GRANBY PLANT IS
GREAT SUCCESS
Can Lay Down Copper In New York
for 8Zz Cents Per Pound—Not
able Profits In Sight.
TORONTO, Ont., April 12.—W. H.
Robinson, vice-president of the Gran
by Consolidated Mining, Smelting &
Power company, states that copper
can be laid down in New York from
the plant of the Anyox, British Co
lumbia, for 8M cents per pound.
With the market price of copper any
where between fourteen and fifteen
cents per pound it can be seen that
the company is in a position to make
a good profit at present market
prices.
The Granby company now includes
a relatively small number of Canadian
shareholders, the shares having very
largely passed into the hands of
American interests. When the late
Mr. Miner, of Granby, Que., was a
prominent factor in its affairs, there
were numerous Canadian holders, but
they sold out for the most part.
The Hidden Creek reduction and
smelting works were completed last
year and were well under operation
before the end of the year.
The company has ore reserves of
23,101,075 tons and last year pro
duced 23,320,097 pounds of copper,
435,275 ounces of silver and 43,882
ounces of gold, the ore treated
amounting to 1,289,000 tons. Last
year’s cost of production per pound
of copper is 11.5 cents for the en
tire works of the company, but, as
above stated, the plant at Anyox has
got the cost down to 8% cents and
hopes ‘o do bet’er
LANE AGAINST THE
RUSH TO ALASKA
Issues Warning To Men Who Would
Go North—Says Work Won't
Justify Rush.
WASHINGTON, April 12.—Secre
tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane,
who has charge of the building of a
government railroad in Alaska, issued
a warning today to the people who
proposed to go to Alaska seeking em
ployment believing that the starting
of the railroad would result in em
ployment for everyone who asks it.
Lane states that the amount of
work planned this summer does not
justify many people going to the
north and insists that the people who
wish to seek their fortunes in Alaska
think well before they go to that
country.
Otto Zilberman left this morning
for his mining property near Teik
hell. He expects to do considerable
development work during the coming

INDIANAPOLIS, April 12.—Mayor
Roberts, of Terre Haute, was senten
ced to serve six years in the feder
