ALICE CoMPANY,s ANNUAL.
1t Makes a First-CIass Comparative
Statement.

One of the most important documents
of late days regarding practical min
ing is just out, in the shape of the
annual report of the president, secre-
tary and superintendent of the Alice
Gold and Silver Mining company. This
Montana property has a peculiar in
terest for Utonians. because of the fact
that 1t is owned by residents of this
city. President James P. Walker says
in part:
Il have the unpleasant duty to per-
form in announcing that the company
practically made no money. In the
annual report of 1898 1 entered into
detail in explaining and giving reasons
why this company or any other silver
mining company, for that matter could
not make any dividends. Conditions
have remained unchanged. excepting
that fine silver has deprecated from
the average annual price of 1898, at
which this company's silver was sold,.
viz: 6Sa4c. per fine ounce, to 59Ac. per
fine ounce, the quotation now. 1t has
been at or near this figure for several
months past. The average price at
which the company sold their fine sill
yer in 1894 was 62-64c. per fine ounce.
This was Gle. per ounce less than the
sales for 1893
The total product for 1894, at the
old standard value of s1,29-29 per fine
ounce, was $455, 631.OS; the discount for
the year was 1921, 294S6; total net pro-
duct, 1924, 1892
The difference between the indebted
ness on the first Of January, 1894, and
the first OF January, 1895, is as follows:
Total indebtedness on January
L, 1854. ......... SIS, sos II
Total Indebtedness on January
l, 1895. 1905 so
Gain for the year. ...........s 473 81
In times of such great depression in
the price of fine silver, and the most
extraordinary fall in the price of silver
this year, dividends cannot be thought
of. 1t is well that the company has
not gone deeper in debt. 1t must not
be forgotten that every ton of ore now
taken out of the mines is done at a
great sacrifice. There is no way to
help it, except to go into debt. Even
then question arises, if the money
could be advantageously borrowed to
pay contingent expenses from year to
year until the reconciliation of silver,
which must come sooner or later. OF
two evils. the least would seem to be
to keep out of debt by running the
plant as heretofore, if it can hereafter
be done at all.
IF the future is to be judged by the
past, then silver mining is doomed to
suffer until an intelligent and i'm
partial administration of the affairs of
the country shall be in the hands of
men who will have foresight sufficient
to take care of the precious metals of
this new country which a beneficent
providence has given for ages to
come"

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.

CHICAGO GENERAL MAtthEI.
Chicago, March 22.-Pronounced weak
ness in the foreign grain markets weak
ened wheat here today and May closed
&c lower. Corn following. losing Is and
oats closed 14c lower. Helped by a scare
ity of hogs, provisions made gains.
The corn market was limp and almost
lifeleSs during a great part of the day.
The recent buying spirit has entirely SUD
sided, and the price is getting no support
from any of the heavy operators. The
receipts here today were 100 cars and 2io
are estimated for tomorrow. The exports
for the day from the Atlantic ports were
5000 bushels, including 1850 bushels
from New Orleans.
Oats were active and a good business
was transacted. Prices were weaker with
the other cereals and was to some eX-
tent ruled by them. However free sell
ing by the Carrington-Hannah and Bat
lett-FraZier'S was very influential in low
ering prices. The demand was fair
throughout, especially for May at &c
The crowd in general took up the offer
ings. May sold from 29Is to 1895 down TO
2S7s and closed at 29.
Influenced by present and prospective
light hog receipts, provisions were very
firm with few sellers. The greatest
strength and highest prices obtained early
in the day but in the end gains were es-
tablished of from 10 to 15c in pork and
10c each in lard and ribs Hog receipts,
which yesterday were estimated at $1,000,
turned out to be 21,oOO. and for tomorrow
1000 are expected.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

(Extract from a New York IetterN

Some time since, as 1 was standing near the Twentieth street entrance of Lord & Taylor's magnificent Broadway store, waiting to be escorted to the ready made suite department, I heard this scrap of conversation between lady and gentle man who had met, casually.
 "Where do you suppose spent last Sunday?" asked the gentleman.
 "I have no idea; you are here, there, and every where."
 ''Yes, in the line of business. We'll, I will tell you, at Jay Gould's mansion"
 "Then you are an authority as to how such kind of people spend holy timer"
 ''I was sure you would ask"
 But l have not"
 'But being perfectly we'll aware that you are desiring to know shall tell you that we attended church in the morning, discussed the sermon at lunch, spent the afternoon in the conservatory, and after dinner passed the evening until an early bed time singing gospel songs."
 "Not the Moody & Sankey?"
 "Yes, and they sang them with just as much enjoyment and in the same spirit as do christians not overbu1dened with this worlds goods"
 thought of this when I heard of the caterers wagon, with its white aproned walters, being sent with tubs of ice cream and hampers of cake and sandwiches to Industrial School No. 6 at the Allen-st memorial church of the American Female Guardian Society, of which Miss Helen Gould is a manager.
 Miss Anna Gould sent the beautiful and bountiful lunch, here, and to Industrial School No. up in East Eighteenth street in honor of her wedding.
 And it can be well imagined that the 800 delighted children will never cease tC honor the Countess de Castellane and tc wish for her every earthly good. This, to me, has been the prettiest part of the Gould wedding, but I have not seen it mentioned in any country paper although every detail has been given o. the arrangements at 9th Avenue. Is f on the same principle of the girl who saiC she never expected to be titled lady her self, but she did love to read about then in novels.
 Hearts are the same the world over and let us all give our best wishes to tho very wealthy people, who, at times, neeC our sympathy as we'll as our congratula l t1ons. BARBARA VAUGHN.

K. Talcott, of Rock vile. In 1848 MT. Kingsbury rem owed to Rockville, and helped to start the Ameri- can mill, of which he was for five years superintendent He returned to his farm in Coventry in 1853, and the same year was chosen deacon of the Congregational church, remaining in that office the rest of his life. For year after his return he was agent of the Washington mill in Gov entry. He was superintendent of the Sunday school and treasurer of the church and society for many years, also has held the office of school visitor both in Vernon and Coventry. In 1866 he was member of the legislature. A correspondent says He served for many years as town school visitor with the late Dr. c. A. Cal houn. The smooth fields inclosed by heavy stone walls about his home testify to his untiring industry, and he took 8 lively interest, even to the very last, in the progress of farm science, and was frequently one of the first to adopt new and improved ideas. Many years ago, when commercial fertilizers were a com paratively new thing, he commenced using them to bring up his farm to it's present productive state, and always kept care- full account of all farm products. April 9th, 1889 MT. and Mrs. Kingsbury cele- brated their golden wedding.
