Seattle Journal
Soundly Roasts J
John Ballaine
(Railway and Marine News)
The public cares little about John
E. Ballaine’s vicious attacks upon the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the
Post-Intelligencer, the New York firm
of J. P. Morgan & Co., or the Alaska
Syndicate. They can ably defend
themselves. As a campaign speech,
by which the former Spokane man
hopes to get into congress, it may be
helpful among the socialistic and ig
norant classes. But in his wild state
ments Ballaine quotes Secretary Lane
most inadvisedly. Ballaine claims that
Secretary Lane stated that the con
certed opposition to the U. S. railroad
in Alaska had been so powerful and
successful that to date (August) no
firm, person or corporation had so
far been induced to lease any coal
lands in the Matanuska field, and the
government must mine the coal. We
do not think Secretary Lane made
the such statement. If he did it was
a blunder and it is a worse blunder
Great Prosperity
In Mining Industry
Throughout U. S.
(Mining and Scientific Press)
The prosperity of the raining indus
try is indicated by the large dividends
paid during vie first half of 101 6.
Contrary vo v.'l -'t mibl,l be supposed,
the Anaconda did not pay the great
est amount, but ranked below several
others, including the Utah copper.
This company distributed $8,034,695,
while Anaconda paid $6,993,750; this
in spite of the fact that Anaconda is
producing copper from its Butte
mines at the rate of 165,000 tons per
year as compared with the 100,000
tons of the Utah mine. Incidentally,
Anaconda’s July dividend has been
postponed to August. The first place
as a dividend-payer is held by a zinc
producer, the New Jersey Zinc com
pany, which paid the tremendous to
tal of $18,200,00. Another notable
zinc mine, the Butte & Superior, paid
$5,862,993 in six months. Phelps
Dodge & Co., which is a holding com
pany, paid $5,400,000. Kennecott, an
other holding company, paid $7,000,
000; and the Guggenheim Exploration
paid $10,713,456. In Michigan the
Champion mine on the South Range,
exceeded the Calumet & Hecla, pay
ing $3,720,000 to the latter’s $3,000,
000. Among other noteworthy cop
per-mining companies, the Calumet & i
Arizona paid $2,565,676; the Miami
paid $2,054,563; the Nevada Consoli
dated $2,500,000; the United Verde,
$1,395,000. Among precious-metal
mines the Hollinger at Porcupine paid
$720,000 and the Dome $400,000. The
Homestake paid $979,524; Kerr Lake,
$300,000; Nipissing, $600,000; the
North Star, $100,000; Santa Gertrudis,
a Mexican mine, paid $364,500; Seneca
Superior, which has completed its ca
reer, paid $335,219; Tonopah Belmont,
$562,500; Tonopah Mining company,
$300,000; Tough Oakes, $132,875; Yu
kon Gold, $525,000. In the Coeur d’
Alene, the Hercules Mining company
surpassed the Bunker Hill & Sullivan,
paying $1,450,000 which exceds its is
sued capital, to $827,500 of the Bunker
Hill company, while the Interstate
Callahan, a zinc mine in the same re
gion, paid $2,394,970. A California
quicksilver operator, the New Idria,
paid $200,000, which is 40 per cent on
its issued capital of $500,000. The In
ternational Nickel corporation had a
prosperous half-year, paying $5,705,
876. Among the less fortunate com
panies is Goldfield Consolidated, which
paid $300,000 in 1915, but is temporar
ily off the list. So also the Tennessee
Copper company passed its regular
July dividend, as did also Utah Con
solidated. The Engels Copper compa
ny, on the other hand, paid an initial
dividend of 1% cents. All told, 1915
will be much surpassed by 1916, as the
dividends for the first six months al
ready exceed those for the entire pre
vious year.
for the talkative Ballaine to repeat it. i
By that one statement he “spills the
beans” and it will always be remem
bered that he was the first one to real
ly prove an obstacle to the success of
the whole project. The talk of oppo
sition is all moonshine. Everyone is
eager to see something done in and
for Alaska. We have frequently stat
ed that Ballaine is the worst enemy
of Seward and of the railroad project
and now by his obsession and hatred
lie is led into a public statement that
is most unfortunate. If in August,
1916, no private individual or firm has
taken any coal lease, where does the
railroad project get of? How can the
administration make good its promise
to deliver the coal at tidewater this
fall ? Is the government going into
the coal business? If so, what pri
vate company or individual would be
come a customer, or who would then
compete as a lessee of coal lands''
Give a certain demagogue rope
enough and he’ll hang himself. It
looks like Ballaine must immediately
“deny” the statement if he ever ex
pects to make headway in Alaska.
Such an admission means that the
chief purpose of the railroad is a fail
ure at this early date and no person
wants to think that. Ballaine’s friends
should call him off this “boomerang”
argument.
