H. ALDRIDGE.\nCaptain McMorland, who Is the representative of the old established firm\nof Laidley & company of Sydney, New\nSouth Wales, passed through Nelson\nyesterday on his way to Europe. Prac-\ntlclally all the lead which Is sold from\nthe Siocan mines and those of East\nKootenay to Australia la sold through\nLaidley and company. Captain McMorland Is personally responsible for the\nbusiness which has arisen between Canada and Australia In the export of lead,\nas far as the Australian market is concerned, while W. H. Aldrldge, general\nmanager of the Consolidated company,\nhas looked after the Interests of Canada.\nThe situation, up to a few years ago,\nwas this: Canada was producing a certain quantity of lead. That quantity\nwas about double the home market demand. Hence, all lead over and above\nthe amount.used In Canada had to be\nmarketed elsewhere. There was no lead\nrefinery In Canada and the Canadians\nhad to take whatever price was offered\nfor their lead ores or matte by the\nAmerican Smelter Trust. Even the\nhome market was not In possession of\nthe Canadians. In one form or another lead was imported Into the country. For every pound of lead thus imported Canadian lead had to find a market for the home product thus displaced\nin foreign countries. But, as Is well\nknown, the costs of living, of supplies,\nand hence of wages, are heavier ln British Columbia than in almost any other\npart of the world where lead Is produced. Hence* Canadian .lead could not\nwell be produced, other conditions being\nthe same, cheaper than in other countries. Thus, there was no profit in selling lead abroad. To gain that market\nthe costs of production had to be lessened, the mines had to be richer and\nthe refined product had to be at the\n. very least as good as anything anywhere\nelse marketed.\nThe problem was a difficult one to\nsolve. The flrst step was the establishment of a small electrolytic lead refinery\nat Trail. The next wns the attempt to\nget a duty on lead products to at all\nevents preserve for Canadian lead producers their own market.\nThe flrst was done. The second failed\nof accomplishment but the next best\nthing was done, which was the receiving of a lead bounty In order to partially equalize conditions between the\nUnited States and Canada. Since then\nthere has been introduced certain\namendments of the Canadian tariff\nwhich have had the tendency to give a\nyet greater percentage of the Canadian\nmarket to Canadians. But for all that,\nthe Canadian market is still partly in\nthe possession of United States leid producers, sharing it, In a lesser degree\nthan was the case some years ago, but\nstill sharing It, with Canadians.\nTbe third step taken was to gst into the\nimposed by the tariff. But no lead\nto be produced so cheaply that It could\nenter .into competition with the lead of\nthe world, especially the lead of Australia and of the United States. The\ncheaper that lead was sold In the Far\nEast the cheaper would bd,lead in Canada, with certain limitations, the limitations, being, to a certain extent, also,\nimposed by the tariff. But If no lead\n' could be sold outside of Canada then\nthe lead which was sold at home cauld\nnot be more than the demand, If prices\nwere to be kept up. But If prices were\nnot kept up, then the Siocan mines, the\nSL.Eugene, could not'operate. Thb waB\nthe case. The St. Eugene and many a\nSiocan mine did not operate. If more\nlead was produced than could be sold\nthe price must drop. Hence the Imperativeness of selling the lend abroad.\nThe nearest market Is that or China.\nBut In China there were two strong\ncompetitors, aB already stated, the United States and Australia. Australia produces more lead than it consumes. It\nexports lead. The situation looked hopeless but it was not.