S MINES GRAN BY SHARES CLIMBING FOUNDATION FOR NEW SCHOOL IS COMPLETED Rawhide Increases Shipments- New Work at Athelstan The feature of the week at Boundary, mines is the increased - activity at the New Dominion Copper company's properties. The ore shipments from the Rawhide to the British Columbia- Copper smelter have jumped to an average of 600 tons for seven days in the week. This has resulted from improved shipping- facilities at the mine by the construction of additional chutes and other development workr The riew work has been decidedly encouraging* and with the British Columbia people in control the property is enhanced as a mine; a progressive policy is being carried out and there is every indication that the Rawhide will be an important producer during 1911. About 180 men are now em- pi oyedy At the Athelstan mine, also New Dominion, some 15 men are employed and preparations are being made to commence shipments, a considerable tonnage having been blocked out. , This property adjoin* the Jackpot^ group in Wellingvbn camp. Ore bins are now under construction at the mouth of the tunnel and from these a short tramway will be built to convey the ore to the C. P. R. siding at the Jackpot for shipment. The new work will be completed by the end of the year, when shipments will commence to the British Columbia smelter. Hedley Gold Mining: Co. The net profits of the Hedley Gold Mining cornpany for September were $27,688* making a total of $197,529 for the first nine months of this year. The company has been spending about $100,000 in alterations, which should be completed about the first of the year. Monthly earnings after the new plant commences operations should average between $35,000 and $40,000. More ore is put in sight than actually extracted and the "in sight" tonnage at the moment is very satisfactory. 4* :���_ Autos for Mining: Companies Two handsome 35-horse power Buick motor cars arrived at Greenwood yesterday, one for the British Columbia Copper company and the other for the New Dominion Copper company. They will be a valuable acquisition at the smelter as well as a convenience for officials visiting the mines. Citizens of Grand Forks last week bought 330 shares of Granby stock on the Spokane exchange at $47. To the Granby shareholder at a distance or Outside men with money to invest this statement will perhaps convey more re-assuring information than a column of reading matter concerning conditions at the Granby properties. The purchasers of the stock referred to above are intimate with conditions at both the mine and smelter. SCARCITY OF OFFERINGS ��� ( Boston Commercial : Granby's sharp advance appears to have been) due to both inside and general buying, and an extreme, scarcity of offerings. It advanced on a very small volume of transactions, this reflecting the great confidence which the stockholders have in the property and its management. Stockholders are to be congratu-. lated on the energy and progressive, spirit shown by the management which they elected at the recent annual meeting. A new property of apparently great value has been taken under^ optrotf^bne-paymettt1 made and the direction of its mining operations taken over, I understand, by Granby employes. Between now and July, when the final payment falls due, the property will be thoroughly tested and its value,, to the extent at least of the price to be paid, proved beyond question. Other desirabJe properties may-be purchased later, with the end in view of giving Granby practically unlimited ore resources, and making it one of the world's very important low cost copper producers. The original Granby ^property, is being explored by diamond drills. Development of its other ^assets will be taken in hand in. due time, and eventually the stock may be worth as an investment the highest price for which it ever has sold. On reactions Granby should be bought, both for speculation and investment;'' PROBABILITY OF DIVIDENDS The following article is taken from the U. S. Investor of Nov. 12, though since it was printed Granby shares have sold up to $47: Despite the general optimistic feeling regarding the ';'position and future of the metal market as a whole, there are doubtful spots in the share market which are in decided contrast to the general brightness. There is, for instance, a pretty general feeling of doubt among the shareholders of . the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power company, largely because of the fact that these shareholders have not as yet recovered from the shock of the now famous Sussman report of last spring to the effect that the company had less than 6,000,000 tons of ore in sight, a report which caused the stock to dive from $83 to $37 per share within, the space of three days. Incidentally,, it has not recovered much of its lost prestige in the meantime, for.-jt is. now selling around $38 per share. Nevertheless, there has been talk, and not entirely without reason, of a. resumption of dividend payments. For the 1910 fiscal year, the company earned $3.80 per share with copper at less than 13 cents per pound, and at the present time,, it is undoubtedly earning in excess of $4 per share. Despite the fact that the'directors failed to take definite action on the dividend at their meeting last week, and in the face of the fact that some important interests in the company have expressed themselves as being opposed to a,distribution to shareholders at the present time, it would occasion no great surprise if a dividend were to be declared at a comparatively"earlydate,;and "be" 'main-, tained. thereafter. Despite repeated evidences that the Sussman report was unduly bearish, or that its true tenor has been misunderstood, the smaller shareholders have never lost the fear that their mine had four or five years more of life, with nothing more ahead of it after that but liquidation, and the insiders are evidently convinced that the best way to bring back his lost confidence would be to return some of the profits to the shareholders. Certainly, the predicted advance in the selling price of the 'metal', would mean a great deal to Granby, and would go far towards removing it from the class of propositions whose .resources have a definite limit, a class in which it has been placed, justly or unjustly by the Sussman report. Contract for Balance of Building To Be Let Saturday The stone foundation for the new school was completed on Wednesday���one month from the letting of the contract. It is not only a substantial but an imposing piece of stonework and will stand to the credit of the school board and of the contractor as well. Contractor P. H. Cosgrove has made a splendid showing with the opportunities at his disposal. Suitable stone is. at a premium around Phoenix, but he secured the best there was and with expert masons the foundation speaks for itself. It was important that the stonework should be completed before the arrival of snow and cold weather, so that'the framework could be* built during the winter, and iu this Mr. Cosgrove has made good. After the letting of the contract excavating had to be done, lime, cement and sand shipped in and stone blasted in order >jf>^proceed.;,,/The foundation is now ready for the framework, the contract for which will be let by the school trustees next Saturday. ^^~~~Boundary Ore Tonnages Following are the returns of the output of the mines and smelters of the Boundary district for the week ending Nov. 19 and for year to date: Granby 18,352 Mother Lode 9,335 Jackpot ..:-.;.... 714 ,Oro Denoro Rawhide .. 1 4,200 Snowshoe . . ... . 2,400 Number Seven... 250 Sally...

