The DeLamar Output.

> ieAf"hiai niiHes, up until March
81 OF this year, beginning from the time
they came into the possession of the
present company, in April, 1891, pro-
duced and milled 2e2,s9I dry tons of
ore, from which was realized IS, 323 900,
out OF which 4,3so, 600 was paid in divi-
dends to the shareholders, being 1I7H
per cent of the original capital invested,
OF which $4,000 is still remaining in
the reserve fund. The amount of
money paid out for expenses during the
eight years is $4,000.
The foregoing figures are worth care
full consideration in estimating the value
OF mine to the country. More than
three million dollars taken out of the
rocks in DeLamar mountain have been
put in circulation in Southern Idaho.
A town of about one thousand people
has made a market for the products of
the ranchers in this and adjoining
counties. The three million dollars put
III circulation means that much money
which has staid in the country paying
for the education of children and doing
good in thousand ways. That much
money taken out of the ground, at loss
to stock growers of the use of few
square miles of grazing land, and to the
few people originally living here of the
scrubby timber on our hillsides, has been
for their gain in thousand ways.
properly managed mine is one of the
foremost agents of prosperity. 1t is
only the smaller proportions of its product
that is taken out of the country, the bal
ance remaining to build homes, school
houses, roads, churches and other instu-
tons of civilation therein. The prospec-
tors campfire has been the beacon light
| which has led civilization across what
was once known only as the Great Amer
lean Desert, across the rocky division of
the continent and over the Serras and
peopled an empire with the most pro-
gressive, loyal and industrious people the
world has ever known. Besides this. that
same prospectors beacon light has led
the way to where the wealth was found
which has made the growth and pros
perity of the older portion of our country
what it is to day. Civilization owes much
to the prospector and miner. Borrowing
the words from Owyhee's own popular
orator, it is to the miner whose days and
nights are spent in the Railways or on the
stairways and in the rooms and and al
coves of windowless home, clothed
until eternity in the darkness o. ever
lasting night, that the world owes much
of its advancement.-De Lamar Nugget.

flattering business offer from his brother

Idaho, after so many years residence,
suits him.