\nFive years ago, W. H. Aldrldge, of\nTrail, came to an arrangement with\nLaidley and company of Sydney. A am ill\nshipment of Trail lead was sent ln on\na government contract to Captain McMorland, who thus found a market for\nIt. In the meantime, through an arrangement with the Selby people of San\nFrancisco, Trail got a similar footing ln\nChina. Having a market for Kb lead\nTrail could afford to take more ore front\nthe Siocan and could operate Its own\nproperty, the St. Eugene, or a larger\nscale.\nCaptain McMorland in explaining\nthese circumstances yesterday to a Dally\nNews reporter, In so far as they related\nto Australia, was loud In his praises\nof the exceptional executive ability of\nths man, W. H. Aldrldge, who had\nthought out the whole scheme, and proclaimed him one who deserved much ot\nCanada.\nHe said that while Australia was exporting'lead, lead that wm every whit\nNEISON,  a C**   THURSDAY,  MARCH   J9. i*:ft\nas cheap and every whit aB good as\nCanadian lead, yet he was able to take\nCanadian lead and take It In ever increasing quantities. At first there was\nonly the small shipment on the government contract referred to. Now the firm\nof Laidley and company were handling\nquite 100 tons monthly. In four or five\nyears the trade had grown to this extent. He foresaw great possibilities. He\nwas now travelling for his firm. So far\nAustralia had done little or nothing\nwith Canadian silver. That time waa\nto come. Australia was about to put\nup a mint. But there was no silver refinery In Australia. Canada hat* a stiver refinery at Trail, That was the\nwhole situation in a nut shell.\nCaptain McMorland .leaves this monitor eastern Canada and Europe, on his\nway back to Australia, and his thorough\nknowledge of the situ-tfion gained by hla\nenlightening tour will do niuch towards\npromoting a better and a larger trade\nbetween Canada and Australia.\nELECTION ACT\nAmendment Regarding Holding of Bye Elections\nDAY OP PRIVATE MEMBERS\nMUST HAVE PUBLICITY\nBUSINESS   MEN   WANT   THE   WORK\nSTEADILY PROSECUTED\nIMMEDIATE   AND   THOROUGH   CANVASS FOR FUNDS TO BE MADE\nThe attendance and the enthusiasm displayed at the meeting last evening to consider the question of perpetunttng the. publicity bureau augured favorably for tho\ncontinuation of the good wo.k begun by the\n20,000 club.

F. H. Graham\non Christian Science. Every seat in\nthe hall was filled and even standing\nroom was at a premium, many being\nturned away. After .the lecture was concluded the chairman of the meeting,\nE. A. Crease, asked for the expression\nof Individual opinion, especially that individual opinion which might be in\nfavor of Christian Science, but there\nwas no response forthcoming. Rev. J, T.\nFerguson, upon a call from one of the\naudience, uaid a few words but his utterances could not be Bald to favor the\nfollowers of Mrs. Mary G. Baker Eddy,\nbeing an endorsatlon of the speaker\nof the evening. The lecture was one\nof the longest which the speaker had\never delivered and dealt with the subject with considerably elaborated detail\nbut nt the same time depended upon\nthe Btrength of its argument rather\nfrom the cogeny of multifold criticism\nthan upon any generalization of the position of the FlrBt Crurch, as Church is\nunderstood by Mrs. Eddy.\nBeginning with an explanation that\nthe lecture must not be mistaken as\none undertaken in any controversial\nspirit but as one entered upon at the\nrequest of certain members of his congregation who were puzzled and of the\nChurchmen's club, who wanted a lecture on any subject. Rev. F. H. Graham\nproceeded with declaring that he meant\nto treat his address under three heads,\nthe one .being metaphysical, the second\ntheological and the third therapeutical.\nUnder the first head Mr. Graham was\nunderstood to treat upon the claims of\nChristian Science from the purely scientific point of view, a standard \\o which\nall religious and other systems in the\nworld must be subject and one with\nwhjch the Christian Scientist must not\nbe discontented inasmuch as it claims\nItself to be scientific.\nChristian  Science, said the speaker,\nclaimed to be a system for the Interpretation of Scripture.      