding,, payable out of the net earnings of the company on March 30th, 1907. For this purpose the transfer books of the company close March 15th and reopen April 1st. As there are now -issued 135,000 shares ofthe new par value of $100, this dividend amounts to $405, 000, or exactly the same as for eaJch of the four dividends declared, by this company during 1906. The company's first dividend was paid in December, 1903, and was at the rate of one per cent. For the lest two or three months the company has been operating with great difficulty, owing to weather conditions and car, fuel and coke shortage, common all over the west, and it must be pleasant to shareholders to note that, notwithstanding these adverse matters, the company is able to continue its dividend,.' paying policy. With the above difficulties done away now very shortly, it would not be surprising if the June extra dividend was larger than the one per cent now declared in this way. The stock is now oh a regular eight per cent basis, with ���'extras" liable to be added at the time of any regular declaration. . This makes more thin $2,000,000 that the Granby will have paid in profits to.the shareholders, the payments and amounts jbeingJas follows : .

S ADOLPH SKRCU. *; Nervous Prostration IT IS WORRY THAT KILLS, NOT WORK Work without worry usually tends to prolong life. On the other hand, worry, with or without work, is fatal, because it uses up what the Doctors call the " Lecithin," a phosphorized fat which is the chief constituent of the brain and nervous system���a waste which, if not stayed in time, means complete nervous wreck. The evident moral is "don't worry"���advice easy to give, and in these days of stress and strain practically impossible to take. The alternative is : find some way of replacing the wasted Lecithin���the phosphorized fat.

Harry L. Rogers, of Butte, backed by Montana arid New York capital, recently took a five-year lease and an option to buy the Republic mine in that camp for $50,000, and it is reported the purchasers are furthering a deal to take over and consolidate the principal mines of the camp, including the Quilp, Pearl Consolidated, Ben Hur, Trade Dollar and Tom Thumb. It is also stated that a 500-ton mill will be constructed at a cost of about $250,000, and that the expense of treating the ores will be less than $3 per ton. It may therefore be possible to mine and treat Republic ores at from $4 to $5 per ton, which would permit of a profit, without counting on new developments. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is Both Agreeable and Effective. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no superior for coughs, colds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing in any way injurious has made it a. favorite with mothers. Mr. W.

It is especially successful in cases of croup. Children like it and my customers who have used it will not take any other." For sale by all druggists.

The London Mining Tournal, tbe oldest and most conservative publication of its kind in the world, recently had the lollowing about the Dominion Copper Co. and its properties : Attention has recently been directed in influential quarters to the prospects of the Dominion Copper Co.���a concern which, as its name implies, is working under the British flag in a colony remarkable for its great mineral wealth���and inquiries having been made as to the position and character of the undertaking, the following details, based on official statements, will doubtless be of interest to our readers. The kernel of the position of the company, which is registered under the laws of British Columbia, is its possession of properties containing large deposits of low grade copper ore that are being worked at an ample margin of profit, and furthermore, the strength of its financial position, the $750,000 remaining in the coffers of the company enabling the necessary provision to be made for the progressive increase and improvement of the plant which is essential to cope with an expanding scale of operations, without trenching upon profits available for dividends. The present and prospective growth of the company's operations forms the most striking feature of the concern. Until recently the plant had a capacity of 650 tons per day, and the net earnings for the month of November last were $30,000 upon this basis. As a resnlt of arrangements made for increasing the output, the blowing-in of an additional furnace early in the present month will increase the capacity to 1,500 tons a day. Taking, however, an average of 1,20c tons of ore treated per diem, thus making a liberal allowance for the minor accidents which are certain to occur in the conduct of a big industrial enterprise, the company will produce between 750,000 and 800,000 lb. of copper per month, at a cost carefully calculated at 8 cents per lb. Upon this scale of increased production, and assuming that no further diminution of reduction costs occurs, the net earnings will rise from $30,000 per month on an average to $75,000 or $80,000, sufficient to pay 14 percent, upon the pat value* of the stock, and a substantially higher percentage upon the present price of the shares. With copper reckoned at its present price the return would be still higher. Speaking of the recently added furnace, M. M. Johnson, the company's consulting engineer said: "This new furnace will give us an additional capacity of from 700 to 900 tons per day, or a total capacity, with the furnaces now running of frem 1,300 to 1,500 tons daily. The new furnace will be mechanically fed, eliminating hand labor almost entirely. As soon as practicable, the mechanical feed will be applied to the furnaces now in use also." The operations of the company, however, are projected upon a far broader scale than this, and plans are being prepared and estimates being made for the increase of the plant to a capacity of 3,000 tons a day. With a capacity of 3,000 tons of ore.daily the Dominion Copper Company would be in a position to produce 25,000,000 lb. of copper per annum. On 18-cent copper this production would give the company net earnings of $2,500,000, or 50 per cent on the par value of the stock���$5. per share. These are big figures, and point to the expansion of the concern upon lines of great magnitude ; but it is pointed out that they are carefully calculated from data composed of the present product of the company combined wifh the known ore content of the mines and the designed capacity of the additional plant. Already the smelter .and mines are equipped with the most modern plant, driven by hydro-electrical power, which has resulted in reduced costs. The properties of the company are situated in British Columbia, Canada, and cover an area of 360 acres. They adjoin the property of the Granby mines whose ore values are the same as those of the Dominion Copper Company, and who have a smelter capacity at the present time of 2,700 tons per day, while their net earnings were over $1,850,000. The company's chief mines are the Brooklyn, the Idaho and the Rawhide. The Brooklyn has been the principal producer to date, averaging 500 tons of ore per day. There are calculated to be 450,000 tons of ore in sight above the 400-foot level. The average values in this mine are returned at: Copper, 1.43 percent.; gold, $1.32; silver, 25 cents. The Idaho mine is a most.important asset, and is confidently expected shortly to produce a large tonnage daily. Cross-cuts show ore bodies similar to those in the Granby's mines, which - adjoin this property, and from which 2,000 tons per day are being mined. The Idaho claim is 1,500 feet square. Describing the situation at the chief mines, Mr. Johnson recently said: "The Rawhide mine is looking well. We have pushed development work on this property during the past few months, and the .surface work 13 very satisfactory. We are getting a splen did tonnage of ore there,'and the four tunnels are opened up all in solid ore. We expect to take about 4C0 tons a day from the Rawhide when the new furnace is blown in. We are getting the most of our ore at present from the Brooklyn. The Idaho and Stemwin- der claims are being rapidly developed. We are taking about .50 tons a day from the Idaho, and the shipments from this property will be gradually increased. . " Important developments have taken place at the Sunset, group, which includes the Sunset, C.O.D., Florence Fraction, and Crown Silver claims. The ores from this ^roup run heavy in iron, and have been* used only as a flux, but during the past 60 days the copper content in these ores has increased, and it is now running between 1.14 and 1.25 per cent, copper. There are good indications that .these ores will show increased copper values at depth. At the Athelstan mine the shaft is heing unwatered. This shaft is down to a depth of 250 feet. We will start cross-cutting: at the 200-foot level in order to develop some good backs of ore." With the present figures of production and profit dividends are considered to be well within sight, and while the management of the concern is officially silent on the subject, a well known Boston paper reproduces a statement to the effect that the director have decided, barring accidents, to pay dividends commencing with the second quarter of the current year, at the rate of 10 per cent, on the par value of the stock.
