VIEWPOINT
CHICAGO, Sept., 4, (^—Mem
bers of the American Bankers’ As
sociation will visit leading cities of
[the country on their way to and
from the San Francisco convention
opening September 30.
Thru Craig B. Hazelwood, presi
dent of the association, and Jo£n
G. Longdale, first viec-president
and other officers, the bankers
have been notified of nine special
tours arranged by railroads and
steamship companies.
Advance reservations indicate
attendance will be large despite the
distance eastern bankers must
travel. There are approximately
20,000 members in the association
and the number answering the roll
at conventions has varied in the
past from 2,00 to 10,000.
Officers of the association believe
that bankers are more eager than
ever to keep abreast of progress in
cities other than their own and to
get acquainted with distant parts
of the country.
The spread of chain banks and
the increasing size of banking op
jeratons have made it necessary for
bankers to cultivate a national in
stead of a local viewpoint.
SPOKANE BROKER
MARVELS AT LARGE
!
SPOKANE. Sept., 3. (/P)—1The Al
aska-Juneau mine at Juneau, Alas
ka, operated by the Fred W. Brad
i ley interests, has two tunnels—one
designated as the 70-cent ore tun
I nel and the other as a $1 tunnel.
As they penetrate deeper such
values continue steadily relates
j Henry A. Pebles, mining stock
broker, who viewed the mine and
great mill recently.
“The mountain is penetrated for
about three miles,” he said. “Thru
the mill, 10,000 to 11,000 tons of ore
are put daily. The concentrate is
shipped to the Bunker Hill smelter
at Kellogg, Idaho. In the mill I saw
| about 440 tables and was told that
| they make a higher saving on ore
I of this kind than flotation.”
Mr. Pebles’ statement on the
volume of the ore is borne out by a
report on the Alaska-Juneau
Co. It shows that 305,800 tons of
ore were mined and trammed to
the mill in June. The receipts
from this product were $276,500,
the operating expenditures $162,700
or 53.20c a ton, the operating
profit $113,800 or 37.21 cents a ton,
other expenses $12,300 and the sum
creditable to surplus $101,500.