The interpreters\nwere Mrs. Eddy and her book.     One\nthing  was  plain,  that  these  declared\nthat there was no sto, no sickness, no\ndeath.   The metaphysical system began\nby declaring that there were four postulates on which all was founded   These\nwere:\n\"Cod is All in All.\"\n\"God Is Good: Good is mind.\"\n\"God,  Spirit,  being all,   nothing  is\nmutter.\"\n\"Life, God, omnipotent Good, deny\ndeath, evil, sin disease. Or, Disease\nsin evil death deny Good omnipotent\nGod life matter is nothing all being\nSpirit God Mind \\s good is God all In\nAll is God.\"\nThis statement could be read backwards of forwards, as Mrs. Eddy Insists\nnnd it would work the same. That\nsame Mr. Graham declared to be astonishingly incoherent and supremely self\nconfident with other utterances of the\nlady.\nThe first principle of the book was\nthat there was mind and nothing else.\nYet though tbere was no body, the whole\nidea of the book was to show how to\npreserve bodily health. Apparently\nwhat takes the ptaco of \"body\" was\n\"mortal mind.\" What \"mortal mind\"\nmight be was hardly elucidated. There\nwere plenty of defln tlons. These\ndetlu'tlons did not agrse. Mater\ncpuld not proceed from mind but\nyet according to the definitions \"mortal\nmind\" was the origin of spirit. There\nwus first \"mortal mind,\" which was all\nthings that were bad. There was another stage in which certain good qualities evolved from this \"mortal mind.\"\nThese were all transitional. Then there\nwere good things of the spirit which\ncime afterwards and \"mortal mind\" disappeared after having given these good\nthings of the spirit birth. That is to\nsay spirit was evolved from matter. Ye'\nmatter had no existence. From nothing came notblng. After giving other\nexamples along the same line the speak-\ned came to tbe toncluB'on that the metaphysics of Christian Science had no existence. The only accounting for the\nphenomena of the universe was \"mortal\nmind,\" which wns \"nothing claiming to\nbe something.\"\nNext the speaker dealt with ttt. claims\nof Mrs. Eddy fiom a theological point of\nview. Mrs. Eddy maJntained that her system was Christian, It certainly wns not\nscientific. Was It Christian? Well, It was\nopposed to Catholic doctrine as exempl fled\nIn the Nlcene cr.-cd. M.s. Eddy declared\nthat Ood Is infinite\u2014is love, but not per-\nsonul love. Now, how could love exist\nwithout a person on whom to lavish love?\nMrs. Eddy declared that God was not\nand could not he the creator of matter\nwithout being responsible for matter. But\nthe Catholic church taught that Uod mnde\nnil things, in the heaven above and in the\nearth beneath.   Mrs. Eddy denied this, the\ned her system was a* syBtem for the better\ninterpretation of the scriptures, in a similar manner, Mr. Graham traversed the\nteachings of the book, from a theological\nstondpoint, showing that there waa not an\narticle of the Christian belief, including\nthat of the divinity of Christ, of the Trinity, but which Mrs. Eddy denied and he\ntherefore claimed that \"Christian\" Science\nwas not Christian.\nDealing somewhat shortly with the third\naspectof tho subject, that of therapeutics,\nthe lecturer showed that while Mrs. Eddy\ndenied that there were such things as sin\nor disease, yet the bible said that there\nwere and Its teachings showed that they\nshould be dealt with humanely, God only\ncoming m to help where help was beyond\nthe powers of man. The speaker had seen\na child choking to death with diphtheria\nand its parents distracted at its bedside.\nYet, Christian Science would declare that\nthere wns no diphtheria. Nevertheless,\nmankind wouid bless God for the discovery\nof nntl-toxln, which had removed tbe\nsting of thnt dread disease.\nThere had been cases of cure by Christian Science. Tlie great majority of these\nwere cures of hysteria and allied nervous\ndiseases. Nature, after all, cured nine-\ntenths of disease. Faith cure was known\nlong before 1809, tbe foundation of the\nQulmby-Eddy theory.

