the Amount Dfsbursed to share
Last Year.

A few years ago the Cortez mine
near Beowawe, then owned by S,
Wenban, was considered valueless ex.
cept by its owner, and it had run him
in debt all that he could get trusted.
He succeeded, however, in getting his
son-in-law, who was a wealthy cattle
man, to advance money enough to
buy provisions and mining tools until
he finally struck ore which paid more
than expenses. After he had paid all
Indebtedness and ran his bank account
up to six figures, he went to London,
where he incorporated the mine and
disposed Of part Of the stock, he retain
ing a controlling interest and the
management Of the mine. Last year
the profits of the mine was S247 900
and dividends amounting to $l50,00O
were paid the stockholders. The ore
in reserve is said to be larger than at
any previous time and the Cortez,
which some years ago would not sell
for a thousand dollars, could not be
bought to-day for a million, and it is
doubtful il the English stockholders
would sell even at that price. Mining
is in many respects risky business,
but there are not many things, since
the breaking up of the Star Route and
Naval rings, that pay as well.-Silver

Antelope Valley.

James G.. Ford, OF the firm Of Ford
& Co., stock and sheep raisers in this
county, returned from their Antelope
ranch last Sunday. He says the snow
in the vicinity OF Lone Mountain,
Grubbs Wells and Bean Flat is from
eighteen inches to two feet deep all
over the country, and that the losses
in horses in that locality has been
very great, and that eighty per cent
of all the cattle are dead. In the
gulches and ravines the snow is very
deep, and he saw a number OF horses
heads sticking out OF the snow, where
they had starved and frozen to death.
Mr.. Ford thinks that Mrs. Winzell,
Coyle and Tonkin will be the
heaviest losers in horses and cattle.

II we omitted in our issue Of last

Cured from the desire on our part tc
not too deeply probe the already ex-

even for the qualification Of the anxious

Of the brave young men who under

their number had their feet f~rostbitten
and might all have persisted in the
snow, in making special mention Of
one, who for his greatness OF soul de-
serves the highest place in the ranks
OF humanitarians. viz, Fred I'm Ober-
steg, the section boss, whose station is
about a mile and a half this side Of
the Hay Ranch. When the young
men were nearing the section house

ing agood fire in his stove, started out
on that bitter cold night and piloted
them to his harbor oil safety. Fred
had himself, on one occasion, been in
similar peril and a victim Of frozen
feet. The boys do not hesitate to say
that he saved some of them from
actually perishing in the snow. He
not only brought the leaders OF the
party to his hospitable fireside, but
went out time and again, walking TO
and fro, until the last of them were
safely housed, and then his past ex-
perience served them in the hour of
their need. He promptly bathed
their feet in snow as one by one they
strung along, and attended them with
that tender care which calls forth
this public expression Of their graft
tude. Well worthy Of mention also is
one Of the party, F. l.. Smith, who,
by reason of having strained his ankle
when about a mile ont from Mineral
Station was compelled to lag behind,
insisted that his companions should
not wait for him, but push on to ave
themselves, and leave him to get
along alone as best he could. Such
courage and magnanimity as this will
steer the possessor over many Of the
breakers Of life. At least we hope So.
