Cominco Stocks _
Being Downgraded

Apart from the handful of

firms still making good money,

> Canadian mining stocks are

being downgraded by the ana-

lysts almost as determinedly as

> they were being upgraded at
the start of the year.

Latest to. fall from favor
are two majors, Cominco Ltd.,
the mining arm of Canadian
Pacific Ltd., and Hudson Bay
Mining & Smelting, which is
effectively controlled by Anglo
American Corp. of Canada.

Mines and metals analysts
of Richardson Securities of
Canada have changed their

ion for C

cents per share “may be more
representative of subsequent
quarters into 1978 than the
spectacular $1.25 per share of
the 1977 second quarter.”

James adds that, although
Cominco’s longer-term stamina
in the Canadian mining market
is relatively good, “the prob-
ability of a dividend reduction
in the last half and-or 1978
could deflate the stock in. the
near term.”

So far he's proved both
right and wrong. Cominco has
again reduced its zine prices in

the key U.S. market, but has -

“avoid” from “hold,” and, for
HBMS to “hold” ‘from “buy”. .

For Cominco, David. R.
James says “recent incremental
inereases in producer prices for
lead will be more than offset by
‘the deterioration of zine mar-
kets through 1977.”

He considers that Comin-
co's ‘third-quarter net of 57

held its 1) common

dividend at $1.16 for the second

half.

The. share price, $28%
when James changed his. re-
commendation, was $29-5/8 re-

cently in a 1977 range of $38-3/8

- $27-5/8.

James sees Cominco ear-
ning $3.10 per share this yeary
225 next.

Warfield Celebrates
25 Years of Progress

Twenty-five years of pro-
gress was celebrated. by the
Village of Warfield Monday of
last week when the council was
host to more than 100 residents
and guests at a special silver
anniversary celebration at the
village office reception rooms.

Held in conjunction with
the inauguration of the 1978
village council, the affair was
highlighted by presentations of
commemorative jewelled pins
to Warfield's three former
mayors, to its first fire chief
and to a retiring alderman,

Larry Krause, Harry
Simpkinson and Arnold Laur-
iente were recognized for their
long terms of office as mayors
in the village and Eddie Mur-
doch, first fire chief; was com-

mended for the work he had

done in organizing and main-
taining the volunteer fire de-
partment in, the area's early
days of settlement.

Dick Guillaume, who has
been an alderman for 16 years
and served the village in other
capacities prior to that, was
praised for his unstinting ser-

vice by Mayor Isidore Muzzin. _

Five Million :

Five million Canadians—37