It would be\natrange indeed if this were not the case,\n\u25a0Nowadays publicity Is the very llfeblood\nof all industrial undertakings, without\nit there must be stagnation and retrogression. ThlB is true of every commercial undertaking and it Is equally\ntrue of a young and growing city, whose\nprime requisite Is greater population.\nThe tone of last evening's meeting\nwurrants the assumption that the committee appointed to solicit contributions\nwill meet with generous support and\nthat a sufficient sum will be guaranteed\nto pay current monthly expenses and to\nprovide an overplus that ln course of\ntime will wipe out outstanding liabilities.\nBusinessmen and property owners\nwho are really desirous of having a publicity bureau kept In regular operation\nmust seize upon the opportunity that\nwill be presented by the canvass of the\nspecial committee to contribute as generously as they can. There Is no time\nto be lost If the canvass about to be\nmade fall to secure a sufficient sum\nthere appears to be no alternative to the\ndiscontinuance of the publicity campaign and the sale of the club building\nto pay off outstanding liabilities, an outcome that would be anything hut a\ncreditable showing for a city like\nNelson.      \t\nCANADA'S PROUD POSITION\nThe fairly full telegraphic summary\nof finance  minister Fielding's budget\nThe Bestv Investment In the District\nFOR SALE, large block of land, In 10-acre blocks, adjoining \"Riverside Nurseries,\" near Grand Forks B.

Sept. 1st, MM,\nspeech we were able to give to our\nreaders yesterday morning must have\nbeen read \u25a0villi extreme gratification by\neveryone, Irrespective of party affiliations. Canada's financial position was\nshown to be exceedingly strung, our\ncountry weathered the financial storm\nln a manner that afforded the most satisfactory proof ot the excellence of its\nfinancial Institutions. The finance minister was able to point to revenues largely ln excess of his estimates and to expenditures that fell below the total he\nhad provided for, aB well as to a substantial reduction ln the public debt.\nWhilst expenditures have grown enormously, as la unavoidable ln a new and,\nhappily, rapidly growing country, still\nIt Is gratifying to know that they are\nnot ln excess of our revenues and that\nconcurrently with huge outlays upon remunerative public works our finance\nminister Is able to keep within Ihe revenues and even to make some appreciable decrease ln the public debt.\nHon. W. S. Fielding haa earned a\nmost enviable reputation during his long\ntenure of the responsible office of finance minister of Canada. From tha\nsecond year of his taking over the administration ot the dominion finances,\nMr. Fielding has been able to declare\na surplus each successive year and his\nsurplusses have steadily grown, the last\nbeing the greatest since confederation,\nalthough for a nine month period only.\nBut the mere fact ot there being a\nsurplus Is by no means the chief or the\nonly cauBe for congratulation. Ur.\nFielding haa displayed a singularly brilliant capacity to grapple with financial\nproblems that necessarily confront a\ncountry like Canada and It can ln all\nhonesty be said today that no country In\nthe world can boast of a better financial\nstatus and very few of as good.\nEDITORIAL NOTES\nThe leases by fire ln the United States\nand Canada for February amount to\n118,489,700, a sum quite up to tbe aver\nage of this usually disastrous month for\nfire losses. For the two months already\ncompleted this year the loss has been\n148,072,000, which is ln excess of the\nsame months ot any year, except 1904,\nwhen the Baltimore conflagration\nswelled the February figures. January\nwas a disastrous month. The New York\nJournal of Commerece says there were\nlast month 400 fires where the loss\nreached 110,000 or over ln each case,\nthe largest swallowing up 1640,000; and\nthe number ot Area of all kinds and\nsizes was greater titan usual. Fires ln\nFebruary, 1907, swallowed up.$19,876,-\n600, and In February, 1906, $18,249,000.\nThe present year has opened badly; and\nfire insurance companies cannot hope\nto make money before Its close If fires\nare to continue In the proportion which\nthey havo thus far shown.\nfound dead In bed at the Vlctolaa hotel\nhere under peculiar circumstances.

After visiting some parts\nof the plant, Ross took Dake up a short\nstairway to a platform where the high\npower switches are and taking off the\ncover of one of the switches, was pointing\nout the workings, when suddenly there was\na blinding flash and Ross fell to the floor.,\nDftk* called Matheson and the two carried\nRoss to the open ailr and -summoned help,\nbut Ross was past all human aid ancPpro-\nbably.dled Instantly.\nWord was wired to Nelson and Dr. Hawkey went down on a speeder, reaching the.\npower plant about 4:30.

