Gates to a party of friends at the Waldorf-Astoria, few nights ago. Developments this week gertainly go a long way toward justi- fying Mr, Gates’s views, The Utah Copper Company, controlled by the Guggenhetms, having just completed a new copper plant, will figure in the stock market hereafter more or less gonspicuously. It is significant, how- ever, that this company ts disinclined to have its shares listed on the Bos- ton Exchange. Too much Lawsonism {n Boston perhaps! The Utah Copper ‘Company produced about 15,000,000 Pounds of capper in 1905 and the new plant at Garfield is expected to great- ly increase this output. The Lewisohn interests in Copper an- corporation whfch will be affiliated with copper companies in other Gtates. It |: intimated that a large holding company will take over practically all of the Lewisohn mining interests, including the ‘Tennessee Copper Company.

The floating of the securities of the new holding company will doubtless depend on the extent to which popular and speculative interest in the copper shares fs developed in the New York Stock Exchange. Some interesting figures are given out conceming the enormous timber pos- sessions of the Amalgamated Copper Company, ‘This company, it is as- serted, controls a larger quantity of standing timber than any other con- cern in the world. It is now cutting about 200,000,000 feet of tumber annually and will be able to continue this pro- duction for the next twenty years The Anaconda Company cuts all of the timber used in the mines and has consideraible excess to sell in the open market. Last year the Anaconda cnt between bixty land seventy millions of cubic feet of timber. Expert mining engineers declare that it will take at least six months more to determing definitely the value of the recent “rich strike” of copper in the Anaconda mine. This statement may account for the curfous fluctuations and spasmodic weakness of Anaconda shares. At the close of the market yesterday H.
