All information coiiCciHihS H''hihS
enterprises is of the very first interest
TO the average Nevadan, and hence ii
ia that we take the trouble to shove in
something on the above head. Among
the local mining interpretations which
paid the heaviest dividends during the
vear we're the following: Consolidat-
I'd Virginia, Sl2.9 5000; Eureka Con
solidated, S35O,000; Northern Belle,
1850. 600: R%edington Quicksilver Min
ing Company, Si53. 100. In addition to
the dividends of mining companies al
ready reporl ed eighteen other mining
interpretations paid from M to eight
dividends during the year. The Bel
cher and Crown Point mines paid one
dividend each last January, amount
ing to S3l2,000 and 500 900 respective
ly. The Great Western Quicksilver
Mining Company paid S25,000 in jan
u4ry and a similar amount in Febrna
nv. The Rye Pa CHI Consolidated paid

and The Empire mine al Rowland Flat

The Indian Queen mine paid $4,000 in
October and $780, u0 in December. The
Excelsior Water Company of Yuba
county paid five dividends during the
year, amounting to about 800 900. This
showing of dividends certainly is hand
ON and speaks well for the mines;
but from the signs already in view the
y-ar 1876 will he far more prolific in
'asiling corporation dividends than 4.
the year 1919.