Wing, who nas charge of tha\npoultry department nt Cornell university\nexperiment station, hat* made a large number of experiments on a somewhat extensive scale in order to determine tin. cost\nof producing eggs.* This cost, of course\nvaries greatly and.depends on many factors, especially the cost ot foods, the number of eggs Inld, which again may vary\ngreatly with the breed nnd general manage*\nment, etc., on local conditions. The pro*\nfits again depend upon the prices at which\neggs are sold. At the station some of the\nbest egg producing breds were used fo;\nthese tests. Prof. Wing found thnt during\nthe period from December 1 to March 28,\nwhleh comprises the real winter months,\nthe food cost for each doien eggs produced\naveraged In Hull to 1902, and 1902 to 1903, for\nall flocks 17.7 cents and the egg pr-ves\naveraged 28.3 cents In 1901.02 and 23.4 cents\nin 1902.03. There were wide variations, however ln the different periods of four or five\nweeks each, as wel Ins In the different\nflocks. Th results as to the comparntlve\ncost of food and vulue of eggs in 1902-03\nranged from $22.-10 toss to $16.45 profit, for\neach 100 fowls. The food cost wns based\non the following prices per cwt.: Wheat,\n11.45; corn, (1.30; corn on enr, 80c.; oats,\nJ1.76; buckwheat, |1.20; bran, $1.15 wheat\nmiddlings, 11.is; corn meal, ILK; ground\noats', (1.75; ground barley, J1.3S; mixed feed,\n11.50; old process linseed ol! meal, $1.70;\nmeat scrap, $2.15; fresh ground bone, $1;\nskimmed milk, 8 l-2c.; potatoes, 42c; apples, 4fic.\/; turnips, SBcJ; mangles, 2Bst;\ncnbbage, 30c; clover hay, 35c; clover meal,\n70ft\nThese experiments show that there Is a\nchanca of loss as well as of profit. We\ntake it for granted that the fowls, under\nthe tests, were skilfully handled and fed\nand undoubtedly better condlt'ons were\ngiven for a favorable outcome than may\nbe found in the majority of casea on our\nfarms. On the other hand the test period\ncovers just the exact time when fowls are\nthe least productive of eggs. During the\nbalance of the year eggs are produced\nmuch more freely, although they are then.\nmuch lower ln price, and the cost of foods\nare much less as most flocks on farms are\nout on free range and pick up a good dhare\nof their living. For the coming year we\nmust expect a higher cost of food materials\nGrain, meals, etc, have advanced ln price\nahd potatoes, apples, hay, etc, arc also\nmuch higher than for many years.

That it has been the means of\nagain awakening this country to the\nnecessity of providing means to minimize the risk of a holocaust within Its\nborders is evidenced by the sudden display of activity shown by numerous\nCanadian municipalities in testing and\nmaking an inventory of thlr flre-flght.ag\nappliances, says the Toronto Monetary\nTimes. Some of the results ot these investigations are not too reassuring.\nSpasmodic, efforts at attaining the requisite standard of safety will not accomplish a great deal. A definite and\nup-lo-date policy of fire prevention and\nescape is needed ln every town and city\nhi the continent; in no other way will\nthe appalling annual waste of life and\nproperly be lessened. _c_\nThe  strictest  supervision  should  be\nplaced upon schools and all similar\nbuildings where a number of persons\nare crowded together. At present, the\nprevailing Idea seems to he that when\nschool children have been trained in\nfire-drill, that i3 sufficient. If the Cleveland tragedy has taught anything, it is\nthe utter inadequacy of this precaution\nalone. Fire-drill Is excellent so far as\nit goes, it has been the meads of saving many young lives, for experience\nhas proved that children are less prone\nto panic in the presence of danger by\nfire than are adults. Hence, Improperly\ntrained and led, they may be relied upon\nto march out of. a burning building\nquietly and In order. But $bere are\ncases, such as at Cleveland, where more\ntangible and substantial meah.6 of escape are imperative. It is, in fact, generally agreed by* architects and other\nexperts that in all three-story buildings\nnn iron gallery ahd stairways running\nround the outside are sine qua non.