E. S. Hewitt & Company, Chitina, Alaska, Nov. 11,1916.
Juneau, Alaska.
Dear Sirs:
Enclosed find check for $44.50 for balance due on my new “Silent Smith.”
I am well pleased with the machine. Find it to be just what you represented and better
than that, I have learned to like it and find it faster than the Underwood. I gave it a very good
test during the election. Took seventy-seven bulletins and all commercial work besides. I
will always have a good word for the L. C. Smith hereafter. Very respectfully,
F. W. S.
Call at our office and inspect this high-grade typewriter and satisfy yourself that it is the best.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—As the re
sult of a series of conferences that
has been going on for the last week,
an unofficial agreement was reached
yesterday afternoon looking to the
organization of the greatest copper
corporation in the world.
Formal announcement is not ex
pected until next week. Changes may
be made either by omitting or adding
companies, but the merger as now
proposed comprises the Kennecott,
Braden, Utah Copper, Nevada Consol
idated, Inspiration, Chile and Cerro
de Pasco.
The market value of the issued cap
ital stock of these companies based on
yesterday’s prices is nearly $700,000,
000. The market value yesterday of
the U. S. Steel Corporation’s out
standing common and preferred stock
was $1,071,318,000.
The merger’s estimated output of
metal for 1917 is about 860,000,000
pounds, or about a third joi all the
copper to- be pt#ducedjnext year on
this hemisphere. Details follow:

Total .. .$699,012,616 860,000,000
* Owned by Kennecott.
At 30 cents a pound this copper
would be worth $258,000,000. As the
average cost of production by this
combination is not more than eight
cents a pound, and certainly not more
than ten cents, even including selling
costs, the profits estimated for the
combination in the year 1917 will be
not less than $172,000,000.
Ryan Approves Plan.
One of the final conferences was at
the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co.
The fact that John D. Ryan, president
of the Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany, was called in led to a report
that the Anaconda would be included.
It was learned later, however, that
Mr. Ryan was there simply to assure
other producers that the Anaconda as
owner of 150,000 shares of the Inspi
ration Copper company stock approv
ed of what was being done.
The Guggenheims are expected to
contribute to the merger the Kenne
cott, Utah, Braden and Chile. Mor
gan & Co. themselves represent Cerro
de Pasco and Kennecott.. , Cerro de
Pasco, Braden and the Chile are in
the Andes mountains. Kennecott is
in Alaska.
It is believed that Kennecott will be
the holding company and that the
Guggenheims will manage the big
combination. There has been some
talk of including the American Smelt
ing and Refining company, but it was
said last evening that a strong senti
ment prevailed among the producers
in favor of leaving the great smelting
company independent.
Working Out Prices.
Prices at which the various compa
nies will be included are not announc
ed, although some of them have been
worked out. It is understood, for in
stance, that the Chile convertible
bonds, of which there are $15,000,000
outstanding, will be taken in at 175,
| at which price an option has been giv
en on the majority of them.
The Chile company owns the great
est ore body ever discovered. It has
already developed 300,000,000 tons of
two per cent ore and the borings have
not yet reached the limit of this de
posit. Braden and Cerro de Pasco
are comparatively new mines with
vast ore reserves. Until these South
American ore bodies were discovered
the Utah company was believed to
have the most extensive ore deposits
in the world.
HARDLY SPORTSMANLIKE.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—William Wad
hams, 38, was arrested as he stepped
from prison and charged with failing
to comply with the conscription act.
Though Wadham explained he had
been confined since .1913 and hadn’t
heard of conscription he was fined $10
and impressed into the army.
WAR ODDITY.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—London has
one sleeper whose repose cannot be
fractured by noisy Zeppelin raids.
That snoozer is Gwendolyn, the great
tortoise at the Zoo. She has just drop
ped into her winter nap, leaving a call
for April.

Another very successful meeting
was held by the Odd Fellows last BJon
day night. It was decided that all
new names sent in for the charter
class must be in the hands of the or
ganizer, P. S. Hunt, on or before Jan.
1st, 1917, and.that the former resi
dence and reference must accompany
the name as well as a portion of the
fee, at least $5.00, the balance being
due on or before Feb. 15th, next.
Several new names were added to
the list as usual, making the lodge a
certain success.
The Monday evening meetings will
all be open to the new applicants as
well as Odd Fellows. Friends desir
ing information are welcome, as no
business of a private nature will be
conducted. 119

Are You Successful?
Jf you are not successful—who is to blame? You
notice all around you successful men—don’t
you ? Many of them have had no better oppor
tunities than you—some of them not as good.
I1 he successful man avails himself of his oppor
tunities. The unsuccessful man does not. One
of the opportunities that make for success is a
Bank Account. Have you one at this Bank? Try
it for a year. Tue note the progress you have
made.
A Bank Account is the Ladder by which
many men have mounted to Success.
