| Prediction FulnIIch.

Says the Stock Rep0H: The Golden Star Mining company, operating in Arizona, have declared a dividend of twenty-five cents per share, the official notice of which appears elsewhere in this paper. Some months ago we published an account of this com pany and, from information then at hand, predicted the payment of divi- dend by the corporation before the end of the year. We are pleased 10 note the fultillment of our prediction, not because the prediction belongs to us, but for the reason that the eastern owners of the stock arc having a practical and profitable demonstration of Arizona's wealth. Nearly all of the Golden Star stO.k is owned in Philadelphia and vicinity, but the company's office is in this city. We are informed that the ore in sight warrants the statement that the mine will pay dividends for some years to come. The affairs of the company are managed as men manage their own private business.
 The company will ship immediate ly a wire tramway for delivering the ores from the mine to the mill. The capacity of the tramway is 240 tons every twenty-four hours, aud the cost of delivery will be about 12l , cents per ton. It is the intention of the di- rectors of the company to immedi atcly erect another mill. Tomorrow afternoon, at 1 o'clock, they will wit ness the working of the Davis pull verizer, on Berry street. If the results are satisfactory, four of the machines, with capacity of 100 tons per day, will be contracted for at once. There appears to be no doubt about the. sue cess of these pulyerizers, and We are confident the result of the trial to- morrow will be the purchase of the number named for the Golden Sta1 company. With them in operation we shall look for dollar dividends be. fore long. At the meeting yesterday Mr. Sol. Heydenfeldt, jr., was elected director of the cOmpany.

Another DivIdena Mine.

Says the San Francisco BuHtin = The Golden Star Mining company have declared a dividend of 9 cents per share, payable on Monday. This mine is in the Cave Creek dis, irict, Maricopa county, Arizona. The capital is divided into 100000 shares, and the dividend, which is the first announced, is $25,OOO. It is repre- scented that there is an abundance of ore already in sight, the mass of which will yield at least twenty dollars per ton under the stamps, and that it can be mined and milicd for five dollars per ton, so great are the natural ad- Yantages. The rock contains free gold, which is of a very pure charac- ter, and said to be worth nineteen dol. lars per ounce. We welcome the Golden Star to our small list of divi dend paying mines, and hope it will long continue to be a source of profit to stockholders.