\nThe Ontario minister of education has\nIssued a circular insisting upon the\nequipment of schools with fire escapB\nand the provision of adequate exits,\nwhich must open outwards. School inspectors have been instructed that it\nwill form part of their duty to see that\nthese regulations nre observed. This\naction Is the Immediate result of a report received by him with regard to the\nMcKeough school, Chatham. Although\nconsisting of several storys, that building is wholly unprovided with fire escapes? Chatham Is not the only offender.\nIn Toronto, which has experienced three\nschool fires of recent years, a similar\ncondition exists. Few cities could be\nnamed where they do not: The order\nfor reform has assuredly been sufficiently long delayed. It Is regrettable that\nso terrible a warning was necessary to\nproduce it.\nThe compulsory equipment of fire escapes and adequate exits is undoubtedly\na step ln the right direction, but it ts\none that must be followed by others\nbefore the authorities will be relieved\nof the grave responsibility now resting\nupon them. When asked as to the effect of the new regulations, the superintendent of the Toronto schools expre sed\ndoubt as to the practicability of fire\nescapes in schools.\n\"As flre3 in schools,\" he said, \"usually\noccur in weather such as that fire escapes are likely to be slippery and the\nchildren would be liable to fall and get\ninjured, fire escapes are of very little\nuse, It is well known that sidewalks\nmay be cleared off ln the morning and\nbe quite slippery by noon, so it may he\nimagined what difficulty there would be\nin trying to keep fire escapes or galleries safe. Of course, fire escapes are\nof use on other buildings, where there\nure adults, who are better able to\nclimb around. But their usefulness on\nschools Is a very debatable question.\"\nIn conversation with the Monetary\nTimes, the Toronto fire chief spoke in\nno hesitating terms of the necessity for\noutside galleries and stairways ln all\nthree- storeyed school buildings. His\nview is also shared by the city architect, who will presumably make recommendations to the local board of control to that effect. The chief of the\nMontreal brigade, another strong advocate of outside galleries. Is making a\ntour of inspection of tbe schools there,\nand has already discovered many shortcomings. One glaring instance is the\nSt. Helen school, where the lives of a\nhundred little girls, mostly under seven\nand eight years of age. are dally In\njeopardy. Tbe school occupies the third\nfloor of a four-ftory building, the ground\nfloor of which is used as a hardware and\nfuel  alcohol  store.

C.\nThe Place Where Your Dollars Bring Their Full Value\nT-h-\nfrom the class-room Is by a tortuous\nstairway leading through a narrow hallway to the single front door, common\nto all the upper part of the building.\nThe door opens inward, the stairs being just wide enough to permit It to\ndo so. Tn the event of a rush, It would\nbe Impossible to hold it open; hut\nthrough it the children would.have to\ncome as there is no other means of\nescape. Happily, the school expects to\nmove! its quarters next month. But the\nfact that such criminally hazardous conditions have been allowed to exist at\nall is further proof of the urgent need\nfor reforms which should have been\nundertaken by the local authorities\nlong ago.\nThe Montreal Society for the Protection of Women and Children has taken\nup the fight for better protection of the\nschools of Montreal against fire, and\nadopted resolutions provided for petitioning the provincial legislature for the\npassage of laws compelling the authorities to properly equip all school buildings with outside fire escapes.\nFrom all parts of the country come\nreports telling of investigations made\nby municipal authorities of the condition of their schools.

