Show PURIS AFFECTED BY MEXICAN WAR Five Smelters Included in Company's Properties Closed Down. The order sent out. by the American Smelting & Refining company to clofo all Its mines and smelters In Mexico has brought out many Inquiries as to tho extent ex-tent of tho company's holdings in that country. A compilation and statement on the subject has been made by Thompson, Thomp-son, Towle t Co., which says the American Amer-ican Smelting & Refining company owns in Icxico five large smelters, thirty-five mines scattorod throughout, the country, of which twenty-six were producing prior to the revolution; four separate lines of railway, numerous warehouses, storage plants, company offices and other holdings. hold-ings. Tho greatest outlay of tho company Is represented In ita smelters. These, with accessory plants, aggrcgato some S10.000.-000. S10.000.-000. In tho case of the mines, thn value of the surface plants and destructible property is placed at between $3,500,000 and $4,000,000. Of tho total property in the republic, two out of five smelters, twenty out. of twenty-six operating mines and one of tho railway lines are situated In tho territory now held by tho constitutionalists. con-stitutionalists. Below wo glvo a list of the various holdings with approximate, figures of the outlay at each of the plants: SMELTERS, Aguascallcntcs 3,000.000 Monterey 2,000,000 Velardcna 2,000.000 "Chihuahua 1,500,000 Matehuala 1,000,000 Total ,?0.500,000 MINES.

The four lines of railway which the company operates have the following lengths In kilometers: Aslentas. 15, Mexican Mex-ican Union, 27; Velardcna, 2S: PotosI Central, Cen-tral, 15, Of these, tho Velardcna alone is situated In the VUIa-Carranza domain. Judging from the stand taken by the constitutionalists toward tho "United States, It is doubtful If American plants situated in territory now held by them' would suffer to any extent because of hostilities between the countries. Of tho total surface Improvements of $9,500,000 at tho smelters and approximately approxi-mately $4,000,000 at the mines. $3,500,000 of tho former and S2,S00,000 of the latter lat-ter represents properly In the constitutionalist constitu-tionalist territory. Should the plants In federal territory be attacked, it is doubtful doubt-ful if the damage to the smelters would exceed 60 per cent of the total, or $3,600 -000. In the case of the mines, the dam-ago dam-ago to surface improvements would probably prob-ably not greatly exceed $1,000,000. In addition ad-dition to such losses, there would be railway rail-way destruction and flooding of the mine?. It will be seen from the abovo that with tho destruction of the plants In the federal domain tho total loss would probably prob-ably bo in the neighborhood of $1,600,000, or. Including: the railway and expense Incident In-cident to the flooding of the mines, the total would probably be brought up to something over $5,000,000. ITevadas in San Francisco.