Operations on the Greenwood- Phoenix tunnel resumed on Monday, 22 men being employed. A transaction in the-shares of the newly formed Myers Creek Coal and Coke company took place in Phoenix last week, three shares selling; at $31. The Little Bertha mine, on the north fork of the Kettle river, shipped a carload of ore to Granby smelter recently. The ore values ran $40 to the ton. The Tip Top and Bay mines, in Skylark camp, are being operated by small forces. It is the intention to ship some ore by sleighs this winter. Granby's Victoria shaft shipping outlet was idle for a couple of days this week, the crusher being given an overhauling. It is again in operation. Good progress is being made on the tunnel which is to replace the old No. 3 shipping outlet. A raise is also being made which will divert an increased tonnage to the 400-foot level for shipment through the Victoria shaft. 35,25i ,1,478,081 SMELTER TONNAGES Granby 18,655 908,243 B.C.

Fifteen Cent Copper in Slight * So largely does copper enter jrito all branches of the world's work that j its, moyement may be tak.en.as a barometer, of business conditions the country over. If copper is low, it can. be taken for granted that^'practi- callyv-ev��rything;else is low, without a glance at other metals and indus-' trials, iif copper be rising, practically all other stables are sure to rise in sypathy; if it be good for copper to rise, if conditions justify its advance, then the same {>- conditions justify < ah advance in all other speculative,values.. Just now copper is rising, and there is every indication that it will continue to advance in price. ��� Corrective measures have decreased production anil as sales of the copper now visible have increased,' everything portends to a gradual increase in the price of the red metal. Idle ' money would do well to survey the copper.field' before moving. Real estate has its virtues no doubt, but copper shows more virility than any other thing in' view at this time. ��� Conservative investors are gathering up coppers in' preference to other investments for big profits. : Copper is as much of a necessity almost as breadstuflfs, so widely has it entered into the countless forms of manufacturing, and as the demand for it is increasing its price is bound to rise. Fifteen cent copper seems one of the few sure things, aside from lawmaking, tariff discussion and taxes.

Mining- Information Wanted Dear Sir,���Will you be good enough to make public, for the inr formation of those interested in min- F ing in your district, that I shall be glad to receive particulars .of pro- progress made during 1910 at all district mining properties. The information desired is that relative to development work done, ore production"^ any), plant and machinery put in, buildings and other surface improvements made, transportation facilities provided, and all other details showing the year's progress. It will not be practicable for me to visit all the mining camps before preparing the several reviews and summaries I have undertaken to supply, so districts can only have notice in proportion to the particulars received. My views will be given wide publicity, arrangements to that end having already been made, so I hope to receive from mining men in your district the information requisite, to allow of its being given due prominence. Communications should be addressed to me at Nelson; B.C., and to be of most service should reach me as soon as practicable, and not later than the end of the current month, since my "copy" will have to be ready for the printer by the end of the first week in December. In cases, though, where information shall be late, I shall endeavor to use it to advantage of districts concerned. E. Jacobs. Victoria, Nov. 8.

Even the most pessimistic acknowledge the5 originality of the. play, and character. There are; no others just like it. Ole Olson is the play in which the Swedish dialect was,first made use of for stage pur- poses. The central character, is presented with natural dignity and a full appreciation of comecly effects. The: story, of course, centers around "Ole" who is assisted'by a very capable company. During-the action of the play line star will introduce a number of,songs, including "Strawberries," Memories of my Sweidish Home," "Fair Land of Sweden," etc. Specialties will also be given by members of the company.