And yet, notwithstanding these\nadverse factors, no less than 33 American mines and-metallurgical works, ac?\ncording to a careful compilation by the\nChicago Mining World, paid dividends\namounting to the large total of $6,742,-\n491 for the first two months of the current year.\nThese 33 concerns have declared in\ndividends to date the enormous sum of\n$253,174,208 on an issued capitalization\nlot $302,041,860, showing 'a return of\nnearly 84 per cent. It should be stated\nthat this record does not include the\nprofits divided by the Amalgamated,\nCopper Range Consolidated and one\nother mines securities holding corporation, which for the two months this\nyear amounted to $1,233,220, making a\ntotal to date $64,819,880 on the outstanding share-capital of $194,266,000, a return of about 33 per cent In less than\n10 years. In addition, there has been\npaid by one metal selling company-\ntile United\u2014which .handles the product\nof the Amalgamated Copper Co. and\nother large interests, $375,000 In dividends this year, making a total of\n$6,000,000 since incorporation in January, 1900, on the $5,000,000 capitalization.\nOf the 29 mines that paid $3,874,930\nIn dividends for the flrst two months\nthis year, seven were copper properties\nwhich contributed $2,332,162.Thesemines\nhave paid to date the large total ot\n$142,596,926, showing a return of nearly\nthree times the Issued capitalization ot\n$52,525,000. Even with copper selling\nat 12 or 13 cents per pound, many of\nthese mines should be able to pay dividends, provided, of course, there Is a\ncorresponding Increase in consumption\nof the metal and the mines are not\n(like some of the recent flotations)\nobliged to meet the 5 or 6 per cent interest on their bond issues. The largest dividend declared by a copper mine\nbo far this year Is $600,000, by Aana-\nconda of Montana; this is $900,000 less\nthan was paid four months previously,\nbefore the. demoralization in copper\nprices agitated the trade. Since its organization ln 1895, Anaconda has paid\ndividends of $39,300,000 on a capitalization of $30,000,000, Boston & Montana,\nanother Amalgamated \"feeder,\" paid a\nquarterly dividend ot $450,000 on Feb.\n24, which is one-half the amount sent\nto the shareholders last November. During the paBt 20 years the Bo*ton & Montana mine has yielded dividends of $57,-\n475,000, which Is more than 15 times\nthe capitalization of $3,750,000. The\nArizona Copper Co., owned largely ln\nGreat Britain, paid dividends of $547,162\nso far this year, making the total to\ndate $11,689,354 on the $3,775,000 capitalization. United Verde, ex-senator\nClark's mine in Arizona, paid a dividend In January ot $225,000, making the\ngrand total since organization, $24,520,-\n322, which Ib over eight times the capitalization of. $3,000,000.\nTwenty-one gold, silver and lead\nmines declared dividends of $1,522,768\ntor the two months this year, making\nthe total upto date $61,148,590 on the\nfesued share-capital of $7,607,200, showing a return of nearly 79 per cent. Most\nof these dividends have been paid by\nso-called low-grade mines, which have\nbeen compelled to adopt the most economical mining and\/ ore treatment processes. The great Alaska Treadwell gold\nmine, which obtains only abotu $2.15\nper ton from ore milled, Is still able to\npay large dividends on Its $5,000,000\ncapitalization; so far this year the declaration has been $150,000 (quarterly),\nequivalent to 12 per cent per annum, and\nmaking the total up to date' $9,135,000 or\n182.7 per cent The Bunker Hill ft Sullivan silver-lead mine In the Coeur\n'dAlene district, Idaho, has a unique\nrecord, being one of the few regular\nmonthly payers; its dividends to tar this\nyear amount ta $150,000, making the\ngrand total to date $9,986,000 on the\n$3,000,000 capitalization. The Home-'\nstake gold mine In the Bleck Hills, S.\nD., Is paying a monthly dividend of 50\ncents per share ($109,200) and has declared to date $16,298,760 (the present\ncapitalization being $21,840,000). Recent\ndevelopments in the economic treatment\nof the slimes at the Homestake suggest\na new lease of life for the mine as a\ndividend payer. The Camp Bird gold\nmine in Colorado, partly owned in Great\nBritain,continues to pay good div dends;\nso lev. this year the amount is $196,800,\nmaking the total to date $4,018,104 on\nthe outstanding capitalization of $4,100,-\n000.\nTHE BEGGAR PRINCE OPERA CO.\nJAY C.
